Fox ADHD is one of the newer programming blocks that the media behemoth has rolled out recently, and outside of the more adult cartoon programming, it also features hilarious shorts. This particular short takes aim at one of the most successful children's shows of all time by attacking the legendary Spongebob Squarepants.
Spongebob never claimed to be realistic, so when Fox ADHD does bring a more realistic viewpoint to it, you get a very different picture. In this video, we see that real sponges don't do anything but lay around, sea stars eat sponges and they even replace the friendly pirate with a not-so-friendly Somalian pirate.
They even get into darker comedy by speaking about the nuclear dumping done in the ocean. Fox ADHD definitely isn't your typical cartoon programming block.
