Bob Esponja is the Brazilian Portuguese name for SpongeBob SquarePants, the Nickelodeon cartoon that premiered in 1999 and became a staple voice for parodies in Brazil. Xandao is the popular nickname for Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes, whose stern public image is frequently turned into memes online. Clips mixing the cartoon voice with that persona spread through Brazilian social media, TikTok and WhatsApp groups as shareable audios, where the humour comes from placing a familiar childhood character inside adult, overly serious situations that everyone recognises from daily news and group chats.
