Ugly Barnacle

The Ugly Barnacle is the titular main protagonist of the in-universe story of the same name in SpongeBob SquarePants, told by Patrick in order to cheer SpongeBob up at the idea of being ugly.
==What Makes Him an Ensemble Dark Horse?==
*The character, and the story he originates from, is only ever brought up once in a single episode Something Smells, despite this, he is one of the most popular in-universe characters in the series.
*The story that he originates from is one of the most well-known jokes of the entire series, thanks to how anti-climatic and utterly unhelpful it is to SpongeBob, needing to be cheered up when he came to believe his ugliness was driving people away.
*Another part of the humor also seems to come from how the barnacle was supposedly so ugly, he actually managed to kill others, the entire world even, with his ugliness.
*The scene had become a popular subject of memes, especially YouTube Poops.
==Trivia==
*The joke had become so well-known that a book titled "The Ugly Barnacle" makes an appearance in an episode of the Patrick Show, "I Smell a Pat".
