The Top Ten
1 Stephen Hillenburg Stephen McDannell Hillenburg was an American cartoonist, animator, director, producer, writer, voice actor, and marine biologist who was best known for creating the Nickelodeon animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. He also contributed to Rocko's Modern Life as a director and producer. He passed away on November 26, 2018 due to complications from ALS.

He’s the best. I cried when he passed away. My trashy classmates said that they were actually happy when he died because they hated Spongebob - IceBearRules

Of course he is the best! He made their mascot!

The creator of SpongeBob SquarePants.

He did Spongebob so duh

2 Chris Savino Christopher Mason "Chris" Savino (born October 2, 1971 in Royal Oak, Michigan) is an American animator, writer, producer, director, and storyboard artist. He is best known as the creator of The Loud House on Nickelodeon.

For those who haven't seen my updated remix for this list, I just want to say that with the advent of all these sexual harassment allegations against Savino, while he has given us The Loud House and has had a prolific career, this does not simply excuse his actions and his firing from Nickelodeon was well-deserved. Even if he did apologize for the allegations, I can't simply let it pass by that he's been sexually harassing women not just recently, but for over a DECADE. So if anyone is reading this, I just want to say this man should be reviled for all his disgusting actions against women and should forever be condemned for such.

Edit: In other words, SEND HIM TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS LIST!

I will admit, his episodes of Dexter's Laboratory and the Powerpuff Girls can be a bit boring at times, but at least they're not as boring as what Elliot Blake did to Space Ghost Coast to Coast! The Loud House is still a good show though.

NO! WHY HIM?! HE RUINED DEXTER'S LABORATORY AND THE POWERPUFF GIRLS?! Go ahead! HATE ME ALL YOU WANT! I still don't care!

I like a lot! He worked on some of my favorite shows

3 Butch Hartman Elmer Earl Hartman IV, better known as Butch Hartman, is an American animator, writer, director, producer, illustrator and actor, best known for creating the Nickelodeon shows The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, T.U.F.F. Puppy, and Bunsen Is a Beast.

Well, guys. It's the end of an era. Butch Hartman just recently released a video on his YouTube channel announcing that he's leaving Nickelodeon. It's not clickbait. It's not a joke. It's the real deal. So for this occasion, I just want to thank Butch Hartman for what he created for Nickelodeon and all his fans of his iconic shows and give him my best wishes for what's to come for him in the future for his career. May the legacy you left on Nickelodeon be remembered well, Hartman.

All three of the shows you listed were shows I really loved as a child (mainly Danny Phantom and Fairly Oddparents)

4 Michael Dante DiMartino Michael Dante DiMartino is an American animation director best known as the co-creator, executive producer, and story editor of the animated TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, both on Nickelodeon.
