SpongeBob mocking text generator

Type or paste the text and copy the result. Caps picks the pattern. aLtErNaTiNg starts lowercase and switches on every letter, AlTeRnAtInG starts with a capital, and rAndOM picks each letter's case at random, which is how the meme is usually typed by hand.

Spaces, digits and punctuation are left alone and don't count, so the pattern carries on across words. Random mode never puts more than two capitals or two small letters in a row, since a long run reads as an accident rather than sarcasm. It also gives the same result for the same text, so the caps don't jump about while you type.

The Mocking SpongeBob meme took off in May 2017. It pairs a still of SpongeBob with someone's words repeated back in alternating caps. The case changes make the words impossible to read in a sincere voice, and the joke is that the original sounded just as silly.

The style is older than the meme. It's also called studly caps, and the Jargon File, the old dictionary of hacker slang, calls its origin obscure. In the 1980s and 1990s it was a fixture of bulletin boards and of the text files that came with pirated software, where it signalled an elite attitude. The meme turned the same look into sarcasm, and that's the meaning it has now.

The case converter has a strict alternating option too, along with title case and the rest. For a different kind of noise, leetspeak swaps letters for digits and zalgo text piles marks on top of them.
