Plankton comes from SpongeBob SquarePants, the long-running animated series where the tiny owner of the Chum Bucket constantly schemes to steal the Krabby Patty formula. Clips of his dramatic voice have circulated for years in edits and on meme soundboards, because his serious villain delivery works for almost any petty frustration. This anti-meme rant gained traction as a reaction sound as meme culture itself became the joke, letting creators use Plankton's outrage to mock overused formats while still joining in on them.
