In the theme song, the Spanish “Bob Esponja” goes way harder than “SpongeBob SquarePants”
Someone in France tried to name their kid “Bob l’Eponge” and a judge refused to allow it
Still better than the dipshit that got stopped from calling their kid “Nutella”
That must be the European French version. In Québec, the threat of anglicisation is too great to allow him to keep an Anglo-Saxon name like Bob, so it’d be Jean-Bertrand l’Éponge or something.
They wanted to teach kids about important historical figures in Quebec, so his name is René Léponsge
On the plus side they were probably very good at saying “A few moments later” with the proper accent.
the thing is the narrator is clearly faking a French accent. It doesn’t sound remotely like a real one
I mean it still has to be understood by English-speaking children
I genuinely remember asking “pourquoi ils ne l’appelent pas SpongeBob aussi?” to whoever made those French dubs. It kinda made me pretty confused.
And yes, I was an avid SpongeBob fan back in the day. Not so much anymore.
Sponge = éponge in french
I think they just bullied you because you’re French.
As they should.Why are you perpetuating such a shite, tired prejudice?
You are correct. Stuff like this can be funny in the correct context like “2westerneuropean4you” or similar. But anglos repeating it on and on is not only toxic and xenophobic, it’s also incredibly unfunny and uninspired.
The prejudice that we are likely to mistrust or stereotype people who are different than us / not in our tribe? The one that is biologically hardwired into us and can’t only be beaten with legitimate focused effort? That shite and tired prejudice?
Actually yes, exactly that one. It’s not the neolithic age anymore.
Holy shit, you solved it! So we tell the children everywhere that it’s not the neolithic age anymore, and they will all rightly override the old parts of their brains and not tease each other for being different!
With any luck, they’ll also realize they won’t need wisdom teeth and decide not to grow those either.
I’m guessing you’re American.
It’s ok that you have a misunderstanding about how different nationalities interact with eachother in Europe
The whole of western Europe has this level of sarcasm that an American brain can’t even fathom, and a love for their fellow Europeans that you definitely can
We will absolutely rip the piss out of eachother, and pretend we hate the very sight of eachother, then upon meeting a person of a different nationality, spend the entire night drinking and laughing and taking the piss, and the next day comparing national hangover foods
Americans read sarcasm as aggressive because they are, Europeans read sarcasm as a joke because they are 😂
TL/DR Fuck you
I’ll read this as the friendly sarcasm then. And a hearty and jovial “fuck you” as well, my euro brother 🥰
You make the world boring
DOWN WIZ ZE FRENCH!
The French killed their monarchs and I think that makes them much cooler than the English.

Just wait until you get to Dexter’s lab with the omelette du fromage.
In France does this scene have him saying “omelette with cheese”?
L’Bob Epongère!
Hum, I’m French living in France and my son is only allowed to watch shows if they are in English. Is he going to be bullied?
