A couple years ago, Camp Chaos created a cartoon for VH1's ILL-ustrated that never made it to air. One would assume "SpongeBong HempPants" was never shown due to its blatant advocacy of drug use, or maybe it wasn't shown because it's just not that good. The shorts can be found on YouTube, and perhaps smoking a few doobies can make them seem funnier than they really are, but it's ultimately one stretched-out joke that wasn't that funny to begin with.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if SpongeBob and his pals not only got high all the time, but also looked like different drugs and drug paraphernalia? Yes, that could be very funny if done right, but that concept alone isn't enough. Besides, if you really want to get stoned and watch a cartoon, the original SpongeBob is a much better choice.
