Modern Spongebob Is ONLY For Kids 

i noticed that too, i can't really put my finger on it because it takes place in the same setting, but it just feels different now

@@nyacchiatos The Vibrancy, less aqua colours, blue's and so on. It looks like they are outside in actual daylight instead of being underwater.

Very agreed. The only marine thing about SpongeBob is that they're all fish, that's it. Old episodes had tar lakes, the flying Dutchman, and it seems like there were more marine creatures back then. ​@@thephoenixking1086

My biggest problem with modern Spongebob is that it's just not funny.

@@reversalmushroom Probably because you're not a kid anymore.

When people make that excuse it makes me so annoyed

Usually it's about Humors, people just doesn't know what to say so they uses "you're all grown ups"

I mean totally. SB was enjoyable for my little self or my 40 y-o dad. OG seasons were universal. Now it's just SILLY KIDDO DUM DUM SKIBIDI TOILET

At least it's not as bad as Marge's VA. Kenny's still doesn't sound like it was put through a ringer.

Marge's sounds genuinely like something messed up there, Tom Kenny still can do really good work on other things, it just sounds like Spongebobs voice either isn't something he can do or something he wants to do anymore.

His voice was this deep in Season 1 and 2. I think he's just trying to go back to that. I heard that he's trying to do a deeper voice lately because a focus group of child participants preferred a deeper voice to a higher one. Google it.

@@mechajay3358 right I haven’t seen a new episode of SpongeBob in God knows how long but when I heard his voice on this video I was literally like “who the hell is that?”

@@reversalmushroomI remember that scene but not the name… Wait, maybe it’s the Valentines Day one

There's no way a real human could've written that. Like, you couldn't make Spongebob that out-of-character unintentionally. At least I hope not.

Yes he is.. it was literally canon

And Neptune literally spits the patty out to eat it again, because it tastes so good

@@misslady2639 Neptune was also technically canon until getting wildly different interpretations in the movies, much to everyone's confusion. Guess that hasn't changed with Squidward's mother in this episode.

Never seen a more relatable comment about what I think of it now, and what makes even worse is the fact that insane moments and/or just fully nonsense or bonkers shows have been done well before since a lot of the jokes revolve around the absurdity at their disposal and since they use the potential of it, it’s pretty darn funny when it ever was used for a movie or shows idea, Even if it was only used FOR the humor instead. But I think new SpongeBob could’ve had the mix of the more chill and laidback atmosphere most of the older seasons aspired towards, since SpongeBob barely even started with the concept of just sheer insanity.

Very accurate

Stop the bs the old seasons wasn’t a kids show u boomer

Not just the first three. Up to s8 was enjoyable for adults

@@7Kazi7 agree to disagree, but I think the newer from 1-3 to even 4 and of course! the movie had a lot of clever if not forceful humor (done right) in the majority of their episodes outside of a couple of misses here and there. And with seasons 6-14, it feels like either the jokes are just…foot fetish or some kind of gross-out, if not, anything that would only appeal to the people who WOULD’VE been a kid during some of those seasons

How i feel about alot of shit

Nothing past Season 3 is canon

@@s1nistr433SpongeBob was great up to season 5 or 6

@@s1nistr433 I bet you’re the kind of guy that doesn’t have any friends.

Same here

This

literally..

It's even mentioned multiple times throughout the show that love is an essential ingredient for the Krabby Patty recipe.

Having negative continuity has bitten this show in the butt for quite a while. They can take something long established and just throw it out, and not in the "what if"-sort of way. If they want to make Rock bottom into a weird fever dream that never existed, they could. It wouldn't make any sense, but it would give them a free episode when they are out of concepts for a week.

@@lpfan4491 They kind of did something similar with Rube Goldfish, where at first he was just a one-off character for some random season 11 episode that was heavily implied to not even be real and just a character everyone imagined. However, starting with "SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout," Rube basically became a common reoccurring side character that they completely retconned him to be an actual real character and not just some imaginary character as implied by his debut episode.

​@@rustyshackleford234 Oh, I member

Honestly the "nostalgia bait" references are usually fine, it's only when they make full episodes on em when it becomes a problem. The episode where they gave Nosferatu an entire side plot and the sequel to Idiot Box weren't that good.

I personally hate them, hell, I hate it in any cartoon. Referencing old jokes, let alone making AN ENTIRE FUCKING EPISODE BASED OFF THAT OLD JOKE is lazy and stupud

@@rustyshackleford234what?

It's like I say about "kids" cartoons needing a strong morale core to be "good" spongebob had that back in the day.

@AndyBlack-po6dtI said the same thing! And this was/is one of my favorite shows of all time

@AndyBlack-po6dtactually didn't they make the Patrick show? Did it not go well??

Didn't Mama Krabs have a changed voice in S4? They only did that to not make her sound like a man, and more of a woman.

@AndyBlack-po6dt Modern Spongebob feels like a soulless reboot of the original... Despite still technically being the same series.

Mama Krabs was played by Paul Tibbit

It was written by Mike Bell, someone who worked on the series in seasons 2-4.

@@maxsteellatino3241 good point. i feel like the idea was not thought out, or developed enough. some more conflict from spongebob, mr. crabs, and squidward would have made the episode more interesting. like for example, in grandma's kisses the idea resembles momegedon, however the conflict from spongebob straddling the line between what it mean to be an adult and bo longer a kid gave the episode depth. whoch is what momegedon lacks.

I disagree hard. The concept seems to just be “what if mom did this?” Shallow and definitely not something that fits S1-3.

It will always be hilarious.

honestly for me it's been the opposite, i've heard the internet repeat the jokes from seasons 2 and 3 so much they've gotten old lol. season one is still awesome tho, best season of the show.

Unfortunately probably won't because of AI

I mean... even though I think it's time for Tom Kenny to tone down on voice acting, at the same time, I wouldn't really let him go from his favorite character. Mel Blanc didn't give up on voicing his Looney Tunes characters, despite a... painful car accident...

Same.. reminds me of my own manipulative mother.. and also the way they were doing all this nerd stuff in the basement like DND and video games while yelling for their mums I felt like they were poking fun at the stereotype of nerds who live in their moms basement. Just plain offensive to video game fans too... Its not my fault I can't find a job right now so seeing that just felt like a slap in the face

I like her new design tbh, her old one looked too similar to Squidward's grandma.

@@ThrillsofColdplayyou should. They’ll find a way to ruin it.

Was just thinking of this too.

It's the common problem of people seeing something meant for the whole family, and automatically label it as exclusively for children, especially when they wanna justify bad writing, as if kids don't deserve any quality or something xd

I definitely prefer this to the sterile look of seasons 4-9a, but since Hillenberg died, the writing regressed to the point where the animation is compensating for the joke writing

Yea, and thing which I really hate in the modern spongebob is that they still “must” torturing/humaliting squidward, atleast in old episodes, squidward has happy end but in new episodes they won’t give him a happy ending for some reasons.

you clearly don't know how little kids today are lol, they don't give a crap about that they'll watch anything if you make it silly enough. let us not forget the existence and popularity of Skibidi Toilet

@@adamcurazi2122 did you actually watch old spongebob lol? even in seasons 1-4 he almost never got a happy ending at the end of an episode. seriously, at the top of your head try naming at least FIVE episodes where Squidward at the end of the episode got a good ending.

​@Xhepyxopila Have you actually watched skibidi toilet? There's an over arching storyline that's more consistent and retains it's continuity unlike newer SpongeBob. While also not having much, if at all any dialog. Wall E was praised for having so little dialog between the mains and doing a really good "show, don't tell". Like PiB The Last Wish also did. The mentality that thinks kids will just watch anything you sit them in front of is not only wrong on a general basis, since not all do, but it's also bad for them. Look at the studies on cocomelon alone. You are clearly forgetting that kids are people too. They are in development or alpha stages of their life where little things to adults really impact them more and those things help develop what the child will become into. If anything, we shouldn't brush off quality because "it's a kids show". We should hold children's media to a much higher standard than adult media because adults have the mental capability to distinguish between good and bad material and morals, while children do not. Disney's Wish movie was awful for this. "Just keep wishing" is a terrible line and downright immoral. The villian was not the bad guy until the plot needed it. He made really good points and explained his reasonings behind who's wish gets granted vs those who do not. Like do you really want to argue that we should grant every wish? Especially when people like Jafar exist in their other movies. What would he wish for? Or say Joseph Stalin for an irl example. At least the old tried and true cliches were not only impactful, but could also be used as a life lesson that didn't require it to be on someone elses gravestone or loss of blood and time. I can keep wishing for whatever reason, but until I strive for it, what change can happen from just wishing for it? At least inside out had a good premise that demonstrated that emotions are not all bad, even if they feel bad. I wish I had seen that movie sooner than I did for that reason. Look at Lunchables recent bit in the news for having excess lead in them. Like 70%- 76% above the allowed limit. This is the consequences of treating kids "products" with less than subpar quality. So it's not just the shows, but everything, and now there's a lot more lead in a lot of children that didn't need to be there. Also, when the parent can also enjoy it, it can bring up a common ground to make bonding much easier/faster for you and your child for a better development of not only the child, but their bond with you.....which is important if you don't want to be cast into a nursing home when you come of that age. Please treat humans like humans. Kids are just adults in training and deserve the best upbringing possible. Would you want a lawyer to grow up on good moral material like older SpongeBob, or do you want a lawyer who grew up on cocomelon? I ask because that's the cycle of life, and it matters quite a lot especially when us, the older generations, have to pass the torch onto them. So why again should we not care about their development?

original spongebob is old hip hop. new spongebob is trap music.

I agree. There's little to no decent stuff popular amongst children on the internet. All kids watch are loud, obnoxious (bootleg) cartoons with no educational messages¹ and terrible/dumb plots², as well as garbage like Skibidi toilet³ or Among Us⁴, as well as adult cartoons (Family Guy, South Park, Rick and Morty, etc.). And let's not forget the disaster that is Lankybox. 1. I personally don't think EVERY children's story needs to teach a lesson (but it's usually better if one does) 2. The story is one the most important aspects of any piece of media. Without a coherent story or conflict, the cartoons are just random hijinks happening to entertain kids. 3. Even as a 9 year old I hated toilet humor. Just because you're showing or mentioning something gross doesn't make it funny. 4. I FREAKING HATE Among Us because it ruined memes. All of the jokes got old quickly and they were inescapable.

I completely agree, there's a lot of other factors though. SpongeBob is actually one of the better if not best running cartoon. That's how bad things have gotten. The 2000s are like a lost golden age. Corporations don't want "old white men" running things and I stead hire slop generators. Is it any wonder why anime took over animation?

Me too I just watched a couple of season 1 episodes for the 25th anniversary and it still holds up even better than I remember. Granted I only have the first 100 episodes on DVD (that's usually where my childhood with SpongeBob begins and ends.

You only hate it because you never watched classic cartoons, you only watch writer based shit like Xmen 97 or Owl House which care more about making people cry than being funny.

that's why disney cancelled the owl house. around 2020 disney channel decided to age their target audience down from 9-14 to 6-11 and the owl house didn't fit that new direction, since the fanbase already largely skewed older than the previous target audience, since the show's fandom is mostly teens/young adults, but due to the target demographic being shifted even younger, they didn't have the tween overlap to rely on like gravity falls did
