SpongeBob SquarePants is the long-running Nickelodeon cartoon that premiered in 1999, and this deadpan refusal comes from its famously expressive main character. Short SpongeBob voice clips became a staple of meme edits and reaction videos in the 2010s, when creators began lifting single lines for ironic punchlines. This particular line thrives in laziness memes and relatable comedy sketches, sitting comfortably next to other SpongeBob staples such as the spongebob sad song and the my leg fish scream.
