*Theory FAQs!* *Q:* Why do you use facial features as evidence if the Atlanteans have augmented bodies? *A:* While the Atlanteans have augmented bodies, they also seem to have their original faces. Their faces have a different skin color than the rest of their bodies, their eyes seem natural, and the fact that the Atlanteans eat suggests their mouths are also natural. *Q:* Doesn't everyone call Squidward (including himself) an Octopus? *A:* That could be because Squidward's species forgot where they came from, and everyone just started calling Squidward's species Octopuses because that's what they looked most like. That's also why Squidward and his species look so different from the other octopuses we see in the show.
These aren't Faqs..these are excuses to the holes people have poked in your "theory." You really do suck at what you do and have a complete lack of experience/skill. You do realize there is more to being successful as a UA-camr than just filming yourself spewing thoughts you quickly jotted down on a subject right? There is a lot required to be an entertainer and/or instructor in each medium. It's not something you just do. It's like any other specialized industry of work. sorry to burst your bubble (see what I did there?) but if you don't like being told you are wrong, this is not the career for you until you improve your work.
@@TravisWilson-r3w no Sandy would’ve known about it too. honestly, I’m pretty shocked that they didn’t weave her research into this somehow. also, Mr. crabs should have known about it too because I’m sure that was a valuable artifact and he is super dialed in when it comes to stuff like that.
ngl this actually makes the Band Geeks episode even better because Squidward achieves his dream/goal by opening up to everyone, and surpasses Squilliam who could be seen as the negative aspects of "Squidwards people"
Is even more mind blowing that Squidward feels that there is something that makes him unique compared to others. Neither he know is that the biggest problem in his life (Spongebob, patrick and the others) is what makes him unique. He is the one who truly have friends that aren't "squidwards" and that respects him and loves him in their own way
Squidward and spongebob do have a love hate relationship. But you cant really deny that they are somewhat friends since squidward at some point cared for spongebob especially in the episode where they delivered pizza together.
Sixth comment, just leave this video haha. Your giving this video to get more popular adding more addition comments just because your offended for some reason that someone had a theory.
The strangest aspect of Tentacle Acres is that neither Squidward nor any of the other residents painted once during that episode. Squidward was definitely enamored by the segregated community’s predilection for obscure food items, interpretive dance, biking, and playing the clarinet. But he ultimately forgot what made his life special: art. He went to school for it. Perhaps most of the squids look down on art, in opposition to their heritage.
Their people, in rejecting the ways of their ancestors, disconnected themselves from any arts that elevated things beside themselves. Artistic expressions that glorified the self were sought after, but their divorce from divinity left their efforts hollow and doomed to mediocrity.
@@DISTurbedwaffle918 A people that once strove so far as to modify themselves to become like the ones they worship split off into two factions, one of which that became so predisposed with the self that they forgot what truly mattered in the world around them.
me before watching: hmm might be kind of a stretch, but it looks interesting. me 3 minutes in: this is the most correct spongebob theory ever. he's absolutely right.
just finished it. genuinely i hope this gets more views and becomes one of the most popular spongebob theories up there with "skin theory". this feels basically canon.
Another point of connection too the Atlanteans and Squidward's species is just how quickly both parties completely loose their cool when something annoys them. Before someone says it, popping the Atlanteans most prized cultural artifact is *ABSOLUTELY* worth being pissed off about and honestly who wouldn't feel intense anger if something like that happened; the point I'm trying to make is before the bubble popped the Atlanteans were shown to have a reasonable grasp on their anger, just enough to talk things out before resorting too violence, but they still have a short temper. Now look at Squidward's people, one of their defining characteristics as a people is their short temper; the character traits of certain types of species in Spongebob have remained fairly consistent over the years, sponges find joy everywhere they go, starfishes are just kind of dumb, crabs are some level of greedy, and the regular fish are just not all there in the head, and the Atlanteans and Squidward's species both share a trait, having a short temper. So, yeah. =P
I must say your SpongeBob theories are genuinely decent, no clickbait, no bullshit that goes over your head or some kind of idea that the writers probably never thought about
As someone who studies Christian theology and ancient Near Eastern religions, I was impressed by your arguments in this video. I particularly enjoyed the part about the schism between the pro-Bubble Atlanteans and the anti-Bubble Atlanteans. The part where you analyzed the physiology of squids and octopuses was also enjoyable.
I must admit, squidward did give me the feeling that he looked quite a lot like the arlanteans when I first watched the special. And though everyone was pretty much having a good time, squidward getting a compliment from his art from someone not spongebob is *a lot* more notable now that you bring it up.
now this is what i called a "good theory". a good theory doesnt need like solid proof or whatever it has to have interesting connection and also obsecure and not obvious enough.
I always really liked Atlantis SquarePantis, never understood why it gets so much hate. I love how it pays homage to Greek mythos and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I also quite like the songs, the art style changes, and DAVID BOWIE. This episode is so much better than people give it credit for.
Also in the episode naughty nautical neighbours, squidward blows a bubble to send a secret message to make Patrick and SpongeBob to hate each-other. The shape of the bubble he blows is the same shape as the oldest bubble, plus making bubbles is in his genes so he inadvertently blows that shape.
@@TravisWilson-r3w uhh, okay.. just my visual opinion. Not lying about, if you don’t agree then you don’t agree. I’m not lying about anything 😂😂 have a good day
So….. Atlanteans and Squidward’s species are analogous to Romans and Italians respectively? Or perhaps, Vulcans and Romulans? Also, as a kid, when Squidward said “genes” I thought he meant “jeans” as in pants
@@Squirreled_Studio there was probably others besides us, I know when I got older and learned what genes were, it made way more sense. Little was wondering to himself “but he doesn’t wear pants…”
this is shockingly convincing and im now accepting it as canon tbh. i wanted to add that maybe another explanation for the changes in appearence between atlanteans and "squidwards" could be evolution. After being left in the ocean without the aid of technology their bodies couldve adopted a morphology that facilitates subaquatic life (referring to the tentacles). But the religious explanation is also very possible
I’m going to point out that they could very well have tentacles as they are wearing gloves and shoes to cover up their hands and feet. Following SpongeBob’s cartoon logic, these could actually look like humanoid limbs while actually being tentacles.
i think it's more likely that the atlanteans' descendants just evolved to have tentacles rather than fingered limbs. at 3:27, you can see they clearly have regular hands and such, so the same probably goes for their legs as well.
I'm actually with you on _both_ points. One does not exclude the other: An "inofficial retcon" makes this a plausibility. The connection to the Atlanteans just works a bit too well to be a mere coincidence. At the very beginning of the show, Squidward's race was probably an intentionally vague. However, the creator Stephen Hillenburg was a marine biologist, so an _unintentional_ mixup is unlikely. How Squidward is neither squid nor octopus was well pointed out in this video. I never even thought much about how there are actually both of these species in this show.
This guy needs more subs. I was watching this and the video about Patrick being a villain, paid as much attention as I do the channels I watch daily. Great concept, details and delivery. Well, looks like I have more content to binge. Lol.
The fact that there are Squidward-like statues close to the war elephant in the ancient Atlantis paintings 7:51 as some kind of worshipping kinda proves all of this to me
What a depressing ending 😞 That is the one thing we can have going for the SpongeBob storyline that could actually be a huge thing if followed up. But it sucks how it's just an episodic plot. Poor Squidward. Mind blowing video theory btw. Awesome research 👏 Ps. Quick! Someone write a fix it fanfic I'm begging-
While this makes sense I'd postulate a different possibility: Divergent evolution. I think rather than extreme degrees of body modification, it's more likely that the two species simply evolved separately-- likely due to differing environmental factors. And as for the bubble thing, it could be the exact opposite-- not that they were shunned for disliking the bubble, but that they dislike bubbles because they remind them (at their base evolutionary level) of a superior version of themselves.
SpongeBob and Patrick are like embodiments of Squidwards horrible life and eternal torment, he flat out doesn't deserve it and could grow if given the right chance but they ruin everything for him leaving him eternally damned at no fault of his own, somethings are his fault but that's within a world he's not meant for, of course he's going to be irritable and in the original at least, sometimes a jerk, it's a miracle he was only ever at worst a jerk with his life
@@danielloewen2857him standing up for SpongeBob with the pizza guy, making SpongeBob’s last day the best it could be when he thought he killed him, sleeping over even when he could have gotten away with it by lying, are all examples of squid wars caring about SpongeBob
Honestly even if it wasn’t full on modification, Squidward walks upright and it wouldn’tbe hard to assume that ancestors of his would see their tentacles fuse into actual legs. But I think you are right. The great disagreement about the bubble caused a splintering.
Fantastic video, I’m genuinely thinking Spongebob is one of the greatest shows of all time (maybe i’m late on that, idk). Which how much subtext there is in this series that *just so happens* to align with logical conclusions, I can’t help but feel it’s on purpose.
This video is really well done and well narrated! In my headcanon I've always thought that the octopuses in the show could've had a lot of history. They seems really different from the other species that are more animalistic. You forgot to mention the cephalopod lodge that doesn't looks like a sect or something esoteric, but a place where the cephalopods learn their traditions and rituals. In fact I've never felt that could've been a dangerous place for Squidward, he had a lot of respect and was one of the highest members. Tentacles Acres was a more modern version of Atlantis, the Cephalopod Lodge is more traditional. Also it's really strange that everyone of the octopuses likes the clarinet, interpretative dance and loves to paint themselves. The reason could be that are their traditions. About Squilliam, it seems the only one of their society that is so rich and recognized by everyone. I guess he had some sort of noble origins. As we could assume by his surname: Fancyson III. I can't believe that this guy became rich jus by himself. Surely is skilled, but he already had this wealth, he just become richer. Maybe his ancestor was a king that for some reasons was exiled or left Atlantis because he didn't agree with the actual leader. He knows about that and his rivalry with Squidward could be explained that he wanted to be treated as a king and our stubborn friend couldn't believe that or doesn't accept that. Maybe Squidward has noble origins too and is the only one that knows that, but no one would accept a self proclaimed king. And most of all a real king as Squilliam, as I already mentioned. Anyway he often likes to represent himself as a king. Well... anyway I think he could a good king! 😁 I imagine Squilliam more like king Julien from Madagascar! 😂
@@wildstarfish3786 in American English, it is usually pronounced like "skworld", being one syllable. Some people do pronounce it with two, like you said, as in "skwih relled" (in the majority of UK dialects and accents it is pronounced like that with two), but in my accent it's just one. It's dependent on how you speak, so for a lot of people the word "strengths" would be the longest monosyllabic word
@@TravisWilson-r3w I don’t agree with you opinion either, you say A lot of people are “religious” just for watching this. In turn does it make you religious commenting on sooooooo many of these.
Very fun video, Great theory, I can totally see the writers setting this up and having a good time with it, the ancient ones from the painting look way to much like the “ squids” But I think squidward is pretty happy surrounded by his friends he genuinely cares for, but doesn’t want to admit that.
I am usually very pessimistic about most online theories. Mostly because nowadays, people get too absorbed in "theory culture" to the point they start injecting science and logic that was very obviously NEVER intended. This is one of the rare theories where I think even if Stephen Hillenburg didn't intend it himself, someone in the writing team might have. I don't fully buy into it, but this an example of a theory that gets very interpretive without being too unrealistic and wanky.
I‘m looking at the time remaining in the video like damn bro you already convinced me in the first 5 min 😂 This seems pretty obvious looking back at it.
To add to this theory, look at the color of neptune and squidward. its very similar. I think the split was actually one of pride. The atlanteans in current times worship neptune while the squids worship themselves. The art they make is " in their gods image" while the squids make art in their own image. It's closer a relation to heaven and hell. The sin of pride being their downfall and atlantens giving up their earthly form to achieve something greater than themselves.
oh, and on bubble blowing being in his genes, it was only when he was finally able to put his pride aside (out of spite mind you), and blow a bubble that he finally was able to become a talented clarinet player.

You forgot to mention the cephalopod lodge that doesn't looks like a sect or something esoteric, but a place where the cephalopods learn their traditions and rituals.
In fact I've never felt that could've been a dangerous place for Squidward, he had a lot of respect and was one of the highest members.
Tentacles Acres was a more modern version of Atlantis, the Cephalopod Lodge is more traditional.
Also it's really strange that everyone of the octopuses likes the clarinet, interpretative dance and loves to paint themselves.
The reason could be that are their traditions.
About Squilliam, it seems the only one of their society that is so rich and recognized by everyone.
I guess he had some sort of noble origins. As we could assume by his surname: Fancyson III.
I can't believe that this guy became rich jus by himself.
Surely is skilled, but he already had this wealth, he just become richer.
Maybe his ancestor was a king that for some reasons was exiled or left Atlantis because he didn't agree with the actual leader.
He knows about that and his rivalry with Squidward could be explained that he wanted to be treated as a king and our stubborn friend couldn't believe that or doesn't accept that.
Maybe Squidward has noble origins too and is the only one that knows that, but no one would accept a self proclaimed king.
And most of all a real king as Squilliam, as I already mentioned.
Anyway he often likes to represent himself as a king.
Well... anyway I think he could a good king! 😁 I imagine Squilliam more like king Julien from Madagascar! 😂
I wish we could get an official answer from the creators about this theory
They did. They said squidward is a octopus but squidward sounds better than Octoward
you’re very underrated, this was a W theory btw great work!! ^^
Glad you think so!
I didn’t expect much but wow!! That’s a damn solid theory!
This is the best video in the sponge algorithm. Kudos
Almost makes me wish the series actually had consistent lore for this to matter.
Why does all of this guy's videos have to be so convincing...
Squidwards house looks more like the Atlantians than himself.
This is actually insane. Wow!
when a troll arguement gets too real
This went from amusingly silly, to convincingly depressing quite seamlessly
This is so weird it makes sense
Love that your channel name is the longest monosyllabic word in english (in american pronunciation of course)
it's not monosyllabic even in american english though relled is it's own syllable
@@wildstarfish3786 in American English, it is usually pronounced like "skworld", being one syllable. Some people do pronounce it with two, like you said, as in "skwih relled" (in the majority of UK dialects and accents it is pronounced like that with two), but in my accent it's just one. It's dependent on how you speak, so for a lot of people the word "strengths" would be the longest monosyllabic word
Can’t believe I’m this deeply invested in SpongeBob lore .
. i love your writing skills, this theory is pretty much fullproof
I have completely accepted this as Canon because of how well thought out it is and how much sense it makes.
Your acceptance isn't reality
Also it doesn't make sense just because you're religious
@@TravisWilson-r3w I don’t agree with you opinion either, you say A lot of people are “religious” just for watching this. In turn does it make you religious commenting on sooooooo many of these.
@@TravisWilson-r3w an neither is yours
@TravisWilson-r3w Yes it does. It makes perfect sense. And plus I'm not religious...
Id love to see more episodes of Squidward chilling with Atlantians
Though ngl his design is better
In the episode, "Patrick the game" Squidward says that he is an octopus. So yeah.
After watching some of your videos. 7/10 squidward voice
This is legit ingenous
Thanks!
rick and morty pfft, i love squidward atlantean theory now
This was a great video!! I can't wait to see more from you!
Thanks! I’m excited to make more for you.
Great job!
Squidward always look much weirder and humanoid than the other characters!
It explains him feeling different than the other fish!
Very fun video, Great theory, I can totally see the writers setting this up and having a good time with it, the ancient ones from the painting look way to much like the “ squids” But I think squidward is pretty happy surrounded by his friends he genuinely cares for, but doesn’t want to admit that.
The wealthy non-Squidwards are also completely unscrupulous while Squidwards species like to preserve their culture and unity
That's a brilliant theory! Love it!
Keep posting these types of videos with those thumbnails. You gonna blowup 💪🔥
I love this theory!!
WOW!!!
This theory has blown me away!
This Confirms the Squidward director theory by Alex Bale
I am usually very pessimistic about most online theories. Mostly because nowadays, people get too absorbed in "theory culture" to the point they start injecting science and logic that was very obviously NEVER intended.
This is one of the rare theories where I think even if Stephen Hillenburg didn't intend it himself, someone in the writing team might have. I don't fully buy into it, but this an example of a theory that gets very interpretive without being too unrealistic and wanky.
I‘m looking at the time remaining in the video like damn bro you already convinced me in the first 5 min 😂
This seems pretty obvious looking back at it.
Squidward is an octopus.The creators have said he's an octopus, and Squidward has said this on a couple of occasions as well.
This is an absolutely amazing theory.
This makes too much sense. This feels right.
Wow, awesome theory!
To add to this theory, look at the color of neptune and squidward. its very similar. I think the split was actually one of pride. The atlanteans in current times worship neptune while the squids worship themselves. The art they make is " in their gods image" while the squids make art in their own image. It's closer a relation to heaven and hell. The sin of pride being their downfall and atlantens giving up their earthly form to achieve something greater than themselves.
oh, and on bubble blowing being in his genes, it was only when he was finally able to put his pride aside (out of spite mind you), and blow a bubble that he finally was able to become a talented clarinet player.
I've also noticed the biblical connotations.
They're not the same color
@@jujijumanfalse
@@O_t2_3there are none just because losers try to shove religious beliefs into anything and everything
We need more!!
While a bonkers theory, it was very entertaining.
This would make sense except squidward is confirmed to be a octopus
Plus there is Squidwards secret society.
This makes perfect sense!
