You Ruined His Favorite Fucking Holiday For Him refers to a viral video of a guy who poorly greenscreened himself into an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants to confront Squidward for being mean to SpongeBob.

Origin

On September 2nd, 2023, Instagram^[1] user @garbanzo_meatball (aka Nass and formerly @nass_is_openly_a_pikmin) posted a video in which he greenscreened himself into a scene from season 1, episode 19a of SponegeBob SquarePants titled "Fools In April"^[2] in which Squidward intensely pranks SpongeBob in the Krusty Krab causing SpongeBob to run out crying while Squidward says to the fish around him, "I was just kidding. Come on, come on, you guys know I was just kidding, right?"

Nass enters the scene and confronts Squidward, saying, "Way to go Squidward. You ruined his favorite fucking holiday for him." Later, he says, "When we kissed that night, I thought there was magic. Now, I wish we never even did it," before walking off-screen. Over eight months, the Reel received roughly 3,600 likes (shown below).

Way to go Squidward. You ruined his favorite fucking holiday for him. And for what? 'Cause he fucking bothered you, at work? I thought you were fucking different. When we kissed that night, I thought there was magic. Now, I wish we never even did it. And I wish we didn't do that other stuff either, even though at the time it felt really right. And I've been thinkin' about it a lot. Now I wish we didn't do it. Jerk.
