With the show's creator gone, you can it expect it not to feel like the same show anymore. At least during the post-movie pre-sequel era he was still alive and well and, contrary to popular belief, was still involved in the show. Seasons 12-14 aren't the same show since they have aired past his passing.
Season 11 was the last season to air in his lifetime. It wrapped up literally a day before he died with Goons on the Moon, that was the last episode to air in his lifetime.

Not really, people who are stuck in their old ways are sometimes fun. New SpongeBob isn't the same as old SpongeBob, there's no clever writing like the episode where Squidward got fired. It's just endless visual diarrhea and gross out """humor""".
Modern SpongeBob is so obviously *just* meant to be visual stimulation. Brighter colors, more frequent movements that are more exaggerated, a change in facial expression every 2 seconds, more exaggerated facial expressions, etc. Plus there’s much more sound effects, makes me think of those brain rot cocomelon videos

The way the characters are written now just feels off. Like they're from some alternate dimension. It gives me a sense of dissonance like I'm suddenly in the spongebob backrooms where everything feels wrong.
I don't get why Nickelodeon constantly reuses old plots from old episodes and put them in new ones like that's probably the laziest thing I've ever seen a big company do and it's worst because of how many episodes they did that's just a reused plot with a tiny bit of differences in it, they have to stop being lazy for once and actually make a unique episode not relying on references or reused stories for once, then maybe just maybe it would be a little better
It's disappointing, I've heard that they worked super hard to come up with original plots during the show's peak. IIRC one of the writers previously worked the show Angry Beavers which made it even HARDER for them to come up with new plots. This show is the Simpsons for children, just pull the plug already
It was getting better for awhile from Season 9B-12 (excluding episodes like Ink Lemonade & The Nitwitting) but Seasons 13 & 14 have been the worst in the series IMO. Which we all knew would happen due to Stephens death. The fact that several fans are now nostalgic for Season 4 & 5 (The Declining but still has its share of golden moments era) shows that this series has dragged too long. Hell some fans I’m even starting to see are saying Seasons 13 & 14 have been so bad, they make Seasons 6-8 look like Comedy Gold in comparison
I don't know, I mean, there are some good episodes still, but most of them aren't that good, I thought season 13 had some really good episodes, but unfortunately they were very few compared to the good episodes of other seasons

Not just the jokes, but entire episodes. Sometimes in Modern SB the show will make a character or other variable more of a jerk, dumb, or whatever aspect so it can convenience the plot. It’s like, instead of fitting the shape into the correct hole, they just force a shape into a hole it shouldn’t be able to fit in and call it a day.
This is definitely a real problem. So many of the jokes could work on paper, but they force it in as if the writers believe kids won’t get it unless it’s specifically told to them. The clown joke, and even the ending with Patrick crying could’ve been great jokes if they didn’t just straight up tell you what the joke is.
modern spongebib checklist: ☑️ over the top overanimated expressions and loud noises ☑️old nostalgia bait reference that doesnt add anything ☑️haha patrick dumb and eats something and acts stupid ☑️squidward tortured for no reason ☑️weird uncomfortable stuff that seems like someones fetis
The clown funeral would have worked if he goes there thinking theres nothing funny. Then they just show the clown funeral with all clowns and spongebob just leaves without saying anything. I can’t believe they fumbled such an easy joke🤦♂️
You can tell that SpongeBob’s voice sounds slightly off in these newer episodes. There is definitely something off with the way his voice is pitched. It doesn’t sound “full.” Tom Kenny still sounds like SpongeBob, but it’s like his upper vocals have gotten flatter. Either that, or he’s trying not to strain himself nearly as much on his pitch.
@@JohnBrian-wm8fw the fuck are you talking about? I rarely upload on my channel, and when I do it’s because I wanna shit post. My criticism of modern SpongeBob is just as valid as anyone else’s. I am not a hypocrite, stfu.
@@JohnBrian-wm8fw did you actually watch Bojack Horseman? Or did you just watch the first episode and based your ENTIRE opinion of the show off that. Cause you know the series gets good after the first few duds. You just gotta prevail.
They just straight-up ran out of ideas, but instead of finally putting a merciful end to this dying show, they just are now reusing old ideas. There’s gotta be SOMEBODY at Nickelodeon that believes this show needs to end someday, right?
How did SpongeBob turn from such a funny show with SO MUCH replay value, i could watch the earlier seasons of this show over and over without getting bored, now i can barely make it through 5 minutes.
A lot of people are talking about Tom’s voice. It’s just age and it happens to everyone. I just think Tom can’t hit the highs of SpongeBob anymore or can’t do them long enough for a full session but it is still “SpongeBob enough” for me. Doesn’t really change the fact that the episodes aren’t good though.
he sounded relatively normal until like one specific line that made me go 🤨 and replay it a couple times bc it was just deep enough for me to be surprised that it was SpongeBob saying it
Spongebob should end the show with him becoming the world's best chef or something like that, so he becomes famous and really happy. And he's training other young people on how to be a good chef, too. Or he could finally get his boating license. Idk just something like a "happy" ending.
I like to imagine the first SpongeBob movie as the finale in the SpongeBob episode timeline. Thing is, if there were any episodes that are supposed to take place after the movie, there would be the KK2 and SpongeBob as the manager of it. But that’s never even thought about in the show, let alone directly mentioned. In fact, Stephen Hillenberg _wanted_ the movie to act as the final episode in the SpongeBob timeline.
@@thelibyanplzcomeback Eh I don’t think the Sandy Cheeks movie affected the series in anyway. However, I’ve heard the 4th SpongeBob movie will have some of the original crew from the first few seasons, so maybe there will be a change?
Season 12 seems decent to me, it has things that I didn't really like, but also that I loved. I also don't see how seasons 4 and 5 can be considered "bad".
@@maxsteellatino3241 Season 4 was actually very good, but it's bad episodes were unlike any other bad episode from before. They started to seem like Modern SpongeBob.
I haven't watched Modern Spongebob in about 2 years. MY LORD I had NO CLUE Tom Kenny's Spongebob voice had dilapidated SO MUCH! Nothing against him, it's Nickelodeon keeping this show and the VA's on Life Support
I rewatched Funny Pants and although I'm not a fan of season 4, I'm shocked how much better we had it back then. Coherent story, funny faces kept to a minimum, occasional good jokes. 20 years has not been kind to this show.
Most of Season 4 was actually kinda solid and Ridiculously Overhated. The problem is the BAD episodes (Good Neighbors, Funny Pants, All That Glitters, Squid Wood, The Gift of Gum etc…) we’re significantly worse than the Worst Pre-Movie episodes (I’m with Stupid, Grandma’s Kisses, Dumped, Great Snail Race, All Season 3 Specials etc…) which hinted that the series was in decline
Marion Ross the actor who plays grandma SquarePants was asked to come out of retirement by her nephew Jim Meskimen who pleaded with the SpongeBob crew to have her return to the role one last time.
And the first movie. But then again, that's basically what everybody else has been saying online, since after the fourth season first premiered years ago.
Nice to see you back Also I wonder why the writers can’t understand that SpongeBob isn’t Ren and Stimpy. I can’t stand the weird and exaggerated humor. However, in my eyes, Season 1 - 3 are the canon seasons, and the first movie is the true ending. It’s sad that Nick is milking a once amazing cartoon and turning it awful. I don’t care if people are sad when it ends. It just needs to. The show's creator died, and most of the voice actors/actresses are getting older, yet they just don’t care. So Nick, please, just let this show end already.
A lot of the crew who worked on Ren and Stimpy went to work on SpongeBob following the show’s cancellation. But half of em are old asf now and probably retired by now. These new writers/animators are on some other shit. They don’t gotta clue on how to properly tell the difference between SpongeBob and an old Bob Clampett cartoon now.
Looks more like ren and stimpy rather than SpongeBob. I’ve heard some people say that it’s like they are trying hard to forcefully make the next SpongeBob meme by making their faces extremely exaggerated.
1:25 this just proves Dan wasn’t the guy making all those decisions, he’s just the scapegoat. As you said Dan is gone for years, 6 years not 10 but still.
No it was definitely Dan SpongeBob wasn't like this when Steven hillburg was around it was all Dan Schneider's ideas in his shows and also the team now is definitely not the same them from the past they still got some older voice actors but other then that their team is different
@I_Dont_Believe_In_Salad this man doesn't realize that Dan has never been accused of directly abusing kids in that way. Maybe being a jerk but that's about it. Lol
This episode seems even more unsettling than just another random Spongebob episode popping in from the get-go. The other fishes at the beginning were all greenish, Spongebob's faces when he tries to hold in his laughs, and take that the entire episode of Spongebob laughing at many real-world situations we see today; poor customer service, an operation (whether if life-threatening or not), and even him laughing at a funeral. What scares me the most is that his whole face becomes a literal wide mouth agape, laughing 24/7. If I were Nickolodeon, this episode should be banned. It is so uncanny and out-of-normal, that I would rather consider this a CREEPYPASTA.
It feels like they're running low on budget or at least they're making their budget Tighter and Tighter to try and make as much profit as possible because the fishes in the previous episodes all had different colors and even unique patterns and all that our stuff and now they all just look the same SpongeBob and Patrick look extremely oversimplified not even blinking as much as they used to do it's kind of sad really and SpongeBob sounds completely different
These new episodes never fail to disappoint at every corner. There isn’t a single joke in these newer episodes. It’s all slapstick, but without the comedy. Just makes you wish that they’d finally put this show to rest.
Modern Spongebob could be good if it just used exaggerated faces, annoying sounds, yelling, weird moments, and dumbed down characters way less. It just took everything and made it too much to take in at once, since nickelodeon thinks kids are stupid.
season 1-3 spongebob was episode after episode of beautiful, comfortable whimsical vibes, with the animation and style and music. It’s now the complete opposite, the whole show makes you feel uncomfortable and it’s just so hard to watch
It seems like they're trying to chase the Bluey audience while thinking they'll keep their current audience just by putting in references to old episodes.
I hate SpongeBob since season 10. I hate the animation style and they stopped using the older background music. Can we get a normal animation style like „Fear Of A Krabby Patty“ or season 1-3?
Spongebob should've ended after Hillenberg was gone, they are just endlessly perverting his original idea. And for what? Nothing will match his original vision, Spongebob is just an unending cash cow that gets worse and worse as it goes on.
Oh noes! They are ruining the legacy of a guy who actually wanted the animation style to change and came back for the last few seasons! Almost as if writing changes each generation and you are just mad it isn't made for you anymore.
without having anything from this season, and agreeing with everyone you said about this episode, the robot chasing everyone in the hospital saying "haha I am the surgeon now" made me smile
@AnimationWorldReal erm well actually The very first episode aired on 5/1/99 as a “sneak peek”, but Nick did not “officially” premiere the show until 7/17/99 when they aired Bubblestand. So Nick considers 7/17 the official premiere date
6:47 that is exactly how the show makes Stephen look in his grave now smh. spongebob was dumb and silly as a character before but now I feel like spongebob is being tortured by these creators to do the stupidest things possible now I see why Stephen didn't plan on longevity for the show. Then spongebob has this laugh problem is fired from his job but there is no real solution he still can't go back to work n the problem was never really fixed just told embrace it basically. Wow 10/10 writing
he wasnt even dumb in the early seasons, just really dorky, naive and socially inept. thats why they made him a square. here they just make him really annoying and deranged
The difference between this episodes and Funny Pants is that in In Funny Pants. He tries not to laugh at funny things or else he thinks he will never laugh again. In this episode Spongebob can’t stop laughing and he is trying not to laugh in front of people because it would be awkward. Which honestly sounds like a pretty good concept for an episode. Also, is it me or is the animation in the older seasons more smoother than in the newer seasons? I mean, at 3:41 he’s just sliding. And I remember seeing an episode that’s about the anchovies returning and I remember one part where the anchovies didn’t have animations for stepping out of the bus.
Better than propaganda cartoons like XMen 97 and Bojack Horseman who can't go five seconds without screaming about how "le white supremacy" bad or why we need to fight for random crap like climate change or how the gender pay gap is super duper important. How dare Spongebob be fun and non-political in a time where everyone is miserable and loathes their existence? How fucking dare Spongebob.
@@ballsmegee I don’t get your comment? Are you saying that Spongebob is a better cartoon because it’s doesn’t talk about political stuff? Because it is for kids? Those shows are for adults.
The fact that this made me appreciate Funny Pants, an episode that already falls completely flat compared to the original seasons. 💀 I really do understand that for some people this is enough, but man, to me the writing and creativity in these new episodes are at an all time low.
I'm really getting burnt out on the show and one of the main reasons is just the lazy episodes that are just older episodes. These recent seasons have been doing that a lot and it's so dull. I mean there's a couple I find unique and good but with S9 and 10 at least every episode felt fresh whether it was good or bad. S14 has been alright but I might not care to tune into the rest of the season... I'll just stick with the classics.
@@Mike-fz2kh I'm talking about any episode including episodes that rehash pre-movie episodes like Squidiot Box and future episode PL-143. And on top of that you have these types of episodes and it seems to be a common theme especially for S13 and S14. There's a lot more episodes that are just similar to older episodes than the ones you listed.
and Stephen wanted his show to end before he passed away then when the movie (2004) came out it got way more popular , that was one of his wishes I guess they just took a big ol shxt on.
Stephen Hillenburg came back to the show for the final few years of his life, you don't know what he wanted besides an old ass newspaper article from 2001

people keep saying modern spongebob is good but its either boring or just terrible
It was getting better for awhile from Season 9B-12 (excluding episodes like Ink Lemonade & The Nitwitting) but Seasons 13 & 14 have been the worst in the series IMO. Which we all knew would happen due to Stephens death. The fact that several fans are now nostalgic for Season 4 & 5 (The Declining but still has its share of golden moments era) shows that this series has dragged too long. Hell some fans I’m even starting to see are saying Seasons 13 & 14 have been so bad, they make Seasons 6-8 look like Comedy Gold in comparison
@@jonahgoldstein9905seasons 7-10 really are underrated and judged too harshly
I don't know, I mean, there are some good episodes still, but most of them aren't that good, I thought season 13 had some really good episodes, but unfortunately they were very few compared to the good episodes of other seasons
@@1nc0rr1g1bl3 I think 9 and 10 are a bit underrated, but it's hard to talk about cus 9 goes from, this is alright to, oh there's some actually really good episodes, and 10 is such a short season, it's hard to compare it to others, I think 6 is kinda underrated, 7 and 8 tho, aren't very good, 8 is just so mid, and 7 has some really bad episodes, and not many good ones

Spongebob's first packwatch 😂
It was a machine so it made sense
It’s sad seeing Tom Kenny slowly loose the SpongeBob voice. Though at least it’s not as high as it was after the third season
I've heard some say that he enjoys voicing Spongebob, though I do think hearing the character now just feels painful. I can't help but be reminded of what happened to Marge Simpson's VA due to how she can't replicate the voice very well anymore.
I feel like the modern SpongeBob is trying too hard to be funny to the point where some jokes feel forced
THESE JOKES ARE SO FORCED its actually insane
@@yuhaye3986 of course ive seen old spongebob my age doesn’t matter. I’m agreeing with you, that modern spongebob jokes are forced and lazy
Not just the jokes, but entire episodes. Sometimes in Modern SB the show will make a character or other variable more of a jerk, dumb, or whatever aspect so it can convenience the plot. It’s like, instead of fitting the shape into the correct hole, they just force a shape into a hole it shouldn’t be able to fit in and call it a day.
This is definitely a real problem. So many of the jokes could work on paper, but they force it in as if the writers believe kids won’t get it unless it’s specifically told to them.
The clown joke, and even the ending with Patrick crying could’ve been great jokes if they didn’t just straight up tell you what the joke is.
I didn’t even know they had season 14 bruh😂😂

The clown funeral would have worked if he goes there thinking theres nothing funny. Then they just show the clown funeral with all clowns and spongebob just leaves without saying anything. I can’t believe they fumbled such an easy joke🤦♂️
6:30 Idk why but "after killing the two doctors spongebob laughs" was hillarious to me for some reason.
You can tell that SpongeBob’s voice sounds slightly off in these newer episodes. There is definitely something off with the way his voice is pitched. It doesn’t sound “full.” Tom Kenny still sounds like SpongeBob, but it’s like his upper vocals have gotten flatter. Either that, or he’s trying not to strain himself nearly as much on his pitch.
Its just new mic production
SpongeBob has turned into cocomellon YT kids levels of annoying randomness.
I HATE HATE HATEEEEE the “random” humor. Like its just not FUNNY especially when they use it as much as they do in modern spongebob

@@JohnBrian-wm8fw did you actually watch Bojack Horseman? Or did you just watch the first episode and based your ENTIRE opinion of the show off that.
Cause you know the series gets good after the first few duds. You just gotta prevail.
They just straight-up ran out of ideas, but instead of finally putting a merciful end to this dying show, they just are now reusing old ideas.
There’s gotta be SOMEBODY at Nickelodeon that believes this show needs to end someday, right?
It’s like the crying episode except with laughing
Modern SpongeBob is just a reason to animate fetishes
Your pfp makes you look like you love fetishes though
How did SpongeBob turn from such a funny show with SO MUCH replay value, i could watch the earlier seasons of this show over and over without getting bored, now i can barely make it through 5 minutes.
Bro, they turned that Spongebob laughing banner meme into an entire episode.
Modern SpongeBob: "😂😂😂 ahahahahah!!"
Older SpongeBob: "Sweet Neptune would you shut up!"
A lot of people are talking about Tom’s voice. It’s just age and it happens to everyone. I just think Tom can’t hit the highs of SpongeBob anymore or can’t do them long enough for a full session but it is still “SpongeBob enough” for me. Doesn’t really change the fact that the episodes aren’t good though.
he sounded relatively normal until like one specific line that made me go 🤨 and replay it a couple times bc it was just deep enough for me to be surprised that it was SpongeBob saying it
yeah it's when he says "nobody will hear me" around 3:46 . the first half of that sentence is fine too so it's just barely slipping
SpongeBob died like 8 years ago.
7:28 so.ething abiut spongebob saying "corpse" is weird. Like, are they allowed to say that on nickelodeon?
That's waaaay too odd
I liked when spongebob was just a happy positive guy and not a crazy, annoying psycho
I miss when MHA wasn't made for obnoxious kid lovers like you
Yo me too me too, the one with the boating license spongebob is like "can i touch it" like why they make him like this ;(
It’s like you took ear worm and funny pants and puked all over it and then took a massive watery poop on it
It also has this nitwiting season *12 vibes all over it
Fr
Spongebob should end the show with him becoming the world's best chef or something like that, so he becomes famous and really happy. And he's training other young people on how to be a good chef, too. Or he could finally get his boating license. Idk just something like a "happy" ending.
Most likely the show goes on until it gets canceled cause of a massive controversy.
I like to imagine the first SpongeBob movie as the finale in the SpongeBob episode timeline. Thing is, if there were any episodes that are supposed to take place after the movie, there would be the KK2 and SpongeBob as the manager of it. But that’s never even thought about in the show, let alone directly mentioned. In fact, Stephen Hillenberg _wanted_ the movie to act as the final episode in the SpongeBob timeline.
Well....the first movie was meant to be exactly that. SpongeBob became his own manager.
1:24, Alright, who let Dan Schneider on the writing team?
The foot stuff is a trademark Nickelodeon can't afford to lose.

Laughing like that is actually a disorder. And it exist irl
I mean Joker already introduced people to chronic laughing disorder. Much better representation of it than this episode.
@@marcohidalgo1101 yeps 🤟
I rewatched Funny Pants and although I'm not a fan of season 4, I'm shocked how much better we had it back then. Coherent story, funny faces kept to a minimum, occasional good jokes. 20 years has not been kind to this show.
Season 4 was great.
Also the end of that episode is very random.
Most of Season 4 was actually kinda solid and Ridiculously Overhated. The problem is the BAD episodes (Good Neighbors, Funny Pants, All That Glitters, Squid Wood, The Gift of Gum etc…) we’re significantly worse than the Worst Pre-Movie episodes (I’m with Stupid, Grandma’s Kisses, Dumped, Great Snail Race, All Season 3 Specials etc…) which hinted that the series was in decline

5:20 everyone in this scene looks insane man
It reminds me a lot of the ending from Face Freeze.
Nice to see you back
Also I wonder why the writers can’t understand that SpongeBob isn’t Ren and Stimpy. I can’t stand the weird and exaggerated humor. However, in my eyes, Season 1 - 3 are the canon seasons, and the first movie is the true ending. It’s sad that Nick is milking a once amazing cartoon and turning it awful. I don’t care if people are sad when it ends. It just needs to. The show's creator died, and most of the voice actors/actresses are getting older, yet they just don’t care. So Nick, please, just let this show end already.
when was spongebob underrated like ever
@@explicitcommentsThat’s an intentional mistake. I’ll go back and edit it, thanks for the reminder
Season 4 and 5 are overhated
A lot of the crew who worked on Ren and Stimpy went to work on SpongeBob following the show’s cancellation. But half of em are old asf now and probably retired by now. These new writers/animators are on some other shit. They don’t gotta clue on how to properly tell the difference between SpongeBob and an old Bob Clampett cartoon now.

This show has run it's course.
"The BAD New SpongeBob Episode"
Me: "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?!"
This episode seems even more unsettling than just another random Spongebob episode popping in from the get-go. The other fishes at the beginning were all greenish, Spongebob's faces when he tries to hold in his laughs, and take that the entire episode of Spongebob laughing at many real-world situations we see today; poor customer service, an operation (whether if life-threatening or not), and even him laughing at a funeral. What scares me the most is that his whole face becomes a literal wide mouth agape, laughing 24/7. If I were Nickolodeon, this episode should be banned. It is so uncanny and out-of-normal, that I would rather consider this a CREEPYPASTA.
It feels like they're running low on budget or at least they're making their budget Tighter and Tighter to try and make as much profit as possible because the fishes in the previous episodes all had different colors and even unique patterns and all that our stuff and now they all just look the same SpongeBob and Patrick look extremely oversimplified not even blinking as much as they used to do it's kind of sad really and SpongeBob sounds completely different
Are they trying to _kill_ Tom Kenny with episodes like this?! The dude's voice is going away fast.
Never watching new spongebob again.
These new episodes never fail to disappoint at every corner. There isn’t a single joke in these newer episodes. It’s all slapstick, but without the comedy. Just makes you wish that they’d finally put this show to rest.

Modern Spongebob could be good if it just used exaggerated faces, annoying sounds, yelling, weird moments, and dumbed down characters way less. It just took everything and made it too much to take in at once, since nickelodeon thinks kids are stupid.

season 1-3 spongebob was episode after episode of beautiful, comfortable whimsical vibes, with the animation and style and music. It’s now the complete opposite, the whole show makes you feel uncomfortable and it’s just so hard to watch
This isn't ancient egypt. You didn't have to bury the writers alive in Hillenberg's grave
It seems like they're trying to chase the Bluey audience while thinking they'll keep their current audience just by putting in references to old episodes.
I hate SpongeBob since season 10. I hate the animation style and they stopped using the older background music. Can we get a normal animation style like „Fear Of A Krabby Patty“ or season 1-3?
Wait, i thought S10 is when they brought the old background music back? Didnt they stop that in S12?
Spongebob should've ended after Hillenberg was gone, they are just endlessly perverting his original idea. And for what? Nothing will match his original vision, Spongebob is just an unending cash cow that gets worse and worse as it goes on.
Oh noes! They are ruining the legacy of a guy who actually wanted the animation style to change and came back for the last few seasons! Almost as if writing changes each generation and you are just mad it isn't made for you anymore.
Remind me again why Nintendo fans are criticizing something as good as Modern Spongebob when all they have is bad Mario and Zelda games.
without having anything from this season, and agreeing with everyone you said about this episode, the robot chasing everyone in the hospital saying "haha I am the surgeon now" made me smile
Wonder if it's a nod to the Good Doctor "I AM A SURGEON!" meme.
The only thing funny about this episode is the frame at 6:57 it looks so memeable

6:47 that is exactly how the show makes Stephen look in his grave now smh. spongebob was dumb and silly as a character before but now I feel like spongebob is being tortured by these creators to do the stupidest things possible now I see why Stephen didn't plan on longevity for the show. Then spongebob has this laugh problem is fired from his job but there is no real solution he still can't go back to work n the problem was never really fixed just told embrace it basically. Wow 10/10 writing
he wasnt even dumb in the early seasons, just really dorky, naive and socially inept. thats why they made him a square. here they just make him really annoying and deranged
The difference between this episodes and Funny Pants is that in In Funny Pants. He tries not to laugh at funny things or else he thinks he will never laugh again. In this episode Spongebob can’t stop laughing and he is trying not to laugh in front of people because it would be awkward. Which honestly sounds like a pretty good concept for an episode.
Also, is it me or is the animation in the older seasons more smoother than in the newer seasons? I mean, at 3:41 he’s just sliding. And I remember seeing an episode that’s about the anchovies returning and I remember one part where the anchovies didn’t have animations for stepping out of the bus.
Better than propaganda cartoons like XMen 97 and Bojack Horseman who can't go five seconds without screaming about how "le white supremacy" bad or why we need to fight for random crap like climate change or how the gender pay gap is super duper important. How dare Spongebob be fun and non-political in a time where everyone is miserable and loathes their existence? How fucking dare Spongebob.
@@ballsmegee I don’t get your comment? Are you saying that Spongebob is a better cartoon because it’s doesn’t talk about political stuff? Because it is for kids? Those shows are for adults.
The fact that this made me appreciate Funny Pants, an episode that already falls completely flat compared to the original seasons. 💀 I really do understand that for some people this is enough, but man, to me the writing and creativity in these new episodes are at an all time low.
If this is enough for ppl the standards must be low
I'm really getting burnt out on the show and one of the main reasons is just the lazy episodes that are just older episodes. These recent seasons have been doing that a lot and it's so dull. I mean there's a couple I find unique and good but with S9 and 10 at least every episode felt fresh whether it was good or bad. S14 has been alright but I might not care to tune into the rest of the season... I'll just stick with the classics.

Tbh this, Yellow Pavement and Hot Crossed Nuts are the only ripoff episodes this show has.
@@Mike-fz2kh I'm talking about any episode including episodes that rehash pre-movie episodes like Squidiot Box and future episode PL-143. And on top of that you have these types of episodes and it seems to be a common theme especially for S13 and S14. There's a lot more episodes that are just similar to older episodes than the ones you listed.
I feel like S13 had some fresh ones but I agree yea
The sequel to the "you're fired" episode, where majority of it was Spongebob crying.
the iron lung device that replicates laughter from the Laugh Box episode is etched in my memory
and Stephen wanted his show to end before he passed away then when the movie (2004) came out it got way more popular , that was one of his wishes I guess they just took a big ol shxt on.
