In my attempts at active watching I decided to mute the television and leave the channel on the popular cartoon Spongebob Squarepants. I chose to replace the audio with a mix of hip hop tracks. The experience I received from the two medias was priceless. Just like the Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd phenomenon, Spongebob Squarepants and hip hop turned out to be a wonderful marriage. At certain points in the show, the characters would move, or dance as I referred to it, to the beat, and the non-language specific movement of their cartoon mouths would recite verse after verse as if Spongebob himself had composed the song. There is also something about the contrast between an innocent cartoon and a hardcore rap that tends to be absolutely hilarious. I later changed the channel to another cartoon, Dexter’s Laboratory, but the sync between music and action didn’t match as well as the Spongebob cartoon. I would advise everyone to try this for a good laugh, sober or not.
