"Who tells a bedtime story to their cat?" Fun fact, there are actually a lot of reading programs for children in libraries, where these children can read to therapy dogs. I believe its to help children who are struggling with reading, and are self conscious about it. These therapy dogs provide a nonjudgemental audience for these children, which helps them focus and relax.

"Swamp Mates" reads like a critical misprint happened and 2-3 episode scripts got mixed together and no one gave a shit enough to fix it.

The moment of "You got Bubble Bass too?!" broke me for a good minute

Remember how the ripped pants episode was entirely about how jokes stop being funny if you repeat them all the time? And now we not only have over half a dozen "my leg" references within the single episode of one trick sponge, but also an entire episode dedicated to Fred

Just when the world needed them most, the spongebob boys returned

I will actually defend Perch Perkins, as he has been a series mainstay since the fourth season. Any time the show needs a newscaster, it’ll be either Perch or Realistic Fish Head, and both characters have their pros and cons as far as comedic potential.

The "You'll swing for this" joke just feels like the time Spongebob got a cake that just said "Sorry about the scabies"

32:10 The guy playing the chief in Swamp Mates is actually still the same guy who played him in the original episode, Martin Olson. He just looks different because he’s obviously almost 20 years older in Swamp Mates.

Listening to Spongebob Boys feels like one of those nightmares that goes so, horrifically, disgustingly awry before you even realise whats happening and you wake up wondering why your brain would do this to itself, genuinely considering if demons might be real, and that you may just have glimpsed hell

There once was a terrible Mass Of which no living creature could Surpass As it was propelled A terrible blight was felt Neath the might of Bubble Bass's Bubble Ass #MoreSpongebobBoys

ive watched the spongebob boys playlist an ungodly amount of times, absolutely stoked to have an additional hour and a half!

I saw the Spongebob Boys notification and one thing was clear... I wasn't ready.

the character of three eyed caped Patrick could easily be retrofitted into the OP universe as Charlotte Pudding's dad

I'm shocked that Gordon Ramsay has never done a guest spot on Spongebob

So, my kid brother loves modern SpongeBob and as such I've had to see some of these modern episodes. Just last week I had to sit through Swamp Mates and I got really excited when I heard that Henry was going to be discussing Bubblebass's Bubbleass. I thought to myself, "there's no way" but I feel honored to have my suffering vindicated by the spongebob boyz. Thank you guys. I really hope that there'll be moar spongebob boyz in the future. 😄

i just wanna say. as much as you guys complain about doing this, i really appreciate it because the utter nonsense that is you two explaining and commenting on modern spongebob is helping me get through some tough times. i love you guys and appreciate you doing this show!

I was definitely not ready for bubble bass' bubble ass

I’ve been binging old episodes way too often lately. I’m addicted to the Boyz.

Ok about Swamp Mates I like to imagine that Spongebob is telling the story in the same vein as Tolkien storytelling. Excruciating detail, lots of fancy words, and amazingly captivating. Edit is because I wrote Friends instead of Mates.

Literally cannot express how excited I am that this series is back. I may never be this happy again

The grand return of S P O N G E B O B B O I S

Listening to the description of the first episode, I genuinely thought you'd made it up. I had to enter the hallowed grounds of the Spongebob Wiki itself before I believed that it was a real episode

Swamp mates feels like an AI generated script

dont feel to bad for the dementia patient comparisson, just last week i was watching the later seasons of voltron with my friend and made that exact comparison

"And then the body horror begins." Is not Spongbob always body horror?

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!

Well, I’m calling that first one as fake. 7:18 Edit 1: Swamp Mates, 25:08 real. I think I recognize the title. Edit 3: 27:49 We’re not playing that game..!? Edit 4: I legitimately did not believe a word of what you were saying, until you said this. I’m still going to be skeptical until I get to the end of the video. But god above. Edit 5: I had to look up the episode, I had to confirm this was real. I’m staring at the page on the SpongeBob wiki, and I still don’t believe this is real. Jfc. Edit 6: Added “edits”.

Nothing ever good follows the phrase "...and then the body horror begins."

Dear Henry and Gus (Gusenry? Hus??) I too would enjoy more spongebob boys, if nothing else but for the most concerned facial expressions I make periodically as I listen. I put these on occasionally for many things like arte and gaminge so it's always a trip and a half that day. The way you two and occasionally lexi describe the events of the episodes is... so cool. Obviously it's cus you're writers and saying and writing things in ways that are interesting is your job, but there's a kind of "I'm listening in on someone who just experienced an eldritch horror and a layer of reality is slowly being peeled away as this happens" energy to it. Energy? Vibe? Just like Word adequate for what it is, moving on. Anyway I ended up googling the episode "krabby patty creature feature" because the description "half-patty monster" wasn't enough and. I really shouldn't have!! Dear lord!!! Didn't make me as sick as knowing Squid Baby exists but considering I actually had seen the latter (long before knowing this channel) I guess the feeling is skewed towards whatever I've actually witnessed. Godspeed diregentleman, keep up the (???) work. Also gus if you have read this please give me the vague-st sentence you can muster. Just because ;(

Y’know, after you mentioned SCP, I feel like a video where you two (and maybe some other people) just reading and discussing SCPs would be really cool!

A SpongeBob boy is never late, he arrives when he needs to.

Honestly this is more fun than the episodes themselves.

It's simultaneously hilarious and tragic that Mr Krabs is incapable of loving Mrs Puff and hating Plankton at the same time.

Henry: theres three crocodile hillbillies and they are making My horrible brain: OUT! Henry: hot sauce moonshine

How did you know I was silently hoping for more SpongeBob Boys? Bless you both, a bright spot in my rainy day.

More SpongeBob Boys ...would make 2023 a very good year.

The sheer insanity of post-Season 4 SpongeBob is something to behold. Glad to see this show make its' surprise comeback tour.

new spongebob boys????? my prayers have been answered at last, hallelujah

I genuinely thought they were telling fake stories at first. Damn, that's... kinda depressing

Ask not for who the Sponge Boyz, it Boyz for thee

The only Spongebob episode I've ever is "Secret Formula", and yet I keep coming back to this series.

The Menu with Spongebob characters is, and I'm being 100% unironic here, something I would consume. Get on it, AO3.

Here it is SpongeBob: The SpongeBob Boys are back in town! *"The Boys are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy blares over the speakers* SpongeBob: It's really loud! Patrick: You need it louder? OKAY! WHOO!

Spongebob Boyz: The show you can smell!

i have waited so long for a new Spongebob Boyz. In one episode you said that this is nobody’s comfort show… you were very wrong

Bubblebass. Bubbleass. Two words that are related to one another. Two words that rythm. Two words that, when put together. Just like the clapping of cheeks. Becomes harmony.

THE SPONGEBOB BOYZ LIVE!!! Maybe this year won’t be so bad after all.

46:21 I learned not to listen to you guys while drinking anything because I nearly spat out my water! Also the laugh was just too good!!

i was planning on rewatching these at some point that it would somehow line up with a new installment needless to say, but i wasnt ready

I went ahead and watched the Swamp Mates episode, I have a hunch, not any evidence, but I wanted to offer it, I think the weird Bedtime story opening of the episode was an already built scene that could potentially apply to any episode. None of the jokes in the opener have anything to do with the actual episode and it doesn’t fit thematically. I really think they just had the “library bedtime story opener” in the back pocket for when an episode was too short. That’s the only way this world can make sense.

So good to have Spongebob Boys back! I wasn't ready for the sudden return

BABE WAKE UP NEW SPONGEBOB BOYS JUST DROPPED

I’m addicted to these, especially the Nicholas Withers episode, it’s good to have a new one :)

Great! Now all I need is the grand return of Ponder Over Wander, and every reason I subscribed will be restored.

I wish you could hear the excitement in my voice when I saw the notification for this. I've been looking forward to some new spongebob boys.

Babe, wake up. New Spongebob Boys just dropped

I'M ONLY 15 MINUTES IN? It feels like its been 45 minutes, this is gonna be a good one SEND HELP

Me, opening up YT to find something to listen to while I clean my room/vaccuum: HELL YEAH

It's been a rough week, and it's only tuesday, but seeing a new upload of Spongebob boys..... That made my day.

Been lookin' forward to this!

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN AGAIN

The spongebob boys are back in town

"I need water" Dear god, why can't they even get that right

I have the feeling however wrote Swamp Mates forgot about the SpongeBob reading to Gary part at some point or just put it in to fill time

god i wish spongebob was back to its roots also sandy can travel through dimensions now cant wait for the lovecraft episode

Bubble Bass's ass requires more SpongeBob Boys

So about the Squidward's suicide being referenced in the show thing, it was removed in later airings. It was replaced by displaying a baby squidward in a diaper, which he then fills with a smile on his face. There was another possible reference but it's less overt

Please do another 3 hour long Spongebob Boyz. I need it so I can sleep to it

I was literally relistening to old episodes, wondering what happened, and you drop this hot stinky gift from God on my doorstep. SpongeBob Boys Never Die.

12:50 this episode aired a whole year before Hillenburg's death, so it was produced way earlier, when he had more direct involvement with the show

YES! HAVE NOT BEEN AS HYPE TO SEE A NIGHTMARISH PATRICK ON MY TIMELINE SINCE I SAW BUBBLE BASS BUBBLE ASS.

39:06 - I don’t think Gus has ever sounded so distressed before on this channel

YES!! This series is so fuckin good I was DYING for another one. I'm serious this is gold

the boys are back in town! the nicholas withers is back in [REDACTED]

im pretty sure they're crocodiles because "saltwater crocodiles" and our protags breathe salt water.

The best part of Spongebob Boys for me is waiting for the moment when the title and thumnbail make sense

You want to know the difference between modern SpongeBob and Junji Ito? Junji Ito is the fun type of horrifying. You actually want more when you read his stories. This sounds painful to watch.

Yessss more SpongeBob Boys. Thanks for this Tuesday pickup!!

God help us all, the Spongebob Boys have returned. And they come bearing Bubble Bass' Bubble ASS.

I’ve been waiting for this

litterally just got done rebinging thanks BOYS

I'm not ready. I'm not ready. I'M NOT READY.

ITS A JANUARY MIRACLE!!! MORE SPONGEBOB BOYS!!!!

ITS BACK IM SO HAPPY

I HAVE BEEN YEARNING FOR MORE SPONGEBOB BOYS. YEARNING.

So glad to see this back!

My day is now 50% better

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HELLL YEAH. i audibly gasped when i saw there was new spoglebois. my cat enjoys "having conversations" so i will often read whatever fanfic i am reading out loud to her as we lay in bed, so she can "reply" to what im saying while shoving her bubble ass in my face. so. who reads a bedtime story to their cat? me. im glad youre back. to many more in the future!

I legit was gonna ask where this went. I got worried yesterday.

To the boys are sponged! Excited at episode!

Hell yeah the boys have returned

SPONGEBOB BOIIIIIS WE’RE NOT READY

Holy shit it's back ! Omg how I missed the boyz so

6:48 TO GRIND. YOUR. SKIN.

Honestly, despite how unnerving the episode was, Krabby Patty Creature Feature wasn’t really all that bad. Then again I could just be biased because I’m a sucker for horror lmao

More SpongeBob boys please!

THEY'RE BACK!

It’s back!

I cannot Believe the bubble bass episode is real. Bubble bass bubble ass

THEY'RE BACK, FUCKING POWERFUL
