Never have I thought I’d be taking advice or reading inspirational quotes from a square yellow dish sponge. Here we are, and this is our article on the best SpongeBob quotes.
In all truth, I still haven’t heard a real dish sponge speak (if I did, I’d be very concerned), only the animated version. However, as you will soon see yourself, SpongeBob is one smart sponge and probably one of the wisest animated characters ever. A sponge with deep knowledge about friendships, the value of imagination, kindness, hope, and all the stuff that makes us better people.
Although you wouldn’t expect a sponge to be giving you life advice, the weird aspect of the word’s embodiment makes all of these motivating quotes even better! But, of course, nothing is weirder than real life itself, so why shouldn't you listen to an animated sponge discussing pressing matters with you?
Okay, so you caught me - SpongeBob is not, in fact, a dish sponge, but rather a sea sponge. To be more exact - a multicellular organism with a body full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two layers of cells. The more you know! And no, it doesn't have a brain, so it is probably some divine entity that SpongeBob SquarePants is channeling through him. ~Mystical~.
But enough of all this blabber, and let’s finally go to the SpongeBob quotes we’ve prepared for you! Vote for the funny quotes that stirred something inside you, and share this glorious article with any and all SpongeBob fans that you know!
