The "Blue Collar SpongeBob" meme is one of TikTok's latest viral trends, combining AI-generated images of SpongeBob SquarePants as a gritty blue-collar worker with an outlaw-country style track called the "Blue Collar Anthem." The song was first posted by TikToker @redriverredneck1993 in January 2025 with the line, "My collar's blue but my neck is red, I been working like a dog just to keep my family fed."
