I hereby declare war on Spongebob Squarepants.

Argh... Spongebob. I can NOT see what could make people want to watch this show. I know a 14 or 15 year old girl who got almost all Spongebob Squarepants merchandise for Christmas. Even slippers... it's just a dumb, dumb show with no point. I don't even have words for how mindless it is. That is all.

 

it sure is awesome buddy.

spongebob reminds me of the powerpuff girls. they where cool when they first came out but when you started to see them on folders and other types of mechendise you begin to think where they crossed the line.

 

The 'little square' as you call him is the icon of the gay community, don't mess with gays, they're very pissy.

 

"byob_kenobi: you mean pick on someone like you?"

It sounds like you're just here to pick fights with people. Is that correct?



"I don't like him, because he is immature.

I don't like him because he does not seem what would be my defination of heterosexual."

Ah yes, hating gays. Now there's a real mature attitude. Keep it up, little boy. I'm sure you'll get real far in life.


P.S.: You should probably pay closer attention in English class.

 

I hate Spongebob with a passion. I went to a birthday party about 2 years ago, and we were all jumping on this guy's trampoline killing ourselves and such, it was fun. Then it came time to watch Spongebob and they all just flood back into the house to watch it, leaving me stranded there. All I heard was "Come on Brandon, we're going to watch Spongebob Squarepants, the best show ever!"



I just kept jumping.

Snick is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than "TeeNick"

 

Today's Special, Pinwheel, and almost all the old Nick gameshows were also cool.

 

pinwheel was awesome, don't forget dave coulier's Cut It Out.

sorry, its not cut it out, its out of control. cut it out was his catch phraze along with the hand movements.

 

But it's the best show to watch whilst high...

 

I used to like Spongebob, but I cant seem to bring myself to watch it anymore.



Invader Zim was cool as heck. That show cracked me up. Pete and Pete was really good too.

 

The Only Show I have watched on Nick in a long time is Invader Zim. That Series Cracks me up, especially with Gir.

However, I hate Sponge Bob with a passions thats undiscribable, He Truely diserves to be pulled of the Air for all of eternity.

 

To me Spongebob is the next Teletubbies, and I hated that show almost as much as I do Spongebob. I think its fine for little 2 year old kids who gurgle incoherently and squeal at the top of their lungs to enjoy it, but its sick when people in the double digits are watching this show. I dont understand the appeal of it all. For example, I enjoyed Sesame Street when I was little. But I grew up, became more mature, and left it back with my babyhood. What is the enjoyment that you find with it?

By the way, just as a question, why is it that the homosexual community idolizes him so much? I understand that quite blatantly obviously he is gay, but do the homosexuals simply find joy in finding a homosexual on TV, or do they find joy in a homosexual with appealing plot or what? I just dont understand why.

And by the way, if you will examine the title of this thread, this is NOT, repeat, NOT a Spongebob appreciation thread. Some of us are trying to understand why it is likable, or settle some of the questions in our mind. We dont want to hear your renditions of the show's songs, your favorite episodes or your favorite characters. That is not evidence. So please, stop, think, and formulate real opinions...





EDIT: And by the way, to say he is the icon of the gay community is a general statement. Some gays may find him as a good representation of themselves, but I know plenty of homosexuals who feel that he is offensive, unnecesarry and a terrible representation of their community.

 

I don't like him, because he is immature.

Yes but would an 8 year old or a teenage girl think that? Thats who the show is targeted at, even though some adults are into it (strangely).

 

Spongebob is gay?!

 

yes, yes he is.

 

Spongebob's cool. Not as cool as these guys were, though.

I don't like him, because he is immature.

He's a cartoon character, a sort of adult/child hybrid - a childlike personality, but he's living and working on his own. This combination will appeal to children very much because because most kids want to grow up and live on their own and escape their parents, but they can't. They can relate to the immature persona, but he's cool because he's got his own place and a job. Adults can relate to it because it's funny as hell, and we like to relive our childhoods and escape from the reality of being an adult, even if just for a little bit. Adults relate to him because he is living and working on his own like an adult, but he has retained his child-like innocence. That sense of innocence and wonder is something that many adults wish they could recapture from their childhood, to look at the world with new eyes unencumbered by the bad humor that "maturity" brings to so many people.



I don't like him because he does not seem what would be my defination of heterosexual.

I'll totally ignore the bigotry in that statement, and the obvious sexual insecurity of the person who posted it and address the issue of Spongebob's sexuality.

Someone pointed out earlier that sponges are asexual, and that would seem to fit Spongebob. Obviously he isn't totally asexual, the sea creatures in the show have all been anthropomorphized to the point that they display typicly human gender characteristics. Spongebob is identified as male and he even escorts Mr. Crab's daughter to the prom, but he lacks many of the stereotypical male behaviors. He isn't muscular, he has a high pitched voice, he doesn't appear to be constantly thinking about sex. He appears to be a pre-pubescent male despite living on his own and having a job, and as such sex just isn't an issue. This pre-sexual nature nicely matches his "immature" personality and the target demographic of the show.

Anyway, he's a cartoon character on a kid's show. I doubt he gets much nookie. The only cartoon characters that are gettin' any are some of those anime babes with the big jugs.

 

i used to hate him... and somtimes i still do, but i must admit, he's grown on me a little.

 

I can't believe someone said Invader Zim is a bad show!!!!

 

Spongebob is a cool dude.

 

When I say he is immature, I'm saying for anyone 10 or above, he should be considered immature.

If younger kids, maybe 5-9 like it, that's ok. But I don't see how anyone my age could.

 

Well how old are you?

 

14. And tons of people at school like it.

 

I'm with you on this one! I can't stand Sponge Bob, not to mention Patrick *rolls eyes*. Sheesh....

Then again I'm 25 and still watch cartoons, maybe it's just over my head
