The No Bikini Atoll?

Hmmm....I'll have to take a good look at that before I can render an opinion.

Bob Clampett, who worked for years at Warner Brothers on Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and other cartoons created Beany & Cecil. They used numerous puns on their maps (as did the 3 Stooges).

Bikini was one of the islands where nuclear testing was done (and why it was a topical name for new fashion swimwear).

I noticed that these characters live in Bikini Bottom but I prefer B&C's No Bikini Atoll (where the singing "Dinasor" lives).

The DVD also has old footage of the earlier Beany & Cecil puppet show. Reportedly, even Albert Einstein was a fan of the program.

What a grump. Are you really Mr. Crab under an assumed name?

Spongebob is very funny but not to a grump.

I didn't say that.
