Push It Somewhere Else Patrick Meme Template

Patrick has a solution: pick up the problem and put it somewhere else. Use the two panels for a plan that sounds decisive while accomplishing almost nothing.

The first gesture introduces what needs moving. The second presents the destination with complete confidence, as though moving the problem will solve it.

This works for procrastination, passing a chore to someone else, or renaming something instead of fixing it. The confident explanation is the joke; Patrick does not need to realize how little his plan achieves.

The two frames come from “Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm,” a SpongeBob SquarePants episode first aired on October 12, 2001. Faced with an Alaskan Bull Worm, Patrick suggests relocating Bikini Bottom. [2] [1]

Captioned versions were circulating through Meme Generator and Tumblr in 2010. They replaced the town with other things that could supposedly be fixed by moving them. [2]

Write the thing to move in the first panel and the proposed destination in the second. The lower portion of each frame leaves Patrick’s face visible.

Start with a familiar task, such as a pile of laundry or an overdue list. Choose a destination that hides the task, delays it, or gives it a new name.

What to move

The problem in the first panel.

Where to put it

The questionable solution in the second panel.

• Keep the two captions parts of the same suggestion.
• Make the second line reveal why the plan is unhelpful.
• Use short phrases so both gestures remain visible.
