The 'I Happen To Be An Expert On This Subject' meme originates from the classic SpongeBob SquarePants episode titled 'The Paper,' which aired in 1999. In the scene, Squidward Tentacles arrogantly claims expertise while trying to prove he can have more fun with a simple gum wrapper than SpongeBob. Online, the image of Squidward looking smugly confident has become the universal symbol for someone jumping into a conversation to provide unsolicited or overly specific knowledge. It is frequently used to highlight 'well actually' moments, celebrate niche hobbies, or ironically mock people who act like experts on topics they barely understand.
