The SpongeBob's Wallet meme, also commonly known as Patrick's ID, originates from the classic SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III.' In this scene, the reformed villain Man Ray attempts to return a lost wallet to Patrick Star by showing him the ID inside. Despite the evidence, Patrick repeatedly denies the wallet is his, leading to Man Ray's hilarious frustration. The meme serves as the ultimate visual metaphor for cognitive dissonance or someone's refusal to accept an obvious truth. It is frequently used to mock stubborn arguments, political ironies, or any situation where facts are being blatantly ignored.
