My theory is that a lot of kids traumatized by SpongeBob's transformation into a snail then went on to have nightmares of Squidward's transformation into a snail.

I love it. No Intro just straight to lost media head first.

Im still really intrigued about how Tom Kenney was the one to initially spread the false mop rumor just cause he couldnt remember what the legal team had said. I have watched *both* of the videos on the topic that reveal it was a pencil and a comic series several times cause i simply cant believe it.

😳 SpunchBop Is lost 😳

I think it's funnier that you have Squidward stuck with the syringe and then wipe to him as a snail... comedy-wise it makes sense

Say, I'm just letting you know that I possibly know what the "foghorn" variant was: Credits for "Texas/Walking Small" originally had a country version of the opening theme which the logos features cows mooing (which could've been misinterpreted as foghorns). The credits are rare, due to most prints using the regular theme, but the song has been archived: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKlnYN12scqlnac.html

The Foghorn variant is the first lost media that you've talked about that I remember hearing/seeing!

i remember the foghorn as late as 2010. i got scared from it but it wasn’t a splitscreen ending it was over the final few seconds of the ending from what i remember

When it comes to the squidward tranformation. I think its a mandela effect type thing. I think our brains have combined the memories of the many many different instances of squidward having something horrible done to him and the memories of the spongebob tranformation sequence together into a single scene.

I think we may be looking in the wrong timeframe for the foghorn end card variant. I was born in 2000 so i wouldnt have consciously been watching SpongeBob on television until 2007ish. I almost always watched spongebob on live tv and i 200% remember this. There was two sounds of the horn, a higher one and a lower one. I think the seagull and wave sounds were still in the background . A bit shook to hear this is lost. I definitely remember this airing multiple times.

I swear I used to hear the foghorn during the closing logo. It used to make me jump sometimes, so I think that's why I remember it. Maybe it's just a Mandela Effect or something lol. Also no, I didn't record any tapes at that time and my family never bought any SB home media, this is just my memory of the closing logo

I outright remember the foghorn bit. That's basically the only lost media I've EVER thought "oh yeah, I remember that. I'm surprised it's lost." Of course, I will be the first to say that memory can be faulty. It's just rare that I actually remember something like this.

Why does found lost media make me cry

Currently eating popcorn out of the SpongeBob movie popcorn bucket, epic.

2:11 I definitely remember hearing the alternate sound as a little kid. And i remember it being on VHS too. I don’t remember what episodes they were but i remember hearing it

We don’t even have all the promos that aired consistently on the channel for SpongeBob,I’d imagine they’res a bunch more stuff to be discovered.Especially when cast members say the show was kinda low brow for a little while.

There is something funny about a normal picture of Mr. Krabs and the word CANCER being placed over him.

I remember hearing that fog horn when nick transition from Nick to Nick at Night when George Lopez would come on.

“Babe wake up, new lsupersonicq compilation just dropped”

yooo I remember the foghorn being used as the outro, was always my preferred sound for it, had no idea it was lost media!

Every neurodivergent person is throwing their hands up in celebration seeing this video and its length

Lost outro def gotta be out there I 1000% know I’ve heard the fog horn

thinking about the fog horn is scaring me i can imagine it and its so scary im a grown man and im terrified of a foghorn that mayor may not exist

Bro saw squintkwerks pentist

1:11:23 ah yes. Spongebob, a show that aired in 1999, was originally pitched to adult swim, a programing block that was founded in 2000 and first launced in 2001.

I may be misremembering, but I’m 99% sure I remember the foghorn ending and I’m fairly certain where I heard it. As a kid, I had a SpongeBob disk for my VideoNow player. If I remember correctly, the foghorn was featured at the end. I have vague memories of purposefully turning down the volume on my VideoNow player during that part as to not wake up my sleeping mother.

I believe a lot of this could be false memorie due to are young brains being overstimulated by the visuals,I recalled a whole episode of SpongeBob that doesn’t even exist.

I remember the SpongeBob Foghorn. It was a two-tone descending note.

Never bought into the squidward snail scene thing, squidward's transformation was played for laughs in a "he finally got his commupance" kind of way, and cutting to the alley scene with them all meowing was the perfect punchline. Having an actual scene in between wouldve ruined the comedic timing of the ending

After I heard that SpongeBob was originally going to be named SpongeBoy, it made Mr. Krabs calling him SpongeBoy in Squeaky Boots more sense.

oh I absolutely remember foghorns over the curses

29:51 "Squidward's signature turban" isn't a phrase i thought i'd ever hear in my life.

That astrology section was a chore to get through. Jesus Christ.

Because of it being cut together clips it allows for the effect of "A Little bit SpongeBob Lost media" or some variant of it being sad back to back, It makes it sound like "One more video" but it's spongebob media

LSSQ your videos are always great do more drawing streams lol 😂

Just fell down the rabbit hole of lost media. Thanks a lot 😂

I still have access to a lot of my SpongeBob VHS tapes, I’ll have to take this excuse to buy a VHS player lol

I was so bored and this video came at the perfect time 🙏 I thank you

Big W a definitive spongebob compilation thanks supersonic!

_I woke up and seen this, nice video to watch while getting ready for school! Thx LSSQ!_

I remember the Summer Splash bumpers. In one, Squidward attempts to play the Hey Arnold! theme on his clarinet and SpongeBob says "that is...great, let's compare it to the original version!" and then cuts to Hey Arnold!

lost media is so scary to me

Re the foghorn variant, I remember that from around 05. It wasn't like one long blare, it was more like "bwuuuu-wuuu" (2 blares), followed by some clanging and seagulls in the distance. I always thought the seagulls in the normal end splash were from the same audio.

WOAH HOMEWORK CAN WAIT IM WATCHING THIS

Holy shit! The foghorn! It doesn’t overtake the seagull sound, like it’s off in the distance.

I like that they still had Mr krabs say spongeboy me Bob

41:41 oh hello spamton Didn't expect to see you here

Have you watched "A better schedule for Nickelodeon's main block" by Evan Rosman? It can SAVE Nickelodeon.

Yes, Daddy LSSQ, give us good compilation! Yes, yes!

I might have a theory for the first one! I have a distinct memory of the air horn being played, I remember clasping my ears since it scared me. I grew up on dvds that were bought in flea markets and most of the time they were pirated. Maybe it has something to do with that? Or maybe some official dvds have it? Idk its honestly just a thought and idea.

I think I've actually seen the fog horn closing logo.when or were I don't remember but I remember hereing and seeing it at about the ages of 6 or 7 I'm 15 now.

Spongebob is a show that needs no introduction

I remember the foghorn sound. it used to scare me as a kid.

I think I remember seeing the Got Milk commercial when I was little, but it was probably around 2010 when I was 5. I remember seeing it on TV though

Today 27 years ago SpongeBob aired on television for the first time. Happy birthday SpongeBob

This has nothing to do with this video, but I found a new topic within lost media for you to discuss with others. I’m not the one to actively search for lost media, I just enjoy it. This piece of LM is about a nostalgic 2010’s game “My singing monsters.” I would consider this Media partially found. In this game there were comics which all discussed about certain topics. These have since been completely wiped from the game, and near no trace of it is left. One of the comics has been found though, printed onto a shirt of all things. Just like a lot of other lost medias, one of the only and most accessible ways to find this would be from archived files or old pictures. (Or t-shirts, I guess) I’m not sure if this topic has been recommended to you, or is talked about already in the lost media community, since I don’t check the wiki often.

I feel like I remember the foghorn, but I do question if it was even an endcard for Spongebob. Could be a different studio endcard.

I am not sure but could've have been a 2 note foghorn sample? like first note plays high then second note plays lower? "Daaa Dunnnnnn"

Favorite technically lost media found for this stuff in my opinion is spongebob behind closed doors, i dare you to search it but its very very raunchy

Still a massive victory that behind closed doors was mostly found

Oh yeah I remember that SpongeBob foghorn I think it was around 2010 or mid 2000s but unfortunately I didn't archive them but I know is real 100%

"It only sings around you Squidward." !? Omg what!!!😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hrlp wanted is actually a very common re-airing Episode in Germany on Nickelodeon and (back in the days) Super RTL

Not alot of people in here talking about the ending with spongebob behind closed doors. Tbh, this is something I would really be interested in especially will what's been surfacing about Dan Schneider. Always very impressive that you ever found this, and someone sent it to you directly.

Are all of the topics in this video repeated or do I have dimentia?

The fortune cookie thing seems very familiar and I feel like it might’ve been in a Christmas special, but maybe I’m thinking totally wrong

That segment from the help wanted interview was found a while back by Kid Leaves Stoop.

*sees the thumbnail* Omg Spingbib

Like if you love spungebob and lost media!!

Is it just me or does this video have no audio Edit: I just closed and reopened the video and I guess it fixed it.

I’ve been watching SpongeBob since it premiered and I can hear the foghorn in my head as clear as day. Like others have said, it wasn’t a continuous sound, but two-toned. I even recall hearing the seagulls for the first time and being like “oh, that’s different” and it took me a bit to get used to it. This was probably early 2000’s, like ‘01 or ‘02.

i been looking for this for years i remember in like 2006-2009 there was nickelodeon waffles commercial and i remember there was nick characters on the each waffles but i cant find the commercial anywhere.

I appreciate you mentioned it was a pencil company despite the fact he said it was a mop company. This is a good example of why eye witness testimony, even the creator got why the name was changed wrong. There was never a mop company with a spongeboy.....

I remember the horn at the ending

I’m really anxious to see that baseball animation!

I remember the fog horn variet it was just one big fog horn noise

Between SpongeBob's "Behind Closed Doors" and Rugrats' "Incredible," as well as how casually Ressel seemed to talk about these storyboard jams, I have a feeling there is, or was, a lot of content like this floating around the offices at Nick. Especially since the "Incredible" storyboard was carried to another building to be continued by the Thornberry crew before being confiscated. This sort of thing must happen a lot. I think it adds a lot more credence to the idea that there might be more books like Behind Closed Doors for other nicktoons. Everyone involved in these things seem incredibly desensitized to the kinds of stuff being put into them.

Yes, the foghorn logo is real, I VIVIDLY remember it scaring the shit out of me when Season 4 was premiering.

The foghorn closing one instantly sparked something in my brain. I def feel like its a vague enough audio of "foghorn + seaguls and waves" that it could literally be from anything but because Spongebob is so on the brain for us now as adults and especially for circles on the wiki that we just fill in that blank there. It could very much be real or even just a foghorn from a random Spongebob episode that our brain are crossing these wires, and after 1 person fills in that blank its much easier for our brains to fill it in with that same reason even if before we would've never thought like that, if it is real I would love to see it.

I’ve definitely heard the foghorn at the end, i only had cable for a certain time frame so it happened between 2004 and 2009

Ayee! The Got Milk commercial is also posted on reddit lol

ha imagine if in Spongebob 4 Spongebob gets called Spongeboy as a callback to the pilot

think about the time it would take for the squidward transformation, and the time of the scene wipe used in the show... either that would be a super fast transformation and nothing after or they would have to stretch another scene to fill the run time to match accordingly to the time lost from removing the squidward tranformation scene. that whole theory is actually stupid that no one uses actual common sense when thinking about these things... im pretty sure you know exactly what im talking about or trying to say.

A mid 2000s exemplar of the Dutch version of Nickelodeon Magazine had an entire section on the origin of SpongeBob, showing early concept art, quotes from Stephen Hillenburg and does indeed mention SpongeBoy being the original name of the show and character. I don't have it anymore, though...

squidwards transformation into a snail was real i have clear memory

Funny thing is I remember the fortune cookie bit so clearly.. I just can't think of the episode it would be from and it's killing me..

The Foghorn variant has got to be real

I vaguely remember the scary horn sound in the end of SpongeBob episode. I only remembered that after seeing this video though.

LSuperSonicQ's videos are the best!

Don't forget those bumpers from nickelodeon (2007 shocktober) there was one about spongebob as frankestein

everyone talking about squid transforming and the foghorn but WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT IN THE END 💀💀💀 that is the LAST thing i’d expect to see in a spongebob lost media video

Does anyone else remember the SpongeBob fire awareness ad?

I don’t know if this was mentioned in the video, but I believe it originally was planned for squidward’s snail transformation to be shown, but they cut it before the storyboard was made

my grandpa (RIP) use to record every spongebob for me during the week and give me the VCR tape when i came over for the weekend. Im gonna ask my grandma this weekend and see if she has them in a storage or something. I’m gonna have to find a VCR tho

SpongeBob is art

I remember when socker boppers had character bop bags and they had 3 diffrent spongebob ones but there was one that had sound and it was 48 inches I've only seen 1 image of it on worthpoint but never seen another one sell ever

I think if the squidward snail scene exists it was probably only shown during broadcasts of the episode that could or would have needed to be longer to fill out air time

51:50 Funny thing about the stolen fanart, this isnt the only time a branch of Nick has stolen something for a promo. On their 90's Nick block several year ago, they had a short promo that would play of a few dogs that would bark, drawn in a 90's style before the animals would begin "singing" and puking as a metal song would kick in with the lyric "Before this is over, I will taste your blood!" The song is I of the Obscene by Davola, and was used without the creator, Aaron Cloutier's permission. I know he wanted to sue them but idk if it went anywhere.

Ooo I'm headed down the lost media rabbit hole today ^^

i couldn't tell you what episode or season or any time stamps but i have a very distinct memory of mr krabs calling spongebob 'sponge boy my bob' idk if this is common knowledge but cool reference either way
