# Spengbab Spengbab, also known as Spengbob, Sprengebrob and Splenborg, is grotesquely deformed fan art of SpongeBob SquarePants that surfaced online in late 2006. The character became a recurring fixture in YouTube Poop videos and creepypasta lore, growing into one of the earliest sustained SpongeBob shitpost archetypes. ## Origin The exact origin of Spengbab is not documented, but the earliest known trail begins in late 2006. In November 2006, YouTube user russxl uploaded a video titled 'spongebab' that stitched together many deformed SpongeBobs; the clip was still online with more than 350,000 views by March 2016[1][3]. About a month later, in December 2006, DeviantArt user LusoSkav posted a piece of grotesque SpongeBob fan art that carried the earliest recorded use of the word 'Spengbab' itself[3]. A parallel origin story credits 4chan's /b/ board with popularizing the character, and an archived Wikipedia list of 4chan memes says the term first appeared in a YouTube video before spreading through /b/[3]. Because the drawings passed through anonymous imageboards, no single artist can be confirmed as the meme's creator. - **Platform:** DeviantArt / YouTube (early appearances), 4chan /b/ (popularization) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2006 ## Overview Spengbab, also spelled Spengbob, Sprengebrob or Splenborg, is a catch-all name for horribly warped drawings of SpongeBob SquarePants[3]. The art style favors lumpy proportions, dead or bulging eyes, off-model teeth and colors that look drained or rotten, and the character is usually paired with unsettling audio in video form. Urban Dictionary contributors described Spengbab as SpongeBob turned 'incredibly creepy and twisted,' with soundtracks pulling from Azumanga Daioh, German number stations and the German SpongeBob theme[2]. The format lives mostly in YouTube Poop edits and standalone shock animations, where the deformed SpongeBob is looped, screamed at or forced through nonsense dialogue[3]. Fan artists on DeviantArt and Tumblr later fed the same visual language, and an Encyclopedia Dramatica entry recast Spengbab as a creepypasta figure with an invented backstory[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Spengbab?
