The Mr. Krabs Blur meme, also known as Shook Mr. Krabs, originated from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'Pretty Patties.' The image features Mr. Krabs standing in the middle of a crowd, but edited with a heavy radial blur to simulate a sense of dizziness or extreme panic. It first went viral on Twitter in early 2016, where users paired the image with relatable scenarios involving confusion, sudden stress, or waking up from a nap feeling completely lost. Since then, it has become the gold standard for visual humor representing an internal state of chaos and disorientation.
