SpongeBob SquarePants is an abstract animation that uses abstract thinking and plot to create laughter.

If you can keep up with this abstract thinking and understand the plot, then you will reap unexpected joy.

Here's an example.

Patrick and SpongeBob often make all kinds of funny walking poses and shout all kinds of weird slogans, and even Squidward sometimes can't understand them.

The audience in front of the TV may be complaining in their hearts about this strange posture and slogan at first glance?

But when they subconsciously imitate it, and suddenly get the abstract truth, their eyes will light up, and they will become as happy as SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick.

That's what the anime is all about.

Being able to get the sense of joy expressed in the abstraction of SpongeBob SquarePants is the target audience for this anime.

Can't get a point?

It's a pity that the "SpongeBob SquarePants" animation, which may be in the eyes of others, will be very boring and chaotic in his eyes.

It has nothing to do with age.

According to the information obtained by Gu Miao, since the animation "SpongeBob SquarePants" was broadcast on North American television, the audience includes both children and nearly half of the adult audience.

Dave said that some people may not have figured out the jokes behind the abstraction of the animation, so they don't think "SpongeBob SquarePants" is funny, and give up after a few glances.

And some people get the fun of animation, so the more they watch it, the more they get more and more, and they are even reluctant to leave the TV.

This is the case, regardless of age.

Even adults who don't like to watch cartoons can enjoy the fun of SpongeBob SquarePants and laugh at the antics of characters like SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick.

And the other way around......

Even children who love to watch cartoons the most, if they can't get the fun, they will find "SpongeBob SquarePants" boring, I don't know what's funny?

His arsenic, my honey!

This sentence is quite apt for the SpongeBob SquarePants animation, because the performance of the animation really proves that not everyone likes this style.

Of course!

After all, there are a few who don't like it, and most people like "SpongeBob SquarePants" very much, and even watch it fascinated, quite like "Cat and Mouse" was born back then.

This cute yellow sponge cube became popular in the United States as soon as it was broadcast, and was loved and sought after by countless children and adults.

"Among the tens of millions of viewers, there are nearly half of the adults?"

Lao Zhang was shocked, he didn't expect "SpongeBob SquarePants" to attract so many adult audiences to watch.

I thought that an animation like "Crayon Xiaoxin" would already have a very high proportion of adult audiences.

I never expected it!

A mountain and a mountain high, the animation "SpongeBob SquarePants" easily set a record with nearly 50% of the adult audience.

Where did this god Lu Bu come from?

"It's no exaggeration to say that 'SpongeBob SquarePants' is even more popular with adult audiences than 'Cat and Mouse.'"

Gu Miao explained with a smile: "Even "Cat and Mouse" does not have such a high proportion, after all, the audience of cartoons is still mostly children. ”

"Yes!"

Regarding this point, Lao Zhang nodded in agreement, indeed, from the perspective of the audience base, it is indeed a very puzzling thing that the proportion of adult audiences is so high.

However, considering the abstract level of the SpongeBob SquarePants animation, it seems to make sense.

"Shall we bring it in?"

Seeing that "SpongeBob SquarePants" was very popular after its premiere in North America and gained tens of millions of viewers, Lao Zhang said that it was fake if he was not impressed.

But the heart is heartbeat, and he still has great doubts about whether to introduce this animation.

"SpongeBob SquarePants" is an animation produced by the North American branch, from the director to the artist, and even the cleaners of the branch are all local North Americans.

Because of this, the animation has a very strong "American thinking".

Originally, "SpongeBob SquarePants" was very abstract, and the laughter was still American, can the laughter of the old American audience be the same as the laughter of the domestic audience?

After not spending a lot of effort to introduce it, the domestic audience can't get the laugh, right?

"Not really!"

Gu Miao shook her head: "Although different cultural backgrounds cause the audience's laughter to be inconsistent, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is not to the point that audiences in other countries can't understand it. ”

You can definitely understand it.

The jokes can also be understood, and the jokes that really can't be understood are actually irrelevant, because aside from these jokes, just looking at the animation production, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is also an outstanding work.

Therefore, SpongeBob SquarePants is definitely going to be introduced into China, and the corresponding Chinese dubbed subtitles are already in production.

However, in terms of publicity, it is true that the focus of the promotion of "SpongeBob SquarePants" cannot be placed on the so-called children......

After the test of the North American market, it has proved the status of "SpongeBob SquarePants" in the minds of adult audiences, and from this point of view, it is completely possible to win over adult audiences.

"It's hard!"

"This is not an animation adapted from a popular online article, and it is not a youth romance comedy that everyone likes to see, how can adults be interested?"

Lao Zhang felt that trying to arouse the curiosity of adult audiences through publicity was difficult for "SpongeBob SquarePants".

No matter how attractive the content is, as long as you hear the title of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and take a look at the yellow sponge square, you won't easily click in to watch your animation!

"Who said that?"

"I think it's very simple for "SpongeBob SquarePants" to attract the attention of domestic audiences, just show everyone the opening and listen to the magical theme song."

When Gu Miao said this, a wonderful smile suddenly appeared on her face.

《The Pirate and Kids》！

Translated as "pirates and children", this song may be unfamiliar to many people just by name, and they feel like they have never heard it.

But when the captain and the children are in the dialogue, "Are you ready kids?" Aye Aye Captain.” As soon as you hear it, do you immediately remember it?

That's right!

This "Pirates and Kids" is the opening theme song of the classic animation "SpongeBob SquarePants", and it is also one of the most demonic brainwashing English songs in many people's childhood memories.

Especially the captain's demonic laughter at the end is simply too brainwashing to forget......

In fact, when Gu Miao was a child, she couldn't understand English at all, but she just thought that the melody of the theme song "SpongeBob SquarePants" was a bit nice and brainwashing.

I believe this is also the first feeling that many people have when they heard this song when they were children, that is, it is too simple and rude.

As for the lyrics? What lyrics?

Except for the sentence Are you ready, no one can really understand the rest of the lyrics when they are young, right?

Gu Miao also learned many years later that the string of words SpongeBob SquarePants that the pirate captain and the children sang together actually meant "SpongeBob SquarePants".

To be reasonable, he thought at that time that the captain and the children were humming "Wang~Wang~Snow~Cake~"!
