Squidward Looking Out the Window Meme Template

This frame comes from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "That's No Lady" (Season 4, Episode 7). In the scene, Squidward Tentacles stands in the dark of his house, looking through his blinds with a depressed, hollow expression as he watches SpongeBob and Patrick frolicking happily outside. In meme culture, it is the definitive visual for FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), being "the outsider" looking in, watching others enjoy a trend you hate, or being stuck working while everyone else is having fun.

• Squidward (Foreground): In shadow, facing away from the camera, representing The Dev on call, The Fact-Checker, The Introvert, or The Bitter Expert.
• The Blinds: Representing The Barrier between duty and fun, or The Screen through which we watch others' lives.
• SpongeBob & Patrick (Outside): Brightly lit, running and laughing, representing The Lucky Ones, The Unfazed AI Users, The Vacationers, or The Cluelessly Happy.
