As Kenny jokes: “The sum total of my football knowledge could fit in Plankton’s jockstrap. When they brought up I was doing it, I said, ‘I really don’t know much about football,’ and they said, ‘That’s fine because the concept is going to be that the SuperBowl at Allegiant Stadium is just dropped into Bikini Bottom and it’s this crazy, unfamiliar, alien thing to SpongeBob.”
