"Bold and Brash" is a fictional painting created by the character Squidward Tentacles in the Season 2 episode of SpongeBob SquarePants titled "Artist Unknown." In the episode, Squidward proudly presents the abstract piece to an art critic, only to be told it "belongs in the trash." Since its debut in 2001, the image has become a staple of internet culture, used to satirize self-importance or mock content that is perceived as low quality. The meme typically involves replacing Squidward's painting with another image or using the catchphrase to dismiss an idea. It represents the ultimate snub in the art world and remains one of the most recognizable visual gags from the series.
