About
Squidward’s Suicide is a creepypasta story centered around an unaired episode of the children’s animated TV series Spongebob Squarepants in which the anthropomorphic octopus character supposedly kills himself with a shotgun. Starting in July 2019, a still image of Squidward known as "Red Mist Squidward" became associated with Don't Ask Who Joe Is memes.
Origin
On April 6th, 2010, an anonymous user posted a creepypasta story titled "Squidward’s Suicide" to 7chan's /x/ (paranormal) board.[3] Narrated by the author who claims to have seen the lost episode during his internship at Nickelodeons Studios, the story opens with the show's production team reviewing what was supposed to be the premiere episode for the fourth season, but as the footage progresses, the animators and editors become horrified by gory imageries and ghostly sound effects that weren't authorized to be included.
The Creepypasta
I want to start off by saying if you want an answer at the end, prepare to be disappointed. There just isn't one. I was an intern at Nickelodeon Studios for a year in 2005 for my degree in animation. It wasn't paid of course, most internships aren't, but it did have some perks beyond education. To adults it might not seem like a big one, but most kids at the time would shit themselves over it.Spread

Author's Response
On February 8th, 2013, Redditor SuicideSquidward identified himself as the author of the creepypasta in a r/self[3] post titled "I wrote Squidward's Suicide and am kinda happy with how much it spread." In the post, the Redditor explained:
"I don't know why but it feels nice to see something you created spread and get brought up years later when people discuss things that scare them, because it is something that has stuck with them after reading it despite it being a copypasta.
I had just read Suicide Mouse and Dead Bart earlier that night, had nothing to do, and decided to try my hand at a "lost episode" show. What people read is the hastey final draft I wrote on a whim. I had no idea it would ever go beyond the 7chan /x/ board, figured at best it would get a small amount of attention then never be spoken of again."
On October 31st, 2013, Geek[9] included the creepypasta story in a list titled "The 4 scariest, most believable stories on the internet."
As of October 31st, 2014, the story's Facebook[2] fan page has gained over 2,000 likes.

Between 2019 and 2020, this came back from the grave, it became a meme called Don't Ask Who Joe Is
Don't Ask Who Joe Is refers to a series of memes made with a goal to lure viewers into inquiring who Joe is, with the author or other commenters then following with "Joe Mama" or similar humorous responses.
