Ever since the first episode of Spongebob Squarepants aired on May 1st, 1999, the show had become a favorite to many people and had been translated in 50+ languages! The show revolves around a sponge named Spongebob who lives in a pineapple in a town called Bikini Bottom and works at a restaurant called The Krusty Krab. Spongebob Squarepants is a bright yellow sponge who finds joy in almost everything that comes his way; and who can forget his silly, high-pitched laugh?
