SpongeBob
SpongeBob SquarePants may be the most memed cartoon character ever created. Since arriving in Bikini Bottom in 1999, the endlessly optimistic fry cook has become a cultural phenomenon — spawning movies, memes, and an entire generation of internet humor.
But critics argue SpongeBob’s chaotic energy can’t compete with the comedy legends who came before him. Is he truly the defining cartoon character of the modern era, or just the internet’s favorite reaction image?
The generational battle always comes back to one matchup: SpongeBob SquarePants vs Bugs Bunny.
