It turns out that SpongeBob was actually around in Japan way back in the 80s! Looks like Hillenburg is going to have a lawsuit on his hands when this news gets out. I can't believe we all thought he was so great when actually he just copied the idea from this 80s toy. What a jerk.

The Intertidal Zone was from the 80's, and was similar. Does that count?

 

[Ugly Barnacle]

I used to have that thing! I got it in like 2003, little did I know it was over 20 years old! :rofl2:

There was actually someone a few years ago saying they had come up with the idea for SpongeBob with a similar name in the 1980s. There was a website with a radio interview and everything, someone posted it on here.

"It is more than ironic that two working class sponges are named Bob," Walker says in his complaint. "Both characters are unemployed. Both characters live in a house concept."

1. That's not what "ironic" means.
2. SpongeBob is employed.
3. OK, SpongeBob does live in a "house concept". I can't dispute that.

Overall, I can't believe this guy lost the case. He had such a sound argument. :p

Who IS SpongeBob supposed to look like anyway? :pfft:

 

[ssj4gogita4]

A tissue box with legs.

 

[E.V.I.L]

That SpongeBob clearly had a rough day at work o.o

 

[singing penny]

that tissue box scares me.

 

[PatStar2000]

Argh, just barely bumping. >_<
Are there any more of these? They're hilarious! :p

Darnmit, I thought DMAP posted something

 

[DadMom AngryPants]

Ask and ye shall receive.

He looks like pinnochio.

 

[PatStar2000]

He looks like pinnochio.

An angry pinnochio.

 

[E.V.I.L]

An angry pinnochio.

Angry? I get more of a drunk vibe from that thing. :p
