"SpongeBob! I can't believe it, SpongeBob!"
Nickelodeon recruited SpongeBob SquarePants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (Bill Fagerbakke) to offer live commentary on Super Bowl LVIII, and their reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs’ game-winning touchdown was priceless.
Following the format's success in other games, CBS once again worked with the kids network to bring younger audiences a more informative and lighthearted take on this year’s Big Game. This included motion-captured performances from the yellow and pink undersea duo, fit with an “Are you ready, kids?” before everything got started.
As SpongeBob and Patrick referenced past episodes of their show, the cartoonish coverage provided its own iconic moments. Some highlights saw Nickelodeon broadcasters explaining Taylor Swift’s long flight from Tokyo to the game’s location in Las Vegas, to shots of a digital Larry the Lobster running around on the field. The clip showing the reaction to the game’s overtime touchdown is the real star of the show, however, as it includes screaming hosts, a Bikini Bottom shoutout, and of course, gallons of slime shot from giant clams.

If you listen closely toward the end of the clip, you can hear SpongeBob quickly say, “And now comes the big proposal!” It’s a reference to rumors that Chief’s tight end Travis Kelce would proposal to Swift should a Kansas City victory fall in to place. To SpongeBob’s dismay, no on-field proposal came to be.
Super Bowl LVIII was huge for SpongeBob and fans alike, as it brought more than a just few oceanic gags. The evening finally saw the spongey character perform Sweet Victory with his friends. The performance took place just before kickoff, giving fans an especially cinematic take on the classic Bikini Bottom song after somewhat of a letdown during the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in 2019.
