Someone Put a Gele on This Popular Patrick Meme and African Twitter Went Crazy with the Jokes

We can't reach the end of the week without providing you with some laughs.

For some reason, characters from the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants have become evergreen memes that young adults, who grew up watching the show, use on the internet for various purposes. The latest, is this one of Patrick—or Savage Patrick.

Despite our tears from laughter reading these triggering jokes, we realized how much our shared experiences truly connect us more than we think.
