Spongebob has and will always be my favorite cartoon show. 

But there is this one strange and very convincing theory about how the show is really about nuclear testing. 

Spongebob and his friends look and behave the way they do because of their exposure to radiation from atomic bombs in the area that is Bikini Bottom. 

The show is set in a real place called Bikini Atoll. This is confirmed. 

Back in 1946, the U.S government detoned a couple of atomic bombs, one of which was set under the sea. (Source)

That might explain why Mr.Krabs has a whale for a daughter.

Check out the Rugrat’s theory if you haven’t already.
