Stephen Hillenburg will always be remembered for what he did for the world. His creations made me laugh and filled my heart with joy during my childhood. I'm glad that he was the one that started this show, Spongebob Squarepants. Gone, but not forgotten.

Imma be honest growing up I was a marine biology nerd so the fact SpongeBob was made by an actual marine biologist made me really happy

[benwasserman]

Few cartoons can say their lead is as iconic as Bugs, Mickey and Scooby-Doo. SpongeBob has definitely earned that title, warts and all.

[rustyshackleford]

The older seasons of SpongeBob are absolutely brilliant.

stephen hillenburg is a legend. he never got his flowers or his full credit for having such a major impact and influence on multiple generations of kids, adults and animation with spongebob. his hardwork paid off, he changed the world. r.i.p.

Two of my childhood birthday parties were SpongeBob themed because I was truly obsessed with the show. SpongeBob piñatas, SpongeBob themed plates, sporks, cups, table tops, cake, the full package. I still have those childhood party photos and even now as a 26 year old guy, still love those underwater creatures that made my childhood something that I will never forget. Thank you, Mr. Hillenburg 🙏🥲

Thank you so much Jordan for your commitment to Fringemas ! You have unlocked so many memories for me with each video. Merry Christmas 🎄

Even if the show ends in the next few years, the characters of SpongeBob that we’re all going recognize them. I think we’ll be iconic for generations to come.

Jordan and Scott are the duo that I needed!

[borntoclimb]

This serie was so good, the first 3 seasons are legendary and the reason for so many nice memes.

[ChasetheG]

I can’t wait for next Christmas when Jordan and Scott talk about SpongeBob again.

4:54 Young Stephen looked just like Spongebob!🤣

Hillenberg's work on Rocko's Modern Life along with several of the same voice actors is unfortunately under appreciated. That cartoon was every bit as brilliant and clever as the first 3-4 seasons of SpongeBob. RIP Stephen, thank you for making my childhood awesome

[NintendoTV]

Stephen Hillenburg was, is, and always will be, one of my biggest inspirations in the animation industry. He created a show that has truly stood the test of time and become a cultural icon on par with Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny, and one that was undoubtedly filled with love and passion in every sense of the word. The first 3 seasons still stand as some of the best episodes of any TV show ever, and it's hard to imagine what animation would be like today if it wasn't for SpongeBob. Thank you Stephen Hillenburg and rest in peace. You will live on in our hearts forever.

What A Surprise to see Scott Here! SpongeBob SquarePants will always be One of my Favorite Cartoons that I always love watching so much.
Thank you Stephen Hillenburg for creating a Wonderful Masterpiece that always made us laugh and bought Joy to us all. You will always be remembered in our Hearts.

That mention of _"Sweet Victory"_ really got me going. I don't think anything can top that legend in my book.

Merry Christmas, Fringe, everyone.

Thank-you, Stephen Hillenburg and friends, for the best show ever!

When I think of Spongebob jokes, my mind instantly goes to "Nosferatu"

[APalavraDeNetuno]

Despite the newer episodes having some issues, I still love this show and the characters Stephen Hillenburg, the voice actors and all the artists working in Spongebob made. There are quotes and episodes that will be in everybody's memory for a very long time.
And remember! When in doubt, pinky out!

There are a few things from the early 2000s that instantly give me nostalgia but for me it's always been Nick and CN shows, ads in between shows, and the Cartoon Network theme. There's something with early 2000s Nickelodeon that will always have a special place in my heart because that was my childhood.
