Nick just pays squidward to stay

and makes Squidward worst and pain. yea writers won't and eat shit except for paul Tibbit

"The writers were cheap and caring but they HATED Squidward quitting the show 🎶" 'Animanicas reference'

Yeah more episodes should be written like band geeks. It's almost written in the same format as this episode, only instead of Squidward being miserable the whole time, the people who would normally ruin his life, are the ones that make it better.

There were a few episodes where Squidward wins after that.

@@johnmakesstuffwowWho, Me?

@@Solar-Fox-Productions nah i was making a joke

I bet someone got fired when they said that

It would have completely changed the show's formula if Squidward was happy with his job

Wasn’t there a whole episode about that though? And Squidward just took advantage of SpongeBob until SpongeBob snapped.

@@theworstdadjoke6518 maybe the costumers would torment squidward again but since squidward knows spongebob has his back it will become more bearable.

RIGHT??? LIKE JUST MAKE A WHOLESOME EPISODE

This was the first time when we saw him unironically smiling

The only time I've ever seen him happy literally in my life

Band Geeks is my fave episode because Squidward faces a lot and is knocked down but rises to the occasion and is rewarded for the hard times he endured. Seeing Squidward win ONE TIME made that episode already the best. And the humor in that episode was top notch, not to mention Sweet Victory is a great song.

Nah, that was definitely a win

You know what yeah he did won that episode he gained respect and beat squiliam he won

Tom Kenny said that I believe.

It’s sad tho like I can relate to squidward and I don’t like working working with a co worker that annoyes the shi out of me comes 7 am and I can guarantee u that people fake call out being sick every 4 weeks cuz there tired of waking up early, or they h8 there job and they just want a break

Me too.

quippy- a clever witty remark

This comment is giving me flashbacks of Sister Sam.

if youre sick they still expect you to work feeling like shit and making everyone else sick. the intelligence of bosses is extremely low. its like sending a sick kid to school like yea lets just make everyone else sick for no good reason.

Womp Womp

That’s the massive issue with the puritan linked American “work ethic” I say this as someone who is religious. The whole “working is next to godliness” is the biggest load of bullshit I’ve ever seen. We need to be more cognizant of peoples mental health, our god would want us to be sure our neighbors are taken care of mentally, physically, and emotionally. It’s agitating to see this whole “if you can walk you can work” mindset because I come from the Amish, which are close to puritans, they have the SAME mindset and it’s just plain stupid. I’m not even going to say “bosses care more about your employees” because let’s face it most bosses aren’t real men, they’re the fake wannabe men who use money to cover Insecurity. REAL men care about their employees on a level that means the employee doesn’t even need to call for a mental health day because the boss sees it and offers it to them. End of rant sorry for going off like that I hope your day is wonderful and i am sending good mental thoughts and health your way.

The concept of “mental health days” really pisses me off

@@zombieblaster5754 the public isn't much better. I was at work with a respiratory infection because we were low staffed, and as I'm on the floor dying this customer is still asking me questions 😑

why cant he just get a casier job at a nother resterant or a shop

@@oliverknowles847 I feel like all the other restaurants we’ve seen either wouldn’t see any promise in him or would think he has too poor of a personality.

@@justin2308 true

I think his lazy sour demeanor would get him fired from any other cashier job. For some reason, Krabs is the only one who puts up with it.

@@unoriginalusername1748 we've seen though Squidward wasnt always so sour. Its only once spongebob shows up. So if squidward were to get a new job somewhere else he would be a lot happier and no longer sour. It would also allow the creators to add a new cashier character for the Krusty Krab.

Right!? I, and I'm sure a lot of other people as well, can actually relate to the episode's dream because WE'VE had dreams like that, all because of the hellish place we worked or went to school to (and oftentimes still are to this day). Jay's line about the dream being based on Squidward's awful reality is so dead-on to that it's scary, because this is EXACTLY what happens to some people in real life. Not the cartoon aspects, but being stuck in a job you hate with terrible people that hound you over problems THEY create and blame you for. And those people rarely get justice because so many people value money over other people's lives. What Squidward's dealing with is freaking Post Traumatic Stress Disorder! It' not "like PTSD", no it IS PTSD. Those who read this and go "pfft, young people can't get PTSD", or "only soldiers have to deal with it", *THEN YOU CAN SHOVE IT.* I've been diagnosed with it since I was a teen and for EIGHT YEARS I've been dealing with nightmares about the worst of the schools I went to. Even now, with better medication, it's still not 100% fixed and it might never be because I'm not sure that's possible. Anyone at ANY age is able to get PTSD, people, and it can have destructive impacts on ANYBODY. Just from this review this episode disturbs me. Just... why are they so insistent on torturing a character that just wants to be left alone? Why? Why is that too much to ask, just to be left in peace? Squidward isn't incapable of being in the wrong or hurting somebody, but the trouble he has to deal with, the "retribution", is way too disproportionate. Especially those times when he's not hurting anybody AT ALL! What, is he the staff's punching bag? A character to take their anger and stress out on? It's totally fine to make a private character for that purpose, but first: Squidward was NOT originally created with that intention, and second: instead of keeping this to themselves they are instead making absolutely sure that kids see this trash, which can lead to many of them thinking that it's okay to torment quiet, introverted people on a daily basis JUST because they want to be left alone. Don't think it's possible? This is a strange world, people, and it's best to keep an open mind.

@@GoldLeafGardenia I’m trying to figure out why Mr Krabs wasn’t arrested for literally sending Spongebob to “cure” or torture Squidward. Squidward just needed some time to recuperate that’s all. Mr Krabs is like, I guess I’ll spy on you and send spongebob to do my bidding

Not just Bosses... to be honest Society itself often have still stigmatas and prejustice against people with Mental health issues. Especially with things like Ptsd (like Gold explained good that EVERYONE can have it) or well... Depression. It is one of the most common mental health problems but often dont taken seriously. Becauce most react "You are just sad stop bitching" or worse think you just fish for attention....

That's half the fun I guess. Always root for Squidward, always let down.

Or he became homeless or couldn't find another job and was pretty much forced back He did quit and ended up good the time he went to work for plankton but then got beat up and became a literal door mat for Mr Krabs

@@pokemonfanj yes I watched that episode today

It's probably hard to get another job and he obviously needs a job to survive

He even moved away where he stayed with a bunch of squids well he has Stockholm syndrome from being harassed so many times by SpongeBob and Patrick he went back

But Squidward has no soul...

Not even worth 62 cents in his eyestalks.😅

Lol

Ah greedy krabs must eat shit

Lowkey makes sense

Remember SquidVille episode? Squid was once in a life where he felt happy there. Looks like he could also get a job there. He can stay there indefinitely. He could choose to stay forever. But he chose to return. Of course he still remembers the address of the Squidvile and he can come back any time he wants. But somehow there are no episodes that show him returning to Squidville.

Actually Squidward simply wasn't able to get a job on his own. He had been homeless for months after leaving the Krusty Krab, and it was not Spongebob or Mr. Krab's fault, he just can't find a job elsewhere.

Similar how it is to work at a supermarket. So many people look down at use even we probaly have ONE of the most important jobs in society.

I work retail…… that’s all I’m gonna say.

I never worked at a fast food restaurant, but is it really that bad?

@@remaks3929 Well, working in customer service is pretty much the same. I imagine food service is worse though. All the stories I’ve heard from people who work in fast food. You’d be surprised how incompetent and rude customers are. I had a lady get mad at me because she went behind my register and I told her not to. Had another guy come in and harass one of my coworkers. He was white, old and carried a golf club around. Was being racist to our customers (they were Indian, he was hitting on the woman and the man got angry because that was his wife. Dude said “Sorry man, thought that was your daughter. You know how Indians are cradle robbers”) and kept trying to hit on my coworker (who looked like she was 12-14. You had to be at least 18 to work there but most customers don’t know that). The coworker from my department went to hers, cussed the guy out, called security cause he was escalating, and the police had to show up. Turns out he was banned from like 8 stores in a span of 6 months because of this shit and kept stalking the women. The girl had to work in the back with one of my good friends. Poor girl, it was only her 2nd day. We didn’t see her after that, guess she quit. Asked my friend what happened to her and he said he had no idea. Those are just two instances. I have plenty more stories. Was only there for 3 months. One thing about that job, there was never a boring day. Idk what was in the air because I haven’t had any experiences like that anywhere else I worked. Most days were chill. But that place… idk what the hell was up. The customers, coworkers, and bosses especially was on crack.

I relate to Squidward mentally and to SpongeBob's work ethic, and now, I'm thinking I should quit my job.

@@captainvann4526 So just quit and hope that another one will just so happen to be available? Problem with your idea is that jobs aren't guaranteed. Especially seeing as most of those thousands of jobs either require specific certification, specific education, years of experience, or just knowing someone in that particular field. Many people do what you do and either end up losing their home or having to go back to their original job. Also money provides security which is one of the key tenants for happiness. The idea that money doesn't provide happiness is a ridiculous idea often said by people who do have money. Go to a single mother living pay check to pay check. Stressing every day whether if she can feed her children today, and tell her that she wouldn't be happier with money to pay the bills and eat.

@@captainvann4526 - This is a bit of a blanket statement that doesn't really work for a lot of people, but I do think it's important to not settle and to look for more job opportunities so you can leave your current job once you've secured a different one that will still keep you afloat. That said, for how horrendously Mr. Krabs pays them, I doubt the paycheck is doing all that much for Squidward, lol. My guy might as well at least look around for a new job and apply, although considering how poorly every single thing he tries to do to take control of his own life is immediately and irreversibly ruined by Spongebob and sometimes Patrick too, I doubt it would work out. Squidward probably doesn't try to leave because it seems pointless to try when it probably won't work and will cause him more trouble anyway.

And there was that one episode where Mr. Krabs happily sells SpongeBob to the Flying Dutchman so he would avoid being sent to Davy Jones locker and get a few measly cents, and Squidward scolds him for giving away SpongeBob. Definitely one of the more admirable moments of Squidward.

@@bmiller7419 I agree well band geeks was a good conclusion to squadward's arc but we got many episodes after it so it doesn't really really count so when the show ends we need a good conclusion for sequidward

@@theonethatlovescartoons3196 i agree also i feel as tho they should have stopped as season 2 continued seasons just feel like their milking it i mean the characters already had an arc why continue

I'll be waiting in 3064 when Nickelodeon decided enough is enough and let's just show rest for once.

Don't compare that shit to Squidward

@@erickmarques8608 yea but to be fair theyre pretty similar. They didnt know what to do with meg so they just totured her, similar with squidward

@@erickmarques8608 Fun Fact: Family Guy is equally as good as spongebob. And just like everyone on Reddit says, both shows started to get crappy in their later seasons. Listen, just because you can’t handle a adult show doesn’t mean you have to diss it. Also, don’t call it a shit show. If it really was bad, then there wouldn’t be so many memes about it.

Not that bad 😭

@@forthelolz1121 I think he was saying don’t compare Meg (that shit) to squidward 😭

GYAATTT

I am astounded that this KZfaq video even exists when there is already a pre-movie episode where Squidward quit. Squidward cant quit because he is a loser that can't do anything else in life. See Season 3 "Can You Spare a Dime?"

@@marlon6598 Can we not forget the episode where Squid does quit and moves to his entho-city? He didn't have to work at the Krusty Krab, he CAN leave. They made him depressed afterwards but he can most definitely quit and not be homeless.

@@PolarRook I thought he only moved to a HOA in that episode, not also quit his job. Did he really quit his job that episode? Because he straight-up yells in Spongebob's face in "Can you Spare a Dime" that he is a loser incapable of doing anything besides being a cashier at the Krusty Krab.

@@marlon6598 it’s not even that he’s a loser, he simply has huge aspirations for himself, but fails to recognize his flaws. Squidward’s failures fall on him with his high opinion of himself. I don’t believe Squidward is a loser. He’s an aspiring artist, musician, and glamorizes a better life for himself. But he needs to be humbled and relinquish his envy of others such as Squilliam Fancyson. I think Squidward could go anywhere, but he has to change or he’ll never go where he wishes to be.

@@Polomance862 Well-said

That’s a reach. That was only for the sake of the plot

@@captainvann4526 No its not its perfectly logical. Also in Frozen Krabby Patty he tried to quit. Being a cashier for 17 years doesn't qualify you to follow your dreams.

@@captainvann4526 lol it's been shown time and time again that people in Bikini Bottom generally don't like Squidward, so it makes sense nobody would wanna hire him and have to deal with his ass lol

@@acecashman1237 who wouldnt, with squidward attitude he better off with his own species oh wait HE did try that and he wasnt too happy etheir because its the same thing all over again

"Spare change, Ma'am? Spare change."

True

Whuu,so grim and twisted.

Not karma

Part of this makes me wonder if that's partly why today's kids are so nasty today

Like Squidward suicide?

He'd abuse this knowledge like Universe abuses _him._ "Oooh booy, here goes square inpersonafication of writer's incompitence for scripting genuinely good storyline." "I hope you see how messed up things i go trough. Right?" "...Are children watching this, at this point? Because it is getting gruesome now."

SquidWard needs an No-SquidWard day he needs to be alone for atleast a day..

I think he kinda already knows that...

That should become a Halloween special tbh

And he's blacklisted by the realtor because Spongebob and Patrick are just _that_ annoying, so he can't move.

@@RoninCatholic oh yeah i forgot about it

Well he had a chance to quit and go with Jim on the Jim episode because Jim cared for squidward and wanted him and Jim to start their own restaurant. Squidward didn’t take that and ended up stuck as a cashier because he had nothing to fall back on. He had the chance to quit but didn’t take it

@@RoninCatholic he can move but his house will probably just sit abandoned

With the way things are going now I seriously doubt it

I Seriously doubt that, he's probably gonna be stuck in the Krusty crab for the rest of his life

i never thought that i would agree with deadpool but yes, i agree

That would be too obvious tho

I doubt they would even end it, they are milking it so hard...

I have been through those same struggles beore, and let me tell you, your health comes first, you'll make it through this, but you must value your health even if it risks your payment, it's not worth dropping to the floor in a deadly stress induced condition over I've lost people that way

@@Diretance Having a job so stressful it causes you nightmares and depression isn't a cartoon It's only been portrayed by one It's not the same as a crazy concept like a sponge that can talk, this is a very much real thing people go through and at this very moment suffer from, and it's worth talking about, whatever medium it's portrayed by

This is why I hate humanity. They do this BS to people like you who did nothing wrong. I hope you get a better job in the future.

@@Diretance Even kids cartoons can have something to say.

@@Diretance you missed the point.

Agreed.

now that's saying something

You should really leave Cloud alone and let him live a normal life.

@@PlahaKumar Letting Cloud have nice things isn't very entertaining. The boy needs to know his place.

@@cradiculous But he needs nice things for once in his life.

What's the other half of the internet

@@sirembrum49thegreatmoth2the half that doesn’t go off on one person for doing a small thing 💀💀

@@ToastComix I see that's a good side but man the bad side seems way more prevalent

@@sirembrum49thegreatmoth2 I mean, what can ya do in a generation that gets offended by the slightest speck of dust on their opinion? Sad to see it that way

@@ToastComix mf forgets hes also in the generation maybe if you weren’t chronically online you’d see that there is more to the world than the crazy people you see on youtube shorts street interviews

It was a reference to the normal length of a SpongeBob episode excluding the 24 minutes specials and the 16 minutes episodes

@@diegodubber2140 Yeah, we got the joke.

@@goldenpig6453 I didn't.

Spongebob logic i guess.

This baricades tracks inside my brain. Krabs likes to torture Squidward MORE than his own money...

mr krabs literally sold spongebob in a episode for 42 cents ofc he likes hurting he would do anything for money

I had to re read this out loud. That’s so sad

Nah, NO WAY. There is nothing that "Eugene H. Krabs" likes more than money. I mean sure, he may have given SpongeBob a day off to torment Squidward, but I don't think there's anyone who'll overlook the time were he sold SpongeBob's soul for 62 cents.

Yeah I noticed that too

Why hasn't he sued mr. Krabs

@@mrzaro4538 he has and he actually was lying so he probably wont try again

@@mrzaro4538 same reason young actors wouldn't report their sexual abusers

@@sam4gaming135 good point

Different writers.

@Evil Pimp Dying for Pie, yes.

Then leave town

@@ForrestFox626 Why can't that be a plot for a movyoe special? It could just be a Squidward & Squilliam Plot.

@@ForrestFox626 He tried it when moving to Squidville. He got bored of it, since he was too tired of doing the same thing every day, while not having to put up with Spongebob and Patrick’s nonsense.

@@pepearown4968 Then find a neighborhood like that

@@pepearown4968 Kinda ironic when he does that pretty much everyday.

@@carswellcarswell2593 And,Tom doesn't really care too much about Jerry's antics unless his owner forces him to handle Jerry.

@@Spingerex ANd Emler did kill bugs at the end of Opera

I remember a game or something for Tom and Jerry. Or maybe it was a dream. But either way it was one of my first memories.

@@nicholassims9837 "What do you expect? A happy ending?"

@@nicholassims9837 Bugs was faking remember?

That is very insightful! Your comment needs and deserves more likes!

I had a dream the other night that I was at my work (UPS warehouse) barefoot. I wear steel-toe boots for that job.

So these episodes are a cry for help from the animators? Haha. Hehehehe. So funny. Heheheh. Heh.

I’m happy you are no longer stuck in your toxic workplace. retail and customer service jobs need to be completely restructured to give workers some semblance of rights because we are literally left with serfdom with extra steps rn.

I quit a job within a month of having a dream where i was doing my work at home(as in, work was invading my non-work time), having customers invading my personal space, with one person being so absolutely infuriating that i pushed them out of the way and woke up in horror as they started to fall down the stairs. This was after a coworker threatened me and i "mysteriously" had a slashed tire not long after, and one day when i got into my car and just screamed my frustration. As for that last thing, i'm sure the person in the car next to me was aware i was a worker there and probably decided *not* to go into the store. I screamed, stared ahead for a few mins, then just drove off. Yup. Good times. Good times. Leaving that job was honestly the only thing i could have done at that point.

Basicly: "Noone WANTS to be a Squidward." But sadly many of us ARE Squidwards

Is it bad I never once sympathized with squidward like sure I felt a little bad but even then I didn’t really give thought to his character.

@@littlechi7738 His character at this point is getting trashed on by every character because ‘haha squid suffering means funny.’ You aren’t missing much. His old character was fine because, like Jay says, he does deserve some comeuppance for his actions and he did have some friendly moments with Spongebob that were genuinely heartwarming.

That won’t work, because they would have to go back to the status quo at the end.

@@goodmachines7743 Simple, alternate universe. It would suck that our squidward would still be stuck in the status quo but at least one version would be getting better and it could teach kids that it's ok to ask for help

@@lyrlesnizard4947 Wait, I’m confused... how would this episode be structured?

@@goodmachines7743 like a normal episode but at the end it zooms out into the universe or something zooms in in a different place into our squidward gettin annoyed by spongebob or something. Idk, just a thought experiment, I didn't really put much thought into it

@@lyrlesnizard4947 Yeah... that didn’t sound like a good idea for an episode, tbh.
