It's a perfect bow on the series. My only complaint is that I wish Squidward was in the movie more since he was so integral to the show's feeling, but apparently he was written out because of executive meddling.

> but apparently he was written out because of executive meddling.
No? He didn't fit thematically into the narrative of SpongeBob and Patrick being seen as childish.

>>148966264 (OP)
I can hear this all so clearly

So why David Hasselhoff of all people, was Baywatch still in the public consciousness in 2004?

>>148966264 (OP)
I hope I hear this song when I pass away.

>>148968053
The grown-up know-it-all mature facade of squidward is pretty childish, it comes more as pretentious but it's there

>>148966264 (OP)
How would SpongeBob be as a manager?

Spongebob is so cute :3c

favorite part

>>148968053
Someone like a month ago posted about how Squidward could tag along by being antagonistic to them and mocking their juvenile outlooks while ironically being childish, only to finally have a turn of face during the scene where they're drying out and singing "I'm a Goofy Goober" alongside them, finally having a guitar duet with Spongebob during the Goofy Goober rock scene to show him truly embracing his own inner child. It sounded pretty kino.

>>148968986
I hope SpongeBob ends before I pass away.

>>148970185
It won't and you know it. That fucking sponge will be voiced by Tom Kenny AI when he dies.

>>148969988
I'm so glad you agree!

>>148966264 (OP)
Iconic, absolutely iconic. But can you imagine if they used Waving my Dick in the Wind instead?

>>148966312
When

>>148970950
I can hear the music

the spongebob movie is a 10/10 cinematic masterpiece

>>148970049
While that would be complete and utter LUDOKINO, that story only works if Spongebob just straight up ended at the movie. No continuing seasons. Nick was not going to do that, though.

>>148972508
The movie's still canonically the end of the series. I think. At least last time I checked.

What does everyone here think of the subsequent movies? In my opinion the second one felt like an extended TV episode in tone, which I actually liked, it seemed to have some of the spark of the first 3 seasons.

>>148972641
The characters did act slightly more like their early season counterparts in the second movie. Probably because they would be annoying if they acted like their later season selves. But the first half of the movie felt entirely pointless until they got to the surface.

>>148972641
Second was serviceable, haven't seen the third one, am mildly interested in the fourth because Derek Drymon is directing.

Yes, they constantly showed reruns of it on daytime networks. If you were a kid either home from school sick or just bored on a summer day you probably caught it at least once. Tons of media also referenced it so it was just sort of something you picked up on regardless. And I'm just talking from a kid's perspective, it's not like adults just forgot about it.

It's neat as hell how Ween is just woven into the fabric of Spongebob. They're a genuinely great band too, I have no idea why they developed this reputation of being a spork random band. They have like 5 genuine 10/10 albums.

Explain.

Why the fuck are half of /co/ threads just random quotes?

Hey what happened to the Krusty Krab 2 anyway? We never saw it again

He'd had some ideas about the characters but didn't really know how to make them fit together. He purportedly got high as shit on LSD and listened to the Mollusk and that experience is what made him tie all of the disparate elements together. Literally the first track of the album sounds like Spongebob, Patrick, and Sandy and it's widely been speculated that he used it for voice direction when conceiving the show.

Holy fuck you're right

>>148975712
Is there a source where I can read more about this? The Mollusk is one of my favourite albums.

>>148975795
Not sure about the LSD connection but this article talks about how the album influenced the show
