About
You Took My Only Food. Now I'm Gonna Starve is a quote from Spongebob Squarepants character Patrick Star. This quote, and the screenshot of Patrick's fattened body, have been used in online memes refering to overdemanding parties.
Origin
On May 5th, 2001, episode 27b of Spongebob Squarepants, Life Of Crime[1], first aired on Nickelodeon. In one scene, after Spongebob and Patrick share two chocolate bars between the two of them, Patrick mindlessly eats his own, and becomes convinced that Spongebob stole it; he accuses him with that line, while the screen moves down to focus on his grotesquely obese belly, further illustrating how clueless Patrick is. The earliest online instance of this scene is a YouTube video clip[2] uploaded back in February 8th, 2011.
Spread
This scene was the source for many memes using the screenshots of Patrick, often combining them to display his full body. Those meme are typically based on object labeling: a label put on Patrick's head identifies the incriminated party, most of the time an entity such as a corporation or a fandom; and one or multiple labels put on his belly identify the many things that the entity possesses or otherwise benefits from, despite claiming to own very little.
