One of my favorite memes is the Spongebob "ight imma head out" meme. The meme is used whenever someone feels like they are in an awkward or uncomfortable position and uses the meme's phrase to leave. The meme was based off of the 2018 twitter post talking about boys smoking weed. The tweet explained how guys like to consume large amounts of marijuana and sit quietly in a room together until the finally leave saying "alright bro I'm boutta head out". The tweet gained about 26,000 retweets within 6 months. A few months after that, another twitter user used a screenshot of Spongebob about to sit on a chair and captioned it "might imma head out". The screenshot and the caption made it seem like Spongebob was about to stand up rather than sit down and therefor many users began implementing their own scenarios. After gaining some fame in twitter, the meme then transitioned into instagram and gained thousands of likes. One of the most famous versions of the meme is the one with the caption "when El Chapo gets bored in prison" referring to the infamous Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman.
