Currently on its ninth season, the series revolves around its titular character, SpongeBob SquarePants, and his many misadventures in the underwater town of Bikini Bottom. With all kinds of entertaining and humorous moments and scenes, the show has produced several [memes](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/memes).\n\n## History\nStephen Hillenburg conceived *SpongeBob SquarePants* in 1984, while he was teaching and studying marine biology at what is now the Orange County Ocean Institute. He became interested in animation, writing a comic book entitled *The Intertidal Zone* that featured various [anthropomorphic](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/cultures\/anthropomorphism) forms of sea creatures, many of which would evolve into *SpongeBob SquarePants* characters.\n\n[![The original sketch of the main characters, drawn by Stephen Hillenburg in 1997. At the time, SpongeBob's name was actually \"SpongeBoy,\" and Mr. Krabs and Pearl's last name was \"Crabs.\" A few of the characters hadn't been created yet.

It premiered on May 1, 1999 with the episodes \"Help Wanted\", \"Reef Blower\", and \"Tea at the Treedome\".[\\[1\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn1)\n\n## Reception\nThe show's first season was only a modest success, but the show eventually received worldwide popularity during its second season.[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn2) The theatrical film *[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/the-spongebob-squarepants-movie)* was released in November 2004 to positive reviews, with box office revenues totaling \\$140,161,792.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn3) The show has also found appeal with older audiences, even gaining airtime on MTV[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn4) and Spike TV.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn5) [IGN](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/sites\/ign) ranked *SpongeBob SquarePants* 15th on its list of the Top 100 Animated Series.[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn6) *Entertainment Weekly* ranked the show 4th on their list of the 25 Greatest Animated TV Series.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn7) *SpongeBob SquarePants* has won several awards, including 7 Golden Reel Awards, 5 Annie Awards and an Emmy Award.[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn8)\n\n[![ACTION squarepaNts ONLU IN THEATRES NOVEMBER 200 Sponge BobMovie.com](https:\/\/i.kym-cdn.com\/photos\/images\/newsfeed\/000\/435\/632\/903.jpg)](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/photos\/435632-spongebob-squarepants) [![2-G0 HERO.

Currently on its ninth season, the series revolves around its titular character, SpongeBob SquarePants, and his many misadventures in the underwater town of Bikini Bottom. With all kinds of entertaining and humorous moments and scenes, the show has produced several [memes](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/memes).\n\n## History\nStephen Hillenburg conceived *SpongeBob SquarePants* in 1984, while he was teaching and studying marine biology at what is now the Orange County Ocean Institute. He became interested in animation, writing a comic book entitled *The Intertidal Zone* that featured various [anthropomorphic](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/cultures\/anthropomorphism) forms of sea creatures, many of which would evolve into *SpongeBob SquarePants* characters.\n\n[![The original sketch of the main characters, drawn by Stephen Hillenburg in 1997. At the time, SpongeBob's name was actually \"SpongeBoy,\" and Mr. Krabs and Pearl's last name was \"Crabs.\" A few of the characters hadn't been created yet. The colors and names were added in the June 2003 issue of Nickelodeon Magazine.](https:\/\/i.kym-cdn.com\/photos\/images\/newsfeed\/001\/498\/814\/038.jpg)](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/photos\/1498814-spongebob-squarepants) [![](https:\/\/i.kym-cdn.com\/photos\/images\/newsfeed\/000\/711\/126\/85a.jpg)](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/photos\/711126-spongebob-squarepants)\n\nAmong these characters was \"Bob the Sponge\", who resembled an actual sea sponge, and also went under the early working name \"SpongeBoy\" (see above).[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn12) After studying animation further, Hillenburg eventually landed a job at Nickelodeon. He successfully pitched the show to the network's executives, who made two major changes: naming the character \"SpongeBob\" and having him attend a boat-driving school called Mrs. Puff's Boating School. It premiered on May 1, 1999 with the episodes \"Help Wanted\", \"Reef Blower\", and \"Tea at the Treedome\".[\\[1\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn1)\n\n## Reception\nThe show's first season was only a modest success, but the show eventually received worldwide popularity during its second season.[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn2) The theatrical film *[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/the-spongebob-squarepants-movie)* was released in November 2004 to positive reviews, with box office revenues totaling \\$140,161,792.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn3) The show has also found appeal with older audiences, even gaining airtime on MTV[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn4) and Spike TV.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn5) [IGN](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/sites\/ign) ranked *SpongeBob SquarePants* 15th on its list of the Top 100 Animated Series.[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn6) *Entertainment Weekly* ranked the show 4th on their list of the 25 Greatest Animated TV Series.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn7) *SpongeBob SquarePants* has won several awards, including 7 Golden Reel Awards, 5 Annie Awards and an Emmy Award.[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/subcultures\/spongebob-squarepants#fn8)\n\n[![ACTION squarepaNts ONLU IN THEATRES NOVEMBER 200 Sponge BobMovie.com](https:\/\/i.kym-cdn.com\/photos\/images\/newsfeed\/000\/435\/632\/903.jpg)](https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/photos\/435632-spongebob-squarepants) [![2-G0 HERO.

Boilerpipe Text	Navigation About • History • Reception • Online Presence • Fandom • Meme Merchandise • Related Memes • Search Interest • External References • Recent Images • Recent Videos About SpongeBob SquarePants is a long-running American television series created by Stephen Hillenburg, airing on Nickelodeon . Currently on its ninth season, the series revolves around its titular character, SpongeBob SquarePants, and his many misadventures in the underwater town of Bikini Bottom. With all kinds of entertaining and humorous moments and scenes, the show has produced several memes . History Stephen Hillenburg conceived SpongeBob SquarePants in 1984, while he was teaching and studying marine biology at what is now the Orange County Ocean Institute. He became interested in animation, writing a comic book entitled The Intertidal Zone that featured various anthropomorphic forms of sea creatures, many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters. Among these characters was "Bob the Sponge", who resembled an actual sea sponge, and also went under the early working name "SpongeBoy" (see above). [12] After studying animation further, Hillenburg eventually landed a job at Nickelodeon. He successfully pitched the show to the network's executives, who made two major changes: naming the character "SpongeBob" and having him attend a boat-driving school called Mrs. Puff's Boating School. It premiered on May 1, 1999 with the episodes "Help Wanted", "Reef Blower", and "Tea at the Treedome". [1] Reception The show's first season was only a modest success, but the show eventually received worldwide popularity during its second season. [2] The theatrical film The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie was released in November 2004 to positive reviews, with box office revenues totaling $140,161,792. [3] The show has also found appeal with older audiences, even gaining airtime on MTV [4] and Spike TV. [5] IGN ranked SpongeBob SquarePants 15th on its list of the Top 100 Animated Series. [6] Entertainment Weekly ranked the show 4th on their list of the 25 Greatest Animated TV Series. [7] SpongeBob SquarePants has won several awards, including 7 Golden Reel Awards, 5 Annie Awards and an Emmy Award. [8] The show's ninth and most recent season premiered with the episode "Extreme Spots"/"Squirrel Record", which aired on July 21, 2012 to positive reviews from critics and drew 3.7 million American viewers. [13] [14] The same year, a follow-up theatrical sequel entitled SpongeBob SquarePants 2 was announced, which is set for a February 6, 2015 release. [15] Online Presence The large popularity of SpongeBob SquarePants gave it a significant online presence, and the show has spawned several memes. Its official Facebook page has accumulated over 47 million likes as of March 2014. [9] The official SpongeBob SquarePants 's Twitter account, as of March 2014, has accumulated 999,000 followers. [12] Fandom Countless YouTube Poop videos of the series have been uploaded, while image macros of screenshots from the show and its characters are also widespread. In addition, there are numerous wiki -style resource websites dedicated to show, including Encyclopedia SpongeBobia (formerly known as the SpongeBob SquarePants Wiki) [10] and SpongePedia. [11] [This video has been removed] [This video has been removed] Stephen Hillenburg ALS Diagnosis On March 14th, 2017, creator Stephen Hillenberg released a statement that he had been diagnosed with ALS, colloquially known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. [16] Hillenburg, 55, promised that he would continue working on Spongebob . The announcement led to an outpouring of support on Twitter [17] from fans of the series. Stephen Hillenburg's Death On November 26th, Hillenburg died at the age of 57 due to complications from the progressive neurodegenerative disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The following day, the official @Nickelodeon [18] account posted a tweet in Hillenburg's memory (shown below). Meanwhile, Nickelodeon released a statement giving their condolences to Hillenburg's family, while praising the "unique sense of humor and innocence" he brought to Spongebob Squarepants : "We are incredibly saddened by the news that Steve Hillenburg has passed away following a battle with ALS. He was a beloved friend and long-time creative partner to everyone at Nickelodeon, and our hearts go out to his entire family. Steve imbued ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ with a unique sense of humor and innocence that has brought joy to generations of kids and families everywhere. His utterly original characters and the world of Bikini Bottom will long stand as a reminder of the value of optimism, friendship and the limitless power of imagination." Also on November 27th, posts about Hillenburg's death reached the frontpage of various subreddits , including /r/television, [19] /r/BikiniBottomTwitter [20] and /r/spongebob. [21] That day, Twitter user @AWDtwit [22] published an illustration of SpongbBob staring a jellyfish in the distance, along with the message "Rest in Peace, Stephen Hillenburg" (shown below). "Sweet Victory" Petition On November 28th, 2018, Israel Colunga posted a petition to Change.org [23] for " Sweet Victory " from the Spongebob episode "Band Geeks" to be played at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show. The song is originally performed by David Glen Eisley (edited Spongebob clip shown below). Colunga posted the Change.org petition in honor of Stephen Hillenburg, writing: Stephen Hillenburg--the creator of Spongebob Sqaurepants--has passed away recently. As a tribute to his legacy, his contributions to a generation of children, and to truly showcase the greatness of this song, we call for Sweet Victory to be performed at the Halftime Show. The petition quickly grew very popular, gaining over 770,000 signatures in less than a week. Vice [24] wondered if Maroon 5, the scheduled performer of the Halftime Show, would slip "Sweet Victory" into the traditional medley Super Bowl performers usually perform. The petition was also covered by Daily Dot . [25] Tim Conway Death On May 14th, 2019, Tim Conway, who voiced the character Barnacle Boy, passed away at the age of 85. [30] Conway was also well known for his roles on older television shows such as The Carol Burnett Show and McHale's Navy . On Reddit, fans celebrated Conway's career as Barnacle Boy. An /r/dankmemes post by WTSOfficial welcoming Barnacle Boy to Meme Heaven gained over 19,000 points (shown below, left). User IceyRedditer61 posted a Spongebob meme about the death, gaining over 23,000 points (shown below, right). Another tribute on /r/BikiniBottomTwitter gained over 55,000 points.

The figures are inspired by memes and include SpongeGar (shown below, left), Imaaaaaaagination Spongebob (shown below, right), Surprised Patrick, sPOngeBoB and two different Handsome Squidward (shown below, center). The toys are being sold on Amazon [27] for $21.99 each and became "temporarily out of stock" the next day. SpongeBob Smarty Pants Game Show On April 29th, 2019, Viacom Digital Studios announced a new game show that will stream on YouTube and Facebook “SpongeBob SquarePants” at the 9th annual NewFronts event in New York.

The tweet gained over 1,395 likes and 256 retweets in a day (shown below). Chocolate! "Chocolate!" is a quote from the episode "Chocolate with Nuts", shouted by recurring character Tom Smith.

In the episode, Patrick provides a possible solution for dealing with the threat of an Alaskan Bull Worm, by suggesting they relocate the entire town. The captions used in the macro series typically use the snowclone template “We should take X and put it Y” or “We should X and Y" to suggest an alternative solution to a given problem. SpongeBob Uses Too Much Sauce SpongeBob Uses Too Much Sauce is a video meme involving a clip from the episode "The Algae’s Always Greener", where the character Plankton scolds SpongeBob for using too much sauce in his Krabby Patties. SpongeBob's confused and emotional reaction has become a popular clip, spawning various YouTube parodies and remixes.

It features a character attempting to enter a bar named the Salty Spitoon, a club renowned for its toughness, by proving his toughness with a personal anecdote. Usual variations feature the character telling the club’s bouncer, Reg, part of story proving his toughness after being asked "How tough are ya?". Following this, Reg laughs due to it alone not being considered tough. Then, an additional detail is provided that makes the story seem much more strenuous and Reg allows access. Wumbo Wumbo is nonsensical word coined by Patrick in the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV".

X Drops by Squidward's House X Drops by Squidward's House is a YouTube fad based on editing a scene from the episode "Have You Seen This Snail?" where Patrick Star and SpongeBob SquarePants walk in on Squidward Tentacles bathing. The exploitable scene is edited to replace SpongeBob and Patrick with other assorted characters. You Like Krabby Patties, Don’t You Squidward? You Like Krabby Patties, Don’t You Squidward? is a quote spoken by SpongeBob SquarePants in the episode "Just One Bite". The phrase is used to caption images in which the subject smiles knowingly, usually after a realization, as well as images of SpongeBob SquarePants with aforementioned smile. Who Put You on the Planet? “Who Put You on the Planet?” is an expression used in online conversations as an insult towards another poster for his/her perceived stupidity or ignorance. The quote was originally said by Christian televangelist Reverend X in an episode of his public access TV program The Spirit of Truth that aired sometime in the early 2000s, but its colloquial usage came through its inclusion in an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeGar / Primitive Sponge / Caveman SpongeBob SpongeGar, Primitive Sponge, and Caveman SpongeBob are nicknames given to SpongeBob's prehistoric ancestors in the series. A still image of the character Primative Sponge wearing an angry expression, taken from the 1999 episode "SB-129", has been used as a reaction image on the /mu/ (music) board on 4chan and in a series of Black Twitter image macros. Savage Patrick Savage Patrick refers to a still image of the character Patrick Star looking as if he is in the midst of a maniacally evil chuckle.

Currently on its ninth season, the series revolves around its titular character, SpongeBob SquarePants, and his many misadventures in the underwater town of Bikini Bottom. With all kinds of entertaining and humorous moments and scenes, the show has produced several [memes](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/memes). ## History Stephen Hillenburg conceived SpongeBob SquarePants in 1984, while he was teaching and studying marine biology at what is now the Orange County Ocean Institute. He became interested in animation, writing a comic book entitled The Intertidal Zone that featured various [anthropomorphic](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cultures/anthropomorphism) forms of sea creatures, many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters. [![The original sketch of the main characters, drawn by Stephen Hillenburg in 1997. At the time, SpongeBob's name was actually "SpongeBoy," and Mr. Krabs and Pearl's last name was "Crabs." A few of the characters hadn't been created yet. The colors and names were added in the June 2003 issue of Nickelodeon Magazine.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/498/814/038.jpg)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1498814-spongebob-squarepants) [![](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/711/126/85a.jpg)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/711126-spongebob-squarepants) Among these characters was "Bob the Sponge", who resembled an actual sea sponge, and also went under the early working name "SpongeBoy" (see above).[\[12\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn12) After studying animation further, Hillenburg eventually landed a job at Nickelodeon. He successfully pitched the show to the network's executives, who made two major changes: naming the character "SpongeBob" and having him attend a boat-driving school called Mrs. Puff's Boating School. It premiered on May 1, 1999 with the episodes "Help Wanted", "Reef Blower", and "Tea at the Treedome".[\[1\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn1) ## Reception The show's first season was only a modest success, but the show eventually received worldwide popularity during its second season.[\[2\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn2) The theatrical film [The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/the-spongebob-squarepants-movie) was released in November 2004 to positive reviews, with box office revenues totaling \$140,161,792.[\[3\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn3) The show has also found appeal with older audiences, even gaining airtime on MTV[\[4\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn4) and Spike TV.[\[5\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn5) [IGN](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/ign) ranked SpongeBob SquarePants 15th on its list of the Top 100 Animated Series.[\[6\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn6) Entertainment Weekly ranked the show 4th on their list of the 25 Greatest Animated TV Series.[\[7\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn7) SpongeBob SquarePants has won several awards, including 7 Golden Reel Awards, 5 Annie Awards and an Emmy Award.[\[8\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn8) [![ACTION squarepaNts ONLU IN THEATRES NOVEMBER 200 Sponge BobMovie.com](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/435/632/903.jpg)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/435632-spongebob-squarepants) [![2-G0 HERO.

Currently on its ninth season, the series revolves around its titular character, SpongeBob SquarePants, and his many misadventures in the underwater town of Bikini Bottom. With all kinds of entertaining and humorous moments and scenes, the show has produced several [memes](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/memes). ## History Stephen Hillenburg conceived SpongeBob SquarePants in 1984, while he was teaching and studying marine biology at what is now the Orange County Ocean Institute. He became interested in animation, writing a comic book entitled The Intertidal Zone that featured various [anthropomorphic](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cultures/anthropomorphism) forms of sea creatures, many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters. [![The original sketch of the main characters, drawn by Stephen Hillenburg in 1997. At the time, SpongeBob's name was actually "SpongeBoy," and Mr. Krabs and Pearl's last name was "Crabs." A few of the characters hadn't been created yet. The colors and names were added in the June 2003 issue of Nickelodeon Magazine.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/498/814/038.jpg)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1498814-spongebob-squarepants) [![](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/711/126/85a.jpg)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/711126-spongebob-squarepants) Among these characters was "Bob the Sponge", who resembled an actual sea sponge, and also went under the early working name "SpongeBoy" (see above).[\[12\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn12) After studying animation further, Hillenburg eventually landed a job at Nickelodeon.

It premiered on May 1, 1999 with the episodes "Help Wanted", "Reef Blower", and "Tea at the Treedome".[\[1\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn1) ## Reception The show's first season was only a modest success, but the show eventually received worldwide popularity during its second season.[\[2\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn2) The theatrical film [The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/the-spongebob-squarepants-movie) was released in November 2004 to positive reviews, with box office revenues totaling \$140,161,792.[\[3\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn3) The show has also found appeal with older audiences, even gaining airtime on MTV[\[4\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn4) and Spike TV.[\[5\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn5) [IGN](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/ign) ranked SpongeBob SquarePants 15th on its list of the Top 100 Animated Series.[\[6\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn6) Entertainment Weekly ranked the show 4th on their list of the 25 Greatest Animated TV Series.[\[7\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn7) SpongeBob SquarePants has won several awards, including 7 Golden Reel Awards, 5 Annie Awards and an Emmy Award.[\[8\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/spongebob-squarepants#fn8) [![ACTION squarepaNts ONLU IN THEATRES NOVEMBER 200 Sponge BobMovie.com](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/435/632/903.jpg)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/435632-spongebob-squarepants) [![2-G0 HERO.
