The Wormy Close-Up is an ULTRA-infamous scene from the non-infamous SpongeBob episode Season 2 Wormy.
Why Looking At The Close-Up Is Not What Friends Do[]
People call it ScumBob because of its disturbing nature, which gave many children nightmares.
Also, the insect in this close-up is a horsefly, which is odd considering that Wormy is supposed to be a butterfly.
Why It Is What Friends Do[]
The scene can be funny to some people, mainly if you know what to expect. The scene itself is from Bill Nye The Science Guy which may make it less creepier considering (consider the following...) if you know where it's from.
