5 Truths Only People Who Didn't Watch SpongeBob Will Understand

Is it even really that good of a show?

Growing up, I was never allowed to watch SpongeBob because my parents didn't feel it was appropriate for young children. I never really minded it, it was the only show I wasn't allowed to watch so I just switched the channel whenever it came on Nickelodeon. But now that I am older, I almost feel like I missed out on a cultural phenomenon, something that is critical to my generation's sense of humor. But if you're like me and you never watched the TV show about the sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea, maybe you can relate to these as well:

1. I never watched the show but I understand the references??

Not only do I know all the characters, but I know they lyrics to the Goofy Goober Song and The Krusty Krab Pizza. I also know that the line "What are they selling? They're selling chocolate!" comes from Spongebob because I have grown up with people quoting the show all the time!

2. The memes are lost on me.

I don't find many SpongeBob-related gifs or memes funny because I don't really know what made them funny in the first place.

3. The utter astonishment that occurs when I tell people I didn't watch SpongeBob.

This has been going on since I was in the second grade and still happens today in college. People are just shocked!

4. The annoyance when you are left out of a conversation because of it.

People love Spongebob so much that they will recount every little detail possible about an episode. How does anyone remember all the episodes? Aren't there like 20 seasons at this point?

5. I realize how stupid of a show it is now.

There are people who continue to watch Spongebob even in adulthood. Now that I am older, I have watched a few episodes just to see what the fuss is about and honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe people still like it because it reminds them of a simpler time of childhood but I don't find it funny and entertaining and I'm ok with the fact that the show was not a part of my childhood.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
