Even More SpongeBob Trivia

Did you know that SpongeBob Squarepants is Nickelodeon’s longest-running show from the 90s? With so many episodes, movies, and extras under its belt, there’s a lot to love about the deep-sea cartoon, and even more to know. We covered some fun tidbits in the quiz, but here are even more trivia facts to enhance your knowledge of the silly sea sponge and his gaggle of friends:

  • SpongeBob’s laugh is made by voice actor Tom Kenny slapping his throat while saying “Aaaah!”
  • SpongeBob’s creator, Stephen Hillenburg, was also a marine scientist and educator, and his love for marine life led him to create the series.
  • Krabby Patties were originally called Barnacle Burgers, but the name was changed in the writing stages of the show.
  • Spongebob’s first words were “Krabby Patty” while he was still in his mother’s womb.
  • The show features a boy band named “Boys Don’t Cry” which is loosely based on bands like the Jonas Brothers.
  • The show was Nickelodeon’s first show to have over 200 episodes.
  • In the show, sea snails are modeled after cats, and worms are based on dogs.
  • According to the show's creator, Squidward is actually an octopus, not a squid, even though he is usually drawn with 6 limbs. Hillenburg acknowledged this, but argued that the name “Octoboy” wasn’t as funny as “Squidward.”
  • The series was supposed to end with The SpongeBob Squarepants movie, but Nickelodeon wanted to keep producing episodes, so the show continued.
