This meme uses a classic SpongeBob SquarePants scene to satirize user frustration with Microsoft's mandatory Copilot integrations. SpongeBob is tied up with ropes, crying and looking panicked, labeled 'Users' to represent general Windows/Microsoft product users.

This meme makes fun of the ironic flaw of Microsoft's Windows 11 Copilot feature. The top section displays a news headline from Windows Latest that states Copilot can now identify what is slowing down a user's PC, while the feature itself consumes 1 full GB of RAM. Below the headline is a black and white photo of director Martin Scorsese holding both hands up in a dismissive, exasperated shrug, paired with large bold text at the bottom that reads "ABSOLUTE MICROSLOP". The humor comes from pointing out the absurdity of a tool built to fix slow performance being the direct cause of the performance issue it is meant to resolve.
