The thing that strikes me as a clue is that they are LOADING the pies INTO the ship at the Krusty Krab. Personally I find it plausible that Me. Crab MADE and SOLD the pies to the pirates who could be contacts from when he was himself a pirate. When he was in the navy as a cook he could of developed the bomb pies for war use.
He just didn't want to admit that he invented such an dangerous, silent and potent assassination weapon.....that's a scary thought thinking he runs a backdoor bomb shop.
In hindsight, this episode doesn't make sense because of two specific scenes. SpongeBob: "(smacks lips) Mmm, mmm, mwah. (rubs stomach) Thanks for the pie, Squidward!" Also SpongeBob: "jk, I never ate any of it, I was saving it to share with you."
I feel like the original plan was to have Spongebob legitimately blow up from the pie and then just be fine afterwards, but they felt it would still be too dark for kids so they changed it. I also definitely think it was written with poison in mind as the weapon but that was too realistic for Spongebob so they made it a bomb-in-a-pie. The idea of Squidward accidentally poisoning Spongebob and then spending his last day indulging his whims, only for Spongebob to indicate he may have known all along and just wanting to watch the susent is such a beautifully tragic idea, even with the cartoon slapstick and the "haha just kidding" fake out at the end to stop the kids from crying.
i believe the explosive pies were actually meant to be used in a battle. as poorly aerodynamic they are, they're very explosive. accuracy wouldn't matter, just getting them away from you. I appreciate all theories tho, since there's no hard evidence for any final answer
I've always thought Mr. Krabs used these pies to m*rder enemies in the war. He was a cooker when he was young at the SS. Diarrhea, so he basically used to cook food to cause illnesses and even d3ath. Personally, I have never seen the "brother" relationship between SpongeBob and Squidward. K1lling is a terrible act that leaves a great scar in your soul to most people even though it was accidental. Squidward would have been very sad and regretful if he hadn't met the person who ate the cake.
This is a pretty cool theory, but a major problem with the situation this episode presents is that it’s been shown time and time again that SpongeBob doesn’t feel any pain and pretty much can’t die. He’s even been sliced, diced, etc. so many times that it’s a running gag. Not to mention, there’s points that go beyond Squidward hiding his true feelings for SpongeBob (something like an elementary school crush with a bully liking the target secretly), where Squidward flat out rages at SpongeBob and tries to/does attack him, showing genuine hate towards SpongeBob. Although I do get for the most part the show is episodic and doesn’t have much continuity, but it’s still weird to see the characters change drastically from one episode to the other.
I think squidward almost had a mental breakdown over the risk bc he couldn’t live with the guilt. Even if he didn’t die, he would be to blame and that would be the ultimate hit to his ego
After watching dying for pie, I use the plot of the episode to describe if I really hate someone. For example, if I really hate my siblings, would I try to make their final hours good before they die? If it’s a yes, that means I secretly care about them
My theory is that he actually ate the pie and was killed, but squidward hallucinated spongebob to cope with the loss making the whole show from that point all in squidward's imagination
Mind blowing level one quintillion! Brilliant theory you got there! Edit: Also this sorta ties in with another one of your theories that Squidward is Spongebob's caretaker and guardian other than his parents the regret and guilt he would have felt would have been astronomical! Also the saddened faces of Spongebob's parents would have been enough to sell the deal and force him into a constant state of fear, anxiety, and depression.
This episode was the best and my most favourite. So many good jokes, seeing Squidward more emotional, and that ending was just *perfect* Spongebon truly defined the modern internet humor
These pirates more lethal than Plankton? You said in the Pearl theory Plankton would wipe out an entire population in a snap, the 7 Deadly Sins theory that Plankton is obsessed with power and ruling the world, and in the Sponge-Nam theory that Plankton wants to rule the world, not have burger business. Plankton has literally said on occasions "I WILL RULE THE WORLD!" in the SpongeBob movie and some SpongeBob episodes like the episode in season 8 where he teamed up with Man Ray.
I am 1 minute and 30 seconds in and hearing someone say that pies aren't aerodynamic to prove a point about a SpongeBob SquarePants episode really makes me feel strange things
I never realized before when watching this episode, but those bomb pies are shown to be very unstable; a crumb of it took out the office wall of the Krusty Krab ffs! And my man Squidward straight up DROPS THE PIE ON MR. KRABS' DESK AFTER BUYING IT! Call it cartoon logic, but the episode should've ended there: The Krusty Krab a smoldering crater and Spongebob's ears ringing as he lays under the rubble
Back in the day, someone edited the Encyclopedia SpongeBobia page for Dying for Pie to include a bunch of strange religious references, constantly referring to "the Lord" and the Pirates made the bomb-pies as an offering to him, and at one point in episode's time-line, stated that "(He) knew his pies where made in a factory." While I thought they where weird at the time, I didn't pay them any mind. In hindsight, they make the Pirates look like a cult. This video reminded of that.
I mean the last theory certainly isnt true. We see the pie actually explode. The true theory, is that this was the last episode in which these two were alive. The rest of the series takes place in the afterlife. Spongebob was a goody two shoes and so gets the good afterlife, his version of heaven, which for him was his current life, as the frycook he loved to be. Squidward, being the mean, spiteful self indulging sinner his is, gets the bad ending, his version of hell, which is ALSO his current life, having to deal with spongebob and patrick as neighbors who he hates, working at a job that he hates for a boss he hates for very low wages in a city he hates.
I’m gonna expand on the pirate theory we never really see Mr. Krabs prior crew but we see his Navy crew but that’s different but we never see his pirate crew And as grandpa crab states that Mr. Krabs is gonna be the best pirate but he gave that up So I think these were Mr. Krabs pirate crew before he sold the ship that used to be the crusty crab and now they won’t revenge for losing their job as pirates but Mr. Krabs would recognize them if they weren’t wearing disguises so they took out the pirate mantle again they were trying to kill SpongeBob to kill Mr. Krabs because he took the one job they could do successfully away from them and turned their pirate shipped and job into a restaurant so they won’t revenge
I remember everytime I watched this episode it always felt so weird. Like it’s a great episode that I definitely quote to this day, but the whole episode just didn’t feel like the rest of the series and I don’t really know why.
The citizens wouldn't be that mad about Spongebob dying. Mrs Puff is sent to the hospital/ prison every time they drive together, Spongebob destroys the city, hurts other people often. There is even a newer episode about National No Spongebob Day where everyone leaves town and burns a giant wooden spongebob effigy.
you know. i just realize about this episode. they are not only just talking about pie bombs or someone's death. they are talking about EXISTENTIALISM. when you know that the world doesn't have any purpose, just make your own purposes! just like Spongebob did by his list.
okay, so in another episode Mr.Krabbs fights the Pirares even though he hired Them? no, something isn't right about your theory. The pies were explosive as we can see from the ending. Mr. Krabbs did NOT hire the pirates, that pirates are just enemies of Mr.Krabbs
Considering squidward has canonically tanked a nuke, and survived a beating from omniman, along with tanking the pie, and spongebob has consistently shown to be more powerful than squidward, he'd definitely survive eating it
@@michaelp2147that’s literally the only hole in that theory. Makes perfect sense if the pirates, SpongeBob, and the hospital were all playing a part in Mr Krabs’ plan to teach squidward a lesson about being nice to SpongeBob at work since they all act a little too scripted. SpongeBob does do some vile things to Squidward tho, such as open heart surgery while he’s awake. Also I think that’s the only instance in the show where you see blood
There was no guarantee that the pie would end up at SpongeBob’s tho, and Jim also survived being chef. I’m pretty sure the ‘11 times’ refers to events Krabs witnessed in his pirate career and the explosive pies are a common thing in the pirate sector to kill an unsuspecting enemy from the inside out. They were loading at the Krusty Krab because either they had paid a visit to Krabs as old acquaintances and dropped the pies or they actually use his ingredients to make the pies, hence Krabs is so knowledgeable about it despite the pies being silent killers
@@beak_essence- yeah and his question of "why did the pirate sold the pies to Squidward" is so dumb honestly. For 1 the pirate guy he was talking to, is trying to correct him and explaining how the pies are bombs. But when Squidward mentioned 25$ the captain seized the opportunity to get a quick buck and sold Squidward the pie. And by the way the captain moves and talks it absolutely proves that, that's is the case
The pirates dont make them they are made in a factory, a bomb factory, there're bombs The probably recently bought them nearby (hints loading them on ship) maybe from Krabs ? (Would explain krabs being shocked by the 25$ cause he lost some profet ) or they were attacking someone nearby. Krabs? Krabs dad? The dutchman? Someone else who Knows Altho I feel like the dutchman feels like the kinda guy to have a pie bomb factory it seems to fit him better then krabs anyway I mean the guy does have a perfume shop in the middle of his ship lol
@@RustyNips i think y'all are thinking to much, this is a kids show i think the pirates just happened to be there and squipnarc saw a oprotinintity to give slungnarge a gift and the piretes wanted money of course

Really? That why my Thomas the tank engine blowed up
Favorite moment of Squidward caring for spongebob, when a customer yelled at spongebob for forgetting his Drink in pizza delivery.
The thing that strikes me as a clue is that they are LOADING the pies INTO the ship at the Krusty Krab. Personally I find it plausible that Me. Crab MADE and SOLD the pies to the pirates who could be contacts from when he was himself a pirate.
When he was in the navy as a cook he could of developed the bomb pies for war use.
He just didn't want to admit that he invented such an dangerous, silent and potent assassination weapon.....that's a scary thought thinking he runs a backdoor bomb shop.
Plus he freaks about about the upcharge of 25 which is a giveaway sign of krabs greed
Me. Crab 😂
I doubt it because Mr Krabs said he wasn’t the best of cooks (or maybe it was just the supplies on his ship)
If that was the case then why'd he almost eat the pie given the (theoretical) circumstances of him supplying them the pie bombs?
In hindsight, this episode doesn't make sense because of two specific scenes.
SpongeBob: "(smacks lips) Mmm, mmm, mwah. (rubs stomach) Thanks for the pie, Squidward!"
Also SpongeBob: "jk, I never ate any of it, I was saving it to share with you."
Maybe it's because: The pirates snuck in, Put a pie there, But forgot to load a bomb into it. Spongebob saved the original Pie Bomb to share.
I think SpongeBob just acted like he ate the pie to surprise squidward later, allowing them to share a touching moment together
I feel like the original plan was to have Spongebob legitimately blow up from the pie and then just be fine afterwards, but they felt it would still be too dark for kids so they changed it. I also definitely think it was written with poison in mind as the weapon but that was too realistic for Spongebob so they made it a bomb-in-a-pie.

1:30 in and this has already fallen to pieces
A lot of early SpongeBob episodes were pretty dark for a kids show.
My theory is that he actually ate the pie and was killed, but squidward hallucinated spongebob to cope with the loss making the whole show from that point all in squidward's imagination
Not only that, but through every season, the quality of the show drops because swuidward is succumbing to ptsd and lunacy
This the theory is so plausible. Well done. Keep up the good work
thx
5:11 so true. *but siblings aren't dead though* . You feel so guilty when something bad happens
Never before, have I ever thought about the meaning in some Spongebob episodes (Ex. Not Normal)

Oh i was expecting to see a muse eat a cat or something lol
cinian is over thinking this, the pirates were going to do a "peace treaty" with enemies
Imagine at the end of the episode SpongeBob actually blew up and squidward was so depressed that he created a scenario where SpongeBob didn’t die
Dying for pie:
Squidward: "Here right here! Youll get evreything you need!!"
Spongebob: "Im hungry!"
Squidward: *"IN A MINUTE 👹👹"*
Dude 1 min left Can't wait!
I am 1 minute and 30 seconds in and hearing someone say that pies aren't aerodynamic to prove a point about a SpongeBob SquarePants episode really makes me feel strange things
I really like these videos. Also, video suggestion: ranking SpongeBob season 2 episodes on a tier list.
im litterally started working on that yesturday, what a coincidence, it should be out this week
I never realized before when watching this episode, but those bomb pies are shown to be very unstable; a crumb of it took out the office wall of the Krusty Krab ffs!

Call it cartoon logic, but the episode should've ended there: The Krusty Krab a smoldering crater and Spongebob's ears ringing as he lays under the rubble
More than anything just be able to notice Squidward has a soft spot for SpongeBob
This is one of my favorite episodes

Yay
I believe that the reason the pirates disguised the bombs as pies was so they could smuggle them without raising suspicion from the authorities.
Whatever happened to those pirates that gave squidward the pie
I’m gonna expand on the pirate theory we never really see Mr. Krabs prior crew but we see his Navy crew but that’s different but we never see his pirate crew
And as grandpa crab states that Mr. Krabs is gonna be the best pirate but he gave that up
So I think these were Mr. Krabs pirate crew before he sold the ship that used to be the crusty crab and now they won’t revenge for losing their job as pirates but Mr. Krabs would recognize them if they weren’t wearing disguises so they took out the pirate mantle again they were trying to kill SpongeBob to kill Mr. Krabs because he took the one job they could do successfully away from them and turned their pirate shipped and job into a restaurant so they won’t revenge

Thanks!!

Hey I know a good SpongeBob theory you can do why don't you do the superhero theory?
soon
add the fact that spoungebob was sucking his fingers when they thought he ate the pie

There is even a newer episode about National No Spongebob Day where everyone leaves town and burns a giant wooden spongebob effigy.
I don't think the town would revolt if SpongeBob did un-alive. There was even an episode where the whole town took a vacation away from him.

😮
2:11 dude did not just say "Smoking bullet"
well I mean he could have been an enemy of mr crabs in the past bc MR crabs and his family were pirates
If Squidward was able to survive a pie bomb to the face, who's to say SpongeBob wouldn't have been able to survive if he had eaten one?
Considering squidward has canonically tanked a nuke, and survived a beating from omniman, along with tanking the pie, and spongebob has consistently shown to be more powerful than squidward, he'd definitely survive eating it
