SpongeBob SquarePants is surrounded by all types of theories, and one of the biggest ones has now been confirmed, but with an added twist that makes it a lot more sinister.
Nickelodeon is home to many beloved and successful animated series, and by far, its biggest one is SpongeBob SquarePants. Created by the late Stephen Hillenburg, SpongeBob SquarePants premiered in 1999 and has been unstoppable ever since, spawning a franchise covering spinoff shows, movies, books, and more. In addition to that, SpongeBob and his closest friends have now become a major part of pop culture.
Of course, being a cartoon aimed at children, there’s no logic in SpongeBob SquarePants nor proper continuity, but that hasn’t stopped viewers from coming up with all types of theories about it. SpongeBob SquarePants is set in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, where the title character lives and works, alongside his best friends Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks, his neighbor Squidward, his boss Mr. Krabs, and his beloved pet, Gary the Snail. Bikini Bottom is like any typical city but underwater, but it now has a confirmed origin thanks to one of the show’s most popular theories but with an extra sinister twist: it turns out that SpongeBob and his the rest of Bikini Bottom do live in a nuclear test site.
Bikini Bottom is as inconsistent as the show itself and that’s ok – after all, continuity has never been a priority for the team behind SpongeBob SquarePants. Still, this and more hasn’t been an impediment for viewers to come up with all types of theories about this one-of-a-kind city. The most popular theory about not only Bikini Bottom but the show in general is one that says Bikini Bottom was a nuclear test site. The theory comes from Reddit, and the author got inspiration from real-life history.
"Bikini Atoll was used for nuclear testing from 1946 to 1958, so according to the theory, this is why Bikini Bottom is now home to sea creatures who talk."
The author explains that Bikini Bottom is named like that because it’s located under Bikini Atoll, a coral reef in the Marshall Islands consisting of 23 islands. Bikini Atoll was used for nuclear testing from 1946 to 1958, so according to the theory, this is why Bikini Bottom is now home to sea creatures who talk, go to work, drive, play instruments, and do pretty much everything humans do, with some added cartoonish extras. Another Redditor adds that chipmunks were among the animals on board Navy vessels during the nuclear tests, which explains Sandy’s character.
The theory has some truth as Bikini Bottom was confirmed to be located beneath Bikini Atoll and one of the bombs was detonated underwater. The explosion was photographed, and every time there’s a big explosion on the show, the shape of the explosion is replicated. The theory has now been confirmed by cast member and writer Mr. Lawrence in an interview with Esquire, who said that was part of the fun of the show and how far they were taking the concept of Bikini Bottom being a nuclear test site – but this came with a twist that clashes with the rest of the franchise.
Mr. Lawrence not only confirmed that Bikini Bottom was a nuclear test site and that’s why SpongeBob and every other sea creature can talk and be pretty much humans underwater, but he also mentioned what happened to the human world. Mr. Lawrence said that the whole world is dead except for Bikini Bottom, reiterating that “the world upstairs is gone” and all that’s left is Bikini Bottom. While this gives a very sinister twist to the now-confirmed Bikini Bottom/nuclear test site theory, it doesn’t make much sense.
Surely, most of SpongeBob SquarePants takes place underwater, in Bikini Bottom and nearby places, but early on in the series there were brief appearances of humans “upstairs”. An example is the episode “Frankendoodle”, from season 2, in which an artist in a rowboat is making a sketch when his pencil slips and falls into the sea, landing between SpongeBob and Patrick. David Hasselhoff also made a cameo as himself in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
Of course, there’s also Patchy the Pirate (played by SpongeBob’s voice actor, Tom Kenny), who also made his first appearance in season 2 and went on to appear many more times throughout the show, so it isn’t entirely true that the world “upstairs” is gone and all that’s left is Bikini Bottom and its inhabitants.
Bikini Bottom being a nuclear test site is definitely dark, but it’s also greatly beneficial to SpongeBob SquarePants. As mentioned above, SpongeBob SquarePants isn’t a show that should be taken seriously and in which continuity is important, but it’s also inevitable for the audience to question many things about it. The nuclear test site theory being confirmed should bring some relief to those wondering why sea creatures can talk and do everything humans do, and it should also put an end to the old question of why fire can exist underwater – just blame it on the nuclear tests.
The theory also explains why humans aren’t so surprised to see a talking sea sponge (this is mostly seen in the movies), as they know the effects that the nuclear tests had in that area (and probably many others). Mr. Lawrence’s addition of the human world being gone and Bikini Bottom being all that’s left wouldn't make sense this far into the franchise as it clashes with both the shows and the movies, but the rest of the theory explains the biggest mysteries of SpongeBob SquarePants.

A longtime writer and voice actor for SpongeBob SquarePants confirms a popular fan theory about Bikini Bottom's origins as being correct.
There are many dark fan theories about SpongeBob SquarePants that try to explain elements of the show, such as the Chum Bucket serving actual dead fish, which is what chum is made of in real life, to Pearl being adopted after her parents were killed by whalers. However, some fan theories have also tried to explain the origins of Bikini Bottom, making sense of why the sea creatures in the underwater city have human sentience.
During a conversation with Esquire featuring all the main cast members of SpongeBob SquarePants, Mr. Lawrence, who portrays Plankton and has written multiple episodes of the show, confirmed the fan theory that Bikini Bottom was the result of nuclear testing. At about 4:16, he explained how the show represented theoretical results of the real-world atomic testing in Bikini Atoll, with the writer going further to claim the show takes place after a post-apocalyptic war. Check out what Lawrence had to say below:
Roger Bumpass: I always like the theory that the whole thing was related to the atomic testing in Bikini Atoll.
Mr. Lawrence: And that is true! That is absolutely true.
Roger Bumpass: It is true? I've been telling people it wasn't true!
Mr. Lawrence: No, yeah, that's absolutely true. That was part of the fun of it, was, how far are we taking that concept. I mean, right at the beginning when we were sort of developing it in the first season, it was like, "Are we going to play off of this apocalyptic thing?" Like, the whole world is dead except for Bikini Bottom.
Bill Fagerbakke: So the mufflers, were the mufflers a part of that? How everyone's house is a muffler?
Mr. Lawrence: Yeah, it was all different. Just, the world upstairs is gone, and this is what's left.
Lawrence's confirmation of SpongeBob SquarePants' nuclear testing theory finally answers a major mystery surrounding why Bikini Bottom is the way it is. There's also a darker implication to what the writer implies, saying the original plan was for the human world to be destroyed, or in a post-apocalyptic state. This doesn't line up with how the show is presented now, however, with human society showing up in various forms across the series and movies. However, it still proves the theory about atomic testing as canon to the franchise.
This also extends to other locations that contain various anthropomorphic fish, like New Kelp City and Bass Vegas. This indicates everything happening in the series is contained within the Bikini Atoll area, which has likely split into various factions since the first bombs dropped. While Lawrence's confirmation opens the door for further exploration of the idea as SpongeBob SquarePants season 15 continues, it could also just arrive in the form of future hints that emphasize these original ideas now that they've been confirmed. An episode of spin-off series The Patrick Star Show has also hinted at the theory.
With Lawrence having confirmed the major fan theory, it appears many clues scattered throughout SpongeBob SquarePants really were pointing to the idea being correct. It also opens the door for more theorization, especially now that it's been revealed humanity was supposed to be in a post-apocalyptic state when the series began. Although his statement answers one question, there's still plenty of ideas that fans can still analyze across the show's hundreds of episodes.

"Oh my God... The internet was a mistake." - Sean Diaz, 'Life is Strange 2' - Part 3
A new trend called "How did Dora the Explorer die?" has taken traction on TikTok over the last few days. In the trend, TikTok users are asked to Google "How did Dora die" and react to the answer.
Mostly, it is people blind reacting to the question. Given that Dora has been a part of so many people’s childhood, the answers are leaving people speechless.
What is interesting is that people have been getting different answers to the same question. For instance, one answer that is commonly found by people is that Dora had died after she drowned. Meanwhile, another popular answer is she was hit by a lightning bolt.
DID DORA REALLY DIE?
No, Dora never died on the show. In the end, Dora finally manages to reach the destination with the help of Boots the Monkey and her trusty Backpack and Map.
In the end, Dora and Boots sing their famous song: “We did it” and went on to thank the viewers who had been watching the episode. While the show had a happy ending, there are sites that have given a creepy ending to the story.
However, those are not true. In the series, Dora does not die and has a happy ending by finally accomplishing her mission.
IS THE SHOW STILL GOING ON?
Yes and no. The original series has completed its run, however, Nickelodeon and Paramount+ announced earlier this year that they are currently making two brand new Dora the Explorer series: a CG-animated preschool series and a live-action series for older viewers. The former is slated to premiere in 2023 on the streaming service. The news follows Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures releasing the live-action theatrical Dora and the Lost City of Gold in 2019.

Twitter users baffled after Googling ‘what race is SpongeBob SquarePants’ as they say ‘he’s just a sponge!’
Curious Twitter users have been left baffled after Googling the race of SpongeBob SquarePants.
A viral online article sparked the bizarre debate - leaving some cartoon fans frustrated as they fume: "He's just a sponge!"
The beloved Nickelodeon character became the centre of the bizarre row when writer Zachariah Ezer penned an essay online arguing about the race of characters in the show.
That's despite the fact the characters are underwater creatures ranging from the eponymous SpongeBob - a sea sponge - to Patrick the starfish and Squidward the octopus.
Ezer - who describes himself as a "cartoon philosopher" - wrote the lengthy piece on Medium, an "open platform" website where anyone can publish their views.
And his take on the iconic Nickelodeon animated series sent fans racing to their search engines to try to work out if the character has a human race.
One Twitter user wrote: “I never thought I’d be googling what race is Spongebob but here we are and I’m not disappointed.”
Another commented: “Google ‘what race is SpongeBob’ and get back to me.”
And, a third said: “Bro please go on google and search what race SpongeBob is.”
Other Twitter users were left confused as to why some were researching the race of the optimistic cartoon sponge.
Another asked: “What possessed someone to google this.”
And a third blasted: “Not Google giving SpongeBob a race. LMFAOO he’s a damn sea sponge.”
The Medium article claimed the characters of the show are Polynesian as Bikini Bottom is located under Bikini Atoll, according to the Encyclopedia SpongeBobia wiki.
Bikini Atoll is a coral reef located in the Marshall Islands.
Ezer claims SpongeBob is black, while Patrick is white and villain Plankton is from Latin America.
SpongeBob, who was born in July 1986, appeared in the show’s first episode "Help Wanted" back in 1999.

SpongeBob's Nuclear Radiation Theory is REAL. | Vailskibum94
A popular SpongeBob SquarePants theory reveals that SpongeBob, Patrick, and everyone else in Bikini Bottom was impacted by nuclear testing. While we haven't seen anything like that in SpongeBob episodes, The Patrick Star Show has finally answered a few burning questions.
In The Patrick Star Show's new episode, we get to see what what Bikini Bottom looked like in the 1940s. Surprisingly, nuclear tests were real. What does this say about the radioactive SpongeBob fan theory? Is SpongeBob actually a mutant?
Did The Bomb Make Spongebob?! - SpongeBob SquarePants | Channel Frederator
"For many of us, Spongebob is the first cartoon we ever watched. Well, not me, I was like… 6 when Spongebob first aired, and even then, I didn’t really watch until- none of that matters
We’re all very well-versed in our favorite sea and/or kitchen sponge that may or may not also be immortal… with intelligence. And I use the term “Intelligence” very loosely, more of an idiot savant.
He’s always ready to take on the day, making krabby patties, annoying his neighbors, Spongebob is always on the move. But SpongeBob also serves as the source of many theories. Many of which we’ve actually covered. We have a… long history of covering Spongebob on this show. We compiled seven of our favorites in a video a long time ago check that out to see me wander around Toronto because I forgot I was supposed to host that week
But in that video, one theory is featured in a video that was actually our third ever episode of Cartoon Conspiracy. So, consider this video a sort of reboot/revisiting of it. It’s one you might already be familiar with too: Are the denizens of Bikini Bottom the mutations of atomic testing?

"Oh my God... The internet was a mistake." - Sean Diaz, 'Life is Strange 2' - Part 2
Another day, another social media rumor about another SpongeBob SquarePants character dying.
TikTok users have been spending their time searching and learning about the deaths of SpongeBob SquarePants, starting with Sandy Cheeks and Squidward. Now its not too surprising that Patrick Star is the next character whose death interests viewers.
SpongeBob SquarePants is an American comedy television series created by marine science educator and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. The series became widely popular and everyone’s childhood.
Years after the iconic Nickelodeon series ended, viewers are wondering the whereabouts of their favourite characters and their deaths. Although none are real, that has not stopped fans from pretending that those are the reasons for their death. Now they are reacting to them.
Even though SpongeBob SquarePants and its spin-off series are still on-the-air, netizens seem to be obsessed with characters from the show passing away.
Patrick Star and SpongeBob are best known for their close friendship. They also happen to be next-door neighbors and have been through many adventures. Their good relationship has pulled them through many sticky situations.
Although there have been debates on who SpongeBob’s best friend is, it is clear throughout all the episodes that Patrick is the one because they both rely on each other and love spending time with one another.
According to a "deathfic" on the SpongeBob Fanon Wiki, a fan-fiction website devoted to the beloved animated series, Patrick died of food poisoning and the post states that it was during the episode "Death in the Pineapple", a non-existent episode of the series.
“Patrick died of food poisoning, in the episode Death in the Pineapple, but was revived later on,”
However, as the episode does not exist, it is just a fake theory. And as the series targets a younger audience, it is unlikely that any character will be killed off.
Over the past week, starting with the presumed death of the fictional character Sandy Cheeks, and now Squidward, TikTok users have been reacting to the surprising deaths of the Nickelodeon characters.
So far, TikTok users have shown traumatizing reactions, where they believe those to be their actual deaths but are not true at all.

"Oh my God... The internet was a mistake." - Sean Diaz, 'Life is Strange 2'
A new TikTok trend involving Squidward Tentacles from Nickelodeon's beloved animated series SpongeBob SquarePants has begun spiralling the app - and it may slightly creep you out.
In a new 'before and after' trend on the social video platform, video creators are encouraged to record their traumatised reaction after searching ‘how did Squidward die’ on the internet. The revealing answer is definitely not as lighthearted as the SpongeBob SquarePants series itself.
The first result that appears when you search for that question that in the "lost" SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Squidward’s Suicide", also known as "Red Mist", in which the anthropomorphic octopus character is supposedly shown taking his own life with a shotgun.
Most people use a particular TikTok sound, uploaded onto the platform by AntiNightcore, to take part in the trend.
During the second half of the TikTok sound, when users are showing their reactions to the search results, many appear to be shocked and somewhat traumatised.
The TikTok Hashtag #HowDidSquidwardDie currently has more than 8,000 views and is full of videos showing creators’ stunned reactions.
Throughout 13 series of Nickelodeon’s actual SpongeBob SquarePants show, none of the episodes feature any details indicating Squidward’s death.
The theory behind the answer to the question regarding Squaidward’s death is known as a Creepypasta.
Creepypastas are horror-related legends that have been shared around the Internet. The entries are often brief, user-generated, paranormal stories intended to scare readers.
As explained via Creepypasta Files Wiki, the information about Squidward’s death originates from an anonymous user on an online forum.
The urban legend was reportedly told by an intern working for Nickelodeon who claimed to have watched an episode titled "Squidward’s Suicide" which ends with the fictional character taking his own life. The urban legend is so infamous amongst fans that producers actually referenced it in an episode - before being replaced with a more innocent scene.
Unfortunately, rumors about the death of SpongeBob characters come around often, with Sandy Cheeks and Mr. Krabs also falling victim to the hoaxes.

The latest in ATLA theories suggest that Katara should have rightfully been crowned Fire Lord instead of Zuko.
The final Agni Kai between Azula and Zuko is arguably one of the most iconic moments in Avatar: The Last Airbender. This cathartic battle between brother and sister was the culmination of a deadly sibling rivalry and spending a lifetime suppressing the innate need for familial love from each other. Per Uncle Iroh's advice, Zuko needed backup when facing the powerfully unhinged Azula, so Katara joins him to face the Fire Nation Princess together.
After Zuko is struck by Azula's lightning and is left incapacitated, Katara captures Azula herself. Since she overpowers the reigning Fire Lord, does that technically mean Katara should have been Fire Lord instead of Zuko? u/yeaitsmeluigi6079 raises the question in a recent Reddit thread.
In Season 3 Episode 19, Katara is at Zuko's side after he helps locate her mother's killer. At the request of Uncle Iroh, she goes with Zuko to Azula's coronation to back him up after Iroh encourages him to become Fire Lord due to his 'unquestionable honor.' They were determined to defeat Azula, Agni Kai or not. In fact, it was Azula herself who challenged Zuko to the duel and not the other way around.
So, what is an Agni Kai? An Agni Kai is a traditional firebender duel used as a last resort to resolve personal and political conflicts. Because of its roots in tradition, the duel does have some legal deciding power. It ends when either opponent is burned, regardless of being dead or alive. Despite this, the recent regime recognizes that a fight to the death is more honorable, as remaining alive would be a huge disgrace and the loser might as well be dead.
How does Katara come into play? In the end, Zuko was incapacitated, technically losing the Agni Kai and making Azula the official Fire Lord. Despite this, Katara effectively usurps and captures Azula, overpowering the Fire Nation's official ruler. Ozai, who was busy losing to Aang, gave up the Fire Lord title to become the Phoenix King. If viewing this situation outside of the Agni Kai, it is Katara who left the battle victorious, therefore achieving the title of Fire Lord even for a brief moment before healing Zuko.
Yet, an Agni Kai doesn't exactly help choose the next Fire Lord. A new Fire Lord is chosen when a reigning Fire Lord designates one of their heirs to the succession in preparation for the future. This is seen when Azulon chooses Ozai instead of his firstborn Iroh, and again with Azula instead of Zuko.
Another argument presented by u/wrong-mon suggests that Zuko's legitimacy is in question due to his banishment. Ozai also once again strips him of his rights after he joins Team Avatar and subsequently betrays the entire country. His legitimacy was only validated by Iroh, who is not the reigning Fire Lord. Still, there is his birthright to consider, which itself cannot be changed no matter how hard Ozai tries.
Still, if Katara were to become Fire Lord, the consequences could be devastating to the world of ATLA. Fire Lords can only be powerful firebenders, and Katara is a waterbender. Rulers from different nations are possible, but this doesn't happen without a fight. Something like this could mean all-out war between the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes. Katara as Fire Lord could bring a definite end to the delicate balance between the nations Team Avatar fought so hard to achieve.
The entire purpose of the Avatar is the bring peace to the four nations, yet the Fire Nation along with the rest of the world viewed Aang with distrust. Understandably, the Avatar hasn't been around for 100 years and most people weren't alive to comprehend the Avatar's power and influence. The fact that the Avatar returned in the form of a seemingly incompetent child further proves this point. Needless to say, if Zuko lost the Agni Kai that day and Aang ordered the Fire Nation to refuse Azula the throne, he would be faced with outrage and a civil war would surely devastate the nation.
In the comics, the people of the Fire Nation didn't see Zuko as a legitimate leader because of his banishment and the shame that came with it. Still, as pointed out by Reddit user u/Sinister_Blanket, he was with the Avatar who eventually won the Fire Nation over when he spared Ozai. Combined with this newfound trust by association, Zuko's birthright and honor bestowed by Iroh, Zuko's ascension to the throne couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Since Team Avatar captured both Azula and Ozai and stripped the latter of his powers, the Fire Nation was briefly without a ruler. Zuko would have been the only right choice in order to promote and preserve the balance between the Four Nations.
Geopolitical ramifications in the world of Avatar are something viewers can now appreciate as adults, and it adds an extra layer of complexity to an already incredible series. The comics and novels explore these complicated dynamics even further, so they are an essential read in order to comprehend what really was at stake. Whether on the side of Fire Lord Katara or not, she was definitely a key factor in creating the balance that would ultimately save the Four Nations from self-destruction.
A complex theory about SpongeBob SquarePants might solve some of the show's biggest mysteries. Here's what you need to know about the "skin theory".
SpongeBob SquarePants has been the subject of many theories, some darker than others thanks to , and there’s one that has caught the attention of fans for its complexity and its conclusion: the skin theory, which might change the perspective of some viewers. Nickelodeon has seen various animated TV shows that have become very popular with viewers of all ages, but none has had the same impact as SpongeBob SquarePants. Created by Stephen Hillenburg, SpongeBob SquarePants made its debut in 1999 and has since become one of the longest-running animated series, with over 10 seasons and counting, and that has also made way for a bunch of theories and different interpretations on the show and its characters.
SpongeBob SquarePants takes viewers to the bottom of the ocean to visit the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, where the title character and many other colorful characters (both allies and enemies) live and get involved in all types of trouble. SpongeBob is often accompanied through his many adventures by his best friends Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks, his neighbor and coworker Squidward Tentacles, and his greedy boss Mr. Krabs, as well as his pet snail Gary, who joins the fun from time to time. Bikini Bottom has a bit of everything, and it has also seen some strange moments, though these are often justified by the show being an animated one, but that isn’t a good enough explanation for some viewers.
Cartoons are often at the front and center of many theories, and SpongeBob SquarePants hasn’t been safe from them. The latest in the vault of SpongeBob theories is that of “the skin theory”, which originated from a (very long and detailed) YouTube video and has been discussed in social media and online forums, becoming viral. The theory basically focuses on all those instances where characters in SpongeBob SquarePants ripped their skins off, wore costumes of other fish or characters, inserted themselves in the bodies of other characters (like that one time SpongeBob took over Mr. Krabs’ shell), transplanted body parts, etc, all of which happened more often in the first four seasons, which were written and overseen by Hillenburg himself.
The author of the theory suggests three theories on why SpongeBob SquarePants does all these skin-related things, and the first one is “The Ritual Aspect”. This theory suggests a parallel between why humans wear masks and the characters in SpongeBob, focusing on the act of wearing masks to represent and channel deities and spirits and also drive out demons, so the characters could be wearing costumes and other skins with that purpose, especially when it comes to getting rid of the Flying Dutchman, the closest there is to a supernatural entity in Bikini Bottom. Next is the “Mass Psychosis Element” theory, which is all about how people go insane at the same time in the same way and with no real physical explanation, which gives a simple reason to the skin theory: all characters in SpongeBob SquarePants are insane.
Last but not least, is “The Costumed Human Hypothesis”, which basically says that all characters in SpongeBob SquarePants aren’t sea creatures: they are just humans in disguise, meaning that Bikini Bottom isn’t real, and this also explains all those instances in the show that defy logic, such as the characters using fire, drinking water, etc. “Skin Theory” has drawn a lot of attention, and while it’s a fun theory, it does feel like a stretch to try to find a reason for something that is just meant to make the audience laugh and is intended to be nonsensical – but, like in almost all theories, fans of SpongeBob SquarePants are the ones who will decide if the theory makes sense or not.

An anonymous Nickelodeon staffer addresses the canonicity of the popular fan theory that argues SpongeBob SquarePants has a radioactive origin.
A popular SpongeBob SquarePants fan theory asserts that Bikini Bottom is part of Bikini Atoll, a real location in the Marshall Islands that saw several of the United States' hydrogen bomb tests between 1946 and 1958; that lingering radioactivity transformed an ordinary sea sponge into Nickelodeon's iconic underwater fry cook. While the theory has been regulated to fan forums and YouTube explainers for many years, a member of the network's creative promotion department shared their thoughts about its canonicity.
The staffer, who chose to remain anonymous out of fear of professional reprisal, told Cracked that the Bikini Atoll theory is more or less considered canon by those who work on or adjacent to SpongeBob SquarePants. They described how the theory functions "as well-accepted fanfic" and how it and other popular fan theories often crop up during in-house discussions of the show.
"I think every strong fan base comes up with their own explanations for things that are left open-ended, either intentionally or through negligence," the staffer said. "SpongeBob has one of the most loyal and wide-ranging fanbases around -- I'm sure there are tons of theories we've never heard about."
Supporters of the Bikini Atoll fan theory offer several pieces of evidence in its support, including the show's 1940s fashion aesthetic, references to Bikini Atoll from an unverified script that purports to from the show's pilot episode and an image of an explosion from the 2001 episode "Dying for Pie" that resembles a mushroom cloud.
For the anonymous staffer, Rock Bottom -- the strange city where SpongeBob got lost after riding the wrong bus home in the show's first season -- is what eventually sold them on the theory. "One thing I've heard that really sold me was that Rock Bottom, according to this theory, is a huge nuclear crater -- which definitely offers an explanation of the creatures there," they said.
It is important to note that a Nickelodeon representative seemingly quashed the legitimacy of the Bikini Atoll theory in an email statement to Cracked, writing "the show is set in Bikini Bottom." However, according to the staffer, "it's not in the best interest of the show" to officially confirm the theory. "I think it's more fun to imagine that it's true than to know it for sure," they explained. "If one day they decided to address it in an episode, that would be a different story. And a news-worthy one at that."
"SpongeBob will live forever - whether he's radioactively immortal or not," the staffer concluded.
The first twelve seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants as well as Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Yra are available to stream on Paramount+.

A random Creepypasta-esque document is making the rounds on the internet leading some SpongeBob SquarePants fans to believe Mr. Krabs has been killed off.
A PDF titled The Trial of SpongeBob SquarePants has hit the internet, depicting the crime scene of the death of Mr. Krabs, the owner of the Krusty Krab dining establishment where SpongeBob works in the show.
The document begins with Mr. Krabs being found dead inside his restaurant, and the coroner concluding that his death was caused by a metal spatula. SpongeBob, Plankton and Squidward are all named as potential suspects for Krabs' murder.
In the proceeding 'trial,' SpongeBob's friends, including Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks provide their witness testimonies.
Sandy testifies that SpongeBob was desperately in need of money because the bank was going to repossess his pineapple house, while Patrick said that SpongeBob told him, “Mr. Krabs is a greedy pig. He’s gonna wish he’d given me a raise!”
Although Plankton began selling crab burgers following Krabs' death, he affirmed in the fictional that he did not steal Mr. Krabs’s Krabby Patty secret formula and that he did not kill Mr. Krabs.
Squidward allegedly saw SpongeBob enter the Krusty Krab restaurant two hours before Mr. Krabs was found dead.
There was no conclusion to the document.
The PDF originates from SPS186.org, which is the website for Springfield, Illinois public school District 186. It could be thought that The Trial of SpongeBob SquarePants is a school project or fan-fiction that has accidentally-turned-viral. At the moment, it's safe to presume that Mr. Krabs is alive and well in the beloved Nickelodeon series.

SpongeBob SquarePants' flower clouds add lovely color to the Nickelodeon series. However, one theorist believes these flowers aren't clouds at all.
Nickelodeon / CBR.
SpongeBob SquarePants is a beloved animated series that's been airing for over two decades while putting a fun twist on undersea life. The Nickelodeon cartoon is stylized to evoke the feeling of summer vacation on an island getaway, complete with a houses that look like a giant pineapple and an Easter Island head. The series also satirizes some common ocean activities, including fishing, where SpongeBob and Patrick risk their lives swinging on fish hooks. However, one theory suggests that the flower clouds in the "sky" are another clever nod to the surface world.
The Reddit theory suggests that the flower clouds are not clouds at all but boat propellers. At first, the idea seems outlandish and a bit of a stretch, but upon closer inspection actually makes a lot of sense. For starters, each flower cloud has leaves that vary in number from three to five. Most boat propellers also have the same amount of fins. Even though the clouds don't look like propellers in the cartoon, science may have an answer for that.
The flower clouds are distorted and reflect different colors, but this could easily be explained by the light refracting the propellers and bending the shapes as a result. Its colors could also be explained as algae or the prism of light being reflected thanks to the sun. The spacing between the flowers and size also justify them being propellers because they are often spread out and incredibly huge compared to the much smaller characters in the show. Further adding evidence to this theory are a handful of episodes that showcase how the propellers are more than just flowers.
A couple of episodes feature the flower clouds as solid objects that could even be dangerous if mishandled. One example is in the episode "Karen's Virus," where Plankton's computer wife develops a virus that changes her personality. During a violent outburst, Karen throws a boat mobile at one of the flowers, causing it to fall out of the sky. The film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water also shows flower clouds falling from the sky in greater numbers. While accidents with boat propeller malfunctions aren't common, they aren't impossible. Theoretically, it's logical that the characters interacting with the flower cloud propellers could cause them to fall off the boat and onto the ocean floor.
Possibly the best example of the theory is in the episode "SB-129," when Squidward travels through time. When trying to escape the future, he is sent too far back and ends up in the prehistoric era. Walking out, the background is a greenish-brown without a single flower cloud in sight. According to the theory, this is because boats and propellers didn't exist in this timeframe.
For now, the truth behind the flower clouds has not been confirmed. While SpongeBob SquarePants' characters also acknowledge them as flowers, it's hard to deny the subtle evidence suggesting that there's more to them than meets the eye. Considering that boats and humans have interacted with the SpongeBob universe on more than one occasion, it's entirely possible that the lovely flowers in the sky are just distorted boat propellers attached to ships. This would also justify why there were so many fish hooks for SpongeBob and Patrick to swing from. For the most part, the flower clouds are unimportant to the many stories within the series. But on the rare occasions that they play a role in the narrative, it becomes harder to discredit that they may be attached to something much larger.
