The 'Stop it, Patrick! You're Scaring Him!' meme originates from the Season 2 episode of SpongeBob SquarePants titled 'The Secret Box.' In this iconic scene, Patrick Star is making a frightening face or noise while trying to get SpongeBob's attention regarding a mysterious box. SpongeBob, visibly shaken, delivers the famous line to try and calm Patrick down. Online, the meme is frequently used to mock someone who is being overly intense, aggressive, or sharing too much information that 'scares' or overwhelms others. It has become a staple of SpongeBob-themed reaction images across social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter.
