The “I come for your pickle” line in the Halloween episode does not get enough appreciation

Watching these episodes for me is wild because it feels like every third line is a well known quote. The definition of classic.

One thing I love about employee of the month is that SpongeBob is the antagonist, he started the beef, I wish there were more episodes like that

I think you should definitely give season 2 the exact same treatment as you did for season 1. Seasons 1-3 is the quintessential classic SpongeBob era and going through season 1 with your commentary gave me a good nostalgia trip

Everyone needs a friend like Sandy. They call out your bullshit. They keep you grounded. They're honest.

The delivery on "I've come for your pickle" was fantastic. My gutter brain takes it to a darker place too hahaha.

PLEEEEASE do Season 2, these videos are so relaxing and nostalgic, S1 is my favourite season but I would really really love to hear your overviews of all the Pre-Movie seasons (it will take time, and if you don't do it then I understand because its a huge request, but I love your videos and Spongebob so the more the merrier as a viewer)!

Something tells me the bartender in MuscleBob BuffPants knew EXACTLY what was up, and just decided to let it play out.

I just love it when the guy is beaning chased by an anchor it's so funny and dark but funny as hell when you see how it plays out.

Toulouse-Lautrec is the most highbrow reference in SpongeBob history. Squidward calling Gary "Ginsberg" in Culture Shock is probably the second most

The musical thing you're talking about is called a leitmotif they're used to denote a specific character, place, situation, etc. they're very common in movies and television

So many amazing quotes in these early seasons. "Go ahead, get in" is always a go to. Along with "I'm ready I'm ready!" "No you ain't!"

It’s funny that Patrick freaks out when SpongeBob tells him it’s his brain when literally Patrick is the one who shaved SpongeBob’s head!

Exactly. I love seasons 1-3. Parts of four, but yeah... ...also, the planetarium joke flew right over my head as a kid until I realized Spongebob was a fry cook and she was worried about zits all over her face from the grease - the fun of being a teenager. Also, yes. *cheers* Season 2!

I never understood how SpongeBob could contend with Sandy at Karate when in a previous episode he couldn’t even lift those teddy bears.

The first four seasons are PURE GOLD! 🌟

Oh my God I used to watch the prom episode on VHS every night to fall asleep 🥺 just hearing it gives me the comfort I haven't had since a kid

I remember as a kid. The scariest part in SB-129 for me was actually the look of the time machine. It's like my first experience with the backrooms. Just doesn't look right

The Suds ep really stuck with me cuz, I watched this episode as a kid and actually believed that if you leave your fridge open your house would freeze and you'll get the suds. So, I was scared of leaving the fridge open XD I still quote this episode saying "shut the fridge cuz, you're gonna get the suds" if someone leaves it open

SB-129 is hands down my favorite episode of the series. I only saw a handful of episodes in my childhood, but that episode always stuck with me for how surreal it is, which probably awakened my facinating of such entertainment.

Even though my favorite season is 2 for how strong the comedic writing and concepts were at that point, 1 wasn't afraid to throw every great creative idea the team had at the wall and somehow, everything stuck.

i'll be honest there's something kind of heartwarming about episodes where pearl and spongebob hang out and get along, i know there are others later down the line that Aren't the chaperone and to my memory, they've never done anything creepy with the duo like romance wise? so instead it kind of feels more like spongebob is pearl's older brother or cousin, given how much he looks up to and loves mr krabs. i also like them hanging out bc it feels like they have a similar "kiddie" dynamic to the one that spongebob and patrick have, but instead of it being bc patrick is just. kinda dumb, it's because pearl really Is a kid. with the two of them it still feels like they share this optimistic naive childlike excitability, but without having to lower the pairs' intelligence to find that commonground

Various media tends to imply that Gary is relatively intelligent by the standards of the series’s cast, with SpongeBob able to hold full conversations with the snail despite the latter only being able to meow. A cute bonus from the dream episode is that when the SpongeBob and Gary warn each other not to get too curious, they each address the other by the proper phylum that the character belongs to (poriferan and mollusk respectively).

Weird to think, but I think the anchor arms episode had a profound impact on my ideas of fitness as I grew older. I grew up aware of the fact that aesthetic muscles may look good, but being strong is more valuable than looking strong, which resulted in me having a healthier relationship with the mirror when I was in high school. OG SpongeBob had some great morals to share.

I always loved how I’m the beginning of sleepy time SpongeBob tells Gary “mind your wandering eye you little mollusk” since the entire entirety of SpongeBob was inspired by the album and the title track of Ween’s the mollusk and that’s a paraphrasing of the weird ass lyrics of the song

Lol the shark guy is a influencer of the 90s 😝💀 Nickelodeon was ahead of its time lol...

The Krusty Krab theme is called *_"The Rake Hornpipe"_*

The chair-thingy that Squidward is being carried on is called a Litter. It is a form of human-powered vehicle(or in this case fish-powered). You also get them as bigger rooms. It is used to carry important people.

"Oh oh yeah the rabbit! don't bother Sandy!" That quote made me sad as a kid, like why is he being so mean

The real joke is they’re looking to put the ghost in the casket vs the body they thought they killed 😭

My head cannon is that since Squidward is also a mollusk he grew a shell.

Id have to assume that the anchor arms are merely plastic inflatables at best which explains why spongebob couldnt lift the glass up

Scaredy Pants was my very first Spongebob episode back in 2000-2001. I also have a memory of a lengthy period of time when Nickelodeon never aired SB-129 and Karate Choppers, and I thought it was a miracle when they came back.

Here’s me theory on how the hair is grown on the last setting of ‘Anchor Arms’: think of the glove as a ballon with pattern and texture built into the skin, as the air is blown that pattern/texture is emphasized. The “hair” is really just inverted follicles of the glove that revert when enough air is blown in, causing the pressure to push the “hairs” out. Kinda like those pens you’d get at the book fair that look like little animals and when you squeeze them the eyes pop out.

Great video. Do the second and third season. Pretty much do everything up to and including the movie if you can. I think the movie would be interesting for you to dissect as the dividing line of SpongeBob eras

I really enjoy SpongeBob's casual experience of injury in early episodes, he's a sponge so it's true to nature as its been studied, but its really very nice for a main character in slapstick comedy to be less resilient than absurdly so.

I actually like to image that in the Chaperone episode that it was indeed SpongeBob at the prom but he actually used the dummy to avoid the kiss from Pearl, you notice how when the dummy is in the frame it has a static facial expression? Yeah that's why I have this theory for what actually happened, but who knows, this episode's ending always confuses me too lmao

After watching all those YTPs years ago, I always expect some SpongeBob episodes to go off the wall or random whenever I watch them. Also, I personally like SB-129, it was really interesting to see Squidward travel through time and visit the Alone void. Kinda trippy and unique, gives off that Backrooms vibe.

“Deep throat his entire clarinet” 😂

A perfect surprise to start the first morning if the year. Thank you for all the work you do❤️

Please do season 2! Although, we all know how much work that will be, and nobody wants you to get burnt out! Please do give it a chance though, if you’d like, because these walks down memory lane are incredibly enjoyable to us viewers, and hopefully, to you as well!

Season one just bangs differently, I feel that way with nearly every show. First seasons are the most important I believe, have best jokes mixed with usually worse audio and graphics, which I actually like.

Oh! Motifs/Leitmotifs! That's when music is used to represent certain characters and places. Very common, almost required in media. Sideways isna good channel to learn about them

45:13 Patrick's line delivery here is so good. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare ya."

1:42:10 For as cheap as Krabs is, you gotta give him one thing, at least he actually sends his employees home when they aren’t feeling well

16:42 Can someone please explain that joke to me? That's always bugged me for over 2 decades.

YES I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I SAW THAT YOU UPDATED THIS I USED TO WATCH SPONGEBOB ALL THE TIME AS A KID AND THESE VIDEOS BRING ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD THANK YOU 😭 🙏

You think a 7 inch crab is scary try a japanese spider carb

I was in my 40’s before I discovered SpongeBob. It was a show I could watch with my daughter and enjoy. I would even watch episodes by myself. It’s one of the best cartoons that both children and adults can enjoy.

Maybe SpongeBob's pumpkin is one of those miniature pumpkin? It's about the same shape, and about the right size relative to a pineapple.

I never understood why but Suds was always my favorite episode growing up. It might have something to do with me being sick all the time when I was younger, but even then I still don’t know why.

Absolutely you need to review season 2. There are many good episodes of SpongeBob, but I stand that seasons 1-3 are the golden age.

What purpose would the arm cruncher? It would just crush your bones. No muscle build there.

The line "are you on some new allergy medication boy" made me laugh so hard

I will never not laugh my ass off at the anchor chasing the referee.

The episode I was a teenage Gary still just creeps me out to this date and just seeing that transformation just makes my heart beat like crazy

Memory unlocked, I used to actually be scared the fridge would freeze the kitchen if I left it open

I was a teenager during this (the “future” episode) and the chrome made me laugh because with Y2K, a lot of the collectibles that were made were very chrome-ish. To me that line was a joke about that.

I've been watching SpongeBob lately with my daughter, and so far, we only watch episodes from the first two seasons, but man every classic goated episode is in season 1-3.

I'm in my mid 20s now, but I still think some things shown here are hillarious. Like when they think squidward is dying so they put him in the sun to warm him up. I just broke out with laughter and now my stomach hurts lol.

What a nice New Years surprise.

Definitely do Season 2, It’s just as special as season 1!

Please keep doing these. These are great breakdowns that aren't at all infused with personal bias. I can't believe I have to say it but I can't watch many animation reviewers because often, personal politics get ranted in. You didn't do this you stuck to creative and story based things in spongebob. Subbed and looking forward to more of these!

The karate episode is actually a metaphor for sex, there are many hints in the episode. 1. SpongeBob says safety first as he puts on his helmet (condom) 2. he calls up sandy for a late night karate session 3. He won’t stop thinking about it at work and ends up getting in trouble for it 4. Sandy watching SpongeBob chop his salami really gets her in the mood for some karate 5. “Do you think mr. Krabs ever does karate” 6. They put on a late night live karate show at the krusty krab

SpongeBobs voice crack when mr krabs shows up I love it

Not gonna lie that bit in MuscleBob BuffPants with the Anchors chasing the Fish that measures the distance had me howling with laughter.

Am I the only one who notice the voice from the commercial in the musclebob episode was planktons voice lol no wonder get got enough money the keep the chum bucket lol he’s a salesman on the side

1:26:30 - "Mind your wandering eye, you little mollusk" reference to the Ween song, The Mollusk. The album, with the same title, was apparently an inspiration for Stephen Hillenberg in creating Spongebob, which is why Ween was featured in Spongebob (Loop-de-loop, the song Spongebob ties his shoes in, and the beloved Ocean Man)

I think the tree in spongebob's closet was his chrismas tree, that patrick turned into shoes without asking.

whenever this show ends i guarantee that the first 3 seasons will be in the hall of fame for cartoons according to a majority of the fanbase

I think the small handful of truly up to date SpongeBob memes are the plankton roasting many generations, and the “look at the time, it’s high noon” plankton line. Idk other ones but most are def from the first 3 seasons, so goated

I always thought that the hairs are embedded intro the anchor arms in such a way that more pressure forces them out, like a very gross spaghetti machine. As for why it doesn’t happen to SpongeBob? Maybe it’s a different setting or he bought a cheaper, more limited version, since he doesn’t need to „impress the ladies“

38:47 Squidward’s scream in the background when he’s stuck down that hole cracks me up everytime

I just realized why Patrick made him clogs lol it’s because it’s a costume of the Flying Dutchman so he’s Dutch 😮

7:44 In my personal theory, the reason why Sandy signed SpongeBob onto the anchor throwing contest is because she quickly figured out that SpongeBob was lying and she wanted to embarrass him

The first episode always felt like a commentary on natural strength vs "gym" strength

the dream episode and the massive gold mine that is SB-129 are trippy, random and cartoonish as hell. The newest episodes of spongebob are like this as well in nature but idunno why the season 1 trippy episodes are good whereas the former were bad. They are same but different as well.

But in all seriousness, these videos have been very enjoyable. Im shocked how I’ve retained memories from nearly every episode thus far!! Keep going until I figure out when my brain hit its max capacity!! Lmao

In one episode Squidward trips and crash into a toilet with his head first. Then it flush.😂 The ultimate humiliation 😂😂

that who me from the first episode will forever be my most quoted spongebob dialogue

The fact this video came up on my recommended after watching the other 2 a few weeks ago made my day

I just realized in the Sleepy Time episode that all the characters with the 7 deadly sins are in Spongebob's room...

I love the episode where SpongeBob turns into a Snail and the episode where Gary runs away called Have you seen this Snail.

You know what's interesting, at the beginning of the series, Spongebob is supposed to be 14, so it's implied by the Junior Prom episode with Pearl that Spongebob Graduated early or the school system under the sea is different for every species.

1:01:05 Notice how Squiddy can walk on the Wall and Roof considering he has Tentacles, nice attention to detail!

SpongeBob the OG liver king 🤣🤣🤣

Octavius Rex is a fancy name

“Everything is chrome in the future” is prolly a reference to the early 00s media trope of “the future” there was a metallic theme from the cars to the clothes. Think Zenon : Girl of the 21st Century. Or any rap song set in the “future”

Also the Halloween special, the ABSOLUTE madlad Patrick, gave SpongeBob clomps to wear, for his flying DUTCHman cosplay....and as a Dutch person myself, i absolutely love it

my favorite channel, i wish you had more videos especially on spongebob because i could binge as much as i can every night but i totally get it ur busy because youtube isn’t a important thing in anyone’s life unlike actual important stuff but u already done a lot of great videos, so i’m super greatful for that, please make more episodes of spongebob if u can and want🙏🙂

Nobody gives season 1 credit no more, it was a really strong season comically and with suspense.

Would love a season 2 retrospective over time. I feel like most people could agree that the original 3 seasons are good enough to warrant similar series

Fudge yeah, Shawn coming through with the good dopamine today! 😄🤟 Happy New Year, homie. Definitely gonna watch this video at least 5 times over the next month.

My personal head canon for the end of Chaperone is that spongebob really did take pearl to the prom, but had his dummy go through saying goodnight to her bc he knew Mr krabs would probably react the way he did.

"Powerfully smart but trapped in a body unable to speak" is a thing that happens IRL with people. The most common example would be autistic people with verbal communication difficulties. There are notable examples of very brilliant autistic people who were just thought of as unintelligent because of that, until advances in understanding (and being lucky enough to be able to benefit from them) allowed them to communicate effectively with their allistic caregivers (spellcheck doesn't consider this a real word, which I think further hammers home the issue).

I love the way buff SpongeBob is drawn

“This squirrel is trying to kill me”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If you listen closely to Squidward Q. Tentacles choking on the Clarinete, you can hear him yelling.

The fact Squidward spent thousands of dollars for a purebred snail for the race when he couldn’t even be bothered to take care of Gary

Sleepy Time was definitely my favourite. I don't know if it made dreams my favourite little curiosity, or if it just happened to touch on something I already like so much. The night time mood contrasting with the dreams is also just so wonderful, in a way I'm not sure I can explain. And it's also special because it's a piece of media that takes me back to when I watched it, including how it feels to be that young, there's a sense of comfort and freshness that I think is just lost as you become an adult. But thankfully for me, something completely different and recent that was able to mimic the special feelings I get from this was Deltarune, however that's another thing where I'm not sure I can answer the why of it.
