As you all know there are currently three supervising directors on SpongeBob; Sherm Cohen, Dave Cunningham and Adam Paloian. Who is your favorite of the three SpongeBob supervising directors. Personally, I don't have one.

I guess I’d have to pick Uncle Sherm. He’s been with the show longer and sticks to the old style the best.
Not a big surprise, since Sherm was part of the pre-movie crew. And he came back after the second film.

the old style
How about "the style from before"? I really get tired from hearing the word "old" over and over.
As for directors, I'd have to pick Cunningham for his work on High Sea Diving and Old Man Patrick.
With Cohen, I have noticed most of his episodes have little to no background characters: Bottle Burglars, Chatterbox Gary, The Checkup, Doodle Dimension etc.

Dave Cunningham also did great work on Squid Noir. And speaking of episodes featuring background characters, My Leg! was handled by Adam Paloian, the youngest of the three.

So far it's a three way tie between Sherm, Dave and Adam.

Edit as of 9/4/2018: Still 2 votes each for all three.

Personally, I voted for Adam.

Cunningham is the only one out of these folks without a social media as far as I can tell.

I watch Cohen on DA and I found his tutorials super helpful when I was really starting to get serious about cartoons. My inspiration of story boarding pretty much starts with him.

Haaa Adam. I find it cool and inspirational that a fan of the show really grew up to work on it. I follow him on Tumblr and Twitter and he's a legit funny and creative guy, his human Spongebob is a gift to this world. I'm not as down with his art style as I am with the other two though.
I'm going with Cohen.

Actually, Dave and Adam are fairly active on Twitter. And yes, Adam said a couple of times that he was around 8 years old when the show started in 1999, so he's only about a year older than I am, if he was born in 1991.
