Reviewed as the most popular American animation series over the last ten years, SpongeBob SquarePants show has made a history in entertainment. The father of the characters is a former marine biologist, Stephen Hillenburg who created the show through the company he owned: United Plankton Pictures.

There is no continuity between the episodes in SpongeBob SquarePants show, which makes it perfect for anyone to watch it without having to refer back to previous contexts and events. Many of the characters have a tragic fate, but they are soon returned to normal. Eugene Krabs’ restaurant in Bikini bottom gets destroyed several times, and every time it seems like it’s the end.

This episode registered the largest audience level in the entire history of the SpongeBob SquarePants show. Then, one further reflection of the series into the music world was at the initiative of Metallica consisting in the release of t-shirts featuring Patrick and SpongeBob playing live with the group members.
