Where the Put It Somewhere Else Patrick meme comes from
A screenshot from SpongeBob SquarePants, the Nickelodeon animated series that premiered in 1999, is the source of this image. The specific frame of Patrick moving boxes around became a template on Reddit and Twitter in the mid-2010s, used to humorously represent emotional avoidance or the illusion of productivity.
How to caption the Put It Somewhere Else Patrick meme
Label the boxes with the problem or feeling being shuffled around, and the locations being moved to with equally bad destinations, to show that nothing is actually being solved.

Best uses for the Put It Somewhere Else Patrick template
Use the Put It Somewhere Else Patrick template when the joke fits a movie and TV format and the image can explain the feeling before the reader finishes the caption. It is strongest for recognizable scenes, character reactions, and pop-culture punchlines.
This blank is 343 x 604 px and is a still image, so place the most important words where they stay readable after a feed crop. The tall frame gives you room for a short setup near the top and a payoff below the main subject.
The sample captions leave room for a setup and a punchline without turning into a paragraph. Before exporting, read the caption once without looking at the image; if it still needs a long explanation, switch to a simpler setup or a more obvious related template.
Caption patterns to try
| Pattern | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Box: anxiety about work / Destination: anxiety about other work | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Box: the pile of clothes on the chair / Destination: the pile of clothes on the other chair | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| Box: the tab I'll definitely read later / Destination: the 200 other tabs I'll read later | This is a useful direction when you want the punchline to feel personal or self-aware. |
Common mistakes with this blank
- Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Put It Somewhere Else Patrick image do part of the work.
- Placing text over the most expressive part of the image, especially faces, gestures, signs, or the main action.
- Using three different ideas in one meme. This template works better when it points at one clear situation.
- Exporting before checking the meme at phone size. If the smallest words blur together, shorten the caption first.
