These types of "film analysis videos" are beyond parody at this point. Ever since the 1 hour Garfield strip video dropped (which itself was funny and original when it came out) people have started to realize that if they can copy the video without it's brevity or wit and get hours of ad sense money. Look up those hours long "Oblivion" game analysis; they're fricking 12 hours long. it's fricking shameful.
TLDR: they talk about literally nothing, or put out ridiculous unfunny claims for literal hours to get cheap ad sense money.
Besides the fact its a rotten horse beaten for money, it buries actual actual hobbyist analysts.
I mean thinking about a show from the early 2000s too much is very Cinemaphile I will give you that, but I can't shake the feeling that he put WAY more thought into it then the writers ever did. Its a silly cartoon, I'm not saying there isn't a time and a place to share a theory or two that you find interesting but its fricking spongbob. Maybe there isn't any greater meaning and this guy just wants to advertise squarespace to more people.
Black person, I was born in '99. My house, my school, and my church all used VHS up until the mid/late 2000s. Either you yourself are a zoomer, or you're completely ignorant about when adoption of DVD players became widespread. In either case you've proven yourself a moron.
>Black person, I was born in '99. My house, my school, and my church all used VHS
Well no shit that everyone born before the new millennia will know what a fricking VHS is, Gen Z or not. They're specifically talking about the zoomers born after the year 2000.
Walk up to any zoomer born in 2001 or after and ask them if they ever held or saw a VHS once in their life, and they'll reply: "NAH BRUH DATS OL BOOMER SHIT ON GOD CUH!"
I was born in 2002 and you're fricking moronic, the cutoff for the zoomers you're imagining in your head is probably around 2004/5 and beyond, grading into generation alpha. Kids born before then were fortunate enough (usually) to have older siblings from the 1990s and Gen X-er parents smart enough to raise them right.
My sister was born in '02 and we watched VHS together all the time.
This anon gets it. I'm the youngest of four born from 1990 through to 2002 and we all watched tapes together in the kitchen, shit like mst3k and hey arnold and whatever else. I still have my walking with dinosaur tapes from when I was a kid, too. I'll agree to younger zoomers being insufferable but your age makes it hard to separate them.

What the frick does that even mean? People born in 99/00 would've still been watching "beanmouth" cartoons for a short time before becoming apathetic teenagers.
I am REALLY starting to think Cinemaphile in general doesn't know what type of people actually fit into "Generation Z" or even know how old Gen Z is and just uses them as their weekly scapegoat to get mad about besides politics

Yeah, it's just like how boomers still think millennials are in their late teens/early twenties--despite the fact that youngest Millennials are turning 27 this year.
I mean they'll probably get a new name at some point. Nobody calls Gen Y, Gen Y. Which is probably why so many morons can't figure out which generation they are in and which generation the young people they are complaining about is in. They don't understand Millennial is that letter between X and Z.
Hopefully something that doesn't end in that forced "oomer" shit. You fricking morons sound like babies going "goo goo ga ga" when you parrot that trash.
Gen Alpha, they don't have a name really. Like Zoomer isn't really a name either and just used as a joke on the word "Boomer" which itself is a shortening of the phrase "Baby Boomer" which are the generation after WW2 when there was a baby "boom" after a bunch of young men came back from the war and fricked their sweat hearts.
Whenever I see this image, I have one thought: What if there's a place in the universe where emotions like NAGE and HARFAM are normal for the people there, and our emotions are disturbing to them.

Wait a second! That's a reference to something, isn't it? A Manga or hentai. A remember it from like ages ago. Does somebody still know what it was called? I think a girl was like splashed with a liquid or cum or something and then she mutated and holes opened all over her body. But it wasn't like gore but dark voids.

That's moronic. I was born in 1992, lived in Peru during the 9/11 attack and had no memory about it or what I did that entire month in 2001. I only found out about the attack through some TV program the following year when my uncle explained to me what the frick happened.
I was 6 during 9/11 and I don't remember it because 1) I was a really dumb kid and 2) my parents didn't watch the news in front of us or sat down to talk to me about it.
There are people younger than me who remember because their circumstances were different.
I was 7 then and I have zero memories of 9/11, which is weird because I do have memories of managing to catch Adult Swim around when it was first airing and that was in that same month.
I was confused by the "people being scared at SpongeBob's outro song" thing, until I realized...
... doesn't it sound a little off-kilter in places? I think it sounds cool---I like Ween---but it also sounds like Ween, which I know isn't for everyone.
How the frick are people scared of the goddam spongebob outro?
It's not that it's actually pants-doodooingly scary, it's just... off. Like I said, I like it because it reminds me of Ween---and that can't be a coincidence---but to people who haven't developed a taste for Brown, it probably just sounds weird, especially when listened to out-of-context. Everyone saying it's terrifying or whatever are over-hyping it, imho, but human psychology is a mystery, so I don't doubt someone somewhere has an honest-to-YHWH fear of that song, the same way you might fear something that others think is silly.
Look anon, the I'M GOING INSANE HELP ME Black personMAN posters are insufferable jackasses but you can't just say that something is "off" or "weird" and expect that to be a satisfying explanation. How is it any of those things? How is it those things even out of context? It's relaxing, happy Hawaiian music that reminds people of their childhoods or if they didn't grow up with Spongebob, makes them feel at peace. It's not like it's off-putting circus music.
Sure you could argue that if an actual creepypasta/lost episode aired on tv and then those credits played as if nothing happened then it would be creepy but at that point, you're no longer explaining why something is creepy due to its own merits. It would be like saying that a clear blue sky is unnerving. I get the appeal behind the liminal space craze but holy shit, this isn't one of those things.

Dude, I'm terrible at describing why things look or seem a certain way. The best I can do is that it has to do with some of the guitars being played. They might've used a talk-box or something, because parts of it sound like it's being played in someone's mouth while they... mimic doing jaw exercises. Another anon said it sounds 'psychedelic,' so I guess that's my explanation. Or like I said before, it sounds kinda like Ween.

I think that's because there's so many SpongeBob episodes that just end on nothing, it leaves you with a weird unresolved feeling

You were waiting with bated breath to post that on first (You), no matter what it said, weren't you?
Okay, this zoomer is moronic for bringing up "liminal spaces" bullshit. But the reason why kids found the Spongebob outro unnerving is because of how psychedelic it sounds.
As shitty as those Creepypastas were, at least they had an actual spooky image attached to it, instead of literal fricking empty rooms with nothing in them
Like look at this shit, this is just a fricking hallway
That's not the right kind of image, it shouldn't have stuff in it, like those trash cans.
The whole point of the "liminal space" concept is having something you normally associate with being full of stuff and people suddenly being completely empty. Movie theaters, stores, malls, busy intersections (no longer busy), empty Walmart parking lots, so on.
Like, I've been inside a Kmart with absolutely nothing on the shelves, no people, no music over the PA, it's spooky as shit and it was well lit.
Same goes for my old phone tech support job, kind of. A year prior to me working there, they laid off shitloads of people working there to cut costs, which left two of the four floors completely abandoned. The floors weren't completely cleared out, but the computers were gone, nobody was there, no phones, no constant chatter of people arguing with the lower-tier Filipino tech support guys on the line passing us customers so we can fix it with a reboot, etc. Again, fully lit, but spooky as hell.
It's probably to do with human instinct because we're social creatures so the absence of other people makes us feel vulnerable and in danger of whatever caused all the other humans to disappear
When I was an intern on what is now my current job, the building was bursting with people, It's a Big ass old building, in the Main hallway you have 10+ doors on each side leading to their respective Offices, each one was full with one ir two deparments, it was common to find tons of people coming and going in the hallways and noisy with all the conversations, footsteps, doors opening
When I started working as an employee a fe years later, the building was/is pretty much empty, from the 20+ Offices only 5 or so are used, you can hear the echo of your footsteps whenever you are on the hallway due how quiet it is now, it was a little creppy on my first days (and also sad) to see a place that was once full of people so empty and deserted, the fact that I'm in one of the Offices furthest of everyone didn't help.
>is that?????? >IS THAT AN EMPTY ROOM >AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SAAAAAAAAAAVE ME NO NO NO ANYTHING BUT THAT

Isn't the scary part about the backrooms is that an actual monster is stalking you through a maze? That'd scare the everloving shit out of me if I had to go through that.
yeah, it IMPLIES something MIGHT be there, it never says there is. that line is just supposed to make you feel vulnerable, it was never meant to be the main attraction.
I hate these posts, Backrooms are not supposed to be scary, they're supposed to give a feeling of nostalgia/comfiness, or even a feeling of unease at times, but scary, no.
>infinite randomly generated rooms >people end up dying all the time in there due to lack of food/water >has to deal with idiot zoomers coming inside to film their shitty ARG analog videos all the time
As shitty as those Creepypastas were, at least they had an actual spooky image attached to it, instead of literal fricking empty rooms with nothing in them

I think the idea is that these empty rooms make you anxious that you're all alone and something bad could happen to you at any moment. Like a monster or serial killer or something could suddenly dart around the corner and sink its teeth or knife into you.

I'm a zoomer. I actually find the backrooms (and liminal spaces as a whole) comfy and nostalgic.
zoomers actually added being to this and new "rooms" much to the boomers dismay
The empty room is not scary its the virtually endless nothingness they provide that is only broken by what is potentially a murderous entity
I remember the first time I was allowed to stay up on New Years was also the first time I watched SB-129. It's an unsettling episode, especially for a sheltered kid in the middle of the night.
As someone on the older end of the Zoomer age group (Aprox 1996-2002) I think the big theme I have seen is powerlessness. Shit happens and you cannot defeat or control it all you can hope to do is endure the terror and hope it doesn't frick you up to much.
It makes sense as Zoomers were given no promise of things getting better in any way and likely the opposite so what scares us is being reminded of that.
But Cinemaphile's userbase has always mainly been young men in their late teens-mid twenties. You're probably too old for this website, go start a family or something.
some autist made an extremely long tvtropes page about how the PBS show Ready Jet Go! was actually extremely scary and dark because they're a huge autist. It was full of things like >In this scene the lighting is different on this character's face is differenet and has shadows which implies they might be EVIL! WTF I THOUGHT THIS WAS A KID'S SHOW!!??
they'd get creeped out by the most basic stupid shit and always follow it up with "Can you believe this was on PBS? For kids!?"
Memes aside, this sums up why I hate when autistic people pretend they can't be sheep. Totally immune to peer pressure and conformity, but can't handle other people judging them for watching toddlershit so they have to pretend it's deeper, darker and edgier than it really is. Try not caring.
exactly, if you want things that deal with dark and serious tones go watch anime or read a graphic novel instead of some school for teens, there's nothing wrong with liking something tame.
I like cute stuff, who gives a shit? not everything has to be edgy drama's with people brooding all the damned time just because your insecure.
I think you're looking at the problem from the wrong angle. Autists are so immune to the reactions of other people that they double down on things they enjoyed as children instead of facing the reality that is the external pressure to grow out of them.

The absolute fricking state of zoomers being terrified of shit they grew up with. "Based generation" my ass. They're gonna end up worse than millenials, give it a few more years.
Very few people are actually scared of anything SpongeBob-related, that wasn't meant to be scary. It's really just people coming back to something they haven't seen in a while and looking at it in a different way.

What is the original?
Pretty much what Anon described here:
This seems like it'd be a fun idea for an episode. Even if its a bit Freudian.
There was an episode where SpongeBob shrunk everyone with Mermaid Mans belt and everyone went inside of him and beat him internally.
this actually did spook me when I was little. I grew up with regular looney tunes, and this was very off putting.
keke
Wait a second! That's a reference to something, isn't it? A Manga or hentai. A remember it from like ages ago. Does somebody still know what it was called? I think a girl was like splashed with a liquid or cum or something and then she mutated and holes opened all over her body. But it wasn't like gore but dark voids.
Found the original
What really disturbed me is that one of her eyes seems to be gone.
No, it didn't whatsoever. The gorilla episode is the only one I've heard that other people got scared at.
I thought it was the butterfly one?
This was the episode that made PieGuyrulz drop Spongebob.

Gen Z apparently starts in 1997 in the U.S. or 1998 if you're a Canadian like me.
Gen Z starts at 1996.
Pew Research says otherwise.
kind of a meme, but it's true: the best way to separate a millennial from a zoomer is if they have a memory of 9/11
That's moronic. I was born in 1992, lived in Peru during the 9/11 attack and had no memory about it or what I did that entire month in 2001. I only found out about the attack through some TV program the following year when my uncle explained to me what the frick happened.
I was 6 during 9/11 and I don't remember it because 1) I was a really dumb kid and 2) my parents didn't watch the news in front of us or sat down to talk to me about it.

>the best way to separate a millennial from a zoomer is if they have a memory of 9/11
I prefer the theory of showing them this
"You looked at my balls and for that I shall kill you."
Never look at a gypsies balls.
why did you look anon
I was 7 then and I have zero memories of 9/11, which is weird because I do have memories of managing to catch Adult Swim around when it was first airing and that was in that same month.
I don’t have memory of 9/11, nor do I give two shits about because I’m not American

It's not that it's actually pants-doodooingly scary, it's just... off. Like I said, I like it because it reminds me of Ween---and that can't be a coincidence---but to people who haven't developed a taste for Brown, it probably just sounds weird, especially when listened to out-of-context. Everyone saying it's terrifying or whatever are over-hyping it, imho, but human psychology is a mystery, so I don't doubt someone somewhere has an honest-to-YHWH fear of that song, the same way you might fear something that others think is silly.
Look anon, the I'M GOING INSANE HELP ME Black personMAN posters are insufferable jackasses but you can't just say that something is "off" or "weird" and expect that to be a satisfying explanation. How is it any of those things? How is it those things even out of context? It's relaxing, happy Hawaiian music that reminds people of their childhoods or if they didn't grow up with Spongebob, makes them feel at peace. It's not like it's off-putting circus music.
Sure you could argue that if an actual creepypasta/lost episode aired on tv and then those credits played as if nothing happened then it would be creepy but at that point, you're no longer explaining why something is creepy due to its own merits. It would be like saying that a clear blue sky is unnerving. I get the appeal behind the liminal space craze but holy shit, this isn't one of those things.
Dude, I'm terrible at describing why things look or seem a certain way. The best I can do is that it has to do with some of the guitars being played. They might've used a talk-box or something, because parts of it sound like it's being played in someone's mouth while they... mimic doing jaw exercises. Another anon said it sounds 'psychedelic,' so I guess that's my explanation. Or like I said before, it sounds kinda like Ween.
I think that's because there's so many SpongeBob episodes that just end on nothing, it leaves you with a weird unresolved feeling
Good lord zoomers are a bunch of spineless soiboys, the only thing this comfy outro makes me feel is nostalgia
>gives a rational explanation for why people might feel a certain way about a piece of music
>meds.jpg
You were waiting with bated breath to post that on first (You), no matter what it said, weren't you?
>zoom zoom
Huh? I can't understand your language
The next bus *PBBBBT!* to Bikini *PBBBBT!* Bottom. *PBBBBT*
Okay, this zoomer is moronic for bringing up "liminal spaces" bullshit. But the reason why kids found the Spongebob outro unnerving is because of how psychedelic it sounds.
Seeing this Black personzoomers face made me incredibly angry
No one is scared of this until a video on israelitetub tells them they should be.
BRUTAL
It was more so the implication that Spongebob was still living inside one of them
>is that??????
>IS THAT AN EMPTY ROOM
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SAAAAAAAAAAVE ME NO NO NO ANYTHING BUT THAT
Zoomers are so fricking pathetic
>implying some of us didn't go through an edgy creepypasta phase in middle school
pathetic
As shitty as those Creepypastas were, at least they had an actual spooky image attached to it, instead of literal fricking empty rooms with nothing in them
Like look at this shit, this is just a fricking hallway
That's not the right kind of image, it shouldn't have stuff in it, like those trash cans.
The whole point of the "liminal space" concept is having something you normally associate with being full of stuff and people suddenly being completely empty. Movie theaters, stores, malls, busy intersections (no longer busy), empty Walmart parking lots, so on.
Like, I've been inside a Kmart with absolutely nothing on the shelves, no people, no music over the PA, it's spooky as shit and it was well lit.
Same goes for my old phone tech support job, kind of. A year prior to me working there, they laid off shitloads of people working there to cut costs, which left two of the four floors completely abandoned. The floors weren't completely cleared out, but the computers were gone, nobody was there, no phones, no constant chatter of people arguing with the lower-tier Filipino tech support guys on the line passing us customers so we can fix it with a reboot, etc. Again, fully lit, but spooky as hell.
It's probably to do with human instinct because we're social creatures so the absence of other people makes us feel vulnerable and in danger of whatever caused all the other humans to disappear
When I was an intern on what is now my current job, the building was bursting with people, It's a Big ass old building, in the Main hallway you have 10+ doors on each side leading to their respective Offices, each one was full with one ir two deparments, it was common to find tons of people coming and going in the hallways and noisy with all the conversations, footsteps, doors opening
When I started working as an employee a fe years later, the building was/is pretty much empty, from the 20+ Offices only 5 or so are used, you can hear the echo of your footsteps whenever you are on the hallway due how quiet it is now, it was a little creppy on my first days (and also sad) to see a place that was once full of people so empty and deserted, the fact that I'm in one of the Offices furthest of everyone didn't help.
Yeah, sure bro. Your empty hallway is scarier than the other gay's empty room.
i am honestly convinced red mist stole those eyes from smiledog
>tryhard, no subtlety
>atmospheric, subtle, leaves room for imagination
Zoomers win this round, sorry gramps
>middle school
>he didn't come home from 9th grade to play tony hawk's underground for nostalgia in between reading creepypasta
Isn't the scary part about the backrooms is that an actual monster is stalking you through a maze? That'd scare the everloving shit out of me if I had to go through that.
That was added later, the original premise was just "what if you're lost in an infinite hallway with no way out"?
No, the original implies something is there but never goes into detail.
All the complicated lore shit was added later.
yeah, it IMPLIES something MIGHT be there, it never says there is. that line is just supposed to make you feel vulnerable, it was never meant to be the main attraction.
I stan the screaming stick person with the long fap arm.
I hate these posts, Backrooms are not supposed to be scary, they're supposed to give a feeling of nostalgia/comfiness, or even a feeling of unease at times, but scary, no.
so who changes all the light bulbs and ballasts in the backrooms?
The backroom's single janitor. No, he doesn't get paid enough for this.
>infinite randomly generated rooms
>people end up dying all the time in there due to lack of food/water
>has to deal with idiot zoomers coming inside to film their shitty ARG analog videos all the time
that sounds like an awful job
I think the idea is that these empty rooms make you anxious that you're all alone and something bad could happen to you at any moment. Like a monster or serial killer or something could suddenly dart around the corner and sink its teeth or knife into you.
no, it's more the uncanny valley nature of the rooms that's the entire appeal of the whole liminal space meme.
I'm a zoomer. I actually find the backrooms (and liminal spaces as a whole) comfy and nostalgic.
zoomers actually added being to this and new "rooms" much to the boomers dismay
The empty room is not scary its the virtually endless nothingness they provide that is only broken by what is potentially a murderous entity
If you even recognize this frame, you're probably a zoomer. I had to look it up. Millennial Spongebob ended the season before.
>This terrified zoomers
I remember seeing this episode when it aired. It felt like a acid trip then and still feels like it now.
not me, it looked awesome
I remember the first time I was allowed to stay up on New Years was also the first time I watched SB-129. It's an unsettling episode, especially for a sheltered kid in the middle of the night.
did SB-129 came out on 2000?
A wiki says it did release on december 31st, 1999. That's probably when I watched it, but I thought we got cable later than that.
As someone on the older end of the Zoomer age group (Aprox 1996-2002) I think the big theme I have seen is powerlessness. Shit happens and you cannot defeat or control it all you can hope to do is endure the terror and hope it doesn't frick you up to much.
It makes sense as Zoomers were given no promise of things getting better in any way and likely the opposite so what scares us is being reminded of that.
Thats incredibly fricking gay
>Another zoomer thread
Can you homosexuals ever go one day without talking about zoomers? Jesus
>Can you guys stop making fun of me already!?
Seethe zoomie gay
So you admit you're obessed
I'll stop obsessing over zoomers once they get the frick off my board
They're in their mid twenties now you dumb homosexual
But Cinemaphile's userbase has always mainly been young men in their late teens-mid twenties. You're probably too old for this website, go start a family or something.
>he doesn't know
Is a zoomer, they know nothing.
At least 75% of the people on this site are zoomers, most of the people complaining about them are likely zoomers as well.
it’s literally one sperg who always shits up horror threads
Not only that same guy has recently started to shit up any Hunter: The Parenting threads
He scared the shit out of me
>its canon
>this traumatized an entire generation
BEGONE EVIL THING
AAAIIYEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This was on a show for children, believe it or not.
can someone explain
some autist made an extremely long tvtropes page about how the PBS show Ready Jet Go! was actually extremely scary and dark because they're a huge autist. It was full of things like
>In this scene the lighting is different on this character's face is differenet and has shadows which implies they might be EVIL! WTF I THOUGHT THIS WAS A KID'S SHOW!!??
they'd get creeped out by the most basic stupid shit and always follow it up with "Can you believe this was on PBS? For kids!?"
yep and now we shitpost about it being actually a really fricked up snuff film.
Someone on tvtropes made an article about this cartoon for literal 3 year olds being really scary.
little zoomer fricks like that wouldn't be able to handle actual cartoon nightmare fuel.
>zoomer
The person who wrote that page was probably well into their 30s and just incredibly autistic living with his parents
I'd say bullshit but then I remembered lolcows like enter latch onto that like flys on shit so you are probably are correct with that assessment.
Memes aside, this sums up why I hate when autistic people pretend they can't be sheep. Totally immune to peer pressure and conformity, but can't handle other people judging them for watching toddlershit so they have to pretend it's deeper, darker and edgier than it really is. Try not caring.
exactly, if you want things that deal with dark and serious tones go watch anime or read a graphic novel instead of some school for teens, there's nothing wrong with liking something tame.
I like cute stuff, who gives a shit? not everything has to be edgy drama's with people brooding all the damned time just because your insecure.
I think you're looking at the problem from the wrong angle. Autists are so immune to the reactions of other people that they double down on things they enjoyed as children instead of facing the reality that is the external pressure to grow out of them.
>This terrified zoomers and Cinemaphile purists
>GIBBY
I was confused by the "people being scared at SpongeBob's outro song" thing, until I realized...
... doesn't it sound a little off-kilter in places? I think it sounds cool---I like Ween---but it also sounds like Ween, which I know isn't for everyone.
>The comments
How the fack did this generation even survive until adulthood.
They didn't, all emasculated manchildren
because you can tell by the vibes that every band member was an active pedo murderer
>this made 16-year old Mr Enter throw up
I do not blame him, that episode is disgusting and I can see people with weak stomachs throwing up when seeing it.
>nuspongebob
Don't blame him.
Mr Enter is mega-autistic but I agree this was a moronic, gross episode idea.
The absolute fricking state of zoomers being terrified of shit they grew up with. "Based generation" my ass. They're gonna end up worse than millenials, give it a few more years.
Very few people are actually scared of anything SpongeBob-related, that wasn't meant to be scary. It's really just people coming back to something they haven't seen in a while and looking at it in a different way.
Media is so sanitized now that people need to look deeper into old shit to find something that can stimulate them.
>They're gonna end up worse than millenials, give it a few more years.
They are, the only generation who doesn't hate zoomers are zoomers
No, zoomers pretty much agree with everyone else on that...
I've seen some proud zoomers in here anon, it was gross.
I was more confused and lightly unsettled by this episode as a child. Is it supposed to be a Planet of the Apes parody?
It literally ends with Sponebog finding the Krusty Krab buried and him falling down in despair.
>Sponebog
Frick, I must've had a stroke there.
everything scares zoomers now, ya ever see what happens when you tell somebody to get a job now?
The only thing that scared me was the little girl in Dawn of the Dead. How the frick does SpongeBob and VHS scare people?
This thread has simply further convinced me that any -oomer post needs an immediate 60+ day ban from all boards.
>This triggered a nohomers/toonzone user back in 2006
Jims?
Can't remember (pic related too)
Born in 99, I actually liked the episode.
Mind you, I was also watching stuff like the History Channel back when it was airing.
It also reminded me of that 'iCarly' thing about 'The Blowing'.
>the live-action sun and moon bit that isn't played for a joke and has no other purpose
>the giant weird religious totems
>spongebob going quasi-insane
>the post-apocalyptic, ruined Krusty Krab, everyone in Bikini Bottom presumably being dead
>the unexplained aliens even further in the future that isn't played for a joke and has no other purpose
>the random disembodied laughter of Spongebob as the very last thing in the episode
It's not 'scary' but it's a kinda weird fricking episode with a lot of little things that feel off about it.
Yeah, it was weird.
EAP the Raven and universal's Dracula scared weak oldgays back in the 20s. Guess we've reversed back to that age.
This episode terrified zoomers, but this scene made them laugh.
Why are there so many autists with a lisp and strange intonation on YouTube making Spongebob episode dissections and theories?
