Ohhh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants! The talking sea sponge and the surreal, nautical, absurdist animated comedy series named after him have become pop culture icons over the past 19 years since he first appeared on Nickelodeon. The show has since aired more than 200 episodes.
Series creator Stephen Hillenburg, himself a former marine biologist, originated the ideas and characters for the show as an educational comic book that was never published. Luckily, he reworked the idea as a cartoon. He subsequently reached a wider audience with his stories and has simultaneously educated millions of children across the world and entertained them, too.
The biggest fans of the show will do just fine showing off their knowledge of the series and its characters in this quiz, although simple minds like that of SpongeBob's sweet and well meaning, yet very dim friend Patrick Star will struggle with this quiz. Only true fans of the talking sea sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea, who have been following his adventures from the very beginning and even went to the theater to see his two movies, will be able to ace this quiz. Got what it takes? Give it a go!
