The video garnered over 11 million views. That year, YouTuber Zetkero posted a video playing the game DoodleBob and the Magic Pencil, where DoodleBob’s signature sound “me hoy minoy” is prominently featured. It wasn’t until 2013, however, that DoodleBob surfaced as a meme, when people on MemeGenerator began captioning pictures of the character. In the episode, he terrorizes Spongebob, trying to control the magical pencil.ĭoodleBob becomes a recurring antagonist in the series and was subsequently featured in both a Nintendo DS and cellphone game. The character himself is a crudely sketched, black-and-white version of SpongeBob. SpongeBob creates DoodleBob after finding a magical pencil that makes drawings come to life.
DoodleBob made his first appearance in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode “Frankendoodle,” which aired in 2002.
