How The Design Of Spongebob Has Changed Over The Years

Spongebob Squarepants was Nickelodeon at its absolute best. The animation studio has changed since the show first aired yet Spongebob Squarepants episodes still rule the network. Now there's rumors that Kamp Koral will be a full series in the future. Even still, it will be the work of Stephen Hillenburg in his full run that will be talked about for as long as animated shows make it to TV. In that process Spongebob Squarepants has changed and this is a look at how.

Is Spongebob one of the best animated shows of all time? Where does it rank?

Seasons 1-3 of Spongebob are god-tier. There's a reason 99% of the Spongebob memes we see online are ripped from those episodes. The content was just better.

The darker, hand-drawn look made the show more laid back

Oh hey, do you remember when Patrick wasn’t extremely dumb, or when Squidward was happy and not getting tortured all the time, okay maybe when sandy actually knew karate instead of only being a scientist, even when Spongebob didn’t burn your eyes?

When I’m 115 years old and on my death bed I’ll still laugh at “how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?!”

I liked spongebob's color before. He was a warmer shade of yellow. Now he's a damn highlighter

Lol remember when sandy was more than just the smart scientist?
When she actually did karate and stuff?

The old SpongeBob was likable smart and joyful
Modern SpongeBob is a crack addicted sociopath

I liked Squidward a lot when he showed happiness and enjoyment, I’m sad to see him always angry and being tortured

Rest In Peace Stephen Hillenburg you’ve changed lives with spongebob

I finally understand why krabs says "Spongeboy me bob!" In that old ass episode.

Remember that episode when Squidward made SpongeBob cry during April fools. The fact that the audience were like "oh shit" the moment we realized Squidward took it to far really means a lot to me. Showed how while the show is meant to have fun it can be taken serious whenever it wanted to and that was amazing.

i really cant stand the "screaming and crying humor". that's what it seems to have evolved into.

i think what made season 1 so good was that it was a chill in a way where we were just watching some adults live their lives in the ocean.

- squidward is just a normal adult who is sometimes cynical because he works minimum wage as a cashier. but even if he's cynical, he finds joy in different types of art (painting, sculpting, dancing, playing the clarinet, etc). and he was annoyed by everyone, but he did occasionally enjoy everyone's presence at times.
- spongebob was a little naïve, but he was still an adult. he likes "childish" activities, but they were just that, activities. he was still an adult and he acted like one. he just really liked his job. he was sad sometimes, but he wasn't a child.
- patrick was always a little dumb, but he's not a total idiot where he can't think for himself. he isn't a child. he's just some unemployed dude.
- sandy was a science wizz, but she also had a life outside of science. she lived in the ocean to study sea animals and she made genuine friends outside of science purposes. she was also athletic and strong (idk why they threw this plotline out)
- mr. krabs was always a capitalist monster lmao

overall they were just adults, but they've been shifted for spongebob & patrick to be the kids while everyone else are the adults. which is why the dynamics feel so off.
