    I remember that animation! Thanks for the crossword, and the TV theme song earworm.

      Theme explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/l9w83w/who_lives_in_a_moai_under_the_sea/ [BIKINIBOTTOM54ARock + Moai + pineapple locale[------------] is where Patrick, Squidward, and Spongebob live]
      • Frisco17 🤓5:02 · 2022-09-09T16:02:30.919Z
        What a smart theme! Great gridwork, too.

          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 BIKINIBOTTOM54ARock + Moai + pineapple locale[------------].) Nice puzzle! PS - having the word "bag" in the clue for SADDLEBAG27AAlternative to a pannier (a bike pouch, not a cheese used in Indian cuisine)[---------] is a dupe.

            Thanks! Changed it to “pouch” :)
