After making a splash with its popular games, What Do You Meme? is heading to Bikini Bottom!

The growing game company inked a licensing deal with ViacomCBS to produce a range of games and pool floats based on Nickelodeon's beloved SpongeBob SquarePants.  The new line of products is expected to debut across the U.S. and Canada in time for the release of the feature film, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run on Paramount+ later this year.

SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the internet’s most ‘memed’ properties whose fan appeal spans multiple generations, making it the perfect fit for What Do You Meme?’s fan base and product line,” Tom Emelo, vice president, What Do You Meme? told The Toy Book.

SpongeBob, Patrick Star and many of their undersea companions will appear as part of the Iconic Floats brand of inflatables and in several games set to be released under the core What Do You Meme? brand.

The news follows Alpha Group releasing SpongeBob Masterpiece Memes, a range of 8-inch collectible vinyl figures based on some of the most popular viral memes inspired by the long-running series, in 2019 to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary.

Joseph R. Biden is set to become the 46th president of the United States of America on January 20, 2021. One of the notable aspects that separates the President-Elect from his predecessor is that he's an animal lover, with his rescue dog, Major, also being honored by the shelter he came from on the day of Biden's inauguration.


To mark Joe Biden's inauguration, the Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) has announced that it is hosting Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans,  a first-ever curated livestream for young Americans before and during the Inaugural Ceremonies, which will feature a special segment on presidential pets produced by Nickelodeon.

Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans will air on the day of the U.S.'s 59th presidential inauguration, Wednesday, January 20 between 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. EST, and will be hosted by award winning entertainer and advocate Keke Palmer, the star of Nickelodeon's True Jackson, VP and the host the network's Nick News: Kids Pick the President special in October 2020, in which kids correctly predicted that Biden would win the presidential election. 

Our White House: An Inaugural Celebration for Young Americans will also stream at BidenInaugural.org/youth and PIC’s YouTube channel; broadcasted by Nickelodeon and Discovery Education and steamed via their websites, apps, and social media platforms; steamed online by PBS NewsHour, Amazon Prime Video, and on ABC Owned Television Stations’ 32 connected TV Apps across Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku; and a Spanish-language broadcast will also air on Discovery Familia later on January 20.
