SpongeBob SquarePants premiered on Nickelodeon in 1999 and Squidward Tentacles became one of its most memed characters because of his dry delivery.

Editors pair it with other SpongeBob reaction sounds like the SpongeBob Fail sting when a joke needs a second punchline. Its popularity comes from that contrast between a familiar cartoon voice and a completely unexpected announcement.
