What does the “SpongeBob Comparison Charts” meme mean?

The idea is a visual analogy: each cell pairs a SpongeBob still with an element from another universe, and the comparison is funny because it lands. The format sums up a fandom, a game or a series in a handful of pictures. The cartoon helps by offering a face or a situation for almost anything. People use it to tease or celebrate a cast of characters, a fictional world or a community, letting screenshots speak where a long explanation would drag.

Where does the “SpongeBob Comparison Charts” meme come from?

On June 24, 2016, Twitter user @FuckCrunchyroll posted a chart comparing eight manga and anime series to scenes from SpongeBob SquarePants, including Neon Genesis Evangelion and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Within a week it passed 2,300 retweets. The next day a FunnyJunk user reposted it, which led to versions about Attack on Titan, Kill la Kill and Berserk. On June 26, another member compiled ideas from the comments while a Tumblr user made an Overwatch version. On June 28, a compilation appeared on Imgur. More than a hundred variations were circulating by the end of the month. A Twitter account devoted to the format launched on July 1, 2016, the same day Know Your Meme opened its entry. Know Your Meme’s gallery counts more than 450 images for the format.
