The 'You Like Krabby Patties, Don’t You Squidward?' meme originates from the Season 3 episode of SpongeBob SquarePants titled 'Just One Bite,' which originally aired in 2001. In the scene, SpongeBob catches Squidward inside the Krusty Krab patty vault, realizing that his coworker—who claimed to hate the burgers—was actually obsessed with them. SpongeBob’s face contorts into an impossibly smug, wide-eyed grin that has since become the internet's universal symbol for catching someone in a blatant lie about their personal preferences. It is frequently used to mock individuals who publicly criticize a trend, show, or hobby while privately enjoying it, making it one of the most relatable 'gotcha' templates in meme culture.
