There is a beach too, where a lifeguard looks out for people who might be drowning, despite everybody already living under water.
In another episode characters make a camp fire, only to be amazed how it can burn, whereupon it instantly fizzles out.
Nevertheless SpongeBob behaves like a real sea creature would when he leaves the water: he starts dehydrating. Still from: 'Band Geeks' Silly comedy and wacky animation like this are two of the series' trademarks.
The show is infamous for featuring random silly moments, often through goofy facial expressions and preposterous reactions.
Since the title character is a sponge he can bend his elastic body into all kinds of bizarre shapes. He can even play flute on his nose.
A lot of comedy comes from SpongeBob's joyful attitude. He is blissfully unaware how weird he comes across and totally oblivious that he annoys people like Squidward.
His enthusiasm often goes to zany extremes. In 'Sleepy Time' he actually flies into other's people's dreams, because he wondered so much what others dream about at night?
Patrick's dimwittedness is also hilarious. In 'Life of Crime' he eats a chocolate bar and instantly forgets this, accusing SpongeBob of stealing his portion.
He can get mad for ludicrous reasons, but is easily fooled as well. The show features many other unforgettable eccentric characters and silly moments.
In 'Your Shoe's Untied' SpongeBob tries to find someone how can help him tie his shoes, but since most of his friends are fish and invertebrates they don't even have feet!
A fan favorite is the episode 'Band Geeks' , in which Squidward tries to train a marching band in one week, but has difficulty getting them organized.
Yet underneath all the wackiness, 'SpongeBob' often tells heartwarming and meaningful morals. In 'Not Normal' SpongeBob tries to fit in with the rest by pretending to be normal, only to find out that his quirks are what makes him special and feel good in the first place.
In 'The Paper' he has fun with a piece of gum wrapper. Squidward is baffled, irritated and eventually intrigued by it. He sells off all his possessions just to buy it from SpongeBob.
Yet when he finally has it he discovers it's just a piece of paper. It was SpongeBob's imagination that made the wrapper so much fun, not the object in itself.
Hillenburg always insisted starting off with a simple premise and let the plot be driven forward by the characters' personalities. Unlike most TV shows 'SpongeBob' uses no fully worked out scripts, but just a short outline on two pages.
Storyboard artists then work the content out further, adding several extra gags and dialogue in the process. He moved over to the animation department in Success 'SpongeBob' has always been an odd combination of a harmless kids' show with an eccentric streak.
Contrary to many other animated TV shows since the s, it doesn't rely on pop culture references or irony.
It's both timeless and innocent. The comedy is smart without alienating young viewers or being childish and meandering.
Appealing to all ages 'SpongeBob' quickly rose from a cult show to become Nickelodeon's most popular program of all time.
By the mids 'SpongeBob' was a universal cultural phenomenon. In Germany various official music albums sang by the German dub cast have been released, outside the official English-language dubbing albums.
In China 'SpongeBob' is one of the few foreign shows not banned by the local government. In February a video of Russian soldiers and marines singing the 'SpongeBob' theme song while drilling became a YouTube hit.
But the most unexpected corner of the Earth where the show found a strong fanbase is the Middle East, where deserts are far more prominent than water.
In Ramallah, Palestine, there is even a real-life version of the Krusty Krab restaurant since During the Arab Spring SpongeBob emerged as a symbol of rebellion, though not in the way Western media would imagine it.
He is used as graffiti, a fashion statement and during public demonstrations, all because people like him far better than any of their recent heads of state.
During a celebration of the Libyan revolution on Tahrir Square one man was photographed dressed up as SpongeBob. It even worried some authorities.
In June Iranian goalkeeper Sosha Makani was suspended for wearing yellow dotted trousers which looked like SpongeBob's face and were therefore interpreted as rebellion against the government.
It's only a slight exaggeration that SpongeBob is almost a new religion. These minor criticisms aside, the show remains both a critical and commercial success.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown and U. President Barack Obama, who declared him "his favorite TV character. Media adaptations 'SpongeBob' inspired a tidal wave of merchandising, including a theatrical musical and three movies.
The next two films were TV movies. Covers for Spongebob Comics 1 and In Stephen R. The Halloween episode of the following year was created by Michael T.
In the environmental nonprofit organization Heal the Bay awarded Hillenburg the Walk the Talk Award for raising public awareness about marine life.
The next year the celebrated animator was given the Princess Grace Statue for his cultural achievements. Final years and death In Hillenburg resigned as SpongeBob's showrunner, but stayed on board as creative advisor.
He still reviewed and approved every new episode before it aired. He was later offered a job on the Nickelodeon animated television series Rocko's Modern Life — after his success with The Green Beret and Wormholes both , short films that he made while studying animation.
The show has aired continuously since its premiere in Hillenburg resigned as showrunner, but Nickelodeon continued to produce more episodes after he departed the series.
He went back to making short films, with Hollywood Blvd. Hillenburg co-wrote the story for the second film adaptation of the series, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water , which was released in Hillenburg was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS in , but stated he would continue to work on SpongeBob SquarePants as long as possible.
He died on November 26, at the age of Hillenburg Jr. When an interviewer asked him to describe himself as a child, he replied that he was "probably well-meaning and naive like all kids.
Hillenburg also developed his interest in art at a young age. An illustration which he drew in third grade, depicting "a bunch of army men She liked it because, I mean, obviously that was in the middle of [the Vietnam War ].
She was, I would imagine, not a hundred percent for the war like a lot of people then. I had no idea about the implications, really, because I just thought it was a funny idea.
I remember that still, that moment when she said, 'oh my gosh, look at that'", Hillenburg elaborated. He was "knocked out" by the foreign animated films, including Dutch animator Paul Driessen 's The Killing of an Egg He attended Savanna High School in Anaheim, [4] [9] [13] describing himself as a " band geek " who played the trumpet.
But by the time I got to the end of my undergrad work, I realized I should be in art. After graduating from college, Hillenburg held various jobs in , including as a park service attendant in Utah and an art director in San Francisco, before landing the job he wanted: teaching children.
Working there, I saw how enamored kids are with undersea life, especially with tide-pool creatures. While working there, one of the educational directors asked him if he would be interested in creating an educational comic book about the animal life of tidal pools.
Hillenburg made his first animated works, short films The Green Beret and Wormholes [31] , while at CalArts.
They funded one of the projects I'm most proud of, even with SpongeBob. It provided me the opportunity just to make a film that was personal, and what I would call independent, and free of some of the commercial needs," he said in Hillenburg explained that "anything goes" in experimental animation.
Although this allowed him to explore alternatives to conventional methods of filmmaking, he still ventured to employ "an industry style"; he preferred to traditionally animate his films where each frame is drawn by hand rather than, for instance, make cartoons "out of sand by filming piles of sand changing".
Hillenburg's first professional job in the animation business was as a director [21] [24] on Rocko's Modern Life — , [3] [21] [23] Nickelodeon 's first in-house cartoon production.
Fortunately, Joe Murray saw my film Hillenburg worked closely with Murray [41] on Rocko's Modern Life for its whole run on the air. It took me a few years to get [ SpongeBob SquarePants ] together.
During the production of Rocko's Modern Life , Martin Olson , one of the writers, read The Intertidal Zone and encouraged Hillenburg to create a television series with a similar concept.
At that point, he had not even considered creating his own series: [7] "After watching Joe [Murray] tear his hair out a lot, dealing with all the problems that came up, I thought I would never want to produce a show of my own.
I wondered what it all meant. I didn't see a synthesis. It was great when [my two interests] all came together in [a show]. I felt relieved that I hadn't wasted a lot of time doing something that I then abandoned to do something else.
It has been pretty rewarding," Hillenburg said in As he was developing the show's concept, Hillenburg remembered his teaching experience at the Orange County Marine Institute and how mesmerized children were by tide-pool animals, including crabs , octopuses , starfish , and sponges.
They have fire. They take walks. They drive. They have pets and holidays. As a result, he decided to focus on one main character: the weirdest sea creature that he could think of.
This led him to the sponge: [7] "I wanted to do a show about a character that was an innocent, and so I focused on a sea sponge because it's a funny animal, a strange one.
Bob the Sponge is the comic's "announcer". I think as far as cartoon language goes he was easier to recognize. He seemed to fit the character type I was looking for—a somewhat nerdy, squeaky clean oddball.
Elements of Kenny's own personality were employed in further developing the character. While pitching the cartoon to executives at Nickelodeon, Hillenburg donned a Hawaiian shirt , brought along an "underwater terrarium with models of the characters", and played Hawaiian music to set the theme.
Nickelodeon executive Eric Coleman described the setup as "pretty amazing". It's the most charming toon on television, and one of the weirdest.
Like Pee-wee's Playhouse , SpongeBob joyfully dances on the fine line between childhood and adulthood, guilelessness and camp, the warped and the sweet.
SpongeBob SquarePants was an immediate hit. This programming change increased the number of older viewers significantly.
When you set out to do a show about a sponge, you can't anticipate this kind of craze. We just try to make ourselves laugh, then ask if it's appropriate for children.
I can tell you that we hoped it would be liked by adults. But we really thought the best we could hope for was a college audience.
I never imagined working on the show to this date and this long. It never was possible to conceive that. I really figured we might get a season and a cult following, and that might be it," Hillenburg said in during the show's tenth anniversary.
In , Hillenburg halted production of the show after the third season was completed to focus on the making of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie which was released in [63] "I don't want to try and do a movie and the series at the same time.
We have 60 episodes and that is probably as many as [Nickelodeon] really needs. It is a standard number for a show like this.
I have done a little research and people say it is just crazy doing a series and movie at the same time. I would rather concentrate on doing a good job on the movie," he noted.
The review-aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes rates it 68 percent positive based on reviews, with an average rating of 6. Its consensus states in summary, "Surreally goofy and entertaining for both children and their parents.
After completing the film, Hillenburg wanted to end the series "so [it] wouldn't jump the shark. And I thought now was a good time to step aside and look at a different project.
I personally think it's good not to go to the point where people don't want to see your show anymore," Hillenburg said in I think they would want to maintain the original concept and quality.
In , Tibbitt announced on his Twitter account that Hillenburg would return to the show. However, he did not specify what position the former showrunner would hold.
Tibbitt also wrote the story with Hillenburg, [81] [82] who "[had] been in the studio everyday working with [the crew].
So Paul [Tibbitt] and I are really going to brainstorm and come up with fresh material. Despite its widespread popularity, SpongeBob SquarePants has been involved in public controversies.
In , a promotional video showing SpongeBob and other characters from children's shows singing together to promote diversity and tolerance was attacked by an evangelical group because they saw SpongeBob as being used to "advocate homosexuality ".
Although the character has enjoyed popularity with gay viewers, Hillenburg had already denied this in , clarifying at the time that he considers the character "somewhat asexual ".
From to , the company published SpongeBob Comics , a comic-book series based on the cartoon. According to Jeff Lenburg, in his book Who's Who in Animated Cartoons , Hillenburg was co-writing and co-directing a second animated feature film based on Rob Zombie 's comic-book series, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto , which was slated for a release.
In , [7] he began working on Hollywood Blvd. It takes forever. It's just really about people in our town. He was known informally as "Steve" among his family, friends, and fans.
She went on to say, "He doesn't want people to know about his life or family. He's just a really funny, down-to-earth guy with a dry sense of humor who puts his family first and keeps us on our toes in keeping our corporate integrity.
I have no real interest to be on camera or to be a celebrity. It's not that I don't like people, but I like having my privacy.
Hillenburg, with his wife Karen, had endowed numerous projects and organizations through the United Plankton Charitable Trust, [] [] which the couple established in In education, they had invested to schools, including the Polytechnic School in Pasadena which their son attended , CalArts, and the Humboldt State University.
Hillenburg disclosed to Variety magazine in March that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS , a fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord.
He released a statement to the publication, in which he said that he would continue to work on SpongeBob SquarePants "for as long as [he is] able.
We ask that our sincere request for privacy be honored during this time. He died at his home on November 26, , at the age of The cause of death was heart failure that was caused by ALS.
During the halftime show for Super Bowl LIII , the performing band Maroon 5 arranged to use a clip from the SpongeBob episode " Band Geeks " which uses the song "Sweet Victory" as part of a spoof of a football halftime show during their show as a means to pay tribute to Hillenburg.
The show has also received several other awards and nominations, including 17 Annie Award nominations, winning six times, as well as winning two British Academy Children's Awards , out of four nominations.
In , Heal the Bay , an environmental nonprofit organization, honored Hillenburg with its Walk the Talk award. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

SpongeBob Squerpants in 4D❤ (Rip stephen hillenburg)Stephen Hillenburg Video
People Pay Tribute To Stephen Hillenburg The Creator Of SpongeBob - RIPDecades later, a few images from this comic would be reprinted in the first issue of 'SpongeBob Comics' While still taking courses Hillenburg made his first animated shorts.
At the same festival Hillenburg met animator Joe Murray in whose studio he would soon be employed, after graduating with a Master of Fine Arts in It featured a group of anthropomorphic animals, among them title character Rocko the wallaby.
Hillenburg was initially just a scriptwriter, executive story editor and animator on the show, but by its third season he was promoted to become a director and producer.
When 'Rocko's Modern Life' came to an end, one of the writers, Martin Olson, read 'The Intertidal Zone' and strongly encouraged Hillenburg to create his own animated series.
He assembled a team of animators, mostly former colleagues from 'Rocko's Modern Life', and developed 'SpongeBob'.
Originally his name would be "SpongeBoy", but it turned out there was already a similarly titled mop product and character by Bob Burden.
The show is set at the bottom of the ocean in a city named Bikini Bottom a pun on the bathing suit and the Bikini atoll. SpongeBob is a happy, enthusiastic and optimistic sponge.
Like the theme song mentions "he lives in a pineapple under the sea" with his pet snail Gary. SpongeBob has a positive outlook on life. He is always out to have fun and treats everybody with the same respect.
SpongeBob may appear to be like a child, but he is actually old enough to learn how to drive. Nevertheless he constantly fails his driving test to the panic of his instructor, Mrs.
Spongebob earns his income by working in a local restaurant, Krusty Krab, alongside his grouchy co-worker and next-door-neighbour Squidward Tentacles.
Krabs is the owner. He doesn't care much about the well-being of his customers, nor his co-workers. Earning and particularly saving money are his highest concerns.
Like his name implies he is a crab, but his teenage daughter, Pearl, is a sperm whale. Krabs' rival is the green copepod Plankton who also runs a restaurant and constantly hatches schemes to obtain the secret formula of Mr.
Krabs' Patty burgers. SpongeBob's best friends are Patrick, a utterly stupid pink starfish, and Sandy, a squirrel in a diving suit.
Style 'SpongeBob' has a very creative set-up. All the buildings in SpongeBob's hometown are composed out of ship wrecks, steering wheels, anchors, nets, sails, fishing rods, crow's nests, surf planks and other nautical objects.
Other elements are influenced by Hawaiian and Polynesian culture, such as tiki statues, shirts with flower motifs and ukelele music on the soundtrack.
Thanks to Hillenburg's maritime knowledge he was able to find inspiration in many real-life sea creatures and other ocean phenomena. But he and his crew delightfully play around with the concept, often turning logic on its head.
SpongeBob goes out catching jellyfish in the same way humans would catch butterflies with a net. There is a beach too, where a lifeguard looks out for people who might be drowning, despite everybody already living under water.
In another episode characters make a camp fire, only to be amazed how it can burn, whereupon it instantly fizzles out.
Nevertheless SpongeBob behaves like a real sea creature would when he leaves the water: he starts dehydrating. Still from: 'Band Geeks' Silly comedy and wacky animation like this are two of the series' trademarks.
