About

Mr. Krabs Telling Story to SpongeBob by a Campfire, also known as Spongebob Mr. Krabs Campfire, is an exploitable image macro depicting the cartoon characters Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob from the Nickelodeon TV show SpongeBob Squarepants. Typically, the format is used to show the meme creator's intense, obscure or extreme views on a particular subject to a disinterested or apathetic listener. It is often used to comment on niche subjects, especially within certain subs on Reddit. The meme shares many similarities to Spider-Man Explaining to Zendaya, Bro Explaining, Mike Wazowski Explaining Things and Me Explaining to My Mom.

Origin

The still used in the meme comes from SpongeBob Squarepants season 1, episode 13a, titled "Scaredy Pants," which originally aired on October 28th, 1999. During the scene (shown below), Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob the story of the Flying Dutchman around a dimly lit campfire inside the Krusty Krab.

The earliest example of the still being used as a meme format comes from a post to the /r/BikiniBottomTwitter on October 3rd, 2019, by Redditor[1] 69peterpumpkineater. The post (seen below), received over 7,100 upvotes and 39 comments.

On November 6th, 2019, Redditor[3] yaboyrose posted a variant to the /r/HistoryMemes sub (shown below, right), receiving over 103,000 upvotes, 770 comments and a few Reddit awards.

Why does every single version of this say "The girl at the party who's only in the bathroom because I have cocaine". I get that for most of them they were just lazy and just blanked out the first part but some of them are in a different font meaning they typed it out in it's entirety knowing that it's just the same thing.
