# They're Bombs They're Bombs, also known as These Aren't Home Made, They Were Made in a Factory, refers to a season two SpongeBob SquarePants scene where a pirate fish tells Squidward his pie-shaped cargo is actually explosives. TikToker @mrlinguini7 posted a clip of the audio on December 6, 2022, and the sound inspired lip dubs, animations, and green screen edits. By late December, TikToker @kenzkun's lip dub version reached 3.7 million views and spread to Reddit's r/Unexpected. ## Origin On December 6, 2022, TikToker @mrlinguini7 posted a clip from season two, episode 24 of SpongeBob SquarePants, titled 'Dying for Pie,' in which a pirate character identifies his pie-shaped cargo as bombs built at a bomb factory[1]. The episode first aired in 2001, and the exchange with Squidward includes the lines 'these aren't home made, they were made in a factory, a bomb factory, they're bombs'[2]. @mrlinguini7 captioned the upload 'Teacher: you're not allowed to bring food from home,' turning the scene into a punchline about smuggling contraband. The video reached over 1.4 million views within two weeks[5]. - **Platform:** TikTok - **Creator:** @mrlinguini7 (earliest viral TikTok upload) - **Date:** 2022 ## Overview The audio comes from the 2001 SpongeBob SquarePants episode 'Dying for Pie,' where a pirate fish calmly explains to Squidward that the pies he is carrying are actually explosives[2]. On TikTok, creators pair the clip with setups where an everyday object is secretly something else, letting the pirate's deadpan 'they're bombs' line deliver the twist[5]. Two main styles define the They're Bombs template. Lip dub posts have the user mouth the pirate's dialogue in character, and green screen edits place the fish above whatever object the poster is about to reveal[4]. @mrlinguini7's caption, 'Teacher: you're not allowed to bring food from home,' set an early pattern for school and workplace jokes about sneaking something past a rule[1]. ## How to Use Users typically pick a setup where a plain or disguised object is about to be revealed as something else, then layer the SpongeBob audio over the moment of reveal. Lip dubs are common when the poster wants to act out the pirate's dialogue, while green screen edits work when the focus is on showing the actual object[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is They're Bombs?
