# Savage Patrick Savage Patrick is a reaction image of Patrick Star mid-cackle, ripped from a 1999 SpongeBob SquarePants episode and remixed in February 2018 into one of the year's biggest edgy-caption formats. What started as a single Twitter post exploded across Reddit within days and became the go-to image macro for petty revenge jokes. ## Origin The still comes from the Season 1 SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'Nature Pants,' which first aired on September 11, 1999, with the frame appearing around the 7:10 mark[8]. Nickelodeon created the source material; no individual fan is confirmed as the person who first cropped it into meme form. The image began circulating as a meme in late February 2018. One of the earliest known posts using it came from Twitter user @bvercetti_ on February 26, 2018, which pulled in over 4,600 retweets and 18,000 likes[1]. Later the same day, Twitter user @2xfly posted the inverse setup pairing happy Patrick with Savage Patrick, gaining more than 2,700 retweets[3]. - **Platform:** SpongeBob SquarePants (source) / Twitter (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2018 ## Overview Savage Patrick, also called Evil Patrick or Angry Patrick, is a cropped still of Patrick Star hunched forward with a wide, sinister grin, mid-chuckle. The image reads as pure petty malice, which is exactly why 2018 Twitter grabbed it as a reaction to stories about small acts of revenge, spite, or cruel satisfaction[1]. The format typically pairs the image with a two-part caption: a setup describing a slight or minor grievance, and a punchline describing a wildly disproportionate retaliation. Users also flipped the joke by pairing it with the innocent, smiling Patrick from earlier in the same scene to show a shift from friendly to unhinged[3]. Dorkly noted at the time that the meme leaned harder into edgy and dark territory than most SpongeBob reaction images before it[6]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Savage Patrick?
