ITT: The moment you decided it was time to stop watching SpongeBob

probably when I aged out of it

Context so I could stop watching even earlier

The first movie

Sometime around the tenth anniversary
It was a long enough ride, I just remember them talking about best day ever like it was more than a nothing burger

The first movie was so bad I never watched Spongebob after that

>>150122599
Season 7 was my drop off point.

The wig episode. That shit was so painfully stupid and unfunny.

Season 5

SpongeBob got better around season 11, arguably the best season made after the golden age, but then around season 13 it got bad again, it’s better than the Tibbitt seasons, but it just doesn’t feel much like SpongeBob anymore

All that Glitters

>>150122488 (OP)
Around midway through season 4 is when I stopped watching it regularly, the show started to feel really off. For some reason I'd still tune into the specials though because they generally still had ok writing.

Now this piece of shit? Holy fuck. All that buildup for what was being billed as a new Spongebob movie and it was fucking rancid dogshit.

I'm a zoomer so I grew up with the worst era of Bob anyways but I stopped watching nickelodeon entirely after the episode where they acted like babies and Squidward had a shit filled diaper. I couldn't fucking believe what I was watching

>>150122488 (OP)
The last episode I watched was with goo on the beach

>>150122488 (OP)
Weren't they eating the fungus in this episode?
Also, my answer is probably Patrick the game

>>150123782
it's so funny that everyone in this special sings at one point except the character voiced by David fucking Bowie

>>150122488 (OP)
I don't care to get the images, but the big one was that episode where Spongebob got the monster pet that tried to kill Gary and was constantly defending it even as it was trying to kill him two.
It was solidified when I saw the episode where Mr Krabs crossdressed as a pregnant woman with Gary as his belly.

I can't blame you if you were a dumb kid but damn I'm getting old, I remember people here bitching about these episodes on the internet when they were first airing

>>150122808
I quit watching Spongebob wayyyyy the fuck before this episode aired but I remember first seeing screencaps of it and thinking it was some autistic furry drawing himself into the more recent episodes. Like holy fuck this is so fucking jarringly out of place.

>>150122488 (OP)
I've seen bits and pieces here and there like the 3D movie but you can tell the soul was gone in Season 4
That said, every clip I watch of modern Bobsponge seems to be some humiliation ritual like the MY LEG guy getting his own episode or Pearl watching some abomination eat used gum with her feet. I can't tell if I just seem to catch the show at its most bottom-of-the-barrel. or if bottom-of-the-barrel is simply the status quo.

It wasn't really the splinter but A Pal for Gary where I could feel myself getting tired of it.

>>150122488 (OP)
The Squidward baby episode

>>150124597
As flawed as Waller era is, at least it has a pretty great art direction, the Ren & Stimpy-like animation looks pretty good for a modern cartoon, and if you think they make faces to "make the next SpongeBob meme" you’re a retard who doesn’t know shit about cartooning.

You can tell how artistically experimental it is, "A Fish Called Sandy" was made to look like a season one episode, and "Delivery of Doom" does have some pretty neat looking visuals and layouts.

You can in no way convince me that the Tibbitt era looked better.

>>150124724
I don't even particularly care for the Waller era but anyone claiming it's worse than the Tibbit era is just flat out wrong lmao. The Tibbit era sucked fucking dog dick visually, everything just looks gross and uncanny.

>>150124768
Krusty Towers is kino.

>>150124807
A single unusually good episode does not an era make. Trilogy of Error is an unusually good Simpsons episode from Season 12, it doesn't mean the Al Jean era is good.

>The moment you decided it was time to stop watching SpongeBob
The one where everyone turns into zombie burgers in Bikini Bottom except SpongeBob has disgusted me ever since. Even Squidward does, even though he primarily hates Krabby Patties, which makes no sense to me. A literally stupid episode where SpongeBob is the hero once again.

>>150124724
Waller also ruined SpongeBob completely beyond recognition. I'm not saying Tibbit was better and he made a lot of mistakes, but at least Tibbit didn't force us with those heel fetishes that Waller does. Waller went to a new level of disgusting. Besides, Plankton Movie is definitive proof that it worked better than Waller's episodes, because there weren't those fetishes and that rip-off Ren and Stimpy shit and the heavy repetition of characters.

>>150125945
I fucking hate how after the movie all of the fish characters just have regular hands all of a sudden. In the original seasons characters only had those if they were absolutely necessary for a scene or for comedic effect. It looks so fucking off.

>>150124807
Seasons 4-5 weren’t that bad because they basically consisted of holdover ideas from the first two seasons, that and Paul Tibbitt probably tried harder while producing those cause he was a new showrunner at the time. Kinda like how seasons 11-12 were pretty good when Waller was a new showrunner.

>>150126250
>because they basically consisted of holdover ideas from the first two seasons
This is a myth, the second half of season 4 is extremely forgettable, and season 5 is just straight up ass.

>>150123878
He refused to compose a song because Viacom insisted on owning it.

>>150122488 (OP)
When Truth or Square lied to me about it's entire marketing

>>150126280
I'd heard that he joined the production too late to because he jumped on last second since his kids liked spongebob and they literally didn't have time for him to write a song.

>>150126137
NuBob doesn’t include fetish shit, you’re just a brainrotted dumbfuck. Gross out stuff like what you provided is just Ren & Stimpy type humor, Waller literally got his start working on R&S. Deviantart ruined a generation cause now tards like you see every form of cartoonish or gross out humor as a fetish.

You’re also acting as if the Tibbitt era didn’t have episodes that gave off fetish vibes like Squid Baby. Also modern SpongeBobs movies suck, I will give you that, probably cause Waller ain’t involved with them.

>>150126365

There’s this ongoing joke in the Spumtwitter community that Waller has a diaper/scat fetish and they often nickname him "Mr. Huggies"

If Waller really was inserting his fetishes into the show we’d see hundreds of scat episodes

>>150126496
Gross!

The difference between Ren and Stimpy and SpongeBob is that Ren and Stimpy was a parody of the modern and postmodern world and was intentionally shown to be horrible, while SpongeBob is not. Yes, there are moments when they show certain things up close that are like "disgusting", but that was it, since Wallet came after Hillenburg left then SpongeBob turned into a rip-off of Ren and Stimpy, especially when Tibbit left. It's just not SpongeBob anymore and it's not funny. Although I admit that the second half of season 9 was better than the first half, but from season 10 that decline began and it's no longer the SpongeBob I know. There are always some fetish references in almost every episode.

When you defend those abominations that are being promoted, I can only think whose madhouse you came from. Especially from fans of John K. and his successors. Disgusting in itself!

My interest definitely waned around the fifth season and I completely have up on the seventh. Came back to it with Sponge Out of Water but since The Nitwitting, I stopped regularly watching.

The 4th season immediately felt off and I jumped ship somewhere around the middle of that.

>>150127120
Hillenburg

>>150126337
Every SpongeBob era always felt heavily derived from what the showrunner previously worked on:

Seasons 1-3 felt derived from Rocko cause that’s what Hillenburg previously worked on

Seasons 4-9 felt derived from CatDog cause that’s what Tibbitt previously worked on

Seasons 11-now feel derived from Ren & Stimpy/Spumco cause that’s what Waller previously worked on

>>150127120
>Hillenburg will have been dead for seven years come November

>>150122808
i was long since stopped watching when I happened to catch this and was like what the fuck and first really noticed it looking so far different from what it had
the atlantis one was when I stopped watching primarily

>>150122533
Like season 5 around that ballpark.

>>150128152
Having never seen past season 3, I've been going through the series and just got about halfway into season 4 and you are absolutely right. Season 3 has some off episodes (I'm not crazy about Nasty Patty or the invisible paint ep) but 4 is pretty meh so far. A lot of it is in the timing, there's no chance to breathe and let jokes settle because they're already onto the next thing happening. Not to mention Tom Kenny is fully into the high pitched "excited" voice for everything now and not just to punctuate excited moments. Krusty Towers is probably the best one so far but I'd say it would be a middle of the road Season 2 episode

I stopped watching it after the movie, pretty much just because I was getting older and doing other shit and also because the newer episodes weren't as good.

>>150128152
>>150128333
I tried giving season 4 another chance after years earlier this year because of that upsurge of "season 4 was fine actually" posting, watched it all the way through. The first part feels off but is mostly just kind of dull, and yeah Krusty Towers is a clear standout but it's just a sort of middling episode compared to the golden age. The second half of season 4 is fucking BORING and full of episodes I forgot even existed.

>>150122783
I could have sworn that was like season 8, but no, that was the same season as the claw machine episode.

>>150122488 (OP)
S1

>>150129592
what was the point of this?

Can anyone articulate how it is that the original episodes of Spongebob, despite often having outlandish and wacky plots like Doodlebob or the Alaskan Bull Worm, still somehow felt grounded compared to the post-movie episodes? Because I'm struggling to properly figure out why it is that those kinds of plots worked in the older seasons but feel so fucking weird in the newer ones. Like I'm convinced that if Doodlebob came out in the Tibbit era it would have fucking sucked even if it used the same general premise.

>>150129760
cheap shock horror out of ren & stimpy or billy & mandy

>>150122488 (OP)
Krusty Towers ep that came out after KCA (2006 so I was 9 at the time). Just realized the writing was a lot more obnoxious and spazzy and stopped watching from then on.

>>150129820
that was a post movie season

>>150129760
The actual situations aren't nearly as clever and they tend to rely too much on visual humor rather than clever dialogue or unexpected punchlines, and also the timing across the board is just off. That scene where Patrick turned into a bunch of bowling pins and scored two strikes just wouldn't have happened in the Tibbit era, it would have been Patrick getting brutally hit in the face with the bowling ball before falling over. And he wouldn't have shouted "Finland!" after being asked if he was ok, it would have just been a grossout shot of his bruised face where he says either yes or no.

>>150123782
Holy shit, this is exactly the same point I dropped Sponge. The post-movie seasons were hit or miss but Dunces and Dragons was a one of the biggest highlights of that time period so I always at least expected the writers to lock-in for the specials. This really cemented that nobody working on that show gave a fuck anymore.

What a dumpster fire.

>>150129760
It's how the characters acted. Everything just had a more natural flow to it.

Keep in mind that the scene on the right was considered dangerously hyperactive for its time, and that parents forbade their children from watching this show for that reason.
What we have now is REALLY unnatural in feel.

>>150122559
>>150122601
The first movie is literally peak spongebob fucking kill yourselves

>>150130356
I've discussed this a lot in regards to futurama but something that was lost in the transition from the fox seasons to cc and beyond and somewhat relevant in this case is the sort of reigned in pacing and timing and subtlety
like in fox futurama you'd have much slower paced jokes and moments with silence and shit
give things a chance to breath
spongebob always handled it a bit differently than that by virtue of being a kids cartoon, but I think it's somewhat similar there

>>150130356
Its like jiggling a set of keys in front of an IPad kid, a pathetic attempt to get their attention.

I know that Season 4 isn't generally considered the worst, but Best Day Ever was the conclusive point when the series lost its classic zany Nicktoons vibe and became a generic vehicle to sell backpacks and CDs at Walmart. The marketing around this episode was massive, unbearably annoying, and totally embarrassing. Even as a kid, I remember thinking "OK, that's enough of this show" when I first heard the fucking song.

>>150128235
It's because of things like this that I can't take seriously people who associate Season 4 with the classic era. Hillenburg said in an interview that he left the show to Tibbitt in part because he believed the show, over time, needed new blood.

Desu season 4 is basically the point where the show stopped feeling like something that was made for everyone even if it was focused on kids. Like I used to watch the original three seasons with my fucking parents and they found them hysterical, season 4 has like no real adult appeal and after that it just got even worse.

>>150131035
Spongebob had a lot of nothingburger, shitty specials advertised as something spectacular and a must-see. Truth or Square, Atlantis Squarepantis, Best Day Ever, Spongebob's Last Stand, Spongebob vs The Big One, ect.

>>150131115
Stuff like Atlantis Squarepantis, Pest of the West, and Truth or Square at least had grand, different takes on the typical Spongebob formula which could theoretically warrant a special episode. Stuff like Best Day Ever and Whobob Whatpants are absolutely no different from any other Spongebob plot and basically just exist to shill DVDs.

>>150131115
I remember there was one episode about him getting fired that was hyped to no end. They ended up talking about spongebob getting fired on fucking cable news as if it was going to be a permanent thing going forwards. Even as a kid I thought that was absolutely pathetic.

>>150131291
Yeah even the Patchy specials did something different with them, those specials really have no reason to be specials at all.

>>150131103
They don't seem to realize that season 4 got its reputation for a reason.

>>150122488 (OP)
I think its the same thing with Simpsons and Pokemon to me: The movie was the finale.

>>150131035
IMO, The Best Day Ever is SpongeBobs equivalent to The Principal and The Pauper in the sense that it’s not an awful episode, but along with the reasons you mentioned, every episode after it gradually felt less and less like SpongeBob, the show gradually began to lose it’s classic charm.

Sure the series had picked itself up a few times, seasons 10-11 and Sponge Out Of Water were enjoyable, The Patrick Star Show could be funny, but the point is less about the quality and more about how it just doesn’t feel like SpongeBob anymore. Even the best Waller era episodes are missing that classic flare that made the golden age episodes so enjoyable in the first place.

God I wish that was me.

>>150129714
Tibbitt era was weirdly disgusting for no reason.

Ugh. I don't know who made New Kelp City but whoever it was loved forcing their ugly incidental designs into a lot of scenes in Bikini Bottom.
I can't believe you have to wait until season 6 for the toenail scene.

>>150122531
This.
No matter how sloppy it got I simply had to stop sitting in front of the TV to stop watching.

Though I didn't see it going worse.

>>150122533
Fungus Amongus. Season 5.
It's a bit like the "Spongebob gets sick" episodes. It's fine for a season 5 episode... season 5 is bad.

>>150122808
Which season? Never saw it, always thought it was some Graggle edit.

>>150125922
That episode was weird.
As a child I couldn't understand why all these new characters were telling me they were frauds or why they weren't actually a part of the episode as characters.

>>150129883
>it would have just been a grossout shot of his bruised face where he says either yes or no.
And all his teeth fall out and shatter on the sand. Or tooth. Is that the era where he has one tooth?

The Sponge who could Fly/Lost Episode has this feeling.

>>150130356
>>150131032
I don’t think ultraexpressive animation is a bad thing, newer SpongeBob is ran by Spumco members Bob Camp and Vincent Waller, it’s clear how derived the newer seasons animation style is from Ren & Stimpy, and I’ll admit the animations timing can be hit or miss but it’s probably the best-looking cartoon on right now desu.

The issue I feel is moreso at times it can feel like they prioritize the animation over the writing, sure the animation looks great and you can tell the animators have fun working on it but being style over substance is what alienates fans of the show, John K even said himself that substance is just as important as style.

>>150132825
>but it’s probably the best-looking cartoon on right now desu.
grim

>>150122488 (OP)
Somewhere in Season 7. Not sure which episode, but probably the first half of seven because episodes like A Pal for Gary, Inside Job, One Course Meal, etc rubbed me the wrong way and were just really stupid. And that was even before the annoying internet reviewers started bashing it. All I knew was that I was getting bored. There were bad episodes before that but they were at least trying. Around Season 7 they all start kind of blending together in a horrendous way. Last episode I kinda remember watching live was the Tiki Dreams one, which was actually not a bad episode.

Although I will say I have continued to peek in and out of the show every now and then over the years. There were a couple of good patches in Season 8/9 and 13/14, but there are so many sloppy or lazy episodes It's not fun to watch full-on.

>>150132938
>Tiki Dreams one
It was the best episode of season seven along with the episodes surrounding Squidward's new neighbor and Squidward's new girlfriend.

>>150125955
I fucking hated that toenail scene. What were they THINKING? How did that get past the censors? The show was rated Y7!

>>150128395
"New Leaf" is maybe the most boring episode of a cartoon I've ever seen. That dumb episode went out of its way to be NOT funny or entertaining.

>>150126987
Nah. That's not as bad as >>150122808. At least, not visually. I'm not going to speculate on the writing aspect.

>fall off around season 7 when it became clear the show was hopeless
>come back for season 9b when the animation stops being stiff and the writing substantially improved
>still stick around after season 10 started to make things more 'ren and stimpy' because it was interesting enough and i like spumco-esque animation
>fall off again around season 13 because the show started to feel too style over substance; expressive animation can only carry you so far

All the grossout scenes in nu Spongebob would be fine if they were funny, 90% of those scenes are however extremely unfunny.

>>150134699
Blame Robertryan Cory.

>>150134699
We call them Scumbob episodes

>>150137060
I miss Pieguy. I didn't always agree with him, and his takes weren't always good. but he was the most well spoken of all the SpongeBob critics.

>>150126987
>>150131687
This isn't real right? This is looks like some severely autistic sex pests OC that he poorly photoshops into screencaps of the show on deviantart

>>150137498
It's real and seems to be loosely based on Lil' Abner, which is weird because most people under 40 have no idea what that is anymore.

>>150122488 (OP)
I think that this is the first and maybe only episode that makes no attempts at jokes and humor, it's just nonstop gross out

>>150129760
Because OldBob was kinda slow paced, especially Season 1. The NuBob episodes jump from one joke to the next with zero pauses in between, while also being unfunny.

>>150122488 (OP)
>The moment you decided it was time to stop watching SpongeBob
This felt like such a fitting and enjoyable finale that watching anything past it seemed pointless to me. I never even found out the turn the show took for several years.

>>150124597
>>150124724
>>150124768
>>150136010
Funnily enough, as much as people hate on the gore from the Tibbitt seasons, I feel like Robertryan Corys art was one of the few visual highlights from them. These works would honestly look great as tattoos or t-shirts.

Honestly though his artwork looks a lot better in sketches, the Tibbitt era had an incredibly stiff artstyle and these drawings weren’t executed that well into the final show with their great linework being lost in translation.

His drawings probably would look better in the newer seasons since they have a more exaggerated and expressive artstyle.

>hey anon, the Ren n' Stimpy vibe was actually good
Yeah.....for Ren & Stimpy, not for fucking Spongebob. Everything post-1st movie sucks ass, even my dumbass teenage mind (14y at the time) knew as much and stopped watching it right there

>>150123809
I'm a filthy zoom too but even as a kid I noticed that the newest episodes after the movie weren't as enjoyable as the older ones. It's the same with the Simpsons. I still watched the newer episodes at the time, but I always preferred watching the older ones I had on dvd.

Remember when they recast Mama Krabs?

I think I stopped watching around middle school, so probably season 5 or 6.
Whichever was airing in 2007.

>>150137498
She's a character from Camp Coral who's now a regular on the main show.

>>150122488 (OP)
I can't remember the specific episode. It was around the time ATLA ended.

>>150130436
Yes and:
>it was clearly the peak, thus what came next would probably be worse
>staffing changes after the movie basically confirmed this
It's reasonable that someone who's not a kid or a superfan would assume it's not worth watching unless told otherwise by someone trusted.

Reminder that "Best Day Ever" song wasn't even created for that S4 episode. It was created for the movie, since it plays in the credits.

>>150123782
Yep, this one.

i remember there was a few weeks ago complain that one of the latest episode of spongebob they were all static and twitter all blamed on the people who were complaining about the overanimation while ignoring that all the complain was like this same example where it didn't need to overdo it while the right side of this vid is what they meant with toning down the oversued animation and le whacky meme faces

>>150142533
Post it

I was born when the show first aired and only remember seasons 1-4 from my childhood. If I saw later episodes I don't remember them.

>>150122488 (OP)
More like Scumbob

There's no possible way you think the clip on the left looks better than the clip on the right

>>150122488 (OP)
The Splinter

The Tibbet artstyle was so fucking ugly, you could always instantly tell when a character was made for that season. There wouldn't even be an attempt to make them blend in with the main cast. I have no idea what was on their minds.

In contrast, the recently released "A Fish Called Sandy" is one of the best Spongebob episodes visually. Damn heartbreaking they can't make that the standard. Anyone reading who hasn't seen it, the episode is worth watching for the visuals alone, and screenshots don't do it justice.

The episode was probably the best 2D animation visually on air this year.

>>150122808
You must have been barely watching the show

>>150146135
It felt like a very strange attempt at recreating the old style from out of nowhere, while still adhering to traits of the modern writing and visual humor.

>>150146745
>while still adhering to traits of the modern writing and visual humor.
Really? The episode felt much more toned down and relaxed than other episodes. The faces in this scene would've been far more exaggerated.

>>150122488 (OP)
LOL

>>150148650
for me it was because the premise and plot were so fundamentally retarded that the episode simply being canon makes the show's universe worse

>>150123782
Nick started to do this annoying thing where they would hype the fuck out of a new spongebob ep like something big was going to happen, only for it to just be a nothingburger ep, just to trick dumb kids into watching it. It's when the creativity and excitement from episode ideas and dynamics was replaced by, basically, clickbait (Spongebob and sandy are...GETTING MARRIED?)

>>150122601
YOU TAKE THAT FUCKING BACK RIGHT NOW THE FIRST SPONGEBOB MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!

This, underrated post, much like TPATP, Best Day Ever was also hit with tons of backlash from fans and I’m pretty sure that episode marked the exact moment where many fans began to notice SpongeBobs seasonal rot.

>>150131115
i remember the advertising for the shit episode where they're having false memories in the krusty crab vents being especially outlandish

I’ve literally never watched a single episode of Spongebob Squarepants in my life.

First three seasons and the movie were the ones to watch right?

>>150153788
Yup, season 1's slow and comfy and has sort of its own vibe while seasons 2 and 3 are more about fast-paced witty dialogue and bizarre situational humor.

>>150129760
outside of just having better execution in general, i'd say that it's because old spongebob has this inherently laidback atmosphere to it. it would come up with all this goofy shit but present it through more earthly colours, slower pacing, the hawaiian music, calmer character interactions etc

>>150153763
>SPONGEBOBS TRUTH OR SQUARE IS THE BEST THING YOU'LL EVER SEE IN YOUR LIFE, YOU HAVE TO SEE IT YOU JUST HAVE TO, WATCH OUR SHOW NOW

>>150153971
god, no wonder i was dissapointed as shit back then. borderline misadvertising

I never watched spongebob because it came out when I was in high school.

>>150142533
Please learn English

The movie is where SpongeBob ended. Everything after is just parading around a corpse.

>>150154039
English is pretty hard, senpai.

>>150150136
Patrick being a dick really did become a big problem

>>150154567
Wasn't it implied in one episode that he only pretends to be stupid to get what he wants?

>>150126337
>NuBob doesn’t include fetish shit

Yes it does, particularly muscle and feet. Doesn't help they hired actual muscle and foot fetish artists as well (Ian Vazquez and Kyle Morrison).

>>150154710
Kind of? That might've the card episode.
>You can't expect my usual brand of stupidity. Sometimes I gotta mix it up.
Spent the whole episode fucking with Spongebob

>>150154710
When?

Personally I didn't hate season 4 as much as most people did, heck even Season 5 was watchable. Season 6 tho is when I officially jumped ship with the gross out humor and it just didn't feel like a show I wanted to watch anymore

>>150155140
No offense but you fags on the internet are just too internet poisoned and look too deep into things, stinky feet is just standard cartoonish gross out humor. Autists getting aroused by it is just an unfortunate side affect that most of the people behind the shows ignore.

Not saying people inserting their fetishes into shows has never happened before, that Total Dramarama fart episode felt very blatant, but sometimes it’s okay to not to overanalyze, cause Deviantart fetishists basically jerk off to everything, if we excluded all shit that just so happened to be fetishes to them cartoons would be completely neutered.

Last I remember was Atlantis Squarepantis.

h

Really hope Mindy gets some lines.

>>150126137
God I wish this were me.

>>150155446
Those other female mermaids look so off compared to her.

>>150132825
the only thing modern spongebob has going for it imo is that its the only western kids cartoon that doesn't look like calarts/troon slop. I still think its way too overanimated for Spongebob of all things, but i'll give credit where its due. It's nice seeing lines of gesture being used in a 2025 kids show.

>>150129714
Shock value

>>150137795
This is an objectively incorrect and you deserved to get raped in the ass by Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen for this generic and dime-a-dozen ass take

>>150155140
tbf ugly feet have always been a gag in kids shows since the 90s. Also remember that scene in the Salty Spitoon ep where Spongebob broke his fingers and it was pretty grotesque?

>>150155530
Queen Amphitrite has appeared before.

>>150155624
The CGI lets it down. She looks much better 2D.

>>150137795
correct

>>150129820
Krusty towers is the one episode from the post movie era everyone unanimously agrees is kino and yet that's the one you decided to shit on for no reason I hate you you contrarian piece of shit

>>150137795
Ren and stimpy sucks ass

>>150155677
nope

>>150137273
You miss the man who did irreparable damage to the spongebob community and also called Have You Seen This Snail mediocre?

I was six when season 4 was first airing and I immediately could tell something was off with the episodes compared to before. I stuck around for a while but tuned out after season 6.

>>150155677
Die zoomer

>>150155446
>They're making Mindy daughter of Show-Neptune
Movie Neptune wasn't a bad character, they just needed to give him a different name than Neptune and I don't get why they didn't. The show even gives a decent excuse to call him Neptune if they have to since Krusty Towers introduced the idea of "King Neptune the XXth".

>>150155723
stop baiting zoomer.

>>150155847
Die of chemo cancer you fat boomer

I had a dream today and my brain made up a new season 1 episode.
>everything was hand drawn
>plot was that spongebob and patrick were getting their houses renovated and they had to find a new place to live
>they bombed all of their roommate interviews
>they make up a plan to crossdress and pretend to be women
>their interviews succeed
>flying dutchman shows up and calls them out
>everyone in the apartment complex chases them
>episode ends

>>150155865
You're also retarded because pieguy is a hack who caused nothing but collateral damage to the spongebob community

>>150155939
Was there a side plot about Spongebob getting ipad

>>150155953
No, He was around since 2008, Kamp Koral shit was 2021. He was more good than bad.

I was in fourth grade when this aired. Even as dumb 9 year olds me and my friends knew this was an awful episode.

>>150155996
He also pauses his review somewhere aroun dthe 15 minute mark to dicksuck Adventure time and ramble about it's non-existent qualities

>>150155997
Benthelooney went back to ranting? I thought he quit and starting drawing porn.

>>150122488 (OP)
I'm old enough that I stopped watching spongeBob right around the third season. To me, the first three seasons ARE spongebob, and those are now recognized as the best and true seasons.
This show is getting the simpsons treatment.

>>150146135
I've seen it before as the episode was leaked before it was released and boy it felt like classic SpongeBob had a minor comeback.

Screw AWE for saying this is nostalgia bait.

>>150156221
Awe is so fucking retarded and I'm glad that most people on this board hate him

>>150156344
"most" people on /co/ don't know him, retarded zoomer.

>>150156356
this

>>150156221
>This is nostalgia bait

Or maybe the show was trying to be artistically experimental and the crew wanted to have fun drawing them in the classic style you fucking retard

Honestly the only that would’ve made the episodes animation better is if they given the characters drop shadows to make it look like they’re cel animated

>>150156356
You're also a massive drooling retard with special needs because that guy gets mentioned in practically every spongebob thread now so I don't buy the "/co/ doesnt know him" crap

I kind of forgot about it after a point.

Even as a kid, before I knew what the seasons/timeline of production were, the pizza episode struck me as a little try-hard and I realized I'd outgrown that style of humor to a degree. I was watching non-shonen anime and R-rated movies by then.

this is the worst thread on /co/ right now

Season 4 by the way, I can't remember the exact episode but it really rubbed me wrong after the movie.

>>150157668
Easily the best post in the thread

>>150159374
yeah we should start getting mad at commies and unions like a good thread

>>150122531
I remember watching it when I was in 7th grade. Every morning I'd ask my friend "Did you see Spongebob this morning?" and we'd recite lines from it. I was done with it by the 8th grade. It wasn't intentional, either; I don't remember stopping liking it, I just stopped watching it, probably in favor of other programs.

The last one I can remember seeing was the one where they are in medieval times. I think this was around Season 4. I had Seasons 1 through 3 and the first half of Season 4 on DVD.

Even as someone who's an avid season 4 fan I can't help but agree with the consensus that things definitely start feeling off around that point especially towards the end with episodes like "The Thing" and "Squid Wood"

>>150159570
I can kind of understand people defending season 4 if they're talking about the first half, it's off-feeling and a notable step down but not outright bad. The second half is just downright bad though and feels like it was basically setting up the show for how bad it was going to become.

>>150159570
Hocus Pocus is another shitty episode that deserves more hate. Not only is it painfully unfunny, but the whole episode is pointless since we know Squidward isn't in any danger.

oh yeah, Patrick had a sister.

>>150159668
Patrick doesn't have a sister, he has a bank

>>150159688
a bank?

>>150155446
>>150155530
>>150155624
the eyes are all way different

I would like to know what was going through Tibbitt's mind when he approved these kinds of episodes.

>>150160512
shit I forgot about this one. This was a really awful one.

>>150122488 (OP)
>>150123782
Atlantis Squarepantis was one of the biggest TV disappointments I had as a kid, but I say my interest ended about season 6. At one point I stopped having cable but try to followed the show's latino dub through a fan website which hosted the episodes as they came out. However all of the gross-out and character torture episodes of the post movie era made me uncomfortable, it's just wasn't the classic Spongebob type of humour, the cast barely felt like friends anymore. In recent years I ocasionally tuned in Nick and the more recent episodes are either bland or trying too hard to be wacky like the Patrick Star Show. Haven't watched any of the recent movies though, but I heard they been mixed.

>>150124724
The thing I hate about Modern SpongeBob diehards isn't so much that they defend everything the new episodes do, but that they'll ONLY focus on going to bat for the latest SB episodes and at the same time ignore any other, newer Nicktoon, especially when it does a better job of balancing snappy visual humor with an actually coherent narrative. It's like these people have blinders on and believe SpongeBob is the only cartoon airing on Nick.

>>150160512
That episode was horrible, so horrible that my brain forced itself to forget it. Fuck you for reminding me FUCK YOU FUCK YOUUUUU

Reading this thread is genuinely making me feel bad for younger people that grew up tuning into a new Spongebob episode and would just get fucking putrid garbage. Like shit man, not every episode from seasons 1 - 3 was gold, but at least you wouldn't be caught off guard with some genuinely nasty shit.

The one thing I like about new SpongeBob is the more Karen/Plankton focused episodes

>>150159668
An adopted sister.

>>150162881
Hottake: I actually think a character like Squidina would have worked on the dynamic of the early seasons but her retro-active inclusion into the lore just seems really forced, just like Narlene her pressence between shows is more about multimedia branding than creative potential.

>>150159634
I don't know, I didn't really hate HP, thought it was decent, especially at the beginning

I thought fear of the krabby patty was pretty good

>>150122808
the fuck is this? he's a mammal why doesn't he have a helmet like sandy?

I want to point out this faggot has posted on /co/ before and was given negative reception for his ugly art. This is either him trying to gaslight or someone also aware of this and trying to be an enormous faggot.

This. I don't even hate new Spongebob, I just kind of stopped watching it.

>>150163223
to be fair, that expression he's making seems like he's holding his breath but i don't feel like double checking because i remember really hating that episode

Shitty Anais-type character. What is this godawful archetype. And the glasses gives it that extra shitty Eileen flair.

>>150160512
This guy is completely fine in the right contexts, like when he was doing surreal horror in Gravity Falls. I think he even said he designed the pink henchman girl of Bill's with /co/ in mind and even dropped in during finale threads saying as much. But I have no fucking idea why he got hired on to do this shit in Spongebob. It's not a him-problem, it's whoever thought the show needed that in the first place which I guess was Tibbitt.

>>150163223
he's a celebrity as a cat who can hold his breath for a very long time. then spongebob learns he has an air tank stuffed into his back and is a liar. shitty "don't meet your heroes" episode where the hero is some previously non-existent entity that spongebob and patrick obssess over like 5 year olds

>>150163471
All I remember was him popping into a gravity falls finale-era thread and reactions were happy about the pink girl. Do you know if his other time coming on /co/ or the negative reactions are archived?

>>150129592
The only Spongebob episode that actually freaked me out as a kid.
Anytime Patrick Smartpants came on I'd change the channe cuz I knew what was coming after it.
Still gives kinda me the jibblies.

>>150163653
I'm sure it is, it was another Spongebob episode. He referred to himself by name and posted some production sketches that didn't exist anywhere else. He got irate because people told him to his face that his art direction wasn't very good, and his presence signaled the era of "bad Spongebob."

>>150137273
Ah yes, the guy who literally created one of the biggest lies of animation history by claiming Nick waited for Stephen Hillenburg to die when in actuality, that wasn't the case. All of this, which did permanent damage to the Spongebob fandom and also got several people who worked on the show to get bullied and harassed by the fans.

>>150122488 (OP)
Gradually stopped watching around Truth or Square, completely stopped whenever the show went fully to 16:9. Dont know what season.

Although it sucked that they wouldn't stop spamming that stupid great divide episode.

man that's crazy, I forgot about that, but you're right. SpongeBob being considered overly hyper active for kids.

>>150168468

cause of all the soulless merchandise, not cause of the actual show. Avatar will be remembered for its solid storytelling and characters.

Like what other show has a licensed rectal thermometer

>>150168572
Probably evangelion

For me it's...

The karate island episode was when I thought the show was just getting shittier and shittier. I basically tap out after season 2 but even 3 has a few good ones.

>>150131687
That girl was kinda hot.

>>150168872

>>150122559
Same Ithink, now that you mention it., but it also sort of intercalates with what >>150122531 said. By then I had already grown out of it.

After the sequel

>>150169432
same, i saw S4 out of order and that was one of the last episodes i ended up watching, i realised i'd just lost interest in the show and didn't find it nearly as funny or enjoyable than the previous seasons, it was the first episode i distinctly remember flat-out disliking. i think i was only 8 or 9 at the time as well.

>>150169432
They removed the Pat Morita credits.

>>150167781
100% agreed. Maybe it'll happen, given the Plankton movie

>>150162859
This. And I love that they did episodes focusing on Plankton and Squidward. Too bad there's not more of that.

>>150162859
>>150174686
>>150174765
Of all the SpongeBob characters, Plankton's the only one who's character remained consistent throughout the whole show free from flanderization. Which is most likely due to the fact that unlike the other main characters, Plankton is voiced by one of the writers who's written since the OG seasons.

>>150171363

>>150123782
Yeah this is what made me accept Spongebob was not the same show anymore

>>150169432
I watched the top 100 episode countdown thing as a kid and I was so baffled Karate Island was #1. I still don’t know what the deal with that was.

>>150176172
props to them for the kill bill reference at least

Any post-movie episodes anyone enjoys? I actually rewatched "Selling Out" and found the Krabby O'Mondays kind of funny. Maybe because it had a cynical approach. I also enjoyed Krusty Towers.
Episodes I enjoy are quite rare compared to episodes I just don't care for or actually dislike.

>>150146745
I think they did it because fan outcry and there was trends online where people would draw new SpongeBob screenshots with the older style. So the crew probably saw that and said: "why don't we give a crack at it" and decided to do something different that would ALSO get attention.

>>150168572
Anon, those are for the mouth. Some thermometers of that shape are for the mouthz

>>150162714
Even though Wylde Pak debuted with one foot in the grave already thanks to Nick holding off on releasing it for so long, I'd like for more people to at least know of and appreciate the one season we WILL have. I'm seriously impressed by how well-rounded it is, emotionally and comedically.

Eh these are kind of gross but nothing compared to the straight up body horror muscle exposure shit later episodes had. Rotten food is bad but it's not oozing pus-filled wounds or characters having their skin ripped off to show their detailed musculature underneath. The first one isn't even really that gross as a depiction of rotten food.

>>150180788
Honestly this feels like a very well-thought out thread IMO, many people forget how expressive the OG seasons were, like I've seen people perfectly replicate season ones cel-animated look with technology and shit and, while impressive, they manage to make everything incredibly on-model and forget the fact that the first season had plenty of loose and expressive drawings.

Criticize NuBobs writing all you want but I respect the animation for actually giving artistic freedom to animators rather than making it on-model beanmouth slop like literally every other cartoon on right now does.

>>150122488 (OP)
You know Spongebob had a lot of episodes and seasons.

Stop lying.

>>150181126
Anon, I think everyone's in agreement that the new episodes are some of the most visually impressive cartooning on television today. Doesn't make the writing any less garbage. Cool visuals can only take you so far.

>>150186638
The 2010's had some good examples on how to do wacky and expressive cartoons correctly, like those Paul Rudish Mickey shorts and Wander Over Yonder, those shows were pretty funny and well-written while having great cartooning visible, why don't they just hire writers from those?

>>150122488 (OP)
That's my fetish

>>150186980
I like you. You can recognize slapstick cartooning done well. Modern SpongeBob is just so LOUD all the time. Nothing feels balanced or expertly timed like the cartoons you mentioned. There's no restraint with Waller and his bunch.

Truth or Square.

That last one was an insult that I never experienced before. I was in middle school so Spingebob was something to throw on before or after school. But after that? Fuck Spongebob.

>>150178925

>>150188565
Thank you.

>>150178925
Planktons?

>>150180969
Yeah, i get what he's going for and it is by far the most measured defense of modern spongebob I've seen
But just because the og storyboards were a bit more exaggerated and pronounced doesn't change the fact that the less exaggerated outcome was what worked way back when and doesn't inherently validate the stylization we see now
also I just don't believe they aren't going for meme attention
simpsons and fg does it too, every season they try at least a few times to make something memey enough for tiktok, trying hard to get those "OH [show] IS ACTUALLY GOOD AGAIN!?!?!?!?" posts

>>>150122808
I always thought Kenny was some sort of failed experiment on doing new staple characters that's not by one of the lead artists of the show

>>150123782
Sandy's musical bit was fun.
Anyways, this and Truth or Square were obvious promotions for the video games.
Gotta have something to sell the brand if the ratings aren't doing great.

>>150155530
You'll upset the EverythingIsCanon autists when you point that out.

>>150190549
I feel like the idea that modern SpongeBob makes faces for the memes is only slightly true. You can tell most artists are trying moreso to aim for that Spumco look, but there are some occasional moments boarded by younger artists that give off "face made to be reaction image" vibe.

That only just feels like a side effect of having an artist driven show where the people behind it are given a lot of creative freedom, real meme faces would slide through the cracks.

>>150126337
This is wrong, but even when they do it, it's for gag sake, not wrapped EPI/EFI.
For example, a little kid and some facebook boomer isn't gonna realize >>150191339 is a safe projectile hyperscat joke.
The fetish is already crudely bonkers, so they'll be too busy laughing at this one moment before they use social media at 18 to know what it was.

>>150191929
It's because it gets the conversation going. It spreads the image of SpongeBob. Like how advertising is just about reminding you [product] exists. I’m sure the artists are having genuine fun too. But there is something about how the marketing of SpongeBob meme faces like chicken spongebob or shows like Gumball really push for faces because it's something people enjoy. But for many, there's a threshold that becomes too much over-reliance on the joke being
>funny face

Pretty lengthy thread. You guys sure are passionate about this yellow sea sponge

>>150171363
This fight was the first time I jacked off to Sandy.

>>150194246
SpongeBob was a show made with a lot of heart and skill. The early seasons are the best the series has to offer. Peak after peak.

>>150158375

Just like literally every piece of media - the moment to stop watching/playing/reading is when the person who made the thing stops working on it. In this case everything after the movie is shit by definition

>>150122488 (OP)
has plankton tried to get Mr. Krabs cancelled yet?

>>150129760
Early Spongebob has a very relaxed, low intensity pace despite a lot of surreal visual humor. Also Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward became hyperFlanderized after season 5

>>150162859
Karen is my favorite (zombie era) spongebob character

>>150195248
I am irrationally bothered that bound girls are mixed together with amputees. How are the ones on the right gonna walk?

>>150195406
I don't know it's just the weirdest image of Karen I have and I have no idea why it exists but it makes me laugh

>>150163751
They look like the yearn for death.
Sandy is having a seizure
Mr Crabs is exhaling his last gasp
Mrs Puff looks dead or closing to
Pearl looks like she is already gone
Patrick is barely hanging in there
Spongebob looks like he is losing his will to live

>>150178187
First time seeing a cronenberg monster kiddo?

>>150191236
NO

>>150195771
I loved scary stuff as a kid, but there was this one ending that really threw me off. I remember being 11, sitting at the table with a huge bowl of Apple Jacks, watching Nicktoons reruns in the morning. Then that episode came on. It was off-putting that I actually had a nightmare about the characters being stuck forever in that blob of flesh. After that, I didn’t touch SpongeBob or even Nick as a whole for a while. I stuck with Disney and Cartoon Network instead.

Right around the time every episode became about Squidward being tortured/humiliated.

When you think about it. Spongebob isn't Spongebob without his Spongebobs.

>>150122531
Yeah, think I stopped watching it when I was 12.

>>150129592
>>150195771
I still can't believe something this gnarly exists in Spongebob. It reminds me of that one TMNT episode where Baxter Stockman makes himself a new body only for it to fall apart, so he tries keeping it together using nail guns and stitching. He's the definition of a body modification fetish

Schizo post.

>>150196737
>that shitty stiff post-movie pre-sequel SB box model
Worst of all is I'm pretty sure that was mostly Aaron Springer's doing

>>150197311
Apparently this episode didn't air on Kids WB in America but it must have aired on the Cartoon Network run because I clearly remember seeing it as a kid and being shocked at how grizzly it was.

>>150195248
What do you think about the old Karen?

>>150195771
I love some good Cronenberg body horror.

were any of the specials anything, uh, special? the grown up episode of the rugrats was genuinely hyped by everyone and was one of the most viewed things nickelodeon has ever aired.

>>150126987
What animals are these even supposed to be? They look like NPCs from a water level in spyro the dragon.

I’m just here to post these weird videos from YouTube.

>>150156221
i personally agree with him on most issues regarding modern spongebob but i will concede that him shitting on that episode just felt like he wanted to hate for the sake of hating

>>150177062
oh, that individual.
i miss when weirdos like that were rightfully mocked. you have to be positive and wholesome to everything and everyone now. the dedication is admirable but that's all i can really give that person, they're fucking weird. and it's not exactly a good kind of weird.

>>150196045
Mine was for a different episode, but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who had a nightmare and gave up the channel for a while.

>>150202727
>you have to be positive and wholesome to everything and everyone now
that's kinda been going away for a little while now

>>150195406
Anon, those aren't amputees, they've just had their arms and legs bent back when they were bound and now have to walk on elbows and knees to force a puppy/kitty style movement.

What is the worst season?

>>150204104
6

>>150202934
And the people who believed in that shit didn't even mean it.

>>150205210
Just for the right targets

>>150201199
This show is actually way better than I thought it'd be

>>150202001
when do they bacon?

>>150206394
Yes, it is.
But Nick seemingly doesn't realize what a gem they have there.

>>150207570
Didn't the creators want just the one season though? It's another one of those "takes place over the course of one summer" types of premises.

>>150208432
Kinda yes, but that doesn't mean that they couldn't write a continuation of the story (How long is Phinea's and Ferb's summer vacation already?) and it doesn't explain Nick's airing schedule.
But even one season with a good ending is better than a season with a cliffhanger.

>>150208508
It's also better than having the whole season shadowdropped on Prime Video New Year's Eve.

>>150208958
What is this?

>>150207570

Did you notice Squidware torture before e-celebs made it popular to hate?

That episode is still the worst. It went more above and beyond than any other episode it was nothing but a pure conga line of random shit happening just to torture him
>Is helpless the whole way through
>Can hear his muffled crying and pain the whole time
>Gary suddenly hates him and attacks him in his helpless form
>SpongeBob mentions Squidwards the only person he does that to even though that's not the first time Gary and Squidward have interacted (I guess it would make sense with the context of I Was a Teenage Gary but SpongeBob has never had explicit continuity and even then Garys never depicted being a savage up until that point)
>The random vicious clam that's in the animal control van for no reason and mauls him the whole ride
I actually think a lot of Squidward torture episodes get overblown and can even be funny but The Thing is one that actually makes me uncomfortable and Mr Enter is a retard for thinking it didn't deserve to go on his list back in 2014

First episode that felt off to me was the one where Mr. Krabs started a theme park or something behind the Krusty Krab that was really shitty. That one and the one where he started a hotel.
