If you were born after 2000...you're literally too young to take this quiz

Happy Friday! No matter how old I get, I'll always enjoy a good cartoon, especially if it was on one of the big 3: Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon. The sheer joy I had when shows like Hey Arnold! or Rocko's Modern Life came on was unmatched. But one show that still sticks to this day is Spongebob Squarepants.

There's no other cartoon I quote as often as Spongebob. And I somehow manage to have one for any scenario. Talking about chocolate? "I remember when they first invented chocolate." Having pizza? "How am I supposed to eat this without my DRINK?" And whenever Trump opens his mouth, like a knee-jerk reaction, I go, "Oh brother, this guy STINKS!" It encapsulates my feelings perfectly. With love, Amatullah (A Goofy Goober) 🍍
