You see, back when Stephen was around, classic Spongebob was actually funny, the episodes was funny, the scripting, and the characters makes it fun, but, after Stephen died (Rest In Piece) the episodes become more badder and very disturbing.
Patrick starts acting more of a jerk than a best friend to Spongebob, he and Spongebob are more obnoxiously stupid to the point it makes you wonder, why didnt Spongebob end with 3 seasons and the movie. Bubble Bass becomes way more annoying, sure he is funny but still, his body is like a truck driver and the mind of a toddler. Planktons whole purpose is now stealing the Krabby Patty Secret Formula like thats his character trait. The Squidward torture in the past was funny, but now, they just make him your average punching bag since he is miserable. Mr Krabs, still keeps his same personality but way more meaner and less funny, sure he is a tightwad but cares more about his job, health and money than his employees, but dont get me started with the NEW characters, the one character that pisses me off the most is NARLENE, apparently, everytime shes on screen, she ALWAYS gotta involve her feet, literally in “Sandy, Help Us!” and in her bio, feet is her way of tasks. Nobby wasnt that annoying because he isnt like Narlene, tho he is a Narwhal and is stupid, at least he is more likable.
So overall, Modern Spongebob is very unfunny, gross, obnoxious, and ruined Spongebobs career.
Rest In Peace Steve
