Originating from the iconic Nickelodeon series SpongeBob SquarePants, the Time Cards are colorful title cards used to indicate the passage of time, often accompanied by a French-accented narrator. These cards, featuring phrases like 'Two Hours Later' or 'A Few Moments Later,' became a staple of internet culture for their ability to hilariously exaggerate delays or long waits. They are widely used in videos and social media to emphasize frustration with slow processes, long loading times, or someone taking too long to finish a task. The variety of patterns and the specific font styles make them an instantly recognizable way to convey the feeling of time dragging on.
