The Mr. Krabs meme, specifically the 'Confused' or 'Blurred' version, features the iconic Spongebob Squarepants character surrounded by a dizzying radial blur. It first gained viral traction on Twitter in early 2016, quickly becoming the internet's go-to visual for expressing extreme confusion, sensory overload, or sudden panic. The image is actually a screen capture from the episode 'Pretty Patties,' edited to look like Krabs is spinning out of control. It is most commonly used to describe the feeling of waking up from a nap disoriented, being overwhelmed in high-stress social situations, or reacting to a shocking and sudden realization.
