Memes are produced these days like clockwork. They blow up out of no where, give us a couple laughs, then fade back into the eternal blackness that is the internet. This week was no different, as this week saw the birth of the Spongebar meme.
What is it? Well, let’s begin with it’s origin. On December 31st, 1999, a primitive version of Spongebob Squarepants depicted with long canines and wearing a loincloth, was introduced in the episode “SB-129″. In this episode, Squidward Tentacles travels back in time to the pre-historic era. Then, on March 5th, 2004, a prehistoric ancestor of Squarepants named SpongeGar was introduced in the episode “Ugh” .

Now, seemingly out of nowhere, the Spongegar meme has become one of the biggest on the internet. There are Twitter and Instagram pages dedicated specifically to Spongegar memes.
