There's a new Spongebob meme on the internet, and it's perfect for everyone who's exhausted after doing a simple task.

It's called Tired Spongebob, and it shows Mr. Squarepants in the nude, leaning against a coral wall, and out of breath.

The image comes from "Nature Pants," an episode on the first season, where Spongebob gives up the luxuries and headaches of modernity and goes off into nature to live with the jellyfish, naming himself "Jellybob."

It's the same episode that the Evil Patrick meme comes from. In the scene from the meme, Patrick is upset that Spongebob abandoned him and tries to capture him, as if Spongebob were an actual jellyfish. Spongebob just avoided capture for a moment and was catching his breath.

In its meme context, Tired Spongebob is used to demonstrate being worn out after accomplishing one simple task. It always starts with the phrase "me after." According to The Daily Dot, a Philadelphia DJ was the first person to use it on Twitter.

From there, it was everywhere.

It's the third meme from Nickelodeon's "Spongebob Squarepants" to go viral this year, following Evil Patrick and the Chum Bucket vs. Krusty Krab meme. Spongebob memes aren't going away any time soon.
