About
Sandy Chases SpongeBob and Patrick refers to a scene from SpongeBob SquarePants in which SpongeBob and Patrick run from Sandy after she gets mad at them for making fun of Texas, her home state. The scene grew popular as an Object Labeling meme and later inspired edits in the Verbalase Running From Charlie MorningStar meme.
Origin
On March 22nd, 2000, season 1 episode 18a of SpongeBob SquarePants, titled "Texas," premiered in the US.[1] In the episode, SpongeBob and Patrick mock Texas to try and convince Sandy to stay in Bikini Bottom. Eventually, they go too far, causing her to chase both of them (scene shown below). The portion of the chase that became a meme involves Sandy capturing Patrick, triggering a massive explosion off screen.

The post received more than 33,400 notes in two years (shown below, left). On March 26th, 2023, Reddit[3] user KMRAAthicc uploaded an anti-meme object labeling edit to the /r/notinteresting subreddit.
