i know you people be go to flame me and but i have to review this since i have be bombard with the show overratedness . what do i think represent i do not really get spongebob popularity . i can understand why south park be popular and i can understand why ren and stimpy be so popular . they be both gross and crude humor show that grow on you the more you watch them . gross and disgust humor sell and period . but spongebob be like a water down ren and stimpy with none of the gross and disgust charm that i love so much . in fact and now that i think about it and i think spongebob be basically the cartoon equivalent of star war jar jar binks . both be immature and stupid and childish character that can pass off a offensive stereotype ( jar jar equal black southern people and spongebob equal gay men ) . but i do not get this . people who hat jar jar ( as well a the sw prequels ) love the spongebob character and think the show be genius ( which it not ) . the two character be so much alike that it sicken . so in my book and if you want funny cartoon that deserve the hype they get and watch south park and ren and stimpy or even beavis and butthead . i just bet spongebob will come down with the simpson syndrome due it popularity ( btw and the simpson syndrome refers to show that never ever end ) .
