    i miss SpongeBob and by that i mean the humour of the first 2 (or 3) seasons, not only its jokes but also physical comedy which is overexaggerated nowadays. it was so much more clever and entertaining than the newer episodes. that holds true for any media that came out around that time so i guess i mean to say i miss when people actually made funny cartoons, movies and tv shows. i miss that generation of entertainers.

      I agree. The newer episodes aren't funny and the humor is forced. I won't lie, I laughed at some of the modern jokes but it's rare compared to the first few seasons, I couldn't stop laughing or was laughing a good portion of the episodes.

    Are we just going to ignore the fact that the Krusty Krab gets destroyed on a regular basis? It’s no wonder Mr. Krabs is obsessed with money when he has to constantly rebuild his restaurant from the ground up. And the causes only grow in ridiculousness. I think my favorite one was when Spongebob blew up the Krusty Krab trying to clean a spot off of a plate.
    I think the running ukulele music also deserves a mention.

    7:30 I especially like the times when Plankton gets squished. When Plankton is a splatter with his eyebrow, eye and mouth visible in the middle, or the Karen’s Baby episode when plankton is simply walking past saying “Karen, I-Blaat” when Karen runs him over. I also like the scene where Plankton pleads for Mr Krabs not to launch him, and Mr. Krabs says that he will go easy on him, but then stretches Plankton like a balloon. With plankton saying GAAAAA--AAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!! In excruciating pain. With his tiny tongue waving, eye stretched and rubber sound effects and then being inflated into a balloon
