SpongeBob LittleBigPlanet PSP Commercial (also known as SpongeBob PSP Commercial) refers to a commercial featuring the character SpongeBob playing the game LittleBigPlanet on the PSP.

Background

On November 18, 2009, all four Viacom channels hosted 24 hours of SpongeBob Squarepants called “Think Happy Day”. Comedy Central, being one of the channels, devoted itself to the wildest, most absurd and well known rumors of the show named “Captain’s Special”. Some of the rumors that were from these selected episodes were:

  • The rumor that SpongeBob is already around the age of 20.
  • The rumor that SpongeBob sat down on a photocopier without pants on at a company party (inferring that he might have photocopied his bottom).
  • The rumor that Sandy is in a witness protection program.
  • The rumor that Mr. Krabs is taking drugs.
  • The rumor that SpongeBob is gay and transvestite.

YouTube user JANTista999 posted a video from one of the commercials on the same day “Captain Secrets” aired, where at the 29 second mark, a see one second clip of the commercial can be seen. The PSP model seen in the commercial specifically is a PSP 1000.[1][2]

It is not known whether the commercial is promoting the PSP console itself, or the game LittleBigPlanet. A possible theory is that the special was airing SpongeBob related bumpers and interstitials, making the commercials mostly SpongeBob related, as the YouTube video was uploaded on the same day that Captain Special happened.

Availability

Not much is known about the commercial outside of the aforementioned one second of footage from a poor cut, and information on it's day of airing.

It is widely believed that JANTista999 has the whole recording of the commercial, but the channel has not been active since 2009, leaving it unlikely that the full recording would be posted.

As of 2023, no new leads or content have been found.
