"Spongebob Boy," as he's come to be known, was pulling faces behind the ABC's political commentator Barrie Cassidy during an analysis of the country's 2016-17 Federal Budget. It eventually sent this kid, plus some of us, to sleep.

The Daily Mail Australia tracked down Spongebob Boy, a seven-year-old by the name of James Watling from Australia's political capital, Canberra. Turns out his mother Kassie was only hoping to snap a photo with ABC political commentator Annabel Crabb.
"James pulling faces was -- we thought -- not disturbing anyone so we let it go. He constantly amuses us. I'm pleased James gave some amusement to viewers on TV," Watling said. She expressed that Spongebob Boy was more into "schoolyard politics," with his only goal to find out how much more pocket money he could make from the Budget.
Canberra, boring? Who would have known. We feel for you, Spongebob Boy.
