- I like just how just specifically perfect
all of these memes fit for the face even though they're all
such different things and emotions.
- There he is! There he is.
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- (FBE) All right. So today, we're gonna show you a series
of memes that recently began trending, mainly on Twitter.
- I am so ready. I love Twitter.
- Recently, I know the Patrick meme is huge.
That's what's blowing up. - Is it the Patrick meme?
Please. Is it the one? Please.
- This is probably the Evil Patrick meme.
- (FBE) Now, a heads up. This does have
some explicit elements, but we don't want you
to shy away from it. So we'll bleep some of this
once it's online, but you can read it aloud here as we go.
- But my eyes! (laughs)
- All right, Mom, don't watch this. You already know what I do.
Just keep it halal most of the time, but sometimes, look the other way.
- Oh! The Patrick ones! Yes! I've seen these.
- I've seen plenty of these Patrick memes before!
They're not just on Twitter, they're everywhere! (chuckles)
- "When he gives you [bleep] and start telling you
how good you taste, but really he tasting
another [bleep]."
(groans) I'm never gonna be able to watch SpongeBob again.
- That's disgusting.
- That's mean. Oh my god.
- "When she say your [bleep] taste"--
I can't! (chuckles)
- "When she say your [bleep] taste good,
but she really just tasting your side..."
- "But she really tasting your side chick [bleep]." (chuckles)
Great, you know, making fun of cheating.
- It's a reversal, ohh!
There's a Patrick meme for every sexual deviant!
- Literally, this meme is everywhere.
And I don't know who started it, but literally,
it's the biggest Twitter phenomenon right now.
- "Me kicking ice under the fridge." See, that's pure.
- Pretty sure everyone's done that at least once.
- You get the cup full of ice, you wanna get your drink,
you don't have time to pick it up.
It'll just melt, and I'll mop it up later.
- It's water, dude. It melts. Let it do its thing.
Let nature take its course on the ice.
- "Me reading your message previews from the pulldown bar on my phone
and not answering for the next six hours."
I do that. - Oh, this is so me! Oh my god!
- I do that a lot to my sister.
- I feel like I just got read. That was... (chuckles)
That was too close for home.
- I like how just specifically perfect
all of these memes fit for the face even though they're all
such different things and emotions.
- "How my professor looks at the exam
knowing it's nothing like the study guide."
- Yeah, there are some mean teachers who do stuff like that.
- Professors looking at this right now,
like, "Me as [bleep]." - That triggered me.
I literally have a professor like that right now.
- "When you google the homework and the answers are online."
Yeah, that was always clutch.
- In high school, you can't find anything.
but the good thing about college is you can find everything.
It's always on Quizlet.
- Quizlet is what it's about. Shoutout.
- When you find that Quizlet,
it's just, like, you cannot not look.
- This is me looking at Quizlet, chapter three to four,
and everything's in order too.
- Quizlet (smooches) has come in clutch
so many times! (laughs)
- "Your girl thinking of another argument
she can start when she see you having a good day." (chuckles)
- I never got that. Why start an argument when,
you know, the day's going so well? - Who are these girls? (laughs)
Are they real? Are these the Bachelor girls you're dating?
- That was me in high school.
I brought up that he was messaging another girl on Facebook
or something just to start a fight just because I was like,
"I feel like fighting."
- "When he tells you he's falling in love with you,
but you know the period blood in the spaghetti
is what really did the trick."
What?! - This is a real thing.
This is a spell.
- That's just nasty!
- No, I don't even wanna think about that.
- Ew! What is wrong with the world?! (laughs)
- Why the [bleep] did she even come up with this?
What kind of voodoo dark magic is this?
- (laughs) I love these dark ones, 'cause you just...
You gotta reread it a few times. You're just,
"Uh, I'm sorry. Spaghetti with what?"
- "When you're secretly on birth control and you ask
for Plan B money." That [bleep]'s expensive.
- Did Cardi Bi do that? Oh my god! I love Cardi B.
- Oh no, Cardi B! "I need $45."
I mean, Cardi B keeps it real.
- Girl! (chuckles)
Oh my god. Doesn't it-- Wait, doesn't she have the money?
- The best part is that Cardi B posted this and then someone said,
"Cardi B, aren't you a millionaire?" And she said, "Bitch, so what?
I still need $45!"
And honestly, that's a [bleep] mood, bro.
- I'm not gonna say that's smart, 'cause that's messed up,
but I mean, she has a point.
I know it's gonna be dead in a day, but I love these.
- They're relatable, because it's all the [bleep]
that people don't wanna say they do, but they do, that everybody does.
- (FBE) So those were all Savage Patrick memes,
which are also sometimes called Angry Patrick memes
or Evil Patrick memes. The image comes from the show
SpongeBob Squarepants, and we actually have a clip
from the episode that image was featured in to show you next.
- I wanted to see this! Thank you so much.
- Good stuff. You should always know the lore of your memes.
♪ (dramatic music) ♪
- (SpongeBob panting)
- Oh, this is the one where he's naked.
I don't like that. - Classic naked SpongeBob.
♪ (dramatic music) ♪ - There he is! There he is.
- (Patrick) I got you now, SpongeBob!
- Oh, this is where it's from.
- I'm having flashbacks. I know this episode.
- I can't even tell you how many times I've seen
this specific episode.
- Oh, the memories.
- (Patrick) Okay! ♪ (sad string music) ♪
So this is the way it's gonna be. I hope you're happy.
- I think now we need to make a meme of him crying.
- Oh, is this the one where he wants to become a jellyfish?
- The fact that they just got that little piece
out of this one episode is insane.
- This is one of the original episodes,
'cause you can tell just by the art style.
SpongeBob's gonna be spawning memes for decades to come.
- (FBE) SpongeBob premiered in 1999, almost 20 years ago.
- Oh my gosh. Wow, okay. I feel old.
- I grew up watching SpongeBob.
- I've been watching SpongeBob since it existed. Holy [bleep]!
- (FBE) We've seen a variety of memes come out
of SpongeBob Squarepants over the years,
from the Mocking SpongeBob meme to the Confused Mr. Krabs meme,
the Surprised Patrick meme, and many others.
- Yeah, there's a new SpongeBob meme every single year.
It's like Christmas. - (FBE) Why do you think the show
has been such good material for memes over the years?
- I mean, the show in general is just a giant [bleep] meme.
It's hilarious. - Memes are more funny
when you know where it's coming from.
So it's kind of just like, "Oh, someone found
this ridiculous still from SpongeBob and we're all using it
and ruining people's childhoods." - You can literally take a still
from, I think, any animated television show
and make a meme out of it. But I don't know, there's just--
I think it's the creativity along with just the animation.
- Each character is really big and really different
with their facial expression, 'cause it's supposed
to be a kids' show, that the internet just takes it
and runs with it.
- It's a show that really can be so meme-ified
with everything that goes on in it.
And especially for my age group, SpongeBob was so a part of our lives.
So it's something that I think most people can relate to.
- It was in the formative years of the meme culture pretty much,
'cause it generally is the people that grew up watching it
that are the ones making the stupid memes,
so that's what they pull from,
'cause that's what they watched as a kid.
Like, there are very few I Love Lucy memes floating around.
- (FBE) From what you see, the meme didn't seem
to have anything to do with the SpongeBob clip.
That seems like it tends to happen frequently with memes.
So what do you think about how so many memes
spawn from things that have little, if anything, to do
with where they came from? - I think that's totally fine,
and I think that's why it works as a meme,
because you don't need any context besides the text.
- It's kind of like a college kid Rorschach test,
where you see just such a generic image
and whatever you think is your own weird psychological imprint
of what it becomes,
and you just wanna share that with the rest of the world.
- It's all about the facial expression on the meme
and what the meme represents to you.
It's creative. It's funny. I mean, if you just stick
where the origin's from you're not really gonna get
that much content out of it.
- (FBE) So finally, out of all the SpongeBob memes you've seen,
where does the Savage Patrick meme rank for you?
- Uh, not very high.
It's not the funniest one that I've seen.
- It wouldn't rank in the top five.
- I think it's second to the Confused Mr. Krabs.
- Top three. The lowercase, capital case one is pretty fire,
and I think the GOAT still is the freaked out Mr. Krabs one.
That [bleep] just cracks me the [bleep] up.
- The Patrick one is probably one of my favorites,
just because I thought the SpongeBob making fun of people,
just the "Hehehe," one, I thought that one was kinda stupid.
- Probably top two. I definitely love just SpongeBob
sitting at the table with a coffee by himself
just contemplating. I don't know. It really speaks to me. (chuckles)
- I'm gonna have to put it right behind Caveman SpongeBob,
'cause Caveman SpongeBob is a classic,
and it comes from one of the SpongeBob TV movies.
And it was just Jurassic, man.
- The amount of [bleep] wild captions and titles
that people come up with this, the spaghetti period blood,
like what the [bleep]? That's fantastic. I love that.
That's good. I think that's why it works.
That's why it's my favorite... of the SpongeBob memes.
