Hey guys, new here but big gb fan. So have you guys heard about that SpongeBob study that said SpongeBob makes People dumber because the scenes constantly shift? I always watch SpongeBob and am an teen in highschool, its dumb [imho] to be saying that SpongeBob is making me dumber. Its actually educational for kids I guess, but its really entertaining and funny...what are your thoughts?

Well it seems to have made you dumber. 
 
Sorry, I kid. I kid. But there's nothing educational about SpongeBob and without you linking or referencing these "studies", I can't really give my opinion on them.

I thought that Spongebob Squarepants was dumb when I was 12. Does that make me smart?

no. if i remember correctly, the study that said that only said you'd be less responsive in situations directly following the viewing of the cartoon. it wasnt conclusive at all.

Lol, it's kinda like that episode where Mr. Krabs sold krabby Patties and SpogneBob was deprived of water in Sandy's dome and SpongeBob was like "I NEEEED ITTTTT" in Sandy's Dome trying to breathe air because he needed water.

Did you know there was a recent study that portrayed 99% of studies being false and the last 1% is this survey telling you the rest are all fake?

Yes.

Those are two different episodes. In fact, I'm fairly certain that the first one is just 40% of all SpongeBob episodes.

The OP is all jacked up. The study claimed that Sponge impaired children's thinking. Children.

I thought the study showed that it made kids more susceptible to ADHD, not make them dumber. There is a difference.

That is perhaps the best thing I have ever seen! And I grew up watching Spongebob, and I like to think that I am pretty smart. I'm only 16.

I don't get what makes spongebob funny or good or whatever. Never thought it was good as a kid and still don't think it is good now.

Yeah, those first few years of Spongebob were fucking boss, it went downhill quick though, like most good things. I think the last thing I remember being truly was when the pirate found the 'lost episode' of spongebob and it was just:

it's just that for a little kid, sponge bob does all the heavy lifting. Ed. cartoons on the other hand try to get the child to think. To blame it for instilling stupidity on an active level is stupidity in itself. Prob. some politically correct assholes who want to trade away all fun for the kid or are envious of the draw. Having said that, I'm a firm believer in PBS etc.

i guess so, because i also thought sponge bob was dumb when it first aired. i hated the show, and still do.  i'm not the brightest bulb in the box.
 
i would say maybe it does make you stupid. it makes people have ADD since it's always crazy scene jumping.

Dont be silly guys, a tv show itself wont make you dumber. Staying inside watching tv for days will though.
