    Check out season 5 episode “spy buddies”. I think it supports your theory about sandy being a spy. SpongeBob and patrick come to sandy for help with some spy gear. She says a bunch of things like oh what would a spy need, then proceeds to pull out various spying items. Then when they ask to borrow them she says “oh no I’d never let you touch these.” PROVING THAT THEY ARE HERS AND SHE USES THEM SO MUCH THEY ARE PRECIOUS

    There are a few more minor things to note. Spongebob is aware of the French Narrator but not that he’s part of a show. This is shown in Spongebob’s Birthday Blowout while exiting the ocean. Another thing to note is that while stuff like time cards seem to be done in editing, they’re also something the characters can do as shown in Wet Painters where Patrick holds up a “three hours later” sign and says “Can you hurry up? I’m running out of time cards.” So they appear to be a normal thing. More proof of this is how Spongebob does one while mimicking the narrator in Mimic Madness. As for the point of their existence in the fish world, I have no idea. But Patrick doing this for no reason as Spongebob is nervous to paint definitely fits Patrick’s stupidity. Patrick has been shown to be dumb many times, so I doubt he’s in on the show thing. But, if you’ve seen The Theorizer, he theorized that Patrick used to be smart but unplugged his brain like it’s seen in Patrick Smartpants. So, what if Patrick found out his life was staged and couldn’t live with that so he unplugged his brain? Hell, the show runners could’ve unplugged it to prevent others from finding out!
    Edit: Thanks for 1K likes! I know saying this is cliche, but I’ve never had a comment this popular before! It’s one of the top ones! It’s really nice when you’re not lost in the sea of comments and people like what you have to say.

    *To add on to the Mermaid Man theory:* It was shown in the episode that when Spongebob had the belt, nobody *knew* how to make everyone big again once they were shrunken down originally. Not even Barnacle Boy or Mermaid Man told spongebob how to change themselves back to the way they were. It's possible that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy *didn't know* this either, shrinking themselves down by mistake. With no way to call for help or how to reverse it, they chose to live in Bikini Bottom.

    I'm convinced that Squidward is aware of the television show, too. In two episodes, he made a reference to the lenth of most episodes (11 minutes) and the reason how he can afford a lot of expensive things despite being poorly paid by Mr. Krabs is because he is already well paid by the production team, which also explains why Spongebob and Patrick aren't living in complete poverty either. That could also be an explanation why Squidward didn't move away, since he has been payed by the production team to stay in Bikini Bottom for entertainment and every attempt of him moving away was sabotaged by the plot

    this is probably my third time watching this series. that’s how you KNOW it’s good. and like, it’s not just the don’t wake the muse stuff (don’t worry, i am so freaking excited for the next episode and it truly is genius) but the theories themselves are so well done. the amount of effort that went into these, especially the later one. they get to be so insanely far out there yet you still managed to make a convincing case. i absolutely adore this channel/series. it was so genius to use spongebob theories for an ARG. idk if you’ve seen the Analog Horror of Alvin and the Chipmunks (can’t remember the guys name but his channel is awesome), but his videos are awesome as well, although they are not as scary and obviously him trolling. i believe fake theories/documentaries based on nostalgia combined with horror/realism is genius. even though his are very obviously made as a joke, i believe that this “genre” overall is going to be very successful when done well. anyways sorry for rambling, i just love this series and genre so much and am excited to see what else you have to offer in the future, whether you continue with the crazy kids show theories or make more short horror films. keep up the great work!!

    The fact that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy can breathe underwater proves that they somehow have superpowers, as no other Human in the Show breathes underwater. Even Kenny the Cat (a one off Character from later Seasons), who allegedly held his breath for "years" still uses an Oxygen Tank when no one is looking. And if the Humans invented the "breath underwater" Technology, they definitly would've given it to Sandy as well.
    And don't come to me with Pearl as a counter argument. We don't see her everyday Life. And she is a Sperm Whale, who can hold their Breath for over 100 Minutes at a time. She could easily sometimes swim to take some fresh air or even hold her breath for much MUCH longer (toon physics and all that, Mr Krabs can breath Air as an underwater Crab after all).

    Another thing to add, the "gorilla" wears a patrick costume while interacting with others.
    They (the humans) probably thought that patrick wasn't there, so they found an actor to replace him for the time being.
    So that means, any fish in the spongebob universe could be replaced with a human in a fish suit.
    That could also explain the flanderization of certain characters in the recent seasons.

    Could this theory also explain why so many fishes in this series have fake appendages and skins? For those unaware, I'm talking about Doug Woolever's SpongeBob Skin Theory. So many characters in this show are shown wearing fake skins. Squidward was once asked by SpongeBob to wear a realistic looking lobster costume that looks horrifying. Heck, in episode 'Imitation Krabs', SpongeBob unintentionally unmasks a random customer trying to reveal Plankton, and the shocked customer says 'Everyone at the head enhancement clinic said nobody would notice' before running away crying. He literally says clinic. Not costume shop, not cosplay, but clinic. He even specifies head enhancement. And seriously, his real head looks different from the rest of his body. In my opinion, I believe that the television producers have actually set up a complex costume shop/hospital for Bikini Bottom as another method of keeping the show relevant without our favorite porous sponge and company's knowledge. And why not? It's a good running gag, just one that has some dark implications depending on who you ask..

      ​@@haashimnisar431 who knows, in the spongebob universe maybe the US army invented a device that would clean up the nuclear bombardment aftermath.
      edit: maybe there was a war between them and humans. and the nuclear bombing signals the bikini bottom's defeat. this result in mass brain washing erasing the deadly history. thus allowing peace under the constant surveillance and monitoring of humans. kind of a police state.
      there's a recurring gag that mr krabs was suffering ptsd because he lost his crew and officer in the war although it was unclear which war he fought. its been said numerous in some of the episode times that mr. krabs served in the navy. in season 3 episode 50b the narrator says: *"After the war, Krabs stayed secluded in a deep depression that seemed endless."* in a rumored ama with some of the production team. they jokingly said that mr. krabs fought the Russian navy or have been deployed in Vietnam. most likely this is not canon and can never be confirmed. but, it doesn't change the fact that they alluded that mr. krabs fought humans before.
      mr. krabs says that he's a cook sometimes a sailor, (his claim change every time whenever he talks about his role in the war). the inaccuracy of mr. krabs claim of what his role in the war was probably he was under a non disclosure agreement because they were defeated and had to abide to something called "victor's justice". and it was classified. and if he talks about the truth it could have serious consequence for him.
      in 2004 SpongeBob movie, it was revealed that the bikini bottom and the human world was separated by a lawless seabed, deadly trench filled with beasts and finally, the the part near the shoreline where human divers hunts sea creatures (the closer to the human world the more dangerous for sea creature it become). this act as a barrier to keep the citizens of the bikini bottom from finding out the truth.

In season 3 episode 5, Mermaid Man says near the end of the episode that "We've been shrinking for years" and Barnacle Boy responds by saying "But this is ridiculous". This is after Spongebob uses the shrink ray on them I think there is some other factor that makes them grow smaller, not the shrink ray and this could be tied to Mermaid man's PTSD and dementia.

    "Television Theory" is an eloquently put theory that deserves to get a lot of publicity by the internet.
    Not too long ago I was thinking about why the french narrator of Spongebob, Hans, progressively becomes more and more relevant to the show. In this theory, I didn't realize the minor details they put for Hans.

      Actually, the name of the French narrator is Jean-Michel Cousteau. If Hans was a French name, it would be pronounced something like "Ons".

      Actually in "Mimicry Madness" Sponge Bob did mimic not just a card but Frenchie himself... Not to forget in the newest anniversary, Sponge Bob and the rest of the fish are sorta aware of Frenchie as Sponge Bob literally thanked him when they wanted to go to the surface.

    Damn right at the start “secret group of puppet masters” showing black tentacles. I didn’t realize the ARG was planned even this far back. I assumed the success of the first couple SpongeBob theories gave him the idea to use the new audience for his story.
