When SpongeBob transitioned from simply ignorant to a literal child it was one of the greatest tragedies in television history.
seriously, they made a show that almost anyone could watch and be entertained to a show for toddlers.
:(
@@gracethompson3256 spongebob is a kid now?
@@tmoney444 no, he's technically still an adult, but he acts like a little whiney baby now.
He was really funny in seasons 1-3 then got progressively annoying real fast
Came for spongebob, left with a quarterlife crisis
Fr
Man on god 🤣
FUCK too true 😢 😂 😢
🤣😂
Is it really a crisis? Or is it an optimistic hope spot of how we can change and accept ourselves?
This videos message is made even more clear by the fact that the main moral of the original SpongeBob Movie is “it’s ok to be a kid”
i think the main moral on that movie is more like "it's okay to be yourself, you don't need to change yourself to fit other people vision to be successful" spongebob is becaming more mature afterall at the end of the episode
I think part of the reason adults of the 80s,90s and 2000s kids had that mentality is cause they did not have a childhood like the 90s were I mean they had less tv entertainment, they were strickened to grow out of cartoons and such at younger ages and more going out style and rock n roll concerts were a big had to go to amd gather thing then social media stuff now a days so I think that's part of why more older adults especially ones when spongebob was new may never see or understand what I as a 90s, 20000s kid did see in this show and why its still in my heart as day 1 and likely forever be hope not to argue with anyone just sharing what i believe to be part of the truth
@@muhammadfazlurrahman4929so I can be lazy and I shouldn’t change? This moral can be taken way out of proportion
@@Azurethewolf168 i think what he's trying to say is " your the one to path your future, you shouldn't follow the status quo if you don't like it as long as your doing what's right and not hurting anyone go your own way. be a kid.
@@micjimster4845 oh ok
The thesis being "haters mad I can experience childlike wonder" is downright amazing
"There will never be another cartoon like Spongebob"
Lets be honest...even modern Spongebob can't compare to early Spongebob
@pkmnrgby 9698 Nickelodeon wouldn't be around today
what is this guy talking about? spongebob died! ua-cam.com/video/4KhFiPG7eEg/v-deo.html
YES
new Spongebob is a pile of bullsh*t compaired to old Spongebob. nothing will ever beat those old episodes like band geeks and pizza delivery. Spongebob just doesnt feel like Spongebob nowadays. i prefer the grainy quality and dull colors over the new sleek, bright colors i guess.
@Arjan Singh now I gotta agree with that
It’s important to have the maturity and wisdom of Squidward, but also the passion and jolly of Spongebob.
I suppose in a way, they're two parts of the same person.
PREACH IT BROTHER
True dat
Squidward may be mature but definitely not wise
@Stix N' Stones Patrick is just sort of the embodiment of simple innocence to an almost animalistic degree. He knows nothing besides what's immediately in front of him. He's almost like a dog. He's not very different from the rock he lives under. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if it was a reference to the saying "have you been living under a rock?" His life is simple and he knows nothing about the world. Together with Spongebob and Squidward, they're kind of a trinity, like the id, the ego, and the superego.
The only truly bad thing about Spongebob is the fact that it has been milked dry.
Also, the disrespect towards Stephen Hillenburg, that is just disgusting.
damn straight. At least disney did mickey justice. The people who work on spongebob are absolutely the most unintelligent spoiled morons that probably got their jobs from "daddy".
What disrespect? I haven't heard of this, please tell me.
Well he’s dead so don’t worry about that lol
@@ir0n392 same
@@ir0n392 This is just a portion of it, but Stephen Hillenburg didnt want any spin off shows for spongebob, and wanted to end it multiple times before. But as you can see now a short time after he passed nick already starting making spin offs. Ex: Kamp Koral, The Patrick Star Show.
Squidward IS a talented artist. He mastered several different forms of art, from painting to neon signs. If he settled on just one artform and mastered it, he could certainly be a great artist.
If he wasn't stressed and criticized as much he would also be better
Most of his painting aren’t even that bad, either.
I think the main reason everyone in Bikini Bottom hates his art is because it's extremely pompous/self aggrandizing
His art either doesn't have any genuine meaning behind it and is just trying to look professional, or is literally just him (Most of his art is just self portraits of himself with no flair)

There's one moment in season eight that I feel perfectly demonstrates the relationship between Spongebob and Squidward. At the end of the episode, "Hello Bikini Bottom!" There's a song between the two where Spongebob starts off singing about how despite their colossal failure in music, they have to keep trying for Mr. Krabs and the Krusty Krab's sake. Then it cuts to Squidward walking home, defeated, singing about how this whole venture was bound to fail from the start, highlighting both of their attitudes towards life. Spongebob being hopeful and optimistic, and Squidward being pessimistic and cynical. Eventually Squidward turns around and returns to Spongebob where they share a clarinet ukulele duet on top of their broken-down tour bus, to which Squidward remarks, "Hey, that was actually kind of good." I find this moment to be the perfect example of the relationship between them you discussed in the video and is one of my favorite moments from the later seasons.
You have a great point!
If we critically analyzed works of fiction like SpongeBob instead of Shakespeare, school would have been so much more enjoyable
Seth YES, like what relevance does Shakespeare have in modern life compared to Spongebob
That might actually happen in like a thousand years...if spongebob is preserved
Except spongebob isnt as well written
Or would sponge bob become the thing everyone hates to read(watch) at school
@@prayingmantis1926 There are some things to be learned, although not at the level of certain literary works. I would say the most important things to learn would be basic storytelling structure, and the different comedy techniques used. It would be very easy to analyze because of its short length of episodes. For learning of the various literary elements found in more complex works it isn't good. I'd say analyzing spongebob to learn what I mentioned can be fine for early school years. Not high school or college level work.
I’d like to add the fact that spongebob is behind a glass wall. It’s kind of like a metaphor for that even though you can act like a squidward on the outside and inside, there’s still some of that spongebob inside of you.
PenguinEmp I like this comment a lot
PenguinEmp And the fact that it was also a short scene with no dialogue in it really fits under the meaning of “Show, don’t tell”.
SpongeBob: Wow Pat! That was beautiful!
Or also how when we are children, all we want to do is grow up, because when we look through the window, we want to act grown up and do adult things, but all Squidward (the adults) see is their own sad reflection, with an underlying image of Spongebob, what they once were and wish could be.
Relax bro, it’s not that deep.
It’s kinda amazing how one show was able to shape an entire generation’s sense of humor
I learned the word "mediocre" from Squidward when Spongebob criticized his clarinet playing, so it's satisfying af to hear you use the word mediocre 5+ times lmao
that was actually plankton
“Patrick is nothing special” those are fightin words.
U mad bro?
@@yolandagodoy3127 F*ck yes.
my only criticism of this video is that it undersells characters like Patrick and Mr. Krabs. Patrick wasn't just another randumb character and Mr. Krabs wasn't just a greedy character
@@1mpetus what else is there to mr. Crabs character other than greed?
@@ryasan there are many examples, but most obviously he acts like a father figure to Spongebob and Patrick in episodes like Hookey, Sailor Mouth, etc.

I think SpongeBob is popular because it has characters everyone can relate to at any age. Failing driving tests, grumpy coworkers, etc.
So true, especially the driving test thing! When we're young, SpongeBob is ourselves from the distant future and we aspire to that level of independence. As adults, we get to relive the time when the driver's test meant everything.

Thank you Stephen, seriously my god thank you dude
SpongeBob’s character was a lot more well rounded than just depicting a window to our childhood nature of being “joyful, naive, enthusiastic, optimistic”. SpongeBob is also depicted as responsible, ambitious, dedicated, honest, hardworking, and more. It’s the perfect blend of all the traits SB possesses that makes him such an amazing character. Unlike other cartoons for kids, SpongeBob is NEVER depicted as a punk, or selfish, or any kind of stereotypical “rebellious antagonist with a good heart overall”. I just think of Eliza Thornberry, Otto Rocket, Ed Edd & Eddy, or literally EVERY other character. The ONLY one who comes close to SpongeBob is maybe Hey Arnold!- and in reality he’s not even close. SpongeBob is more like the idealized version of how everyone wishes they still were once they become adults. He’s an example to emulate in contrast to how clearly undesirable a jaded nihilist like Squidward has let life turn him into. And Squidward himself realizes this in the episode where he moves to Tentacle Acres, and quickly loses his mind as soon as he no longer has the balance of SpongeBob in his life. They feed off each other so well, allowing them to channel their natural energy and direct it at the other. SB gives Squidward the target he craves to direct his grumpy angst at, and Squid gives SB the grump he craves to direct his optimistic do-goodery.
As good of a job as this video did analyzing SpongeBob's character, you're actual description of him is way better. EmpLem even points things related to that description out, like how he says that he's an adult with childlike qualities, or that he's still a genuinely good person and hold's his own weight, and, above all else, that his life can be seen as just as rough as Squid's.
Very good comment, man. I had never thought about how spongebob is a good example of responsability and honesty. He really is, and that makes him very far from being "imature" in a bad sense.
Send this shit to the director of Spongebob immediately.
His Twitter hasn't been updated in over 3 years, also he has ALS. We should start a gofundme.
@@pussyboa7975 I like the golden years only
Stephen knows how good his baby his. He made it.
I think he meant the new director.
man you're just fawning about this dude, there's videos that have explained this clearly but without Steven Hillenburg, the franchise isn't ultimately fucked, but rather ultimately doomed for taste of adult audience of the early seasons.

Love how when SpongeBob slides along the glass to greet Squidward, he actually cleans the surface, because he's a SPONGE. Brilliant.
Not only is it convenient for the animators IT IS PHYSICALLY convenient for him, to clean that way.
Wow, I am 22 years old and that just dawned on me. Thank you sir.

Spongebob was not only probably my favorite show growing up, but it was also one of the very few shows my parents and uncle got into even though they were well in their 40s approaching 50. It's one thing to appeal to children or to appeal to adults, but when you can somehow pull off both perfectly is an exceptional feat.
My dad said his fav episode was the employee training video because of the acronym P.O.O.P.
I watched it with my kids, I probably love it more than them.
Nowadays, this perfectly applies to Bluey, another show I love for life. As well as my most favorite show, Animaniacs.

i actually like a few of the seasons after the “golden era”. maybe it’s because i’m a gen z-er so i “grew up” with seasons 4-6 (i remember season 4 episodes constantly playing, it’s like nick loved that season). i do feel like people hate on the newer seasons a bit too much. the first 3 seasons were absolutely amazing, the newer seasons definitely do not compare, but i’ll still give credit where credit is due.
True, in fact the first three seasons were the best because they were all written by Stephen Hillenherg. 4th one was ok. The soul of the cartoon was slowly taken away from the 5th one onwards…
Same thing with the Simpsons. The golden age is seasons 2-8 (although I love season 1 too). But I kinda like seasons 9-10.
Yea for me spongebob season 4-5 was starting to get diffrent maybe half the episodes were still really good but less and less over the seasons onward but to this day I still try to find a good 1 episode a year or season idk maybe a tradition at this point lol
I was actually introduced to SpongeBob with Season 4, I was born in 2007, and I didn't watch SpongeBob until 2010 were I was introduced to the guy with Fear of a Krabby Patty
i agree! my favorite seasons are 1-6
My favorite Squidward moment was when he throws the pizza back in the Barnacle-Head's face and yells *"THIS IS SPARTA!"*
my favorite episode was when Squidward guns down a bunch of school children and calls it art
holy shit
@@yankee_0013 that's my Favorite episode too
Noo this is patrick
Broke Dog same
The creators just put the characters on crack, they turned Spongebob into a little kid, Patrick into a total bonehead, Squidward into a depressing faliure, Plankton into a purely evil antagonist who starts to focus less on the formula and more on being a villain, they turned Sandy into an Einstein rather than a science enthusiast and they just started exploiting all of the characters
@Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap I'm currently watching season 11 and there were definitely some good episodes
spongbob being "on crack" is an accurate description of the new episodes.
Flanderization
@@badmoose01 exactly!
This comment made me realize that another issue with the bad seasons is that they turned the characters into their stereotypes and roles, rather than individual characters with multiple interests and goals. Sandy isn't a scientist. Sandy is an individual with multiple identifying features and goals that she could be categorized by. The same is true for spongebob, squidward, patrick etc. I think people in general are this way and are so complex and made up by so many group identities that they are actually unique and individual.
I’m a 29 year old millennial stuck working at a restaurant and currently frustrated with what society has become. I relate to Squidward so much it’s unreal.
Big same homie.
Im not even employed OR an adult yet and Im a Squidward 😭 I've been a Squidward for as long as I can recall which probably isnt a good thing, I can hardly remember being a Spongebob
I'm more like spongebob than squidward and I'm 14 xD
Yep…you is Squidward
Loved the ending to this video. Also appreciated the “no one wants to be a Squidward” reference. The training episode is another classic.
"What do you normally do while I'm gone?"
"Wait for you to get back."
Rest in peace, Stephen Hillenberg.
this hurt my heart.
I am not kidding, my eyes got all teary and stuff ;-;
he didn't die you donkey try searching on google dont get affected with the fake news in the social media
That meme though.
Quez Tion Mark he did 😒
I think one think the show always subtly portrays is that squidward is jealous of SpongeBobs happiness. So despite his complaining, in the end of pizza delivery he is mad because he doesn’t want Spongebob to be like him. It hurts to see someone so happy become jaded because it reminds him of how he feels, so he decides to protect that childlike innocence.
That's a really good take on it as Squidward, despite his moments of jealousy, has always taken a more mature perspective on things. So it well within his character to recognize this.
Squidward is the hero we need, but not the one we deserve.
@@TheInevitableMan So we'll take ages ordering at the Krusty Krab, because he can take it. A silent protector. A dark knight.

The conclusion of this video changed my outlook on life, I watched this video ~2 years ago and ever since then I've been magnitudes more happy and fulfilled with my life. I think the stigmatization of being childish / happy is definitely real and something I've never noticed before, thank you for making this video!
"We do that for 40 years, and then we die." That line has always stuck with me. I find myself repeating it too often.
Smokey La Bear I even had a calculus teacher recite that line to us as well, with a disturbing sigh
I laugh every time I hear it.
This makes me think of how one's perception of who's in the right between Tom and Jerry changes as you grow older.
ya, you got a great point there. that why tom and jerry's cartoons hold up so well. I think is is also why so many kid are x man fans and so many adults are Cap fines. the way we see the world change with it our understanding of heroism.
Lol. As a kid I always felt sorry for Tom. Wasn't very fond of that little mouse.
There's moments in the series that help show how they both depend on the rivalry, in a way. If they really, truly wanted to kill each other, it would have ended sooner.
Always loved them both still do
@@majorhoolahan same here.
This video helped me to develop a very interesting philosophy when it comes to animation. Always try to include elements for adults even if the show may be advertised for children, so that way, the adults can feel included. I would like to develop animated cartoons of my own in the future, working with this very philosophy in the forefront of my mind. Thank you EmpLemon… and thank you Stephen Hillenburg for giving me that.
The humor was what made me like SpongeBob the most. Most quotable moments for sure.

Maybe once you are of age to take substances you’ll realize you don’t need them to enjoy things in life. Childlike pleasures can be enjoyed fully at any age without drugs and alcohol
The scene that really made me recognize why I love spongebob is in the grandmas cookies episode. Spongebob goes to Patrick for advice and Patrick says "puff your chest out and repeat after me. TAX EVASION!!!" And that's when I realized there are plenty of random jokes consistent with the traditional spongebob humor that only adults will even notice. Great show. One of the single best shows of all time honestly.
I remember my dad once said that Spongebob was the most perplexing cartoon show ever made, he had no idea how this idea ever happened and became so popular. But one of the hardest times I’ve ever seen my dad laugh was when he was watching the show with me and the episode “Grandmas Kisses” was on. When Spongebob has his crying fit at the end and starts crying like a sprinkler (lol). My dad must have laughed for like 5 minutes straight lmao. I’ll never forget that, it was really nice for him to find enjoyment from something I liked (I was in 6th grade at the time so he never watched my programming, which I can’t blame him for. But that just shows how genuinely funny and accessible this show was in its first 3 seasons. Great video man.
Lol the sprinkler crying is hilarious. What got my parents laughing their asses off was Rock Bottom, when he kept missing the bus 😂
My dad laughed when squidward was atacked by a Sea Bear
Qm
man spongebob is that cartoon that brought fathers and sons together
My dad still laughs at the show to this day. He quotes “Yer a mystery, Spongebob.” to this day.
When it comes to anything, the quality is determined by a persons passion. The man who originally created not only loved the sea as a marine biologist but he loved animation. So, he took what he loved and with some help from other passionate guys and made this. If any of you guys have a passion for something. Don’t wait, go for it.

"Getting old is mandatory. Growing up is optional."
I'm not a millennial, I was born right when spongebob stopped being good. It was my favorite show as a little kid and I watched it so much yet now the only episodes that have stuck with me are from the first three seasons. It was a show I could sit down with my mother and watch and we'd both find lots of enjoyment from it. Those re runs of classic spongebob episodes are some of my favorite memories.

Wrong.
This was a great video, but I'm a bit dissapointed you didn't talk about the movie, seeing as the main theme of the movie was the same theme you summed up in the video. The theme of it being ok to be childish, and to enjoy being a kid, is the theme the movie chooses to focus on because it is the real core of the show. It's what makes the movie such a good finale to the series, which it was originally supposed to be.
Hopefully he will in a possible part 2? Still a great video nonetheless.
@@Helldragon64 Likely not a part 2, since he would just be restating everything he already said.
Speaking of the movie, this video made me realize why the movie felt mediocre to me, even though I think its core theme is great! But for the majority of the movie Squidward and Spongebob are separated, with it being mostly the journey Patrick and Spongebob are on, which ultimately is just wacky adventure of two idiot friends. I don't hate the movie, it's ok, but like EmpLemon says, I have to agree that Band Geeks is the better Finale, because its about Squidward AND Spongebob!
Exactly what I was thinking.
Maybe that's why spongebob became bad
They didn't have the same look after the mivie
I think I'll subscribe. I love these types of channels. I literally kept pausing the video because I knew exactly where you were going with this and I spent the rest of the time just nodding in agreement with your analysis of the show.
Really great stuff! Older stuff...but AWESOME. 😁👍
SpongeBob is still such a beloved cartoon character to me. And I'm not ashamed to say he's probably up there with my other favorite cartoon, movie, and TV show characters. I can't help but watch clips from the first couple seasons and laugh or smile.
I'm in my 20s now, still trying to figure everything out. After a rough year of dealing with overwhelming amounts of anxiety for the future I decided to give all that worrying up and indulge in simple comforts. My interests tend to change over time and I've found that during stressful or monotonous periods of my adult life I gravitate towards animated movies and shows more than anything else. It brings me joy. Simple as that. I'm trying to chase what brings me joy more. Joy that I remember feeling when I was a kid. And there isn't any reason why I can't experience the same feelings of wonder and happiness I did as a kid now as an adult.
Wtf this video is a masterpiece
Starfire Ger, emplemon is one of the best youtubers around. All of his vids are like this, masterpieces.
It sure is.
First time?

I watched this for a review and I came out with a completely different outlook on my entire life. I didn’t expect such a genuinely powerful message...

omg spongebob so deep and #relatable I’m literally crying - Emplemon
this video almost made me cry. it’s perfect. thank you for this! all your points are right and said so well.
This seriously made me tear up at the end and opened a new door. This video is not only informative but also a lesson. Amazing video!

I was actually think of this quote when watching this. XD
Who?
I used this quote as my senior quote.
Robot Part One specifically.
Which doctor?
I mean, at least Squidward didn't go to art school, we've all seen how that went the last time.

Oh... OH!!
I was looking for a comment like this
I love rewatching the classic episodes now as an adult, its so fun finding my own themes and ways to interpret the show even though its simple. You hit it right on the nail, its like it was made to be timeless and appeal to the generation it came out for throughout our entire lives, not just as a kid. So many raunchy jokes, themes and plots that flew right over my head as a kid are that much more enjoyable as an adult now.
I wasn’t allowed to watch 99% of stuff on television, growing up in an evangelical family in the 90’s-00’s. SpongeBob was so funny but wholesome that it even made my parents laugh and so it was one of the few cartoons I was allowed to watch.
Being mature does not mean to stop acting like a child, it is to remember when and where to act like one without leaving aside your new adult life
great comment!
Yes
eh kinda
also its "remember" not "remembrr"
Exactly, being mature means taking care of responsibilities, and kids dont have much of those compared to adults.
So you can be childlike at home but not when around others?
I applaud you for your creations on UA-cam. these videos are very thorough and high quality. This was nice to come across at this point in my life.
This video is an underrated gem. Thanks for your work
I just realized most of the characters in Spongebob are opposites of each other
Spongebob is positive
Squidward is negative
Patrick is dumb
Sandy is smart
Mr. Krabs is successful
Plankton is a failure
It's simple character dynamics. I still wonder how something so simple is so good
Yeah thats the way to properly write. Characters should be distinct and bounce off of each other.

In case you've forgotten here's how things work, I order the food, you cook the food, then the costumer gets the food, we do that for 40 years and then I get an ad.

Watching this video has been a trip I forgot I used to watch your YTPs way before the deep dive videos ❤❤❤
I just noticed that the music playing at 17:10 is the same music played in the underwater levels of donkey Kong just a jazz version now that’s nostalgic
Squidward said “we do this for 40 years, then we die” and I immediately got an ad
@nintendoluigi he isn't a company. He is a singular youtube content creator trying to get money doing what he loves.
@@Mark-xw5yt a big portion of it goes to Viacom that's what he meant.
@@radanju3 yes but without ads the creators can't make money which is kinda unfair considering they don't make much anyways.
Same here, it was some pretty good timing

@@nemesws he's a sponge
I really enjoy your videos and your insight. Keep it up man.
Saying what everybody was thinking
Spot on
i was thinking it's so popular because of how surreal it is, fundamentally and cosmetically. the merchandise and meme aspect is so unique because of how unrealistic and obscure the show's appearance is. any other cartoon is based on humans or humanoid mammals or thereabouts. but a marine creature as obscure as a sponge is what the protagonist is, and the secondary character is also based on a featureless alien-like creature.
there is also the aspect that is fundamental to cartoons, how they are so detached from reality that they are so universally popular because there is no recognisable feature or reference to find contention in; and spongebob is somewhat excellent at this, hence why it is popular across cultural boundaries.
How's It going Zalinki?
Zalinki hey
Zali I loved your idubbz animation
I liked Chowder too :/
This video is a genuine masterpiece
DannTheMan agreed. For some reason your comment was the second recommended in the section. Above a comment with thousands of likes. Wtf. But yes. Agreed.
I mean...he talked for ten minutes about how the show was the longest running success of any of it's contemporaries, then he's forced to admit only the first three seasons are really worth a damn. And it was obvious that it was squidward...
Showing your age are we?
@@246spyder maybe, but it doesn't make me wrong, does it?

Despite the dark ages, Spongebob will never be forgotten and will go down in history as one of the greatest cartoons ever created.
This video sure brought some memories:) I remember being obsessed with Spongebob's movie, we used to rent it with my dad every single weekend, eventually he got tired of watching it (ofc) but i didn't and i kept requesting it at the store when i was little even though my dad was begging me to chose something else. The guy at the store ended up gifting it to me and to this day, it's my dad's worst trauma because he had to watch that movie over and over again, but for me it's a beautiful memory of my dad just having to go through that movie every single weekend just to spend time with me watching something i enjoyed. He still hates that guy.
I can’t believe I used to hate Squidward when I was younger.
I can see why, he was kind of a buzz killer who seemed to bully spongebob in a way, but he was just misunderstood to the point where he was anger inducing.
Yeah, that’s probably why. XD
I can still understand why some people might hate him, but now, I appreciate him much more as a character.
At one point we all went like "Jeez, cheer up Squidward, why you're so angry?"
I never hated him, I think I liked him a couple times as well.
Same
The disconnect to sponge bob from adults is SUPER real. Back when seasons 1-3 aired regularly, my mom would always ask my Dad why he would watch sponge bob with me and my siblings. It’s because it was funny to many diverse audiences: even including my 40 year old father!
My dad was 49 when he did the same thing for both Spongebob and later Gravity Falls 😁
I think parents should be watching cartoons with their kids anyways regardless but I get your point
@Long Arm Gaming Your mom sucks do not talk to her for life.
My dad was the same. He loved early spongebob
@@Cobra-yo7fx ...i think the mom was just curious
I actually think season 4 still gets the SpongeBob Squidward dynamic right. Season 4, is really the in-between; between season 1-3 and the later seasons. Season 4 still has some memorable moments and some episode I myself thought were from Season 1-3.
Agree season4-5 have some preety good episodes and moments just that season 4 was the technical start of the downfall they lost theyre original writer and they had some more censorship rules to follow due to 911 at the time for me as a fan I personally have to find a good 1 episode a season must be a tradition at this point lol
Gary Come Home might be a top 10 episode for me. For S4 it’s hilarious and emotional.
I can’t look at pinecones ever again 😂
0:06 Well this aged like fine wine
The way this whole thing turned into an entire therapy session...

I've been studying counselling for 3 years and sometimes I take more out of videos like this than a 3 hour lecture. It's mad.
