# Doodlebob DoodleBob is the crude pencil-sketch antagonist from the 2002 SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'Frankendoodle,' who shouts nothing but a garbled 'me hoy minoy.' Fans turned him into a meme starting in February 2013 with image macros on memegenerator, then YouTube edits and Twitter joke aggregators pushed his gibberish scream across the internet through 2016. ## Overview DoodleBob is a scribbled little antagonist from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'Frankendoodle,' first aired in 2002[3]. He is drawn as a rough pencil sketch of SpongeBob with jagged edges and hollow eyes, and the only sound he makes is a distorted screech that sounds roughly like 'me hoy minoy.' That gibberish and the deliberately ugly art style are what gave the character a second life on the internet years later. Online, DoodleBob works as shorthand for feral chaos filtered through Nickelodeon nostalgia. Urban Dictionary entries treat him as an ironic saint, calling him 'our lord and savior' and mock-quoting his screams as 'MMYEMOMMYOMYE'[2]. Edit videos, image macros, and Twitter jokes lean on the same beat: DoodleBob showing up to yell something incomprehensible and derail whatever came before him. ## How It Spread Momentum picked up on April 3, 2013 when YouTube user Zetto Keero uploaded a playthrough of 'DoodleBob and the Magic Pencil,' a fan-made game by TechnoSuperguy; that single video pulled past 9 million views by mid-2016[1]. Around the same window, edits pairing DoodleBob with rap tracks and shock-cut sound effects kept his 'me hoy minoy' scream in rotation across YouTube. Twitter took over from there. On October 29, 2014, user @kylethecindric wrote a joke in the 'When [rapper] said' template aimed at DoodleBob's shouting, and joke aggregator accounts including @FillWerrell and @Rappersaid copied it out to a much bigger audience[3]. In March 2016, @GRIFFERS mashed the catchphrase into an Avril Lavigne lyric with 'he was a skater boy / he said me hoy minoy,' which got the same aggregator treatment from @chanelpuke and @FillWerrell. On June 13, 2016, meme accounts on Twitter started sharing a photo of two Chicago cross streets, Hoyne and LeMoyne, captioned 'When Doodlebob starts naming streets.' Instagram users tagged riffs on the 'breath in, boi' template with #doodlebob, and Urban Dictionary entries labeling him 'sexiest man alive' kept the joke going as an ironic in-group reference[2]. ## How to Use Common uses include splicing DoodleBob's 'me hoy minoy' scream into edit videos as a random punchline, dropping his image into 'When [X] said' Twitter jokes about garbled speech, or captioning any messy handwriting, chaotic scribble, or unhinged outburst with a DoodleBob reference. The joke typically works on the contrast between the crude pencil drawing and whatever cleaner thing he is crashing into. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Doodlebob?
