Sponge bob is very interesting as an adult viewer because the show has an almost obsession with the economics of daily life. Spongebob has a job. Starts businesses. Worries about getting fired and having to go on welfare or unemployment. You got Patrick who is explicitly unemployed. Squidward who dreams of pursuing his passions but is stuck in a low wage dead end job. You got mr krabs who is a. Wage thieving greedy manager. And you got jokes like this. This show is in dire need of some Marxist analysis
“spongebob is in dire need of some Marxist analysis” is not the hot take i expected today
