I liked Spongebob until after the movie.
Most people don't know this, but Stephen Hillenburg actually wanted to end Spongebob with the movie. Of course, the execs at Nick were too greedy and forced Hillenburg to make more material (Like Toriyama's case with DBZ and Shuiesha), so he decided to make the show horrible on purpose by making the plots bad, having all the characters go through character derailment, Spongebob more annoying and seemingly gay so that it could get canceled. But of course, it didn't work...
It was a pop culture phenomenon that deserved the popularity it earned all the way up to the movie, but now it's horribly overrated. And they even had it on MTV for a while trying to market it to college stoners.
