The 'Alright Bro I'm Boutta Head Out' meme features a classic still of SpongeBob SquarePants from the episode 'The Smoking Peanut,' where he is seen rising from his armchair. While the episode aired in 2001, the image gained viral status in late 2018 and 2019 as a reaction image for any situation involving an immediate, often awkward, departure. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of realizing a situation is no longer for you, whether it's a boring party, a heated online debate, or a confusing conversation. Its simplicity and SpongeBob’s determined expression make it one of the most versatile and relatable 'exit' memes in internet history.
