SpongeBob SquarePants - 20th anniversary

[-Apples-]

Today is the 20th anniversary of the most popular kids cartoon - SpongeBob SquarePants. I hope SpongeBob (the character) is having a fun time.

Oh happy day.

Although I didn't watch much of the show in its later years, I still hold it dear to my cold heart. Also, I still make Spongebob references in my daily life amongst friends and my partner (no ragrets in doing so either). (,:

Spongebob was my childhood, and I still watch it to this day.

I can’t wait to watch the new special coming soon, as well as the next Spongebob movie.

Very sad that the creator, Stephen Hillenburg, isn't with us anymore. :/
I'm sure he's proud that Spongebob got that far and that the show is still beloved by so many
people around the world.

Spongebob is part of my childhood and I'm a big fan of the show, although to be honest I don't
know every episode, as I didn't watch any of the new episodes so far. But I still enjoy watching
the show.

So yeah, Happy 20th anniversary, you silly sponge!

Oh my god, this makes me feel old! I was out of high school when Spongebob first aired. But I still watched quite a bit of it, so Happy 20th Anniversary, Spongebob!

Well, now I feel old. I remember watching the first episode as it premiered on Nickelodeon. How time flies.

Are they still making new Spongebobs? I feel like I was a lot older when this show first came out, not just 11.

20 years?!?! Man, how many times does time fool us? Regardless, it’s great that they’re still standing but I personally preferred that they stopped at the show’s peak performance. But my oh my, did I have a ginormous passion for this show as a kid! I had many different merchandises from that show. Blankets, pillow cases, a phone, plug-in play arcade games, books, a hat, a stuffed toy, a DVD player, a couple of games from the Gameboy, stickers, Spongebob themed candy, a ball, and the list goes on. In the end, I’m glad this show made a positive impact to many people, whether it’s from memes or memories growing up.

Wow, 20 years!!.
I remember watching it when it first came on.

Still can't believe they're making episodes.

 

[nintendofan85]

That's longer than I've been on this earth (granted, just by nine months)!
I do feel like the show went downhill over time, though. Just my opinion.

help wanted's probably one of my favorite cartoon pilots ever tbh

happy 20th, spongebob. strange to know it's been that long since I was first introduced to this quirky guy

I still love SpongeBob. It's so sad that Stephen Hillenburg wasn't able to see this day (well, yesterday) come.
