Now who doesn’t love SpongeBob SquarePants? Well, nobody - unless they’ve never seen it, of course! The show has been entertaining kids and their parents for over 25 years, and it looks like it just reached a new milestone.
SpongeBob SquarePants just became the longest-running animated children's TV series ever, surpassing the PBS Kids show Arthur. Fans who grew up watching SpongeBob since its debut in 1999 have been taking to the internet to celebrate, recalling some of their favorite and funniest episodes and sharing what makes the show so special.
Hilarious Internet Reactions
People on the internet were seen expressing both their love and confusion over SpongeBob becoming the longest-running children's cartoon of all time. Let’s check out some of their funniest reactions!
"Wow I didnt know spongebob is still ongoing," said a user.
Many users were surprised to learn that SpongeBob SquarePants is still running. Maybe this news will give them a reason to dive back into the show after all these years and revisit their favorite underwater characters in action once again!
"And the Simpsons???" questioned another.
Well, this user isn’t entirely wrong. The Simpsons has been running much longer than SpongeBob with far more seasons and episodes. However, since it’s not classified as an animated children's TV show, it doesn’t qualify for this race!

Well, if we’re really talking about the longest-running TV shows, how can we forget Days of Our Lives? It’s been on the air for 60 years with over 15,000 one-hour episodes. May the force be with you if you ever decide to binge-watch it from the very beginning!
"Longest-running animated kids’ show? That’s what happens when you never pass a boating test and refuse to call in sick. Grindset," a user joked.
As this user hilariously points out, it’s truly commendable that a show about a sea sponge who hasn’t passed a driving test or taken a sick day in over 25 years has become the longest-running animated children's show!
"It's crazy to think I was 9 when the pilot came out, and now I'm 34😭," another commented.
Uh-oh, looks like SpongeBob’s big milestone has left many internet users with a harsh reminder of just how old they’ve gotten...

SpongeBob SquarePants has truly cemented its status as a GOAT in children's animated TV shows, with the internet now hoping it continues for another 25 years!
