Spongebob & Sandy Cheeks Parody Top Gun 2 in New Crossover Poster
Sandy Cheeks joins Spongebob SquarePants, who looks pretty cool as Maverick, in a Top Gun 2 parody poster. Spongebob SquarePants is one of the longest-running American animated series, and it has become a massive franchise for Nickelodeon and Paramount, with movies and spinoff series following. The original show, created by marine science educator Stephen Hillenburg, premiered in 1999, and it is still going strong in 2022, as it just got renewed for a fourteenth season in March, and there are more film projects in the works as well. Clearly, Spongebob Squarepants is still in high demand.
Spongebob Squarepants follows the life of the titular character and his friends as they live, work, and play in Bikini Bottom, an underwater city inhabited by fish and other sea creatures. There is the grumpy Squidward who works with and lives next to Spongebob, the greedy Mr. Krabs who runs the Krusty Krab, and Spongebob's best friend, Patrick Star. The notable exception to this pattern is Spongebob's friend Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from Texas who survives underwater by wearing a helmet and making her house in a Treedome under the sea.

In a parody poster from Nickelodeon's Instagram, Sandy Cheeks joins Spongebob in a nod to the wildly successful Top Gun film. Of course, under the water, the title is changed to Top Sponge, and the tagline is Spongebob's well-known catchphrase, «I'm ready.» The post's caption further acknowledges the film by mentioning how Spongebob also does all his own stunts, which is the practice of Top Gun star Tom Cruise.
