Did 'SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake' Just Throw Shade at 'Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl'?

Since Ludosity and GameMill first announced Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl this summer, the upcoming title has become one of the most anticipated video games of the year, thanks to its roster of of characters from classic and modern day animated Nickelodeon series.


However, one of the aspects of the game that is leaving fans disappointed is that it won't feature any voice acting, not at first, anyway. And it seems that fellow game publisher THQ Nordic has picked up on that fact.

In announcing Purple Lamp's brand new SpongeBob game, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, THQ Nordic, who is distributing the game, included what may be a little dig at Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.

As part of the game's description, THQ Nordic included: "Meet all your favorite characters from the series, voiced by their original actors".

While it may just be a coincidence that THQ Nordic included that detail, with no shade being thrown at all, the timing seems seems spot on.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is released on consoles and PC on October 5. You can find out more about the game here.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is also set to be released on consoles and PC in the near future. You can find out more about the game here.

'SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake' May Contain Easter Egg to 'A Day With Spongebob' Mockumentary

Over the last couple of years, a couple of fan made SpongeBob SquarePants creations have made their way into Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, including Emo SpongeBob and the "Red Mist" from the infamous "Squidward's Suicide" Creepypasta. Now it looks another fan-made SpongeBob Easter egg is set to appear in THQ Nordic's upcoming game, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake!


A eagle eyed fan on Twitter named @mr_evaporation spotted in one of the promotional images for the game a misshaped version of SpongeBob's iconic Pineapple house, which closely resembles SpongeBob's home in a promotional image of A Day With Spongebob SquarePants: The Movie, an unproduced unauthorized 2011 mockumentary film inspired by SpongeBob.


In SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake, SpongeBob travels on a cosmic adventure when portals open up to Wishworlds full of knights, cowboys, pirates, and prehistoric snails, so it's totally possible that SpongeBob's home in one of the universes could be based on A Day With Spongebob SquarePants: The Movie.

A Day with SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie is an unproduced, "unauthorized" mockumentary that was to be distributed by Reagal Films and MVD. The film was cancelled, but the creator behind the film, who goes under the name "Mr. Orange" for privacy reasons, is still planning on making the film through a crowdfunding effort.

"Mr. Orange" wanted to create a family film that paid homage to the John Hughes films he liked when growing up. He wrote a script and reached out to a number of producers including Jonathan Salami who’s been involved in a number of films associated with Reagal. However, after discussions with Jonathan Salami and many others, it was determined that the film would go way over the budget that would be given to him.

The Reagal Films official website gives a premise to the film: “In this mockumentary, SpongeBob lives above ground like all Hollywood superstars. Afraid that SpongeBob is becoming old news, his boss runs a contest called 'Spend a Day with SpongeBob'. The contest makes SpongeBob the talk of the town, as thousands of kids enter to win. The lucky winner is Seth, and he is ecstatic about his day with SpongeBob. However, the day becomes a roller coaster ride as things don’t go quite the way they planned.” You can find out a lot more about the film on the Lost Media Archive wiki.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake will be released on consoles and PC very soon! Find out more about the game here!

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl May Include Voice Acting ‘Down the Road’

Ludosity and GameMill are gearing up for the fall release of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. Since its announcement earlier this summer, we’ve seen a variety of character (fighter) reveals and gameplay footage. However, one of the major things that will be missing from the game that fans have picked up on is voice acting. For lifelong Nickelodeon fans and fighting video game fans, the omission really stuck out. Richard Horvitz, Invader Zim's voice actor confirmed the lack of voice actors in the game in July.


Since the video’s release, the developers haven’t commented about the lack of voice acting. Plus, this game is still in development, so things could change (technically). This week though, we have a comment from Ludosity’s CEO Joel Nyström. They were interviewed by Game Informer and asked a variety of questions – from building the character roster to the possibility of DLC. Luckily, the topic of voice acting was broached.

"Many of the characters announced so far have iconic voices attached to them. Are the characters included voiced by the original actors? If so, who’s on board?

Our focus was on creating the best possible gameplay experience for core brawling fans and Nickelodeon fans around the globe. It is not as straightforward to do as one might think, and as we continue to build the Nick All-Star Brawl franchise, we will be reviewing all options, which may include adding VO down the road."

Maybe not the exact answers fans were hoping for, so be prepared to provide your own quips (“I’m ready!”, "DOOM!", "HI HO DIGGITY!", "Going Ghost!", "You Eeediot!") during matches. Hopefully, official voice acting will be added later on, especially since more fighters will be available after launch thanks to DLC. Nyström confirms that the game will launch with “20 characters, with 2 more following soon after. Additional DLC characters will be revealed after that.”

Other questions within the interview may also provide context as to what characters we should expect. In regards to representation for live-action shows, Nyström stated, “there are no live-action characters in our base lineup, and we are currently not looking at any for future characters either,” adding that, “you never know,” but the focus is mainly on cartoons due to their more wacky and creative movement potential. However, not every Nickelodeon animated character is a shoe-in either, as there were apparently “global licensing issues” for a few of the fighters that Ludosity attempted for. Doug is now owned by Disney, and Fairly OddParents in part is distributed globally by Nelvana (which is why it airs on a few Disney channels internationally).

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is released on consoles and PC on Tuesday, October 5th! HI HO DIGGITY!

Sharkdog Swims Into Netflix's Top 10 List

SharkDog has officially entered the waters of Netflix's Top 10, ranking at the sixth most-watched show on the streaming platform for Thursday, September 16, 2021!


Sharkdog is a brand new animated series from Singaporean creator Jacinth Tan. The 20 x 7 minute episode animated series is produced by ViacomCBS International Studios (VIS), in partnership with Singaporean based CGI animation studio One Animation. The series swam onto the streaming service on September 3. A second season is in development.

Sharkdog follows 10 year old Max and his best friend Sharkdog - half shark, half dog, all appetite. Blissfully unaware of his own strength, stealth and general sharkiness, Sharkdog often leaves a trail of chaos in his wake. But, like all good half-dogs, he's Max's BFF and Max is his.

Although a "Netflix Original", the series caries Nickelodeon branding.


Sharkdog is VIS' first internationally originated global animated series for Netflix. It is also the first animated series from Singapore to come out of Nickelodeon's Global Animated Shorts Program, designed to identify and develop long form original comedy-driven content for kids globally. Prior to becoming a long-form Netflix series, Sharkdog was a short-form series on the Nickelodeon Play app in South East Asia.

The series stars Liam Mitchell as Max, Dee Bradley Baker as Sharkdog, Grey Griffin as Mom, Josh McDermitt as Dad, Kari Wahlgren as Mia, and Meaghan Davies as Annabelle. The show centers on Max, a ten-year-old boy and his best friend, a half-shark, half-dog creature that has fun and gets into trouble with Max.

In addition to a second season, fans can also look forward to Sharkdog Halloween special!

Titled "Sharkdog’s Fintastic Halloween," the all new Sharkdog Halloween special will premiere on October 15th, 2021. A synopsis has yet to be announced, however, Netflix has released a couple of first look photos from the episode, which you can view below. SharkDog would make an excellent Halloween costume for any licensors reading this! Hint hint!



Here's the official synopsis on the show's Netflix page: Half shark, half dog with a big heart and a belly full of fish sticks! Together, Sharkdog and his human pal Max can take on any silly or messy adventure.

Kenan Thompson Reflects on Working with 'Pro' Chris Farley on 'All That' in the '90s and What He Learned from Him

"I learned literally a wealth of career knowledge in three hours, just watching a pro take direction,” the double Emmy nominee says about working with the late Chris Farley

It's been more than two decades since Kenan Thompson first worked with Chris Farley, and the comedian still vividly remembers being in awe of the late Saturday Night Live alum.

Before SNL, Thompson got his TV start on Nickelodeon, first appearing on All That, as a regular cast member from 1994-1999. Farley, who died in 1997, guested on the show, appearing as a chef.

"It was our chocolate sketch called 'Cooking with Randy,'" Thompson, 43, tells co-hosts Jason Sheeler and Andrea Lavinthal in a special Emmys episode of the PEOPLE in the '90s podcast. In the sketch, which aired January 11, 1997, Farley played the chocolate-loving Chef Farley, opposite Kenan's chocolate-addicted Randy.


"It was one of the greatest days I've ever seen," Thompson says. "I learned literally a wealth of career knowledge in three hours, just watching a pro take direction. But also, do what he wanted. It was amazing."

In the time since, Thompson has been part of the Saturday Night Live cast for a record-breaking 18 seasons. The Emmy winner is up for two more this year, nominated for both his work on SNL and his sitcom, Kenan. He's a stalwart of TV comedy and a legend on the set of SNL.

Thompson says he still uses the lessons he learned from Farley today.

"Strategies," he calls them. And they came into focus when he joined the cast of SNL. "When you walk through those doors and are around those people, you're on. It's time to be funny. It's not time to just be there. It's time to prove why you're there. [On the set of All That] Chris was immediately funny, giving everybody what they expected. That part of being a professional goes a long way because we still talk about him being one of the greatest to this day. And that takes serious dedication."

Becoming a double Emmy nominee takes some dedication too. Thompson says his nomination for a sitcom with his name on it has a special meaning. "That's the supreme. The sitcom was the promised land anyway for any kind of working comedian. It was either that or Johnny Carson's couch. You know what I'm saying? Those are two big pinnacle things in your career basically," he says.

"So to have a sitcom named after yourself, regardless of all the pressure, that's huge. And then, to be patted on the back for it, come on, man, it's unbelievable. So I'm just over the moon about it. And I'm taking my W right now," Thompson adds. "I will be very sauced up at the awards I'm sure."

Thompson says he felt the love from his SNL castmates the day the nominations were announced. "We all congratulated each other. It's like, who can beat each other to their phones first? But we usually talk to each other in like, a group chat."

As with any family, work or otherwise, there's always one person on the text chain who takes things too far.

SNL is no different, Thompson says. "Mikey [Day] is the craziest, and I think probably Bowen [Yang] might be the filthiest."

Thompson recently returned to his Nickelodeon roots, executive producing the all new All That with his Nick co-star Kel Mitchell, and host this year's Kids' Choice Awards.

All That and Kenan & Kel are available to stream on Paramount+. Good Burger is available on Blu-ray.

Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya's Pools are Impermeable to Water (and Slime) Thanks to Penetron

Nickelodeon Resort Pools are Impermeable to Water (and Slime) Thanks to Penetron

The Riviera Maya Nickelodeon Resort in Quintana Roo, México welcomed its first summer vacation guests in June 2021. The Penetron System was used throughout the seaside project to ensure durable and waterproof concrete structures - both above- and below-grade.


EAST SETAUKET, N.Y. -- SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 -- The Riviera Maya Nickelodeon Resort in Quintana Roo, México welcomed its first summer vacation guests this summer. The Penetron System was used throughout the seaside project to ensure durable and waterproof concrete structures - both above- and below-grade.

Located just 17 miles (27 km) south of Cancun International Airport, México’s first Nickelodeon Resort is a family beach vacation destination with a playful Nickelodeon twist. The resort’s 280 suites all offer panoramic views of the Caribbean Ocean and have direct access to the pool area. In addition, the resort has six restaurants, three bars, a spa, an oceanfront pool, and the 6-acre Aqua Nick™ water park with over 20 water slides (total length: >600 m / >2,000 feet) and 555 meters (1,830 feet) of rivers.

“Naturally, a Nickelodeon resort will play off the network’s most popular characters – and the Riviera Maya Resort does exactly that,” says Alejandro Muciño, Managing Director of Penetron México. “For example, the Pineapple Suite is inspired by SpongeBob's pineapple-shaped home under the sea; the rooftop Lair Suite is designed as an underground lair dedicated to the Ninja Turtles; and the Big Kahuna Suite is an homage to the history of Nickelodeon animation.”

A Coastal Challenge

Penetron México worked together with Benau Comercial, the Penetron distributor for the Caribbean region of México, and the general contractor to develop a complete range of waterproofing solutions, as both the below-grade and above-grade structures of the Nickelodeon complex needed protection from the coastal environment, high groundwater levels, and exposure to the tropical climate of the Yucatan Peninsula.

How to permanently waterproof a pool: The concrete in all the pools of the Nickelodeon Resort in Riviera Maya in México were treated with PENETRON ADMIX.

Local ready-mix suppliers provided PENETRON ADMIX-treated concrete for the pools (the wading pool, children’s pool, and main pool), hot tubs, the tanks of the wastewater treatment plant, and the hotel’s planter boxes. Penetron’s topical products – PENECRETE MORTAR and PENETRON – were applied to waterproof and repair the concrete roof slabs, the water slides, the pool drains of the main pool, the Lazy River and Rapid River concrete linings, the water compensation tanks, pumping tanks, machine room roof, and water park fountains.

Self-Healing Concrete

Easily mixed in during batching and unaffected by climatic conditions, PENETRON ADMIX quickly becomes an integral part of the concrete and lasts for the life of the concrete. Topically applied to concrete, PENETRON and PENECRETE MORTAR also provide the same self-healing capabilities as PENETRON ADMIX-treated concrete. Any hairline cracks that form in the concrete will permanently self-heal when exposed to water.

Alejandro Muciño adds, “Because Penetron crystalline technology becomes an integral part of the concrete matrix and provides protection against chloride ion ingress and moisture penetration, it will also significantly reduces future maintenance costs for the Nickelodeon Resort.”

The Penetron Group is a leading manufacturer of specialty construction products for concrete waterproofing, concrete repairs, and floor preparation systems. The Group operates through a global network, offering support to the design and construction community through its regional offices, representatives, and distribution channels.

Kansas City, MO - A legendary roster of Grammy Award winners... One of the world’s most beloved and unforgettable characters... Turn them loose on stage and what do you get? The undersea town of Bikini Bottom! Inhabited by an ever-optimistic yellow sea sponge named SpongeBob and his equally quirky circle of friend and neighbors: Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and even Plankton! Their pleasant existence is interrupted when it is discovered that Mt. Humongous will erupt within the next 48 hours and obliterate Bikini Bottom.  SpongeBob powerfully proves to one and all that optimism really can save the world, and shows everybody that he is not “just a simple sponge.”
