I feel like the pink arms and hands are a reference I'm not getting

[–] adj16 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If I’m remembering correctly, the pink arms are because SpongeBob wants to be a body builder and buys stick-on muscly arms that (unsurprisingly) don’t give him the ability to lift heavy things. He tries anyway and they deflate to these sad pink things.

But this meme is related to the lyrics of the song Nine in the Afternoon by Panic! At the Disco (your eyes are the size of the moon)

Spongebob unraveled the entire universe in seconds. The only reason his inflated arms couldn't lift things is because the episode was funnier that way.

Not that I know of, I think it's just that his eyes are big

Your internet search engine of choice would be a great help

I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just trying to help you get the joke without spoiling it for anyone

[–] Nurse_Robot 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I got the joke, I thought it might be deeper than the obvious. Eyes the size of the moon is apparent, but the discolored arms were just part of the scene and had nothing to do with the context of the joke / reference.

Your suggestion was just rude.

I'm genuinely confused as to how my comment was rude
