SpongeBob roasts Leonardo DiCaprio at Nickelodeon Super Bowl 2024
While some football fans watched the Super Bowl on CBS last night, those in the know tuned in to Nickelodeon for a slightly more unhinged version of the broadcast – with SpongeBob SquarePants attempting to Leonardo DiCaprio.
As the camera panned to 49-year-old DiCaprio in the crowd, the game's commentators referenced Leonardo the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and his love of pizza, saying, “Leonardo 'da cap is low.'”
SpongeBob, voiced by Tom Kenny, and then added: “Leonardo DiCaprio, 25! Hahaha, that's about his dating history.
The dig came as a shock to many viewers, some of whom were surprised that SpongeBob had it in him. “I was talking about the NFL, but I decided to do the Nickelodeon broadcast of the game and I was just listening to Spongebob make a joke about Leonardo DiCaprio only dating women in their early 20s on national television and I think that amazing,” wrote one amused fan. via X.

Another viewer wondered if DiCaprio can ever recover from the burn, writing, “No, Leonardo DiCaprio is f–king done bro. Imagine being roasted live on TV by SPONGEBOB F–KING SQUAREPANTS.
DiCaprio's dating life has long been the subject of public discussion, with many observers joking over the years that he doesn't date women over a certain age. Most recently, the Oscar winner famously split from his ex-girlfriend Camila Morrone shortly after she turned 25, she moved on Vittoria Cerettialso 25.
“Things are going so well that Leo is even exclusive,” says an insider We weekly of DiCaprio and Ceretti in November 2023. “Vittoria is all he thinks about.”
While SpongeBob's roast of DiCaprio was one of the most brutal burns on the Nickelodeon broadcast, it certainly wasn't the only moment that caused a stir. At one point in the second quarter, Dora the Explorer – who served as a “rules analyst” during the game – stopped by to ask if the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers needed a map to help find the end zone. (At that point the score was 3-0, in favor of the 49ers.)
Tina Fey's joke at the 2014 Golden Globes, “And now, like a supermodel's vagina, let's all give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio” was particularly fitting!

That same quarter, Dora explained the concept a false startand then sang, 'Where are we going?' Boots jumped up on the monkey and replied, “Five yards back!”
The Nickelodeon broadcast was also identified Travis Kelce in a chyron like “Taylor Swifthis friend.” When the Chiefs scored their first touchdown, a subtitles under Coach Andy Reid read: “Three hours later… finally scored a TD!”
As the Nickelodeon crew may have let you know, the Chiefs ultimately won the game 25-22.
