    But of course who wouldn't like SB? The intense plot, gripping cliffhangers, astouding VA, and breath taking animation are to die for. /sarcasm Yes, SB is lame. Sorry, but it really is. Great if your a 7 year old who feels like watching dumb "humor" but thats about it. Every one else has already said why Avatar is better so I won't bother. But yea, in my opinion Avatar crushes SB.

    People don't give reasons for SpongeBob because when you watch it, the reasons are staring in front of you. But if you need reasons then here you go:

    1.    SpongeBob is the much funnier of the two shows.

    2.    SpongeBob has lovable characters that you grow attached to as the show goes on. I mean, not many TV characters beat the  SpongeBob people. In fact, SpongeBob is one of my three favorite TV/video game characters of all time.

    3.    People constantly say that Avatar has a story and SpongeBob doesn't. SpongeBob isn't MEANT to. It's not meant to be some big storyline like Avatar, it is meant to be a silly cartoon to laugh at, something that Nick has actually been good with since the old days.

    4.     Nickelodeon is a proper home for SpongeBob. Avatat doesn't fit in with the other Nick shows. If I want to see that, I will go to Cartoon Networks Tonami block. While some people like how Nick is trying something new with Avatar, think about it. Nick hasn't been good with it's new ideas.

     Does that explain everything?

     

    1. That's because it's a COMEDY show. Avatar is ACTION/ADVENTURE. It does sneek in humor though, and quite frankily it's hilarious when they have a funny moment.

     

    2. So? Avatar is my one of my favorite 3 TV shows/and has my favorite characters. People grow attached to the characters just like you do to SpongeBob. What's stopping them? I happen to be a crazed Aang fangirl, 'cause I love his voice actor.

     

    3. Your right. SpongeBob is something you can watch and not know a thing about. But the storyline is what makes Avatar interesting.

     

    4. Avatar is the greatess thing to happen to Nick recently. When SpongeBob came out, so was it. Avatar is different from any shows on Nick. When Invader Zim came out, so was it. Same with SpongeBob, etc.

    You haven't seen Avatar and are judging it?!? I have seen SpongeBob and don't think it is a great show. But hey what ever sinks... hem! I mean makes your boat float go ahead. Don't diss Avatar!

     I've heard you diss Spongebob numerous times but anyways, I honestly think this Thread should get locked soon... In my opinion, it's getting a little pointless and absurd. It's almost like comparing Apples to Oranges.

    Wow I get a life for a few days, come back, and were in a six page war.............

    ok, here's the deal, I'm really, REALLY gonna try to ride the fence and be all fair, although I'm gonna have to get off it sooner or later...........

    The thing is, yes Spongebob has the pointless random humor, Yes I've seen pretty much every episode up to around this past season (I'm 16), since then the "inside" jokes were getting really disturbing..................loveable characters? mmm, I guess, I remember I started watching it when I was 9, then in middle school that was the "cool" show to watch, and since I had a very low self-esteem, I had to try to fit in somehow, so I just kept watching the show. I guess I got attached to them, we say their quotes all around school and try to laugh like Spongebob. Granted, back then I was immature enough to enjoy it. Basically now I watch it when I'm bored or for just pure nolstagia. Although maybe it's bcause I just watch reruns, but it's just not all that funny anymore, if anything it's more disturbing. Do I still like it? Ehhh, not as much, but the earlier seasons sure.

     

    Ok part two, still awake? Good. Avatar, I started watching this when I was 15, well I could drill down your throat the same reasons everyone else has ever so excitedly exclaimed (Plotline, suspense, war, action, romance, animation, ya I think you're smart enough to get it.) but I'm not. I will say this, I think I remember watching new episodes of Spongebob and when I laughed at the "jokes", it felt unnatural when I laughed and forced. (and this is a girl that laughs hard at the worst puns and jokes.) Now granted does Avatar have more jokes? Not really, but when I laugh at them, they're actually funny and I laugh more naturally.

     

      I noticed a lot of people haven't even watched the show, yet they say it's mediocre? I watched more than an episode of Spongebob, heck more than a season even, but you don't see me just posting one sentence screaming "Spongebob sux yooo! Ive nevern watched it but ill judge it anyway cause im that ignorant!" or "Spongebob sux Avatar is beetter even though I'm giving no real reason why!"

     

    So in conclusion, I like them both, I just like Avatar more. 

     

    God I need some tea, good thing it's Spring Break here.

     Does that explain everything?

    1. Did you watch episode 2.11?
    2. What characters? I grow way more attached to Avatars characters
    3.But when SpongeBob is a humorous show and has no funny jokes in an episode, than personally I think a story would do it wonders.
    4. More like Nickelodeon is a home for SpongeBob considering how much marketing, awards, etc. for it.

    Listen, asdhlkd already dealt with that part, and gave acceptable answers. We closed it up, so my question is why are you trying to get back into that topic?

    I find this thread extremely funny. I'm not sure if people are more ignorant here or stupid. More than half the people saying Avatar sucks have never even seen an episode, only the previews.

    Avatar is a one-of-a-kind show. It has a lot of different influences and is really UNLIKE anything else we've seen on TV before. It has real Kung Fu, characters dying while others develop and plenty of mystery, action, comedy and drama mixed in.

    Spongebob was once a show of comedic genuis. But time has passed, writers have moved on, and the show is not as great as it once was. It still has many great episodes I enjoy watching, and it's on my TV.com favorites.

    People, grow up. I find it sad people can't have a logical discussion about two TV shows without having someone say "This show totally sucks, I've never seen an episode, but it sucks." Both Spongebob and Avatar are good shows in my opinion. NO ONE should be posting in this thread if they haven't watched at least a few episodes of each.

    Avatar is much better than Spongebob for many reasons. One of them is that Avatar has a (gasp!) story. It an epic like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. Spongebob is a series of randem events. Avatar has fluid and colorful characters, they are free to make mistakes and learn from them as people do all the time. They have goals and aspirations. It has a point and purpose. It teaches you about Asian and Inuit culture. It features real life martial arts as a bending **** It requires imagination to concoct not two seconds of bathroom humor.  It features real world events such as genocide, war, propoganda and betrayl . So, in essencence it is like a Star Wars for the TV set. It is an intellectual pursuit you have to think about events and piece them together into the bigger picture. Not just sit and absorb like a sponge!

    That's just dumb. If you want an epic story, don't watch TV, read a book or something. And good TV isn't real-life events. Good TV is things that give you a reason to watch TV. Like, things that AREN'T about real-world things. So why don't you go sit around and read a 7th grade Social Studies textbook until your eyes turn brown, if this is what you want.

    "Read a book or something."? Then you might as well yank Harry Potter, Spiderman, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings off the tv/movies since they are epics as well.  "Good TV is things that give you a reason to watch TV. Like, things that AREN'T real-world things." That is true but most of the time it features real life events that are turned into fantasy, such as SpongeBob going to the beach when he lives underwater. Unless we become aliens there will always be real life references because this reality is all that we have. Also I believe the correct insult is "until your eyes turn red." Really, if you're going to insult someone at least get the insult right.

    Umm... I didn't mean it can't have ANY real-life referances, I mean it can't be all reality. I know Avatar has a lot of fantasy, but the way they do it is boring and overused.

    And, for your information, your eyes will turn whatever color I want them to turn.
