It’s that time of year again when we face a new year ahead of us.

Parents on NYE

We Are All Squidward
Here’s an excellent Squidward meme that takes actually dialogue spoken by the character from the show to make its point. Squidward has always been so real about life.
Try Again Later
“Please come again. When I’m not working,” this Squidward meme says. Do you ever wish you could say this to some of your clients? We imagine we have all been in this sort of mood at one point or another.
Smoosh!
“When you drop your smartphone on your face,” this Squidward meme is captioned. For those of us that read on our phones before bed, we all know that special kind of pain that occurs when you drop your phone on your face. Ouch!
Just Fine
“When everything’s going wrong but [I] act like nothing’s wrong,” this Squidward meme says above an image of our pal that looks like he has rocks embedded into his face. We all put on a brave face occasionally even in that means feeling completely chaotic on the inside.
The Morph
We find a SpongeBob and Squidward meme that finds the pair combined into one character. “When you spend so much time with your friend that you start morphing into the same person,” the caption says.
It’s All Their Fault
“Me driving to work cursing my [parents] for birthing me into a world of responsibilities I didn’t ask for,” this Squidward meme says above an image of the character looking rather unhappy in a seashell car.
Never Hurts to Look
You know you always have to double-check to make sure nothing better has been added to the menu, okay? Will you actually order that better something if you ever see it? It’s not likely and that’s fine. This Squidward meme about the weird mundane things we do is brilliant.
Mornings Suck
Mornings can be tough, especially when you’re a parent. In this SpongeBob meme, we get an assist from Squidward’s face. Hitting that snooze button is something we all do these days, right? If you’re not a morning person, this could be a radically relatable meme for you. We do not judge no matter how many times you hit that snooze button.
How Else Do You Treat Your Pals?
We love our dogs so much. We love them to the point that we dress them up in cute outfits and wear strange things wrapped around their necks. So, this Squidward meme about babying our dogs even when they don’t want it feels pretty appropriate. Our fur babies are just so sweet that we want them to feel the love and that’s okay.

Social Media Is Not the Best
Is Squidward having a “feeling cute, might delete later” moment? This Squidward meme imagines that. Social media can be a fickle pickle so don’t let it get you down, folks. Just enjoy funny memes on your preferred platform instead. You won’t regret it! Never let yourself feel like a sad Squidward. Those are words to live by.
As One Does
One really must purchase Girl Scout cookies at every available opportunity. We did not make the rules. They just are what they are. This hilarious Squidward meme finds our friend in bed thinking of his last five bucks and how it will inevitably fall into the hands of a Girl Scout in his near future. You can’t stop the unstoppable folks, so let go of that fiver.
Just Keep Scrubbing
The last few years have proven to be a wild ride. We won’t go into specifics because we’d hate to make you think of anything except how good these SpongeBob memes are, but most of us feel a bit frayed at the edges and that is just how it goes now. If you’ve ever found yourself stress-cleaning as a way to escape from your own thoughts, this remarkable meme should feel pretty relatable to you. It sure did for us.
Tell It Like It Is
“And what could be better than serving up smiles?” SpongeBob asks in this Squidward meme. “Being dead, or anything else,” Squidward replies. If you’re not automatically all smiles, we imagine you can relate to this very funny meme.
FOMO
“When you introduce your new friend to your old friend and they started hanging out without you,” this Squidward meme says. This template is one of the most popular among Squidward memes because it perfectly captures how we feel that fear of missing out.
For Real
Who does not love free? In the above Squidward meme, we find the character putting out a chair for the free trial and then picking it right back up when asked for credit card details. Squidward clearly knows that is how they get you.
Sad But True
“When [you are about] to sleep and hear a noise downstairs but you don’t gotta pay student loans if [you’re] murdered,” this darkly funny Squidward meme says. For those of us with student debt that feels like we will never be able to pay off, this meme feels pretty darn relatable.
Yikes
Here’s another popular Squidward meme template that finds the character looking rather sheepish on a bench. “Me: Hits bug on the wall seeing it fall down,” the caption says. “Also me not finding the bug on the ground.” Who else is so terrified of bugs that this one makes sense?
Why Are We Like This?
A Krabby Patty stands in as a visual metaphor for a shower in this Squidward meme. For whatever reason, the thought of taking a shower is always much worse than actually taking the shower. We do not know why that is a rule but it totally is.
No Shame
“Me shamelessly starting my day at 3:45 PM,” this Squidward meme says above an image of our pal slyly leaving his bed. If you are a late riser, don’t let anyone shame you, folks.
Noooo!
“When [you] find out [your] phone wasn’t charging overnight,” the caption of this Squidward meme says. We have all been there! It’s a terrible realization to come to and it could potentially wreck your whole morning. Not fun!
Two Faces
“Hearing a great joke but you don’t like the person who told it,” the above Squidward meme is captioned. In the foreground, we find an unenthusiastic Squidward but behind him, we find his inner being laughing. Do you do this?
It’s Hard Out There
“When you’re under 12 layers of stress and anxiety but you’re still trying to maintain the appearance of functionality,” this Squidward meme says. It’s rough out there! Take care of your mental health if you are having issues coping with stress and anxiety.
We All Grow
“Being a child is when you enjoy Squidward’s misery,” this Squidward meme’s caption says. “Being an adult is feeling his pain.” This certainly rings true for us. We did not know that SpongeBob SquarePants was actually predicting our future.
Just Not Right
“When you get out of work after they played Christmas music your whole shift,” the caption of this meme reads. This Squidward meme is for anyone who works in the service industry as you all know the horror and pain Christmas causes.

The Difference
Why does food from the oven taste infinitely better than it does from the microwave? This Squidward meme perfectly captures the difference with a brilliant visual metaphor.
