The 'Listen You Crustaceous Cheapskate' meme originates from the Season 3 episode of SpongeBob SquarePants titled 'Born Again Krabs.' In this iconic scene, an uncharacteristically furious SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs after discovering his boss sold his soul to the Flying Dutchman for a mere sixty-two cents. The image of SpongeBob aggressively grabbing Mr. Krabs by the shirt has become a universal symbol for calling out extreme greed, corporate stinginess, or anyone making a ridiculously bad deal for minor financial gain. It is frequently used on platforms like Reddit and Twitter to react to price hikes, microtransactions, or cheap behavior in everyday life.
