SpongeBob SquarePants was the best show of my childhood.
This show shaped me into the sarcastic person with a dry sense of humor that I am today. Each episode held new nautical nonsense that entertained and made you happy as kid, but now that you're an adult, you can appreciate the genius of this series. The writers of this show showed us what real life was like, while keeping us entertained. I can't tell you how many times I've related something from SpongeBob to my adult life.
Here are 15 times SpongeBob taught us about how real adult life is.:
1. Season 1 Episode 5a - Pizza Delivery
As an adult, you have a job to do and you need to do it! (Even if you must ride a boulder to get there!)
2. Season 1 Episode 7a - Hall Monitor
Don't let power get to your head, you'll end up destroying the city.
3. Season 2 Episode 18a - Sailor Mouth
You probably shouldn't say, "Oh *dolphin noise*!" in a public place.
4. Season 3 Episode 7b - Can You Spare a Dime?
Two lessons can be learned from this episode. 1. Don't accuse someone of something you don't have proof of. 2. Don't take advantage of the hospitality of your friends.
5. Season 2 Episode 15b - Band Geeks
If we all work together, things might go a little easier.
6. Season 3 Episode 6b - One Krabs Trash
Don't lose yourself in fads! You don't want to end up stealing a rare, novelty drinking hat from Smitty Werben Man Jensen's grave just to make a quick buck. Also, remember to be aware of floating shopping lists. They're the real enemies.
7. Season 2 Episode 9a - Survival of the Idiots
Don't be like Dirty Dan and Pinhead Larry. Stealing will always be bad.
8. Season 2 Episode 31a - Mermaid Man and Branacle Boy III
Try to do the right thing even if it's frustrating! In the end, you'll be glad you did it!
9. Season 2 Episode 14b - Frankendoodle
Not all of your ideas will be good ones.
10. Season 2 Episode 16a - Graveyard Shift
Don't take out the trash at night. If this episode isn't motivation enough, I don't know what is.
11. Season 2 Episode 20a - Squid on Strike
Stand up for what you believe in!
12. Season 3 Episode 12a - Chocolate with Nuts
Entrepreneurship is great, but do it ethically. Don't deceive an old lady fish who is nothing but a dried up spine into buying a chocolate bar.
13. Season 3 Episode 16b - I Had an Accident
Don't let the world change how you live your life! You shouldn't live in your pineapple in fear.
14. Season 3 Episode 9b - Rock-a-Bye Bivalve
Help someone in need! Even if it's something as simple as giving someone a break from work instead of watching someone get hit in the head with a coconut on TV.
15. Season 3 Episode 17b - The Camping Episode
Take precauations and don't be a *dolphin noise* hole when people try to help you. Listen to those around you and maybe you won't get mauled by a metaphorical Sea-Bear and Sea-Rhinoceros.
