Dobrik helps bring to life the nautical nonsense of SpongeBob SquarePants by guiding the voice cast to recreate the most memorable moments and lines from the show. Dobrik will also lead the cast through a lightning round of the best one-liners and iconic quotes, later joining them for a brand-new rendition of the “F.U.N. Song.”
