SpongeBob SquarePants

Caregivers are constantly looking for ways to enhance a child’s development and with the introduction of programming meant to teach and entertain, or Edutainment, many have seemingly found a way to help a child learn as well as keep them engaged. Some educational shows such as Sesame Street and Caillou help children develop both social and learning skills but not all of these shows are completely effective. While parents and caregivers have the best intentions when picking the programming their…

a red-haired Samus defeating whoever tried to give her trouble in a spaceship, or something like that. 95 - The Unicorns - I Was Born (A Unicorn) The fact that the opening riff on I Was Born (A Unicorn) sounds like a sped up version of Spongebob Squarepants’ closing credits is fitting. On their cotton candy manifesto, The Unicorns rise through failures and underachievement to become the undisputed heroes of their own…

whiskers were stained in a deep red, almost black color. “ALANA! After I’m dealing with this mysterious rat, I’ll deal with you!” What did I do to deserve this? Well, I did my fair share of transforming her into grouchy Squidward, a character in Spongebob Squarepants, but I didn’t exactly deserve a dead rodent on my pillow! Looking back at that day, I remember that it was especially hot in the mid July heatwave. The summer breeze rustled the green leafed trees. I remember the birds chirped…

the reason why I must disagree with her. Two of Ehrenreich’s assertions are that we never see characters on a show just sit there and watch TV for hours on end and that doing anything we see requires getting up from the couch. However, on Spongebob Squarepants Patrick Star is seen in many episodes just sitting in his chair…

At the age of 8, my core family consisted of my mom, dad, and little brother. My mom had recently changed her hair color to blonde, which I found odd at first. Mom was usually nice, but at that age I found her to be naggy. My dad was rapidly losing weight, thanks to a special surgery he got. I remember thinking my dad wouldn 't be the same after the surgery and it was a bad thing. Looking back I was clearly mistaken. My brother is very large for a little brother, mostly at the waist. We usually…

As Barboza said “Product tie-ins are everywhere.” he supports this by cartoons like Spongebob Squarepants and Scooby Doo having their face slapped onto anything to make a quick buck. His example would include things such as fruit snacks, juice boxes, candies, cookies, and a number of different things. Walter Wilett says “How often do you see fruits…

ABC News (2016) recommends limiting advertising aimed at preschoolers by elimination cross-promotions between cartoon characters and unhealthy food. An example of this would be having SpongeBob SquarePants being on a box of sugary cereal. This regulation will help unnecessary purchases as the favorite cartoon on the box gives one more reason to buy the unhealthy food. An obvious option, though rarely present, is providing equal time for messages…

She next classifies various animated movies as either Pixarvolt or nonpixarvolt. Among the Pixarvolt films are Finding Nemo, Over the Hedge, and while not a movie, she briefly references Spongebob Squarepants. These movies are archetypes of the Pixarvolt genre. None of these animations have an emphasis on the family or on the power of individuality. Rather, all successes come only after a team effort has been made or their own selfish ambitions…

Both my parents knew how to draw before and after I was born. I did not know of the skill that was in my blood until I saw the little, but mind blowing drawings my dad had drawn before. When I last saw my dad, he drew an awesome picture of Spongebob Squarepants. This would be a legacy worth committing to. My passion for drawing also took me to learning more skills than I already knew. A Drawing 1 class was taken during freshman year, here at Lemoore High School. That is where I drew my first…

different courtesies. Taught them how to express their emotions and thoughts, what is appropriate to talk about and what is not. Moving to a new place results in culture shock so these rules had to be taught. We also watched some TV shows, like “SpongeBob SquarePants” and “Phineas and Ferb". My students wanted to be American as they can, using Hollywood films also to learn English and explore American customs. Another thing that was mandatory for them to learn was about transportation and how to…
