The chaperone spongebob pearl crying how to#
While my hair had come a long way from the tabletop style of my elementary days, my hair was still crunchy, short and falling out because she didn’t know how to take care of her own afro. I’ve lived with my mother - who is black - since I was 13. From what I remember, the people in the media that did have afros were black but were usually shown as destitute, ratchet antagonists to the protagonist with flowing, magnificent locks.īut whether or not people of my race - mulatto - had afros in the few times they were shown in the media, I learned everything I once knew about taking care of my hair from my mother. Whether it was blonde, black, brown or red, all of my media influences had silky hair that most often flowed to a long, breezy length, a length that my hair has never achieved without extensions. There are more white people represented in the media than black people, especially black people with afros. While there were not many people around me with afros outside of my family, there were even less people with afros in the television shows and movies I turned to for entertainment. At the very least, by the end of the episode, you've got the catchy tune to "Doing the Sponge" stuck in your head, which, trust me, will never go away. Needless to say, I dug pretty deep into this particular episode, but it is no doubt a representation of why I love Spongebob: the themes, the weirdness, and, of course, the fun. There is always going to be people to hate who you are, but as long as you approve of who you are, that's all that really matters." Spongebob decided to be himself, and while that gained him scrutiny from the general populace, he was able to come to terms with who he was, and have a fun time doing it. However, I doubt that this would stand as the actual theme of the episode, and I would rather argue that the writers are trying to say, "You don't need approval for your weirdness.
On the surface, one could almost interpret this episode as, "If you try to be yourself, everyone will just hate you even more." After all, Spongebob decides to just be a sponge, and he gets kicked out of the prom. Needless to say, Pearl and Spongebob are eventually kicked out of the prom. Pearl, however, feeling sorry for Spongebob, asks him to dance, and they commence in "doing the Sponge," a dance that causes even more havoc and a few broken legs. During the dance, however, Spongebob is incapable of maintaining his normal facade, especially thanks to the stilts, and accidentally ruins the prom, inducing a Spongebob crying fit.
