Shit dude :(

But now that he's no longer with us, there's nothing stopping Nickelodeon anymore. 😢

@@numbuh1507yep, they’re gonna keep running poor SpongeBoy into the ground :(

i swear i saw this exact same comment on a different video lmao

Basically the kids version of the simpsons except groening doesn't seem to mind

Waiting for the day someone says that Spongebob is a character that needs a lot of introduction and then doesn't elaborate.

@@houraisheperd9721 i'm gonna do this next time i talk about spongebob in a video now

Wait does saying that count as an introduction?

I’ve heard that quote so many times on KZfaq.

​@@guacamolenightmaretv7720it ironically does

No kidding

Literally the first shot of every episode is the camera pointed at Bikini Atoll dropping down to Spongebob's house. The show even used the Operation Crossroads footage in the Pie Bombs episode, the actual detonation of the Baker bomb on Bikini Atoll. It was never a fan theory. Bikini Bottom was explicitly shown to be under the Atoll in the show.

@@chahleybrosfullsignal Right?? It was literally there in front of everyone, and people debated if it was bs or not. When its clearly true, because its RIGHT THERE

isn't the actual fan theory about how the characters from the show are the result of the nuclear testing done in bikini atoll?

It's mentioned in the show's pitch bible but yeah that too

I saw it in 2006 and recorded it with the German dub not knowing it would become lost media one day. Asumed it would be a bonus feature on one of the Spongebob DVDs one day but it wasn't.

@@DasArchiv There was SpongeBob The Pilot a Mini-Movie and the Square Shorts DVD on January 6, 2015, but even that did not include the Astrology with Squidward shorts. It only included the shorts released from 2006 to 2011. A fine selection for sure, especially since a lot of those shorts were not on DVD prior. But that DVD could have had a lot more shorts.

Plankton was very dramatic in his segment. Yes, Squidward wasn't doing that segment. I think he tied him up or gave him something to keep himself busy with.

What years would astrology with squidward play in?

@@jaytownhd3534 2000-2001 in the US and 2006-2007 in Germany

probably because kenny mentioned "like a mop or something", so everyone assumed it was a mop. it was only recently discovered to be from a pencil company, if I remember correctly

​@luckynumber1358 especially in the Kid Leaves Stoop video essay about the subject.

⁠@@luckynumber1358correct. it turned out to be a pencil using a previously existing character named SpongeBoy

Tom Kenny said it was a mop and repeated it for years, but I don't think he ever actually knew what it was, just heard chatter. Internet sleuths confirmed that it was a series of pencils, not a mop.

I just heard some of the blues clues Audio was found by defnotbozo🎉

I'm not going to lie I thought this was a Evangelion reference at first

You could replace 'spongebob' in this sentence with nearly any franchise and it would still be true.. wild

​@@thatonespinster Copypasta lol

@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 shhhh

You don’t say.

That makes way more sense. People are still gonna act like its a mandella effect thing though lol

I think wed still need to find the commercial

No, it was indeed a part of an episode or segment. Probably can be found on a VHS somewhere.

Isn't SpongeBob's alarm clock a very loud foghorn?

​@@viscount8388Don't you mean Mendoza effect?

That and the Spongebob Lost Episode was fun

I mean they could be real. I was convicned the special MGM television variant for the Pogo special was a hoax until it got found earlier this year

Speaking of closing logos, I remember coming across a youtube comment of someone claiming to remember a version of the United Plankton Pictures where Squidward was holding hands with the plankton. I'm not sure if it's real, but I do remember the comment.

@@Danube-TV that is nonsense

@@JadeiteMcSwag Honestly, I don’t recall Squidward showing up there at all either. I’m just telling you what I remember.

@@Danube-TVYES!!! YES HOLY CRAP! I could have sworn there was one where they were all squidwards or something similar

Source?

@@viscount8388 Me? I'm the source. This is very clearly me talking about seeing it myself in the early 00s.

@@marburuu111So did I lol... People may say “nah it’s not real” but we know better. And year you’re right, it was loud haha.

@michaelbullen3104 Yeah, people jumping to Mandela Effect are being lazy. Lost media researchers overall tend to be very off in being convinced that if they can't find something on Google, it's Lost or never existed. Reading through the comments, people saying it might have been blended with an additional end cap card or with the beginning might be on to something as Nickelodeon used to run constant transitions between one thing and the next. It might not have been actually a part of the Spongebob Episodes but something that started after them every single time. However, I would lean more towards the idea that it was an additional credit card tacked on at the end. Depending on when things were broadcast and by whom and what eas involved in production, cartoons could have multiple credit screens one after another back then. These wouldn't always translate from who needed credit during broadcasting and who needed credit on a VHS or DVD release. I know for 100% certain I saw it on television as I have never owned a Spongebob VHS or DVD in my life. And, if the foghorn was dropped because it was loud and obtrusive and kids didn't like it (which seems to be a common theme), I'm sure they would have dropped it when they prepared the episodes for home releases. This is one that is going to havd to be found by finding digitized VHS recordings of Nickelodeon broadcasts from the early early to mid 00s. Also keeping in mind it aas not every single episode. There was a time where older episodes had the horn and newer episodes had the seagulls and they overlapped. I would guess maybe whenever they remastered or edited the epsisodes for a home release, they might have started airing the odler episodes recut with sea gulls.

@@michaelbullen3104my grandma had 6 episodes recorded on tapes for her grandchildren (me and my sister) when we come over for Bible school, and the last episode is culture shock and fun and those that had the foghorn. But she got rid of those in the mid 2000s

Omg I hope he sees this

I don't think that's it. The foghorn blared while the plankton were still on screen.

​@Hauntaku Do you not remember the Era of commercials playing in a little box during the end credits?

I remember the foghorn variant, it was loud and obnoxious. Can you find the video and let me know? I want to hear it to see if it's the same horn I remember or not. My memory isn't infallible but I'm curious about if your theory is right or not!

I think I also remember this United Plankton "fog horn" variant as I use to watch tons of Nick when back in the early 00s, could be false memory tho.

Nice profile pic

YES!! A Homestar Runner Fan!!

aw yesh

You're absolutely right holy crap

Yeah, it doesn't line up with the audio and his mouth looks like he is saying boy.

Give me Yo’r dog

I looked up on prime "help wanted" I don't know if this is the right episode if it isn't please correct me but Patrick only says "Go spongebob" once and it looks like he is saying "Bob" but I don't think I have the right episode.

@@apupper.9283 nah that's the right episode but you're looking at the wrong part, its where there's a shot of him running up towards the restaurant

Interesting that the game studio came up with the Rehydrated name for the remake that released recently. Wonder if they knew it had been used before.

It's at that perfect intersection between being popular enough for people to care, being old enough to be nostalgic, and being new enough for the lost media to still be pretty fresh in people's minds.

True

@@megaspit yup

I'd love to spend a day with him sometime.

@@toamatoro570me too

Be sure to keep the square tab out of the vhs. When it's out, it won't record over your vhs tape. Good for avoiding accidentally recording over something.

Same

Same 💛

I remember seeing that logo on television as a kid.

Is the united plankton pictures logo still present in modern SpongeBob TV airings?

@@jaytownhd3534 Umm... well I know present day Nickelodeon USA airings use on-screen credits while the episode is playing. However, several international countries airings still play the full official credits.

It was

That is the exact same audio, such a shame to has to be downloaded nowadays for listening to in full.

@@andykishore At least it's not lost

I have an original print box set of Season 1, I should check that out lol

@@Willowpostingthat probably won’t do much. The season 1 dvd is the only place the snippet of audio was released. And besides, the clip from the dvd is already online. I’m just wondering if there’s more to it than what’s heard.

I've definitely seen this clip around KZfaq before. I was on a binge of behind the scenes SpongeBob stuff after one video got recommended to me. I don't know who uploaded it or what the video is called but I distinctly remember what you're talking about because that's where I found out SpongeBob had been in production at least a year before I was born.

Lmaooo

The kamp koral and Patrick star show memories aren't canon so the lost media stuff is not apart of those fabricated memories

@@ashmander3465 no, i'm talking about the main show.

@@ashmander3465 in older episodes, there was a part where spongebob dumps all his memorys and only remembers "fine dining"

@@michaeltherobloxfan That was the *exact* episode that came to my mind when I first read your comment lol.

I could have sworn I've seen it too. I don't really know for sure or not, but I may need to look through some of my episode burned Spongebob dvds for it tho.

@@Doingo_Boingo do it

@@hokton8555 Alrighty then :)

I dont remember a horn at all

Same here

Having detailed articles from the Lost Media Wiki written by others help.

*helps

Congrats!!

To be fair to Tom Kenny he said “or some other kind of product”

A description of the figure would likely help so other commenters can corroborate information.

@@flurpoid I honestly don't remember much other than it was a big SpongeBob that was mostly rubber. I think he might've had interchangable faces?

Noice

Nice! Do you have any photos of them?

If it’s on DVD then it shouldn’t be too hard to find.

@@flaminhotyoshi7403yeah, it honestly shouldn’t take long at all to find if it were on DVD, which makes me wonder if it actually was in a DVD release or aired at all

I have seasons 1-4 on DVD (1 and 2 being their original print box sets) and as far as I know they aren't on there. But that might be be ause they came out when SpongeBob was already an established brand. There is a possibility it's on other, probably slightly older, DVDs as well.

Well, it was definitely a thing. I remember it being annoying and loud. I absolutely hate loud sudden noises so I remember it well. It might have been a bled over tho, that's completely possible!

if you don't remember it but are so certain that all of us who clearly remember it are not ONLY wrong but straight up lying about it, then you were either too old to pay much curious attention to such irrelevant details in things, OR you prob started developing your 1st memories after they stopped using that ending.

@@bitterman_ yep just like all the people who "CLEARLY" remebered Squidward turning into a snail

I know right? But their rarity probably means we wouldn't see them anymore soon sadly.

The sponge boy mop didnt actually exist, another youtuber (dont remember who) actually found out it was a pencil company instead and thats why in the wikipedia it said pencil instead of mop

I found some 'uncensored' sailor mouth but it was fake.

oh and it's Cityscape i'm using another account

interesting, do you happen to have any proof that it was actually found? I've heard that the audio existed for years, but there was never any tangible proof other than things like the spongeboy nametag animation cell.

That sounds like something familiar to me. I dont know if my mind is making something. Interestingly, looking up Karate Choppers air date, it says december 31 1999. I do remember being awake for the new years change. Which leads me to think, it's possible i may have seen the premiere hours before new years.

I may have to debunk that because I remember seeing SB-129 sometime in the fall of 2000, for the very first time. 🤷‍♂️

@@stevarino1989 Well, that lines up with it being out of rotation for about a year, since it originally premiered on New Year's Eve 1999.

@@stevarino1989 Interestingly on SB-129 airdate, it appears different air dates for some countries, according to the Encylopedia Spogebobia. Says in USA, it says 1999. But Canada shows premiere as September 2000.

@@MoarBob How did it go out of rotation? Did it just stop playing Nickelodeon?

I was just watching that one BFDI my name is chicky video and then this popped up in the end

Ive seen 2 different comments mentioning that it was apparently an insert that played AFTER the credits that used the foghorn sound, so people are misremembering the credits and this ad insert as one thing

Lmao you 100% guarantee because that's what YOU want to believe. Plenty of us remember it very clearly, and the excuse of "they used the sound a bunch of other times too tho, so please let me project my own poor unreliable memory to everyone else instead!" is lame af and offers absolutely zero substance as legit argument for anything related to stock sound-effects lol. That recreation that was shown in the vid, albeit more subdued IRL, is exactly what it looked like (though the seagulls and ocean SFX still played vaguely in the b/g along with the foghorn)

@@bitterman_ Of course it is what I believe. Oh well man?

@@bitterman_ sure bud, just like Squidward turning into a snail for sure existed

Same, i remember possible being startled but I'm not sure if it's my mind playing a trick.

I’m Canadian yet I never heard it- It’s because I don’t watch cable that much

I was 10 in 06, and honestly I think I may have seen it, but I just can't recall. I have this odd memory of being in our living room on the couch, half asleep and hearing it, but that could've also easily been SpongeBob alarm at the beginning of an episode, or a bumper or ad. YTV definitely did a lot of playing ads through the credits back in the day.

@@Needlington then why?

no one cares

i’m from mexico and i also remember it pretty clearly! i really think it might be a regional difference thing

​@@annygotchiim from chile and i think we always had the credit song playing at the credits, no sound effects, or maybe the foghorn stopped playing when i was born (2004), so if the credits w/ foghorn exists, we should watch recordings of the show before that year (no official dvd releases, since people in the comments said that credits there have the seagull version)
