This meme stems from the trend of using AI voice cloning technology to make SpongeBob SquarePants characters say out-of-character or profane things. Specifically, it features a distorted or intense voice of Mr. Krabs threatening Squidward with physical violence. The humor relies on the juxtaposition of a beloved children's cartoon character using harsh language and a menacing tone. It gained significant traction on platforms like TikTok and YouTube in late 2023 and 2024, often paired with surreal visuals or deep-fried filters to enhance the chaotic energy of the audio. It is commonly used to express extreme frustration in workplace or social scenarios.
