Is nine minutes the length of a Spongebob episode? There's two episodes in each 30 minute block, including commercials. I had to wonder because there's no better way to get me completely uninterested in doing something else than to drag me out of an ongoing story to do it.
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe.

Wait...
...I just noticed. :/

Sonovabitch, I see it too. Anyway, I'm confident most half-hour animated series are comprised of two eleven-minute shorts.

Spongebob damages kids brains.

There is no surprise to this statement.

So without knowing what episodes they showed...we can't conclude anything.

It doesn't lead to ADHD. Doing worse on concentration tasks temporarily immediately after a task =/= ADHD. ADHD is pervasive, throughout life.
I hate it when people screw around with the definition of the disorder like this. It just adds to all the confusion that leads to over-diagnosis and underestimation of the seriousness of the problems that those with it have. "I'm a little ADHD right now." No, you're not - no more than you're "a little epileptic right now" because you jerked a little as you were going to bed.
Spongebob can't give anyone ADHD. Think of it as closer to a sugar rush, but even that analogy's off.

Regarding the commercials issue: even if these nine minutes were commercial free, there's going to be obvious points where there was a commercial break (assuming Spongebob works like most cartoons, or other TV shows). Food for thought.
