Relatable cleaning struggle meme format from @scrubdaddy

The creator personifies a Scrub Daddy sponge, first showing it energetically and happily cleaning a plate to upbeat music. The video then abruptly cuts to the sponge cleaning a utensil, with the music shifting to a slow, somber tone to humorously convey the sponge's 'grief' and dislike for cleaning silverware.
