No, This Is Patrick

About

"No, This is Patrick" is a memorable quote by the character Patrick from the animated television series Spongebob Squarepants which is often used in remix videos on YouTube.

Origin

In Season 2 Episode 23 of Spongebob Squarepants, originally aired on November 16th, 2000, the character Patrick mistakenly asserts "No, this is Patrick" when asked "Is this the Krusty Krab?" after being hired at the Krusty Krab restaurant (shown below)

On November 4th, 2006, a thread was submitted to 4chan's /b/ (random) board asking "Is this /b/?" to which another user replied with a screen captured image of Patrick from the Spongebob Squarepants episodes saying "No, this is Patrick" (shown below).
