Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies features a hilarious SpongeBob reference

Aye, aye, Captain!

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies is filled with classic one-liners, but Carver’s unexpected and delightful reference to the beloved SpongeBob SquarePants series is the one that takes the cake.

In Zombies mode, Carver will mention, “Wanna see how fast I can reload? Wanna see it again?” The minute I heard this line, I already knew what he was poking fun at, especially as someone who quotes SpongeBob religiously. This dialogue is a nod to the show’s iconic Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V episode, where the cast transcends into a Justice League-like ensemble.

SpongeBob, in particular, is the one Carver references, specifically when our favorite sponge states, “Wanna see me run to the mountain and back? You wanna see me do it again?” Carver, of course, does his own version of it, and it’s surprising to see such a hilarious line end up in a highly stressful mode like Zombies.

I never thought my two worlds would clash, but I’m all for it. And, if you want to unlock this line for yourself, it tends to happen whenever Carver sips on one of the Perk Colas.

Carver’s nod to SpongeBob SquarePants isn’t his only memorable line. He’s got a lot more than that, mostly involving a smattering of curse words hurled at the zombies. It’s made me laugh more than a few times, and now, Carver has become one of my favorite Operators because of it.

There are likely many more funny references to find in Black Ops 6. In fact, a player has found one regarding another show, Brooklyn 99, with a “Stop stealing my yogurt! – Terry” Post-it. I can’t wait to see what other shows the game will mention, giving us a whole lot of Easter Eggs to discover.
