About
Mr. Krabs Admiring His Painting By The Fireplace refers to an exploitable meme featuring Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants sitting by a fireplace and admiring a painting or piece of artwork. The image comes from season 4 of the animated children's show in an episode where Mr. Krabs turns the Krusty Krab restaurant into the Krusty Towers Hotel. The screengrab is often edited to show Krabs admiring an image instead of the original still, where Krabs can be seen admiring a plaque that reads, "We shall never deny a guest even the most ridiculous request." The meme is sometimes referenced in the form of emojis that constitute the image, such as 🦀🪑🔥🖼️.
