I really liked this the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack when the cartoon series premiered. Sadly, I haven't seen much after season 2. I'm not even sure anything new was produced. In any case, I'd qualify this cartoon as a Spongebob Squarepants clone that doesn't begin to suck after a few seasons.
Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack could be classified as a ripoff because of the main character, Flapjack. His personality is ver similar to Spongebob and Patrick. Like Spongebob, Flapjack is innocent, loving, 'helpful' and childish. He likes cuddles, hearts and hugs. Like Patrick, Flapjack is kind of retarded. On the other hand, his best friend Captain K'nuckles is Squidward clone. Both are grumpy and constantly annoyed by the actions of the other main character.
However, Misadventures of Flapjack succeeds in demarcating itself and improving upon the basic premises of Spongebob Squarepants. The animation and art is much better. There are many scenes that are reminiscent of the good old Ren & Stimpy cartoon. The various character personalities are much less cliche then in SpongeBob. Flapjack, K'nucles, Bubby and the rest of the gang are all given enough backstory and flesh to be interesting. I'd have to say my favorite Misadventures of Flapjack characters are Peppermint Larry and his candy wife.
I got to get off now. Goodnight!
