    I remember that animation! Thanks for the crossword, and the TV theme song earworm.
    • Philip Chow constructor · 7 months ago
      Theme explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/l9w83w/who_lives_in_a_moai_under_the_sea/ [BIKINIBOTTOM
      54ARock + Moai + pineapple locale[------------]
      is where Patrick, Squidward, and Spongebob live]
      • Frisco17 🤓5:02 · 7 months ago
        What a smart theme! Great gridwork, too.
        • Emma Oxford 🤓4:54 · 7 months ago
          Lol. I think I must be the only kid born in the early 90s who never watched Spongebob, so I didn't get the theme until the end. (I did know he lived in BIKINIBOTTOM
          54ARock + Moai + pineapple locale[------------]
          .) Nice puzzle! PS - having the word "bag" in the clue for SADDLEBAG
          27AAlternative to a pannier (a bike pouch, not a cheese used in Indian cuisine)[---------]
          is a dupe.
