Stephen Hillenburg Memorial - Best Day Ever

[@supermariofan03]

It's heartwarming that despite being at a memorial, Tom Kenny was keeping it upbeat.

[@ElfHostage]

A badass doesn’t have to be physically strong. Bringing an element of joy in the wake of this tragedy is heartwarmingly badass.

[@TestTest-lq5ip]

Tom Kennedy is such an amazing guy!

[@bdawgiscool_1511]

I’m sure it was hard but he makes it so easy. I’d be balling in his position but he’s just up there not breaking down

[@moviebuffshatto7375]

That’s the Power of Tom Kenny

[@annelivalkama7451]

@@bdawgiscool_1511 You can hear Tom Kenny's voice breaking near the third chorus, so it must've been emotionally hard to sing in memory of his friend.

If it weren’t for Stephen Hillenburg I would never have started studying Marine Biology

[@Bigtimersh5]

Bolbi145 Spongebob got me into two things: Sea Biology and Mythology

[@Bolbi145]

New Bigtimersh5 That’s why those “studies” that say Spongebob makes kids dumb really make me furious

[@Bigtimersh5]

Bolbi145 EXACTLY

[@Bolbi145]

New Bigtimersh5 Sure Marine Biology isn’t brain surgery or rocket science, but it’s still a respectable field

[@Bigtimersh5]

Bolbi145 Marine biology is still a type of education, is what your trying to say.

[@annelivalkama7451]

Thanks to Hillenberg I'll always appreciate undersea life and Tom Kenny for both of them made my life feel warmer. I started watching SpongeBob when I was 10 years old after seeing the first movie on DVD so hearing "Best Day ever" sung in memory for Stephen Hillenberg is making me tear up. It still hurts knowing that he didnt live long enough to see the 20th anniversary special but 10 years from now I'll still love SpongeBob and when I meet Tom Kenny I 'm sure to tell him how much that role has meant to me.
