The 'My Name's Not Rick' meme originates from the Season 2 episode of SpongeBob SquarePants titled 'Big Pink Loser,' which aired in 2000. In this scene, Patrick Star receives a trophy for doing nothing, but when he looks at the nameplate and sees 'Rick,' he loses his cool and screams his signature line with a bright red, bulging-veined face. The meme gained internet fame as a reaction image to express extreme frustration, particularly when someone is misidentified or when a minor mistake triggers an over-the-top reaction. Its visual intensity makes it a perfect template for hyperbolizing everyday annoyances and identity-based humor.
