i've watched the show more than a few times and it's pretty funny. the animations are varied and unique. i see A LOT of tv and i say "i could have written that better." but this is one of those shows that i couldn't possibly have written because i'm not quite THAT insane. it's just a little bit of lunacy to mix up your day. AND some of the themes and jokes are pretty complex and generally would fly over a kids head. i imagine that's why a lot of adults watch the show too. i haven't seen it in a long time. i think i'm due. Patrick, Plankton, and Bob's moewing snail Gary totally crack me up.
