this almost got tom kenny fired from spongebob btw

I doubt almost anything would get Tom Kenny fired from spongebob too much money to be made They were probably pissed tho lmaoooo

Wtf are even these replies This clip literally poiting at the American propaganda and racism that was thriving BACK THEN, its fucking satire nothing deep

The possible reality where we have a non Tom Kenny SpongeBob OR this leading to SpongeBob getting canceled earlier than it should

replies are missing the point this is a satirical sketch calling out how insanely racist america was being in the name of "patriotism" post-9/11. AMERICA is the butt of the joke here

The people in the replies must have brain damage because this is so obviously satire.

I love "I dont even have a computer" so much

What on earth is this from lmfao

I’d fire his ass too if I was Nickelodeon this shit isn’t even funny

I feel like half the reason Nickelodeon got mad is not even because the sketch is profane, but because they DARED to say that America was so insanely racist to Muslims during Bush's presidency. The fact that Tom Kenny got in so much trouble over this is so telling

replies rn

I don't think it did. People keep repeating this without providing any sources. Even on Google all the sources are just fans or other people repeating these claims without citing any comments from Tom Kenny or other SpongeBob staff members as proof

why the replies are like that one discord screenshot

good for u mr pants

not only does he not have a computer but he's asexual. except for that one episode where gary shot him on iPhone (woke version of caught in 4K)

Nickelodeon tightened his contract so he’s not allowed to use his SpongeBob voice outside of casting in the show Without clearance

Honestly kinda deserved this isn’t even remotely funny

“Tom kenny fired” who was gonna replace him lmao

It’s not funny but at least SpongeBob is in charecter

been knew this (sadly), cuz, SpongeBob was my special interest, and learned alot about the show.

Wtf is that a wow wow wubbzy pfp in 2026

Lmfao this what SpongeBob be doing on his days off? lmfao

i thought tom kenny wasn't allowed to do the spongebob voice outside of the show? unless that rule was introduced after this was made

The concept of Viacom owning a human’s voice is deeply disturbing, and weird. Like how is that NOT illegal asf?

SpongeBob is surprisingly in character here ngl

why would they fire him, SpongeBob is IN character, like one-to-one that's just SpongeBob, movement, facial expressions, and his voice as the cherry on top This is really not that funny but the fact SpongeBob's personality is that accurate to the original makes it worth it

Btw In this exact sketch, after Spongebob is captured, the powerpuff girls come to rescue him, only for them to get beaten up by the presidents which they actually use for their propaganda commercial. :P

How did he get away with this

This is so adult swim coded

his contract was tightened after this, there's nothing out there saying that he was almost fired lol

Funny if true considering this skit was merely showing SpongeBob feeling uncomfortable with a blatantly violent stereotype of the time, while getting the most over the top punishment. Meanwhile, the implication that Tom got pushback over this isn't too far off from today.

“this almost got tom kenny fired from spongebob btw” that is 100 percent wrong by the way

whole time spongebob didnt even want to be there cus it was racist fearmongering cash grab nonsense if anything that made me like him more but okay viacom

what show is this

Everyone who thinks this isn’t funny must be too young to remember the Bush era
