The image captures being excluded while everyone else enjoys themselves. The gap between the wild energy of SpongeBob and Patrick outdoors and Squidward’s gloomy face behind the glass makes the situation instantly recognizable. People post it for envy, regret or resignation: seeing friends out partying while you work, or watching others play a game you cannot afford. It also works as a labeling template, with each character assigned a different role.
Where does the “Squidward Looking Out the Window” meme come from?
The image comes from the SpongeBob episode “That Sinking Feeling”, first aired on 8 July 2010, which shows Squidward watching SpongeBob and Patrick through his window. According to Know Your Meme, its first use as a reaction image dates to 8 December 2013 on Tumblr, where the post passed 204,000 notes. It then reached Twitter with captions about juniors watching graduating seniors. In 2017, versions labeled with console brands and a post about envy toward Super Mario Odyssey players revived it.
