The 'I'll Have You Know' meme originates from the 2002 SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'No Weenies Allowed.' In this scene, SpongeBob attempts to gain entry into the Salty Spitoon, a club for tough characters, by bragging about his 'toughness' to the bouncer, Reg. The template captures SpongeBob looking confident while stating, 'I'll have you know I stubbed my toe last week while watering my spice garden, and I only cried for twenty minutes.' On the internet, the meme is used to ironically boast about small, un-tough accomplishments or minor inconveniences handled with hilariously excessive emotional reactions.
