About

Stupid Patrick, also known as Dumb Patrick or Waterfall Patrick, refers to a reaction image, image macro, and object labeling meme featuring Patrick Star from the children's cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. The scene originally aired in the "SpongeBob's Birthday Blowout" episode in July 2019, showing the character with a stupid face and an open mouth, drooling a stream of saliva that forms a bubble. Online, the meme gained viral usage on Reddit, Facebook and Twitter / X, often to depict someone considered stupid or dumb for their ideas or beliefs.

Origin

On July 12th, 2019, the SpongeBob SquarePants episode[1] "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout" aired in the United States. In a particular scene, Patrick Star appears drooling with a disfigured facial expression and his stream of saliva forms a bubble floating off the screen. On September 28th, 2019, Nickelodeon UK's [5] YouTube channel posted the scene, which amassed more than 4 million views and 18,000 likes in six years. (seen below)



On July 12th, 2020, the earliest known stupid Patrick meme was posted on Reddit[2] by user u/19ParaTroopa85, who shared a still image of the Patrick Star drooling scene, adding the macro "My son is perfectly fine without vaccines!" The post (seen below) received more than 32,000 upvotes and 183 comments in five years.

For instance, on August 9th, 2020, X[3] user @fitsurgeon posted the stupid Patrick meme alongside a caption in Spanish about a patient described as "conscious, oriented in his thousand spheres, isochoric normoreflective pupils." The tweet (seen below) received roughly 1,000 likes and 233 reposts in five years.

Could just be the conspiracy side of me talking, but I bet a lot of these are Viacom bots forcing certain SpongeBob reactions for the sake of artificially making them go viral. They've already been cashing in on these memes for years now, to the point that they've practically made them an entire pillar of their merchandising. Even the MTG crossover is almost entirely memes FFS. At this point, Viacom just sees SpongBob as a meme generator rather than an actual show.

It even explains why later seasons have been nonstop with their exaggerated expressions. Might be a corporate mandate under the logic of pushing so many of them, surely ONE of them will catch on eventually.
