It’s A SpongeBob Christmas was absolutely a SpongeBob special like anyone has ever seen before. Instead of making it 2D animation like they always do, they instead made it completely in stop motion. I guess they were trying to do something similar like the Rankin-Bass Christmas specials like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. And I do have to say, this was a fun parody of that genre and a good Christmas special to watch once or twice in December. Also, I never forgot the classic Christmas song “Don’t Be A Jerk, It’s Christmas”.
“Don’t be a jerk it’s Christmas” is one of my most favorite songs to hear during the Christmas season. It’s simple but it has a very heartwarming message about being a good person 🥺
I find it funny how SpongeBob somehow tells Squidward grandma about her recipe and gets revenge on Squidward after he made fun of him about grandma kiss
John Goodman is actually pretty famous. Hes been in so many works. Hes been in Roseanne, voiced for movies like Monster's Inc and The Emperor's New Groove, and even in horror movies like 10 Cloverfield Lane. He used to be a regular on SNL. He was in The Big Lebowski. Huge talent fo sure
This is easily one of the best TV Christmas specials I’ve seen. “Christmas Who?” is still iconic, but “It’s a SpongeBob Christmas” is something passionate. There are really fun videos on the production.
@jytvreal well, the "Christmas Who" is still great and it's OK if people prefer that special more, but "It's SpongeBob Christmas" utilized the concept much better. Sure, Santa thanking Squidward for help and then going crazy is hilarious, but Patrick catching Santa in net might be the best and funniest endings in SpongeBob specials. Plus, there aren't many stop motion SpongeBob specials so that's one more reason why it's so memorable
This Christmas special is not just a season 8 episode, it aired on CBS as it standalone special Christmas. Even had its own blu-ray release! Great Christmas special.
I love both the Christmas episode and it’s song I also love that it shows SpongeBob truly is pure good I always watch both SpongeBob Christmas specials during Christmas time
The puppets ysed for this special are actually the same used for chowder especially in its later seasons. Like when endive says "silence the chubby one". I think it was the mood fruit episode. Which makes sense, since chowder was made by people involved with SpongeBob
“It’s a SpongeBob Christmas” is wonderful simply for its visuals. Not that it’s a bad episode at all, I’m just taken aback by this animation style. “Super Evil Aquatic Villain Team-Up is Go!” Pretty sure that’s the longest title yet. Yeah, he could’ve gone further with villain alliances, but Plankton never thinks everything through and it’s why I love him. But damn I miss Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy more than I thought. I think “Chum Fricassee” is closest Plankton has ever gotten to being successful. And for once, his failure isn’t his fault. It’s Squidward’s. The fame got to his head.
I enjoyed this SpongeBob Christmas episode. Seeing the animation style of the classic specials that air every Christmas season used for this episode was a cool takeaway. I can always look forward to this every holiday season.🙂
This Spongebob's Christmas Special has the best 2D animation stop motion and so funny. Don't be a jerk, it's Christmas song is my jam. John Goodman as Santa was amazing 🎵🎵🎵🎅🎅🎅🤣🤣🤣
CBS actually used to air It's a SpongeBob Christmas as a prime-time special on November 23, 2012! November 23, 2012 on CBS: 8:00pm Frosty the Snowman (1969) 8:30pm Frosty Returns (1995) 9:00pm Hoops & Yoyo Ruin Christmas (2011) 9:30pm SpongeBob SquarePants: It's a SpongeBob Christmas (2012) It pretty much makes this the only thing from SpongeBob that exclusively aired OUTSIDE any Nickelodeon channel!
Ah the sweet memories of 2012. Wow...typing that makes me realize it's been over 11 years, going on 12, since this first came out; and I STILL feel the same joy as that day!🥰🎄
Chum Fricassee was one of my favorites to watch. I remembered hating the ending since I liked seeing Squidward and Plankton succeeding. It was Squidward's fault in the end though.
Won’t lie Squidwards Grandma is determined to protect her recipe, she has a very strong sense of smell if she can smell her recipe cooking wrong from far away
I probably won't add anything new, just saying "It's SpongeBob Christmas" probably the best holiday special in the show. It's wild to realize the showrunners did this after giving mediocre "Atlantis SquarePantis", "SpongeBob vs the Big One" and "SpongeBob's Last Stand" and that they will give the worst special in the near seasons. Patrick is the best part of the whole thing, him actually capturing Santa is one of the most hilarious moments.
The SB Christmas stop motion special is pretty good. The songs were pretty catchy. Patrick said “clocks”, not that other word 💀 y’all have naughty minds 😅 it’s also nice to see Patchy and Potty again, and in stop motion form. The jerktonium fruitcake didn’t affect SpongeBob because he is just super nice in nature. Yes, John Goodman is the voice of Santa here :) Back to normal with the animation in the next episode. The title references Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go, a show that used to air on Jetix. Maybe y’all can check it out one of these days? I believe this is the last episode to feature both MM and BB together, and the last time you hear Ernest Borgnine’s voice as MermaidMan. He would pass away the year this episode aired. Chum Fricasse has the Chum Bucket have a successful menu item again, and features Squidward’s grandma. And she has something against him making the chum fricasse wrong 💀 and when Mr. Krabs and Spongebob went as Sir Krumple O’Wrapper 🤣 what a funny name. Nice to see Perch Perkins again.
I LOVE this special, its a surprisingly awesome special from S8! A usually pretty hated Season by most but its hard to deny how great a Stop-Motion special is!
I've always thought "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" was the better Christmas special compared to the original one. All the work they put into the stop-motion style that strongly differed from the traditional 2D art style really helps make it stand out. Plus, the way they showed the characters as jerks never failed to make me laugh with their hairy eyebrows and 5 o'clock shadows! Fun Fact: the "Don't Be a Jerk" song was created actually created for a LEGO competition that NickToons hosted way back in 2008, 4 years before this Christmas special premiered.
He's been preparing the whole year for this in between sleeping and eating. I bet he most likely has everything to keep Santa hostage up to the next Christmas
Considering your slight disappointment on Plankton's villain team up, I can't wait for you to see 'Captain Pipsqueak'. It does that kind of plot better imo 😅
Maybe that’s not the fault of the regular SpongeBob team but the production company that was working on the claymation and writing, they just forgot. Not sure If the storyboard included the helmet in the scene?
I think it would have been better if they actually showed the customers getting sick off the undercooked Chum Fricassee, just to drive home that Squidward truly deserved what happened to him. Outside of that it was a solid episode
That & the Halloween special is amazing with stop motion! They did an amazing job making this!! I love stop motion & claymation films & telly shows (TV shows - in British English)! 😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
For the first few years this special was out, I thought I disliked it due to it being overplayed and getting tired of it. Now I realize that’s dumb and that It’s A SpongeBob Christmas is great. It’s not Christmas Who, it’ll never top that, but I really like it
Honestly I think Chum Fricassee and a Krabby Patty are on equal level also I would want to know what would happen if they were combined but I bet it’d be the most delicious thing

And the bop that is don't be a jerk
“Don’t be a jerk it’s Christmas” is one of my most favorite songs to hear during the Christmas season. It’s simple but it has a very heartwarming message about being a good person 🥺
I agree
Me too.
I love listening to that song too
I find it funny how SpongeBob somehow tells Squidward grandma about her recipe and gets revenge on Squidward after he made fun of him about grandma kiss
Karma and I love it
Me too
I dont think he told her, word spread and she just heard about it in passing

I love both the Christmas episode and it’s song I also love that it shows SpongeBob truly is pure good
I always watch both SpongeBob Christmas specials during Christmas time
Apparently he’s on Inconsistent Admirable
That’s right
Even though Plankton discovered/made up Jerktonium, Sandy seems to know about its existence.
Sounds like someone is taking credit for Sandy’s discovery
I’ll never forget the Winter that episode came out. The songs were stuck in my head every Christmas since.
32:23 My Grandma would do the same thing, protect her recipe if a family member cooks it wrong & let’s everyone taste it
The puppets ysed for this special are actually the same used for chowder especially in its later seasons. Like when endive says "silence the chubby one". I think it was the mood fruit episode. Which makes sense, since chowder was made by people involved with SpongeBob

John Goodman is from Roseanne and also played Fred Flinstone in that live action Flinstones movie. He's currently active on The Connors still.
He was also the voice of Sully in Monsters Inc and Monsters University
He’s in a lot of movies.
I remember watching this episode when it came out it was instantly one my favorites episode of the series
25:40 I think this might be the final time Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway voiced MermaidMan and Barnacle Boy before they died.
Omg noooooooooooo!!! 😭😭😭😭
This Spongebob's Christmas Special has the best 2D animation stop motion and so funny. Don't be a jerk, it's Christmas song is my jam. John Goodman as Santa was amazing

You said the Christmas Special reminds you of Robot Chicken? Well the guys that animated this are the same guys who animated that show for a while.
Don’t be a jerk is awesome
Ikr?
It's the best Christmas song ever 🎅🎄☺
@@tylerdenaro3365 thank you!
I do love it
@@Ash1627 me too
Working at the bucket was the only time squidward ever got any respect
John Goodman was also evil Robot Santa on Futurama.
I love This SpongeBob Christmas Special
0:22 Patchy done resorted to kidnapping since the last time we saw him!
Chum Fricassee was one of my favorites to watch. I remembered hating the ending since I liked seeing Squidward and Plankton succeeding. It was Squidward's fault in the end though.
squidward and plankton are like the best duo ever XD
Won’t lie Squidwards Grandma is determined to protect her recipe, she has a very strong sense of smell if she can smell her recipe cooking wrong from far away

"I think the weakest one for me was the Plankton one."
They were are all about Plankton 😅
Idk what they're talking about the Plankton one slapped.
Yes!! My favorite SpongeBob Christmas special! I already miss Christmas 🎄 😢 😅
I still listening to the "It's Christmas, don't be a jerk" even it wasn't the season for it.
Can't wait for the legend of boo-kini bottom
14:03 I listen to that a song a lot during Christmas (the full version is on UA-cam)
I'll tell You already.
When You get to Season 11 there Will be another Stop-Motion Animated special.
"The Legend of BOO-Kini Bottom" for Halloween
Love that one but season 11 was ok
Man Ray got the Just One Bite addiction treatment
True! Unfortunately just not as much as a funny one :(
*YIPPEE IT’S A SPONGEBOB KIFFMIFF!!!!!!!!!!*
I LOVE this special, its a surprisingly awesome special from S8! A usually pretty hated Season by most but its hard to deny how great a Stop-Motion special is!
Typical Spongebob meat rider. Will give praise to even the trashiest of the modern episodes.
@@muffetmissulena6540 How is an episode from 2012 "Modern"?
This aired on my 11th birthday. 12/06/2012. 😂😊
We're old at this point
Merry Early-Christmas, Quirky Quota!!
“HOO-HOO-HOOH, YOU ‘RE A MENACE!!!”
Should I have a another baby after my baby coming soon👀?
7:15 - 7:41 As if Christmas Carolers weren’t obnoxious enough.
Awesome reaction of my favorite SpongeBob episode!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
13:47 agree 😅🤣😂😂
Santa clause forgot about the one present you wished why Winnie about the one that you missed don't be a jerk it's Christmas ohhh.

the people that made robot chicken made this i think
How the hell did Patrick latch on to Santa’s sleigh without problems???
He's been preparing the whole year for this in between sleeping and eating. I bet he most likely has everything to keep Santa hostage up to the next Christmas
I honestly don't understand the hate for fruitcake. Its so good.
29:09 I highly Squidward would have stolen crabby patties cause Mr. Krabs would’ve caught that
Watching a Christmas episode when it’s not Christmas I like it 😂
I love this Christmas special!!!❤️ 🎄
I never watched that new stop motion Christmas special it looks beautiful.
Ep 23 Patrick wants that Timmy Turnner wish. Ep 24 sqridword was to impatient and made it undercook.
I always loved the music/songs in this special, certified Christmas bangers 🎄❤
I love this Christmas special
It has been stated that the food chum fricassee must be cooked for exactly 24 hours, or else it will cause an upset stomach.
There’s a Lego version of “Don’t Be a Jerk.” You guys should check it out.
Thanks for this reaction I remember seeing this Christmas 2012
All of this was hand made the characters all hand made.
I was wondering when you guys would react to It’s A SpongeBob Christmas, that’s a real good episode, IMO 😃
Never cut corners when cooking.
One of my favorite episodes
Considering your slight disappointment on Plankton's villain team up, I can't wait for you to see 'Captain Pipsqueak'. It does that kind of plot better imo 😅
30:28 he's the only one that can see through the disguise
Deserved😂👏🏽 12:30
0:01 1:24 14:40 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
12:45 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Me at 2 am.
No questions about SpongeBob not wearing a water helmet in Sandy’s dome okay just me😅
Maybe that’s not the fault of the regular SpongeBob team but the production company that was working on the claymation and writing, they just forgot. Not sure If the storyboard included the helmet in the scene?
I think it would have been better if they actually showed the customers getting sick off the undercooked Chum Fricassee, just to drive home that Squidward truly deserved what happened to him. Outside of that it was a solid episode

I mean you’re not wrong, they used to overplay it a lot back in the day 😭
this was made on CBS
Honestly I think Chum Fricassee and a Krabby Patty are on equal level also I would want to know what would happen if they were combined but I bet it’d be the most delicious thing
If u pause at 16:29 at the right time spongebob has a funny face
