Mommy of 3
My kids are 2 and 3.5, & they both LOVE Spongebob. But my 3 yr old got mad the other day & called a kid "You Barnacle Head!" While I did find this funny, I didn't like him getting angry & calling names. He also called someone stupid once, bc he heard it on Spongebob. There's also an episode where they think they killed the health inspector, that I don't like them watching.. but they love the show, & it is kinda funny otherwise... Am I being over-protective?
Well I let them watch it, but sometimes I feel guilty for it like bc I wonder if it's something they shouldn't be watching.
And why am I being accused of my son's name calling? He may have gotten it from somewhere, but not from my house. The only thing I could think of was from Spongebob..
It's not like I just heard him say it and didn't correct him...!? I told him it was wrong, and now he knows... God people are just so judgmental, it's unbelievable! I was just asking what other PARENTS thought of Spongebob..
Answer
Spongebob isn't going to kill him, and i'm sure he would have gotten mad and called him something different if he hadn't have heard the word barnacle head. I think spongebob does kind of cross the line sometimes. If you're marketing as a children's show, they shouldn't have so many adult jokes in it. Obviously the children aren't going to understand them... but watch a few episodes and you'll be able to name a few. It really is harmless though.
I actually regularly watch spongebob, which says something since i'm an adult and I don't normally sit down and watch children's programs. I find it funny... but the jokes in them are SOOO subtle and worded in such a way no one who is under the age of 10 is going to understand them. It's really a treat for the parents lol. Like spongebob tries to get his snail to take a bath by pretending the tub is a treasure chest, takes out two bars of soap and says, "Here are the dubloons, don't drop em ;)" Obviously a reference to "Don't drop the soap." but no child is going to remember that or it even register in their mind.
