For whatever reason I remember that in the original showing this character died/killed himself trying to defeat the Big One, but then in later showings they halfassedly brought him back at the very end. Did parents complain that a character on SpongeBob 'dying' was too dark or am I just remembering this wrong?
Sometime in season 4, although the second episode was definitely the start. Fear of a Krabby Patty was still a surprisingly solid episode so it didn't hit me in the face until Shell of a Man felt so fricking off. I want to say Dunces and Dragons was where it finally hit me that the show's quality had changed significantly, no the episode having that one suicide joke doesn't make up for how bland the rest of it was.
I was still willing to give it the benefit of the doubt on occasion until Atlantis Squarepantis though, Nick's advertising blitz made it seem like it'd have a lot of care put into it. And then it fricking sucked wiener. That was definitely my point of no return.
I remember Atlantis Squarepantis breaking a lot of people when it aired. It's apparently the most-watched Spongebob premier ever but man fricking EVERYONE was pissed off at how bad it was.
Yeah I know for a lot of late 90s kids that grew up during the era of SpongeBob domination (the movie the merchandise explosion that followed the movie the GameCube games etc) were broken after that
Atlantis SquarePants was pretty catastrophic for SpongeBob’s rep
He got into the production late and they didn't have time to give him a song, he wanted the role because his kid was a huge Spongebob fan. It's still a shame since the episode was a musical and the songs were fricking SHIT, I'm sure a Bowie song could have at least added some charm to it.
Eh I feel like 2011 is when the quality was outright at its worst pretty much all the late 07 and 2008 episodes are among the first bunch of episodes I remember watching as they were new along with like avatar and some Thomas episodes or some shit so I have nostalgia bias like you wouldn’t believe for those the 09 and 2010 episodes were forgettable as frick though even for the standards of a 5-7 year old
Hey I still watched a lot of them how could I not SpongeBob was still a massively huge brand throughout the 2000s plus nick already aired mostly sponge and there were 100s of dvds
i hate how they made spongebob dumb and patrick downright moronic
patrick wasn't a baby he was just the archetype of a guy who sits shirtless in his yard and gives unconventional wisdom, he's now smart but he has the occasional intelligent thing to say or good bit of advice, and they made him into an actual labotomite, you can tell when they gave him that one front baby tooth
and they turned bob into a moronic jackass too, and i hate how they draw him now as well
Remember that season 1 episode where Spongebob used Patrick as a line to help him cheat through the boating exam because he trusted Patrick's wisdom? And Patrick gave him actual advice that prevented Spongebob from just immediately flubbing the whole thing because he genuinely knew what he was talking about? Because the show sure fricking doesn't.
Remember how Patrick was the guy who even convinced Spongebob to go in and ask for a job at the Krispy Krab? Patrick was always portrayed being kinda slow and uneducated but making up for it with other kinds of smarts, like life wisdom
what I hate, especially in the post-sequel seasons is that Sponge and Pat are basically the same characters now, Spongebob is almost if not just as stupid as Patrick and will go along with anything he does without question. In the previous seasons some of the funniest jokes is Patrick saying/doing something stupid and Spongebob being the straight man to his stupidity. Like "Wumbo" or the "careful Spongebob" scene (or really the entirety of Wet Painters)
What about post-season 3 things you actually enjoy? I thought the 2d segments of the second movie were alright, the CGI ones were garbage though I don't know what they were thinking making spongebob into the avengers
Despite being from Season 6, Sun Bleached is a pretty funny episode. I don't see people mention it enough when talking about good post-Season 3 episodes. >IT'S RADICAL
don't you have a video of you seething at Butch Hartman you should be making, Pieguy?

He's a homosexual for unironically going "won't someone think of children!1!" but he's right, those things are absolute cancer machines and tans look awful
Probably here.
I didn't think that Tattletale Strangler was a bad episode. But it felt like it was just retreading the concept of Flats the School Bully and they'd basically run out of original material by this point.
Here, let me just paste a snippet from their personality descriptions in the wiki:
>Flats is shown to be quite sadistic, finding great enjoyment in threatening and hurting others. He also is quite ruthless, threatening SpongeBob for simply introducing himself, attempting to run him over and kill him with a garbage truck, and still attempting to hurt him even after he saved his life after he got in a car crash. He even threatened his own father after he caught him talking to SpongeBob.
>The Tattletale Strangler is a notorious individual, as even the bravest and toughest fish fear him. He is a pure criminal who has no respect for police officers and will stop at nothing to break the law. He has an irreverent, despicable, and irresponsible attitude, as he has sworn to strangle any and all of his victims for reporting him to the authorities, when they completely have a reason to.
Yeah, they're obviously different characters.
But that role of "Spongebob gets ruthelessly hunted down by a sadist and wins by just beng himself" wasn't nearly as interesting the second time around.
>completely different
Stop that, this is an exercise in compare and contrast.
Hyperbole isn't helping the discussion
To the point, both scenarios you describe amount to Spongebob thwarting each with no real effort or intention on his part.
The individual beats are different, but the theme of both is extremely similar if not outright the same.
>They’re unironically almost complete inverses of each other, one’s an episode about fear of death, the other how fearless joy and blissful ignorance can drive people nuts
Yeah, that's the tonal difference, but the ultimate outcome of the episodes are the same as far as reaching that last point about fearless joy.
Both episodes reach that same conclusion from the same starting premise.
The ignorance on spongebob's part is ultimately the key difference in the direction of the episodes.
If Spongebob knew who the Strangler was, how would the episode have turned out?
I thought the strangler episode was hilarious? Is this not a common opinion?

It's a similar premise, a violent guy tries to hurt Spongebob but keeps failing at it. Except this time Spongebob is aware that he's being threatened.
But the episodes have completely different dynamics. The Flats episode is about SpongeBob's fear of the fight and his trying to stop it while the Strangler episode is about SpongeBob's being oblivious and befriending a murderer and unintentionally harming him through sponge antics

The only one pulling hyperbole here is you. There is no similarity other than a very basic "antagonist that wants to harm SpongeBob". The Stranger episode relies on the Stranger being a constant butt of slapstick humor at the hands of SpongeBob and is really closer to a Squidward episode more than anything. Flats doesn't become a punchline until the very end of the episode and the majority of the humor comes from SpongeBob interacting with other not Flats characters about how to handle the situation

Do kids actually find Squidward being tortured and harrased to be funny? They turned Spongebob into an obsessive stalker who makes Squidward's life a living hell.
I never liked it
It was fun to see him get his cummupance when he was an butthole and got punished directly for it, not when he was minding his own business and suddenly got hurt for no reason, I found that unpleasant
never did. I did think the episode where spongebob changes his house to squidwards was pretty cool from a david lynch horror point of view. was abstract and creepy
i was fairly young when spongebob was airing, the show is about as old as i am, and even i remember absolutely adoring the first few seasons and then slowly disliking it more and more
i started thinking i just grew out of it until i watched the 1st season again and still loved it, and then watching it again as an adult i didnt love it any less
old spongebob was a family cartoon, every member of the family of any age could enjoy it to varying degrees, it was timeless kino
new spongebob may appeal to kids, sure, i'm not saying it doesn't, but old spongebob was so much more elegant and rounded and this perpetual gaslight people here bring up where "umm no shut up you're just old and wrong old spongebob was never better you're just mistaken" is so fricking shit
>nobody shits on the older seasons >"but what about these people who shit on the older seasons?" >doesn't count because uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
those homosexuals will defend the post movie seasons with "b-but that episode is like 7+ years old now" but will then proceed to shit on the early seasons despite those being even older.
Oh right Guy unironically thinks the post-movie seasons are superior to pre-movie only because more of the Ren and stimpy staff worked on those seasons. That's his moronic reasoning
The movie. It had all the warning signs of shit to come, and was way more like the later seasons than the previous stuff. I don't care if you were 6 years old when it came out.
I agree the movie has a lot in common with season 4 and 5 and the whole spongebobs a kid plot was pretty dumb ,and I feel like people don’t bring up how much that movie meandered throughout like some seems felt ridiculously dragged out
The movie was basically a warning sign but it was still really solidly executed. It did effectively feel like it was from a different series though, my understanding is that it had a lot of executive meddling and that's why there are things like Squidward barely being in the movie despite being possibly the most popular Spongebob character at the time.
Yeah they really should’ve had him either tag along with SpongeBob and Patrick or have him catch up to them later like maybe he manages to flee bikini bottom before planktons slaves got to him
Yeah executives reportedly thought that Patrick would be more appealing to a wider audience and people that potentially hadn't seen Spongebob, even though Squidward's dynamic with Spongebob and character in general is a huge reason the show got popular in the first place.
If the movie was squidward and spongebob instead of patrick and spongebob it would have been perfect. I think patrick had a lot of great moments in the film though.
Is nu Spongebob even fun to hatewatch? genuinely are any seasons so bad its good? And would yall join me if I started a watchparty to observe this trash?
For me, it was Good Neighbors. It featured SpongeBob and Patrick at their worst, and was the beginning of Squidward becoming the chew toy for the writers.
When ever they started turning background gags like Fred/My leg guy and Nosferatu who appeared in like one episode into secondary characters and completely squeezed out their comedic value. And also when they started spamming the "character randomly explodes after falling" joke that was used like once or twice in season 3, like it's the funnist shit ever.
Spongebob's voice actor can't even do the laugh properly anymore, it sounds like shit. And the new movie looks like that shitty HeroPants game from 2012 or something. Kill it, it's dead.
The tail end of season 3 when it started making ratings grabbing specials and made SpongeBob slightly more stupid and hyper (his design was also starting to look more like a perfect square around that time, which made him look stiffer and it would get worse as the show went on) Same with the movie making Spongebob a kid canonically and making his voice higher. Season 3 was good overall but people really just remember the best episodes of that season, the show peaked in season 2 with Band Geeks.
Remember anons, when a mass quoting homosexual is spamming, Cinemaphile X is you friend
It lets you
1. un-(You) your own posts
2. hide "this post and replies" since perigay and most other Sharty mass-quoters reply to EVERYONE itt including themselves, this will effectively filter out every future post of theirs too
that wishing well episode wasn't the first bad episode i saw, but it was like, the first time the bad patterns were becoming evident to me. Nonsense plot, really simplistic and corny humor, tried to hard to end on a joke that was just unfunny
Yeah. Sponge Out of Water was inferior by far to the original but at least it was clearly trying to be its own thing and had the show's storyboard writers on-staff.
Animation style was cute and reminded me of season 1. Not much else noteworthy. Snoop Dog and Keanu Reeves had no reason to be here. David Hasselhoff made sense in the first movie because of Baywatch.
Yeah. Sponge Out of Water was inferior by far to the original but at least it was clearly trying to be its own thing and had the show's storyboard writers on-staff.
This movie was written by one of the original writers of Spongebob and the first movie
Got to see it theatrically in Canada, was kinda grateful just to see a NEW movie after lockdown. It felt chuggingly solid (even if the L.A. bit felt meme), aaaaaand then the third act happens. Grind to a halt.
It's not so much that the film suddenly became a Kamp Koral pilot, but more that the plot is suddenly about 'SB's worth as a person', rather than 'We Gotta Get Gary BACK'. Unless the film really was a Wonderful Life parody like the original title suggested, it makes little sense.
For me it was around the time every character started getting flanderized. Even when they can make jokes land the fact that every single character is now completely obnoxious just makes it impossible to appreciate any attempt at quality.
May 5th 2006 was the end of good spongebob
what happened on that day
9/11
never forget
Chimps Ahoy/Ghost Host
I actually loved that joke as a kid
For me it was SpongeBob vs the Big One. Specifically the Johnny Depp fish. He doesn't even look like a fish!
Not only was it my sign that Spongebob took a turn for the worse, the idea of hyped special episodes in general was also dead to me.
For whatever reason I remember that in the original showing this character died/killed himself trying to defeat the Big One, but then in later showings they halfassedly brought him back at the very end. Did parents complain that a character on SpongeBob 'dying' was too dark or am I just remembering this wrong?

Atlantis SquarePants was pretty catastrophic for SpongeBob’s rep
It was advertised as a Spongebob Movie, and since the first movie was so beloved, it hyped up a lot of expectations
>Get David Bowie for a special
>He doesn't sing in it
What moron thought that was a good idea?
He got into the production late and they didn't have time to give him a song, he wanted the role because his kid was a huge Spongebob fan. It's still a shame since the episode was a musical and the songs were fricking SHIT, I'm sure a Bowie song could have at least added some charm to it.
I'm like 70% sure the guest celebrity cast members are Nick's idea after the episodes are written/boarded
Eh I feel like 2011 is when the quality was outright at its worst pretty much all the late 07 and 2008 episodes are among the first bunch of episodes I remember watching as they were new along with like avatar and some Thomas episodes or some shit so I have nostalgia bias like you wouldn’t believe for those the 09 and 2010 episodes were forgettable as frick though even for the standards of a 5-7 year old
Imagine growing up with the post season 3 eps
Hey I still watched a lot of them how could I not SpongeBob was still a massively huge brand throughout the 2000s plus nick already aired mostly sponge and there were 100s of dvds
it was this scene.
just the most laziest joke possible
i hate how they made spongebob dumb and patrick downright moronic
patrick wasn't a baby he was just the archetype of a guy who sits shirtless in his yard and gives unconventional wisdom, he's now smart but he has the occasional intelligent thing to say or good bit of advice, and they made him into an actual labotomite, you can tell when they gave him that one front baby tooth

And Patrick gave him actual advice that prevented Spongebob from just immediately flubbing the whole thing because he genuinely knew what he was talking about? Because the show sure fricking doesn't.
Hell even Patrick giving bad advice but Spongebob still confiding in him is a better gag than just making Patrick mentally challenged.
Remember how Patrick was the guy who even convinced Spongebob to go in and ask for a job at the Krispy Krab? Patrick was always portrayed being kinda slow and uneducated but making up for it with other kinds of smarts, like life wisdom

>IT'S RADICAL
It promotes tanning beds to children and is about Spongebob and Patrick not being brown enough to go to a party.
Ok?
have a nice day, tanning beds are cancer machines.
It's a cartoon
don't you have a video of you seething at Butch Hartman you should be making, Pieguy?
He's a homosexual for unironically going "won't someone think of children!1!" but he's right, those things are absolute cancer machines and tans look awful
I watched the episode as a kid I certainly didn’t have a desire to go 8n a tanning bed after I watched it
and it ends with everyone who DOES tan being burnt to literal ashes. way to watch the episode, moron!
and it ends with all the white fish getting thrown into a dumpster. way to watch the episode, moron!
Kino , sunbleached is a severely underrated episode , living like Larry, fear of a crabby patty and where’s Gary are all post movie highlights for me
Krusty towers, skill crane, and the lost mattress were pretty good too
>Skill Crane
That skit where Squidward tries to pick up the remote like a crane hand had me in stitches as a kid
Yeah makes since plus I know there was a reason why skill crane and krusty towers got a lot of ytps and shit during that era
Probably here.
I didn't think that Tattletale Strangler was a bad episode. But it felt like it was just retreading the concept of Flats the School Bully and they'd basically run out of original material by this point.
I don't see how the strangler and flats are the same character at all
It's a similar premise, a violent guy tries to hurt Spongebob but keeps failing at it. Except this time Spongebob is aware that he's being threatened.
I thought the strangler episode was hilarious? Is this not a common opinion?
it was. He's just saying the plot was done before.
I dont think tackling a similar premise in a new way is in any way tired imo, more shows should do that
>more shows should do that
They do, they suck at it.
I think it's funny too, I was just admitting it has a similar story to the Flats episode
I liked the strangler episode. I thought it was great.
I just thought it revisted too much of what other episodes did.
Here, let me just paste a snippet from their personality descriptions in the wiki:
>Flats is shown to be quite sadistic, finding great enjoyment in threatening and hurting others. He also is quite ruthless, threatening SpongeBob for simply introducing himself, attempting to run him over and kill him with a garbage truck, and still attempting to hurt him even after he saved his life after he got in a car crash.

Yeah, they're obviously different characters.
But that role of "Spongebob gets ruthelessly hunted down by a sadist and wins by just beng himself" wasn't nearly as interesting the second time around.
But the episodes have completely different dynamics. The Flats episode is about SpongeBob's fear of the fight and his trying to stop it while the Strangler episode is about SpongeBob's being oblivious and befriending a murderer and unintentionally harming him through sponge antics

toenail
Truth or Square, or at least, it told me these guys don't know how to celebrate 10 years of a series and just throws a bunch of LIES at us.
May 1st 1999
The episode where Gary had some sort of disease and everyone believed they’ve become zombies
Do kids actually find Squidward being tortured and harrased to be funny? They turned Spongebob into an obsessive stalker who makes Squidward's life a living hell.

>Um... what day is it today?
Jesus christ
So wtf was the deal with that? Why was mid era Spongebob, but especially this season, full of so many stalkerBob jokes?
I never did when I was a kid it was one of the post movie episodes I fairly enjoyed like it was a bit mean to squidward but he’s gone through worse
never did. I did think the episode where spongebob changes his house to squidwards was pretty cool from a david lynch horror point of view. was abstract and creepy

reminder that Spongezoomers on twitter defending the show's newer episodes and shitting on the older seasons are either trannies, underage or both.
nobody shits on the older seasons

nobody shits on them
Ever been to Cinemaphile?

That pisses me off to know end. Not having Squidward is why the movie didn't feel like it gave closer to the series
If the movie was squidward and spongebob instead of patrick and spongebob it would have been perfect. I think patrick had a lot of great moments in the film though.
aren't you guys a little old to be hate watching zombie spongebob
None of us have mentioned any SpongeBob episode past the second movie and even then most of us just brought up episodes from 2005-2010
shit bait go jerk off
this is corpse spongebob, zombie spongebob is the one on air
Yes. Yes I am.
Is nu Spongebob even fun to hatewatch? genuinely are any seasons so bad its good? And would yall join me if I started a watchparty to observe this trash?
no. no. and no.
For me, it was Good Neighbors. It featured SpongeBob and Patrick at their worst, and was the beginning of Squidward becoming the chew toy for the writers.
atlantis ep was notably mediocre to kid me
When I watched the best day ever marathon only for it to end on a garbage 11 minute episode
That or Atlantis Squarepantis
When ever they started turning background gags like Fred/My leg guy and Nosferatu who appeared in like one episode into secondary characters and completely squeezed out their comedic value. And also when they started spamming the "character randomly explodes after falling" joke that was used like once or twice in season 3, like it's the funnist shit ever.

just post-movie. thats all. only beautiful squidward is note-worthy.

Remember anons, when a mass quoting homosexual is spamming, Cinemaphile X is you friend
It lets you
1. un-(You) your own posts
2. hide "this post and replies" since perigay and most other Sharty mass-quoters reply to EVERYONE itt including themselves, this will effectively filter out every future post of theirs too
This one. The cgi feels really off. I don't know what they were thinking.
that's stop motion you fricking moron
Ok, cgi or stop-motion, it still looks like shit.
I don't remember the exact moment, but my brother and I agreed we got turned off by all the gross gore moments they started putting in.
I'm willing to bet you're actually younger than half the users in this thread
>anon was born in like 2008 or something and is trying to pretend to be 20 years older than he is
that wishing well episode wasn't the first bad episode i saw, but it was like, the first time the bad patterns were becoming evident to me. Nonsense plot, really simplistic and corny humor, tried to hard to end on a joke that was just unfunny
that was like one of the only good episodes in season 4
Season 4 and 5 have some good episodes (though a lot of crap, especially in season 5). Avoid everything after like the plague.
Thoughts on the third movie? it was supposed to come out on theaters but it got banished to streaming during the pandemic
anything that wasn't the first movie is a boring waste of time (only excluding the 2nd movie if you want to be SUPER generous)
It’s a pale, shitty imitation of the untouchable first movie
Yeah. Sponge Out of Water was inferior by far to the original but at least it was clearly trying to be its own thing and had the show's storyboard writers on-staff.
I completely forgot it existed
Animation style was cute and reminded me of season 1. Not much else noteworthy. Snoop Dog and Keanu Reeves had no reason to be here. David Hasselhoff made sense in the first movie because of Baywatch.
This movie was written by one of the original writers of Spongebob and the first movie
Got to see it theatrically in Canada, was kinda grateful just to see a NEW movie after lockdown. It felt chuggingly solid (even if the L.A. bit felt meme), aaaaaand then the third act happens. Grind to a halt.
It's not so much that the film suddenly became a Kamp Koral pilot, but more that the plot is suddenly about 'SB's worth as a person', rather than 'We Gotta Get Gary BACK'. Unless the film really was a Wonderful Life parody like the original title suggested, it makes little sense.
This episode was terrible but randomly screaming "THE POWER WITHIN" has looped back to being funny for some reason
yeah
"Ghost Host" somewhat works as an allegory for post-movie Spongebob.
For me it was around the time every character started getting flanderized. Even when they can make jokes land the fact that every single character is now completely obnoxious just makes it impossible to appreciate any attempt at quality.
