Of course, on the surface, Spongebob appears to be a cartoon designed for the 6-12 year old crowd.  The colors, the funny aquatic creatures, the underwater squirrel, the quirky music.  But anyone who has watched SB knows that, in general, this cartoon is more appropriate for the under 5 crowd, who are too young to understand the crude humor, and the high school and college crowd, who have created many a drinking game around Spongebob.  [...]

It’s been a while since I did a Spongebob post, and I was feeling in the mood tonight.  So here it is, the top 5 disgusting Spongebob episodes, in no particualr order, except for #1, which is the most disgusting. 5.  Pets or Pests- Spongebob and Patrick discover a worm while playing.  Worm gives birth, chased off by Gary, leaving SB with a half a dozen baby worms.  They basically spend the entire episode squirting [...]

Okay, boys and girls, just finished watching the top ten fan favorite episodes, and I am a little underwhelmed. Most of them are from the first season or two, and while I have recently complained that the newer episodes have been poor, the very old episodes aren’t great, either. Like most other cartoons (ie Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama), the earliest episodes tend to be, well… primitive, experimental. Because the characters, and the series itself, haven’t [...]

Here you go, fans, the five best SB battles.  Again, in no particular order, except for #1, which will be my favorite 5.  Flats-  New kid at school, chooses to beat SB up for no reason.  SB spends the entire episode trying to make friends with Flats, but to no avail.  Even Flats’ father is afraid of him, telling SB “Now he is going to kick MY butt!”  None of the adults, including Mrs. Puff [...]

Last week, I did my 5 best SB vs Patrick episodes.  Today, I give you the top 5 SB vs Squidward episodes, as decided by me.  #5-2 are random, and like last time, #1 stands out as the best.  Enjoy.  Comments appreciated 5.  Snail Race-  Not direct competition or battle, but entertaining.  Snelly, Squidward’s purebred snail, forfeits her chance to win the snail race to comfort a broken-down Gary.  Both Squidward and SB’s snails lose to [...]

I will admit, I am kind of embarrassed.  I started this blog about two weeks ago, and I’ve have about 200 visitors, nothing spectacular, but surprising anyway. My original intention for this blog was to explore fatherhood, sports, politics and technology, with a little Spongebob thrown in on the side.  Imagine my surprise when i found that more than half of my hits were for my Spongebob columns  Well, if that is what people wants, [...]

Here it goes, a 31 year old dentists five favorite Spongebob episodes. 5.  Dunces and Dragons- I know, its not fair to put a 1/2 movie on the list, but being a Dungeons and Dragons fan, it holds a special palce in my heart.  Entertaining from beginning to end, especially the battle with Sandy, this is a wonderful episode 4. Sunction Cup Symphony-  Why this one?  Because this episode epitomizes the idea that Spongebob is [...]
