we were FORCED to watch CURSED Spongebob episodes...

Kid named Stream:

SpongeBob SquarePants has kinda gone downhill ever since Stephen Hillenberg died

What's the better insult, Spongeboob, or Boobchoi.

Considering they also have to draw similar stuff for The Simpsons, I’d say it doesn’t phase them. Besides, the weird stuff in the show could possibly be considered normal humor in Korea.

If it helps to know, I was a child of the late 00s/ early 10s and I thought the show was annoying till I searched the early episodes for myself. The memes helped!

They still show the classic episodes though, so everyone is gonna know them anyway. And the new episodes are actually good if you actually watch them and stop jumping on the modern SpongeBob is trash bandwagon.

@@brinkgruffan8218 most people like to say the new episodes are trash because of the exaggerated expressions

It had so much charm to it. SpongeBob seemed to some like a dumb show back then, but boy oh boy 😅 It’s quality has dropped to almost entirely gross out humor. The older seasons actually had unique and clever ideas and atmospheres.

SpongeBob got much better at season 9 but it will never be better than 1-4.

That’s why everything the pencil draws is evil

That artist screaming used to scare out of me as a kid, but now, this is pretty relatable as someone who is an artist. That poor artist.

@@poweroffriendship2.0 yeah, that's me when I'm inking a page & I smear a perfect line.

They also play Larry the lobster and the realistic fish head on the news

He's also the VA for the ice cream man

And doodlebob was in the classic seasons

Facts!

No its because he doesn't wet the Reed for the mouthpiece. So it sounded forced. also the notes were forced so if he changed his style it would sound better.

@@bizzaroblake2519Ah that makes sense, I wonder if he even could wet the reed underwater lol

@@jacobplute1655 SpongeBob can as he did once

@@bizzaroblake2519 well squidward has no excuse then

@@jacobplute1655 indeed

What the fuck??? Why???

Phobias work in weird and stupid ways

Oh so your horsefly phobia is extremely strong?

It’s so detailed and shaped oddly

Cuz it's the good kind of weird

I rather the new good episodes. Or bad episodes. Or the mid seasons.

No one asked 💀

Yeah there's also a theory that the main characters represent the 7 deadly sins. Or that all the fish are actually humans in a fish costume cult. Or that the entire show is Mrs Puff's halucinations. Or that Sandy is an undercover reporter helping to film a reality drama/nature documentary hybrid show within the show

@@ShotgunLlama Goody Goober’s being an ALIEN CULT

Or the basically confirmed theory that the characters are mutant freaks that have been exposed to nuclear radiation for generations.

He's getting welfare checks

There's a fan comic where Krabs discovered a whale lying down with a bleeding face and baby Pearl is crying under her dead mother's arms and he decided to raise her as his own daughter. Heartwarming, but the way you said that Krabs is a whale hunter similar to Captain Ahab who feels guilty of what he did makes the comic more heartbreaking.

I hate that episode.

Who’s Mr. Enter?

@@LynR.M.1378 the guy criticized turning red for not thinking about the context of a disguised woman near a school in 2002 compared to now. Even saying “this film takes place one year after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. If a school saw a disguised woman carrying something in her perce, she wouldn’t asked questions by the security guard. She would tackled by the police.”. Oh and also a cartoon reviewer on RU-vid.

@@Harrymation-productions sounds like if trump was a RU-vidr

@@LynR.M.1378 well technically he is a republican, but not decent kind.

Don't forget one of the newer episodes: Ink Lemonade.

what about the scene where squidward got his toenail ripped off?

One Coarse Meal would like to say hello.

I genuinely don't see the huge problem with it, the only problem I had as a kid, is I got a splinter at six flags a week after I watched this episode

I've seen more horrific lol

I remember that one. Really wish I didn't.

Ughhh. Just thinking about makes me cringe.

Thanks for the reminder. I’m gonna go try to forget that image again.

I'd like to not remember that episode. Or to love a Krabby patty. Just yuck!

minus the toenail scene, the episode isn’t that bad. ​@@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDennisTRF

and old spongebob

SpongeBob

They brought back Fred and gave him his own episode about his leg. In the earlier Spongebob episodes the my leg sound effect wasn’t even used for Fred. They slowly turned a sound effect into a character.

@@spirallingtoaster9565 See, that episode was actually pretty damn funny though

@@spirallingtoaster9565 actually it was used for Fred the very first time the sound effect appeared in Season 1. It was in the episode "Arrgh!" where Mr Krabs forces Spongebob and Patrick to go on a treasure hunt based on a board game that he's obsessed with.

I'm fine with Bubble Bass being brought back, it actually happened back in season 8's Plankton's Good Eye but Nosferatu was brought back in season 11's The Night Patty which was already too much but then we got both an episode where he got way more screen time AND the new character that was introduced in SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout in season 12, Slappy Laszlo (imagine pronouncing that last name) got his own episode in season 13 and they're both AWFUL.

Why do you love that shit?

Yes. But the older seasons are reasonably cursed. Modern is just uncomfortable.

To some extent

@@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDennisTRFbruh

@@dumdumsponge6568 I'm allowed to have my opinion.

@@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDennisTRF how can you say something so controversial yet so brave ?

I’m surprised you don’t have death threats filled with racial slurs in the replies for saying that new SpongeBob isn’t 100% bad

@@jerryborjon some of my favourite episodes are from the "later" parts. "friend or foe" being an example.

@@randompolygon8401 - Even the bad ones aren’t all bad neither. That brain flying episode, while bad in execution, was objectively very creative in concept. It might’ve been fairly solid if they removed the cringe tbh. And the one where they transformed into burger creatures had very creative character designs. The early episodes probably would’ve just given big Krabby Patties the eyes of the characters they transformed from. That Mr. Krabs burger creature mixed real crab features with a burger very well. Nickelodeon may be greedy, but they can’t stamp out _all_ of the creativity _all_ of the time.

@@jerryborjon i have personally only watched it up to s9 or so, so i actually hadn't seen those 2 episodes. i would certainly say the average quality is lower, but you're right, even the bad modern episodes are around average. nothing terrible.

Nah, the only good one here is Doodlebob

@@ShokuaK YES! I thought I was tripping when I read that 😂

@@ShokuaK I also like Squidward in Clarinet Land just because of how trippy it is.

@@howdydoodilly6812 That's fair, I've never seen that one, but it looks like one of the rare gems from the post Hillenburg era.

@@ShokuaK And Creature Feature, Whirly brains, and the salsa episode. But I’m guessing you guys never seen any of those episodes yourselves.

What are you talking about? It ended with the Spongebob Movie.

I was never a fan of the newer SpongeBob anyway, I'd watch any old episode any day

Unless Nickelodeon made a decision to end the show if they want.

SpongeBob is the show keeping the lights on at Nickelodeon. If they end SpongeBob what show is replacing it? Nothing else is even close to as popular that’s still airing so Nick would die immediately or at least begin struggling. So the sponge stays

IDK, the show has gotten better since at least the 10th season.

The newer episodes aren't really that bad.

@@ethansanchez6267 but also not that great either

SpongeBob in Randomland from season 12

Lol

@ScoliosisKing nah I saw some recent ones and they definitely aren't bad

Your mom’s a cow for not letting you watch SpongeBob!

Because it is true

Sorry for the long comment, but I’ve had this on my chest for a while! The main issue I have with modern Spongbob IS the constant references to the past. It feels less out of love and more like making references for the sake of doing it. It’s completely tasteless. Worst ones to me I remember off the top of my head is: Name dropping Shell City constantly and treating it as if it were Hollywood when, in the movie that they’re referencing, Shell City is more like the sea equivalent of the Outback. The group of MM and BB’s arch nemeses, trying to get a new recruit and it’s literally just a long shot of all of the major villains in SpongeBob’s past. They just did an ENTIRE Halloween episode where they just visit Nosferatu. A one-off joke character from (surprise) one SpongeBob’s most iconic episodes. Bringing back Patchy and Potty, but mostly as a background gag instead of their full-on segments. The main issues that I have with these references is how out of the way and out of place they can be. In a more recent episode, SpongeBob and Patrick go out to deliver mail for the mailman. One of their customers refuses to take their mail, they break inside his house and… it’s the sea cucumber guy who was the leader of that jellyfishing club. There’s literally no reason why it had to be him other than to make another old reference. They could’ve just brought back the jellyfishing club as a whole and he would’ve been way more relevant to the story. The one-off gag they use him for is completely random and literally could’ve been slapped onto any NEW one-off character and yet they somehow COULD NOT resist to make another useless reference. The point of making references is to give a silent nod to the audience, or as a bit of a reward for sticking with a property for so long, but the references in these recent episodes feel less like a wink and a nudge and more like they’re grabbing me by the shirt and yelling “Hey! Remember X!?” The only thing I really like is Bubble Bass being a main character now, but he’s also a completely different type of nerd, which once again just makes me think why didn’t they just make a new character? You say at least they’re trying new things, but I haven’t seen any episodes as of recently that weren’t obviously riding off of the coattails of old SpongeBob. I honestly believe that SpongeBob did everything it could years ago and, similarly to Fairly Oddparents, should just go. It’s especially annoying to see what SpongeBob is right now, and know that other shows I would rather be watching are getting canceled because they’re not as popular as this self-referencing cash cow that’s been going on for almost 30 years.

@@Trecherousbeast I like your reply and honestly if you stop and look at it you have a great passion for the show I don't see why instead of wanting it to end you can see it in a different light ,they way I am I know and agree completely with everything you said but honestly it's my childhood show I grew up with and every time I put it on for some reason even the new episodes make me giggle and laugh and want to put them on repeat . Also I have to give props because if not I wouldn't have gotten to see personally favorite episodes like my leg which would have never been made if not gotten this far in, or not the movie as a whole but I gotta say I love that even tho is cheesy the Krabby patty formula is you song format he new movie is forever in my heart, scenes like those make me cherish this show as whole even with the many differences as a whole to how the show used to be.

@@godzillasoto agh! Sorry for the text walls again! When I say I want the show to “end”, I’m not saying I want it to disappear from existence, more like I just don’t think they have the motivation to make anything new or interesting, so why not put all the “SpongeBob money” into something that actually needs it? We don’t need new SpongeBob episodes. They literally have about 2 decades of episodes they could rerun and the main child audience would never even realize it. They’re clearly starting to lose money from SpongeBob, which is the reason why I think they keep making these reference specific episodes, so why not just end production, air reruns, and invest in a new show that could become the next cultural cornerstone? It does make me feel a bit sad to see SpongeBob last pretty much forever, and maybe unintentionally be the cause of a lot of great cartoons downfall. I had a lot of nicktoons in my childhood other than just SpongeBob like, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Fairly Oddparents, Jimmy Neutron… and it’s equally sad to hear that even back then a lot of those shows were almost immediately cut short because they weren’t as much of a money making machine as SpongeBob. I like SpongeBob the show, but nowadays I really do think it is hurting cartoons and keeping kids from seeing other good cartoons that might even be airing on the same channel. And that Nickelodeon’s cartoon lineup would seriously benefit from SpongeBob being cut short, because at this point in history it is SERIOUSLY bloated with episodes that are overshadowing other shows. In general when it comes to cartoons I’m totally fine with a show lasting about 3-5 seasons. I can’t remember who I heard it from, but I’ve heard the “life span” of a show explained like this. It’s easy to see 1 season of a show as 10 years of a human being. If a show lasts for 1-2 seasons, it feels like their “life” was cut too short, if a show were to last 5 or even 7 seasons long, that’s a pretty good life! It perfectly explains why hearing that something like The Simpsons is in its 32 season makes me cringe a little. (if it were a person, they’d be 320 years old!) I feel like SpongeBob as a show is overstaying its welcome a bit at over 20 seasons. Most artists can’t focus on 1 project for 10 years let alone 20 and Stephen Hillenburg left at around 3! It’s getting to the point where there’s a rotating door of artists that are just coming in to work on SpongeBob and to me it feels more like an assembly line than the art project it started out as. At least when Looney Tunes puts a new spin on things, they call it a new show, so that you can at least separate it from the rest of the shows. SpongeBob still has to call itself SpongeBob, regardless of what it’s doing, purely for the sake of branding and I just hate that. I just find it so conceited that after years of Nickelodeon, somewhat, creating a culture of crossover cartoon events, they FINALLY make one for SpongeBob and he’s crossing over with… himself. After growing up watching the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour, or even that event on Disney Channel when Lilo and Stitch crossed over with some of the popular cartoons of their channel, it just feels (maybe unintentionally) stuck up, like they really didn’t think that ANY of their cartoons was good enough to do this with SpongeBob for at least 2 decades, until they “suddenly” decided to make a few spin-offs. It makes me so uncomfortable because it feels like they don’t really see SpongeBob as a piece of art, created by Stephen Hillenburg, that’s worthy of some ounce of respect. I don’t really know if they’re doing it on purpose, but what kills my enjoyment of current SpongeBob is that it really does feel like their USING it. I don’t feel an ounce of love whenever they make a reference, because if there was, they probably would’ve done it 10 years ago. I want them to stop making new episodes, because I really do feel like they’re just making them because they need to make money.

@@Trecherousbeast love the passion honestly making me read a lot which I don't usually do but you got em hooked and yeah you have a good point , I feel that yes the way the show is going right now it definitely is gonna crash and burn but SpongeBob is such a big show that I feel it needs to go out with a bang something they haven't achieved yet since they decided to keep going after the true ending which is the first movie, everything after the movie is a prequel , the show and the tower movies are just a prequel to the original movie which hillenburg admitted to being the true SpongeBob ending which made sense. But since they decided to keep going which in the new seasons you can see there getting closer to the movie timeline since patrick and SpongeBob have been seen a goofy goobers in the show recently but yeah i would have done a final season with a episodic storyline something to connect to the movie and end it there but yeah now there just expanding , I'll tell you one thing , the Patrick show is horrible , and camp koral was cute but bad, sponge out of water to me felt like most of the writers where probably high and I hate to say that sponge on the run is my favorite of the movies.😭🤣✌️. Also jus ton sidenote saw you mentioned life as a teenage robot and I got to say I adore that show , I just finished watching star vs the forces of evil and I got to say if you like Jenny as a character you'll love Star they are very alike except Star can be a little extra. There are a bunch of obscure amazing cartoons out there overshadowed from popular mainstream shows like SpongeBob and Simpsons so I'll agree with you on that also . And one more thing you gonna hate I did like that live action try Nickelodeon did earlier this year with the Fairly odd parents. I just think they had there star character but the put her as a secondary character and they messed it up .

@@godzillasoto aint reading all that and i still hate the new seasons

Technically they aren’t all modern episodes. Some of these came out like a decade ago.

YES lol

Ikr

Yeah, that's because Stephen Hillenburg came back to whip the writers into shape, but now he's passed on and Nickelodeon is letting them do whatever they want again.

@@ShokuaK I know. I'll always cherish that name.

It starts going back downhill in seasons 12 and 13.

Things really change AT Season 9, not after.

@@Daniel_d573fjd Yup. In season 12 and 13 they dumbed the characters down and fail to put in good jokes. You could watch an episode and once it;s done, you forget everything. Episodes are bland as heck.

Wrong

It's been a month and it didn't get deleted lol.
