Pagani and Subaru

Pagani and Subaru or I Call SpongeBob Pagani refers to a series of memes that refer to SpongeBob SquarePants as "Pagani" and Patrick Star as "Subaru." The memes are inspired by the I Call Patrick Subaru meme, which went viral on TikTok in early March 2025. The "Pagani" memes went viral shortly after the Subaru memes began going viral and tend to show the two characters in situations together. The name is likely derived from the Pagani Zonda, an Italian sports car, similarly to how "Subaru" can refer to a car.
