FAKE - The “Best Friends Forever” Attack of 2005

For all of you gullible motherfuckers who didn’t know this was fake from the start and spread misinformation like a kindergartener playing with shit, I added a big “FAKE” into the title, thank you.
NO DAN SCHIENDER DIDNT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS, SHUT THE FUCK UP UNNAMED TIK TOK USER
howtobeafathoe101, count your fucking days
On July 25th, 2005, Nickelodeon experienced an unexpected signal attack that dramatically changed imagery on screen during the episode Your Shoe's Untied. For many years, it seemed information on this incident remained well hidden, but over a period of time knowledge of this and many subsequent interruptions began to truly make themselves known online. What you are watching is some of the only surviving video footage to back up this event's existence. All involved parties would never have their names seen again. You do not know who works here. Nicknamed “Best Friends Forever” due to imagery that would be shown on other hijackings with the same nature on mostly the same year.
I hate what every single one of you have done to this video, cough cough danny rayes cough cough

The only part I can only really comment on was the part at 2:13 where the music was replaced with reversed music as that is a very commonly used thing in retakes

At 2:25 the snail clock is beaten up having a broken eye and also the colors look very dark and gritty basically showing that SpongeBob hasn't been in his home for quite a while and also Gary SpongeBob's pet snail has been abandoned in some of the later moments in my theory I think SpongeBob abandoned his house back in 2004 due to tax fraud because greedy Mr Krabs can't pay his employee / fry cook basically being a jerk because he wants all the money and antention and SpongeBob doesn't even get any money and basically you need money to pay taxes and with a lack of taxes that means tax fraud and basically you have to abandon everything to go to jail and in 3:00 SpongeBob just gives a cold look at you basically meaning he escaped jail tiny pupils and a big grin that gives you shivers down your spines he escaped jail somewhere in 2005 in my theory the reversed music is basically just something that sings SpongeBob go back to your home because he hasn't been in there for 1 year

Faceless is basically bunch of episodes stacked and is rather funny than unnerving

[@Ninespaces1]

Let’s say that red mist,lies,and resignation are all creepy incidents but red mist and lies are lost creepy episodes. So Red mist contains Squidward commuting suicide due to his clarinet playing making everyone leave and Lies is basically SpongeBob meeting the antagonist of Nickelodeon which is a goldfish with a stamped Nickelodeon on it.And I didn’t mention SpongeBob’s Suicide which shows the real truth of bootleg SpongeBob and it’s creepy story trying to commit suicide.Patrick’s Diabetes includes Patrick Star creeping out SpongeBob which is classified as Bootleg Patrick

maybe its because umm its a hijacking so it has errors???

[@ewwjelly]

oh ok

[@rodrigojogos.]

Sometimes, screenbugs on channels can experience issues due to technical errors, which can result into them appearing on commercials unintentionally, and more. Here on Brazil I've experienced the CN screenbug having several issues, and one time a few years ago, they were airing Total Dramarama on a afternoon and out of nowhere it would take several minutes for the screenbug to load its animation, almost an entire hour, which resulted on frames of the screenbug appearing while the episode was on and it would take forever for it to switch to the next one as if the screenbug was failing to load. And not to mention, most of the times when stuff like this happens, it takes them hours to fix it.
In the case of this being a hijacking, of course this could be possible. The screenbug is programmed to hide only after a episode is finished, and on this case of it being interrupted abruptly, the screenbug would be there AS if the episode was running but it wasn't, so the portrayal is really accurate. And speaking of the CN thing I was talking about, I could have screenshots of it somewhere but I really don't know where it all ended up.
