Spongebob Squarepants: Skin Theory
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 кві 2019
- One day when I was watching Spongebob, I noticed something bizarre. This thing was so bizarre that I decided to spend months analyzing every single episode of Spongebob Squarepants in search of answers.
What I ended up finding was a completely original and impossibly well-supported conspiracy theory that will destroy everything we have ever been told about Bikini Bottom.
The world needs to know the truth. This is the video that will change everything.
Watch at your own risk.

This gotta be the highest amount of effort someone has ever made for a shitpost
I don’t think it’s even a shitpost anymore, I think the creator was genuinely serious about creating a 1 hour theory for a kids cartoon (which doesn’t even matter since it’s a cartoon and it can defy logic) and taking the time to have an entire script and multiple clips to show the “disturbing” truth and theory of SpongeBob, in other words, wayyyy too much free time on their hands

@@rejectionrole1237 i see, either way, the effort put into this video is well beyond shit post and satire level

@@mak1b013 captured by the government
They killed him
He really did just dip after dropping such huge truth bombs. He was a man on a mission, and once he had achieved his goal, he vanished just as quickly as he appeared.
So nobody actually looked this up, right? It was just recommended to millions of people at the same time?
Yes it was recommended to me too
Yup...
Yeah and it came out a year ago
i looked it up actually. my friend told me about it
My friend just sent this to me at 10:00 I just started the video and we will see my thoughts in an hour when I finish and message em giving my thoughts
Anyone remember when sandy took off her fur and hung it up and plankton stole it and used it as an actual skinsuit and it looked fucking terrifying? All so he could pretend to be her and steal the formula? Like they even had her hollow eyes and sagging empty mouth.
Also “I’ve come for your pickle” is hilarious. I’m glad they added that.
A really good example of something that disproves the idea that there are just stores full of costumes of other people.
@@yeetusfeetus3059i think it still works, plankton is broke as hell so he wouldn’t have money to buy a suit. and sandy isn’t going to wear it all the time.
@@toastice2465 IIRC, Krabs constantly scams Spongebob out of money, I don't think he has enough money for full body suits. Patrick is not even shown to have a job, that I know of anyways, but he has enough money for a gorilla suit. Plankton is actually pretty intelligent, being a business owner, and a mad scientist. If making suits of people is common, I'm sure he could have done it. He just sucks at cooking.
Honestly, there are a lot of weird jokes in Spongebob and other cartoons that are repeated often, Skin Theory is nothing more than a complete overthinking of a dumb repeating visual gag in a cartoon kid's show. It's not a very solid theory, the whole thing comes apart once you think about it for more than 1 millisecond.
@@yeetusfeetus3059That doesn't disprove the theory that there's a store full of costumes at all. Whether you hate or love this video, there's no or little correlation. Maybe they just didn't have Sandy's skin or skin of the main cast or other various possibilities. At the end of the day I know you're just a contrarian troll and this video is a joke.
@@chocov5183 If there were stores full of other people's skins, why has Plankton, AFAIK, NEVER used one? IIRC, he took control of Spongebob AND stole Sandy's skin but for some reason the skin stores did not have their skins in stock throughout the entire runtime of the original 4 seasons? At the end of the day, I'm laughing at you. Learn what contrarian means before using it.
Something to add to this video (if it matters), there's an episode of spongebob towards the later seasons that I remember made my head spin where, at the end of the episode Plankton gets the krabby patty secret formula and exclaims "I always win!" and spongebob corrects him "No plankton you always lose." Then Plankton reveals he's not Plankton, but Mr Krabs. And Plankton was Mr Krabs in a robotic suit, but it wasn't the robot krabs, it looked and sounded exactly like Mr Krabs. Then Squidward reveals he was like, Patrick or something and the rest of the episode everyone tearing off their skin and revealing that they're other characters, including Sandy and even a background character/minor character at one point. Strange part is, we never learn who or what is underneath all of the fake skins. The episode ends with them all tearing off skins over and over and just, zooms and fades out while it continues. That's what confused me as a kid. Who was truly under all of the skins? Was Spongebob even in the episode? And if that was possible, who's to say spongebob is really in any of the episodes? Who's to say any of these characters are actually people in Bikini Bottom? Who's to say anyone in Bikini Bottom is a person with a life and family? How does anybody in this world ever start a life knowing that anyone could be anyone else underneath infinite layers of skins and voices?
That’s weird
Dude I remember this vividly. What episode is this??
Yeah, I remember this too. I was about to comment on this. I was surprised he didn't mention this episode bc this is the best example of the theory

This is probably my favorite youtube video ever. I have no idea if it's actually smart in a serious way, or if it's a brilliant parody of pretentious windbag video essayists endlessly mining pseudo-meaning from media meant for children. This needs to be in the library of congress. It makes me want to write a work of secondary criticism about it.
It is weirdly genius
If it's satire, it might be the greatest video essay parody of all time. I really hope this isn't a serious video.

The most disturbing part of this video was that he felt the need to explain that a live salmon doesnt look the same as what a cooked salmon looks like on a plate
for real
Why point out that SpongeBob parallels human society then proceed to assume the salmon skin is real flesh instead of something akin to a Halloween costume?
or like, a mascot costume....
also, salmon. ARE pink during spawning season
“So let’s say, hypothetically, for the sake of the argument, the fish aren’t fish and wear fish skin.”

@@techno_tuna 3:38
I love how in real life, the salmon suit scene is basically somebody wearing either a muscle costume or a skeleton costume. The rest of the video is straight up terrifying tho
Squidward wearing the Salmon Suit is just like Jake being worn by Finn, or the Jacket Jacket fruit from One Piece. Very disturbing indeed
Sockeye salmons are actually pink, don’t think he did the best research on that part.
20:42 We pretty much see this exact same thing in a later season. Patrick goes to a clinic with a bunch of noses on the wall, picks one out and gets it surgically attached.
the fact that this man made an hour long video called “spongebob squarepants: skin theory”, then disappeared, scares me.

This is prolly one of the most important videos in youtube, it adds to the content its talking, it feels hilarious, yet misterious, also somehow you can convince a person of this and i don't think the creators would mind. I trully believe that sometimes in the creative process of the show, someone during those meetings would burst in laughter and say "what if he was wearing a costume of another fish?" and the cast would explode
Mf just came into our lives and said "Yeah, skin theory" and then dipped

literally he’s asking me why the writers did things like have characters rip limbs off of each other and how no other tv show could’ve gotten away with this and i am like “...because it’s spongebob???” i mean, maybe it’s because ive watched this show my entire life but its like...none of these things seem out of the ordinary or peculiar to me.

As far as the salmon point goes, you could argue that since bikini bottom is in the ocean and salmon can't habitate in salt water it's almost like a weird crossover museum-like exhibition suit.
I watched this and fell asleep and let me tell you, vaguely hearing “they’re wearing flesh” in your dreams is worse than hearing it while you’re awake

He was more a monarch, however Poseidon can be seen warping and cutting holes in the fabric of reality, much as a god would
@@epiclolman57 Season 1 Neptune was a god (he repeatedly calls himself a god) but the first movie's Neptune was a King.
Maybe Season 1's Neptune is the other one's father or something. Maybe the movie Neptune is a half god and it's a hercules situation. Or maybe more of a Jesus situation. Who knows.
there are literally two neptunes and a Poseidon. Series Neptune who is a god, same as poseidon, and 1st Movie Neptune who is a king. This is due to the movie holding rights that Nick didn't have for a long time, but those are two separated characters with two different families and roles and hinted to have some kind of feud that should be shown soon.

Patchy the pirate: *sad pirate noise*
True, but the segments of the show with Patchy The Pirate in it are clearly set on land and in the world and life that we live it. As we we see celebrities like Pink in the episode that I forgot the name of (sorry bout that). In Said episode the real actors are playing it and it confirms it is in our life that we live in. Yes, as much as patchy is just as much of a loveable goofball as the rest of the cast. We never see him in bikini bottom, but either above it or on the island shown on the title screen
@@thecheesepants526 I think the episode with Pink in it is Truth or Square but I'm not too sure
The only time patchy is in bikini bottom is in truth or square but it's when he gets knocked out so he was just dreaming everything
With power like his. You could barely call him human
What about Hasselhoff in the movie?
This theory is fascinating on so many levels! I think the nuclear radiation theory is very possible considering Bikini Bottom is literally a reference to Bikini Bottom Atoll which is known for testing nuclear warheads. Also Goo Lagoon could technically exist as there are undersea lakes/oceans, but nothing that enters would survive (only extremophiles are the exceptions) because of the immense pressure and high salinity levels. My mind was blown looking back at all my favorite episodes and just realizing the ridiculous number of costume related shenanigans that I just totally ignored. Thank you for discussing this! I think one possible reason to support the humans in costume theory is because Hillenburg loved the ocean and we've been doing a poor job of keeping it clean. Having people pretend to be fish would make perfect sense if alluding to a future where all marine life is dead either from nuclear bombs, pollution, or climate change. The level of satire for something so apocalyptic is stunning.
Thats actually a sub theory in itself lol that due to nuclear bombs pollution etc humanity would wear fish suits to live underwater as like above ground like having the suits gives humans the ability to breath under water and create gravity. That would make sense to counter some of his points cause steven hillenburg created the show to hopefully make people have respect for the waters and not have it filled with garbage. Cause if the waters is filled with garbage and the ground is unlivable living underwater isn't a option for humanity's survival
20:09 yeah Im pretty sure the whole joke about this one scene was that this guy has an unfitting, weirdly small head, so he went to the head enhancement clinic to, well, enhance is head. to get a bigger head. the rest of the body is real.

An interesting thing that I’d like to add is if this were to be thought of alongside the nuclear radiation theory, it should be noted that skin peeling off and completely falling off the bone is actually a symptom of severe radiation poisoning. In that sense, the normalization of skin suits could have just been the result of mass skin graftings, and the suits themselves ripping could either be due to said radiation or a failure to replace the damaged skin. It would also explain the multi-layered skin suits, as the rate of failure for the graftings would evidently be high.
There are some inconsistencies with this idea of mine, such as the fact that such an extreme level of radiation would logically just outright kill everyone who was affected, and that it doesn’t explain some of the more obscure instances like the gorilla in the Patrick suit. However, I thought this was a neat concept, so I thought I should share it.
Doug made an excellent, hour long video essay on a truly bizarre aspect of SpongeBob on a whim, amassed almost 10 million views, and casually revealed he has no plans to make more videos. He just came out of nowhere, dropped a banger video, and left. What an absolute legend

This just randomly popped up in my recommended and I watched the whole thing. I'm not sure how I feel, but this is one of the most insane things I've ever watched, and I mean that in a positive way. Like, I never expected someone to do a deep dive into spongebob skin-wearing culture. The idea is wild, and honestly, great video, man! Thanks for making my night interesting ❤
I do think some of the examples are convincing, especially those with no plot/comedic value, but...
1. A lot of the examples are just personification and exaggeration, which are two very common themes in animation.
2. Salmon is pink. Larry and Mr. Krabs is also red. Children are just more familiar with their cooked counterparts than their live counterparts.
3. Mr. Krabs, like actual crabs, has an exoskeleton that molts... that's not really a skin suit.
Yeah, actually none of these examples are something really weird.
Except for the nose shop in episode “fun”. That is something strange imo

This theory is a sub theory of Magical Realism and doesn't just apply to sponge bob but all children's cartoons.
Maybe because he made his first appearance after season 4? idk man

Same
@@upon.my.liars.chair. it's the underlying disturbing nature of the show. I mean people wearing other people's skin (or I guess fish in this case) isn't really a cute topic lmao. It makes you sit on funny things that are horribly disturbing, like the origin story of the original "Jeff the killer" photo. Ugh, I really need to bleach my mind.
@@Alex-yy3sk you watched the iceberg video, didn't you? lol
Can we talk about the fact that Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy are the same height as the fish (and a squirrel)?
This is the greatest video I’ve ever accidentally stumbled across, it just tops off the magical experience of growing up with SpongeBob.
The fact that he created this masterpiece, made it have zero ads, and then disappeared proves that this guy is a time traveler that knows something we don’t.
He was probably killed by nickelodeon to stop any further explanation on this theory
The creator of spongebob came back from the dead to stop him in his tracks

“Stop him in his tracks” - a wise cactus
"But when they needed him the most he vanished"
Spongebob eats his own arms. He has an entire bucket full of spares.
Yeah but also he's a sponge which can regenerate. They make roughly the same joke several times (like when he rips his own skin off and it's still just him).
I was literally JUST thinking about this
I mean, he can just grow it back
Yeah but sponge regrowth in reality is more like Deadpool so the rapid regrowth makes more sense with this theory
WHERE IS FLYING BRAINS EPISODE
I'm sorry I'm very confused about the salmon suit with Squidward, where, ANYWHERE, does it indicate it's REAL salmon skin? How do we know it's not just a costume, like a fake face mask that humans sometimes where??? Very weak connection imo
I spoke to someone who used to write on the show and asked him about this theory and he essentially said it's a kids show that doesn't have a dark setting and that people will find whatever they want if they look deep enough and only see what they want to see.
They could argue that point, but it's not uncommon for kids media to have darker subtext. Puss in Boots the Last Wish had some, and so did Hunchback of Notre Dame. Kung Fu Panda, Meet the Robinsons, Teen Titans, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Over the Garden Wall, and Adventure Time are just some.
They might not be as unhinged as this skin theory, but they still had and have dark settings that would typically be for adults, but they toned it down to be kid friendly. We use euphemisms to make indirect statements about a thing or topic to lessen the harshness of a topic, especially for kids.
They can say that it's not there and never intended for it to be there, but that doesn't mean it can't be there. For a kids' show, SpongeBob really has a lot of moments with ripping off skin and ripping off others skin like costumes. I'm not saying this theory is canon. Its just weird that it happens so much compared to a lot of other shows.
Not like they can come out and state that this theory is correct without a change in rating anyway. Most likely visual gags at the end of the day.
Plus, we need to stop treating children like they are brain dead. They like good stories too. Just because it's a kids show, isn't an excuse for lazy writing and screenplay. If anything, they should be held at higher standards because their brains are still developing.
don't forget spongebob eating his hands and arms like popcorn or a shredder
He can grow them back
Yeah I was waiting for him to talk about the hash slinging slasher episode

@@deathahoy8971 CORRECT
Or the fact Patrick got surgery to apply a functional nose on his face that ends up withering right off.
This man really came through, said everyone in SpongeBob is wearing a skin suit, and then dipped forever

@@KaiaBrodbecker “refuses to elaborate further” so an hour of him explaining it isn’t “elaborate” enough?
Thanks for including the clip from pre-hibernation with music by Pantera!!! My favorite episode
I'm honestly surprised the episode "Someone's in the Kitchen with Sandy" from season 7 wasn't mentioned. Plankton literally walked around in Sandy's skin when she takes it off to shower. It was like at least half the episode. It was hardly questioned if I remember correctly.
"this kid even looks like a salmon!"
"salmon are actually.... Gray"
Then he wasn't a salmon
@@rmhd7550 easy peasy
That kid got skinned alive and is now in excruciating pain
Emphasis on, "what if".
@Joe Mama somebody didn't watch enough of the video
The only human characters in spongebob are Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy

To be fair, he said "show". Hasselhoff is in the movie

I can't believe this guy just dropped this, came back a year later, then vanished again
This guy posted an absolute banger in the midst of insanity from an ensuing pandemic and just disappeared. An absolute legend

Thanks for reminding me of that horror. 🤮
Yeah.

Someone’s In The Kitchen With Sandy
If this video wasn’t so well organized, I’d think I was listening to a legitimate paranoid schizophrenic.
That's one hell of a compliment
oh
Based
this is my favorite comment
32:07 so no one else noticed that Ms.Puff's hat turned blue for a fraction of a second?
28:48 Patrick is a starfish he can remove or lose parts of his body and regrow them
Why do I always get recommend this kind of video at 4 AM
Right 😭🤚
same i found this and decided to maybe just to hear the theory...1 hour and 11 minutes later i now am confused and surprised
bro it’s 1:25
I can relate. Heck, it doesn’t Erne recommend it to me... it just plays. I’m watching a DIY tutorial to fix my kitchen sink and this somehow winds up as my next video on auto play lol.
I have school tomorrow godammit
This man really left out the episode where Patrick BUYS A NOSE THAT WOULD'VE BEEN SO HELPFUL HOW DID HE MISS IT
Ik he talked specifically about seasons 1-4 but in season 5 episode 6 “spy buddies” mr. krabs and plankton switch bodies for a bet. Also the final minute or so of the episode they show Patrick in a squidward suit, sandy suit, and spongebob suit also squid gets his face ripped off and spongebob wears a Patrick suit under his spongebob suit with another spongebob suit underneath. As if that’s already not confusing enough the last scene shows two identical Patricks at the same time...
And the one where Plankton steals Sandy’s skin and controls it to steal the secret formula
He also mentioned a nose-specific shop from F.U.N.
I'm fairly certain he explicitly stated that this wasn't an exhaustive list.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT NOSE EPISODE FOR THE ENTIRE VIDEO
