Sheldon J. Plankton is the tiny green villain of SpongeBob SquarePants, the Nickelodeon animated series that premiered in 1999 and is voiced by Mr. Lawrence. His dramatic reactions have become a staple of meme culture because the voice is instantly recognizable and always sounds more intense than the situation requires. Short Plankton exclamations circulate widely on soundboards and in edit communities, reused whenever a creator needs cartoon shock, and this oh my goodness line follows that same pattern of quick, shareable reaction audio.
