The 'Firmly Grasp It' meme is a classic moment from the Season 2 SpongeBob SquarePants episode titled 'Jellyfishing.' In this scene, Patrick Star is attempting to teach a full-body-casted Squidward how to catch jellyfish. Patrick's increasing frustration leads him to scream 'Firmly grasp it!' while violently shoving a jellyfish net into Squidward's bandaged hand. The meme gained massive popularity for its relatable depiction of someone trying to 'help' in a way that is actually overwhelming or painful. It is commonly used to represent forced participation, aggressive encouragement, or situations where a simple task is being made unnecessarily difficult.
