i love spongebob

I like Spongebob Squarepants. It's a show I can watch without getting bored, and it's funny. I also enjoyed the movie.

I find it to be annoying, especially the laugh!
The reason why is, my nephew started to copy the laugh, so I been trying to get him off of it. * watch Animaniacs instead *

It's an attempt to identify with things outside of oneself, just like what NTs need to do. Is that really so bad?

Anyway, back on topic, I still enjoy some Spongebob episodes, my favorites being Band Geeks and Karate Island. However, I'm not real interested in the show anymore. Pity, since it was a special interest for a while...

I hate these type of statements. It's pretty much an insult to the possibilities of the human imagination.

What, so you need to be on drugs to pitch a cartoon?

First of all, your avatar is epic.

Second of all, most certainly not, but sometimes people are. The Beatles had a Yellow Submarine video that was so obviously made by a junkie.

SpongeBob has parodied The Beatles a few times in the series. One example is an episode where the characters start their own band. The episode's name? - Krabby Road

Is that the episode where Plankton gets them to start the band but uses it to attempt to steal the Krabby Patty formula, or is it one I haven't seen yet?

Yeah, that's the episode.

love the show, watch it whenever its on. it's the only good thing nickelodeon has left. but avatar the last airbender is so much better

It has some really gross moments, some very irritating episodes (every time SB and Patrick torment Squidward for no good reason... like Tom and Jerry, the jerk has to provoke the punishment or it's just hard to watch) and I think it's outstayed its welcome. That said, I still have favorite moments and episodes. I have three kids, so you can imagine that would wear it out for me, but I do like two earlier episodes especially, art related ones (since that's my thing). The one with the evil doodle is the best.

They don't mean to torment Squidward, they're just too dim-witted to know that Squidward doesn't like them, as they consider Squidward as a friend.

And yet knowing this does nothing to stop me wanting to scream. I guess I just don't find that amusing. I've never really been able to laugh at that plot device, and it's been well used in tv shows... The "one person drives another crazy because they have no clue how annoying they are" premise. It's ironic, or hypocritical, of me, since I've always tended to be the annoy-er more than the annoy-ee. But I'm sure that's also why the sight of it gives me no joy or amusement.

They also employ something which has always been extra frustrating for me to see, one person telling another something, and the other person completely not getting the message.

But it's not to say that they never make it funny, but that often, and they've fallen back on this a lot more recently, they just turn it into an endless stream of irritating, infuriating scenes of oblivious torment and torture with no real reason except that they just happened to decide to bother him.

But some of the times it has worked, there's always been something more going on... Squidward being nice to Spongebob because he thought he was going to blow up, Squidward joining them camping in the yard because he imagined a slight to his ego after which he was mauled by a creature that shouldn't exist, Spongebob and Squidward trying to deliver a pizza and ending up being able to drive there on a rock. I guess, looking at those, it gets funnier when it's not so typical.

I can't believe I just typed that much about Spongebob Squarepants.
