SpongeBob SquarePants is the most in-demand show on Amazon

15 March, 2022

Spongebob SquarePants tops the list as the most in-demand show on Amazon Prime Video last month. The Nickelodeon animated series has been airing since 1999, and its goofy premise has spawned hundreds of episodes and a handful of SpongeBob SquarePants films. The SpongeBob machine doesn't seem to be dying down anytime soon, either, with Paramount Pictures planning more films and projects within the franchise. SpongeBob is responsible for countless quotable moments that are recognizable to most millenials, which is no easy feat for an animated children's show.

The children's comedy series follows SpongeBob, an overly optimistic sea sponge who flips burgers and wreaks havoc around Bikini Bottom, usually alongside his best friend Patrick Star. SpongeBob is prone to annoy his boss Mr. Krabs and his co-worker/neighbor Squidward Tentacles whenever he can. The other unique residents of the underwater town also play a role, from the devious Plankton, to the intelligent Sandy Cheeks. SpongeBob SquarePants has remained successful for its odd humor that is popular for people of all ages.
