Man, I remember that Stephen hillenburg’s biggest regret about this show was SpongeBob’s overwhelming marketing. He mentioned how he didn’t want the possibility of polluting the ocean with SpongeBob merch when it’s mass produced.
Shit dude :(
But now that he's no longer with us, there's nothing stopping Nickelodeon anymore. 😢
@@numbuh1507yep, they’re gonna keep running poor SpongeBoy into the ground :(
i swear i saw this exact same comment on a different video lmao
Basically the kids version of the simpsons except groening doesn't seem to mind
Drinking game: Take a shot every time a Spongebob video essay starts by saying that Spongebob is a character that needs no introduction
Waiting for the day someone says that Spongebob is a character that needs a lot of introduction and then doesn't elaborate.
@@houraisheperd9721 i'm gonna do this next time i talk about spongebob in a video now
Wait does saying that count as an introduction?
I’ve heard that quote so many times on UA-cam.
@@guacamolenightmaretv7720it ironically does
That press kit is actually super revealing, it sates clearly and canonically that Bikini bottom is definitely under Bikini Atoll confirming fan theories.
No kidding
Literally the first shot of every episode is the camera pointed at Bikini Atoll dropping down to Spongebob's house. The show even used the Operation Crossroads footage in the Pie Bombs episode, the actual detonation of the Baker bomb on Bikini Atoll. It was never a fan theory. Bikini Bottom was explicitly shown to be under the Atoll in the show.
@@chahleybrosfullsignal Right?? It was literally there in front of everyone, and people debated if it was bs or not. When its clearly true, because its RIGHT THERE
isn't the actual fan theory about how the characters from the show are the result of the nuclear testing done in bikini atoll?
It's mentioned in the show's pitch bible but yeah that too
What I find more interesting about the SpongeBoy thing is the fact that it was a pencil not a mop. Like, I’ve always heard it was a mop yet it’s actually a pencil
probably because kenny mentioned "like a mop or something", so everyone assumed it was a mop. it was only recently discovered to be from a pencil company, if I remember correctly
@luckynumber1358 especially in the Kid Leaves Stoop video essay about the subject.
@@luckynumber1358correct. it turned out to be a pencil using a previously existing character named SpongeBoy
Tom Kenny said it was a mop and repeated it for years, but I don't think he ever actually knew what it was, just heard chatter. Internet sleuths confirmed that it was a series of pencils, not a mop.
I just heard some of the blues clues Audio was found by defnotbozo🎉
As long as the Earth is still revolving around the sun, there will still be new pieces of SpongeBob lost media discovered and searched for all around the internet.
I'm not going to lie I thought this was a Evangelion reference at first
You could replace 'spongebob' in this sentence with nearly any franchise and it would still be true.. wild
@@thatonespinster Copypasta lol
@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 shhhh
You don’t say.
I think the reason Spongebob lost media is so popular is because even if you didn’t grow up with it. EVERYONE KNOWS SPONGEBOB. And seeing something that’s lost in such a big series is inherently intriguing.
That and the Spongebob Lost Episode was fun
I feel so OLD because I actually remember when Nickelodeon would show Astrology with Squidward around 2001 😂
I saw it in 2006 and recorded it with the German dub not knowing it would become lost media one day. Asumed it would be a bonus feature on one of the Spongebob DVDs one day but it wasn't.
@@DasArchiv There was SpongeBob The Pilot a Mini-Movie and the Square Shorts DVD on January 6, 2015, but even that did not include the Astrology with Squidward shorts. It only included the shorts released from 2006 to 2011. A fine selection for sure, especially since a lot of those shorts were not on DVD prior. But that DVD could have had a lot more shorts.
Plankton was very dramatic in his segment. Yes, Squidward wasn't doing that segment. I think he tied him up or gave him something to keep himself busy with.
What years would astrology with squidward play in?
@@jaytownhd3534
2000-2001 in the US and 2006-2007 in Germany
Ah, the foghorn thing: Back in 1999 I was a 17 year old Para (think slightly fancier babysitter, but less fancy than a nanny) and the kids I watched were allowed to watch Spongebob after school. The ending screen, at least in America, was always the Seagulls one, BUT, when the show was new they had a commercial bumper that used the foghorn that frequently played right after that. I think a lot of people have sort of transposed the two together. Like you, it always made me jump, but I was also old enough to know it wasn't a part of the end screen. Hope that helps a little.
That makes way more sense. People are still gonna act like its a mandella effect thing though lol
I think wed still need to find the commercial
No, it was indeed a part of an episode or segment. Probably can be found on a VHS somewhere.
Isn't SpongeBob's alarm clock a very loud foghorn?
@@viscount8388Don't you mean Mendoza effect?
Finally a lost media youtuber that doesn't put creepypasta ambience and music over every lost media piece to try to make it seem scary.
I was somewhat active in closing logos circles and on the CLG Wiki in the mid-2010s. One thing that always put me off about this community was the propensity of some members to lie and make things up for a goof. Since there were no restrictions on who could and could not edit the wiki, you'd have plenty of kids dreaming up random variants on logos that did not exist. Another trend in the community was to spoof existing logos in odd ways - for example, overlaying the music from one logo with another or inserting a cartoon character into a logo. I'm not denying the possibility that the United Plankton foghorn variant may exist, but there's a non-zero chance that it was just some 12-year-old's weird fib.
I mean they could be real. I was convicned the special MGM television variant for the Pogo special was a hoax until it got found earlier this year
Speaking of closing logos, I remember coming across a youtube comment of someone claiming to remember a version of the United Plankton Pictures where Squidward was holding hands with the plankton. I'm not sure if it's real, but I do remember the comment.
@@Danube-TV that is nonsense
@@JadeiteMcSwag Honestly, I don’t recall Squidward showing up there at all either. I’m just telling you what I remember.
@@Danube-TVYES!!! YES HOLY CRAP! I could have sworn there was one where they were all squidwards or something similar
The foghorn end roll was broadcast on TV in the early years of Spongebob - like maybe only the first season or two. The recreation is lretty close but the horn sound was very loud and obtrusive - startling, which is why I figured as a kid that they changed it to the seagull sound. It was kind of shockong during show transitions. I remember back during SpongeBob's original airings on US Nickelodeon (I never owned VHS or DVDs of SpongeBob) that you could tell the older episodes because they retained the foghorn noise and newer episodes had the seagull. They weren't converted for at least some time after they changed to the seagull. As well as the subtle change in the quality of animation. I would guess it is going to most likelt be found in refoedings of original runs of SpongeBob on Nickelodeon in the US, West coast and on DirecTV if that by chance makes a difference in what was broadcasted.
Source?
@@viscount8388 Me? I'm the source. This is very clearly me talking about seeing it myself in the early 00s.
@@marburuu111So did I lol... People may say “nah it’s not real” but we know better. And year you’re right, it was loud haha.
@michaelbullen3104 Yeah, people jumping to Mandela Effect are being lazy. Lost media researchers overall tend to be very off in being convinced that if they can't find something on Google, it's Lost or never existed.
Reading through the comments, people saying it might have been blended with an additional end cap card or with the beginning might be on to something as Nickelodeon used to run constant transitions between one thing and the next. It might not have been actually a part of the Spongebob Episodes but something that started after them every single time.
However, I would lean more towards the idea that it was an additional credit card tacked on at the end. Depending on when things were broadcast and by whom and what eas involved in production, cartoons could have multiple credit screens one after another back then. These wouldn't always translate from who needed credit during broadcasting and who needed credit on a VHS or DVD release.
I know for 100% certain I saw it on television as I have never owned a Spongebob VHS or DVD in my life. And, if the foghorn was dropped because it was loud and obtrusive and kids didn't like it (which seems to be a common theme), I'm sure they would have dropped it when they prepared the episodes for home releases.
This is one that is going to havd to be found by finding digitized VHS recordings of Nickelodeon broadcasts from the early early to mid 00s. Also keeping in mind it aas not every single episode. There was a time where older episodes had the horn and newer episodes had the seagulls and they overlapped. I would guess maybe whenever they remastered or edited the epsisodes for a home release, they might have started airing the odler episodes recut with sea gulls.
@@michaelbullen3104my grandma had 6 episodes recorded on tapes for her grandchildren (me and my sister) when we come over for Bible school, and the last episode is culture shock and fun and those that had the foghorn. But she got rid of those in the mid 2000s
I think I know what the "fog horn" variant is. My brother was watching some old nick bumpers from 2000 (or 2001, I didn't quite see the title) on UA-cam just a few days ago. It was the closing credits of Ren and Stimpy and it was advertising the Amanda Show. The Amanda Show theme in the advert played over the "Games Animation" logo, followed by a Nickelodeon logo with a loud fog horn sound effect (though I could've miss heard, I just remember it being fairly loud and deep). I think that's what people are confusing it for, if at one point SpongeBob episodes were aired with that variant of the Nick logo.
EDIT: Ok, so I keep trying to reply, but my replies are getting automatically deleted for some reason. I'll just edit the message here.
So I got back with my brother, and he showed me the vid he was watching. I skipped to the part where I heard the noise, and I can safely say that it isn't a foghorn. I actually can't quite tell what the sound is. Though, I was right about the Amanda show theme playing over the Games Animation logo, so there is a possibility the foghorn might've been a part of a promo that was shown at the end of SpongeBob that played over the United Plankton logo.
The video is "Nickelodeon Commercials - Ren & Stimpy - 2000" if you want to check for yourself.
I do want to state I also found a version of the seagull variant from a December 2001 recording (the video is "Nickelodeon Commercials - December 2001"), so that narrows down the timeline of when the variant might've been. Possibly between mid-2000 to late-2001.
Omg I hope he sees this
I don't think that's it. The foghorn blared while the plankton were still on screen.
@Hauntaku Do you not remember the Era of commercials playing in a little box during the end credits?
I remember the foghorn variant, it was loud and obnoxious. Can you find the video and let me know? I want to hear it to see if it's the same horn I remember or not. My memory isn't infallible but I'm curious about if your theory is right or not!
I think I also remember this United Plankton "fog horn" variant as I use to watch tons of Nick when back in the early 00s, could be false memory tho.
I figured that the "SpongeBoy" audio was probably recorded, since a cel from the pilot with SpongeBob wearing a "SpongeBoy" name tag managed to survive.
Nice profile pic
YES!! A Homestar Runner Fan!!
Actually little fun fact on the Spongeboy audio, some of the animation was probably reshot when his name was changed to Spongebob from Spongeboy, BUT a remnant can still be found, a scene that probably wasn't reshot with the new name in mind. In the scene where Spongebob's running up to the Krusty Krab saying "go Spongebob, go Spongebob, go self!", if you actually read his lips, it looks as if he's saying Spongeboy rather than Spongebob. I know that sounds insane but genuinely, look up the scene and you'll see, it looks like he's saying Spongeboy, potentially making it one of the oldest scenes of the original cut that was animated and not reshot.
You're absolutely right holy crap
Yeah, it doesn't line up with the audio and his mouth looks like he is saying boy.
Give me Yo’r dog
I looked up on prime "help wanted" I don't know if this is the right episode if it isn't please correct me but Patrick only says "Go spongebob" once and it looks like he is saying "Bob" but I don't think I have the right episode.
@@apupper.9283 nah that's the right episode but you're looking at the wrong part, its where there's a shot of him running up towards the restaurant
Boy spongebob has to be the mascot of lost media
It's at that perfect intersection between being popular enough for people to care, being old enough to be nostalgic, and being new enough for the lost media to still be pretty fresh in people's minds.
True
@@megaspit yup
I'd love to spend a day with him sometime.
@@toamatoro570me too
I remember hearing that Tom Kenny interview from Kid Leaves Stoop's 'The Sponge Boy Mop™ Does Not Exist' video.
Also, in the first season of SpongeBob, a lot of the characters would refer to SpongeBob as just 'Sponge'.
So they either took the existing audio, and cut out Boy in SpongeBoy. Or they rerecorded the lines before they settled on a name (That being SpongeBob obviously)

"Ain't Life A Beach" Is using a Font called PlayHouse which was used a lot during the Early 1990's and the Early 2000's
spongebob would've remembered most of these lost medias if he didnt forget most of his memories 💀
Lmaooo
The kamp koral and Patrick star show memories aren't canon so the lost media stuff is not apart of those fabricated memories
@@ashmander3465 no, i'm talking about the main show.
@@ashmander3465 in older episodes, there was a part where spongebob dumps all his memorys and only remembers "fine dining"
@@michaeltherobloxfan That was the *exact* episode that came to my mind when I first read your comment lol.
Oh man, seeing the rehydrated thing flung me back to when the Nicktoons channel was launching. I always wondered what was up with SpongeBob flying in shades but never seeing a ep with that in it. Now I know. Thanks
Interesting that the game studio came up with the Rehydrated name for the remake that released recently. Wonder if they knew it had been used before.
I’ve been really into lost media things, and knowing that my mom likes to hoard a bunch of things makes me think that there is a slight possibility that we may have a piece of lost media somewhere that is stored away with the rest of our stuff. I plan on asking her to look through them all sooner or later so I can prove my thought on maybe having a piece of something important :D
I’ll update this when I ask her
Be sure to keep the square tab out of the vhs. When it's out, it won't record over your vhs tape. Good for avoiding accidentally recording over something.
As a diehard SpongeBob fan, I hope this gets found!

I love that people still remember my SpongeBoy Ahoy intro and the millions of random iterations people made of it. THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM
Congrats!!
The Tom Kenny audio you're looking for is in the UA-cam video "The Spongeboy Mop Does Not Exist." That's how we know the offending product was a pencil and not a mop.
Pretty sure that interview audio was used in a video that debunks the whole SpongeBoy mop thing and clarifies it was actually a pencil. I feel like I've listened to it before. It *was* the source of people saying SpongeBoy was copyrighted by a mop company, cause Tom Kenny didn't remember well what kinda product it was in the first place
It was
That is the exact same audio, such a shame to has to be downloaded nowadays for listening to in full.
@@andykishore At least it's not lost
I was expecting the lost SpongeBob audio you were talking about to be the full version of that snippet of audio recorded by Tom Kenny and Stephen Hillenburg from before the pilot was finished. A snippet of it was on the SpongeBob season 1 dvd I think, supposedly from early in the show’s development, and it featured audio of a conversation between SpongeBob (voiced by Tom Kenny) and Squidward (voiced by Stephen Hillenburg). I’ve seen absolutely no one talk about this audio but it’s always been so interesting to me and wondering if a full version exists. If no one knows what I’m talking about then you might be more familiar with the animated version that was at the end of the SpongeBob Movie Rehydrated collab.
I have an original print box set of Season 1, I should check that out lol
@@Willowpostingthat probably won’t do much. The season 1 dvd is the only place the snippet of audio was released. And besides, the clip from the dvd is already online. I’m just wondering if there’s more to it than what’s heard.
I've definitely seen this clip around UA-cam before. I was on a binge of behind the scenes SpongeBob stuff after one video got recommended to me. I don't know who uploaded it or what the video is called but I distinctly remember what you're talking about because that's where I found out SpongeBob had been in production at least a year before I was born.
I could've sworn I've heard or seen that foghorn split-screen logo once in the 2010's and in some DVD releases
I could have sworn I've seen it too. I don't really know for sure or not, but I may need to look through some of my episode burned Spongebob dvds for it tho.
@@Doingo_Boingo do it
@@hokton8555 Alrighty then :)
I dont remember a horn at all
Same here
I remember the outro logo having the ship horn, waves and seagulls playing all at once. The horn would play initially and then the waves and seagulls would rise in volume quickly after, almost like the waves and seagulls were ducked to half their volume when the horn sounded at the beginning. As for the visuals, the horn would play during the plankton scene, then it would stop and when the Nickelodeon logo came on, the waves and seagulls would play.
Jesus the frequency you keep on releasing these essays is just insane, each one is a great little documentary with grappling writing and supportive editing, even for viewers unacquainted with the subject of lost media
Having detailed articles from the Lost Media Wiki written by others help.
*helps
oh my god. i remember the foghorn, it actually used to scare me as a kid as well when i watched dvd spongebob episodes. i owned quite a few from s1-s4 (some being special editions and having extra footage/BTS stuff) as a little kid because i didnt have cable, and watched them religiously lmao. i need to find those to verify if we're all actually crazy or not. i actually thought the foghorn has always been a part of the outro but i basically havent watched spongebob since watching those dvds as a little kid, but i definitely remember it.
If it’s on DVD then it shouldn’t be too hard to find.
@@flaminhotyoshi7403yeah, it honestly shouldn’t take long at all to find if it were on DVD, which makes me wonder if it actually was in a DVD release or aired at all
I have seasons 1-4 on DVD (1 and 2 being their original print box sets) and as far as I know they aren't on there. But that might be be ause they came out when SpongeBob was already an established brand.
There is a possibility it's on other, probably slightly older, DVDs as well.
The foghorn thing is absolutely a false memory or fan-fiction.
If you wanna be optimistic, the foghorn sound probably was from a promo or commercial that bled over to the closing logo.
Well, it was definitely a thing. I remember it being annoying and loud. I absolutely hate loud sudden noises so I remember it well. It might have been a bled over tho, that's completely possible!
if you don't remember it but are so certain that all of us who clearly remember it are not ONLY wrong but straight up lying about it, then you were either too old to pay much curious attention to such irrelevant details in things, OR you prob started developing your 1st memories after they stopped using that ending.
@@bitterman_ yep just like all the people who "CLEARLY" remebered Squidward turning into a snail
LIFES A BIT-
I like how creative this video is!! Keep it up!!
10:08 I just want to make a slight correction. The United Plankton Pictures, Inc. logo with seagulls chirping was only used in American TV airings, mainly from 2000 to 2006. The full official credits on international airings, streaming services, digital, and home media releases, the United Plankton Pictures, Inc. just has the end of the credits music playing.
I remember seeing that logo on television as a kid.
Is the united plankton pictures logo still present in modern SpongeBob TV airings?
@@jaytownhd3534 Umm... well I know present day Nickelodeon USA airings use on-screen credits while the episode is playing. However, several international countries airings still play the full official credits.
I own some lost spongebob animation cels from the episode Texas!! They belong in a museum honestly
Noice
Nice! Do you have any photos of them?
I can guarantee 100% the SpongeBob foghorn closing logo one is a Mandela effect. It never existed, people just remember it because the foghorn in SpongeBob is iconic, the ending logo is iconic, & misremembered a closing logo featuring them together. That's why many people remember it, because it sounds realistic. But if many people remember it & it _still_ hasn't been found, it's just a misremember-ation. I guess ultimately I have no proof but I'll bet all the money I have that it never existed.
Ive seen 2 different comments mentioning that it was apparently an insert that played AFTER the credits that used the foghorn sound, so people are misremembering the credits and this ad insert as one thing
Lmao you 100% guarantee because that's what YOU want to believe. Plenty of us remember it very clearly, and the excuse of "they used the sound a bunch of other times too tho, so please let me project my own poor unreliable memory to everyone else instead!" is lame af and offers absolutely zero substance as legit argument for anything related to stock sound-effects lol. That recreation that was shown in the vid, albeit more subdued IRL, is exactly what it looked like (though the seagulls and ocean SFX still played vaguely in the b/g along with the foghorn)
@@bitterman_ Of course it is what I believe. Oh well man?
@@bitterman_ sure bud, just like Squidward turning into a snail for sure existed
the original pilot audio was actually found, but sadly lost again. someone found the full original spongeboy ahoy storyboard with the original audio but nickelodeon requested that it was deleted and sadly, it wasn't archived very well and become lost media once again.
interesting, do you happen to have any proof that it was actually found? I've heard that the audio existed for years, but there was never any tangible proof other than things like the spongeboy nametag animation cell.
I don't necessarily remember the united plankton logo ever having the fog horn sound, but I do remember that around that time there was a nickelodeon logo screen that used a foghorn sound or some kind of horn sound
I swear I’ve heard the fog horn variation as well! That recreation of it sounds so familiar. I hope that gets found along with everything else mentioned ^^
I feel like I’ve heard the foghorn variant before. The problem is is that I was a child and the foghorn sound was used in the show a lot. It could just be a Mandela effect.
It could also be in the older shows that was later replace as some say but that I’m unsure.
Omg i love your Lost video videos thank you for inspiring me to join the community
I can 100% confirm to you guys that the foghorn variant was very much real, as here in Canada, on YTV, it was cheaper to keep the original masters of the episodes aside from getting updated ones, so we had some of these versions of these s1-s2 episodes with the foghorn. I dunno the exact logistics of when they started and stopped using this foghorn thing in the united plankton logo in the US but I could have swore they did it up until around 2006 or so over here... Could be wrong. I have this very vivid memory though of being a very small child and wondering whether “this episode would have the foghorn or the seagull”. The foghorn variant still had seagulls but they were less loud, and were after the foghorn. And it was legitimately LOUD. It was jarring and kinda freaky. Made the recreation look kinda tame in comparison. The foghorn episodes aired less here, and we still had many episodes that had the seagulls as well from s1-s2 at the time. But the foghorn variant was prevalent at one point and I remember the sound so vividly... I have goosebumps right now lol... I have absolutely no idea what their method was in terms of obtaining these different masters... But the foghorn went away entirely after my brother was born, and for all these years I had wondered whether anyone remembered it... This is nutso... I’m not crazy and I didn’t dream this stuff up, what an actual relief man. Here’s to hoping it turns up. Check those recordings people you’ve got a mission now. People here are saying “iT dOeSn’T eXiSt iT’s A mAnDeLa EfFecT” but nah man I know better than that
I’m Canadian yet I never heard it-
It’s because I don’t watch cable that much
I was 10 in 06, and honestly I think I may have seen it, but I just can't recall. I have this odd memory of being in our living room on the couch, half asleep and hearing it, but that could've also easily been SpongeBob alarm at the beginning of an episode, or a bumper or ad. YTV definitely did a lot of playing ads through the credits back in the day.

@@flurpoid I honestly don't remember much other than it was a big SpongeBob that was mostly rubber. I think he might've had interchangable faces?
lol the talk about the after credit foghorn thing reminded me of watching spongebob back when it was netflix, for some reason i remember the background being dark with purple lines in the shape of flowers, instead of the yellow bg with white flowers, i dunno if its just false memories but still i legitimately remember seeing a different look on the credits for netflix specifically lol
i remember watching the episode of squidward turning into a snail. he ate gary's food or something and became a snail, and spongebob did aswell. then they looked into the sunset meowing
I think the split screen credits and the closing logos are the coolest ones. The 1999 and 2000s ones are my favorites since it's when the show was so new.
Split-screen promos of the credits from late 2000 to early 2001 did use the music from the original credits song, but sometimes the music from promotions during the credits would leak onto the logo and play until the nickelodeon productions logo ends. An example is from November 24, 2000; where in some cases, the credits song would be replaced with "Who Let the Dogs Out"
It might be a case that a SpongeBob promo played during the credits and had the foghorn sound played over the logos.
Ya know what would be cool, if you could locate one of the prototype Tamagotchi Garden devices, it was announced and devices were shown off at Toy Fair '98, but they cancelled it before release. Similarly, but not as far in development, the Osutchi and Mesutchi were patented for EU release but never came out.
I love your SpongeBob needs no introduction introduction you use on SpongeBob themed vids
the weird thing of it is, is that I remember hearing the foghorn from one of the dvd's I own. I haven't watched it in years, but I have a feeling it might've been used during friend or foe time period, I can't say for sure as I did have the episodes keep going.
The Fog horn version i believe was on a vhs release, i can't pin point which vhs but i do remember hearing it as a kid from a vhs version my grandparents had. This either being the Halloween variant or the bikini bottom bash variant, Or the sponge that could fly variant!
now i really feel like the foghorn was initially there. i thought about how it scared my younger self when going off. then hearing your mutual sentiment reassured me theres at least something to it, as i share many similarities from those early distant memories
I had a SpongeBob DVD I used to watch all the time, that I’m pretty sure had the foghorn audio instead of the seagull audio. I don’t know if I still have the DVD, and if I do, I probably won’t be able go get at it for a while.
Edit: the DVDs were, IIRC, “Nautical Nonsense/Sponge Buddies”, and “Tales from the Deep”.
Same! I swear I remember hearing a foghorn ending as a kid! (Slightly different sounding then the recreation you played in this video)
There was a youtube video by Kid Leaves Stoop that talked all about the spongeboy mop not existing. It probably showed up on your youtube recommended at one point. He discovered the origin of the pencil itself. He already had the radio recording had you not found it yourself sinve its well documented.
To be fair to Tom Kenny he said “or some other kind of product”
Hey at, 11:46 I never watched spongebob as a kid but im very intrested in it now juts because of this type of stuff, but i remember being younger and the only episode of spongebob i ever watched was at a friends house i i very vidly remember this fog horn being used at the end. Just thought that was cool, Love the videos by the way
i also remember hearing the foghorn but it was more on the dvd releases i owned than the actual channel and i think sometimes i end up hearing it at the end of the older episodes on paramount plus
I played videos of astrology with squidward to my older brother (who remembers when spongebob first aired) and he laughed hard. He was surprised when I told him that it used to be lost media, which surprised me because I assumed that he would have seen at least one of the segments.
I'm always impressed by the amount of interesting stuff that I discover in your videos, it's so amazing, Spongebob has always been one of my favorite cartoons and there is a lot of media that has existed related to it. I hope that someday you may speak about Spongebob (or US Cartoons) Lost media that was created for the Latin American market, I know that we have a lot of those, some that people here may not remember
Have you considered looking into regional differences? I seem to remember the horn sound, but I think it was paired with the Nickelodeon logo with black background. In the Netherlands most episodes would skip the credits, that's done for most shows, but I think they did skip to the United plankton logo directly at the end of the episode, with the horn sound. I'm sorry Im not a reliable source, since I don't have anything to back it up, but maybe this could continue the search, good luck
I don't know if, when nor how i saw it but the spongebob matrix animation feels ever so slightly familiar, but not familiar enough to a point where i can pick out anything other than what was said.
If i did see something like it, i don't know if it would of been in some lost media related topic because this must of been years before i was into lost media.
some details i (if i did actually see this or not in the flesh) can remember is the animation being in 3D and spongebob & patrick wearing black clothing.
I really don't know on this one, but you talking about the clip sparked something so deep inside of my mind, i could of just seen this in some lost media compilation and that I honestly could just be putting out false information without knowing.
A really good video was made by Kid Leaves Stoop about how there never was a SpongeBoy Mop and about how there were SpongeBoy Pencils instead (Cool Art SpongBoy Pencils to be exact). It is really interesting. The video also brings up Tom Kenny's Interview about the situation.
It’s more surprising to me that the Spongeboy Mop claims were actually sourced.
The sponge boy mop didnt actually exist, another youtuber (dont remember who) actually found out it was a pencil company instead and thats why in the wikipedia it said pencil instead of mop
I watched a clip of the original Sailor Mouth audio a few years ago. I will try to find it, it was called get out of me restaurant! and had the thumbnail of Mr krabs yelling. I will post a comment with a link if I find it.
I found some 'uncensored' sailor mouth but it was fake.
oh and it's Cityscape i'm using another account
I love those orange slide frames.
Those press kits certainly look cool.
I know right? But their rarity probably means we wouldn't see them anymore soon sadly.
The closing logo with the fog horn is one I remember now after it being mentioned.
as for the foghorn closing logo, i absolutely remember it. I suggest someone look up for early recordings of nickelodeon south america
I remember hearing the foghorn! I still have a bunch of Spongebob VHS tapes, I'll have to rewatch them and see if it shows up in the credits. I remember hearing it on older episodes, so I'll look through what I have!
this thing about the foghorn got me... because I remember very clearly hearing it, maybe it wasn't played in the original dub, but perhaps it was included in the dubbing for other languages?
im from Brazil, and I remember hearing it on Brazilian Nickelodeon.
or maybe Ive fallen into the Mandela Effect, I dont know
i’m from mexico and i also remember it pretty clearly! i really think it might be a regional difference thing
@@annygotchiim from chile and i think we always had the credit song playing at the credits, no sound effects, or maybe the foghorn stopped playing when i was born (2004), so if the credits w/ foghorn exists, we should watch recordings of the show before that year (no official dvd releases, since people in the comments said that credits there have the seagull version)
I felt the exact same way you described feeling about the foghorn variant. It made me feel uneasy.
12:40 I think I rembered a foghorn being played either above the seagull sound but was shorter than the seagulls, or right before the end logo popped up. Though like others said it might be a mandela affect.
What would be a great pleasant surprise twist in behalf of nickelodeon, is if a certain amount even if its very small of each spogebob merchandise sale to go into coral reef restoration projects. It would not only make them one of the probably only tv company to help the environment. If there is a tv company that does similair things you can correct me. But also would help the ocean out actively, it would make their image over disney and who knows maybe even more tv companies start to jump in to help the earth to recover
I remember when SpongeBob came out, and I was a faithful watcher in the early days. Not once can I recall the fog horn ending. It's always been seagulls or the end credit music.
Honestly my mind was questioning if I ever heard a foghorn, and while I have a vague memory of being surprised once during the logo, it's been seagulls usually for me. Credits music i forgot about until today lol, Seeing a compilation made me remember lol
Wouldn’t surprise me if people just had the idea planted in their minds. There are things like the JBVO DBZ thing (proven to exist) which I distinctly remember because I like Johnny Bravo and watched it regularly as well as JBVO. I remember Johnny saying “I can’t play the whole thing because of the lengthy nature…” and then doing that commentary over the episode sped up. I’m glad it was found. But in the case of the fog horn thing, I also don’t remember it having watched SpongeBob regularly on TV around the time the series began.
Great video
My mom has old SpongeBob VHS's my siblings and I used to watch. Would the VHS version have those end credits? Maybe I could check those for the foghorn thing? Definitely seems familiar. I know we had the Deep Sea Sillies VHS (I specifically remember Just One Bite as being one of our favorite episodes).
about the foghorn closing logo, i remember seeing that! not sure where since i was born after when the foghorn variant was used, maybe a DVD recording of some sorts. but i’m not sure if i actually saw it or my brain is making it up. it seems like this could be another mandela effect since it’s really easy to image seeing a variation like that when you were really young
I am from South America. I do remember the United Plankton quite differently. I remember the credits theme song playing throughout the entire credits, even during the UP logo and the Nick Logo at the end. I do remember an instance in an episode (In which Sandy misses Texas/Plankton convinces Spongebob to bully people to empty Goo Lagoon) in which the credits roll music was replaced by a "Pirate Version" of the Spongebob intro song, which ended with the sound of cattle roaring (I used to call it the "Dinosaur Credits")...could it be possible there is no foghorn and people just remember the cattle sounds from that one credits in particular??
Before you even said what the closing credit noise was I thought "well it's a foghorn" maybe this was something only done in certain parts of the world? Idk but I 10000% remember the foghorn regularly being used on the UK broadcasts
It never was, it's a stupid Mandela effect.
I think there might be a deleted scene in Karate Choppers that aired when it premiered. In the Season 1 DVD commentary for the episode, it is stated that a scene where Sandy karate chops a fish in the groin was cut. What makes me believe it was included in the premiere is that this episode and its sister episode, SB-129, were pulled out of rotation for a year after their premiere for no given reason.
That sounds like something familiar to me. I dont know if my mind is making something. Interestingly, looking up Karate Choppers air date, it says december 31 1999. I do remember being awake for the new years change. Which leads me to think, it's possible i may have seen the premiere hours before new years.
I may have to debunk that because I remember seeing SB-129 sometime in the fall of 2000, for the very first time. 🤷♂️
@@stevarino1989 Well, that lines up with it being out of rotation for about a year, since it originally premiered on New Year's Eve 1999.
@@stevarino1989 Interestingly on SB-129 airdate, it appears different air dates for some countries, according to the Encylopedia Spogebobia.
Says in USA, it says 1999. But Canada shows premiere as September 2000.
@@MoarBob How did it go out of rotation? Did it just stop playing Nickelodeon?
In regards to Re-hydradeted, this short only aired during a special marathon and I think it only aired once during the marathon. There's a very small chance that a recording of it exists. I saw it, but don't remember too much.
Also the foghorn was real, but it wasn't used for very long. A lot of commentors have already gone onto detail about it, so I won't go into detail here.
The interview with Tom had been around for a while now, but too many were focused on how he referred to the Spongeboy product as a mop, not the pencil, which as you probably already know made the search for MopBob as i like to call it even more exciting, however they didn't seem to care for him saying that they recorded the pilot as spongeboy
Interesting you had to jump through hoops to get the radio interview audio when Kid Leaves Stoop's video on the Spongeboy Mop had it as well. Either he had to go through the same process, or it went down between his video and yours.
I remember seeing one of those kits in my childhood, no idea where it is now.
I was just watching ur last video until I refreshed and this video popped up
I was just watching that one BFDI my name is chicky video and then this popped up in the end
I'm sure a lot of the Nick Kids Choice Awards shows have been saved, but what about Nick Presents or whatever it was called? I remember Patchy chatting about Spongebob and showing off a few good things and there should be something tying that to the matrix clip which was about 2 minutes long. The Spongebob alternate end card logo was probably in the Spongeboy pilot, but I remember seeing it on TV. The logo was Cartoon Network like and/or had a different plankton pattern. It had dim colours and blared the foghorn going "buhwurrr" and I think it cut to Patchy shortly after. BTW the Squidward becomes a snail was maybe a gag for one of these Patchy clips but it's been years and my memory is foggy.
i used to watch spongebob on dvds as a kid, so i could check if i found them, but i feel like it could be true that there were alternate sounds at the end!
edit: i just looked through the two dvds i could find (home sweet pineapple and tales from the deep) and the united plankton pictures section was silent in one and the credits music just overlapped with the silence in the other
there was also a full animatic for spongebob's house party in one (i think it was tales from the deep but my memory sucks lol)
i will also note that there were a bunch of bumpers at the beginning of one of them and none at the start of the other. interesting little detail
For the fog horn thing, I remember watching it as a kid but it was reruns in the late 2010s that I remember, i vividly remember it cause literally each time I heard it I assumed they were going to advertise the Nick cruise and I was tired of seeing those commercials 😂
I'm not a member of the lost media community and I don't really care about lost media in general, but lost media related to SpongeBob interests me due to my childhood obsession with the show.
The foghorn outro seems so familiar now that its addressed here. Like i may have heard it before.
I absolutely remember one of those astrology with squidward segments from some old app or game or something, he was talking about astrology and was wearing a turban. I think it was taurus or sagitarious,but I hadn’t yet learned about astrology yet so im not sure. It was around 2014-2016 before 2019 but after 2013
Final Fight used as an example of a press kit? You won't believe how happy that makes me!
the radio recording of Tom Kenny confirming the Spongeboy pilot audio track’s existence was also used in Kids Leave Stoop’s video about the name change titled “The Sponge Boy™ Mop Does Not Exist”
no one cares
Everyone been talking about the foghorn in the SpongeBob Closing Logo music about the seagulls and foghorn. As someone who grew up on SpongeBob with cable TV and also VHS recorded tapes as well. I do vaguely remember hearing a foghorn kinda sound at the Closing Logo. I was looking through the forum surrounding the situation and they mentioned that the texas/walking small version of the ending credits and around the time the Closing logo is shown. You hear like a very deep loud moo which in my opinion closely resembles a foghorn and I do remember as a kid that specific tune playing during the walking small end credits and hearing it as well. I believe the Texas Walking Small Ending Credits soundtrack is the source of where the foghorn came from. It just sounds so eerie similar from when I was a kid. I think its the loud moooo that resembles a foghorn that people are vaguely thinking its a foghorn.
Something interesting I noticed, was that the recording you looked for briefly before rediscovering, had already been used as a titular point in another person's research about the "Spongeboy Mop" claims. Where Tom Kenny was, apparently the source of the misconception, they are also the ones (I believe) who discovered the fact that it was a pencil, not a mop. You can even read in the video that the wiki still says "mop", which I think is neat (probably isn't). However, they didn't mention that it was hard to find, or that the website was down, this could mean that it has only recently been shut down.
Originally, I made this comment because I recognized the recording as soon as I saw the link in the wiki article. I thought I could help find it (in this video: ua-cam.com/video/qnKtglBqe78/v-deo.html ) but since you already did, the information immediately became irrelevant, oh well, it's the thought that counts I guess.
To people willing to research the fog horn end card:
I'd suggest looking for original satelite or cable broadcast recordings in North America recordings beteeen 1999 and about 2003.
The foghorn and seagull versions were both used for some period of time and I remember the horns coming after older episodes with the murkier animation style in the earlier seasons.
My guess is that it was probably retweaked in preparation for the 2003 release of season 1 for home release. And I'm sure they decided to get rid of it in season 2 or 3 when producing new episodes because it was quite jarring and unpleasant.
Or, cartoons on Nickelodeon in that time would often have several different end card credits for different parts of production and distribution. Some of which would not necessarily need to be included in a home release.
When I was little, my dad had the whole box set of the 3 seasons which I remember the earliest ones did ACTUALLY have the foghorn in it. From what I can remember, atleast I think anyways, is that it kind of sounded a little ominous, and I think it might've had the the waves you hear in the background. My memory is not the sharpest because I was probably 4 to 5 at the time. I wish I could check now but he as long disowned me, so I have 0 contact with him, and also he lives in a completely different city.
@@ArchiverUnknown I agree. There was the sound of waves of water washing on a beach somewhere alongside the foghorn sound too
LSSQ intro makes me do a little happy dance on the inside and sometimes the outside. your content is legitimately one of my favorite things on the internet. lssq thank you for being awesome :3 Ily /p and i’m so happy you did some spongebob talk :3
I can remember the blow horn ending for SpongeBob. What I can still remember is it was played with the version at 10:16. Unfortunately I can’t remember much else about that.
i actually remember the foghorn thing at some point watching spongebob when i was younger,it had to of been earlier seasons of spongebob
I DEFINITELY remember a fog horn playing at some point either before or after a spongebob episode. It was already in my mind when you were talking about the Plankton end card.
