Pop Culture in Poetry

In one of the spongebob squarepants episodes, plankton fails to steal the krabby patty formula and looks outside to refresh his mind. However, he spots Mr. Krab's wife and falls in love with her at first sight. He asks her out and she accepts the offer. This made Mr. Krabs felt uneasy on what plankton is doing and tries to tell his mom that plankton is a bad person, but his mom still believes plankton is a good person. Later, plankton attempts to marry Mr. Krab's wife and she declines. This made plankton angry and he said "It's is better to be loved than not loved at all." The quote was from Lord Tennyson.

Also, in one of the episodes in Jimmy Neutron, everybody had to recite a poem in the classroom. Since Jimmy and Cindy were the top 2 students, they hated each other. When Cindy recited a poem, she talks about how her poem is about Jimmy Neutron and that caught everyone's attention. Jimmy got angry at her, but didn't fight back. Eventually, when it was Jimmy's turn, he recited a poem quoted from Shakespeare.
