Does?
Does Cinemaphile remember the period in the 2000s where SpongeBob was the most popular cartoon character? He was constantly shilled and referenced all the time in different shows.
Is he not still the most popular character with kids? They still have him all over the grocery store aisles on products and shit.
He's basically the modern day Mickey Mouse.
He still is, by a wide fricking margin. For one he makes up $8 billion in Viacoms total revenue, second literally every house in America knows his name, without fail.
Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Teen Titans Go and Rick and Morty have all surpassed him in terms of popularity.
There is a reason nobody talks about the modern Spongebob episodes.
I'm not talking about stuff like that, Spongebob is the cartoon equivalent of Minecraft, even if people stop talking about him he is so ingrained he can't be removed, you can find people that have never watched those shows or even heard of them in the US, but every just knows Spongebob.
Rick and Morty is not a kids show
I have two nephews who love Spongebob and have never watched any of those cartoons before. I think it's college kids watching shows like that, not young children.
R&M's audience is legit supposed to be college students, not young kids. Not sure why anon would bring that up.
Out of all those shows, the only show that makes sense is TTG. Maybe AT if we're talking 2010-2011.
You're living in a bubble if your seriously believe this. SpongeBob has been running for over 20 years, and has been constantly popular with children.
You live in a hilariously small bubble.
Spongebob is popular literally all over the fricking planet, the only one of those that comes close to being as relevant as Spongebob is Adventure Time, and even it is nowhere near Spongebob.
Fricking touch grass, Twitter does not represent the real world.
>Adventure Time,
The main show ended years ago and the specials are over now too, spongebob is still on the air
>Steven Universe,
Spongebob is watched by kids, not womanchild crypto-fujoshi “lesbians”
>Teen Titans Go
No it isn’t
>and Rick and Morty
Are you moronic, Rick and Morty is for the same demographic as family guy or Southpark in terms of crudity and age, the people who watched Rick and north when it first aired like ten years ago were the people who watched early spongebob 20 years ago, it’s targeted at teenagers not 7 year olds
>Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Teen Titans Go and Rick and Morty
For a time maybe (aside from SU) but those shows popularity lacked staying power. Adventure Time peaked and has basically left the social zietgiest a while ago, TTGO got over inflated on dying platform and Rick and Morty has slowly gotten less popular after ever season. Spongebob is still popular after 2 decades.
SU did have a really huge height that lasted about a year and a half, but it was basically the very definition of a flash in a pan looking back. At its peak popularity it was being directly compared with Adventure Time's peak, but it was far less enduring and it seems like everyone forgot about it even faster.
SU was internet popular not actually popular, I'm not saying it wasn't big but it wasn't anywhere near Adventure Time or Spongebob.
>Rick and Morty
>more popular than SpongeBob
>Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Teen Titans Go and Rick and Morty have all surpassed him in terms of popularity.
Nice bait.
Put me in the sticky.

Have sex
Adventure time fans have sex?????
From what I see you guys are all self inserting finn cucks haha
More sec than you have
Man shut yo dumbass up
Die
>Teen Titans Go
Only Robin is a cultural icon, nobody cares about the others.
I think more people know raven anon.
>adventure time Steven universe abd teen titans go
Cap
Even the stoner reddit show is a stretch
Ironically AT used to be considered a stoner show until it went deep and stuff.
>Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Teen Titans Go and Rick and Morty have all surpassed him in terms of popu-
Modern spongebob is way better then beanmouth crap
No
>Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Teen Titans Go and Rick and Morty have all surpassed him in terms of-ACK
DIE
>Adventure Time
Hasn't been relevant in 10 years.
>Steven Universe
Hasn't been relevant since season 2, and that was what, 2015?
>Teen Titans Go
Only popular with literal toddlers.
>Rick and Morty
Meme pick and it's also an adult show for millenials so it doesn't even count.
SU's relevance really peaked during the first half of season 3, but yeah it fell off a cliff hard after that.
Is this bait or is someone from WB trying to cope?
Spongebob is like a billion dollar merchandise juggernaught. Adventure Time and Rick and Morty at their popularity peaks don't hold a candle, and saying Steven Universe is more popular is a complete farce.
I don't know how popular Teen Titans Go is. I think lots of kids actually do watch that one.
Yeah because I'm old enough to remember the 00s in general, like pretty much everybody posting on Cinemaphile. Surely nobody on Cinemaphile would be so young as to not be able to remember the 00s right? Surely. Most assuredly. Ha ha, I don't know why I'm reiterating this, but definitely right? No doubt about it!
fr fr
>You now realize people born in 2004 are getting old enough to post here
>The gap will be closing with each passing year
>People younger than Cinemaphile are posting here now, legally
>People using the term "waifu" probably don't even realize that it originated in Azumanga Daioh
>People using the term "waifu" probably don't even realize that it originated in Azumanga Daioh
I've been here long enough to know that I'm just barely not qualified to be an oldgay and even I don't know that. Cuz I'm not a weeb. I do know that Shota was like a kid in an anime or something.
at this point we're referencing site history that either predates or coinsides with the major events of the early 2000's. Before that the internet is as wild west as it ever got.
thats like entry level realization, unfortunately you cant really find this out unless you were there which sucks this stuff and the Cinemaphile 'good times' sounded fun
>t. started using Cinemaphile this January
leave while you still can
>t. regular user since 06
last outing, once slenderman thread 404s we will never see each other again
>I've been here long enough to know that I'm just barely not qualified to be an oldgay and even I don't know that.
Seriously? AD was huge on Cinemaphile up until about 2008. If you came here before then surely you'd be aware of it regardless of if you were a weeb or not. It's like how there were threads about Death Note, Haruhi, and Gurren Lagann right here on Cinemaphile when they were airing, it was just site culture. Surely you remember the days when certain particularly popular anime series were just seen as part of the Cinemaphile experience and there wasn't a site-wide division regarding anime, right anon?
What the frick is AD? Arrested Development?
>If you came here before then surely you'd be aware of it regardless of if you were a weeb or not.
I came here because of Japan Time (so mid-late 2006) and the official oldgay cut-off is the end of 2004
>Surely you remember the days when certain particularly popular anime series were just seen as part of the Cinemaphile experience and there wasn't a site-wide division regarding anime, right anon?
Fricking weeb myth. Stop spreading weeb propaganda. Death Note was alright. Cowboy Bebop is honorary Cinemaphile. I personally dig GitS: SAC. But anime trash being "shared Cinemaphile experience" is weeb wish fulfillment.
Azumanga Daioh
>2006
Fricking doubt if you don't know what I mean immediately with that acronym
>Fricking weeb myth.
Lmao tell that to the fricking 2009 Endless 8 threads across every major board on the site.
>Death Note was alright.
I said nothing about the quality of any of these series, just that they were commonly posted about on multiple boards. Which they were.
Lol I’ve been here since 2007. That shit was always cringy; same with reaction images. Like wow, are you so autistic you can’t use words.
>Like wow, are you so autistic you can’t use words.
I know you thought this sounded like an epic pwnage in your head, but it doesn't make frickall sense dude. If you don't like reaction images that's just fricking weird, people still use those even today.
Lol I’m not a slave to board culture like all of you. I don’t need to hide behind a picture and pretend I’m that guy.
>and pretend I’m that guy.
What the shit are you on about, that's not what reaction images are used for at all. I'm inclined to believe
because how the frick could you even reach that conclusion.
It's some weird schizo autist who popped up from the Smiling Friends thread. He's been at this for days now.
>Schizo tries to claim that they're an oldgay for validity even though they're clearly very new
I've seen this dozens of times now, I think appeal to tenure must be some kind of sign of schizophrenia. Sad honestly.
That namegay guy immediately pops into mind.
The GDP = tourism schizo from Cinemaphile has tried this a few times, even though he only started posting last year. He'll claim he's been here since 2005.
>people can’t post for a long time on this board because I said so
Lol
Yeah I know what you mean, boco is I think the only schizo that's actually been here a long time. guy and industrygay also immediately come to mind as people pretending to be oldgays that just clearly have only gotten here recently.
Boco isn't really a schizo, he's just a namegay with a lot of shit takes. Compared to the legit schizos, he's a harmless nuisance at worse.
Tripgay, not namegay.
The industrygay is weird; if he's not claiming to be an oldgay he'll pretend his posting was something Molly McGee fans invented this year, despite making posts as far back as 2019.
I refuse to believe that you came here in 2007 if you don't even understand the point of reaction images on a fricking image board.
Oh gee look at this badass over here. He thinks he’s rolf from eene xD.
>Using a reaction image means you think you're that character
>Thinking I was trying to be badass by posting a confused reaction
Are you alright anon? That's not how any of this works and you're acting weirdly confrontational over nothing.
No that’s totally how it works. You roleplay into thinking you’re Captain America or some shit and thinking you’re this badass above it all straight guy. It’s cringe. You can just “I am confused”; 15 years I had to put up with this bullshit and I’m tired of being told I am newbie for speaking out against board culture.
I’m right because I’m right. I know I’m right so have fun living with being wrong since you cannot prove that I am a newbie.
Oh shit dude I'm fricking Konata, oh my God look at me I'm Konata Izumi from the forgotten anime Lucky Star. Whoaaaaa what a badass I am, whoaaaaaaaa. You... you got me schizo-sama. I vicariously live through these characters via simple reaction images. I- I concede...
Lol imagine being that guy. It’s just a website bro lol.
Oh, it's you. I saw you complain about reaction images in a thread the other day saying people shouldn't be able to post images on an imageboard and that you're totally an oldgay. have a nice day you pathetic schizo larper.

Holy schizophrenia batman
You really enjoy being wrong don’t you. I already posted my proof in both threads and yet here you are days later still seething over me being right. It’s just a website, you don’t need to be a paranoid schizophrenic about everything.
>constantly posts lol and bro in every second post
It's like he's trying so hard to give his posts that 2007 flavor.
I never said people couldn’t use image reactions btw, I just said it was cringe. Quit making shit up.
Same difference, you complain that people post images on a website specifically for posting images. An imageboard. You are moronic. If responding with images on a forum bother you so much go use r*ddit.
>Quit making shit up
Ironic considering you keep making up how long you've been here.
Just because I’ve been here for 15 years doesn’t mean I have to like every single aspect of this site. Why is it so hard for you believe me even do I’m right? Does being a slave to board culture really make you that much of a paranoid nut job?
>But anime trash being "shared Cinemaphile experience" is weeb wish fulfillment.
Unironically, literally, factually, go to hell. I was on Cinemaphile when TTGL ended and we had a fricking blast dude. Cinemaphile too for that matter if you're talking about Japan Time. Maybe due to your own circumstances in life at the time you missed it but this site went fricking apeshit. There's a good reason that "Row row fight the powah" was a huge meme and m00t even stickied the song site-wide.
>Complaining about weebs
>"Dude I totally got here in 2006"
Sure thing man, sure thing. We believe you.
I actively avoid Anime, yet I knew about that, i remember the first few monts I found this site, there was a Ruby Gloom Spam so I think it was late 2007, I do remember a lot of pedophilianow there is a bunch of hung black men instead of little girls, weird, seems this place is more educated now whit P.H.Ds and shit.
Honestly you're not alone, I didn't watch AD or GL back then either and I've been posting on Cinemaphile since early '06. My internet was pretty shitty back then and I had no space to torrent whole shows on my laptop anyway, and when I did get a better set up I used it mainly to watch older /m/ shows.
This. There’s no right way to be a Cinemaphile user, no matter what newbies say.
I bet you don't know the Secret Cinemaphile handshake.
I just know about Boku no pico because intense gay sex an dpedophilia, still needs big black men in it.
>TFW you're a Zoomer and you knew that because of the Encyclopedia Dramatica
>children born in 2010 are now entering high school
pull the trigger pooh
Not quite; the usual age for starting high school is 14 to 15 so the 2010 babies won't be entering high school until 2024. Damn if we ain't getting there though.
they'ed be in middle school by now then right? that's frankly still not all thar reassuring. its fricked to think all that's gone on while we all dicked around and jerked off to cartoons.
>Tfw late 90s zoomers are about to be the ones having to explain what the appeal to stuff was
Sorry kid. Wait about 10 years until it's socially acceptable for you to talk about your nostalgia and be taken somewhat seriously. Until then, embrace being mocked here.
Imagine someone not knowing about the 00s and feeling old. That would never happen, right guys?
I notice an obvious lack of Coconut Fred, OP.
Yes definitely. The sponge is legendary
arguably spongebob was referenced as much as buzz lightyear in those days. I swear man every cartoon in the early 2000's had their own buzz parody.
Those kids are fricking excited
>wooldoor sockbat
Why did they design him like that anyways? Why not make him a sea cucumber or something?
I assumed he was a mix of Spongebob/Stimpy
Most of Cinemaphile wasn’t even a sperm cell joining the egg in their mother’s womb in the early 2000s.
lol, bro I’ve been here since 2007. I’m literally smoking weed while browsing my phone as we speak.
>I’m literally smoking weed
OMG DUDE WEED????? SOOOOO MATURE! Where can I subscribe to your newsletter where I can give you a blowjob my man? As a fellow adult I can recognize adultitude when I see it!
I have a house and a fiancé. Not something a kid like you could claim.
Me too man, where I smoke big weeds every day! 420 my man, just... just 420.
Yes
>Does Cinemaphile remember the period in the 2000s where SpongeBob was the most popular cartoon character?
In 2004 Spongebob was the most popular TV program among COLLEGE aged adults, not Simpsons, not Family Guy.
Let that sink in.
All it tells me is that people are manchildren.
Reminder that TTG has Zack Snyder, something SpongeBob can never claim. Shows you which one is more relevant.
No
Hai guyz whut do you think of spongewardz?? cx hehe tbh i think its a pweety cyoot ship X3 altho i perfer spongerick moar 🙂
it somehow never clicked for me that the Drawn Together creature was supposed to be Spongebob until now...
Best joke for him, funny enough, came from the movie
>Well, looks like I'll have to go back to exposing myself to children.
