Just the TITLE of your post made me smile. I think that in small doses turned down low Sponge Bob is sometimes funny. I worked for a Retinal surgeon who absolutely LOVED that show and I thought that was cute (b/c my sons were too little at that time and I watched it once or twice out of curiosity of what a seemingly nerdy late 30's surgeon would find so addictively funny.

BUT...

Then my kids turned 9 or so and fell IN LOVE with the show- and Nick started playing it nearly 24/7. Now BD 3 LOVES it b/c her sibs turn it on when she's watching TV and I'm pre-occupied (ummm on ST- It's on right now as a matter of fact.) That show is unbearable to me now- like NAILS on a chalkboard when that stupid sponge LAUGHS, or his friend Patrick babbles in utter stupidity. What's funny is that the only characters I think are redeemable now, are the "villians." I cheer for Squiqward b/c I sympathize with his quest for solitude and respite from his obnoxiously unselfaware spongy and starry neighbors. I understand that why Mr. Crab is so CRABBY.

And long for the day that Plankton succeeds in his plot to take over all of Bikini Bottom.

There. I've said it. I am a miserly hum bug of all things FUN.

My FH is 48 and loves spongebob. I don't know how he could love NPR and listen to it religiously and then sit there and watch spongebob for hous like he is 5. One day I had had enough and took all the batteries out of the remotes and unplugged the tv's cuz I couldn't stand to hear him talk about patrick anymore!!! I made him go clean the garage!
