Busy Phillips: “I can’t stand SpongeBob SquarePants”
Say whaaat? Busy Phillips isn’t a fan of SpongeBob SquarePants.
The actress’ hate of the cute little sponge is so great, even her three-year-old daughter Birdie is aware of it.
“This will make me unpopular, but I can’t stand SpongeBob SquarePants,” she told OK!.
“It drives me crazy. I hate it. I hate everything about it. It’s funny because Birdie will see SpongeBob somewhere and say ‘Mama does not like SpongeBob.’ It’s just a character out in public, and she knows that I don’t like that.
“It’s the cartoon, the way it’s drawn, the voices — I’m totally alienating any hope of getting a voiceover job from those people, but it grates on me. I cannot deal with it.
“We’re really into Super Why and Umizoomi, which are two educational shows that they show on PBS and Nick Jr., but you can get them on Netflix and iTunes.
“Umizoomi is all preschool math-related things about patterns and numbers, and Super Why is letters and reading.
“Those are two shows that we love, and then, she loves the Winnie the Pooh movies. We always make sure we have that, and she likes the Disney thing. But the Disney movies get a little scary in parts for her, so they’re not the best thing because it’s more for me to watch with her. We fast forward through the gruesome chapters.”
