When SpongeBob Gets Creepy

- There's nothing more nostalgic to me than early Spongebob Squarepants. I lived to see those early season episodes on Nickelodeon when I was a kid. But, we can all agree, there were some pretty terrifying episodes that aired. Let's take a look at a few of those episodes that freaked us all out when we were younger.
Check out my latest video: • I Graded Every Michael...
Thanks For Watching!
I wanted to clarify something real quick. Yes, I know Stephen Hillenburg created the show and episodes (I promise). This was a goof on my part that I wanted to clear up and apologize for! Appreciate you all watching and for the positivity!
1st
No prob bro, we all make lil goofs
The creepiest episode gonna be when squidward got stuck in a locker
casual, unsubscribed
you are my brother
That "Alone" sequence in SB-129 creeped me out so much as a kid. Not only was Squidward being in a white abyss scary to me, but the "Alone" texts and voices were even scarier. For some reason, they almost felt like a real person, talking to me through the TV. The specific text that was in the yellow speech bubble was particularly unsettling for me. It almost felt real, like I could touch it. I cannot at all find the right words to describe how this scene made me felt.
I perceived it as being in "limbo" just stuck in nothingness.
ALONE..alone..alone….
It was kind of creepy, but SB-129 is my all time favorite episode. I especially found it interesting when he was in that void, but I also like the chrome future and caveman SpongeBob and Patrick.
That was your first experience of existentialism. It also creeped me out in a way that I didn’t understand as a kid, the idea of being stuck in a void like that always freaked me out, it was also one of my first experiences or existential dread.
Ikr
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the episode where the wind gets so bad that spongebob seeks shelter in a cave for years, making a stone statue of himself to talk to and when he emerge as an old man, he finds Bikini Bottom is a wasteland so he builds larger statues of himself that harness the wind to make music, which in turn draws in aliens who study them
it wasnt the wind that made him stay, it was the jellyfish
Yep it's called Spongehenge and the ending freaks me out tbh.
That one f ed me up as a kid bro
That one I unironically loved because it was so disturbing, alone with the Squids Visit episode. They both do horror so well lol 😂
Spongehenge, that episode was very creepy as a kid
The first time I saw doing time as a kid, I had fever already causing a weird perception, that episode didn't do it any favors lol
I remember having a severe fever as a kid and the Rose Bowl was on. I remember hallucinating that I was playing in the game. Crazy times lol
S tier core memory
Stop lying
@@MizzDrizzleyfor a mf whos stuck on 360, nvm ima leave it there, 360 is bad enough
@@realbruhkad I have a modern console. My 360 is modded my nigga
There was also that episode where SpongeBob went in his locker and basically ended up in the backrooms. That one terrified me as a kid.
YEAH BRO, I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS EXACT COMMENT. THAT SINGLE EPISODE IS HANDS DOWN THE SCARIEST FOR ME
That episode was CONFUSING!!!
What episode is that?
@@Camille-t5f Wondering this, too
Squidward in clarinet land
Rock Bottom is especially creepy if you ever had to get home on your own as a kid or gotten lost after dark, I imagine any kids who grew up in places like Chicago or south central LA could relate (At least ones I've talked to growing up) the monsters or odd creatures could act as a metaphor for strangers or creepy people you'd only run into at night. I know it's an odd comparison but it's what came to mind when this episode popped into my head again.
It's very definitely a reference to getting off at the wrong stop in a strange rougher area of town and getting stuck because of transit schedules. I also think the moral of the story in it is that even if people seem to be creepy or dangerous, usually they're just people like everyone else and there are plenty of helpful people so you don't have to fear everyone.
@@wolfhoodlum1789that also explains why it’s called rock bottom, alluding to the addicts, the prostitutes, the homeless and mentally ill people that come out at night in the rougher part of the city.
I just wanna say this show has a chokehold on me till this day as I am very fearful of butterflies- if u know u know.
I recently have been overcoming my fear of them but whenever one goes near me all I remember is the sound of flies and the one close up shot of that butterfly and those eyes...
Wait people are actually afraid of butterflies? Their wings are so beautiful!
So now u more like a sword fighter?
I saw it when I was six and I didn’t rewatch it until 11😭
I do
Imo the scariest Spongebob episode is the one where Spongebob hides Squidward's clarinet, everything about it is just eerie
That is a mind fucker
no fr
I’ve never seen that one, is that after season 4
@@dorkydorgi5873 no, i guess is in season 3 but i'll search it for ya
You mean when he’s in the weird box bro the creators must’ve been on lsd making that one
To this day, I still believe that the creepiest episode of SpongeBob is Spongehenge. It reminds me a lot of SB-129 because of how cryptic and weird it is, but I think it has a way creepier ending and plot. Just the way you can't really wrap your head around anything that happens in it has never sat right with me.
It is pretty creepy lol
No mention of Graveyard Shift? That episode is the only one that struck me as being scary when I was a kid.
Same
The scariest one of them all as well
this one single handedly freaked me out as a child
I loved when spongebob got spooky and psychological.
I was always scared of some of the live action scenes a kid, like the vampire turning on the light and that random girl with pig tails. Also sitting through the credit music at night was unnerving for me.
Just looked up the woman the with pigtails as I forgot about the image. My god you're so right that picture is so creepy for some reason?? The hair, the missing tooth, the eyes, the overall presence I get is unsettling.
Brooo and the gorilla one?? Like this show was on something ong
@@nyreebaldwin1642nah I just looked it up and I’m actually scared wrtffff??
Dude, I always straight up HATED the girl with pigtails. That episode was borderline unwatchable to me as a kid.
Nosferatu is incredibly tame in comparison.
I wasn't scared of the end credits because my grandfather made up a song once when I was in kindergarten. I was a procrastinator [still am], so he sung along to it, going, "What about your homework?" I physically can't get scared of it.
If Spongebob scared you, Courage would have killed you.
Courage scared the shit out of me as a kid
I liked it when Spongebob had these kinds of episodes. Kids can handle this sort of thing, they're not gonna keel over and start foaming at the mouth if you present them with some slightly spooky stuff every now and then. I wish more cartoons would have episodes like this~.
Good video btw, had fun recalling memories of this show~. :)
@@Loollydoll I saw all these episodes as a kids and I turned out fine
@@Loollydollhuh?
@@Loollydoll Huh?
You wanna realize something? The majority of the most creepy spongebob episodes are set at nighttime. I’m sure someone can make a theory out of that.
Horrible nightmares
when I was a kid I watched SpongeBob before 3 am anf then I seen the door Episode 🌝
The horse fly close up in Wormy always scares me the most.
I know this is an episode outside of the classic era, but Planet of the Jellyfish genuinely screwed me up as a kid. Something about the idea of the characters being mimicked by this alien creature (which is left to be a mystery) and having weird eyes and mannerisms really shook me. I always skipped the episode when it was on TV, especially since that episode was together with “Are You Happy Now?” which was equally as creepy honestly. I remember I used to have three Beanie Baby cat plushes, and I remember being terrified whenever they fell off the bed cause I was afraid the Jellion versions of the SpongeBob characters and Creepypasta characters would kidnap them lmao, funny looking back on that stuff now
Hold the mayo
Squidward torture scenes always freaked me out watching it so bad as a kid
I enjoyed it when I was a kid
The scariest SpongeBob moment was the butterfly episode. The close up shots of the butterfly with a fly buzzing noise scared the absolute shit out of me that every time I saw the title card of the episode, I would just not watch it. I think that episode alone might’ve attributed to my fear of insects. I’m 17 now and that still freaks me out.
Exactly
Bro SAME!
SAME
Squidward in clarinetland always freaked me out as a kid
Yes!!! Also the episode gone when everyone leave biki butoom and leave spongebob alone
same but the new one with the doors and the creepy baby scared me a lot a few years ago
You also could’ve mentioned the Flying Dutchman episode, where when Squidward gets dropped in to that sort of hell, sequins were all the scary faces were
It always that god damn piano that plays whenever something creepy happens in the show, with that trumpet squeal at the end. We all know the one I'm talking about and it still gives me chills.
I don’t remember that?
ua-cam.com/video/saxSJauy-78/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
You mean this?^
@@gerardmcdonough3342 I think it’s called “shock” from the SpongeBob sounds production. It’s fucking creepy.
It's called shock and thats a celeastia not a piano
SB-129 has always been the most eerie episode in my opinion, the very thought of using a Time-Machine only for something to go wrong and next thing you know your completely outside of Time itself somehow.
I always was scared of the hall monitor episode. The ending scene on spongebib running around destroying the city made me uneasy for some reason
Yeah it’s kinda scary if you think of it realistic but me on the other hand got irritated by this episode for some reason.
it was the design of the street sign next to him that really unnerved me as a kid.
For me, the end was a little unsettling because of Mrs. Puff's face. Her passive-aggressive to furious face was unnerving as if she's gonna get revenge when she gets out of prison.
yeah the fact that i actually thought the maniac was a diffrent person following spongebob and i couldnt really understand the eipsode cus i was like 3
That scene had me laughing HARD
i’d say the creepiest one for me was the clarinet forest one where they had the locker
This is one of my favorite videos I’ve seen in a while. I love the focus on SpongeBobs subtler eerieness and hyper surreal moments. The show is already so conceptually surreal, it’s interesting that certain moments stick out regardless. I’m excited to see what else you’ll make!
"Graveyard shift" still scares me 😂
i was never freaked out watching these as a kid.. in fact most of these were my favourite episodes to watch lmao
the autophobia meaning made me realize why kids would go with their parents than being *Home Alone*
0:02 The fact that this needs to be clarified proves the decline of the show
Graveyard Shift definitely gave me chills back then.
SpongeBob after the first season got a weird underlying unease. It's hard to explain but it only got worse when the show got bad after the third season. I had some nightmares related to SpongeBob as a kid. I think Procrastination is the creepiest episode to me because it's the most dream-like and it's exactly what I do.
should’ve mentioned “squidward in clarinetland” such a chilling episode
I know it's not an "old" episode but Gone creeped me out as a kid
Gone used to make me so anxious that I would wake up and find that everyone left me
Surprised you didn’t mention the night shift episode. That episode felt like an example of scary stories to tell in the dark with the hashslinging slasher. It always unnerved me as a kid especially at the end with nosferatu. I think the doing time episode is reaching a lil bit. It never felt even the slightest bit creepy or scary to me as a kid. I think it’s one of the funnier episodes actually with all the stunts patrick & spongebob pull to get mrs. puff out. At the very most the episode is a bit psychologically trippy with scene where she is in that yellow box
You forgot about the episode where SpongeBob literally remodels his house off of Squidwards house and even the stitching his mother made of a pillow and there's a fire at Squidwards house and at the end we're left with him having tea with a vacuum cleaner and he goes insane it ends with his maniacal laughter and than the screen goes black I have my own theories for this but I'll only discuss them if you rev
This
@@possumbusiness this indeed...
Okay, but that pillow Squidward's mom made for him was so sweet ❤ I'd like to do something like that for my future kids one day.
I remember the episode
@@tarixleleleAOSwhich episode is it
0:26 Stephen Hillenburg created the episode ideas and the show not Tom Kenny
yea my same thought. XD
Stephen Hillenburg made the show.
Tom Kenny voiced SpongeBob.
The episode where mr crabs was in the comma always scared me as a kid. It’s the cold organ that would appear in the background music in the hospital scenes that put it over the edge
Yeah even for a kids show some of the music is generally scary
I was creeped out by the Spongehenge episode. Something about the whistling in the statues
Music at the end
the aliens
The old Spongebob episodes were amazing. It's always something well thought out and a true classic
Yea, seasons 1-4
One part that always creeped me out was in the episode “Shanghaied” when they run through the perfume department and at the end of that episode when they’re in a blender being made into a smoothie by The Flying Dutchman.
There is a disturbing amount of body horror in this show
I saw all of these episodes as a kid but nothing terrified me more than 'Ghost Host' from season 4.
Rock bottom has still stuck with me years after having watched it for the first time. I think its the imagery of the road going upwards, that implication of not escaping the deepest part of the sea.
Oh my gosh, you are so right about procrastination. That scared me so much as a kid. You should do a video on The Dream episode of Pingu which was the equivalent of Outlast for me as a kid.
I'd add "Squid's Day Off" to this list. Similarly to Mrs. Puff in "Doing Time," we watch Squidward slowly lose his mind. It's my pick for the creepiest Spongebob episode. During rewatches of episodes, I usually skip over that one.
I love those old "creepy" episodes and moments
Me too when it wasn’t sugarcoated and allows it to be creepy and weird
And also have the characters overcome it
This was in my recommended. Keep up this content and you're gonna blow up! I loved it
I like your picks for this video , but honestly the only SpongeBob episode I actually found creepy as a kid was Once Bitten
explain please
Yeah nothing in SpongeBob creeped me out more than the dream sequence in procrastination, especially the chair talking
Dude I’m so glad you made this video I thought I was the only one who loved these episodes but found them creepy
I still want to see a _real_ hash-slinging slasher show up at some point
What?
I remember getting the SB-129 creeps as a kid but this video made me rewatch the episode and to say the least I found it fascinating and actually a little funny.
Bruh, how could you *NOT* include the live-action closeup of a horsefly in the Wormy episode?!?! That s**t STILL makes me shutter and gives me the heebie-jeebies and I’m in my 20s!!
The camping episode will always slap for me
‘’His clock says some menacing things” is the scariest thing I’ve ever heard
I think Cartoon Network had the scariest cartoons as a kid for me 😂 courage the cowardly dog had me turning all the lights on to use the bathroom at midnight
Return the slab!
The only episode that was mentioned that I was generally creeped out by is doing time because of the hallucinations that Mrs Puff had at the end of the episode, but the other episodes mentioned I personally didn’t find really creepy.
4:52 the sb-129 was actually my favourite SpongeBob episode I rmbr loving it
Doing Time is made so much worse when you realise Mrs Puff is in a perpetual loop, stuck in time for eternity in constant terror. That is Hell
The scariest part of “Procrastination” is how relatable it is. “Can’t have dirty garbage.” 😂
The ending of the episode that is a callback to The Planet of the Apes where Spongebob is basically the last person on earth absolutely horrified me as a child based on how out of nowhere this reveal was, it's also pretty damn sad.
The first time I saw doing time when I was 12. I think Mrs. Puff is trapped with SpongeBob in boating school all day long.
Whoa, you didn't mention Graveyard Shift or Wormy, I'm pretty sure GYS is one of the most creepy episodes.
Also, the fact Spongebob is over 24 years old & people are still talking about it now just shows how great the first seasons were.
This show had crazy visuals
As part of the 25th anniversary, they're going to show a sequel episode to SB-129, called _"PL-1413";_ starring Plankton as the protagonist.
Don’t ignore some of the later episodes as well like the Season 7 episode “Squidward in Clarinetland”
When I was a kid, I never got past the title of inspongeneac because it scared me enough to avoid the episode all together
I also remembered an episode with (i think) spiders crawling out of squidwards eyes where squidward had nightmares about spongebob and patrivk
The sea bear episode scared tf out of me. I was so afraid of bears after this but I got over it
For me it was “Nature Pants” when SpongeBob decided to go live with the jellyfish, Patrick decided to try and bring SpongeBob back home by making him a “trophy” with a scary visual of Patrick angry crying and more terrifying music, sent shivers down my spine to see Patrick that sad and that angry 🥶
i am just surprised that he didnt talk about red mist like that still makes me scared
Sorry to break it to you but Red Mist is a fanmade thing
I was always scared by the ghost host episode, the Flying Dutchman part obviously but the scariest part to me was the power within thing, I was like wtf is this
Spongebob isn't the Goat - The Goat is Spongebob.
For adults every single episode ever is terrifying actually
3:17 SpongeBob isn’t in high school btw
SpongeBob is in the background on my tv right now😂🤦♂️
The episode Night Light scared me as a kid
As a kid i saw all these episodes and i just lafed the whole time.
For some reason, even though it’s a bit terrifying, my favourite episode when I was younger, and still now will always be SB-129.
The episode where SpongeBob isn’t left alone by the wind and the statues he built didn’t help and it ends with the aliens visiting was creepy
Technically bordering on modern Spongebob, but the “ACTORS” close up in the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy movie episode always freaked me out…
It sort of creeped me out too but was still funny in it's own way.
yeah the brain one scared me when i watched with my grandma
Honestly I hope a future season of SpongeBob will return the show to its roots, showing SpongeBob tackling mature and heavy themes, but with a light hearted and innocent look at them.
There is always room for a creepy aspect within cartoons you expect to be completely innocent, Its a weird thing to think about
These type of cartoons actually provoked deeper thoughts in children that could possibly help a developing mind. Rock bottom shows that not everything unknown is evil.
You’re awesome man. I hope you become a big UA-camr!
Not sure if u guys remember watching the episode where squidward gets lost in his locker. That shit freaked the hell out of me…
Clarinte land creepiest episode
Clarinetland is one of the weirdest
Y’all just gonna forget about that one where sponge bob turns into a snail that shit was creepy ash
Just thought I’d mention that Tom Kenny is the iconic voice actor of SpongeBob, but Steven Hillenburg is the actual creator of the show😅
I know right and the video states tom Kenny came up with creepy ideas. You mean Stephen hillenburg?
@@FreddyJenkins read the pinned comment
I think there is a type of cartoon humour that The Simpsons tapped into with itchy and scratchy. I believe that after so long of writing this stuff, mainly referring to consistent "young teen" cartoons, it gets to a point where a sadistic side wants to experiment. A call to the void in a form of media where the line is nudged so lightly they you could miss it. A foot on the line of which a show steps beyond what it is known for.
Spongebob executes this well through the abstract absurdity of imagery that makes you wonder if it's comedic or unsettling, or if this really is a kid's show after all.
I am now entirely convinced i have spongebob to thank for my desensitization towards horror
House of Horror is a terrifying SpongeBob track that sticks with me to this day, and it perfectly suits a lot of the creepy episodes
Didn't expect Doing Time and Procrastination here, never realized how those moments could be creepy, I always just found it funny
The scariest SpongeBob scene for me is still nosforatu flickering the lights and the smile at the end. Always spooked me
Something that always freaked me out about SpongeBob, to this day even (I am NOT good with remotely dark stuff lol), is when characters ‘comedically’ go absolutely insane. The concept of insanity already spooks me, but seeing it happen in a light that’s meant to be comedic in a colorful animated show creeps me out sooo much. When I was a kid, I literally couldn’t even look at it or I’d be up all night. It’s not even just SpongeBob; any show that toys around with insanity as a joke creeped me the heck out.
I'll be honest. The episode where Mr Krabs went insane over his lucky dollar going missing on the ship was a little unsettling.
the essay episode is very relatable when you have to study last minute a day before a test
The talking chair and the Gary clock scared tf outta me as a child 😬
this channel is so underrated, what
