There’s almost a Seinfeld-like outrageousness to many episodes, which is best exemplified by “Nasty Patty.” Much like the maniac in Hall Monitor or the robot in Imitation Krabs, SpongeBob likes to play around with false identities, and the misunderstanding that arises in “Nasty Patty” is also incredibly rich.
One reason SpongeBob is so good is that many of its storylines would still be funny in live-action form. Production for that season was halted to work on the show’s 2004 partially-live-action film The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie-a box office smash which still holds up-but unfortunately, once Season 4 got underway, the episodes just don’t pack the same amount of laughs (or style of said laughs), which may be due to the show’s creator, Stephen Hillenburg, stepping down as showrunner. Yet when binge-watching season after season, the drop-off in quality after Season 3 becomes glaringly apparent. It’s obvious that the show has aged impeccably. It’s like an art installation of live memes. Rewatching SpongeBob for the first time in years is a surreal experience. The buddy comedy of SpongeBob and Patrick always ends in hysterical hijinks, the workplace dynamics at the Krusty Krab are painfully relatable and the annoying neighbor plots that result in Squidward nearly having a stroke may be the show’s funniest punchline. Between its occasional adult-themed innuendo, ridiculous facial expressions, endlessly quotable lines and incredible comedic timing, SpongeBob isn’t just one of the funniest cartoons of all time-it’s one of the funniest shows, period. Its lasting legacy is due in part to its humor, whose appeal reaches far beyond kids who are bored on a Saturday morning. Practically every week, there’s a popular new SpongeBob meme, and the show itself is still grabbing headlines-most recently due to speculation that SpongeBob is gay. Since its late ’90s premiere, it’s gone on to Broadway, the big screen and video games, and the show has become god-tier television for millennials, Gen Z-or maybe they just embrace the memes, but still-and even rappers.
Krabs and various background fish are funny enough without their context, but it’s pretty clear that SpongeBob has unanimously become the most beloved cartoon of its era.
