Children's Cartoons Comic Mashups

The Watchmen Get the Spongebob Squarepants Treatment

— February 23, 2014 — Pop Culture
For comic fans, the Watchmen is a sacred series that has earned all of the acclaim it has been receving. The Watchmen series is a staple in most people's comic book collections and it even inspired a movie. The run of the series isn't over yet though as YouTube user El Cid mashes the series up with another famous series, Spongebob Squarepants.

The original comic and movie were very serious and were portrayed as such, but you just can't help but laugh when Spongebob is involved. Patrick takes the role of the Comedian, while Spongebob takes on Rorschach. The funniest one though has to be Gary as Dr. Manhattan. The video is also pretty gory considering it's Spongebob, but given the subject matter it draws from, it only makes sense.
