@@JoshuaJames604 In the first ones, Spongebob was more like an young adult, with an job etc. you had the difference between childhood (Patrick), young adulthood (Spongebob) and advanced adulthood (Spuidward). They changed Spongebob more and more to an adult baby. And so the jokes were getting lame and easy to understand. In the first Seasons, they had Epidodes around topics like Nihilism, depression or social reputation. This kicked harder than the new childish jokes.

Just wanted to put this here as my respect for Stephen Hillenburg and everybody who worked on those first seasons of this show. I was born in the early 2000s and my childhood was parents who didnt get along (later to be divorced) and I as a kid wasnt watched over and did things by myself. My mother although bought me dvds very often of cartoons that I normally watched past midnight because I never had parents that put me to sleep. Literally all my happiness as kid came from this show and I remember I could feel the connection without knowing these passionate people who made it. I dont have connections with either of my parents anymore because items like drugs, sex, etc. were more important to them, but in a way this show raised me and looking back for a tv show it didnt do that bad a job doing so.

[@gabbyvillarreal1062]
