# Mr Krabs Overdoses On Ketamine Mr Krabs Overdoses On Ketamine is a cursed image and caption format built around SpongeBob character Eugene Krabs having a fictional ketamine addiction. It started with a February 2019 tweet and later spawned a playable Itch.io platformer in November 2020 that streamers turned into a speedrunning fad. ## Overview Mr Krabs Overdoses On Ketamine is a captioned image format in which Eugene Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants is depicted with a wildly exaggerated ketamine habit, occasionally swapped for other drugs[1]. The posts almost always open with a version of the line 'ahoy SpongeBob I've overdosed on ketamine and I'm going to die,' paired with an intentionally ugly or stitched-together crab image meant to look cursed[1][5]. The joke sits next to earlier SpongeBob-adjacent bits like Yoda's Ketamine Addiction and SpongeBoy Me Bob, and it treats the wholesome Bikini Bottom cast as vessels for edgelord shock humor[5]. Its second life came from a free Itch.io platformer that turned the caption into an actual playable game about Krabs scrambling to feed his addiction[2]. ## How It Spread Through 2019 the caption jumped to Reddit, with a variation posted to r/im14andthisisdeep on July 17th, 2019 by user lil_uzi_horz picking up 307 upvotes[5]. A stronger hit landed on r/me_irl on May 3rd, 2020, when Bstokes4102 cleared 11,600 upvotes in six months[6]. By then the 'ahoy SpongeBob' opener was a recognizable Reddit copypasta attached to any sufficiently deranged Krabs edit. The biggest jolt came on November 1st, 2020, when game designer ThrillDaWill dropped a free platformer titled Mr. Krabs Overdoses On Ketamine on Itch.io, pitched as a game where you 'fight tooth and nail in order to make ends meet for your crippling ketamine addiction'[2]. The same day, the launch trailer went up on ThrillDaWill's YouTube channel and pulled roughly 2.9 million views, 200,000 likes and 7,500 comments inside about a month[3]. Streamers grabbed it almost immediately. On December 6th, 2020, Charlie 'penguinz0' White posted a speedrun of the game that hit around 1.2 million views and 96,000 likes in three days[4]. Three days later, the channel Lessons in Meme Culture published an explainer on why the speedruns had blown up, clearing about 89,600 views and 8,900 likes in under 24 hours[7]. The speedrun angle kept the meme in rotation well past its original 2019 cursed-image phase. ## How to Use The template typically starts a caption with 'ahoy SpongeBob I've overdosed on [drug] and I'm going to die,' with ketamine as the default drug swap[1]. The attached image is usually a Mr Krabs edit that leans cursed: heavy filters, distorted proportions, stitched-together photos, or physical crab-object mashups like the original TV-in-a-crab tweet[1]. Some newer variants skip the image entirely and just quote the caption over a screengrab from the ThrillDaWill game[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Mr Krabs Overdoses On Ketamine?
