No Malarkey in Bikini Bottom, often abbreviated to NMiBB, is a political satire spin-off of the animated series created by Golfpecks256. For the first three seasons, the series was co-owned by Golfpecks256, The Terrible Travis, and Squidnerd. Following this, Golfpecks256 left the series, and it was converted into a worker co-operative, the first fanon series to do so. Following the second Christmas special, Squidnerd was fired as the result of a staff vote. It was produced by Pineapple Entertainment, with Banana Studios and Kingshire Entertainment being co-producers for the first three and five seasons respectively. 
The series ran from May 8, 2020 to April 6, 2022, and lasted six seasons. A movie based on the series, Election Night in the Shallow Seas: Battle for the Soul of the Nation, premiered on December 10, 2020. A spin-off based on the series, No Malarkey in Bikini Bottom High, ran from March 13, 2021 to July 1, 2021.

==Production==
===2020===
In April, production for the series began, and the pilot came out on May 8. Three seasons were ordered.
On May 8, the pilot premiered.
On June 2, Golfpecks256 fired The Terrible Travis and demoted Squidnerd. In response, Travis, introduced a proposal that would restore his ownership stake in the series.
On June 10, The Terrible Travis was officially removed when Golfpecks256 continued to call for his removal and co-showrunner Squidnerd reaffirmed his support for terminating Travis from leadership. He was kept as a writer, out of a compromise between both showrunners. Despite this, Travis maintained his claim to ownership of the series, however chose not to further litigate the issue to avoid drama.
On June 30, Season 1 premiered.
On July 3, Squidnerd resigned from his position as showrunner, but remained as a writer.
On July 14, SBCA, through a contract of 1,000 Philippine pesos, acquired broadcasting rights and a seat on the board of directors. The same day, DanzxvFan8275 left the crew. The next day, Nintendo Bro 32 was hired as a writer.
On July 18, Golfpecks256 attempted to fired Travis from the series following a argument unrelated to the show. In response, Travis decided to re-litigate his claim to ownership of the series. The SBFW administration subsequently ruled in Travis' favor, confirming that he is in fact co-owner of the series and that Golfpecks256' attempt to fire him constituted a violation of the Content Ownership Policy. The next day, Travis and Golfpecks256 agreed to equal status between themselves and Squidnerd as a compromise. A new policy prohibiting political debate in the spin off's headquarters was also instituted.
On August 4, Season 1 ended. 
On August 10, Season 2 premiered.
On September 1, it was announced that Golfpecks256 cancelled the spin-off, shortly after being blocked for transphobic remarks and bigotry against Locknloaded23, causing her to quit the show. However, on September 2, Travis opened a proposal to continue the series, stating the cancellation was "unlawful". The proposal passed on September 7 with 91% support, and the next episode was subsequently posted on the same day.
On September 12, Season 2 ended.
On September 16, Season 3 premiered.
On September 23, Golfpecks256 said he "fired" Travis and Squidnerd, even though he cannot do that since they are co-owners of the series per the July 19 deal. He claimed that the firings were legitimate because he was "joking" when he agreed to the deal.
On October 18, the movie's release date was confirmed to be sometime in the Fall of 2020. A teaser poster for it was also released.
On October 30, Season 3 ended.
On December 10, the movie was released.
On December 17, Season 4 abruptly premiered without any prior announcement.

On February 11, it was revealed that a spin-off, No Malarkey in Bikini Bottom High, had been greenlit. 
On February 12, Squidnerd was fired on the charge of promoting perversion. He filed a successful appeal, and was re-hired two days later. 
On March 1, Dan was fired on the charge of being unproductive. He filed a successful appeal, and was re-hired two days later.

On June 23, Squidnerd was fired yet again, this time for unproductivity. He filed an appeal on June 25, which was approved the same day. However, three days later on June 28, he voluntarily resigned from the series. A random proposal to re-hire him passed a few days after that. 
On October 17, it was decided that all episodes remaining except the season finale were to be scrapped, due to The Terrible Travis and Squidnerd being lazy. Originally billed as the series finale, "The Really Big War Crimes Trial" premiered on October 20th. A standalone Christmas special aired on December 20th. 
On December 28, 2021, Kelpy G was fired from the series. On January 23, 2022, Dan was fired from the series. These firings left FireMatch and Travis as the sole remaining staff of the series. 
===2022 ===
The sixth season premiered on March 1, 2022. This marks the first season to be produced solely by Pineapple Entertainment, without Kingshire Entertainment. 
It was later determined that the season would be shortened to 10 episodes from 15 due to the lack of writers. It will also probably be the last season.
On April 1, it was announced that the sixth season would have a final count of 12 episodes, and that the series would be ending very soon from that date. 
On April 5, the series was renewed for Seasons 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23.
On April 6, Seasons 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 were cancelled. On the same day, the series ended. 
==Spin-Off==
On August 24, 2020, Golfpecks256 announced a spin-off entitled The Political Planet, which would take place after the events of the film. The Terrible Travis issued a legal challenge against this on August 31, 2020, stating: 
While a ruling on this was never made by the SFBW administration, the spin-off ended up never premiering, and the main series was renewed for a fourth and fifth season.
On February 11, 2021, another spin-off entitled No Malarkey in Bikini Bottom High was announced. Unlike The Political Planet, the production of this series was approved in a vote by the co-owners of the main series. It premiered on March 13, 2021 and ended on July 1, 2021. It centered around life at Bikini Bottom High.
