About

30 Billion SpongeBobs vs. Goku refers to a series of memes based on an assumption that 30 billion SpongeBobs would defeat Goku from Dragon Ball in a battle. The hypothetical scenario stems from the "How Many SpongeBobs To Defeat ___ ?" comparison video posted on YouTube in September 2021, later becoming popularized in memes and viral debates on the topic in October of that year.

Origin

On September 16th, 2021, YouTube[1] channel WatchFiction posted a comparison video titled "Comparison: How Many SpongeBobs To Defeat ___ ?" in which they ballparked the number of SpongeBob SquarePants required to defeat various fictional characters in a battle. In the video, Goku from Dragon Ball manga and anime series was deemed the strongest character to defeat, with WatchFiction estimating his power at 30 billion SpongeBobs. The video received over 615,000 views in one month (shown below).



On October 6th, 2021, Redditor Patrice_Ewans posted a screenshot of two Discord messages sent by their friend, one a screenshot of the video and the other a captioned image referencing the meme. The post received over 8,500 upvotes in the /r/196[5] subreddit in three weeks (shown below).

Precursor

In mid-January 2017, a post listing five reasons why Goku would lose to SpongeBob in a fight went viral[2][3] (original author unknown, shown below). The post had been reposted and remade multiple times in the following years.[4]


Reasons Goku loses to Spongebob: 1. Spongebob can't take damage. In fact, it tickles him. 2. He has detachable limbs he can regrow at any time. 3. He is a master of Karate. 4. He can make guided missile bubbles appear out of nowhere. 5. He is always ready. THT

Spread

Later on October 4th, 2021, iFunny[6] user iwannafuckgwendolin recreated the captioned image from the Reddit post, with the post gaining over 210 smiles. Later on the same day, iFunny[7] user Nanu remade the Reddit post, with their post gaining over 25,100 smiles on the app in three weeks (shown below, left).

The problem with this meme is that it implies the 30 billion Spongebobs are gonna beat up Goku they have zero reason to beat him up physically they'll just unleash their iconic laugh in unison and break his saiyan sanity in ten second stoping right before they finish him thus comdeming him into a fate worse than death
