Meme lore
What is the SpongeBob Paying vs. Broke meme?
SpongeBob Paying vs. Broke is a two-still money contrast. Left is the cartoon grin pulling a brown wallet; right is a grimy 3D fry cook with a cigarette and spatula. Used for what you'll spend on versus what you'll skip. Blank white sits above both stills for the labels.
Origin & history
Left: SpongeBob SquarePants, “Neptune's Spatula,” 2000-04-01. Right: 3D fry-cook still (Yan Blanco, per later credits), not a TV frame. Imgflip template 345019124.
