More absorbent. Animation Adventure Comedy Family Fantasy. Did you know Edit. Trivia The show's creator, Stephen Hillenburg , was a marine biologist. When he pitched the show to Nickelodeon, he brought a fish tank into the boardroom, and explained what was living inside.
He then placed a cartoon drawing of SpongeBob into the tank and said "This is SpongeBob, the star of your new show. Goofs In the episode where Spongebob is making his own Mermaidman movie, it is said that Patrick kept the lens cap on during the entire film, but, you can easily see that that is not true, since you see the camera filming without a lens cap.
Quotes Patrick : The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma. Crazy credits The background of the end credits shows white silhouettes of flowers upon a yellow background. The music that plays usually is the closing theme, which is ukulele music.
Alternate versions The French version digitally changes the opening title cards for each episode to the title in French. The opening sequence has also been slightly altered: the bubble words "SpongeBob SquarePants" has been replaced with a bubble version of SpongeBob. On the board that changes colors, SpongeBob's face replaces the name SpongeBob SquarePants; the part where SpongeBob's pants bounce around the show's title has been replaced with scenery in Bikini Bottom, and the show's title is digitally altered to read "Bob l'eponge".
User reviews Review. Top review. Ahh yes, the good show I remember when I first saw the show, the episode: Bubblestand. I loved that episode and decided to wait for more episodes. That was when I noticed that five million more episodes came on. Watched every single one of 'em.
I loved it as a little kid, and I still like it today. I love this show so much I could hug it. It was so delightful. I looked back 11 minutes into the thing, and my father was asleep. Krabs : The first time I read [for Mr. Krabs] for Steve, he told me to riff.
I was just doing some pirate voice. I said, "Steve, you're the director, right? All of a sudden we had the latitude to do other voices — the "Krusty Krab Pizza" thing. I'm sitting there, and I didn't know anything about the show, like, "What's he doing? He's totally out of character! KENNY: It's hard to riff when you don't know the character yet, or it's your first brush with the character. But now, Clancy riffs as Krabs all the time. It took me a while to get comfortable because I felt like [you guys] were all so much more established.
I was amazed. Then we had this scene [in season 3's "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV"] with the utility belt and it zapped me, and I had to do a sequence of screams. Each scream had to be a different type of a scream. There, they learned I could scream, so now, every episode they make me scream. Now [Squidward] is more me than anything else.
But I know there's something about her being mad that became a thing. That's where my personal life and Sandy [merged] also. When I was younger and I'd get really angry, people would laugh, and I'd be like, "I'm mad! What's great to see every so often is when we roll down the road and there's a lot of jokes happening because we're laughing at something we're saying, and it suggests something.
Sometimes something comes out of that, and sometimes it doesn't, but it makes the whole process fun to go through. It's jazz riffing. I like watching it and I like doing it.
It feels like a workplace. It's funny. I want the kind of job where you're just hanging around with funny people. A lot of shows don't record like that. I know Roger does it all the time. We all do it because it's so stupid. It became a joke for us to do it. Nobody's writing "My leg! This was the first time collaborating with someone in the same room over one piece, rather than doing one thing and having someone come in and tear you a new one and rewrite it. But it was all fun.
Fagerbakke voices Patrick Star [36] and other miscellaneous characters. At the same time when Hillenburg, Derek Drymon and Tim Hill were writing the pilot "Help Wanted", Hillenburg was also conducting auditions to find voices for the characters.
Squidward Tentacles is voiced by Rodger Bumpass, who describes him as "a very nasally, monotone kind of guy. Krabs , SpongeBob's boss at the Krusty Krab. Hillenburg modeled Mr. Krabs after his former manager at a seafood restaurant, whose strong Maine accent reminded Hillenburg of a pirate. According to Brown, his Mr. Krabs voice was mostly improvised during his audition and it was not challenging for him to find the correct voice.
While working on the pilot episode of SpongeBob , Hillenburg invited him to audition for all the characters. This included Plankton, who was initially only set to appear in one episode. You know, we could have Bruce Willis do this voice. This is the character! This is the guy! Lawrence often improvise Plankton and Karen's dialogue. Lawrence called improvisation his "favorite part of the voice over" in Carolyn Lawrence voices Sandy Cheeks.
Her friend said to Grillo that Lawrence had "an interesting voice". Grillo invited her to audition and she got the role.
Puff 's voice. Puff has become her only regular television role; Catlett described herself as "basically retired" in , since she feels that voicing Mrs. Puff requires less preparation than her performances in person. She decided to reflect the character's size in her voice by making it deep and full in tone. In addition to the regular cast, episodes feature guest voices from many professions, including actors, athletes, authors, musicians, and artists.
Voice recording sessions always include a full cast of actors, which Kenny describes as "getting more unusual". Everybody's in the same room, doing it old radio-show style. It's how the stuff we like was recorded". Wednesday is recording day, the same schedule followed by the crew since Approximately 50 people work together to animate and produce a SpongeBob episode.
These are then used as templates by the crew in Korea, [24] who animate each scene by hand, color each cel on computers, and paint backgrounds. Episodes are finished in California, where they are edited and have music added. During the first season, the series used cel animation. It's still a time-consuming aspect of the process now, but the digital way of doing things means it doesn't take long to correct".
In , the crew began using Wacom Cintiqs for the drawings instead of pencils. The fifth-season half-hour episode "Pest of the West" was the first episode where the crew applied this method. Series' background designer Kenny Pittenger said, "The only real difference between the way we draw now and the way we drew then is that we abandoned pencil and paper during the fifth season".
Pittenger said, "Many neo-Luddites—er I mean, many of my cohorts—don't like working on them, but I find them useful.
There's no substitute for the immediacy of drawing on a piece of paper, of course, but digital nautical nonsense is still pretty fun". Since , the SpongeBob crew has periodically collaborated with the LA-based animation studio Screen Novelties to create stop-motion sequences for special episodes.
The studio produced a brief claymation scene for the climax of the first movie, [67] and was re-enlisted in to create an exclusive opening for the tenth anniversary special. This became " It's a SpongeBob Christmas! Mark Harrison and Blaise Smith composed the show's theme song. The melody was inspired by the sea shanty "Blow the Man Down". Dubbed "Painty the Pirate", according to Tom Kenny, Hillenburg found it in a thrift shop "years ago".
Steve Belfer, one of Hillenburg's friends from CalArts, wrote and performed the music heard over the end credits. The series' music editor and main composer is Nicolas Carr. He had considered a career change before Hillenburg offered him the job. The first season's score primarily featured selections from the Associated Production Music Library, which Carr has said includes "lots of great old corny Hawaiian music and big, full, dramatic orchestral scores.
It was hot and everything smelled like animal poop. A career in voiceover seemed great. The show was sweet and kind-hearted, but not candy-assed in a Care Bears way. It had everything. It had this knockabout Three Stooges kind of comedy, but also had a Seinfeld vibe: a show about nothing. I loved that juxtaposition.
There was nothing like that on TV, but nobody ever thought it would get this big. Twentysomethings thank me for their childhood. People call me SpongeBob and him Patrick. SpongeBob lives at the bottom of the sea, but he brings a lot of great stuff to the surface.
I was into Jacques Cousteau as a kid and started scuba-diving around 14, which blew my mind.
