The very first episode of SpongeBob SquarePants "Help Wanted", in which SpongeBob applies for a job at the Krusty Krab, premiered on May 1, 1999. The episode was written by series creator Stephen Hillenburg, storyboard artist Derek Drymon, and Tim Hill.

The series premiere was viewed in over 2 million households. The episode received positive reviews from critics, and SpongeBob SquarePants eventually went on to become Nickelodeon's biggest franchise.

Happy 25th anniversary, Goofy Goobers!

The Dutch version was hilarious as well. The voice acting was great and humor, although sometimes altered, translated well. I had to get used seeing episodes in original English and rather watch it in Dutch.

No 25th anniversary here though, first season aired in 2003.
