Nickelodeon recruited SpongeBob SquarePants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (Bill Fagerbakke) to offer live commentary on Super Bowl LVIII, and their reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs’ game-winning touchdown was priceless.
Following the format's success in other games, CBS once again worked with the kids network to bring younger audiences a more informative and lighthearted take on this year’s Big Game. This included motion-captured performances from the yellow and pink undersea duo, fit with an “Are you ready, kids?” before everything got started.
As SpongeBob and Patrick referenced past episodes of their show, the cartoonish coverage provided its own iconic moments. Some highlights saw Nickelodeon broadcasters explaining Taylor Swift’s long flight from Tokyo to the game’s location in Las Vegas, to shots of a digital Larry the Lobster running around on the field. The clip showing the reaction to the game’s overtime touchdown is the real star of the show, however, as it includes screaming hosts, a Bikini Bottom shoutout, and of course, gallons of slime shot from giant clams.
If you listen closely toward the end of the clip, you can hear SpongeBob quickly say, “And now comes the big proposal!” It’s a reference to rumors that Chief’s tight end Travis Kelce would proposal to Swift should a Kansas City victory fall in to place. To SpongeBob’s dismay, no on-field proposal came to be.
Super Bowl LVIII was huge for SpongeBob and fans alike, as it brought more than a just few oceanic gags. The evening finally saw the spongey character perform Sweet Victory with his friends. The performance took place just before kickoff, giving fans an especially cinematic take on the classic Bikini Bottom song after somewhat of a letdown during the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in 2019.

The Super Bowl is the most-watched TV event every year. And this year, Nickelodeon got in on the action with its own kid-friendly broadcast.
This year, children were taken through the play-by-play calls by the incredibly popular cartoon characters SpongeBob SquarePants (Tom Kenny) and his best friend Patrick Star (Bill Fagerbakke).
Now, people don’t often think of cartoons as being super-political. But as we know, life itself is political and therefore a few references and even a poignant life lesson or two are bound to slip through.
One such comment made by these two during the Super Bowl got many on social media talking. The pair were discussing how tiring it can be making Krabby Patties, presumably relating to how tired the football players must have been at that moment. Then SpongeBob helpfully reminded everyone, “That’s right, that’s why we have a union!” What!? A union!
Naturally, a lot of viewers took a moment to celebrate this shout-out to workers’ rights.
Exactly, Nickelodeon used a small moment to make a point that is lasting: Workers’ rights are human rights! I know I would like to know what SpongeBob’s union is called. How many people are a part of it!?!? No this isn’t the biggest deal in the world, but small moments matter and it's great that small strides are being made to bring real-world issues to younger demographics.
This isn’t the first time SpongeBob and friends have mentioned unions and labor issues. An iconic episode titled “Squid on Strike” aired a whopping 23 years ago, in 2001. Mr. Krab, the notoriously rough boss, started putting the hammer down at his Krusty Krab establishment. He started charging SpongeBob and Squidward Tentacles for things like “breathing.” SpongeBob initially was going to just accept these strict changes, but Squidward was not having it. He convinced his friend to go on strike. There was a particularly famous line from this episode, as SpongeBob chanted his frustrations.
The line went: “Krusty Krab is unfair! Mr. Krabs is in there! Standing at the concession! Plotting his oppression!”
Insider Unionanalyzed this episode and agreed that it taught important themes about workplace strikes and unions in general. For example, it showed how important unity is. Squidward explicitly told SpongeBob that they had to “unite as workers!” This is such an important message. It is going to mean something a little different to children; they may just understand the importance of sticking together as friends. But in the real world, they will come to learn that there is power in numbers and that they deserve to fight to be treated well.
