Glorb (also known as GlorbWorldwide) is a pseudonymous YouTuber and TikToker who specializes in rap music using AI-generated voices of characters from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants.[2][3][4]
Career
[edit]Glorb is pseudonymous. In an interview with Moist Cr1TiKaL, Glorb claimed to have been leaving small hints in their music about their identity.[5]
Glorb began uploading to YouTube and TikTok in June 2023, and their first song, "The Formula" (stylized in all caps), was released on June 4.[6][better source needed] The animated music video for "The Bottom 2", was uploaded on December 6, 2023, and quickly went viral, having garnered over 19 million views on YouTube as of January 2025.[7]
Themes
[edit]Glorb produces their songs using AI technology, replicating the voices of characters from the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. The songs and their associated music videos form an overarching story arc parodying the longtime rivalry between Mr. Krabs and Plankton in the series, portraying both characters as rap artists amidst the backdrop of a gang war, releasing multiple disses towards each other. Except for Karen, the major characters are portrayed as using stage names.[citation needed]
