Right on. Nematodes, that's it.
The one I remember was where Spongebob was trying to get into some sort of jellyfishing club. The meeping nematodes were hilarious.
Another one did a little wa-wa-wa when something happened to "Kevin".

Massachusetts High School Principal Threatens to Suspend Students Caught Meeping
MEEP!
Don't know what it means? Don't worry -- most people over the age of 22 don't either.
But the nonsense word -- which apparently started with the 1980s Muppet character Beaker -- is causing a lot of teeth-gnashing for adults at one Massachusetts high school. They have gone so far as to threaten suspension for students caught meeping.
But just what does it mean to "meep?" No one really seems to know -- even those who use it as part of their daily vocabulary.
According to UrbanDictionary.com, meep "can mean whatever you want it to mean."
Yeah, that clears it up.
Bob Thompson, a pop culture professor at Syracuse University, said he first heard students meep about a year ago during a class screening of a television show.
"Something happened and one of them said 'Meep,'" he said. "And then they all started doing it."
The meeps, he said, came from all of the students in the class in rapid-fire succession. When he asked them what that meant, they said it didn't really mean anything.

Nope. Better ask the Porf!
From “The History of Meep” (Google it!)
The theoretical existence of the meep was realised when Archimedes jumped out of his bathtub screaming “Eureka” at everyone and was promptly arrested for public disorder offences.
Inspired by his experiences in the bathtub, he theorised about the weight of sound while being held in jail overnight, .
His theory went along the lines that if a machine capable of producing sound, for instance an eep, was fully immersed in water and then allowed to make that sound (to “make eep”), the amount of water that was displaced would indicate the weight of the sound.
Unfortunately, this was never proven since the theory was written on the cell walls, mistaken for grafitti and lost for centuries.
I guess IQs and senses of humor have dropped sharply since I’ve been away!
That’s meeped up!!
Maybe the principal should have a MEEP minute, hour or day! He would be joining in and that would take all the fun out of it for these teens! They never like to do anything the adults agree with or encourage.....and it is harmless!
GROK!
That was our word. I could not remember it.
Thank you!
Just a trivial observation, but I don’t believe our beloved Beaker actually said “meep”. It was more of just a “meee”.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt8Q7Fsa_Vs
when my son was very young,2 or 3,he sometimes misprounced meat as meep. So at the dinner table he’d ask for more meep. to this day,20 years later we will occasionally ask him if he wants more meep.

Dagnab kids got no respeck...
Right—whatever you say...
;)
Speaking of livestock, while I was in the military, there were occasions when large groups of young troops would be crowding out of a meeting or classroom, and “traffic” would be backed up in the hall. Someone would start off with a “moo”, and soon the entire crowd was at it. It sounded like the sound track to a cattle drive in a cowboy film!
