Revision as of 03:57, 3 September 2014
Template:PopTabSpongeBob SquarePants is a popular cartoon, and has been referenced in popular culture numerous times. Several of these references are from other Nickelodeon shows and shows from another networks.
In "Be A-Fred, Be Very A-Fred", a creature resembling SpongeBob makes a couple of cameos.
The Flower Clouds have also been seen on "The Grim Adventures Of Billy and Mandy" in the episode "Scythe for Sale", during the Sea Critters commercial.
Doctor Who
In "The Vampires of Venice", Rory mentions SpongeBob.
Angelo Rules
Peter has a yellow square toy. It is very similar to when SpongeBob screams in SpongeGuard on Duty. Angelo has the same toy, but it's orange.
Glee
In "Asian F", when Kurt and Rachel are flipping through TV channels, SpongeBob appears briefly.
Victorious
In "Tori Gets Stuck", Tori ask Robbie why he was wearing SpongeBob underwear, which he covers with his pillow.
In "Tori Goes Platinum", the paparazzi think Sikowitz isthe voice of Plankton.
In part one of the first season finale of the Master Pakku coyly stated to one of his students, "Nice work... a couple more years and you might be ready to fight a sea sponge." The show's creators later said in the audio commentary of Siege of the North Part I that his statement was a friendly poke at SpongeBob SquarePants.
Marvin Marvin
Marvin's host father was bitten by an alien, and started hallucinating, he then held up an umbrella and said "Here's your clarinet Squidward."
The Weekenders
In the ABC cartoon The Weekenders, there was a rock band called the "Chum Bukkit", which is probably a reference to the Chum Bucket.
An episode of The X Presidents (from TV Funhouse on Saturday Night Live) depicts SpongeBob refusing to star in a pro-Gulf War II propaganda commercial, and getting held prisoner for it. Tom Kenny provides SpongeBob's voice, which is surprising as this clip has relatively adult content.
In the opening credits of the episode "Pray Anything" of The Simpsons, SpongeBob is mentioned in Bart's blackboard gag, which says "SpongeBob is not a contraceptive."
In "She Used to Be My Girl", Lisa, needing a god to pray to, tells a newscaster she is praying to Jesus, Buddha, and SpongeBob. Then the camera shows heaven, where Jesus, Buddha, and crudely drawn SpongeBob are. Buddha asks Jesus, "Perhaps we should help?" and SpongeBob interrupts, saying "Screw her!", then laughs insanely, while Jesus shakes his head.
In "The Wife Aquatic", Marge and Lisa go to an aquatic museum where there is an exhibit that reads "The Science of SpongeBob" and it shows a SpongeBob statue next to it. Patrick Star also appears as one of molluscs photos.
In "Treehouse of Horror XX", a Frankenstein's monster was dressed in a SpongeBob costume. Later, SpongeBob told the Simpsons he was secretly very evil.
In "Angry Dad: The Movie", Bart mentions SpongeBob when he claims he likes cartoons. He says: "I've always loved cartoons, going way back to the real early SpongeBobs".
In "Yellow Subterfuge", When Krusty asks to Lisa if could sell foreign rights to your show, Lisa says that even SpongeBob did it. And she shows him an Italian parodied version of SpongeBob SquarePants on her tablet called "Spugna Roberto Quadrati Pantaloni" (Sponge Roberto Square Pants). In the show, Spugna Roberto (a parody of SpongeBob SquarePants) gives a gift to Squiduardo Calamari (a parody of Squidward Tentacles) for his birthday and says that the gift is a mine from World War II. Then, a seahorse presses the button which makes that the mine explodes and kills Roberto & Squiduardo in pieces. Then, a fish appears and says: "Calamari?", screams: "No...!" and starts crying. In the parody, Roberto lived in a watermelon under the sea. Actually, SpongeBob lives in a pineapple also under the sea in the original TV animated series from real world..
In "Wish Fixers", Timmy wishes to have running pants made of cheese, and then Cosmo calls Timmy "CheeseBoy SquarePants".
