3. “SpongeBob SquarePants”
SpongeBob is the king of Nickelodeon animation. “SpongeBob SquarePants” was a later entry into the pantheon, not debuting until 1999. It’s still going on, even though creator Stephen Hilgenberg tragically passed away. “SpongeBob” is absurd and ridiculous, and it captured the imagination of multiple generations. The fact it seems about half of all memes come from the show is proof of that.

4. “Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated”
Truth be told, the original “Scooby-Doo” cartoons don’t hold up well. They are slow and repetitive. That’s definitely not the case with “Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.” This version, which aired from 2010 through 2013, is a lot more detailed. There are recurring storylines and an ongoing mystery. There’s character depth, so it’s not just Velma losing her glasses. Oh, and the backgrounds don’t just repeat themselves over and over.
