Description[]
Moar Krabs, also known as Morbid Krabs, is a YouTube Poop meme created by YouTube user Kortez3000. It originally appeared in the SpongeBob episode "Jellyfish Hunter", aired September 28, 2001, when Mr. Krabs was saying "more." He is known for having a hyper-detailed and horrific appearance. It soon became an internet meme with YouTube Poops and exploitables. The song Gentle Breeze from the Nintendo DS game Trauma Center is often paired with video parodies of the scene, while others have made numerous photoshops of the drawing itself.
There was a similar meme, called "Oh Yeah Mr Krabs!," which was a video of Mr. Krabs with a kid screaming.
History[]
At first, the transmogrified image appears to be SpongeBob-like fanart. However, it actually comes from the Season 2 SpongeBob episode "Jellyfish Hunter", which aired on September 28, 2001.[1] This image appears for less than a second during a montage in which SpongeBob catches Jellyfish for Mr. Krabs, who constantly demands "more."
The first instance of Moar Krabs on YouTube has since been removed. The oldest version still on YouTube was posted on December 5, 2008, titled "MOAR KRABS RETURNS."[2] It has since accumulated over 135,000 views, but had mostly negative response with more than 250 dislikes and only a little more than 100 likes.

Other videos posted in the following months were better received, with the most popular Moar Krabs video on YouTube sticking to the original format being posted in February 19, 2009 titled "MOAR KRABS!!!" It has received over 245,000 since its upload.[3] The most popular video to come out was "WHAT IS MOAR KRABS V3". It contained a remix of What is Love set to a video of high-definition images of characters Krabs, Spongebob, and Squidward, in the same style as the original Morbid Krabs image. The video has since accumulated over a million views. However, the video was currently unavailable due to termination of its associated account.[4]
