About
“Tumbleweed Keanu Reeves” is a meme that made its big debut in “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.” Keanu Reeves, a wildly talented actor, is relegated to the role of a tumbleweed.
The clip from the trailer shows SpongeBob and Patrick hiding behind a tumbleweed that randomly comes to life in the form of Keanu Reeves. After introducing themselves, Patrick makes a classic Patrick remark that demonstrates how dense he is. “I’m pretty sure it doesn’t,” said Reeves in response to Patrick’s foolish thought.
