In the words of SpongeBob SquarePants, it’s time to use your imagination.
A user on TikTok is sharing a theory about the character on Nickelodeon’s hit cartoon “SpongeBob SquarePants” — and viewers are freaking out.
In the video, @asheleyspam stated that she believes that every character on the show represents a certain “problem”. The viral 16-second clip has already garnered over 2 million likes.
For example, she thinks that SpongeBob is meant to represent ADHD, while his friend and neighbor Squidward may have suffered from depression.
“It took me 10 years to realize that the SpongeBob characters represent a disorder,” she writes in white text at the top of the video, while the narrator repeats the words in a growling, sad voice.
The Tik Tok creator also revealed on the show that SpongeBob fan Patrick has Down syndrome and that Mr. Krabs, the owner of SpongeBob’s restaurant, suffers from narcissistic personality disorder. She also added that Plankton, who was everyone’s arch-nemesis, might have bipolar disorder.
The Post has reached out to representatives at Nickelodeon about psychic theories.
“SpongeBob SquarePants” is a cartoon series that chronicles the adventures of SpongeBob and his friends as they enjoy life in the underwater world of Bikini Bottom. The series has been made into several animated films, the first of which premiered in 2004, and had a Broadway run from 2017 to 2018.
Some longtime viewers were shocked to see TikTok.
“It makes sense now. 😳” one viewer wrote in the comment section of her post.
“I can’t look at Spongebob the same way,” wrote another, along with a crying face emoji.
One user agreed that the show was contaminated for them as well. “You really shouldn’t have known,” they said.
However, not everyone was buying it.
“Have you ever thought that SpongeBob… is actually… a sponge?????” One user wrote.
Another agreed, “I think there’s a chance you’re thinking about it.”
“Or maybe it’s just a TV show,” one commented.
Others have compared the characters to other fictional children’s creations.
Someone wrote “just like Winnie the Pooh characters”.
