SpongeBob saws “the tables of tyranny'... literally.
The Big Picture SpongeBob SquarePants and discussions about the state of labor in this country may have more in common than you realize. Stephen Hillenburg’s long-running animated series has dipped its toes into the waters of the corporate landscape — particularly in episodes involving SpongeBob’s crustaceous cheapskate boss Mr. Krabs .
One problem: SpongeBob does not seem to understand how to strike. He cries after Mr. Krabs fires him, he cannot throw his hat to the ground — or as Squidward puts it, “a symbol of their oppression” — and he paints the phrase “Krusty Krab Funfair” instead of “unfair.” The last move attracts fish to the Krusty Krab, trampling Squidward. SpongeBob even signs the spatula of a teenager who crosses the picket line to take his job.
SpongeBob represents the laborer David Zaslav must have thought of when he declared that a “love for working” could end the strike. SpongeBob does not accept Mr. Krabs’ paycheck, saying instead that “Grilling is my passion,” he almost pays Mr. Krabs for his “lollygagging” before Squidward stops him, and he cries when he gets fired for striking. Now, he does briefly see his plight after the teenager takes his job — he freezes for a second and stares into space.
