11-22-04, 07:26 PM Whenever I've seen posts on celebrity gamers, they mention relatively no-name actors like mike myers, or vin diesel, or robin williams. Today I've learned the dark gaming secret of a world class celebrity. SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS plays p&p, yeah you heard me right, a superstar like Spongebob is a gamer. I saw an episode of Spongebob called "midlife crusteatian" in which Spongebob, Patrick starfish and Mr Krabs take a break from the Krusty Krab to play an RPG called p&p; Patrick was dressed in chainmail and Mr Krabs had a pair of wizards hats, and Spongebob was in an elf suit, and they where all around a table with dice, pen and paper, books, a GM screen, minis, and a battle mat. The gaming scene was only a few seconds I had pause the show to confrim what I saw, but there is no denying it, Spongebob is a gamer. Now if a superstar like Spongebob can admit to gaming maybe we are looking new age where gaming is seen as cool! :cool:

Thanks Spongebob!!!

11-24-04, 11:45 AM That's awesome advertisement. Even if you think spongebob is stupid, it's very popular among kids during their influential age as well as many adults. Did they do a little skit or was it just a quick scene with no "roleplaying" going on?
Yoho1.5
11-24-04, 02:34 PM Tyveil- the gaming scene was only a few seconds; it was part of a montage scene in which Mr Krabs gets to see what Spongebob and Patrick do on a wild friday night.

As a side note I just learned that the voice actor for Mr Krabs is Clancy Brown, who also played "Kurgan" in Highlander. "THEIR CAN ONLY BE ONE SPONGEBOB, MUWAHAHAHA!!!"

Another note I'm not a Spongebob fanboy; just the dad of a four year old boy who thinks Spongebob is the best. I'm also big into painting fantasy minis and my son aways tells me to paint the bad guys on scooby-doo; he is not afraid of monsters because his dad will just paint them. :cool: After watching my son roll dice and move around warhammer figures while counting I thought that being a dad is going to only get better and better.

One man's trash is another's treasure, but I can think of dozens of animated shows that are waaaay more stupid...not that I'll mention them...no need to start a cartoon flame war! :D

Alright, thats done, but last weeks episode of SMC was pretty funny, atleast it was 20000000000x better times then that nights episode of Sealab. but.... I must say that Spongebob makes me angry beyond belief. but I guess that has strayed off topic I think...
Ramses III

Word. That show needs to SO die. Still, publicity is publicity... at least they aren't accusing us of satanism anymore.

Invader Zim could kick Sponge Bob's ass any day of the week.

11-26-04, 04:13 AM Super Milk Chan I don't think its a stupid show. From the one episode I saw, it isn't coherent enough to be stupid. That's saying a lot.

He nets more in a week than Zim made in his entire syndication run. :P

Long live the randominion!
Yoho1.5
11-26-04, 07:26 PM Azul So your dad thinks D&D is a phase. He is probably right, I've only been playing for 25 years, I can only see playing for another 25 or so. To all those who don't like the sponge, my four year old son strongly disagrees withyou. I think the sponge isn't too bad. I'd rather sit through three seasons of spongebob than watch another single episode of cardcaptors.

11-26-04, 07:51 PM Why is everybody always so down on the old DnD toon? I remember when that cartoon came out, I was a youngun, and I probably would never have bothered to play DnD had I never seen the cartoon. Albeit, I don't really remember the cartoon that well and I'm not sure how well it resembled DnD anyway.

There's no such thing as bad publicity.

11-27-04, 12:30 AM Man, why does everyone hate Spongebob? Anyways, yeah, I saw that episode. "Art thou feeling it Mr. Krabs." Of course, then there was the episode of Dexter's Lab that had him and some friends playing Monsters and Mazes. That was actually the first glimmer of D&D I ever saw.

Well, as you yourself said, you don't really remember the cartoon...lucky you. I think it had potential, but it was never realized. As is so often the case, they dumbed it down for the masses. I just found out that in the final episode (which was never made) Venger (the villian with one horn) was revealed to be the son of the little Dungeon Master guy, and one of the six kids was supposed to die, as well...I think the ranger. Now, that would have been a cool episode! I never said the publicity was bad...anything to get more players is fine...I just said the cartoon was (fairly) bad.

And I like both Sponge Bob and Invader Zim! Is this allowed?

Ah, yes, D & DD (http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-753/epid-24546/). I can't seem to catch it :(

They've cancelled Dexter's Lab, and it's been exiled to the graveyard hours of Cartoon Network. Damn though. Out of CN's three original cartoons, it was the best. Cow and Chicken is long gone, and Johnny Bravo is just a bunch of celebrity cameos now. Then again, we do have Megas XLR, which has a D&D reference somewhere, I know it!

11-28-04, 12:56 PM Now that you mentioned D&D references in shows found on Cartoon Network:
In Ep.3 of Full Metal Alchemist the main characters are reading a book on alchemy (not that surprising), however if you look closely enough you can see "d20" and "PrC" and other D&D references in the text :D

12-01-04, 12:59 PM Mr. Groening (who gave us the Simpsons and Futurama) has put some D&D references in his cartoons. I've heard that Gary Gygax even appears in a Futurama episode (with gray hair and ponytail, and rolling d20s every time a decision had to be made).

That episode of futurama was on just last night, it also had Al gore, and somebody else, it was the first "What if machine" Episode, good times.

It had a lot of potential, my friend once ran a game where we encountered the kids from the D&D cartoon all grown up and harded to life in Greyhawk, Boby the barbarian had grown to Conan proportions, killed the cavalier and taken his shield, Hank the ranger was blowing holes in peoples chest with his magic bow, the thief was queen of the backstab with her cloak of elvenkind, and the wizard had finally gotten control over the hat.

As for the other cartoons:
Adult swim is the best
Toonami aint half bad
Zim is great

I dont care for Spongebob and I only sometimes want to firebomb the lil square guy

12-05-04, 05:43 PM I dont care for Spongebob and I only sometimes want to firebomb the lil square guy

Now that's just mean. And pointless. He lives at the bottom of the ocean, where firebombing would be ineffective.

What about the unigoat? Venger? the "lil' DM dude"? Did they show up? I guess you couldn't have the "thief-acrobat" because the Complete Adventurer wasn't out yet. :D

I pitched that idea to Dave Gross back when he was editor of Dragon but he thoguht there was no interest in the idea. I still think he was mad. Maybe I'll give it another shot with the new folks at Paizo. Hmm...

I just found out that in the final episode (which was never made) Venger (the villian with one horn) was revealed to be the son of the little Dungeon Master guy, and one of the six kids was supposed to die, as well...I think the ranger. Now, that would have been a cool episode! I never said the publicity was bad...anything to get more players is fine...I just said the cartoon was (fairly) bad. And I like both Sponge Bob and Invader Zim! Is this allowed? I like those toons as well, but then, many people woud question my taste lol.
DrMorganes 11-27-04, 07:30 PM	Of course, then there was the episode of Dexter's Lab that had him and some friends playing Monsters and Mazes. Ah, yes, D & DD (http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-753/epid-24546/). I can't seem to catch it :(
EvilDuck 11-28-04, 02:36 AM	Ah, yes, D & DD (http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/GuidePageServlet/showid-753/epid-24546/). I can't seem to catch it :( They've cancelled Dexter's Lab, and it's been exiled to the graveyard hours of Cartoon Network. Damn though. Out of CN's three original cartoons, it was the best. Cow and Chicken is long gone, and Johnny Bravo is just a bunch of celebrity cameos now. Then again, we do have Megas XLR, which has a D&D reference somewhere, I know it!
Joni-san 11-28-04, 12:56 PM	Now that you mentioned D&D references in shows found on Cartoon Network: In Ep.3 of Full Metal Alchemist the main characters are reading a book on alchemy (not that surprising), however if you look closely enough you can see "d20" and "PrC" and other D&D references in the text :D

One friend has the whole series on his computer though.

KelanenPrinceofSwords 12-01-04, 12:59 PM	Mr. Groening (who gave us the Simpsons and Futurama) has put some D&D references in his cartoons. I've heard that Gary Gygax even appears in a Futurama episode (with gray hair and ponytail, and rolling d20s every time a decision had to be made).
Lady Danyon Dehlmari 12-02-04, 12:06 PM	Dexter was the almighty Gamemaster..... :D That was my favorite. Along with the gamers from ET
Drammattex 12-02-04, 12:40 PM	"Last week, Japanese scientists explaced... placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Lochness to blow Nessy out of the water. Sir Godfrey of the Nessy Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally."

I've heard that Gary Gygax even appears in a Futurama episode (with gray hair and ponytail, and rolling d20s every time a decision had to be made). That episode of futurama was on just last night, it also had Al gore, and somebody else, it was the first "What if machine" Episode, good times.
Joni-san 12-02-04, 02:09 PM	The person missing was Nichelle Nicholls aka Lt. Uhura from ST:TOS (Spelling?) and the Chess-computer Deep Blue (I think it was Deep Blue) And to Drammattex: Wha? :confused:
Drammattex 12-02-04, 02:25 PM	And to Drammattex: Wha? :confused: "What's a liger?" "It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic."
MiloDaGreat 12-02-04, 11:15 PM	Drammattex: "BUT MY LIPS HURT REAL BAD!" December 21st is when the DVD hits shelves here.
Drammattex 12-03-04, 12:05 PM	Drammattex: "BUT MY LIPS HURT REAL BAD!" December 21st is when the DVD hits shelves here. Ha ha. There you go, MiloDaGreat! Joni-san, you've gotta learn the lingo. For now... "Do the chickens have large talons?"

EvilDuck 12-03-04, 04:19 PM	Dr. Rusty Venture played D&D back in college. Oh, that was a good episode. "I charm her" "You can't do that!" "Yes I can, I have like 18 Charisma!"

And I like both Sponge Bob and Invader Zim! Is this allowed? It had a lot of potential, my friend once ran a game where we encountered the kids from the D&D cartoon all grown up and harded to life in Greyhawk, Boby the barbarian had grown to Conan proportions, killed the cavalier and taken his shield, Hank the ranger was blowing holes in peoples chest with his magic bow, the thief was queen of the backstab with her cloak of elvenkind, and the wizard had finally gotten control over the hat. As for the other cartoons: Adult swim is the best Toonami aint half bad Zim is great I dont care for Spongebob and I only sometimes want to firebomb the lil square guy
EvilDuck 12-05-04, 05:43 PM	I dont care for Spongebob and I only sometimes want to firebomb the lil square guy Now that's just mean. And pointless. He lives at the bottom of the ocean, where firebombing would be ineffective.
stormie6986 12-06-04, 12:52 AM	but we all cant forget the random kenny character ,,,he kicks but....lol

What about the unigoat? Venger? the "lil' DM dude"? Did they show up? I guess you couldn't have the "thief-acrobat" because the Complete Adventurer wasn't out yet. :D
Sulaco 12-06-04, 12:23 PM	It had a lot of potential, my friend once ran a game where we encountered the kids from the D&D cartoon all grown up and harded to life... I pitched that idea to Dave Gross back when he was editor of Dragon but he thoguht there was no interest in the idea. I still think he was mad. Maybe I'll give it another shot with the new folks at Paizo. Hmm...
