and Spongebob replies "probably not" in a somewhat recent episode. All of that ageing humor from the old episodes basically describes my entire fourth period class. Comments? Only thing I didn't necessarily agree on is the same three plot devices the writers use. While watching the show it physically made me laugh out loud so many times. Spongebob just seemed to be "throw stuff at the wall and see which things stick". I agree with everything except for 2 parts. She appeared less and less, and went form being a major character to a minor character, and now it's a rare treat just for her to appear. It's 4 AM, maybe I should go the fuck to bed. Even anger, Squidward's unofficial trademark, will appear less and less as time goes on. And then came the new writers. When you look at Spongebob you have to divide it into two categories. /*# sourceMappingURL=https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/chunkCSS/IdCard.0f76af1b61e8e247d28f.css.map*/._2JU2WQDzn5pAlpxqChbxr7{height:16px;margin-right:8px;width:16px}._3E45je-29yDjfFqFcLCXyH{margin-top:16px}._13YtS_rCnVZG1ns2xaCalg{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;line-height:18px;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._1m5fPZN4q3vKVg9SgU43u2{margin-top:12px}._17A-IdW3j1_fI_pN-8tMV-{display:inline-block;margin-bottom:8px;margin-right:5px}._5MIPBF8A9vXwwXFumpGqY{border-radius:20px;font-size:12px;font-weight:500;letter-spacing:0;line-height:16px;padding:3px 10px;text-transform:none}._5MIPBF8A9vXwwXFumpGqY:focus{outline:unset} A moron. 3.

Squidward fixing up Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, featuring grotesque close-ups. It looked like, ya know, a cartoon. TheLovePirate gives a passionate rant about Spongebob Squarepants. In one episode featuring Spongebob trying to convince Pearl, Mr. Krabs's daughter to let him stay at a slumber party, he somehow causes an explosion made of root beer. You can tell it's not the same squid we all know and love. We had meta, satirical, dark, and surreal humor among the obvious types the would appeal to kids. Everyone watches spongebob when theyre high. The subreddit about Spongebob Squarepants. Obviously they're doing something right because the show is still going on strong (I assume). React focuses on the user interface portion of a web application only. One of my favorites is when Spongebob and Patrick get enlisted on the Flying Dutchman's ship for the first time. So many episodes were written so well though. Mr. Krabs with a sack of money After: Love of money And finally, we have Sandy Cheeks, one of three female characters and Spongebob's mammalian friend. Hillenburg wanted to end the show after the movie but Nick wanted more episodes so he resigned and now what you see is basically bottom of the barrel episodes that lack the charm of the first original. Spongebob is way more kid oriented now. 5 His face is expressive Because the face of Spongebob is expressive his memes became popular on social networks. Patrick remained himself, minus the offbeat intelligence and magnified a thousand-fold. Sure, occasionally he does show signs of having a personality, and now and again he makes a bad joke, but those moments are so few and far between that they hardly exist. And then came the new writers, and it seems each and every recent episode can be summed up in one of three ways: -Spongebob works at the Krusty Krab -Spongebob and Patrick annoy Squidward -Spongebob and Patrick go jellyfishing. SpongeBob himself is an outlandish character, but he embraces his ways and rocks whatever he does. Later that evening, Gary hosts a party with various snails. Not only that, but it was different types of humor and styles that help made Sponge Bob the show it was in it's first three seasons. It's sad, but the reality is that Nickelodeon/ Viacom is a corporation that will constantly demand a profitable product at continuously cheaper costs. And in one later episode, Mr. Krabs is singing about how much he loves money. And you can just stream them, no need to download. Let's start with the show's titular character, Spongebob Squarepants.

The show, in a way, talks down to the audience; the writers don't seem to even try to fill Spongebob's enormous and, recently, overrated shoes. A Reddit thread on just why this show is so popular even now includes many mentions of the nostalgia factor, of course. Karen, Plankton's computer wife, evolved into a stereotypical nagging housewife. I personally loved the show when I was younger and still to this day watch it every once in awhile. Mr. Krabs obviously cared for the other characters and thought of them as friends, or something like it. He looks through a photo album full of pictures of Pearl’s childhood, and then sings “every sight I’ve ever seen, every sound I’ve heard, I’d gladly give up everything for all the money that I’ve earned!” That’s not the Mr. Krabs of the early seasons. Unlikable. The fact that he walks right past his hurt daughter is played for laughs.

Send them to my ^inbox! (See Why controversy can make things popular?) Another thing about Spongebob that may make it popular for all ages, its simple entertainment. It went from each episode being unique and an entirely new and exiting experience to being mundane and loud noises. Stupid, but intelligent enough to know what's going on. Spongebob Squarepants. There was once a time when almost everybody, child and adult, could unify in watching what was once credited by many as the greatest cartoon of all time. Maybe my nostalgia is in the way... Thing is, I guess all the episodes post-movie weren't meant for us. Spongebob was intelligent yet misguided. Damn, reading this really makes me want to start a Spongebob marathon right now. The show used to be about the writers trying to figure out who the characters truly were through writing them. And the quality of the animation paralleled this. He is a constant drudge on the viewer; not contributing anything. While the series’ current sense of humor (which leans more into gross-out moments and over exaggerated characters) doesn’t appeal to the audience that followed the series in its first seasons, it’s worth noting that the series continues to be aimed at children, and each generation has a different concept of comedy. Instead what we got was, an a way, intelligent writing aimed at both young children and older viewers. The glory days of spongebob have passed unfortunately. Mrs. But as they progressed, the animation kept getting smoother, more detailed, and more realistic; not like a cartoon. And the only two emotions you'll see Squidward using are disinterest and surprise. Mr. Krabs rushes in walks right past his daughter in the stereotypical death face (XP), and mourns the loss of his newspaper collection. And we all know Squidward, the anti-hero of the series. Mr. Krabs does not care for the other characters. I, along with many other former fans, am not laughing. When Spongebob goes to Rock Bottom and is alone in the dark and is too afraid to ask for help comes to mind. ._2a172ppKObqWfRHr8eWBKV{-ms-flex-negative:0;flex-shrink:0;margin-right:8px}._39-woRduNuowN7G4JTW4I8{border-top:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-lineColor);margin-top:12px;padding-top:12px}._3AOoBdXa2QKVKqIEmG7Vkb{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);border-radius:4px;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;margin-top:12px}.vzEDg-tM8ZDpEfJnbaJuU{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);height:14px;width:14px}.r51dfG6q3N-4exmkjHQg_{font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:12px;text-transform:uppercase;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between}._2ygXHcy_x6RG74BMk0UKkN{margin-left:8px}._2BnLYNBALzjH6p_ollJ-RF{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;margin-left:auto}._1-25VxiIsZFVU88qFh-T8p{padding:0}._3BmRwhm18nr4GmDhkoSgtb{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);-ms-flex:0 0 auto;flex:0 0 auto;line-height:16px} The writing is lazy, the jokes constantly fall flat, and, for the love of all this is holy, they forget their own characters' names. There has been dramatic changes over the past few years and all the new episodes with the voice change are so stupid. Because You Learn So Much! Dirty Dan and all that. I could talk all day about the original three seasons. Spongebob is an innocent and happy character. Don't worry Spongebob; we didn't remember her name either. This thread has been linked to from elsewhere on reddit. Her scientific side is pushed to extremes, and right when her destroyed personality begins to wear on the viewer, she is cast into the void and doesn't appear until the planets align again. It’s an incredible source of information on pretty much every field of human knowledge. Spongebob gets great ratings even 14 years after it has debuted, that canceling the show would be suicide. The new episodes just feel like Nick trying to make money. I think I ranted long enough about Spongebob Squarepants for one night. They thought the same thing about Spongebob as we think about Fortnite. Your opinion pretty much mirrors mine 100%. Not just the kid jokes, but the subtle adult jokes just don't seem to be there. Knowing every line in every episode word for word. Cookies help us deliver our Services. Squidward has fewer lines, he makes fewer jokes, and you can't relate to him Whereas before you wanted to give him a hug, now you want to ignore him like he's ignoring us. Both SpongeBob and The Simpson started out as goofy and lovable cartoons but became too zany and Flanderized (lol). .c_dVyWK3BXRxSN3ULLJ_t{border-radius:4px 4px 0 0;height:34px;left:0;position:absolute;right:0;top:0}._1OQL3FCA9BfgI57ghHHgV3{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-pack:start;justify-content:flex-start;margin-top:32px}._1OQL3FCA9BfgI57ghHHgV3 ._33jgwegeMTJ-FJaaHMeOjV{border-radius:9001px;height:32px;width:32px}._1OQL3FCA9BfgI57ghHHgV3 ._1wQQNkVR4qNpQCzA19X4B6{height:16px;margin-left:8px;width:200px}._39IvqNe6cqNVXcMFxFWFxx{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;margin:12px 0}._39IvqNe6cqNVXcMFxFWFxx ._29TSdL_ZMpyzfQ_bfdcBSc{-ms-flex:1;flex:1}._39IvqNe6cqNVXcMFxFWFxx .JEV9fXVlt_7DgH-zLepBH{height:18px;width:50px}._39IvqNe6cqNVXcMFxFWFxx ._3YCOmnWpGeRBW_Psd5WMPR{height:12px;margin-top:4px;width:60px}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN{height:18px;margin-bottom:4px}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN._2E9u5XvlGwlpnzki78vasG{width:230px}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN.fDElwzn43eJToKzSCkejE{width:100%}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN._2kNB7LAYYqYdyS85f8pqfi{width:250px}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN._1XmngqAPKZO_1lDBwcQrR7{width:120px}._3XbVvl-zJDbcDeEdSgxV4_{border-radius:4px;height:32px;margin-top:16px;width:100%}._2hgXdc8jVQaXYAXvnqEyED{animation:_3XkHjK4wMgxtjzC1TvoXrb 1.5s ease infinite;background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--newCommunityTheme-field),var(--newCommunityTheme-inactive),var(--newCommunityTheme-field));background-size:200%}._1KWSZXqSM_BLhBzkPyJFGR{background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetBackgroundColor);border-radius:4px;padding:12px;position:relative;width:auto} Of course, nobody can forget Patrick, Spongebob's hilarious best friend. And this is my own opinion, based off a foggy memory of the Nickelodeon timeline, but Spongebob came out right towards the end or decline of a lot of Nickelodeon classics like Rugrats, Doug, Hey Arnold, Rocket Power, Ah! Most always, the trait/action becomes completely outlandish and it becomes their defining characteristic. 4 and 5 seemed to have just as good of episodes to me.

This would turn out to be a dire mistake. Something we need at times in life simple fun entertainment. It's the type of show that my seven-year-old brother and I can watch together, though I'd be lying if I said I don't sometimes watch it willingly when I'm alone. Back in the golden years, Mr. Krabs personality could be described with three loves: Money, his daughter, and a friendship with the other characters. Where before there was a humorous understanding of his antics, now every fiber of his character is cringe-worthy, and the points in the show meant to be a particularly stupid moment for Spongebob's character will leave you shaking your head and changing the channel. Spongebob and Adventure Time make being a father fun. Or when SpongeBob had a Krabby Patty-making competition with King Neptune: 4. When Spongebob isn't acting like a three-year-old, he's doing something idiotic or making a joke that not even toddlers would find funny. That's why even when good jokes are in latter episodes, they just don't feel quite right. From Mocking Spongebob to Caveman Spongebob, these are the best Spongebob memes, what they mean and why they're so popular. Patrick's moments of genius were not meant to be jokes. For you and MEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Before, when Patrick said anything actually smart, it wasn't played for laughs. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Without the … The jokes were on point, the voice acting was top notch, the characters were not only memorable and hilarious, they were relatable. I agree that the "body horror" stuff got way too brutal, but that part was totally funny. He was a character you couldn't help but like. Why did the main writer leave? At the end of the episode, SpongeBob stays in Bikini Bottom for now, is now the new manager of the Krusty Krab 3, now made friends with Plankton, Squidward is now nice to him, and now entire Bikini Bottom is his friend. and what is your favorite episode? Not by a long shot. If it comes on tv now I only watch the old episodes. Later on at the end of the episode, over the phone, Sheldon states that he changed his mind and would choose to eat SpongeBob. Very nice read. The show, characters, and other SpongeBob stuff. /*# sourceMappingURL=https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/chunkCSS/TopicLinksContainer.361933014be843c79476.css.map*/._2ppRhKEnnVueVHY_G-Ursy{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;margin:22px 0 0;min-height:200px;overflow:hidden;position:relative}._2KLA5wMaJBHg0K2z1q0ci_{margin:0 -7px -8px}._1zdLtEEpuWI_Pnujn1lMF2{bottom:0;position:absolute;right:52px}._3s18OZ_KPHs2Ei416c7Q1l{margin:0 0 22px;position:relative}.LJjFa8EhquYX8xsTnb9n-{filter:grayscale(40%);position:absolute;top:11px}._2Zjw1QfT_iMHH7rfaGsfBs{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;background:linear-gradient(180deg,rgba(0,121,211,.24),rgba(0,121,211,.12));border-radius:50%;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;height:25px;-ms-flex-pack:center;justify-content:center;margin:0 auto;width:25px}._2gaJVJ6_j7vwKV945EABN9{background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);border-radius:50%;height:15px;width:15px;z-index:1} Great show! Recent episodes have featured Squidward's toenail being violently ripped off, Spongebob and Patrick removing their own corneas (with holes in their eyes where they used to be, complete with flesh inside), Squidward accidentally combining every character into a hideous blob of flesh with the character's limbs sticking out and twitching, Squidward fixing up Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, featuring grotesque close-ups, Spongebob getting a splinter that oozes with green puss and swells up to the size of a house, and much, much more. They weren't just a episodes where you felt that like, outside of the main plot points, everything else was filler aimed at little children or whatever the writers assumed would pass for "classic" Sponge Bob material to the older fans. I agree, even though I've seen the older episodes countless times, I still notice jokes that I never noticed as a kid. The episode where Sandy hibernates comes to mind as well. ._3Qx5bBCG_O8wVZee9J-KyJ{border-top:1px solid var(--newRedditTheme-line);margin-top:16px;padding-top:16px}._3Qx5bBCG_O8wVZee9J-KyJ ._2NbKFI9n3wPM76pgfAPEsN{margin:0;padding:0}._3Qx5bBCG_O8wVZee9J-KyJ ._2NbKFI9n3wPM76pgfAPEsN ._2btz68cXFBI3RWcfSNwbmJ{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;line-height:21px;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between;margin:8px 0}._3Qx5bBCG_O8wVZee9J-KyJ ._2NbKFI9n3wPM76pgfAPEsN ._2btz68cXFBI3RWcfSNwbmJ.QgBK4ECuqpeR2umRjYcP2{opacity:.4}._3Qx5bBCG_O8wVZee9J-KyJ ._2NbKFI9n3wPM76pgfAPEsN ._2btz68cXFBI3RWcfSNwbmJ label{font-size:12px;font-weight:500;line-height:16px;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center}._3Qx5bBCG_O8wVZee9J-KyJ ._2NbKFI9n3wPM76pgfAPEsN ._2btz68cXFBI3RWcfSNwbmJ label svg{fill:currentColor;height:20px;margin-right:4px;width:20px}._3Qx5bBCG_O8wVZee9J-KyJ ._4OtOUaGIjjp2cNJMUxme_{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between;padding:0;width:100%}._3Qx5bBCG_O8wVZee9J-KyJ ._4OtOUaGIjjp2cNJMUxme_ svg{display:inline-block;height:12px;width:12px}.isInButtons2020 ._4OtOUaGIjjp2cNJMUxme_{padding:0 12px}.isInButtons2020 ._1ra1vBLrjtHjhYDZ_gOy8F{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:unset;line-height:16px;text-transform:unset}._1ra1vBLrjtHjhYDZ_gOy8F{--textColor:var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetTextColor);--textColorHover:var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetTextColorShaded80);font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:12px;text-transform:uppercase;color:var(--textColor);fill:var(--textColor);opacity:1}._1ra1vBLrjtHjhYDZ_gOy8F._2UlgIO1LIFVpT30ItAtPfb{--textColor:var(--newRedditTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetTextColor);--textColorHover:var(--newRedditTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetTextColorShaded80)}._1ra1vBLrjtHjhYDZ_gOy8F:active,._1ra1vBLrjtHjhYDZ_gOy8F:hover{color:var(--textColorHover);fill:var(--textColorHover)}._1ra1vBLrjtHjhYDZ_gOy8F:disabled,._1ra1vBLrjtHjhYDZ_gOy8F[data-disabled],._1ra1vBLrjtHjhYDZ_gOy8F[disabled]{opacity:.5;cursor:not-allowed} .s5ap8yh1b4ZfwxvHizW3f{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);padding-top:5px}.s5ap8yh1b4ZfwxvHizW3f._19JhaP1slDQqu2XgT3vVS0{color:#ea0027} Instead what I'd bring attention to is that of the writers inability to come up with anything past the plot of an episode. I remember being in my pajamas watching the first ever Spongebob Squarepants episode and instantly knew it was going to be incredible. The writing in that episode was gold for me. This man specializes in the same absurdest humor that got Spongebob popular all those years back: absurd and fast paced. Spongebob is good because when you have to watch a cartoon with a child/neice/anyone young, there are jokes and references all throughout the episode that entertain adults too. Everyone did it, everyone loved it, and things couldn't have been better. Over 18 years later, the internet is still churning out new SpongeBob-inspired memes with reckless abandon.
