There are thousands of examples of Spongebob subliminal messages and this article will highlight just a few of them.
Spongebob Squarepants is an immensely popular children's cartoon. it has grown massively in a very short space of time - the show is now watched around the world - by both kids and adults alike.
It is one of the few cartoons to really take off in this way, and some say it is because the show is cleverly written so it is enjoyable for children, but contains innuendos, adult jokes, and even adult based subliminal messages. Apparently this is the factor that ensures it is enjoyed by teenagers and grown ups too.
In the Spongebob theme song there are subliminal statements if you listen to it in reverse format. There are videos which show this and the messages which have been found include the phrases:
- Squidward smokes dope
- Sh** on your multiple cannibal heart
- Show me your p***y you son of a hun
Pretty strange huh? But this is nothing compared to some of the innuendos and hidden messages and jokes which are in the actual program itself. Here are some examples:
There is a famous video of a scene with Mr Krabs, and apparently he says “Any Po*n in this store?”. This is perhaps not technically a subliminal message, as it is said forwards, it is just blurred and debatable what he is actually meant to be saying. Perhaps this is the work of the voice actor having a laugh?
There are several videos highlighting the various innuendos and hidden messages throughout the numerous spongebob episodes, and the movie. Once you know what to look out for you will see phallic symbols everywhere. There are plenty of adult sexual references, and characters calling each other homosexual.

Some subliminals are questionable, and although the messages in Spongebob are sometimes not even very “subliminal” there is nothing questionable about them. There actually are several layers with different meanings in any given episode. i.e. children watching it will see one thing, and adults will understand it on a higher level – more genius than manipulative if you ask me.
