 Spongebob Trivia 
              
                | • | Painty the Pirate Painting, who sings the SpongeBob SquarePants
                  theme song, uses a chroma key for the moving lips. The lips
                  are actually those of Stephen Hillenburg, and the voice is
                  of Patrick Pinney. |  
                | • | If one looks closely, Patchy The Pirate appears to be lip-synching. |  
                | • | According to the insider book SpongeBob Exposed, the
                  creator of the show, Steve Hillenburg, said that the policy
                  of his show is to not do jokes about or reference pop culture
                  and current events; the show's characters are isolated from
                  the real world. He wants his cartoon to be a timeless classic.
                  Hillenburg has said that he intends to pass that concept over
                  to the new people in charge of the show. Although the show
                  occasionally does make reference to pop-culture, the examples
                  are never specific, except when Sandy Cheeks refers to her
                  real-world place of origin, Texas. |  
                | • | Almost every episode has a non-animated sequence. |  
                | • | A Dutch production company called Boom Chicago made a parody
                  of the show being aired in China. It opens with Chairman Mao
                  in place of the pirate, and has SpongeBob sporting a bowl haircut
                  and slanted eyes. The main premise of the 2 minute, 15 second
                  video is going to work, which Patrick doesn't want to do, and
                  his actions get him into trouble with the Chinese army. |  
                | • | The show is referenced in other Nicktoons. In the The
                    Fairly OddParents episode, "Wish Fixers", Timmy wishes
                    to be CheeseBoy SquarePants. In other Nicktoons, the show
                    is also referenced somehow. |  
                | • | The 5 International maritime signal flags on the roof of
                  the Krusty Krab spell out R, I, [nonexisting flag] U, K. |  
                | • | The show uses words and phrases which are used similarly
                  to real-life expletives, such as "barnacles", "tartar sauce" and "fish
                  paste". |  
                | • | Nicktoons Network aired a St. Patrick's Marathon (on March
                  19, 2006) in honor of St. Patrick's Day. The sponsor for the
                  marathon was Patrick Star, because of his namesake. |  
                | • | SpongeBob squarepants ability to play the ukulele could be
                  a reference on Tiny Tim's musical style. |  
                | • | Gender Equality campaigners have noted that for the four
                  major male characters (SpongeBob squarepants, Patrick, Squidward
                  and Mr. Krabs), there are only three major female characters
                  (Mrs. Puff, Pearl and Sandy, although Pearl appears as a greedy
                  vacous character much like her father). Although some other
                  major female characters have been featured, such as Mama Krabs,
                  Mrs. SquarePants, and Karen. |  
                | • | The 4th wall has been broken a few times in this series.
                  It is usually broken seeing a TV showing this series. |  
                | • | The SpongeBob SquarePants theme song has a lot of history
                  to it: The theme song, primarily based on the sea shanty, "Blow
                  the Man Down", is the principal song used in the series. It
                  is sung by Painty the Pirate Painting, voiced by Pat Pinney,
                  and can be found on the soundtrack, SpongeBob SquarePants:
                  Original Theme Highlights. This song is popularly misattributed
                  to "Weird Al" Yankovic. A cover of the song by Avril Lavigne
                  can be found on The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (soundtrack).
                  A choral version was recorded for the SpongeBob Christmas special
                  where the last words, "SquarePants", were replaced by "Christmas
                  special". |  
                | • | In the French version of the theme song video, the instances
                  of the text reading "SpongeBob Squarepants" is changed in some
                  way. When the bubbles reading SpongeBob Squarepants appear,
                  that is changed to a single bubble resembling SpongeBob. When
                  the 4 banners come together to form the words SpongeBob Squarepants,
                  a large outstretched Spongebob, ala Hooky appears. And when
                  SpongeBob and his pants bounce on the words SpongeBob Squarepants,
                  the words are changed to rocks and the backgrounds are changed
                  to an outdoor background. |  
                | • | In the photo day episode of Ned's Declassified School
                    Survival Guide, the SpongeBob SquarePants mascot costume
                    appears. |  
                | • | Even though the show is based underwater, the characters
                  can only swim in goo, in Goo Lagoon and in swimming pools.
                  Also, some episodes have featured fires. In "Life of Crime",
                  however, Patrick questions that how can there be a fire if
                  they are under water. The fire then goes out. Also in "Party
                  Pooper Pants", when SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick get there
                  invitations to the party and the writing is all smudged, they
                  talk about the things that can't occur underwater. So they
                  throw the letters into a fire. |  (source: Wikipedia, All text is available
