SBC

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


SBC, or "The SpongeBob Community", is a Web site started in August 2009. It was originally intended for banned TV.com members, but has grown ever since. Despite being mainly a SpongeBob-related site, it also has a media section.

SBC provides examples of the following tropes:
  • Aborted Arc: Quite a few:
    • There was intended to be a RPG during the summer, but never happened for reasons unknown.
    • There was going to be a Haunted House game, along with some others, during the Octerror Fest 2011, but never happened.
    • There has been rumors floating of an award system, but its fate remains unknown.
  • Alternate Universe: The Parallel Universe in SBC Parallel Universe.
  • Anything That Moves: Dragiiin123, possibly.
  • April Fool's Plot: When the site was "bought" by SpongeBuddy Mania on April 1, 2011. Some were convinced it was real.
  • Art Evolution: The overall theme and graphics have changed over the years.
  • Ascended Meme: Quite a few:
    • "FREEZE! I'M A COP"
    • "Wala Ka Bang Homework"
    • "cruse my keyboard"
  • Badass: Old Man Jenkins.
  • Big Bad: WhaleBlubber and ACS, in a way.
  • Black Comedy Rape: Rusty's Raping Rampage.
  • Canada, Eh?: User SOF is the epitome of this trope. Users Hassan and Wumbo too.
  • Catch Phrase: "The safe haven for SpongeBob fans and media fanatics." Needless to say, the site's quite different.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Some see SOF as this.
  • Dead Baby Comedy: Rusty's Raping Rampage is pretty much nothing but this. See also Black Comedy Rape.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Wumbo.
    • Don't forget termi.
  • Depraved Bisexual: User that70sguy92.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: User tvfan, quite a bit.
  • Fanfic: Spin-Offs and Literatures.
  • Getting Crap Past the Radar: Dear god.
  • In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You: For a while, this was a fad. (Example: IN SOVIET RUSSIA, TOPIC SPAMS YOU!)
  • Jerkass: ACS. Not only does he makes CGI videos of such tragedies as 9/11, but he's also a pretty big asshole, and leader of the self-proclaimed "Rebellion Against Cyberbullying" (despite doing the exact opposite) and he likes a really shitty cover of a Def Leppard song.
  • Large Ham: Justham
  • Mean Character, Nice Actor: Elastic Dog and jjsthekid. You wouldn't know it from reading Rusty's Raping Rampage, though.
  • Missing Episode: "Autism Rapes" from Rusty's Raping Rampage was banned due to an autistic child being raped. While it would have aired in the United States, the station complained that it could cause controversy. From then on, any future episodes involving autistic users had no mention of them being autistic. However, it aired in Russia once uncut with no problems. Bootleg dubs from the Russian airing can be viewed online or bought on such sites as eBay.
    • "SOFtcore" was recently banned (though unlike "Autism Rapes", it can be viewed on DVD) due to uncensored stimulated necrophilia, which proved too much.. Of course, it did air in the United States a few times though before its banning.
    • While it wasn't banned, "The Decade of Rapists" didn't air for a while. Why? ExKizuna was originally supposed to write it, but due to file problems, it was skipped over in the Season 1 run. It later did air though - but it was retooled by jjsthekid. The retooled version was first available on the Season 1 DVD as well. The original version may or may not be out there.
  • Nerves of Steel: User Steel Sponge.
  • Nostalgia Filter: Nostalgia Night 2011.
  • Refuge in Vulgarity: User tvguy347, most of the time. Especially his reboot of Clapmaster's Spin-Off Action. Critical reaction to it was less than stellar.
  • The Reveal: User tvguy347 revealing he was 13... then he revealed he was actually 11.
    • Also, that70sguy92 revealing that his whole life was a lie, and that he was actually 15, didn't have a wife named Sara, and didn't have any kids.
  • Rule of Drama: The whole site.
  • Shrinking Violet: Users CF and CDCB are known to be this.
  • Talk Show: SOF's Talk Show. Also Fucked Up With Santa Dog. That didn't last very long, though.
  • Time to Move: When SBC moved from forumotion to vBulletin.
  • The Rival: SpongeBuddy Mania (another SpongeBob fansite) is pretty much this.
  • Troll: WhaleBlubber is a shining example of this. A few think ACS is this. Most agree he's just that stupid, though.
  • Vague Age: Users SOF and tvguy347.
  • Wall of Text: Total Cartoon Island/Action. One user attempted to read through it, and reportedly got a headache afterward.
  • The Wiki Rule: The SBC Wiki: [1]
  • Wild Mass Guessing: There is an entire thread dedicated to this. It can be found in the "Games" sub-forum. There is now a Spin-Off one as well.
  • Writer's Block: Many Spin-Off/Literature writers have suffered this. Particularly tvguy347, with his show Down Under.
  • Your Princess Is in Another Castle: User spongebobiscool, in most of the contests.
