For now, let’s talk about the yellow Sponge character a lot of us grew up watching.
There seems to be a routine happening where fans like to ruin our childhood and come up
with dark theories about our favourite movies or cartoons.
Well, Spongebob Squarepants is now on that list and today I’m exposing the Top 10 Dark
Theories About Spongebob Squarepants.
Let’s get started!
10) Starting off our crazy list is the theory that Spongebob and his friends are all on
drugs.
This theory’s not too much of a stretch, considering some of the animators were probably
on drugs when they were coming up with half the stuff in Spongebob.
There are definitely some characters that seem like they could have some sort of drug
addiction.
For starters, Spongebob is always bouncing off the walls, has a crazy imagination, and
loves blowing bubbles and catching jellyfish.
He’s clearly on some kind of hallucinogenic all the time like shrooms or acid.
Squidward, on the other hand, must be into heroin or another downer drug.
Because he’s always super moody, avoids eye contact, and would rather play music than
deal with people.
The theory continues that Mr.Krabs and Mrs.Puff are the cocaine users who are super intense
and on edge.
One is constantly paranoid about his money and the other about Spongebob crashing her
boat.
And then of course there’s Patrick- a classic stoner stereotype.
He’s laid back, loves doing nothing, and constantly has the munchies.
Someone set these guys up with some rehab.
9) Coming into number 9 with the theory that Squidward’s penis is literally on his face.
Although most people consider Squidward a squid, for obvious reason, he’s actually
an octopus.
Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of Spongebob, verified that Squidward is actually an octopus
because they liked the shape of the head better.
But Squidward only has 6 legs, not 8 like an octopus.
So really, he’s neither?
Either way, he has another defining feature that seems a little out of place: his nose.
Fans have created the theory that Squidward’s nose is actually his penis, hence why he never
felt the need to wear pants.
The theory goes even further to say that a squid and octopus have their reproductive
organs in their head, very near to their beak.
SO basically Squidward’s “beak” is actually his penis.
Maybe that explains why he’s such a dickhead all the time.
8) At number 8 we have the theory that Mr.Krabs is a Cannibal.
You know how Mr.Krabs keeps his Krabby Patty formula as a super top secret?
Well there may be more to his reasoning than just trying to prevent Plankton from getting
his dirty little hands on the recipe.
Everyone in Bikini Bottom Is addicted to the Krabby Patties, but they might not be if this
theory is true.
What if Krabby Patties were made from actual crabs?
Think about it.
The only other crab we ever see on the show Mr. Krabs mother, with the occasional out-of-town
crab.
So, where are the rest of them?
IN THE PATTIES!!
Fans have gone even further to point out the fact that every menu item has the key ingredient
in the name.
Which would mean that KRABBY patties are in fact made of crabs.
That’s just sick.
7) Sliding into the number 7 spot is the theory that the “Karate Choppers” episode is
a metaphor for sex.
Tell me I have a dirty mind, but this theory seems pretty legit.
In season one of Spongebob, there’s an episode called “Karate Choppers”, where he and
Sandy become obsessed with doing karate.
The fan theory basically suggests that you replace every instance of karate with the
word “sex”.
Allow me to demonstrate.
I’m going to do a replay of the episode; every time I say karate, replace it with the
word sex.
Okay here we go…
SpongeBob looks around for Sandy because he wants to do karate with her.
She's not there so he settles in to watch some TV… but then Sandy sneaks up on him
and starts engaging him in some karate.
Later that night, SpongeBob tries to do phone karate with Sandy over the phone, but she
blows him off.
Then they proceed to do karate in public places like the supermarket and outdoors.
SpongeBob becomes so distracted with his obsession for karate, he can't even focus at work.
As you can see, there might be something to this theory...
6) Moving onto number 6 we have the theory that Bikini Bottom is a result of nuclear
testing.
One of the most talked about fan theories says that Bikini Bottom resides under Bikini
Atoll; which is a coral reef in the Marshalls Islands, where the United States did a fair
share of nuclear nesting in the 40’s and 50’s.
Apparently, Nickelodeon acknowledged the connection at some point, but no mention of Bikini Atoll
appears on their website any longer.
The theory continues to say that all the Spongebob characters are all goofy looking because they
are all mutations due to the nuclear radiation.
It sure would explain how weird everyone is and the fact they can talk at all.
Which oddly enough, the government compiled data on the effects of radiation on undersea
wildlife following the nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll.
Hmmm… this seems a little fishy.
5) Half way through the list at number 5 is the theory that Spongebob’s main characters
represent the Seven Deadly Sins.
The seven deadly sins are cardinal sins taught within Christianity; behaviors or habits are
what classify these sins.
The theory goes that Gluttony belongs to Gary the snail, the bottom feeder who never stops
eating.
Lust could belong to either Spongebob who’s obsessed with getting a driver’s license,
or Pearl, who’s boy crazy.
Greed is clearly Mr.Krabs, who once sold Spongebob’s soul for $62 cents.
Sloth is given to Patrick because we all know no one is lazier than him.
Wrath should probably be Squidward’s middle name, since he hates Spongebob and Patrick
so much.
Envy goes to Plankton who envies the success of Mr.Krabs and is always trying to steal
that Krabby Patty formula.
And then we have Pride, which plays out in Sandy who thinks she’s “hot stuff” being
from Texas and all.
Now, it’s probably unlikely that their behaviours were intended to represent the 7 deadly sins,
but it’s still a dark theory that fans are sticking by.
4) In number 4 we have the theory that Spongebob is about Pre-World War II Germany.
This disturbing fan theory puts Spongebob and his crew in the setting before the rise
of Hitler and the Nazis.
In this crazy scenario, Squidward represents Hitler – who was fed up with Germany’s
inferiority complex after World War I.
In one of the episodes “Squidville”, it’s Squidward’s dream to live among his kind
where sponges and starfish are not welcome.
The theory goes that SpongeBob represents the Jews and Patrick represents the average
German citizen who has become complacent and resigned to their own fate.
We do see that Squidward is an excellent public speaker in the episode “Squid on Strike”,
but we never see him organize a systematic extermination of an entire race.
I think it’s a bit of a stretch especially for a kids show.
Some even say the creator Stephen Hillenburg seems to have German heritage (because of
his last name) so maybe he actually did insert some historical significance in there?
I’m not sure how I feel about this one.
3) Another absurd theory at number 3 we have the theory that SpongeBob is a tampon.
This one is hysterical.
Fans have made videos explaining how Spongebob could infact be a tampon.
The main evidence behind this theory is 1) He’s crazy absorbent, like a tampon.
He’s known as a sponge out of all items they could’ve picked.. so maybe that was
planned?
2) He lives in Bikini Bottom.
Another valid point.
And 3) One of his best friends is named Sandy Cheeks.
Which is what you get when you sit down on the beach.
You guys probably think I’m crazy for this one.
I didn’t make this one up but like.. it kinda makes sense?
Just think about it for a second.
2) The number 2 theory is that SpongeBob is meant for adults, not kids.
If you’ve watched SpongeBob as an adult at all, then you’ve probably recognized
at least a few of the adult themes that have snuck into episodes here and there.
This theory suggests that just about everything under the sea has mature connotations.
Fans have taken this crazy theory to the internet suggesting how things in the cartoon are suggesting
adult material.
One example they’ve named to back up this theory is that SpongeBob is a sponge, which
is known as a form of contraceptive.
And since Spongebob likes to catch Jellyfish, that compares to how a contraceptive likes
to catch…well, you get the hint.
Now, I could continue to inappropriate list of ways that this show implies sexual subjects,
but I think I’m going to leave the rest up to you.
The list goes on and on and ends with the suggestion that ALL of this takes place in
Bikini Bottom, and that alone suggests something that kids shouldn’t be watching.
1) Here we are at the number 1 theory that SpongeBob is Gay and a threat to children.
What???
While most of these ridiculous fan theories are all in good fun, this one stands out to
be more disturbing than anything.
In the Ukraine, The National Commission for the Defense of Morals, deemed Spongebob as
a threat to children.
Apparently, a “psychologist” believed the content in the cartoon would turn kids
into criminals and perverts because it promotes homosexuality.
Keep in mind this wasn’t the first time the cartoon was attacked for being pro-homosexual.
It started when the creator pointed out that sponges are asexual.
In 2005, an American Conservative Christian organization called Focus on Family, called
SpongeBob “insidious” after the cartoon was featured in a video promoting tolerance
of different cultures and identities.
In fact, The New York Post found five different controversies in the last 15 years where Spongebob
came under fire for offending someone of this.
It’s just a cartoon people!!
Well, there you have it.
10 ridiculous and quite disturbing fan theories of a childhood classic cartoon.
