The clip comes from SpongeBob SquarePants, the Nickelodeon animated series that premiered in 1999, where Patrick Star is SpongeBob's best friend and neighbour in Bikini Bottom. Short voice clips of SpongeBob shouting have circulated for years on soundboards and in edits, becoming a familiar scream meme because his voice is so recognisable even without video. Fans reuse this particular yell in Portuguese and English-speaking meme communities alike, often paired with reaction images, gameplay fails and edits where calling for Patrick becomes the joke itself.
