EW Exclusive: A first look at the SpongeBob SquarePants wedding!

Admittedly, I don’t keep up with SpongeBob SquarePants the way I do with, say, Lost or Medium or Melrose Place. But this exclusive clip from Truth or Square, a one-hour special airing Nov. 6, 8:00 p.m. EDT, on Nickelodeon, has me wondering if maybe I should. I mean, seriously, SpongeBob getting married to Sandy? A primitive multicellular beastie betrothed to a squirrel? I can’t say I saw these nuptials coming!

Fortunately, a Nickelodeon publicist sent me a release putting the ceremony in context. Truth or Square — narrated by Ricky Gervais and featuring Rosario Dawson, Craig Ferguson, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, LeBron James, Pink, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Robin Williams — will piece together never-before-seen flashbacks of SpongeBob and his pals after they get trapped inside Krusty Krab’s freezer during the restaurant’s “eleventy seventh” birthday. And apparently, the SpongeBob-Sandy ceremony is one of the Very Special Moments being revisited for the first time. Press play below for a glimpse of a moony-eyed SpongeBob in love. You may never look at Bikini Bottom the same way again.

    Just a heads up, the squirrel’s name is Sandy, not Wendy. Hope that helps!

    • lisa

      Wendy? Who said her name is Wendy?

    • dabubster

      This is a flashback? how could this be a flashback? in recent episodes spongebob and sandy never even looked at each other. maby they could fall in love in the movie but if this is a flash back then im pissed.

      • sponge+squirrel=?

        i wonder wut sponges son/daughter will sound like: “Howdy! dyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeye”

    • bubbez

      just asking, where does it say wendy?

    • Fallena

      Yay! cant wait to see the whole show on nov 6!!! <3

    • Mark

      Awwwww! Look at Spongebob’s eyes. He’s so happy. I never would have guessed that Spongebob was in love with Sandy.

    • Ed Sebele

      Wait, Vincent? Like Vincent Waller? Like the Vincent Waller who appeared in the credits just as the show started down hill? If it is, no offense but I liked the show when Drymon was the creative director, but not with Waller. I’m not saying it’s you. I just have to wonder if whoever’s bright idea this was also decided to make Squidward ink… >:(
      I just want to say that I’m not impressed.

  • liz

    The squirrel’s name is Sandy.

  • Nerwen Aldarion

    I don’t know whether to laugh over this or actually aww over it! So cute, I used to watch spongebob when I was young so it is a cherished part of my childhood (Albiet one I’ll NEVER admit to!) The sad thing is that I actually expected this!

    FYI it is Sandy not Wendy, I haven’t watched the show in YEARS and I still remembered that

  • Em

    Finally — after all these years of simmering sexual tension and longing glances over the crabby patty grill, Spandy are a couple!

    • Claire

      Ha ha ha! Spandy, I love it! My first child was born the same year Spongebob premiered, so Spongebob is a part of our household. I don’t think a day goes by where we don’t quote that show somehow. Spandy… still chuckling…

      • andrewstribling@yahoo.com

        lmao

    • Mandy

      Hahaha! Can’t wait to see what the kids will look like!

    • gigi

      Oh no you didn’t ‘cute couple’ their name!! I love it! Spandy 4 Ever!!

  • Kristen

    AWWW! I love that they’re getting married. Adorable.

  • amanda

    I always thought he didn;t swing that way

  • Joey

    I thought Spongebob was an asexual…?

  • lolsx

    awww!! thatsx adorable

  • Carla

    I’m confused…I was sure Spongebob and Patrick were a couple, especially after they adopted that baby clam :)

    • Ashley

      I actually thought that too! lol cute episode though. my nephew loved it.

    • Abigail

      hahaha. that was a good episode. but yeah.

    • STACY

      actually it was Patrick & Spongebob.

    • Alisa

      very funny

  • Danielle

    I’m just shock I didn’t even see that coming. my eye went big and my mouth is open.

    • Nicole

      I feel that same way!!!when i saw this on a commertial i cudnt close my mouth…nd i tried!

      • bubbez

        omg me 2!!!!!!

  • Derby

    Please. This is a marriage of animated convenience if I ever saw one.

  • Marissa

    This is absolutely adorable! I just love their eyes! It’s about time Spongey found love! Man, I grew up with this show. I’ve always thought Spandy would make a great couple but I never imagined it would get this far!

  • Sam

    I do not accept this. Spongebob has done everything but carry a rainbow flag and now he’s marrying a female mammal? This is just sad. I used to actually be a fan of this show (sadly), but then they started heavily censoring it and I dropped out. Sorry, Squarecheeks, maybe next time.

    • crys

      well, i am sure glad it is “censored”, the show is geered toward children not stoners

    • KayCee71

      Perhaps to appeal to the “left”, SpongeBob’s 1st love, Patrick, will shack up with Squidward. Think of all the jellyfish that will be “milked” for that relationship… Eesh!

  • Rachel

    Do not want Spongebob and Sandy to get married. I think it will definitely make the show weird, and detract from it’s charm.

    Do want: continuation of Spongebob and Patrick’s gay escapades; the lamest yet most endearing friendship on this earth.

    • Sparkington

      Spongebob and Patrick are not gay. What on earth would be “charming” about that? They’re buddies, like kids playing together.

    • Val

      This is the end of SB. nick always does this. once you get a special like this, it’s lights out forever to the show.

      • Anonymous

        Strange that actually makes sense…

    • Nicole

      that is the same xact way i feel

  • gsaintl

    LOVED “Spandy”!!

    The REAL question after seeing the bride in her wedding gown is…

    will SpongeBob be getting any tail!! LMAO!!

  • rainee 1234

    oh my god spongebob is the bomb my 2 girls love him and the rest of the crew wonder wut spandys kids will look like and if patrick will be his best man ?hmmmmm

  • Ale

    “get some tail?” ROFLM, well can’t say rest, this is for “G” audiences, right? OK, I have had 3 children (the older one will not admit) grow up to Spongey, how do you explain this to them, lol?! It’s one thing for us “adults” but my
    (2) 8 yr olds?! Actually w mine they are so smart they will dissect the whole darn thing while I am still gaping!! @ Spandey!! Love it!!

  • NTV/NAT Group, Ltd.

    That Asian dude from “Star Trek” is on “The New Newlywed Game” (w/ host Carnie ‘failure at cheater weight loss surgery’ Wilson) on GSN. If I never wanted to picture HIM having sex w/ his husband, just take a look at this article!!!

  • johnnyk

    They arent GETTING married. They will be having a flashback of when they WERE GETTING married. Which we never saw or heard about. It will be like a Family Guy flashback.

  • Kevin

    Sandy is kinda hot.. I only wish it was me getting married to her.
    Dang!

  • Esther

    This is a bad idea… Spongebob is not supposed to have any sexuality! He’s a sponge! And I mean, if he were to marry I thought the least they could do was to let him marry a nice girl sponge?

    Also, I always thought spongebob reproduced by budding, since, you know, he can yank off his arm and another one grows back

    • Brent

      The best way to remove sex from the equation is marriage. :-D

  • JMB

    This is some “green card” type of marriage so Sandy can stay in Bikini Bottom. It’ll never last. LOL

  • roxanne

    her name is sandy….. and i’m happy they finally did it. its about time. but when is this gonna be on the tv??

  • Rush

    Any word on the Patrick-Squidward pairing?

  • Amy Leigh

    Aww, I used to love this show. So cute. The moon-eyes and Spandy are just adorable.

  • Luke

    When did Sandy get such big boobs? And Spongebob belongs with Patrick. I mean, they even adopted a clam together.

    • Matt-i-atti

      who knows… Sophie from BB10 had MASSIVE boobs!

  • Jacqueline

    NOOOOOO!!!!

    • Johanna

      I know! Nooooooooo!!
      But why??! I hope this is just one of those promo things! :(

  • dinsdale

    I can’t believe how much I love this show. My kids still watch it on occasion, thank god, so I have an excuse to. I’m sure the flashback will be hysterical. It’ll probably perfectly lampoon a sappy sitcom moment for sure. The Spongebob crew pretty much always gets things right.

  • Christine

    What about Patrick??

  • jennab

    My 13-year-old son grew up on SpongeBob, and I watched every episode with him on long car rides, laughing harder at some than he ‘cuz certain things were over his head. Favorite episode ever: Training Day and Grandma’s Kisses. So smartly written and adorably animated, such heart and wit! Miss it!

    • Chanda

      I have to go with “Normal” and “Band Geeks.” Seeing Spongebob say “Hi. How are ya?” getsme every time. Or the one where Squidward was in an accident and they made him handsome. Love it.
