(upbeat music) - Hey I'm Butch Hartman,
creator of the Fairly Odd Parents & Danny Phantom
and a bunch of other Nickelodeon shows.
- Hey I'm Kyra.
- And today, we are going to be drawing...
Oh, you don't know do you.
- I don't know, what are we doing?
- So today we're gonna be drawing SpongeBob memes.
- No, what?
- From memory.
- SpongeBob does not cross my Facebook feed.
- Yeah, well you're gonna have a tough time with this then.
(laughs)
- But first be sure to stay tuned to the end
of the video to find out how you can enter for a
chance to win this Wacom Intuos tablet.
- Wacom wacom wacom..
- For all of your digital drawing needs.
- Wacom wacom wacom.
- I know how to draw SpongeBob characters but the memes,
aren't there like a million of them?
A million memes?
- Yeah there are.
I know, I know, I tried to to research, but it was hard.
- You know what meme actually means?
- It means Butch Hartman can't draw this,
that's what that means.
- [Man] You guys are drawing Surprised Patrick.
- Oh no, I don't know which one that one is.
Is that the one where he's just like--
- He's just like.
- Open mouth?
- Mhm. - All right.
- [Man] Handsome Squidward.
- Yes!
- Handsome Squidward? Okay.
- [Man] Spongegar.
- Okay this is the one I'm pretty sure I can do.
- What is he doing?
- I talked about it in an older episode.
- Okay, explain this to me, I know Squidward.
- Spongebob, are you-- - He's beautiful, he's like
what he wishes he could be.
- Got it.
- Let me break it down for you.
So he's like a caveman Spongebob,
he's got like ape face right?
- Okay ape face.
- Ape face, yes.
- Okay.
- He's got like a little loin cloth.
- Loin cloth.
- Loin cloth, and he's like shocked, so he's like.
- Wow.
- Just like that, he's got like his mouth
kinda off to the side and he's like.
- Okay, I think--
- You got it?
- Maybe.
- Do you want me to stand here the whole time
in my pose for you?
(laughs)
- He looks like a man more than a octopus.
- Oh it's Squidward's face, did he have Squidward's face?
- Sort of.
He's like a man wearing a Squidward-like
body paint almost. (laughs)
- Okay got it, got it okay.
- He's very handsome. - I think I got this.
He said, not having it at all.
- One thing very distinct about handsome Squidward,
he has squinted closed eyes and very pursed lips.
- Hmm, like the smolder.
- Yes.
- Have you actually seen this meme before?
- I think I know what it is.
- Right.
I've seen it before, and I don't really
pay attention to memes.
- So, this is a universal meme.
- I'm saying it is.
- So it's a smaller nose.
- Yeah, same nose but smaller.
- Same nose but smaller, he's handsome Squidward.
- How many fingers does Spongebob have again?
- Four? - Four? Okay.
- I think he's a four fingered cartoon.
- I wonder why SpongeBob is the thing
that gets memeified so much.
I mean they're very funny drawings.
- But there's so many episodes, right?
- Yeah.
- There's like so much to pull from.
- Yeah there's a lot to draw on I guess.
- What is he looking at when he's doing this?
- He's kind of just like staring off into the void.
- Into the void.
- Jason I am here for you.
For whatever you need, I will be your meme spirit guide.
- I don't know how big his eyes are.
- Yeah I just--
- Cause when you're drawing people surprised
they either have really big eyes or really small eyes.
- I'm like, a little...
It doesn't quite look like what I'm imagining.
Know what kids?
If someone ever tells you memes are easy,
you tell them, well Jackie said they're not.
- Memes are hard.
- Memes are really hard actually.
- You now what, I think I drew something.
I drew like a surfing, high SpongeBob.
- A surfing high SpongeBob?
You know what, actually looking at mine,
I think that is kinda what he is.
- Butch, while you were at Nickelodeon
did you get to meet or hang out with any of
the SpongeBob crew?
- Absolutely, met them of course and then
worked around them everyday.
The environment in those days was very interesting
because we all knew each-other, we saw each-other
but everybody was so focused on making their shows
all day, we were just kinda just in our little nest
doing our work.
But occasionally they'd have office parties and
get-togethers and events and things, we'd see each-other.
They were the nicest guys, you know Vincent Waller's
a very good friend of mine, and a very sweet guy,
and a super talented artist, Stephen Hillenburg,
I knew him pretty good, didn't know him as well
as I wanted to, he was a very quiet guy, but the
nicest guy in the world. - Aww.
- I knew him for like 20 years.
- Mine's going good so far, I made the mouth a
little bigger because you made me second guess.
- I'm going huge with the mouth.
- I feel like--
- Cause I feel like that's the whole meme is just
like, how surprised he is. - It's just his mouth.
- Yeah.
- He's very surprised.
- I may have screwed up his feet.
- How could you do that?
- I think I may have given him more feet than
he actually has.
- What does that mean? What?
How did you do that?
- Did you say, what does that meme?
- No!
No no no no!
- Does he have like, armpit hair?
- Yes.
No, I don't know.
- You don't know, okay.
- You should give it.
I love these details you're adding though,
and I think you should go for it.
- Does he have like, pimples?
- Well no, cause he's already got holes.
- Oh true, true.
I'm not deleting that.
- Some ships have sailed already.
- [Man] Strong and wrong, Jason.
- Strong and wrong. (laughs)
- Let me ask you this, have you watched
my YouTube channel?
- I have not, I need to.
What is it?
- It has a super creative name, are you ready?
- Yes.
- It's called Butch Hartman.
- Fantastic.
- I do a lot of stuff about artwork and cartoons,
just entertainment based like if a new Marvel movie
comes out I'll draw Marvel Characters in the
Fairly Odd Parents style.
- I did a bunch of Danny Phantom 10 Years Later videos,
cause Danny Phantom is a very popular character.
- That's awesome, people love seeing artists
really explain their process and communicate with people.
- I actually really like what I'm drawing.
- That's what's important, this could be the
birth of a new SpongeBob meme.
- That would be dope.
- How many toes does he have?
- I gave him like 3.
- Does he have like, hair on the top of his feet?
- You know how like some people have.
- I'm gonna give him hair on the top of his feet,
I don't think he does, but I think he'd look
cute with hair on his feet.
- It's funny, now when I think of Patrick
I see your drawing.
- Aww. - From our last draw-off
in my head.
- I'm everywhere! (Kevin laughs)
- This is like extra super challenging though, cause
not only do you have to draw this character,
you have to draw him in a very specific pose.
- Yeah.
- How you doing Kevin?
- I'm almost done.
- You're almost done?
- How are you doing?
- I'm doing pretty good, I'm nitpicking now.
- Are you? - Basically.
- Just adding some shading on here now.
- I'm quite sure I got this one wrong too, but oh well.
- He does look like he's like, tripping balls though.
- Yeah, okay good.
You know what, I think you'll capture the spirit of him.
- Yeah.
- If nothing else.
- All right.
- You good?
- I am done.
- All right, let's stop.
- I'm all set.
- Yeah.
- I think I did all right.
I mean the expression isn't like, exactly right.
Jason how do you think you did?
- You know what, I think I followed directions.
I did not get ape face.
- Yeah.
- Because I was trying to draw SpongeBob first.
- So maybe this is actually a test on my
teaching abilities and my abilities to explain.
- Well I drew something that looks like a Squidward
type of character.
Could be related to him.
I wanna see what she thinks, she's the judge, so.
I leave it up to you.
- You'll be the judge of mine.
- All right how do you think you did?
- I have no idea.
I feel like I'm remembering something different,
but you know, I think it's funny.
Maybe this can be the new meme.
- I think I did okay, I think it's surprising that
I remember this meme better than you do.
- I think it's surprising as well.
- Yeah. - Mhm.
All right.
- Let's do it. - Let's switcheroo.
- Ah, I understand the excess of feet now.
- Right?
- Very nice, okay.
- Thank you. (laughing) - Okay, this is really good.
Okay, I like that.
Now I think I have seen this, yes.
- Oh! - Oh wow.
- Oh my god.
- This looks like SpongeBob meets Homer Simpson.
- Oh man, maybe that was the description.
- I think less than an excess of feet,
it feels like you gave him shoes.
- I gave him the wrong feet.
- You gave him wrong feet, you didn't
give him too many feet.
- His feet are just nubs.
- They're just nubs.
- He's a starfish he don't got feet.
- Yeah.
- His lips, they're perfect.
(laughs)
I love them.
He kinda looks like an actor but I can't
really place who.
- So you gave him wall eyes.
- Yeah.
I don't know, I thought the wall eyes felt right.
- Yeah. - In my brain.
- And you also gave him small eyes.
- Yeah.
- You gave him small eyes and wall eyes.
- Wall eyes, small eyes, am I right ladies?
(cricket noises)
Yeah, the, the--
- Once again Butch Hartman reality hits
Butch Hartman in the face.
- Oh, I didn't, oh!
Well okay it was the neck up!
There you go. - You got it close!
Yours is like really close.
- You know who this looks like?
In the Twilight Zone years ago the show To Serve Man.
It looks like the alien from To Serve Man.
No one knows what I'm - He does.
- Talking about, that's what that is.
- Oh boy.
- Uh oh.
- Yeah!
- Wow, you drew the exact thing!
- Wow! - What's up, what's up!
What's up!
- Wow.
The only thing you didn't do is the teeth are like
sharpened edges. - Oh no.
Oh yeah he's got like, tusk teeth.
- This is spot on.
- [Man] Brent, what about Jason's?
(laughs)
- I think you did better than I did.
- Really?
- Yeah, I think, I think..
- I think if we combined our drawings
they would be perfect.
- Right, yeah.
- His mouth is not.
- Not as big.
- Not as big, I thought--
- I let you astray Jackie.
- You led me astray after all the help I gave you
in the other episodes. - I'm so sorry.
The thing that I remembered most about the meme
was that his mouth is a gaping huge.
- It is huge, you know what.
I did have the thing, is that the uvula?
- The little dangley.
- The dangley wangley
in the back of the - I did not do that.
- mouthy wouthy?
- It's the best Patrick you've drawn.
- Thank you.
- You've only drawn two, and this one
takes the cake.
- Thank you.
- This is also an excellent Patrick, once again
not super accurate, but very Jackie.
