Later, SpongeBob and Patrick whisper to each other, and SpongeBob thinks of something funnier than 24. Patrick wants to hear it, and he says "25," causing both of them to crack up with laughter. The quote, along with the scene of SpongeBob and Patrick in boating school, is often used in scenarios that mention the number 25.

SpongeBob Wolves

SpongeBob Wolves refers to an edit of a clip from the episode "Nature Pants," in which SpongeBob levitates and becomes surrounded by a heavenly light while the song "Wolves" by Kanye West plays.

The meme, featuring only the unpacking and packing up of the lounge chair, implies that Squidward is excited for or is no longer excited for an unknown unseen occurrence. The meme format consists of a subject (portrayed by Squidward) confronting Instance A (portrayed by his willingness to unpack his lounge chair) and Instance B (portrayed by his unwillingness to enjoy resting on his lounge chair) in two different cells.

These are two similar memes. In "Squilliam Shawty's like a melody," it shows Squilliam at the Krusty Krab saying "No, you don't understand, um, it's not like that. Uh, um, you see it's really quite simple, um uh" (which coincidentally sounds a lot like Squilliam's voice) before it cuts to him dancing while singing "Shawty's like a melody in my-." It is from the lyrics of the song Replay. The Wocky Slush meme is originally a guy showing his Wocky Slush, when another person, who sounds a lot like Squidward or Squilliam, says "Wocky Slush." The meme is usually associated with the "Who put you on the planet scene" because Squilliam's voice syncs with it.

The frogfish then falls into the Trench and is eaten by a giant eel which U-turns to swim back down, taking quite some time. When it is over, the camera zooms in to Patrick and SpongeBob sitting there making surprised faces with their mouths wide open. Patrick's surprised face (known as "Surprised Patrick" or "Starstruck Patrick") has become popular as a reaction image. People will take Patrick and put him in some other picture or gif with a surprising event going on. It has also been edited into many scenes from media that are seen as shocking.

This meme has become one of the most popular SpongeBob memes. Nickelodeon used the meme in promotions for the Kids' Choice Awards in 2015 and 2016. They officially referred to the meme as "Star-Struck Patrick." In the episode "Scavenger Pants," the meme was acknowledged, and Patrick's surprised face returned. SpongeBob also has a surprised expression in the episode, but it is not the same from the first movie and looks more like Patrick's. In the video game Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated during the Jellyfish Fields level, when SpongeBob says, "Oh my gosh -- you're bald!," he makes Patrick's surprised face. This is also one of SpongeBob and Patrick's idle animations in the game. SpongeBob and Patrick also makes the face in the online games Which Patrick Are You?, SpongeBob Saves the Day! and Nickelodeon Lanes .

Tomfoolery

This meme is a form of associated production music from the show, specifically the track "Tomfoolery." Such a track is used in silly, nonsensical moments in SpongeBob SquarePants. In meme context, it involves putting the song over videos showing boring, topical, or even overrated scenes, in order to lighten up the mood.

Additionally, videos known as "The reason I can't/do X" exist, usually involving an image of said thing with Skodwarde slowly creeping up from the bottom of the screen as the song "Advent: One-Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children plays in the background.

The face was seen in the video games Battle for Bikini Bottom, The Yellow Avenger and Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated.

Victory Screech

This is a scene from "The Algae's Always Greener." After the alternate Mr. Krabs has been defeated by SpongeBob, SpongeBob declares "Victory Screech!," and SpongeBob proceeds to make an "OLOLOLOLOLO" sound that all of the patrons (except Plankton, who tenses up at hearing the screech) copy.

This is often used in relation to a ridiculous victory. In an alternate version of this meme, a scream from another franchise is inserted or SpongeBob's voice is edited to make it sound like an existing song or theme song.

"We're talking about this!"

This is a repeated quote from "Krusty Love." SpongeBob, who is suffering a meltdown after buying so many items for Mrs. Puff, finally lashes out at Mr. Krabs, telling him "And then you'll say: 'We're not talking about this or this! We're talking about THIIIIIIIISSSS!'" He draws a triangle in the air with the first "this," a square with the second "this," and then draws over the entire screen with the last "this." This quote perfectly mocks exhausted companies trying to appease its consumers.

"What? It's just an ordinary Krabby — oh my goodness! Squidward!"

This is a quote from "The Algae's Always Greener." When Squidward, after getting switched jobs by Plankton, messes up with a Krabby Patty, Incidental 41 (better known as Nat) accuses Plankton for it, so Plankton replies, "What?

The meme is based on the idea of someone reposting a meme in better image quality than the original.

"Who are you people?!"

This is a quote from "Prehibernation Week." After Patrick arrives home with groceries, he notices a bunch of people under his rock, which leads him to yell out "Who are you people?!" The quote is used again in "I'm with Stupid."

This has been featured in numerous memes and a few videos most notably Facebook. This meme is also featured in another famous Patrick line, "We should take Bikini Bottom, and push it somewhere else!"

"Who put you on the planet?!"

This is a quote from "I ♥ Dancing," when SpongeBob responds to Squidward after he makes fun of his dance move. This is an expression used in online conversations as an insult towards another poster for their perceived stupidity or ignorance. The quote was originally said by Christian televangelist Reverend X in an episode of his public access TV program The Spirit of Truth that aired sometime in the early 2000s, but its colloquial usage came through its inclusion in an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants.

"Who you callin' Pinhead?"

This is a quote from "Survival of the Idiots." When SpongeBob and Patrick pretend to be Dirty Dan and Pinhead Larry while Sandy hibernates, SpongeBob calls Patrick "Pinhead." Patrick is then seen with a human-like face, saying, "Who you callin' Pinhead?"

This image has become incredibly popular as a subject of remixes, edits, and parodies, as well as being called one of the best lines in cartoon history from YouTube videos.

Wormy Close-up

This is a scene from "Wormy." It was first seen when Wormy lands on SpongeBob's helmet, it was seen again when it lands of Patrick's helmet and when Mr. Krabs and Squidward was laughing at Wormy.

Patrick explaining the meaning of the word "Wumbo" has became a popular Internet meme. Meme makers can also make a meme to replace "Wumbo" to a word/topic used. One example of this meme is from the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where Patrick explains the meaning of "Wryyy!," which is known to be Dio Brando's cry.

"We are Invincible!"

This is a line from "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie," which SpongeBob says before Now That We're Men starts.

The intro to the song has been replaced by other songs numerous times on Twitter, starting with the American Dad theme.

X Drops by Squidward's House

This is a YouTube fad based on editing a scene from the episode "Have You Seen This Snail?" where Patrick Star and SpongeBob SquarePants walk in on Squidward Tentacles bathing. The exploitable scene is edited to replace SpongeBob and Patrick with other assorted characters.

"You like Krabby Patties, don't you, Squidward?"

This is a scene from "Just One Bite." After Squidward is caught sneaking off with a Krabby Patty, SpongeBob asks him several questions. Soon, SpongeBob makes a certain facial expression by raising his head and biting his lower lips, saying, "You like Krabby Patties, don't you Squidward?"

SpongeBob's facial expression has become very popular in Internet videos. Other people copying SpongeBob's facial expression have also parodied it, and it was also referenced in "Knock Knock, Who's There?" when SpongeBob looks at his feet.

"You forgot your mayonnaise"

This is a quote by Squidward said in the beginning of "Just One Bite" where Squidward gives Incidental 40 his order. When he leaves, Squidward calls him a barnacle head. When he comes back, Squidward tells him, "You forgot your mayonnaise."

This meme spiked with popularity in 2021 similarly to the "Patrick, that's a pickle" meme. The mayonnaise is sometimes replaced with another object or food and ending in a terrible way. A good example is a "You forgot your Squidward" version on YouTube.

"You took my only food! Now I'm gonna starve!"

A scene from "Life of Crime," when SpongeBob gives Patrick a chocolate bar, he eats it but then Patrick forgets it, so then he desperately searches for it. As he doesn't find it, Patrick blames SpongeBob, saying that he ate his only food, and now he is going to starve, while a close-up shows Patrick's big stomach. It is known as Morbid Patrick, Potroke, Fatrick, Rick-Pat, and Starving Patrick.

"You WHAT?!"

In "Fools in April" when SpongeBob pranks Incidental 6 by putting one ice cube in his drink when he asked for a couple, SpongeBob says "APRIL FOOLS!," Incidental 6 frantically asks "What did you so to my drink?!" then SpongeBob laughs while saying "I... I..." making Incidental 6 panic, and in desperation to know what he did to his drink he says "You what?!"

This phrase is used as a response when someone tells something unbelievable or amazing that they did.
