Ever wondered how spongebob got so famous? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants4 months ago

Well if you're wondering how spongebob and his out of this world, moron and predictable to be unpredictable gang got so famous, I was wondering the same thing. I know some of you might think that I'm too old to be watching cartoons. Well, I don't really care. hehe Though I got no time to watch any shows lately since I got so busy earning online, trying to make ends meet if you know what I mean. Luckily for me to have found out about this site where you could earn some extra cash while you're having quite a good time.
Anyway, among the characters in spongebob squarepants show, I happen to really fall in love with patrick. haha Yes, the pink little dummy, know-it-all but doesn't really know anything star that spongebob go to for advice (which I wouldn't prefer of doing if he happens to be a real person), caught my heart. He's just so stupid that makes his character really funny. Well that's the point of the whole show in the first place, to be funny. All characters are just perfect. I guess it doesn't matter what age bracket you're in. Everybody wants a good laugh and everybody indeed needs it once in a while.

Hi there, well i dont really know spongebob maybe i was late in whats happening in this world hehhe, anyway i just know spongebob because of my nephews and now that i have my own daughter she really like watching cartoons. But spongebon is not her favorite but i am happy because she know about Patrick she was less than 2 years old and when we were in the mall she told me "mama rick" she can't say the name but i am glad eventhough she doesnt watch it more often because she was addicted to dora and barney still she know who is Patrick, well goodluck to you here and keep on mylotting thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

Hi mona, well, to be honest you really are not late. I just happen to be a bit of a retard that by this age, I still keep myself tuned in to cartoons. Don't really know what's wrong with me. hahaha I wouldn't even be surprise if my 4-month-old daughter gets to mature first before me.
It's funny though, how your daughter seem to be fond of patrick. Well, at least, your daughter and I have something in common. We might even be best of friends since I'm guessing I'll still be butting in with the "kids world" for another ten years more. hihi


myLot reputation of 97/100. kmaram (1717)  4 months ago

Hi there, well i dont have anything to say about your discussion but i am glad that your doing good in the site and i love your discussions although its really long heheh, well keep it up and dont forget to keep on mylotting thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

hahaha Is it really that obvious how I keep on writing such long post. Well, I do that to increase my earnings, of course still trying to give quality to it as much as I could. And another reason, is for people to find more things to discuss about what I've posted. Good thing mylot allows retards like me to just say whatever I like. lol And to be honest, I'm really really enjoying my stay here. It's really worth it, I can't thank you enough for recommending this site to me. Somehow it has become my outlet since I barely go out nowadays. But I sure hope that you won't get tired of reading my long posts hehe, cause there's a lot more to come. Well,if you do get tired of it, you could always try to pretend you didn't see my post. hahahaha

I know how Spongebob became so famous! It's because he's awesome.
The comedy, even though it's for little kids, will be suitable for adults. It's silly, yes, but it still makes us laugh. Now that I think about it, younger kids probably wouldn't even understand half the jokes they make there.
Living underwater spawned more idiotic jokes for them; there will never be a land version of Spongebob Squarepants.

So I guess it makes sense that the yellow sponge and his friends would become so popular with the world.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

Got a point there, merlin. I'm starting to think that the spongebob show was originally intended for adults. You know, like the simpsons hehe. Come to think of it, the majority of people who watches that show aren't kids at all. Cause lots of my friends do watch the show and totally loves it, considering most of them are at my age.
All the characters in the show have great contributions as laughter is concern. The greedy mr. crabs, the lazy squidward, the moron patrick and a lot more. I guess people find it funny cause they could relate with it somehow since all characters created showcases a specific negative habbit of real people. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. kmaram (1717)  4 months ago

Hehhe, well i love to read it but when its too long i go to the climax hahah, keep on mylotting thumbup

I personally think that Spongebob has always been a really entertaining show that I've always thought has been pretty funny and pretty random as well. I would definitely say that Spongebob is one of the better cartoons out there.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

I wouldn't be posting this one about the show if I disagree with you. hehe I guess a lot of people really appreciate the whole concept of it. And couldn't help but find themselves addicted to the show. I got tons of favorite episodes of it, one in particular was when patrick got a visit from his parents. I just kept laughing from start to finish. Don't know whose your favorite among the gang though. keep mylotting=)

Hi ya angryeve

Well I think you have answered the question already really. It is really funny. Now what I want to know is why the bloomin' Teletubbies are so darn popular. I am sure they stopped making the show quite a few years ago now but it is still televised and the kids still love it. Same as Barny I guess!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

Hi humbug, I guess that's the reason why many got so addicted to the show. It's funny you brought the teletubbies on, cause I never really liked the show and really clueless how it became so popular. hahaha. I don't even like barney either, but the kids really love the singing part on the show, I sometimes sing the, "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family", but I still don't like barney. hahaha I guess I might be writing something about that.=)


myLot reputation of 98/100. Humbug25 (4101)  4 months ago

I don't know many people who do like the teletubbies or Barney especially parents and that's me included!! thumbdown


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

Well I guess that only confirms that I'm still normal. lol So I guess adults can't really give any answer with how these guys made it to the ratings. And what is more mind boggling is that, what were the creators of these characters were thinking when they actually made it. Maybe they were stoned or something... haha

Spongebob and Patrick are a piece of work, combine that with Squidward and his reactions to their antics... you've just gotta watch! Cartoons should be for just little boys and girls, they should be all for ages because really, even the ones made for preschoolers are fun to watch and participate in! lol! You've got an excuse to be watching cartoons, I haven't, and here I am (and my fiance) watching cartoons whenever we can! Mr. Krabs reminds us of a friend of ours who is very stingy with his money, times when Mr. Krabs says "Hey My name is Eugene Krabs and I like money!" is just hilarious, and the reactions that those who hear him, don't even have! It's like they don't care. Oh and Plankton, sometimes their rivals sometimes their best buds, it keeps ya guessing!


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

Hi somecowgirl, now that was really funny. Yah, you could really relate mr krabs to a lot of people since there really is a lot of greedy ones out there. And to think that you and your fiance watch it together, haha, that just makes me feel a lot normal now. Cause before I'm actually having doubts if I'm getting old backwards. I could even remember my dad often complains about me still watching cartoons. He often tells me that at my age I should take interest on current events more rather than keeping track of the best cartoons around. Well, obviously I don't listen to him. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8076)   ranked 1 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

Glad to make you feel better about that! We all have a little kid in us, our inner child... so why not let him or her come out and play? I believe there's a saying like that. There is too much greed in this world, and as for current affairs... I don't pay too much attention to that, a lot of it is rather depressing. It's good to know, but not something that's necessarily easy to watch. Cartoons keeps the kid in us, ya know? Current Affairs makes us grow up too fast!


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

I agree, I mean we do need, of course, to keep ourselves updated with what's going on. But it's mostly bad news so I have no intention on starting my day and ending it with all the troubles. Besides it really is depressing especially in our country with politicians don't know how to do anything but be greedy.=(


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8076)   ranked 1 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

It's always good to keep ourselves updated, but not to the extent that it ruins our day, I totally agree! There is too much greed in this world, here in The USA as well, and it's sad to see the effects it's had on all. We (the usa) in some ways don't know the value of money anymore. Here I am still gabbing away with you and I know you've got to get to work. Getafreelancer (the site I saw on your profile), I've tried before... seems like a very good way to make some money.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 months ago

I literally had to force myself to log out last night, lol. I can't believe it took me a few minutes to do so. And just a while ago, I was having trouble on my internet connection, I guess it's because of the heavy rain. Anyway, it's really sad what's happening around us. And I'm not expecting it to get any better any time soon. I'm even starting to think that maybe the end of the world is near. Well I hope not, I just got started here on mylot. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (8076)   ranked 1 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  3 months ago

I used to have to force myself to get off the computer for whatever reason. I used to be addicted to the internet. There are a lot of bad things going on in the world, but I know we can all change that in little ways, and make it just a little bit better. It's hard to do, but it can be done. I hope your still enjoying it here, sorry I haven't been around to respond to you very often, but I am trying! I've got goals here on this site right now, and in my inbox. I hope to get it cleared out, etc.

I saw a few new spongebob's the other day!


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  2 months ago

Haha same here, but I'm really trying to organize my time right now for me to be able to hang in here more often. I really miss mylot, and I miss my friends here even more. Sometimes I'm just too tired with work that I had to rest already without dropping by.=(

Hello angryeve. For me, this little fella got his name by their stupidity and unpredictable character such as patrick. That stupid starfish really is an idiot.Haha.Can't even imagine how spongebob would be without him. Or patrick should be the main star in this cartoon.haha.JK.But for your information, in my country, they subbed it with malay and when it comes to patrick's part, I often laugh because they really trying to sound like patrick but in Malay. So, it sound really funny.Maybe their tone and the flat that sound like soooo blur and stupid person that's make it more funnier than spongebob.Even my lecturer also like this cartoon and make his caller ring tone with the spongebob's theme song.I can't believe even the oldies also like this fella.So maybe that is how spongebob got so famous in my country.:p


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  3 months ago

Hi rashi, wow so they translate it in your language, too? Cause they also do that here in my country and a friend of mine here in mylot who resides in Netherlands experience the same. I guess they are doing that to every country to make sure that the little kids could easily understand the show. Although I still like the original version, cause I guess I got used to it already, I must agree that it's really funny for dubbers to be able to mimic the original voices of the characters. And they are very successful of doing that.

And about patrick being the star of the show... I totally AGREE! lol

7. myLot reputation of 83/100. fezman (146)   3 months ago

i'm right with ya darl, i love this show and actually hire it for me rather than the kids even though they love it to, i find it extreamly relaxing,funny as hell aas they have alot of humorous things for adults that kids wouldnt get (ie. in one of his movies, patrick is dressed in drag! made me laugh so hard!) and plainly its just something you can do whilist trying to veg out.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  3 months ago

Hi fezman, I think every scene of patrick is funny even if he's doing anything. lol He really is my favorite among the characters on the show. I would totally watch it if patrick gets his own show. haha

And I agree there really are a lot of jokes in the show which is intended for their adult viewers alone.lol They finally figured out that most of their audience aren't kids, I guess.=)

8. myLot reputation of 86/100. starsailover (941)   3 months ago

I love Patrick too he's not dum. I think about him like a little kid, he's innocent and funny. I else love his voice, and the way he talks so slowly and calm.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  3 months ago

Hi starsailover, sorry for the late reply. I wasn't able to visit mylot for a while.=(

Anyway, whatever reason you have for loving patrick, I would still agree even if its contradicting to my real reasons, hehe. Simply because he's really really funny and that his character is just so lovable except on episodes where he's trying to cheat on spongebob, partly out of dumbness really.lol

Lovable or not I still love patrick.. I think I'm partly adopting his stupidity.. I'm not even sure if I'm making any sense anymore..LOL

9. myLot reputation of 75/100. vamp6x6x6x (593)   3 months ago

It is simple because of the humor of his character, because he is a sponge that lives underwater, he wears square pants, his best friend is a starfish, and his home is a giant pineapple.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  3 months ago

Hi vamp, I feel like I haven't been here in mylot for years.hehe Sorry for the late reply by the way. Regarding the spongebob topic, I agree, they are simply funny. That's why a lot of adults still like watching the show..no matter how weird that would seem.hehe


myLot reputation of 75/100. vamp6x6x6x (593)  3 months ago

Yea,as you can tell I know a lot about the show I have seen about every episode lol. My favorite one is where Squaidward ate all those Krabby Patties. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  2 months ago

Haha I saw that episode, the funny thing about that is that he doesn't want spongebob to know how he liked it, out of pride as usual.. Therefore went to all that trouble when he could just have asked for one for free. Hope I was talking about the same episode..

Anyway, one of my favorite episodes there was when Patrick had a visit from his parents. I just kept laughing from start to finish.. Hope you saw that one too.=)


myLot reputation of 75/100. vamp6x6x6x (593)  2 months ago

Yes you are talking about the right episode:)

And about the episode you are talking about with his parents I cracked up laughing expecially at the end when those weren't even his parents lol.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  2 months ago

Hahahah exactly.. which only proves how dumb patrick really is and even the fake parents.lol And I almost felt sorry for spongebob on that episode even if my favorite is really patrick. That makes me realize how patrick could be so mean sometimes..hehe By the way, its nice to know you're online right now. I just found an extra time since I don't have work today. Though I don't think I should be happy about it..lol


myLot reputation of 75/100. vamp6x6x6x (593)  2 months ago

Yea, well i guess in the end Patrick needs Spongebob more then Spongebob needs Patrick, then again Patrick is Spongebobs only friend.

Well, anyway Im ok with u being off today because you never get to get on and talk.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  2 months ago

Hahaha I think they need each other since there's no one else who could actually understand and have patience with their ridiculous hobbies.. Though I can't really think of one example right now.. But they do have a lot of really really ridiculous and hilarious activities together..lol


myLot reputation of 75/100. vamp6x6x6x (593)  2 months ago

lol yep I agree. at times I even felt bad for Squidward for having to put up with them both living next to him on each side, and also in the magic cons shell episode


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  2 months ago

I don't think I've seen that episode.. But true, no matter how annoying squidward's character sometimes could be, most of the time he's actually the victim..lol Especially when he tries to have a quite time then suddenly the two morons pop out and just try to annoy him all the way. lol

But there was an episode where spongebob adopted squidward just because he doesn't want to work for Mr. Krabbs anymore and then he just felt so at home to the point where he is already treating spongebob as his personal maid..lol That was just funny, cause spongebob was so stupid or maybe just too kind to actually let that go on..


myLot reputation of 75/100. vamp6x6x6x (593)  2 months ago

lol, I remember that episode. Now I wanna watch spongebob again lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  2 months ago

Haha.. I kinda miss watching spongebob as well, too bad I just don't have the time anymore.=(


myLot reputation of 75/100. vamp6x6x6x (593)  2 months ago

And I dont have cable anymore. and sorry to hear you dont have much time lately.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  2 months ago

Huhuhu too bad for both of us I guess..=(


myLot reputation of 75/100. vamp6x6x6x (593)  2 months ago

Yea to bad, but may our memories of spongebob live on.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  2 months ago

Hahaha that's the spirit..lol I can't believe how much we give value to that show, its almost unbelievable as grown ups I mean.. lol


myLot reputation of 75/100. vamp6x6x6x (593)  2 months ago

lol...I think we are giving more value to spongebob them many kids do even.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  2 months ago

Hahaha true, since I even think there are jokes there where only adults understands.. I'm starting to think it was meant for grown ups rather than kids.

Hah. Well, good question, because I've been wondering the same as well. How the heck did a yellow sponge wearing pants that lives under the sea steal the hearts of many? I don't know, really. I'm not much of a fan of new cartoons. I like the old stuff. I enjoy my slice of taz, bart simpson, elmo (not a cartoon but I thought I'd throw that in there), loony toons, etc. We all need a good laugh so I guess to each his own.


myLot reputation of 97/100. angryeve (189)   ranked 8 out of 191 in spongebob squarepants  4 weeks ago

I think anything that has no barney face on it is a good show...hahahhaha By the way, I did grew up watching the simpsons. Definitely, one of my favorites!=)


myLot reputation of 94/100. rg0205 (1714)  4 weeks ago

LOL anything but barney.

Did you know that sesame street just turned 40?!? Well, they sure as hell don't have the wrinkles to show it LOL. Elmo is still as cute as ever. I actually want an elmo stuffed toy for Christmas haha.
