For many children that grew up in the 2000s, Spongebob was a staple for everyday television-watching. There were always marathons and reruns playing around the time school ended and all throughout the night. These children who grew up watching Spongebob are likely to recognize a quote from the show if they heard it- or are even more likely to still be using the quotes daily.

One noticeable thing about these quotes is that they are all from the older episodes of Spongebob. I don’t know what Spongebob is like now, but I’m sure its nowhere near as good as it was in the early 2000’s. Putting that aside, it is cool to see Spongebob still going strong after all these years. Long live Spongebob Squarepants.
