Remember Bubble Bass, the orange-clad grumpy bass fish from SpongeBob SquarePants? The legendary fry cook once tortured our beloved SpongeBob with his infamous burger order: the Double Triple Bossy Deluxe — and you can’t forget the pickles. 

Here’s what Bubble Bass orders, in the most extra culinary jargon possible: “on a raft, four by four, animal style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.”

The culinary YouTuber Binging with Babish attempted a real-life version of Bubble Bass’s menu order, creating a patty melt so intense, it needed a special tinfoil brace to keep it from intact.  Read more…

Why is SpongeBob so damn meme-able?

Evil Patrick. Blurry Mr. Krabs. Primitive SpongeSpongeBob Squarepants‘s finest episodes may have long since aired, but the show, a perfect show, continues to delight in meme form.

SpongeBob memes have been an internet mainstay for the larger part of the 2010s. In fact, you’ve probably seen at least one Tired SpongeBob on Twitter today. Last month, the “Krusty Krab vs. Chum Bucket” meme enjoyed its moment in the sun. Before that, it was Evil Patrick, or Savage Patrick, depending who you ask. That one was so powerful that even brands got in on the fun — several weeks late, of course.

One musician’s string quartet arrangement of your ’90s TV faves will get you nostalgic

TwitterFacebook

If you’ve ever thought to yourself “I want the soundtrack of my life to be the Pokémon theme song, but played by a string quartet” then you’re in luck.

YouTube user Aaron Gage shared this delightful string quartet mashup of ’90s kids theme songs that he arranged himself. There’s the aforementioned Pokémon theme, the iconic Spongebob Squarepants song, and the haunting melody of Dexter’s Laboratory — and that’s just a few of the songs.

And in case you were wondering, Gage doesn’t have three identical brothers: that’s him playing four different instruments.

It’s all that childhood nostalgia, but with a sophisticated edge.  Read more…

Finally, another way to tell everyone which pizza chain you prefer.

Hot on the heels of Evil Patrick, another Spongebob Squarepants meme is making the rounds on Twitter. This one lets you compare two things — Marvel vs. DC, for example, or two members of One Direction — using the Krusty Krab (a good, delicious restaurant) and the Chum Bucket (trash).

For instance, the person below prefers McDonald’s fries to Burger King fries. For what it’s worth, this is the correct opinion.

The hidden tech behind ‘SpongeBob SquarePants, The Broadway Musical’

TwitterFacebook

The Palace Theatre is submerged in an ocean of darkness. From the blackout, dozens of screens shine bright, dotting the darkness with their blue-white glow. In the shadows, technicians huddle over monitors, designers whisper into headset microphones, and the pitter patter of typing on keyboards crackles through the room.

The scene looks like a NASA control room, but we’re not at mission control for a space flight — we’re in tech rehearsal for SpongeBob SquarePants, The Broadway Musical, the new theatrical adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon cartoon, directed by Tina Landau

The theatre buzzes as the show’s creative team sets the final light and projection cues of the musical’s climactic scene, building each moment light by light, animation by animation during a process called cue-to-cue. Suddenly, with a stage manager’s call, light bursts onto the stage, plunging everyone into the technicolor sea that is Bikini Bottom. Read more…
