I mean, this isn't that unreasonable. Pretty much every source was based on hearsay. They noticed a character called Spongeboy, likely trademarked, and didn't look into it too much. Someone could've said "a mop or a sponge or something" in the original conversation, and it just got passed down in a game of telephone. Then when people started recalling it, the rumored version took precedent in their minds so that's what they went with. Nobody really cared enough to check for the original reason, probably because the original reason, itself, was somebody noticing something and mentioning it in a meeting. Of course no one would remember the exact conversation from so long ago very well. I totally think it's the Flaming Carrot comic that did it.

Which always felt like a half-truth/lie. There was a recent video essay (by Slio) where he looked into that claim, and interviewed some Japanese fans. Mike Reiss, a Simpsons writer, repeated the four-finger answer in his book. I think people involved in those productions end up repeating these falsehoods because of a game of telephone. They hear it from a person in one department, it gets repeated…that sort of thing. So cool how much research you put into this! Those pencils are gonna end up in the Smithsonian.

Hello, I live in Iceland and I want to correct something. "Svampur Sveinsson" does not mean SpongeBoy, it means "Sponge, Son of Boy". For context of the "Sveinsson" part, the last names in Iceland are not based on family names but based on the name of the father. Thor, Son of Odin is a good example of that naming system. If I had to guess, Google Translate probably led you to believe his name was SpongeBoy over here. Edit: "Sveinn" is a name here in Iceland so it could be "Son of Sveinn" as well.

I actually love this breakdown, it has hilarious context to a few of the earlier episodes of Spngebob that I think were either references that didn't land with the audience at the time or (more likely) inside jokes from the people who created those episodes. I don't know if the doodle bob being born from a pencil was intentional, but either way, a pencil being one of the main concerns that lead to the name change makes having his evil doppelganger a drawing even more hilarious. The sky hook do feel like a direct poke at the Flaming Carrot though, which I think is a nice tough and fit in the Spongebob universe seamlessly.

I know it's a weird thing to comment on, but your voice work is fantastic. You pause at the perfect times for the perfect amounts of time, and your annunciation is great. You also just have a nice voice in general. Seriously, great stuff.
