The reason Goo Lagoon has an ocean underwater is because it's based on a brine pool, which is basically when water with higher concentrations of salt and other minerals and is heavy enough to separate from the rest of the water in a lake. The reason why the fish can't breathe in it is kind of a kid friendly way to show how, when fish swim through a brine pool, they usually get overloaded with salt and have a seizure and die if they're in there too long. Some fish are able to live in there but they're few and far between, and fish that hunt in the brine pools have a resistance to the high concentrations but usually can't be in there long either. So the idea of the fish drowning in the water underwater isn't entirely true, but it's based on a natural phenomenon. Stephen Hillenburg (Spongebob's creator) was a marine biologist and he inserted a lot of those little facts and quirks about sea life and biomes in the cartoon, which I think is really cool. The more you know!

Welp. Gumball made me consider it. Now I’m doing it. You’re getting yourselves a new Patron.

This has to be a set thing! You guys haven’t seeing SpongeBob is a crime.

Fun fact: SpongeBob draining all of the Earths oceans, which has a mass of 4.5 quintillion tons, and explode all the water on top of him in just one second to refill the whole thing, requires an energy of 6,000 yottatons. Which is enough to nuke Jupiter 13 times over.

26:12 The Goo Lagoon is supposed to be a brine pool, which is a real-life phenomenon of "water underwater".

Squidward is indeed a fan favorite. Because the fans grew up and are now working in customer support. ... That increased the fans empathy considerably.

The beginning of one the most legendary cartoons of all time… Regardless of your stance on episodes post Seasons 4 and 5, and even with Nickelodeon’s poor marketing due to streaming destroying cable, you have to commend how long they’ve managed to keep the show alive (whether for better or worse). The most recent episode titled “Friendaversary” had Squidward recreating scenes from Seasons 1, 2, and 3 - like the salmon suit from “Dying for Pie” and wearing/doing the things that attract a sea bear from “The Camping Episode” - to bring back SpongeBob’s memory of him. It shows that the animators and staff still hold the show in high regard due to the most iconic moments of the earlier seasons.

Edit: I know this is very confusing for a lot of people, but the ocean it self is able to create very concentrated (typically salt) rivers and lakes within the ocean itself. Normally they can be very dangerous for sea creatures but I believe that some species can live inside these. I also believe there are some that are safe for fish to swim through itself. It's really a great introduction to marine biology with Stephen Hillenberg being a marine biologist himself. The subtlety of the natural ocean life mixed with the created cartoon world is great. Easiest example is that Anchovies hunt and live in massive groups for protection which is why there's always so many of them. There's also scenes where SpongeBob can multiply out of nowhere and that's naturally how some sponges do reproduce. It's really fun as an adult to re watch this show and be able to apply all the animal science I've learned to it currently.

"It's a giraffe!" always cracked me up as a child. So did Spongebob's bubble-blowing technique. LOL.

I'm 28 years old. One of my earliest memories is remembering the debut airing of SpongeBob, and from episode 1 I was in love with this silly and fun show. It's amazing how culturally ubiquitous SpongeBob has become

It's super rare to see people who never watched SpongeBob. You should definitely keep going it's super entertaining to see first time reactions to classics.

That "creepy singing" was the one and only, Tiny Tim.

In these beginning eps it was implied that SpongeBob had a crush on Sandy since in her first two appearances SpongeBob was trying to impress her by pretending to like air (even if he didn’t know what it was) and wanting her attention since he was jealous of Larry, they felt it didn’t fit the show, so they just became friends…….but there’s Ship Tease

Goo Lagoon makes more sense if you know about brine pools. That's a part deep in the ocean where the salt in the water is more concentrated and behaves like a thicker liquid underwater. Although fish usually try to avoid going into them because they could suffer a toxic shock from all that salt.

I love how they apply real life logic to a cartoon. It’s not supposed to be real

You’ve never seen this before? We’ll get ready for a wild ride 😂

I feel like never having seen SpongeBob is weirder than Avatar because of how much SpongeBob permeated throughout culture in general vs Avatar

OH MY GOD YES. THE FIRST THREE SEASONS OF SPONGEBOB ARE SO GOOD.

YES YES YES YES!!!!!! GET READY TO VIEW A HISTORICAL MONUMENT PEOPLE!!! This show, first three seasons and the first movie, are ABSOLUTE HOOD CLASSICS!!! They still hold up to this day!

Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown) is also the main Captain in Shawshank that holds Andy off the side of the building and he plays Hank in Detroit Become Human (game). First time I saw SpongeBob is when I visited my brother's frat at OU (The University of Oklahoma) on Dad's Day and the entire house was watching it. This was when the show was brand new as well.

Patrick:Whos ready?

The lore of SpongeBob is actually very interesting, I’m later seasons certain things are explained, plus SpongeBob is so iconic in every episode it never gets old ❤

Goo-lagoon is supposed to be based off a brine pool (a concentration of super high salinity water that pools at the bottom of the sea in some places, giving the illusion of an Oceon within an Oceon)

For you to be first time watchers, I'm so excited to watch you guys react to this show. ❤ Spongebob is my all-time favorite cartoon show out there. I know the "Bubblestand" episode would be a riot for ya'll. 😂 I hope you enjoy it! P.S. "Reef Blower" is the only mini episode meant to fit inbetween those 2 episodes and was the show's first and last attempt to try that.

Fun fact: reef blower is silent because from what i remember hearing, when they were making season 1 they were one episode short and needed to make one more, but they would have to charge the VAs extra if they didn't order multiple episodes at once, so they opted to just avoid voice lines for an episode. A false rumor went around for a while about the recording equipment being broken the same week the episode was scheduled to be recorded, but that was confirmed wrong by staff.

There's water under water at certain places. They're called Brine Pools. Super salty water that will sink and collect at the bottom, not mixing with the normal seawater much. It's really cool to look at, and very deadly to most sea animals. You can see ones who went in and didn't get out fast enough on the floors.

These classic episodes we're one the best parts of my childhood. I would always get home from pre-school excited to watch the newest episode of Spongebob. The golden days for me.

I honestly felt like I walked into childhood when seeing this. As a kid I never really questioned cartoon logic, just went along with it, but for sure this one is a welcoming one, and hopefully you all continue this ride cause it’s truly a fun one.

Hman looks great love what he did to his hair

Man going to Sandy's house the first time was iconic.

I feel like it's important to note that the creator of sponge bob is marine biologist, so everything that happens in it, is obviosly true xDDD

I really love how SeeOhKnee was talking about the pants ripping getting old at the same time as the characters in the show were getting sick of it too lol

Ah yes the absolute classic that is our wonderful sea sponge! SpongeBob SquarePants! Season 1-3 brings nostalgia due to the art style it used to have, as much as i don’t mind the clean animation look rn, this specific style will always have my heart.

Whew I knew SpongeBob was a gem, but I didn’t know I would be laughing so much! This show is such a treat!

God, this brings back memories. I used to be a SpongeBob lore nerd so much I won a contest about SpongeBob at a fair. The show in the early days really holds it up as historically significant in my eyes.

20:31 It's a giraffe. Funniest Patrick quote 🦒🦒🦒🐘🐘🐘🤣🤣🤣

You now have the perfect opportunity to take them into a whole new direction and react to the Spongebob theories of Alex Bale. Most of them are really really fantastic. I even believe that a few of them are spot on!

i'm 27 and i watch spongebob every day to sleep/nap. i love seasons 1-3 but season 1 especially! really great writing

I didn't know you guys were reacting to this, but now that I know, I'm totally going to watch all of them. SpongeBob was one of the main shows I watched growing up and I still love it! I haven't seen the later seasons (I'm not sure what season I stopped watching), but this show still cracks me up. I also love seeing you confused about everything. It's hilarious! As an adult who's worked in restaurants, I can definitely relate to some of the customer service parts of the show and I can relate more to Squidward.

"Find a record of pinkies out prior to 1999" How about historically verified medieval tapestry?

Dudes questioning the logic of a cartoon where the lead character is an anthropomorphic sponge 😝

Also just wanted to say you guys are my favorite reactors especially for SpongeBob and a lot of movies I like.

i never knew we needed a spongebob react until now, i want more xd for real, together with this series the reaction just has a nice vibe to watch

It's refreshing to get people's new reactions to spongebob for once, love this

Wdym you've never seen this before!! Omg I was watching this show since I was 3, best childhood memories ever lmao. Cant wait to watch you react!!

Man idk what it is about the early days of spongebob that just automatically brings me back to my childhood sitting waching these iconic episodes at my nana's house and not having a care in the world. You may not realize it then but when you look back on it 10 20 years later your like dam where did those days go? Like those were the happiest times of our lives and we just didn't know it yet because that was our everyday for us back then.

23:35 "I know this one 'cause this girl I was trying to date in high school was always saying 'Ripped Pants'" That's hilarious to me because the whole point of the episode was that when you keep playing the same note (specifically, "I ripped my pants" in this episode), people find it annoying. She clearly watched the episode and walked away with only the memes, not the point.

GOOFY GOOBERS……..ASSEMBLE!!!!!

You're doing Spongebob now? Cool! Also Spongebob is so relatable to my generation. I also rather die than admit that I'm uncomfortable.

Finished a wash today. I told myself, when I get out of lifes mess and become an adult Ill watch all my childhood shows in peace. Just rewatched season 1 episode 1 and im doing 1 episode a day till i have no more episodes than move on to Rocket Power with a bowl of cereal.

I don’t even know what to say right now… i have never seen anyone watch old spongebob episodes cause it’s old and everyone has already seen it, but ngl this is giving me such huge nostalgia

"We love a supportive friend" Remember that in future episodes with Patrick

I'm just amazed that Spongebob reactions have become a thing lately, because Usually Viacom will non-stop claim everything

18:34 If we talk underwater, we breathe out air producing air bubbles. Since they breathe water, they'd just be breathing out water when they speak

Yes!!! Another series to look forward to!!!! And yes SpongeBob can play his nose like a flute. It’s revealed in the jellyfish jam episode I think

Not having seen Avatar is also a huge crime hahaha. As someone who loves SpongeBob and Avatar, it’s a major crime not to see both. Both are so enjoyable. SpongeBob for mindless silliness. Avatar for the story, adventure, and world with a side of silly lol

I have never met anybody in my life that has never seen spongebob and I dont know how i ended up watching your video but watching yall react made me cry laugh

Binge watching all your SpongeBob videos since today is the 25th anniversary of SpongeBob

Looks at these new souls introduced to the glory of early Spongebob. The joy in their faces.

i hope when people start watching this show, they’ll comprehend that it’s 1. A cartoon and 2. A kids show. Therefore you really don’t have to ask or make statements that are logical since this show isn’t logical or realistic, so like one said in the video you just have to take it in :D anyways loved the reaction, always fun seeing people react to spongebob, the show that was apart of A LOT of our childhoods. Such a legendary show 👀

When did Hman Dye his hair?

The song that plays during the krabby patty montage “Living in the Sunlight” was written by Al Sherman. His two kids grew up to be known as the Sherman Brother, Disney Songwriting icons responsible for whats referred to as the “Song book of our childhoods”

“It’s a giraffe!” Will never not be funny to me🤣

The Goo Lagoon actually does make sense, it's most likely based on a Brine Pool, which is basically a denser concentration of saltwater than the surrounding ocean water, creating a visible underwater lake While Spongebob absolutely runs on cartoon logic, more of it than you'd expect is actually based on real life facts since the creator, Stephen Hillenburg was a marine biologist

y’all should definitely continue !!

8:01 That song “Tiptoe through the tulips” and the song in this episode “Living in the Sunlight” are both performed by the same singer, Tiny Time

Nevermind it's exactly like the Titanic 💀

7:53 funny he mentioned "tiptoe through the window" from insidious cuz (i just found this out) it is the same guy who sings that song, Tiny Tim, that sings the song in this episode

I knew when I saw the first pilot promo in 1999, 9-yr-old me knew this was gonna be the best show ever and I was right. 😂watching this reaction video brings back memories of what I thought about the first few episodes. I couldn't get enough of that yellow sponge.

the actor who plays mr. krabs also voices Lex Luthor in the 90s & early 2000s DCAU

I didn't know I needed this

This is literally the first SpongeBob reaction I've ever seen and I'm here for it❤😂

Mr Crabs is also the voice of Lex Luther in the Justice League tv show and also played Hank in Detroit Become human. Pretty much he has voiced a lot of characters

It’s been a looong time comin’!

I think this is a fantastic time to recommend the Spongebob Musical! You need little to no knowledge to enjoy it but maybe after watching some of the series it'll be better-

Are you guys watching and reacting to all the seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants, it will take a long time to watch them all. Can't wait for the fun, you guys will enjoy the show 😊

Wow amazing! I hope you guys react to the seasons of the show and the movies too, the 1st movie is just perfection itself

The anchovies being hungry and saying meep is a bit they bring back a lot on the show 😂

He has holes so yes, he can play music through his nose the same way you play a recorder/flute. Blow air through it, cover some holes, then you get sounds n shit

25:36 that transition between scenes was AMAAAYZIIING (as a certain SpongeBob character would say)

Bro, squidward was making fun of him, but I would TOTALLY pay a quarter to see someone doing bubbles like that

Yooo Bree with the Bold and Brash painting in the background 🔥

I vividly remember when Spongebob first came out. I feel old but I still know all the words to the ripped pants song, so at least I still have my memory lmao.

This was amazing lmfao, spongebob never gets old

that quick "be the joy" nice

This cartoon actually has a lot of dark theories and hidden secrets in it but it is one of my comfort shows

Damn HMan got a glow up

This brings back so many great memories and memorable meme qoutes

I’m loving H Man’s new look

I’d imagine the dots on Patrick are tiny spikes, seeing as he’s an echinoderm.

Omg, I love this cartoon ❤!!! Thank you for reacting, bring more!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥺🇧🇷🇧🇷

can we talk about how Sandy had a map to her house pre drawn from the exact spot that they met by chance

I wonder how many consecutive episodes are we gonna get an "Oh! that´s from the meme" XDDD

So there actually is such a thing as an underwater lake but it's basically a large pool of salt that sank, often these pools are actually poisonous and some fish will become temporarily paralyzed from swimming too close.

Great reaction you guys. I hope ya'll react to more spongebob episodes

I first watched spongebob when I was 2 or 3 years old, I remembered when it came on my parents told me that who ever was talking I would shush them until they were quite until the show was over.

If I recall, Mr. Krabbs is also the bad guy from the first Highlander movie.

SpongeBob will always be my favorite childhood cartoon. At nearly 30 I still quote it all the time 😆

the fellow on the bottom left looks like hye has one of those little pinwheel hats on his head.
