Early humor effect
When kids shows try so hard to be funny that they end up turning kids into experts of adult nonsense and swearing before they even know what a swear word is.
A kid texts their best friend, 'SpongeBob is going to get fired if he keeps doing that.'
A kid writes a complaint letter to the show: 'Please stop making Squidward look like he just got dumped by a crab.'
A kid tells their teacher, 'I think Mr. Krabs is having an affair with the cashier.'
