If they've lived in complete darkness for long enough, for enough generations, then it's unlikely that their eyes are even functional, if they even have any at all. Note the abject lack of reaction to the equivalent of a sun coming into existence and shining a light more concentrated than they've ever seen down on them. At the very least, there would be a flinch or an attempt to flee. Instead, nothing, and life carries on as normal. It's best not to anthropomorphize things too much. They are as alien to us as we are to them - and you couldn't ask for a better shot of a visit from alien life as that shot of the submersible hovering and shining above that deep sea brine lake.

The jokes aren't random- nematodes really eat everything, starfish live under rocks (plus the adage about living under a rock means being ignorant) and crabs are greedy hoarders. The idea of it being oil is maybe confused by the It came from Goo Lagoon episode with toxic purple bubbles which in itself is clever because only Plankton isn't threatened, probably playing on how his species tolerates oil spills well but then he's also meant to be stupid he's a single cell organism after all.
There are actually lagoons under the sea floor...they have a higher salt concentration thus forming...hyper-salty water is actually toxic to all who dare goes in...death guaranteed..

There's actually deep sea submarines that are capable of going that far down. My family went to a museum in Cape Cod that showcased one of those submarines; it's a cramped space with only a tiny viewing hole that would otherwise implode from the pressure. They're always coming up with ways to explore the ocean deep because that and caves are the least explored parts of the planet. I used to dream about being one of those deep sea divers.
I remember this blew my mind the first time I saw this part of the documentary. It made me realise that Spongebob is more scientifically accurate than I thought.
so pineapple houses, talking sea fruits, a texan squirrel send into the deep sea to live there, ghosts, kelp flakes and jelly fishing sound scientifically accurate? Seems like I missed some classes, mate.
