ā€œAbsorbent and yellow and porous is he!ā€ I like it. ---

Heā€™s still fun and wacky, but I do get tired of the reruns. And Iā€™m still bitter at Nickelodeon for cancelling Invader Zim, the finest of all cartoons. ---

Heā€™s wonderfully wacky. Itā€™s one show I enjoy watching the repeats of-heā€™s always funny and never gets old. His happy-go-lucky lifestyle is a great one. And how many other sponges can say they got an Emmy nomination this year? ---

I think theyā€™re all going to be reruns until after the movie comes out. No show has ever done a better Valentines day special. ---

[Devilā€™s Advocate Hat ON] Sponge Bob is stupid. I never did understand the appeal of this irritating little fellow. [Devilā€™s Advocate Hat OFF] ---

SpongeBob movie? Oh, Lord help usā€¦ I recently saw Spencer Tracy in _Inherit the Wind_, and the one line that stuck out for me in the Brady courtroom scene was Tracy asking, ā€œWhat does a sponge think?ā€ I completely expected to hear SpongeBob laughing in the background. ---

I love using my language enhancers. Iā€™m actually more of a fan of Patrick. ---

Make that ā€œsentence enhancers.ā€ I see itā€™s going to be a long day ahead. ---

A SpongeBob movie? Say it ainā€™t so! I like the little guy but Iā€™m getting a wee bit tired of the reruns, too. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by JuanitaTech \* > **A SpongeBob movie? Say it ainā€™t so!** Yes. Steve Hillenberg, the spongeā€™s creator, has decided to take a little break from the showā€¦to get him prepped for the big screen. ---

As a rider of public transportation, Glove World was my favorite episode! Followed by Squidwardā€™s move to the all-squid community, though I really havenā€™t seen all that much of the porous one. ---

I watched about 3 minutes of a Sponge Bob show before deciding it probably causes brain damage. What happened to the days of Nick showing good cartoons? I pine for Rockoā€™s Modern Lifeā€¦ ---

I love Spongebob! My favorite had to have been when Squidward starts his own marching band and Spongebob breaks into a monster ballad at the end. Sheer hilarity! I really want that ā€œCaptainā€ painting from the intro! I donā€™t know if itā€™s a real painting or not, though. ---

Sponge Bob Rules! My favorite is " The Night of the Hash Slinging Slasher" when the Krusty Krabb is going to be open 24 hours and Sponge Bob says, ā€œItā€™ll just be like a slumber party, only weā€™re all greasy!ā€ ---

My favorite one was when Sponge Bob and Patrick were trying to sell chocolate bars. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sponge-bob/120286.md?page=2)
