The 'This One's Looking at Both of Us' meme originates from the 2004 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.' During a tense scene in Shell City, SpongeBob and Patrick are confronted by a deep-sea diver (the Cyclops), leading a bystander fish to remark on the diver's unsettling, unfocused gaze. On the internet, this template is frequently used to describe feelings of being overwhelmed by two simultaneous responsibilities, social anxiety, or the awkwardness of being the center of attention for the wrong reasons. It perfectly captures the chaotic energy of classic Nickelodeon humor applied to modern-day adulting struggles.
