    Never having watched SpongeBob, I hear Popeye laughing and think that’s the joke. Am I right?

      The laugh is a play on nucleobases of DNA; adenine (A), cytosine ©, guanine (G), and thymine (T, not featured in the meme.)

        I actually saw a minute or two of SpongeBob and was surprised/annoyed they didn’t seem to be moving underwater.

        I think I expected the show to be more sophisticated in a useless way.

          Heh, there actually is space between the surface and ocean floor where the show does act like they are underwater, but yeah it’s a silly cartoon that often doesn’t subscribe to rules of reality.

            I do love that it’s set in Bikini Bottom.

            We nuked the hell out of the Bikini Islands for nuclear tests.

            SpongeBob and his friends are all mutants.
