### Year(s)

2007 - 2013

An Albanian dub of *SpongeBob SquarePants* (transliterated as ***SponxhBob SkuerPents***) first premiered on Top Channel on July 14, 2007. The dub aired on weekends. The first seven seasons of the show were dubbed, with season 7 concluding on May 11, 2013; on November 10, 2013, the dub would air for the final time in 7 years, being officially replaced with *The Space Kidettes* on December 29, 2013.

Concurrently, the dub was reairing on Bang Bang for a while, this time titled ***SfungjerBob PantallonKatrori***. It started airing on that channel on November 14, 2010, about 3 years after it initially debuted on Top Channel. The dub stopped airing on the channel some time around late 2013.

Nothing was archived of this dub online, although trinklets of cast information would be slowly discovered. Eventually, the dub returned to Top Channel on August 2, 2020, airing as many episodes possible on a daily. On April 4, 2021, the show aired again on a Sunday, and the following week it only aired on Saturday before it stopped altogether. The next Sunday and the following week, *Avatar: The Last Airbender* aired instead. It remains unknown if the remaining episodes of season 7 were dubbed; just as well, a few episodes were skipped that are unconfirmed to have aired or not when the show was initially on the channel. Regardless, the episodes that re-aired at the channel had finally been archived by those who expressed interest in finding the dub.

This dub in particular gained an *infamous* presence in the Lost Media Wiki community around the time the dub was discovered to exist, with what was described as "intense interest" in the dub being found. It had lead to no dubs other than "notable" English and, ocassionally, Japanese dubs to be tackled on their wiki.

On June 13, 2016, a second Albanian dub would air on Çufo, continuing from season 8 and onwards, and giving the show the title ***BobSfungjeri Pantallon-Katrori*** (***BobSfungjeri Pantallona-katrori*** at first).

Three clips of SpongeBob SquarePants were released on the social media pages of Omrop Fryslân in 2017. Clips were released of the episodes "Survival of the Idiots", "New Student Starfish" (alternate upload), and "Life of Crime".

Omrop Fryslân has confirmed over Instagram messages that the three segments they posted are the only ones that exist, and that the episodes were only ever dubbed as clips instead of in full.

In October 2022, a clip of the episode "Chocolate with Nuts" was posted on TikTok by Omrop Fryslân, the clip itself is a parody of the original scene as instead of SpongeBob and Patrick selling chocolate, they sell "Suikerbrood" (*sûkerbôle* in West Frisian).
