'Avatar Bending' Lens Now Available on Snapchat

Ever wished that you could bend the elements like an Avatar master? Well, the bad news is you'll need to keep hoping for that dream to come true. However, you can now do some bending virtually!


Ever since Netflix re-added Avatar: The Last Airbender to its programming library in May, the buzz surrounding Nickelodeon’s beloved animated series has intensified, so there is no surprise that there is a Snapchat lens for it as well!

Snapchat filters and lenses range from dog faces to FaceTiming the former President Barack Obama, and everything in-between. The first geofilters were introduced on the app in August 2014, and were shortly followed by the face filters in January of 2015. In 2018, Snapchat upped the ante again when the service added a feature that allows users to create their own. Whereas lenses were once on a limited rotation for users, they can now press the explore magnifying glass and search through thousands of lenses at anytime.


The lens is called "Avatar Bending" and cycles through the types of bending from the series, but with a twist. Alongside water, fire, earth, air, and blood, is now the option of back bending. Users simply need to put their face on screen and open their mouth to find out what kind of bender they are.

"Avatar Bending" is live on Snapchat now!

Snapchat Transforms Popular SpongeBob SquarePants Memes Into Snapshot Filters

When it comes to memes and meme culture, there’s no-one more impressive than the one and only SpongeBob SquarePants. Everyone’s favourite sponge and his Bikini Bottom pals have been the focus of countless memes now, and you’ll soon be able to emulate them all yourself thanks to Snapchat!


Beginning this week, fans can meme themselves as SpongeBob SquarePants on Snapchat, thanks to a series of new filters that allow users to place themselves inside of some of the most famous internet memes based on the long-running animated series. The SpongeBob SquarePants memes (many of the same ones currently available as Masterpiece Memes toys at retailers around the world) are available to Snapchat users in the United States through December 22. Some Snapchat users will automatically see the SpongeBob SquarePants icon among the selection of lenses, while others can scan a special Snapcode to access the lenses. You can see the official description for the filters below.

For the first time ever, anyone can meme themselves on Snapchat as SpongeBob SquarePants and his Bikini Bottom friends. The exclusively designed lenses are available on Snapchat for a limited time only and feature the most popular characters and iconic meme moments from Nickelodeon’s hit animated series, including Imaginaaation SpongeBob, Surprised Patrick, Handsome Squidward and SpongeGar.

SpongeBob SquarePants’ memes are part of the Internet lexicon, and now fans can craft and share their own personalized versions of: being overly happy like Imaginaaation SpongeBob, being shocked like Surprised Patrick or showing both sides of themselves as Public Account vs. Private Account through Handsome Squidward and SpongeGar.

How to access lens via Snapcode:

Step 1: Simply open Snapchat and point the camera at the below Snapcode.


Step 2: Press and hold on the Snapcode on your screen to scan it.

Step 3: Once you see the below message, click “Unlock for 1 hour”

Step 4: Have fun! Share with friends, save in your camera roll & post yourself using the lens to your story!

The SpongeBob SquarePants lenses mimic Alpha Group’s 8-inch collectible Masterpiece Memes vinyl figures series. The collectible toys from Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants global master toy partner, bring to life the fan-favorite show and movie moments that have now become some of the most popular viral memes. Featuring exceptional details and window packaging for collector displays, the Masterpiece Memes figures include Mocking SpongeBob, Imaaagination SpongeBob, Surprised Patrick, SpongeGar and Handsome Squidward, are now available at Amazon, for SRP: $19.99.

SpongeBob SquarePants, which was recently greenlit for a 13th season, has reigned as the number-one kids’ animated series on TV for the last 17 years, while generating a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony award-winning Broadway musical which is now touring North America and a global fan base. SpongeBob SquarePants is seen in more than 208 countries and territories, translated in 55+ languages, and averages more than 100 million total viewers every quarter. SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Stephen Hillenburg and produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif.

Nickelodeon's is currently in the midst of the network's "Best Year Ever", a year-long global celebration of one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created. The “Best Year Ever” launched with the premiere of “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” an original mixed live-action and animated special earlier this summer, and leads up to the Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, coming May 2020.

A CG-animated prequel spin-off series, Kamp Koral, following 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants during his summer at sleepaway camp, is also slated to premiere during Summer 2020.

THQ Nordic and Nickelodeon are slated to release SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, a remake of the much-loved video game, very soon.

Viacom and Snapchat Launch Unprecedented Global Partnership

Original Viacom Inc. Press Release via Business Wire:

Viacom and Snapchat Launch Unprecedented Global Partnership

Wide-ranging Agreement to Boost Premium Video on Snapchat Discover With Two New Viacom Produced Channels

Viacom Granted Broader Rights to Sell Ads in its Own Snapchat Content, as well as Snapchat's U.S. Owned and Operated Ad Inventory

Snapchat to Increase Production of Live Stories Tied to Viacom's High Profile Awards Shows, Including MTV's Video Music Awards and EMAs, BET Experience, and More

February 09, 2016 06:30 AM Eastern Standard Time

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Viacom (NASDAQ:VIAB, VIA) and Snapchat today announced an unprecedented global partnership that capitalizes on and extends the unique expertise of both companies to creatively and authentically speak to millennial and post-millennial audiences.


The wide-ranging deal, anchored in both content production and advertising sales, will bring two high profile channels to Snapchat Discover -- a Comedy Central International channel and an MTV Channel in the U.S., which will complement the already successful Comedy Central and MTV International Discover channels. The agreement also grants Viacom the right to sell Snapchat's U.S. owned and operated advertising inventory, allowing Viacom to offer even more value to television advertisers who want to add Snapchat's wildly popular premium video platform to the media mix. In addition, Viacom also has agreed to provide Snapchat with expanded access so Snapchat can produce Live Stories covering more of Viacom's tent pole events.

"Viacom and Snapchat naturally complement each other in significant ways that make us ideal partners in both content and business development," said Wade Davis, Chief Financial Officer, Viacom. "Snapchat captures young audiences on an intimate and immersive mobile video platform while Viacom is the leader in premium long- and short-form storytelling for these same audiences. Add in Viacom's custom marketing solutions and commitment to evolve our global mobile strategy and you've got a partnership that is great for both companies, for advertisers, and is a real evolution of the marketplace."

In addition to selling its advertising alongside its own content on Snapchat Discover, Viacom will now also have the right to sell Snapchat's U.S. owned and operated ad inventory, which includes ads in ongoing Stories such as "New York," capturing daily happenings in New York City, and non-partnered holiday Live Stories, such as "Valentine's Day." Viacom is the only television company to have this arrangement with Snapchat.

"Snapchat provides the best storytelling experience on mobile. Through this partnership with Viacom, we can now offer television advertisers a way to tell their stories across television and mobile in a frictionless way," said Imran Khan, Snapchat's Chief Strategy Officer.

On the content side of the deal, Viacom will further invest in the creation of original premium video content specifically for Snapchat Discover, reinforcing Viacom's innovative approach and dedication to delivering fans globally the content they want wherever they want to consume it. While MTV International and Comedy Central have previously been committed to creating original content on Discover, additional resources will now be put towards the launch of an MTV US Channel and a Comedy Central International channel on the platform.

MTV's new Snapchat Discover channel will feature a wide range of content created exclusively for the platform and updated daily. At launch on Tuesday, February 9, this includes MTV News articles and video with design and art direction unique to Snapchat, exclusive celebrity interviews, and more. MTV is also developing additional Snapchat-native content, including brand-new original series and reinvented MTV fan-favorite franchises for the platform. More details on original programming will be announced at a later date.

Comedy Central will launch internationally on Snapchat Discover on Wednesday, February 10, delivering always funny content to fans globally. The new international channel will serve Snapchat users daily doses of comedy, from curated "WTF News" articles and exclusive videos with their favorite comedians to upcoming original series set to debut on Snapchat Discover in the coming year. Since its U.S. launch in January 2015, the Comedy Central channel on Snapchat Discover has become a vibrant pipeline for Comedy Central to develop fresh comedic voices and original content. It is one of the most popular brands on the platform.

Another key element of the Viacom/Snapchat partnership will leverage Snapchat's Live Stories, which are curated collections of user-submitted content covering major events and places around the world. Through the partnership, Snapchat will have unique access to cover Viacom's one-of-a-kind, tentpole events, such as MTV's Video Music Awards (VMAs), BET Experience, and MTV's EMAs.

The deal grew organically out of a dynamic Viacom/Snapchat relationship, including many custom advertising campaigns created by in-house creative agency Viacom Velocity that ran in Snapchat Discover, as well as "break-the-internet" level of fan engagement for Viacom events covered by Snapchat Live Stories and Snapchat Discover channels launched a year ago.

About Viacom
