Dexter's Laboratory, does have some funny frames if you freeze at the correct moment quickly.
Example:
Dee Dee with three eyes in a funny frame in the theme song.

Smeary frames are funny, that's why.

I heard that SpongeBob SquarePants also had smeary frames, but for some frames in episodes.

Examples:
#1: Mrs. Puff with the cymbals in a smeary frame, showing the amination smear, to the end of the frame where Mrs. Puff crashes the cymbals right into Harold and Mr. Krabs. (This smeary frame was in Band Geeks.)

What’s strange about SpongeBob, is that episodes with normal animation usually have smearing while it’s almost non existent in markerbob.

Anyone notice how the colors in SpongeBob have been pretty much the same since season 5
To me the season 9B colors (and even 9A somewhat) look very different. By season 10 or 11 the colors are extremely saturated to the point where it looks like a different show from earlier SpongeBob. Is it just my imagination, or have things gotten sliiiiiightly less saturated since season 13?

In Season 9B,10, 11 and 12 (and some season 9A episodes) SpongeBob is so satured that it appears to be light green. In season 13 and 14, in my opinion, colors are back to normal
I only notice that for Season 11 and 12, compare the intros with 9B & 10.

9B & 10 has SpongeBob in yellow whereas in 11 & 12 has him in a highlighter/light green color...
