i think his name is interesting too. he died being shot out of a cannon, then his name is the flying dutchman. that really added to the credibility for me.
It would be a lot darker if it weren’t for the fact that he already survived getting shot out of a cannon, crashing into a house, and having said house sink into the Earth. The thing about theories like this is that for every time there’s something that proves the theory, there’s something that disproves the theory.
The closest we ever got to spongebob acknowledging patchy before the animation was him getting the strangest feeling that a pirate and parrot were arguing about him
yeah I feel Alex still missed out some episodes, even explanation for stop motion Patchy on Christmas special (sure even on that episode he didn't met Spongebob)
Yeah man. Its me Mister.bigfanboi of DHMIS, salad fingers, crypt tv, helloiammarymary. I've seen horror my entire life, and holy sh*t this is so crazy that, that scene was in spongebob for real.
I genuinely thought that disturbing "patchy with potty's head having a seizure" thing must've been something Alex Bale made up for the theory because it just looks so goddamn out of place and terrifying, but nope that's actually in the episode. What. the. hell.
The scene with Patchy dying is horrifying. They even stopped the singing for a few seconds so the scene is even more creepy.. xD They want you to know there is something weird in this scene
If Patchy suffocated while buried in the sand, and then his body was taken by sea dwellers to be used as a display, then the statements that "he was buried" and also that "he was never laid to rest" are actually both true...
The fact that Alex is basically saying patchy goes mentally insane over not being able to see SpongeBob and he slowly dies in the sand one of the most painful deaths imaginable is insanely dark
Pachy dieing in the sand both fuflills the comic saying he was never layer to rest while also making sence the line "this was the jacket i was buerried in" since he was technicly buerried. And the comic saying that his boddy was put to show after his Death in a store front could be seen as a telaphone version of his backstory, where the show creators pupitierd his likness after Death for monatary gain.
A comment from Bale himself probably is- no, might be seen as enough praise but yeah, this is a really cool connection. Good job, and I wish you joy in your life and in whatever passion projects/hobbies you may have. (Unless you were somehow an evil monster, haha)
I love how Patchy knows SpongeBob lives underwater, yet doesn't think to use waterproof paper and waterproof ink to send an Invite to the sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea
This theory actually makes "Arrgh!" Way funnier because I always thought is why TF did the flying Dutchman need help finding his own treasure, but it makes sense because he's patchy. He was never a real pirate, he was just some guy that dressed as a pirate around the house watching TV his whole life, of course he doesn't know WTF he's doing

It’s actually kind of annoying. His videos aren’t that good and him trying to force it on us is just really annoying. I literally skipped through his intermissions
This theory literally tops MatPat's Dora the Explorer theory that Swiper is a demon who trapped Dora in a computer game for all eternity in terms of horror and heartbreaking storytelling. I wonder if Alex will do more creepy theories on our favorite childhood shows. MatPat is now retired, but the Theory channels shall continue strong with long time editors/script writers becoming the new hosts for each channel. Alex Bale deserves to be on the same level of appreciation as the Theory Channels do.
Just finished watching live premier, omg that was honestly amazing. Not just the theory but the ARG is getting to a point where this is insane. I am seriously more invested in that story than the actual sponge-bob theories. Alex Bale is extremely talented and I'm sure he will graduate to being an AMAZING cinematographer/director/anything he chooses to do.

@@soundwavesuperior28 well everyone with their tastes but the theories are part of a bigger story just in case one day you are interested in seeing what lies behind
You know if you look at this theory as a metaphor for Alex becoming the SpongeBob guy, it probably is supposed to parallel Alex starting off liking and maybe even appreciating SpongeBob until his muse forces it to become his whole life, making him resentful to the franchise.
I reckon Potty being a puppet is important symbolism and him influencing patchy shows the power the SpongeBob fan club's control over him. Therefore, Potty's head on Patchy as he dies displays the naïve version of Patchy dying and being replaced by the powerful Flying Dutchman and him eating Potty is him coming to terms with his past.
@@sofasolanum694 Potty represents Patchy, as when Potty was a doll, spongebob fanclub controlled Patchy, and when we see Potty's head on Patchy, Patchy became much stronger, just like spongebob fanclub controlled him
Surprised you didn't mention the episode "Ugh" where Patchy is shown to be filming his part of the show in prehistoric times. And while at first it seems to be just a low-budget film set, the T-Rex at the end is treated as real. Perhaps Patchy already had the ability to time travel when alive?
I think my favorite thing about these theories is how the lore ties in with his other series. Happy Meat Farms is consistent over all of his series, and I'm interested to see how it ties in with the end of this one. I can't even imagine how much work and dedication is required to create something like this. Well done, mate. Can't wait to see where this goes.
I’m guessing the muse originated at happy meat farms, given that Victoria works as an advertisement director there and she had one. She was Probably patient zero and spread it to Alex
I think it’s pretty clear that you’re still using some of the techniques that you used in Old Root for this and I love it. Such as hiding things in areas where they are just barely visible. Love everything you are doing with this and can’t wait to see more from you!!
Not only do we get a really bonkers and entertaining Spongebob Theory, but also a ton of new reveals of lore for the ARG, I am loving this so much, I can't wait to see what's to come.
I’ve always been a bigger fan of the short films and ARGs than the spongebob theories. However, the fact you managed to creatively merge the two in a way that satisfies everyone and communicated a very important message can’t be understated as both brilliant and inspiring.
I think "the muse" is an SCP, I think you should get on to it. I mean from the looks of it, it already consumed 3 people (that we know of) I think it's at least an Euclid class
Patchy really went and found out what ghost parrot tasted like. Can't even blame him; imagine being stuck with someone as annoying as Potty your whole afterlife.
Honestly, I don't understand why people hate on your other content, I for one find them enjoyable to watch. The Midnight Snack one genuinely gave me shivers down my spine when I first watched it, and I would love to see more in the future. Or possibly even pitch an idea if you're up for it. I love your Spongebob Theory videos and while it would suck to see a "final" episode of this series, I totally look forward to any new ideas you have in the future.
I love the theories, but now I am eager to see what is going to happen to Alex and his friends, and why is the muse doing that stuff. Is it multiplying to take revenge on happy meat farm or is it going for a more villain cliche plan like world domination?
Personally I think the Muses are just marketing tools for Happy Meat Farms, they literally are designed to make someone popular, get them work in entertainment or advertising roles, talk up Happy Meat Farms, then expands to more victim/influencers.
@@Roz4628 that makes sense, but then the lore would not make sense because the muse is a happy meat farm's experiment that escaped from the laboratory like was shown to us in "happy meat farm genome modification"
I'm pretty sure the muses are the "children" that possess hosts to achieve the new world order, while "mother" herself is a muse as well due to similarities. The escaped host is likely to be the founder of HMF and the one who leaked the videos because the voices at the end of this videos say "don't feed them" and "it's not me"
What if the muses can change form and the female friend who at the start of the episode talked with alex was one of the muses who got rid of the original human, took her place and used alex trust to let the muse in his house to get rid of him too? If that theory is correct the part where we hear a voice saying "it's not me" could have been the female friend who is triyng to tell alex that she is dead and the person he had met was a muse
This is insane. These videos are honestly the most entertaining thing I get out of UA-cam, not only does it blow my mind with huge connections in SpongeBob, but each video puts huge plot points to “the reason Alex makes these theories” in theatrical horror shorts. I don’t even know how to explain how well these videos are put together and how it keeps me hyped for each one to come out. your a mastermind Alex, you could come out strongly as a film producer for full on movies whenever you want, incredible.
33:04 Ok, can we pause to appreciate how Alex deliberately combines lighting and wardrobe in these scenes to make it look like his head has been completely swallowed by darkness, whenever his back is turned? It happens a few times throughout the video, and greatly enhances the eeriness of his character.
As a kid, I've always thought the same about Patchy and The Flying Dutchman being the same. It's just that i would have never thought about time travel being how they are linked. I feel like Alex is making mind blowing theories and some theories that i thought about. Keep up the good work. (i also like the skits he throws in with the monster lol)
IT is weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my content. Sometimes IT is annoying. But right now, IT would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear eqv
this also explains patchy’s absence from the airing of the spongebob movie, something which patchy would NEVER do missing the opening premiere of the spongebob movie is like walking the plank for him, and since the movie takes place canonically at the end of the timeline it also explains why he is never mentioned or appears PERIOD.
Speaking of the movies, i have a theory that adds onto this one, i think patchy got out of the sand and then wrote the formula for the krabby patty in his diary, then starved to death and became that skeleton with the book at the start of sponge out of water
Technically according to camp koral chronologically Spongebob first created the formula but it was destroyed to ensure the future would play out properly, lets not forget time travel is a familiar concept to the series with SB- 129 so its not all implausible.
I‘m really impressed about the evidence Alex finds to prove his theories! F.e. how he remembered there were SpongeBob shorts in the Neptune theory or how he found these interviews from 2009 in this theory! Also how he notices such small details like the clothes and the map is so impressive
I think the muse never dissapears as the girl says i think that it just becomes one with the owner/host of it and the fact that everyone ignores how Alex watches the whole series in a matter of seconds in 30:00 is funny
The way these somehow scare me, but they are so interesting and addictive. It's like I need to watch more, but it doesn't help I'm in the dark w nothing but my red leds so it's scary in here lmaoo.
If I had a nickel for every time alex was possed by a dangerous entity feeding on his creativity and then have to pass it on to someone else; I’d have two nickels. Witch isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
I love this one cause it's A : very dark but also lighthearted at the same time B: it actually makes sense when you think about it cause the flying dutchman targets spongebob specifically and those close to him so even if sponge bob might have something better to do but makes him get involved
I came for the SpongeBob theories and stayed for this awesome ARG like (horror?) I have never seen anything like this. The whole thing with the muse, and how Alex has sounded less stable as episodes go on. Seriously a masterpiece of film. I’m wondering if the channel is going to get completely “rebranded” due to the muse finding a new “host” or if the SpongeBob theories are going to be uploaded to another channel, starting at theory 9. Regardless the future of this channel is bright:
@@kittythedragon7789 he “passed the muse on” from what it sounds like. And Alex in passing it off to his friend no longer has it, just like how his other friend passed it to him and lost it. If the muse was reproducing, it would be highly inefficient. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and observe how things unfold.
@@GhostHunterDipperPines I disagree. From the very end of this video, you can see tendrils behind victoria (iirc) and that implies she was lying about the muse not being with her (combined with her still making HMF commercials). And implies that there are multiple muses/it's reproducing. Also, the muse reproducing does mean there are more of the monsters, and regardless of inefficency, that seems like it'd be what it wants.
@@maggieent3215 I’m pretty sure that was the first muse. It has the exact same voice as Alex’s muse. Someone like Alex would go through the effort of giving different muses different voices.
When I first seen the Patchy with Potty's head scene, I just glossed over it just thinking it was something cartoonish. But, after watching this, I feel scared. That scene with the explanation feels traumatizing.
I think starting with the twist is a nice spin on things. Though I'm perfectly okay with just watching your shorts and horror films, so keep them coming.
This is so odd and beautiful. I came for the spongebob theories but stayed for the cinematography and narrative. Dude you're waaaAaay talented and this series is art 🖤☠
Can we take a moment to appreciate the little horror clips in between theories. For me, ya sure the theories are fun to watch but the horror clips are just, BEAUTIFUL. Keep up the great work alex.
@@hamsa3579 He makes short horror films on his channel. It's what he specialized in before he gained traction with SpongeBob theories, you should check out the rest of his work sometime, I think you'd like it
I just rewatched conspiracy 1-7. And now i realize his arg stuff is getting interesting. Im excited to see where this theory is going. Along with the arg stuff.
Fun fact, most pirates didn't wear eye patches due to eye problems/missing eye. They would keep one eye in the darkness of the patch during the day then flip the patch to the other side for pulling night shifts.
The muses seem similar to cult of chucky in a way, multiplying through person after person. I gotta say, I love the combo of the skit in the videos and spongebob theories, it's really fun and adds another layer to the content Alex makes.
Man, I love his filmmaking bits just as much as the theories. Whatever non-Spongebob Theory videos he ends up making in the future, I hope he continues to flex his filmmaking alongside them.
I know this has been said, but the fact that Alex came up with this story AND all of these theories that are actually compelling is amazing. Most people would have never thought of any of this shit. 😂 Kudos, man!
I have three things to say. No.1 i am traumatized and questioning the details on every theory that you uncovered. No.2 i love how you make these i've been watching spongebob since i was a 9 or 7 years old and i never knew this kind of details in my childhood. No.3 no further questions nor comment, just love how you make these theories
I know right?! HECK, Alex Bale's channel profile picture made a cameo in "MatPat, I STOLE Your Channel!" video (gosh it's only now that I see the appropriateness of that title)...I'm still waiting for Matpat to make an entire theory on how this whole thing fits together, only for him to make a bunch of jokes on how much the quality of these videos are a bit better then his XD P.S. I still have noting but respect for Matpat
For every theory, the bullshit title makes me think: “No way he can justify this in the slightest!” And then the video ends I’m convinced of it anyway. The fact that these theories are the SIDE to a horror story that WE the audience then get to theorize about is just the ‘i ordered a cherry and got a bunch of extra stuff I love’ cherry on top. Alex, you make content that is the best of the best.
I wanted something to listen to while I play video games, and I ended up taking a 35 minute break. Video kept me engaged the entire time. Seriously Alex, you do an amazing job with these videos, and you can see just how much skill and effort goes into the cinematography and all the live action shots. It really is at the point where the theory itself is the least interesting part of the video (no offense meant.) I truly do hope you enjoy making these, and not just out of obligation. Hope you're doing well.
I have got to say, I've absolutely loved to follow this story you've created Alex! The camera shots where incredible! It's entirely unique and it has been so fun to see you integrate it within your "normal" videos. I was having a tough time in the beginning though because most of the time I'd just click off at the end which was where you first would introduce the next part of the film. I'm really glad you decided to cut it up within the video, it really helped keep me engaged! Great work all around my friend, keep it up as much as you are comfortable with!
I love theories like this. So over the top and silly it just circles around and makes sense. Made one myself called the Ramona Badwolf theory. Sadly the franchise it’s for is very small.
Just found your channel and have been binging your SpongeBob theories, and this is by far the most unnerving one yet. I legit got shivers down my spine with the Potty and Patchy convulsing in pain scene. Holy crap! Good job dude, got me out quoting Bible verses trying to calm myself down a bit, and I never get scared lol.
13:10 Yes the Flying the Dutchman was never put to rest and he claims that he was buried but let’s think about that. When the Dutchman says he was buried, I don’t think he was talking about a proper burial or anything like that, but the day he died where he smothered to death in the sand. So the Flying Dutchman was never put to rest since he died on a deserted island and his body was never found and his body was washed over by the sand where he was “buried”.
Man that’s a crazy theory but it makes sense how you explain it. The part about them showing his body with Potty’s head blew my mind. There’s no way they would actually sever Patchy’s head. It’s an illusion for sure.
You forgot something, that when patchy suffocated he was wearing his usual outfit. And even if he wasn't that can't explain how the cuts came from the shirt
The yellow details in the ARG sections of this series growing more prominent is such a cool detail! Especially with Alex trying to cover his yellow shirt with a jacket last episode, before in the episode fully embracing SpongeBob with an explicitly SpongeBob-themed hoodie and plaster to show how much it’s taken over his life!

It would be a lot darker if it weren’t for the fact that he already survived getting shot out of a cannon, crashing into a house, and having said house sink into the Earth.

alex is so good at film making. every theory, i enjoy equally the theory and the in between segments. absolutely masterful.
Lol nah, I skip every single segment that isn’t sponge bob related
@@soundwavesuperior28 lame
@@soundwavesuperior28 well everyone with their tastes but the theories are part of a bigger story just in case one day you are interested in seeing what lies behind
@@soundwavesuperior28 agreed
@@soundwavesuperior28 I've noticed this trend where everyone who is a child does that. I'm guessing you're a little kid then, eh?
Damn it really went from "SQUILIAM IS A FRAUD" to "TIME TRAVILING GHOST PIRATE"
You know if you look at this theory as a metaphor for Alex becoming the SpongeBob guy, it probably is supposed to parallel Alex starting off liking and maybe even appreciating SpongeBob until his muse forces it to become his whole life, making him resentful to the franchise.
I reckon Potty being a puppet is important symbolism and him influencing patchy shows the power the SpongeBob fan club's control over him. Therefore, Potty's head on Patchy as he dies displays the naïve version of Patchy dying and being replaced by the powerful Flying Dutchman and him eating Potty is him coming to terms with his past.
What.
@@sofasolanum694 Potty represents Patchy, as when Potty was a doll, spongebob fanclub controlled Patchy, and when we see Potty's head on Patchy, Patchy became much stronger, just like spongebob fanclub controlled him
Surprised you didn't mention the episode "Ugh" where Patchy is shown to be filming his part of the show in prehistoric times. And while at first it seems to be just a low-budget film set, the T-Rex at the end is treated as real. Perhaps Patchy already had the ability to time travel when alive?
@Orio Pele which episode is this?
@@tiffanysolano1461 THE EPISODE "UGH"!!!
@@tiffanysolano1461 the episode UGH
Yeah i believe this because at the end of the episode the t-rex ate patchy but somehow we get to see him alive and well the next timr he is shown.
@@treyhill1773 Because he's a TV character. Most likely like Potty like the T-Rex is a puppet.
Patchy being buried in the sand legit traumatized me and i found out by this
I think my favorite thing about these theories is how the lore ties in with his other series. Happy Meat Farms is consistent over all of his series, and I'm interested to see how it ties in with the end of this one. I can't even imagine how much work and dedication is required to create something like this. Well done, mate. Can't wait to see where this goes.
I’m guessing the muse originated at happy meat farms, given that Victoria works as an advertisement director there and she had one. She was Probably patient zero and spread it to Alex
@@solalabell9674 theres much more of it, more people have muses, theres whole channels, and a lot of lore
@@axl256gamesx7 more than just alex and cynical critic?
Hi, question, do all 8 of his theories have that storyline, all the way back to 1? I just discovered this and I'm so.curious about what's happening XD
Pizza time pizza is not a cult...
I think it’s pretty clear that you’re still using some of the techniques that you used in Old Root for this and I love it. Such as hiding things in areas where they are just barely visible. Love everything you are doing with this and can’t wait to see more from you!!
Not only do we get a really bonkers and entertaining Spongebob Theory, but also a ton of new reveals of lore for the ARG, I am loving this so much, I can't wait to see what's to come.
What does ARG mean?
@@whoistherealmonster4939 alternate reality game
@@SilentPower-ym1uy thanks
I’ve always been a bigger fan of the short films and ARGs than the spongebob theories.
However, the fact you managed to creatively merge the two in a way that satisfies everyone and communicated a very important message can’t be understated as both brilliant and inspiring.
I think "the muse" is an SCP, I think you should get on to it. I mean from the looks of it, it already consumed 3 people (that we know of) I think it's at least an Euclid class
The theories are great but the arg part is pretty cliche.
I'm gonna tell someone in 05 council that you're here, and not hiding your IP
"OldRoot"
I started dying laughing when he said” this mother f**ker ate him!!!!”🤣🤣🤣
The second Alex post’s another theory we all get very eager to see how he responds even when we still have to be patient.
@yes dumpling roll?
Patchy really went and found out what ghost parrot tasted like. Can't even blame him; imagine being stuck with someone as annoying as Potty your whole afterlife.
Honestly, I don't understand why people hate on your other content, I for one find them enjoyable to watch. The Midnight Snack one genuinely gave me shivers down my spine when I first watched it, and I would love to see more in the future. Or possibly even pitch an idea if you're up for it.
I love your Spongebob Theory videos and while it would suck to see a "final" episode of this series, I totally look forward to any new ideas you have in the future.
I love the theories, but now I am eager to see what is going to happen to Alex and his friends, and why is the muse doing that stuff. Is it multiplying to take revenge on happy meat farm or is it going for a more villain cliche plan like world domination?
Personally I think the Muses are just marketing tools for Happy Meat Farms, they literally are designed to make someone popular, get them work in entertainment or advertising roles, talk up Happy Meat Farms, then expands to more victim/influencers.
@@Roz4628 that makes sense, but then the lore would not make sense because the muse is a happy meat farm's experiment that escaped from the laboratory like was shown to us in "happy meat farm genome modification"
The end twist was incredible
I'm pretty sure the muses are the "children" that possess hosts to achieve the new world order, while "mother" herself is a muse as well due to similarities. The escaped host is likely to be the founder of HMF and the one who leaked the videos because the voices at the end of this videos say "don't feed them" and "it's not me"
What if the muses can change form and the female friend who at the start of the episode talked with alex was one of the muses who got rid of the original human, took her place and used alex trust to let the muse in his house to get rid of him too? If that theory is correct the part where we hear a voice saying "it's not me" could have been the female friend who is triyng to tell alex that she is dead and the person he had met was a muse
This is insane. These videos are honestly the most entertaining thing I get out of UA-cam, not only does it blow my mind with huge connections in SpongeBob, but each video puts huge plot points to “the reason Alex makes these theories” in theatrical horror shorts. I don’t even know how to explain how well these videos are put together and how it keeps me hyped for each one to come out. your a mastermind Alex, you could come out strongly as a film producer for full on movies whenever you want, incredible.
33:04
Ok, can we pause to appreciate how Alex deliberately combines lighting and wardrobe in these scenes to make it look like his head has been completely swallowed by darkness, whenever his back is turned? It happens a few times throughout the video, and greatly enhances the eeriness of his character.
As a kid, I've always thought the same about Patchy and The Flying Dutchman being the same. It's just that i would have never thought about time travel being how they are linked. I feel like Alex is making mind blowing theories and some theories that i thought about. Keep up the good work. (i also like the skits he throws in with the monster lol)
Absolutely iconic video 🙌🏾
IT is weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my content. Sometimes IT is annoying. But right now, IT would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear eqv
indeed

the part where they died was creepy tho
@@Fairyxblinks STOP!!
Oh my god, the shot of him convulsing on the island is actually insanity. Like a PG DHMIS
Thats the most depressing theory in the history of Spongebob.
Agreed
@Chase Studios yeah, because chances are, it is a grim dark theory
this also explains patchy’s absence from the airing of the spongebob movie, something which patchy would NEVER do missing the opening premiere of the spongebob movie is like walking the plank for him, and since the movie takes place canonically at the end of the timeline it also explains why he is never mentioned or appears PERIOD.
Speaking of the movies, i have a theory that adds onto this one, i think patchy got out of the sand and then wrote the formula for the krabby patty in his diary, then starved to death and became that skeleton with the book at the start of sponge out of water
Technically according to camp koral chronologically Spongebob first created the formula but it was destroyed to ensure the future would play out properly, lets not forget time travel is a familiar concept to the series with SB- 129 so its not all implausible.
@@user-jf4lt4uk7u camp coral is non canon bs that literally contradicts the original
25:56
This bit always give me freaking chills for some reason...
Like if I were to see this as a kid this probably would have traumatized me...
I‘m really impressed about the evidence Alex finds to prove his theories! F.e. how he remembered there were SpongeBob shorts in the Neptune theory or how he found these interviews from 2009 in this theory! Also how he notices such small details like the clothes and the map is so impressive
I genuinely thought you added in that scene of patchy dying on the beach, but no. Legit feels like something out of a creepypasta
Another point to make is that you never see Patchy and the Dutchman in the same scene 👀
Makes sense actually, it doesn’t erase the existence of patchy in the past, rather Dutchman being able to go anywhere in time
omg thats true plus it doesn't seem that patchy can see the dutchman in any of the episodes they are both in
@@bluefirewolf1991 end never mentioned him at all
@@haunterghostpoison4651 that right omg this actually makes sense
I think the muse never dissapears as the girl says i think that it just becomes one with the owner/host of it and the fact that everyone ignores how Alex watches the whole series in a matter of seconds in 30:00 is funny
He misses a little detail and proceeds to watch 63 hours of SpongeBob SquarePants, that's dedication.
The way these somehow scare me, but they are so interesting and addictive. It's like I need to watch more, but it doesn't help I'm in the dark w nothing but my red leds so it's scary in here lmaoo.
If I had a nickel for every time alex was possed by a dangerous entity feeding on his creativity and then have to pass it on to someone else; I’d have two nickels. Witch isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
I love this one cause it's
A : very dark but also lighthearted at the same time
B: it actually makes sense when you think about it cause the flying dutchman targets spongebob specifically and those close to him so even if sponge bob might have something better to do but makes him get involved
I love how you find a good way to combine legit Spongebob theories and an arg at the same time.
That person in the sponge that could fly is played by Stephen Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob SquarePants
I came for the SpongeBob theories and stayed for this awesome ARG like (horror?) I have never seen anything like this. The whole thing with the muse, and how Alex has sounded less stable as episodes go on. Seriously a masterpiece of film. I’m wondering if the channel is going to get completely “rebranded” due to the muse finding a new “host” or if the SpongeBob theories are going to be uploaded to another channel, starting at theory 9. Regardless the future of this channel is bright:
I’d say that the muse seem more like it was reproducing then finding a new host
@@kittythedragon7789 he “passed the muse on” from what it sounds like. And Alex in passing it off to his friend no longer has it, just like how his other friend passed it to him and lost it. If the muse was reproducing, it would be highly inefficient. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and observe how things unfold.
@@GhostHunterDipperPines I disagree. From the very end of this video, you can see tendrils behind victoria (iirc) and that implies she was lying about the muse not being with her (combined with her still making HMF commercials).
And implies that there are multiple muses/it's reproducing. Also, the muse reproducing does mean there are more of the monsters, and regardless of inefficency, that seems like it'd be what it wants.
@@maggieent3215 I’m pretty sure that was the first muse. It has the exact same voice as Alex’s muse. Someone like Alex would go through the effort of giving different muses different voices.
well if you watch the pizza family thing you will know what happen with the muse
One single plot hole if patchy loved SpongeBob so much he would know who krabs is and not say “ some random guy I’ve never seen “
When I first seen the Patchy with Potty's head scene, I just glossed over it just thinking it was something cartoonish. But, after watching this, I feel scared. That scene with the explanation feels traumatizing.
yea its his body in panic because hes suffocating in the sand.... thats,, horrific
Thanks for giving us nightmares 🤣🤣
Everything I thought I knew about SpongeBob is a lie...
no
@@td_is_infinite667 ok

I think starting with the twist is a nice spin on things.
Though I'm perfectly okay with just watching your shorts and horror films, so keep them coming.
26:13 holy freak that scene literally made me tear up in fear. I can't believe we actually missed that

In all seriousness, this channel is absolutely fantastic!
This reminded me to take my meds. Thank you
Can we take a moment to appreciate the little horror clips in between theories. For me, ya sure the theories are fun to watch but the horror clips are just, BEAUTIFUL. Keep up the great work alex.
Yes we can
@@hamsa3579 He makes short horror films on his channel. It's what he specialized in before he gained traction with SpongeBob theories, you should check out the rest of his work sometime, I think you'd like it
I just rewatched conspiracy 1-7. And now i realize his arg stuff is getting interesting. Im excited to see where this theory is going. Along with the arg stuff.
Yeah I found the channel from his herobrine arg
Will there be more Theorys?
Fun fact, most pirates didn't wear eye patches due to eye problems/missing eye. They would keep one eye in the darkness of the patch during the day then flip the patch to the other side for pulling night shifts.
The muses seem similar to cult of chucky in a way, multiplying through person after person. I gotta say, I love the combo of the skit in the videos and spongebob theories, it's really fun and adds another layer to the content Alex makes.
I think they do something kinda different, and they create hybrids of the "vessels" they infect
It scared the shit out of me cause I woke up in the middle of the night with the spooky music
@@axl256gamesx7 hmm interesting, that'd would be pretty cool and an interesting concept
@@watchinyoutube8919 lmao
We need a video all about Mr krabs. Especially with how google says he dies
Man, I love his filmmaking bits just as much as the theories. Whatever non-Spongebob Theory videos he ends up making in the future, I hope he continues to flex his filmmaking alongside them.
I know this has been said, but the fact that Alex came up with this story AND all of these theories that are actually compelling is amazing. Most people would have never thought of any of this shit. 😂 Kudos, man!
I am sure he has a team for this, but still astonishing!
He’s amazing right?!
I know the theory’s are great, but yall are sleeping on the storyline with the monster things in his basement that plot twist was wild😂
I have three things to say.
No.1 i am traumatized and questioning the details on every theory that you uncovered.
No.2 i love how you make these i've been watching spongebob since i was a 9 or 7 years old and i never knew this kind of details in my childhood.
No.3 no further questions nor comment, just love how you make these theories
8:37 tho like why did spongebob look like that 💀
This person has in my opinion reached a level of theorizing and filmaking, that MATPAT can only dream of. 👌
Matpat is always superior
@@duhruhmoon n't
I think that Alex and Mat are on the same level in terms of theorizing
I know right?! HECK, Alex Bale's channel profile picture made a cameo in "MatPat, I STOLE Your Channel!" video (gosh it's only now that I see the appropriateness of that title)...I'm still waiting for Matpat to make an entire theory on how this whole thing fits together, only for him to make a bunch of jokes on how much the quality of these videos are a bit better then his XD
P.S. I still have noting but respect for Matpat
For every theory, the bullshit title makes me think: “No way he can justify this in the slightest!”
And then the video ends I’m convinced of it anyway.
The fact that these theories are the SIDE to a horror story that WE the audience then get to theorize about is just the ‘i ordered a cherry and got a bunch of extra stuff I love’ cherry on top.
Alex, you make content that is the best of the best.
This episode is the most disturbing yet, even more disturbing than goofy goobers and eating primitive fish!
I wanted something to listen to while I play video games, and I ended up taking a 35 minute break.
Video kept me engaged the entire time.
Seriously Alex, you do an amazing job with these videos, and you can see just how much skill and effort goes into the cinematography and all the live action shots. It really is at the point where the theory itself is the least interesting part of the video (no offense meant.)
I truly do hope you enjoy making these, and not just out of obligation.
Hope you're doing well.
25:51 roses are red, cactuses are prickly
Holy fuck that escalated quickly
i love how the theories are getting darker, and how they don't even appear in the show, it's so cool
15:05 Makes me wonder how many theories he's scrapped because he hit a dead end.
THE ALEX BALE THE-
I have got to say, I've absolutely loved to follow this story you've created Alex! The camera shots where incredible! It's entirely unique and it has been so fun to see you integrate it within your "normal" videos. I was having a tough time in the beginning though because most of the time I'd just click off at the end which was where you first would introduce the next part of the film. I'm really glad you decided to cut it up within the video, it really helped keep me engaged! Great work all around my friend, keep it up as much as you are comfortable with!
I love theories like this. So over the top and silly it just circles around and makes sense. Made one myself called the Ramona Badwolf theory. Sadly the franchise it’s for is very small.
Just found your channel and have been binging your SpongeBob theories, and this is by far the most unnerving one yet. I legit got shivers down my spine with the Potty and Patchy convulsing in pain scene. Holy crap! Good job dude, got me out quoting Bible verses trying to calm myself down a bit, and I never get scared lol.
when the athiest kid starts praying
“THE MOTHERFCKER ATE HIM!” genuinely made me laugh out loud i was not expecting that at all LMAO😊
This legitimately had me on the edge on my seat. I can not wait to see how it unfolds.
Kid Fish: Those guys are such dorks.
Flying Dutchman: Yeah, but they're MY dorks.
13:10
Yes the Flying the Dutchman was never put to rest and he claims that he was buried but let’s think about that. When the Dutchman says he was buried, I don’t think he was talking about a proper burial or anything like that, but the day he died where he smothered to death in the sand. So the Flying Dutchman was never put to rest since he died on a deserted island and his body was never found and his body was washed over by the sand where he was “buried”.
People could’ve found his body
Man that’s a crazy theory but it makes sense how you explain it. The part about them showing his body with Potty’s head blew my mind. There’s no way they would actually sever Patchy’s head. It’s an illusion for sure.
I always come back to this channel for one thing, not the films, but the theories!! they are the BEST thing in this channel.
33:12 the band-aid changes... dmn gave me chills
So, is anyone gonna talk about how Patchy’s hand is the wrong way? LOL 27:43
The storyline with the muse is so good, I love seeing how the story progresses with each upload on top of the theories
THE PLOTLINE OF THE SPONGEBOB VIDOES AND THE MUSE IS LITERALLY GINIOUS
i actually cried a bit at the end 29:29
This is the first theory you've made that's legitimately freaked me out. Bravo!
This will give me nightmares 25:55
You forgot something, that when patchy suffocated he was wearing his usual outfit. And even if he wasn't that can't explain how the cuts came from the shirt
The convulsing scene genuinely scared me jesus
Same
The yellow details in the ARG sections of this series growing more prominent is such a cool detail! Especially with Alex trying to cover his yellow shirt with a jacket last episode, before in the episode fully embracing SpongeBob with an explicitly SpongeBob-themed hoodie and plaster to show how much it’s taken over his life!
WOOO YEAH! Hopefully the conclusion to both the Conspiracies and the Muse ARG. Keep doing what you do best, Alex!!
