April 19, 2008 | Contests
I tried really, really hard to hate Spongebob Squarepants. I mean, he’s insipid. He’s inane. He lives in a pineapple under the sea!
But it was not to be. I find him hilarious, against all of my better judgment. Alas.
If you (and your kids) do, too, you might be interested to know that I have a copy of the Spongebob’s Pest of the West DVD sitting here, just waiting to go somewhere it’ll be properly appreciated. Could it be to you? Maybe!
For a chance to win this DVD, leave a comment on this post before 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, April 20th, 2008. One comment per person and all that jazz. Winner to be determined by random number generation and electric jellyfish.
Go!

April 19th, 2008 at 2:04 pmI’m with you—tried to hate it, but I ended up liking it. My 9-year-old got his little sister to like it. So funny to hear her singing the songs!
April 19th, 2008 at 2:14 pmBeing #4 is definantly risky for a win. lol But then again I have been all other numbers and never won … ha ha!!
I too tried to hate Spongebob… I even swore my kids would never watch him. But I like him and they do watch.
April 19th, 2008 at 2:15 pmYeah Spongebob!
April 19th, 2008 at 2:21 pmI still don’t like Spongebob, but both my kids do!
April 19th, 2008 at 2:36 pmWho lives in a pineapple under the sea? SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! F*U*N!
April 19th, 2008 at 2:36 pmMy husband likes Spongebob more than my daughter. But that theme song is something, isn’t it?
April 19th, 2008 at 2:43 pmMy newphew lovs SBSP.
April 19th, 2008 at 2:45 pmI can’t help it either - I love Spongebob. It’s such a darn clever show.

April 19th, 2008 at 2:51 pmMy son will love you if I win this!
April 19th, 2008 at 3:03 pmOh, how spongebob has invaded us all. I love Spongebob too. And my nephew loves him even more - his bedroom is even in Spongebob colors. He’d love this DVD! Please pick me!
April 19th, 2008 at 3:03 pmIronically my girls are watching Sponge Bob at this VERY MOMENT!
April 19th, 2008 at 3:04 pmWho lives under a pineapple under the sea?

April 19th, 2008 at 3:24 pmMy kids love Spongebob, and I hate to say that I think some of the episodes are funny…
April 19th, 2008 at 3:30 pmI would love this for The Boy please!
April 19th, 2008 at 3:46 pmI hated SpongeBob until the movie came out. It still gets annoying after an hour or so, but the kids seem to enjoy it.
April 19th, 2008 at 3:50 pmMy kids love Spongebob! And this could increase my coolfactor by the power of ten!
April 19th, 2008 at 3:53 pmOh, I love SpongeBob. There is a quote for almost every life situation in that absurd show. Plankton is just too, too funny.
April 19th, 2008 at 3:54 pmSpongeBob is my favorite cartoon! (And my son’s, too.)
April 19th, 2008 at 3:55 pmSigh. I know. I want to be totally annoyed, and I AM annoyed—but I also think he’s kind of…nice.
April 19th, 2008 at 4:16 pmpick me pick me!
April 19th, 2008 at 4:18 pmMy second-born’s first word? “Bunjbah” (spongebob). Dang, I’m an excellent parent.

April 19th, 2008 at 4:31 pmsave me from PBS monotony!
April 19th, 2008 at 4:33 pmSpongebob is my daughter’s favorite show and I actually kinda like it too.
April 19th, 2008 at 4:35 pmSpongebob! I, too, find him funny against my better judgment.
But it’s my sons who are the true fans of Mr. Squarepants in this house.
April 19th, 2008 at 4:35 pmme me me me me me
April 19th, 2008 at 4:35 pmOh, I do hope I win this one. Sadly, I watch the show along with my kids and find myself entertained. Thanks!
April 19th, 2008 at 4:43 pmMy daughter loves Spongebob!
April 19th, 2008 at 4:43 pmUm, is it wrong that I’m 25 and don’t have kids but still want this?
April 19th, 2008 at 4:45 pmThat’s one cartoon that doesn’t drive me crazy when the kids are watching it
April 19th, 2008 at 4:58 pmThis would be cool!
April 19th, 2008 at 5:00 pmI am a huge Sandy fan!!
April 19th, 2008 at 5:11 pmPlease pick me, oh pretty random number generator!
April 19th, 2008 at 5:14 pmPlease pick me!!!
April 19th, 2008 at 5:14 pmWe are watching SpongeBob RIGHT NOW. It’s actually quite clever - too bad it gets such a bad rap! Thanks for the contest, Mir.
April 19th, 2008 at 5:17 pmSpongeBob is a favorite in this house (well, with at least one of us)…
April 19th, 2008 at 5:18 pmI’m in. Why not. Can’t resist a sponge who is best friends with a squirrel.
April 19th, 2008 at 5:31 pmI have resisted the charms of Spongebob, but alas, my son has not.
April 19th, 2008 at 5:33 pmMy kids love him, alas. I’d love to have it.
April 19th, 2008 at 5:46 pmMy husband has made a very rational argument as to why SpongeBob is a good role model, as far as the choices go in the cartoon world:
1. He is gainfully employed
2. He does his very best each day at work.
3. He has a pet he takes care of.
4. He’s friendly to everyone, no matter how dumb or cranky they are.
5. He does his best to have a good attitude each and every day.
Dude’s got a point.
So, anyway, we’d be over the moon to win the DVD! Thanks for the contest.
April 19th, 2008 at 5:48 pmMy son loves Spongebob! I secretly enjoy the show as well, but don’t tell him that!
April 19th, 2008 at 6:02 pmSquare Bob sponge pants. This is my sons favorite program.
April 19th, 2008 at 6:14 pmDaddy and the girls *love* SB. Mom . . . not so much
April 19th, 2008 at 6:18 pmOh how the kidlings like their Squarepants!
April 19th, 2008 at 6:23 pmI’d love to win some peace and quiet…
April 19th, 2008 at 6:23 pmMy boys LOVE SBSP and I do not. It has become their special thing to do with their Grandpa who is coming to visit in a few short weeks. They would be thrilled beyond belief if we won this dvd! thanks
April 19th, 2008 at 6:23 pmlove him!
April 19th, 2008 at 6:39 pmOh, for the love of crabby patties, I’d like to win this.
April 19th, 2008 at 6:58 pmooohhh! this might be fun!
April 19th, 2008 at 7:10 pmWe love Sponge Bob!
April 19th, 2008 at 7:16 pmHere’s to admitting that I love Spongebob.
April 19th, 2008 at 7:23 pmGo Spongebob! I tried to not like him either, but who can resist?
April 19th, 2008 at 7:25 pmI hate Spongebob . . .but my kids and husband . . . looove him!
April 19th, 2008 at 7:47 pmWe love crabby patties…so send this our way!
April 19th, 2008 at 7:49 pmSpongebob will be welcomed at our home. Thanks
April 19th, 2008 at 8:03 pmOh, what the heck.
April 19th, 2008 at 8:03 pmMy son is a huge fan too, he is 4 and I must say if you have watched Spongebob, all I have to say is “Bring it around town, bring it around town, bring it around town”! That is from the bubbles episode, if you haven’t seen it you must!!
April 19th, 2008 at 8:03 pmwho lives in a pineapple under the sea?
April 19th, 2008 at 8:04 pmsponge bob!
ooooh.
April 19th, 2008 at 8:04 pmYea I really hate spongebob but I cant help watch that STUPID Ash(haha) show everytime!
April 19th, 2008 at 8:04 pmIt’s good to know I’m not alone. My kids are obsessed. And sometimes I can’t help but to laugh.
April 19th, 2008 at 8:05 pmyes please!!
April 19th, 2008 at 8:09 pmMy kids love Patrick more than I’m comfortable with. I’m a Sandy fan!
April 19th, 2008 at 8:18 pmHe is pretty goofy, ol’ SquareBob Spongepants. (yes, I know, but it makes the grandkids laugh. And he is a square(ish) sponge in pants, so…)
Anyway, the random number generator has not been kind to me (and after all I’ve done for it!) but I’ve always had a special affinity for electric jellyfish. They’re so pretty!
April 19th, 2008 at 8:18 pmHow sad is it that I like him more than my son?!?!?
April 19th, 2008 at 8:38 pmDig the electric jellysfish.
April 19th, 2008 at 8:45 pmMy tomboy daughter loves Spongebob, and is, in fact, wearing a Spongebob tshirt today. Thanks for the opportunity.
April 19th, 2008 at 8:48 pmWe love Spongebob! Thanks for a chance to add this to our DVD library!
April 19th, 2008 at 9:02 pmSpongebob drives me nuts, but my hubby seems to like him. And Kati’s (#55) husband does have some very valid points. (not that I read every entry on here–hers just kind of stuck out)
April 19th, 2008 at 9:12 pmMy son has been asking for this dvd for days. Please pick me!
April 19th, 2008 at 9:12 pmThanks for all of your steals and deals! We love SpongeBob at our house!
April 19th, 2008 at 9:24 pmYeah, I’m a goober: I love Spongebob.

April 19th, 2008 at 9:33 pmI love love love SpongeBob. And I’m glad to hear that other adults do, too. I have some little plastic SpongeBob characters that came out of various fast food kid meals and I keep them on the window ledge in my office. The students in my school (high school) like SpongeBob too, and I get a lot of positive comments from them about my little collection.
April 19th, 2008 at 9:33 pmSign me up! Nothin’s better that a free Spongebob!!
April 19th, 2008 at 9:42 pmWell it wont be for my kids, it would be from my Big kid, hubby and yes he would love it lol
April 19th, 2008 at 10:13 pmWho lives in a pineapple under the sea??? We do, we do! Let me win.
April 19th, 2008 at 10:19 pmLet’s gather round the camp fire and sing the campfire song. The c-a-m-p-f-i-r-e s-o-n-g song and if you don’t think that I can sing it faster then you’re wrong, but it will help if you just sing along…
Bum, bum, bum….
I’ll spare you the rest.
April 19th, 2008 at 10:21 pmA free Spongebob. Nothing drives my hubbie more crazy than all the reruns on over the weekend….who couldn’t use a whole dvd of them(sorry hon). Pick me, pick me.
April 19th, 2008 at 10:21 pmWho lives in a pineapple under the sea….
April 19th, 2008 at 10:25 pmSomeday I would like to live the life of SpongeBob!
April 19th, 2008 at 10:28 pmSpongebob is awesome!
April 19th, 2008 at 10:32 pmMy kids would be very excited.
April 19th, 2008 at 10:35 pmMy oldest son’s first birthday cake was a Spongebob cake I made him. Obviously more for us than him!

April 19th, 2008 at 11:11 pmI get pissy when my son chooses to watch Ben 10 instead of Spongebob.
I’m not proud.
April 19th, 2008 at 11:12 pmThree boys at my house–all Spongebob crazy!

April 19th, 2008 at 11:40 pmAlready over 100 people want a Spongebob DVD? Wow… My almost-4-year-old daughter is anxious to jump on the bandwagon — peer pressure and all that, or maybe it’s her 12-year-old uncle’s influence…
April 19th, 2008 at 11:40 pm^_^
Pick me!
April 19th, 2008 at 11:51 pmGo Spongebob!

April 20th, 2008 at 7:51 amI am in complete agreement with you over Spongebob’s insipid insanity, but my children still go nutty over him. My son has been singing the Pest of the West theme song for days. So, as much as I don’t want this, my kids would LOVE if my comment was picked.
April 20th, 2008 at 8:01 amWe just adopted a teenager from China and she is using Spongebob to help learn English!
April 20th, 2008 at 8:06 amHey with 5 boys spongebob is HUGE in this house! Pick me! Pick me!

April 20th, 2008 at 8:29 amI live in a house with 3 boys who adore Sponge Bob.It would surely be used with love here!
April 20th, 2008 at 8:40 amI can sing the whole “Wish I was back in Texas” song and I’ve never watched it. That’s what three days in the car with a child who watched it over and over will do. Hey it kept her happy with the move.
April 20th, 2008 at 9:03 amMy daughter loves SBSP! She can quote whole episodes word for word! What does that say about me as a mother? Let’s not go there…I’m just doing the best I can! Just like SB everday at the Krusty Krab!
April 20th, 2008 at 9:34 amPlease, we have watched our other Spongebob DVD about a zillion times….
April 20th, 2008 at 9:35 amIs it bad that I love SpongeBob just as much as my kids?
Could be that’s why I love teaching Kindergarten…
April 20th, 2008 at 9:35 amThat stupid sponge IS hilarious.
April 20th, 2008 at 9:37 amI swore I wouldn’t watch Spongebob either lol. My 2 year old calls him BOB, yes, I watch him too.

Well, not ME really, but my kiddos. I can deal with him…except that silly laugh!
April 20th, 2008 at 7:41 pmooh! me!
April 20th, 2008 at 7:55 pmWe too have tried to rid ourselves of SpongeBob, but just can’t make the cut. He is quite funny. A show our whole family enjoys. We have been looking forward to ‘Pest of the West’ for some time now. (We meaning my husband and children.) I just want the very best deal, and look, I found it! Pick me, Pick me!
April 20th, 2008 at 9:00 pmthis would make my poor sick child very very happy. keeping fingers crossed.

April 20th, 2008 at 11:12 pmMy kids love Spongebob.
April 21st, 2008 at 1:11 am[…] It wasn’t too bad for a quickie weekend contest, I think—162 professed your love for the sponge under the sea, but unfortunately I only have 1 DVD to give away. […]
April 21st, 2008 at 8:37 am
