We're all familiar with the cartoon icon, Spongebob Squarepants. However, the series changed drastically since the first few seasons we've seen him. In this blog, I'll be taking a look at the sponge we all know and love, and how much he's changed since the beginning of the series. |

As usual, we're looking at the humor of the show first. I realized that the humor of this entire show is based on Patrick and Spongebob's simple-mindedness. Usually, entire episode plots are triggered through a misunderstanding of some sort, but I'll get to that later.

Another thing that changed a bit was the art-style of each character. Spongebob got a bit more skinny since his debut, which in my opinion is a better design choice because it makes him feel more proportionate with Patrick. Patrick however, stayed the same design-wise. Sandy cheeks was another character who was refined by the animators. Her eyes were a lot bigger and her torso was much wider back in older episodes. It seems to be a common theme that the characters got skinnier in the newer episodes.

Speaking of new episodes, you can really tell that they're running out of creative ideas and are on the edge of creative burnout. The new episodes feel random, and sometimes boring when it comes down to what they're actually supposed to be doing in each situation. Another really bad problem is that they keep dishing out episodes about Spongebob failing to get his boating license, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy - themed episodes. They end up all feeling the same because of how many there are.

Overall, the show isn't in the best place it can be, but it still does end up as probably the best cartoon on nickelodeon comparing it to the other ones. This show gets a 4/5 from me because of how well it's been holding up since the beginning.

You use very creative wording and the way that you created your own Gifs is awesome. You can tell that you have really read the books or watched the show.
ReplyDeleteI love spongebob i perfer the old one because it just brings back so much memories but i like your wording and how much you talk about spongebob its amazing. Good job
ReplyDeleteI have the same feeling of SpongeBob too! I love Spongebob to bits, but the show was starting to go down hill. The older old are much better. What is your favorite episode. Mine is Survival of the Idiots.
ReplyDeleteThis is the truest blog ive read today. The original is always better than the remakes. The blog is interesting and pretty funny. I love the origanal sponegbob and i still watch the original episodes with my little cousins from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Ansel. They are running out of ideas for spongebob and the old ones were better. I wish they still played Spongebob today. Good blog ansel.
