Ocean Man [in honor of Stephen Hillenburg]

This idea just kinda came to mind recently. I watched this spongebob documentary and it just made me feel so nostalgic, but also sad. I feel so glad to grow up with the old spongebob, seasons 1-3. Steve and the crew had just taken off, and everything was great. Recently, spongebob has been getting worse and worse since Steve passed, and I wanted to make this tribute to him and the rest of the crew for creating such an amazing cartoon to grow up with.
This seems like it came out of nowhere, but my little ADHD self just got hyperfixated on nostalgic things, but mostly Spongebob.
R.I.P, ocean man.
Thanks for making so many childhoods better.

His ashes were spread in the pacific ocean, now he's the real OCEAN MAN

[@skysautter8240]

That’s awesome

[@NintendoTV64]

RIP Stephen Hillenburg. You will always have a special place in our hearts for making such an iconic show!

[@skysautter8240]

Yup

[@ScribbleyYT]

Thank you Stephen Hilenberg for creating everyone’s childhood

[@ConnorMiller417]

He made millions of children’s childhoods so much fun. Stephen wasn’t led by money or greed, he only cares about making people happy. He gave his earnings from SpongeBob to marine life organizations as well as their health services for animals. It’s only fitting his ashes were scattered at sea. He really was the Ocean Man! Rest in peace Stephen. ❤

[@Salemchevy]

The man that literally changed the world. Imagine if we didn’t have SpongeBob. No juicy memes no epic childhoods no banger songs.

[@clockworkNate]

Well except for this song Ocean Man which came out before SpongeBob was created. But it's funny if this song and its album weren't created, we wouldn't have SpongeBob. 😄

[@TheRunaway115]

“Aye aye cap’n you did it!” He sure did didn’t he? Man, what a guy. So long for now Mr. Hillenburg

[@isaiahhenio4556]

Stephen Hillenburg is the True Ocean Man May He Rest In Peace

[@LinkFan2202]

Millions of childhoods, made so much better by this man’s wonderful creation. SpongeBob is a timeless classic that never gets old. Stephen Hillenburg is a legend.

[@supermichael9857]

It’s never too late to mourn someone. Especially if they’re a legend. RIP Stephen Hillenburg

[@degariuslozak2169]

RIP Stephen, I'm sorry that Nickelodeon started to milk your franchised the way they are, but I'm forever grateful for the childhood-defining first 3 seasons and first movie you gave us. Rest well captain. You've earned your ship♥

[@Flint_the_uhhh]

This makes me feel emotions I can't even put into words. Damn.

[@dorkfish1275]

If the final episode doesnt have a picture reel with ocean man playing I'm gonna shoot nickelodeon.

[@Lolsterz33]

LITERALLY

[@RekoBrowner]

a legend. he created spongebob, he wrote, directed, produced and storyboarded on rocko's modern life so he was one of the main reasons that show was so great. so many shows came from spongebob and the writers he hired for it:chowder, phineas and ferb, harvey beaks, adventure time, billy and mandy, fish hooks, steven universe, mighty bee etc. all branches of the spongebob tree.

[@jess.coquuskingmoogle97]

I guess you can say Rocko’s modern life walked so SpongeBob SquarePants could run

[@RekoBrowner]

[@NoahClevinger]

What an incredible man he was. I’m forever grateful for Mr. Hillenburg because SpongeBob is my favorite show of all time. He will always be remembered for how much of an impact he had on all of us.

[@raphaelanderson9345]

A tear run down when tom kenny did spongebob voice was spongebob saying farewell to his captain❤🧽

[@nopenopenope5162]

so many lives would not be the same today if stephen did not make spongebob, mine included. rest in peace, mr hillenberg, and thank you for the wild ride that is spongebob squarepants

[@idkissausername1667]

Man, seeing these clips from a different era, its bittersweet. You can tell that this was a passion project, done not for money or fame, but out of love. The money and fame were simply byproducts. And Mr Hillenberg made it all happen, without him or this show, i can say with absolute certainty that i would not be the same person i am today. They say a person dies 2 deaths, their mortal death, and the death of their memory. As long as Spongebob is beloved by millions, Stephen will live on. Thank you, again, Mr Hillenberg. "It was his hat Mr Krabs, He was Number 1!"

[@Lolsterz33]

Hey y’all, I’d just like to thank you all for the nice comments and all of this attention. When I posted this, I hoped that if this got any attention that the comments would stay full of positivity and Stephens legacy. I really appreciate it

[@bah6422]

Believe or not, one of the things that made me and my couple closer to each other in the beggining was our love for SpongeBob. The first time we ever met we stayed in the room watching some episodes, so thanks not just for the childhood memories but also for all the laughs as an adult. Rest in Piece, Steven, the real Ocean Man 💛.

[@omarmolinajr9824]

Wow those first 5 years where really special and something else it's crazy thinking none of them realized the impact they where doing in those stuidos and history that was being made at that time. Thank you for making our childhoods so special💛❤️

[@SpaghettiMaker]

And you posted this so close to his birthday. I feel like if anything itd be great to remember him by coming back to this every year of his birthday.

[@giaestrada-zt7du]

rip stephen hillenburg❤

[@RainbowFluffy77]

Awww thank you for making this for him, he deserves it as he made my childhood fun, I was a very happy kid around SpongeBob shows, as I always loved the cartoon, my favorite, even I had the Gameboy games and pc games of SpongeBob, some people think is annoying cuz they adults now but they never know that true happiness of a kid was always SpongeBob not matter how annoying he was but he was a good fellow and good friend, rip Stephen Hillengburg, you were a good man, made many kids happy, and you always will even after death, may your SpongeBob and friends keep living till the age of men dies, cuz we will never miss your beautiful work.

[@entertainmentpowerfuchs5744]

This video legit made me nearly tear up. Kinda feel bad because it didn’t.

[@NEOSOBASED]

This could really make a man cry, prolly would've made younger me cry, the "kid" me, makes me sad how I'm not this type of emotional anymore, I remember really being sad that SpongeBob won't be my friend or something, but I was kinda old at this time, this was in my emotions and fantasy type section
