The "Sad SpongeBob" meme comes from a scene in the *SpongeBob SquarePants* animated series, where the character SpongeBob looks visibly upset or disappointed, often in a downcast pose. The image, originally from the episode "The Splinter" (season 6, 2009), was repurposed online around 2017 to depict feelings of sadness, disappointment, or existential dread. The meme gained traction on platforms like Reddit and Twitter, with users captioning it to express relatable emotions, such as feeling let down or facing life's small misfortunes. The simplicity and universal appeal of the sad expression turned it into a widely recognized symbol of emotional vulnerability.
