Never having watched SpongeBob, I hear Popeye laughing and think that's the joke. Am I right?

Woah, you got it... I never noticed how similar their laughs are

The laugh is a play on nucleobases of DNA; adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T, not featured in the meme.)

Oh I definitely got the genetic reference already, just wanted to know if I was reading it appropriately as a laugh.

I actually saw a minute or two of SpongeBob and was surprised/annoyed they didn't seem to be moving underwater.

I think I expected the show to be more sophisticated in a useless way.

Heh, there actually is space between the surface and ocean floor where the show does act like they are underwater, but yeah it's a silly cartoon that often doesn't subscribe to rules of reality.

I do love that it's set in Bikini Bottom.

We nuked the hell out of the Bikini Islands for nuclear tests.

SpongeBob and his friends are all mutants.

Similar, the character to read it as is Mr. Krabs.
