I remember when my parents used to tell me that watching Spongebob rots a kid's brain. I have no idea where that came from; maybe they predicted how memeable it would become.
Either way, huzzah!
20 years already? God I feel old.
I need to see the clip of Tom Kenny flipping burgers in a real life burger joint called the Trusty Slab
I remember the good old days when my catholic family was worried that Spongebob was going to turn all of us gay. That devious sponge.
Are you ready kids?!
I wish I had that. My mother has watched about seven films in her life, and trivial television shows are just that; trivial. I think if I quoted Spongebob to her, she'd just blink and asked if I had fallen into drug-use whilst at uni.
Growing up Spongebob was my shit, nowadays it's like meh. Sad state of affairs I guess.
That’s me, might be 2002/03:

I actually got the chance to go to a pre-screening of The Spongebob Movie with a friend of mine at the time. He ended up winning a gift basket and I goaded him into giving me this.

I have good memories of watching early spongebob with my parents. Season 1 spongebob is the funniest shit
That's awesome. My parents aren't quite that cool, but they still enjoy movies and TV a lot, and passed that on to me and my brothers. They showed me Star Wars at the ripe old age of 5 years old, and that changed my life forever.
(I only remember this because I remember building my own Lego X-Wing a full year before the official sets came out. I proceeded to collect the entire first wave, which included convincing my parents to let me take money out of my savings account so I could buy the Millennium Falcon.)
When I was a kid I rarely got to see Spongebob. All I saw as a kid was the part where Squidward enters the future and its all chrome, and so all I saw and heard was odd music and chrome krusty krab. That, and I had a cd with the episode "Home Sweet Pineapple" where spongebob's house is eaten by nematodes and whatever the other episode was. Unfortunately, the CD crapped out whenever it reached the part where spongebob says "I cannot hold onto you anymore little pebble, you hold too many memories" and starts burying it so I was like wow thats fucking depressing and never watched it again cause I thought the show was just about sabotaging my upbringing
Thankfully nowadays I've been able to watch most of the episodes for the first time as an adult and the first few seasons are fantastic, and I'm no longer stuck with nothing but confusing music, chrome aesthetics, and harsh doses of reality. Unfortunately its too little too late, and those two oddities in my youth have had a larger effect on my personality than I'd like to admit.
Keep asking yourself questions because it brings you closer to understanding yourself. Strive to admit truth, and you will be truthful. It's never too late.
Your parents sound amazing. Mine never cared about movies, they only cared about working or watching reality TV. I hope I can be like what your parents were.
