SpongeBob SquarePants

Honestly I figure kids would like the dumbed-down humor.

You don't know how wrong you are in some cases...

Okay, gimme some examples.

You know you have been watching too much Inu Yasha and listening to songs from Sponge Bob too much when you think you can remake "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve" with Sango and Miroku in the place of Spongebob and Patrick.

Why would I have that idea? look at this trope.

Except Spongebob isn't the tsundere you would need for one of those.

I know, I'm just going by Rule of Funny.

There is one thing I absolutely hate about Sponge Bob.

THE FUCKING THEME SONG.

Why? It's so catchy it rots your brain, the singing is shit-tasticly awful, and that fucking long high note at the end MAKES ME WANNA RIP THE TV IN HALF!!! Made worse in the 1st movie, where the last line is OPERATIC. Guess what I hate so much? That makes it so I will destroy my house down to shreads until everything is obilviated.

Phew! Glad I got that out of my chest. Now. Let the reportings and my warnings commence.

I'm doubting if should be reported, it's not really rude to anyone else.

Though I enjoy the theme song. Though my favorite song is "Best Day Ever".

Does anyone here think that SpongeBob was never good? Like, even the first three seasons were crap and overrated and I don't see why people like them so much?^P.S. Just kidding; I love it, but I want to know if negativity towards the show has progressed to that point

No, pre-movie Sponge Bob is still good regardless of the bad episodes in the post-movie era. It's not like Family Guy which I now think is "meh" pre-cancellation and So Bad, It's Horrible post-cancellation.

Nah, Spongebob hasn't reached Sonic levels just yet.

Low blow, man. Unless you're referencing "X".

I just heard a weird humor about the show ending. Is this.... True?

Well, there hasn't really been any new episodes since "Sponge Bob, You're Fired", right?

They still haven't aired an episode yet in the states. It did air in other countries.

Plus they still have that musical coming out. And Hillenberg is in a higher rank of working on the show.

@62: I'm referencing those reviewers that tried to play the "maybe Sonic was never good to begin with?" after Lost World and Boom came out.

I dunno about that, my opinion would probably be more "Maybe it was never GREAT to begin with", so then it's less clear whether they can't recapture the glory days or they never set that high a bar for themselves to clear in the first place.

Has this thread already died? That's surprising.

Anyway, the two new episodes "Lost in Bikini Bottom" and "Tutor Sauce" just premiered recently. They're the first episodes in a while that were produced by Stephen Hillenberg himself. And overall, I find them better than episodes from seasons 7 and 8, but not as good as the pre-movie ones.

I also found "Tutor Sauce" intriguing. In the episode, Mr. Krabs gives some money to his daughter Pearl for shopping and seems only mildly annoyed at the thousands of dollars of damage Spongebob did to the Krusty Krab. It was so out-of-character that I felt Stephen was trying to reverse the negative image Mr. Krabs had obtained as a stingy, unlikable character.

I'm starting to think the show is about to improve itself significantly. Just my thought.

I don't think I want to have to keep mentioning this, but Stephen Hillenburg has been involved with the production to the extent that he approved every episode.

In any case, though, Bob Camp storyboarded the most recent episode of Sponge Bob. It's nice to know one of the great minds that helped make Nicktoons what they were is still working in animation - and I believe this is the first time he's storyboarded a show since Cow And Chicken!

They don't even know how to Spin Dash...

I'm very sure Stephen had a much larger role in these episodes than before. At least that's what I've heard.

Also, his "approval" probably didn't mean much. He expressed his regrets over the episode "One Coarse Meal" despite allowing it to air. Frankly, barely anyone liked the idea of Plankton being driven to suicide.

Except all the evidence of that is Internet hearsay. We don't actually know if he didn't like the episode because we have no evidence he ever said so.

I believe it's the work of people who are trying to claim that the episode is bad by saying the creator is on their side. They've done the same with Craig Bartlett and "Arnold Betrays Iggy."

and If they happen to be fans of Mr. Enter and his ilk... They definitely aren't worth giving the time of day. At all, TBH. Trust me, at least this once, anyway.

Though Isn't "One Coarse Meal" generally considered bad by a lot of people, not just Enter fans?

Certainly. I've seen the vitriol for that episode way back when I was on TV.Com . Their were a lot of folks their who hated that episode. And ignoring that their were still a lot of people who don't like that episode.

Pinning the blame on Enter is unfair because he's not the one who got people to hate the episode. He's just being used as a scapegoat.
