It's amazing how intricate the character relationships are in a cartoon. We knew it all along but never fully understood why


1:25 fucking music choices are so good alwayus


11:16 are we the next Rick and Morty fandom.


SpongeBob doesn’t hold a torch to Ren & Stimpy


When he mentioned the episode "Band Geeks" i got chills, that ending is arguably the best ending in ANY tv show ever.

It's the most wholesome thing humans have ever created, so everyone in this planet likely agrees

Didnt they actually reveal it and scrap it as a deleted scene or something in re airs?

Yeah, I have this false memory that they revealed the Krabby Patty secret formula in the Training Video episode ...


2:28 seizure warning please like so other people can see


-Comrade Squidward, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Bikini Bottom


phenomenal video essay! you really came full circle and made a wonderful philosophical point while dissecting the unique formula of early spongebob and how it shaped an entire generation. not one minute of this was wasted. keep up the good work!


Wow Stephen died shortly after this was released. So sad.


i mean the og movie is actually a good movie


Come to think of it, I never met someone who didn't like spongebob, now that's an incredible show.

My neighbors across the street weren't allowed to watch it when they were little because they're parents wouldn't let them 😥

I don't DISlike it. I'm just the only one who grew out of it

@Crooked cat
I hate to say it, but my wife don't like him that much..to tell the truth, she can't stand him and the humor in it :'-(
(But i love her anyway x'D)

My ex boyfriend hated spongebob.. in fact he hated everything i loved... which is why that mess only lasted 2 months. When someone doesnt find spongebob as hilarious as i do, we have fundamentally different values

Crooked cat:

Allow me to introduce myself.  I didn't like spongebob.  Mind you, I was never a cable television watcher.  So I only saw indirect results.

My ex-girlfriend disliked it. That was a strange and uncomfortable discussion. I should have known this video before.

I hate it. I'm in a tiny minority who can't stand this show.

My dad who hated SpongeBob watched 2 episodes and loved it

Crooked cat My teacher when I was a kid told me spongebob is as good as cat crap in a litter box

I would say the same.... But my grandma got annoyed by him when I would watch him back then. 😂


13:43 - 14:13 oh my god..... I AM SQUIDWARD


And the mario kart end of boat race theme!


the ending is very kind of real, saddening, and existential, I never thought I'd hear this lesson and feel the truth behind those words.


You wish that you, a nameless nobody, could place the President of the United States, under arrest.
😂

You wish that you, a nameless nobody, could place the *President of the United States,* under arrest.
😂


Iddve just shown a text saying : SCAM for insurince


That bit at the end was really uplifting and affirming, thank you for that.


Does the first 25ish seconds background music sound like 2000-19


yo, you like the gran turismo games music, and i find that hilarious that im constantly finding soundtracks from them


him calling millenials the most complex generation. My brain: should we tell him about gen z?


I think there was a lot more that made Spongebob great than just the Squidward and Spongebob dynamic. Such as the music, the comedic pacing, nostalgic old art style, character depth and just creative interesting plots. (Btw i wish people that worship the pre-movie Spongebob seasons would stop knocking the newer episodes and have a bit hope for it to get closer to golden age Spongebob than just hoping it to die cause you know it's not ending anytime soon.)


If anyone reading this is suicidal, depressed, anxious, etc. Just know that our species has been alive for 200k+ years yet we have only achieved everything you see right now in the last 300 years. Dinosaurs lived for 65 millions years, meaning that even with all the technology and medical advances we are still in the dark ages and it’s very normal to feel this way.


Great analysis, and ironically, nowhere can this be seen more than in Spongebob: The Musical. In the show, Spongebob is not just a child like in the new episodes. He's a childish adult with real adult desires, aspirations, struggles, and emotions just like the old show. Squidward, meanwhile, isn't just some bitter archetype who is constantly tortured. He is put in an annoying situation, but it's one that's relatable. He also has desires and aspirations, which are constantly alluded to throughout the show, and it all builds up to Squidward's big number where he gets to sing, tap dance, and play clarinet, and actually be happy (only for it to turn out he was just hallucinating, but it's still a satisfying moment).<br>Seriously, if you haven't seen the musical yet, go see it. It's $75 well spent, and honestly, I'd pay another $75 if it meant making the TV show more like that.

nooo way i cant believe you used a Flamingosis song for your outro. That guy was my neighbor when I was a kid!


Mainly cuz spongebob is getting squeezed dry


Never saw a single episode of sponge bob


Ed Edd n Eddy wasn’t cancelled. It actually finished off properly with a movie finale.

@ArtistAnthony

It’s just a fanmade trailer. It ain’t real.

Man, it was amazing. That ending will never be topped.

@ArtistAnthony it's not real at all, the audio used was already recorded ones used in the show.

@ArtistAnthony it's from a youtuber who makes a lot of videos with cartoons, check the channel you'll see what I'm talking about. He made some cool music videos using them too.

@ArtistAnthony it's not a real toonami bit, there's poorly edited font, anime, already used audio clips and a raid shadow legends promo

@Hubster Animation Am I wrong? I think it's going to happen but why would Toonami bring something fake? This is the night version of Cartoon Network and I found DBZ Battle of Gods through them.

The comments are saying it's not real but it's definitely real, the voices are genuine without a doubt, it's on Adult Swim which showcases everything big that's happening and even if it's a Teaser and just made for the heck of it by the devs, I can expect it to be coming and I saw another video like this earlier today.

WildSangrita Another movie for Ed Edd n Eddy??

There's another Movie coming up, I saw the ad and man is it a great improvement.


When I say the rocket power ad Geeze flashing lights


3 minutes without spongebob. This is hard.

I just fucking realized theres a spongebob balloon right next to me irl


This is 100% on point, very intelligent analysis


As long as I don't have to fucking watch it.


squidwards body is long and curved, his pupils are regtangular
Spongebobs boy is short and boxy, his pupils are round

the opposite in every way, never considered that before

Squidward sees things in a boxy manner too. He feels boxed in, he thinks of things in a very categorical way, things are clearly defined in his eyes. Work is work. His creativity is creative, but not really, it's either bland or just bad.
Spongebob sees things in a more rounded manner. Work and play exist at the same time. He views the world in a wide-eyed manner, with joy being the centerpiece that his world revolves around.
Yes squids have rectangular pupils, and sponges don't have eyes. the point is that the two are opposites.

pretty sure squids and sponges have the same difference


Actually there is a new reboot of The Powerpuff Girls on Cartoon Network or it might be on Teletoon


When I was a child I hated Squidward. a tough and depressing decade passed.. and I became a Squidward too.

Bora Moğol and now you probably love squidward.


That Donkey Kong Aquatic Ambiance really makes a motherfucker think while watching this


Plz tell me season 9-13 have this character dynamic


“You only get to be a kid for so long, enjoy it.”
School: NO

“You only get to be a kid for so long, enjoy it.”
School: *NO*

@The Critic Ooooh we got a quirky one here he’s not like the other kids!

@Sauce just say they. no need to say he/she

@The Critic boy if ur generation includes the gacha kids u must be young young

@Jxssixa Technology has made a lot of us disrespectful and ignorant people. My school is a perfect example.

Edit: (Now that I've read the reply section, this isn't a bad example either)

Even worse if you're Japanese, or Korean, or North Korean, or part of a country with strict social standards

I don't typically care about stereotyping and stick a meaningless label on a generation.

But the school joke is underrated and so true XD

@a Distraction Gen Z is literally the saddest generation, don't believe me search it up. Well my comment here is saying that we are doing the worst, as in we aren't feeling the best, mentally.

@RedRazorX-23 School is just a fancy name for "worst place to ever be at HOLY SHIT this place sucks, hell"

@Michael Bolcato Why are people bashing you for expressing your opinions? You seem like a nice person too, people really make a mountain out of a hill. I don't see your other comment that's deleted though, so you probably said something dumb. I'll never know, unless someone who saw it tells me what your deleted comment said.

This is the comment. You've explained how shit school really is, I've already known that it's pure 100% fresh dogshit, but this comment is just, it, this is the comment. Thank you.

@quagmire toilet gaming i don’t know what that means,I’m sorry

School is just a fancy name for “indoctrination center”

@Jxssixa b.s like tiktok should be banned though.... it is run by the chinese government and used to collect data.

@Jxssixa Thank you for the slap on the face, I used to think that too a few years ago, that's just plain narcissism so yeah... Don't think your generation is shit or you might regret it (Thanks.)

@hotgirlsarehot why are you typing in HTML

@The Critic to be fair i hate that part of the generation that is addicted to tik tok and gacha life because to be honest it makes no since most of it is not funny at all like jake or logan paul or the people that get famous for dancing none of the people i just listed are funny

@Michael Bolcato wow so unique you don’t like some social media and a TV show. you are generalizing an entire generation and are apart of the problem.

@Michael Bolcato @1 Minute Funny Videos who asked? What does this have to do with my comment

@The Critic He probably just posted it because he/she didn't want to overthink it, but then you guys just came in and took a big black fart in mike's face

@Michael Bolcato <br>The only thing I have against you is that I feel like you think your better then everyone else

@Michael Bolcato
The only thing I have against you is that I feel like you think your better then everyone else

@Jxssixa <br>This generation is obsessed with technology there’s people who will cry or take there mom to court or lull themselves because they can use the phone and the old generation gave use the technology yeah but funny enough this generation just expects EVERYTHING DAMM THING and you could say no to this generation and they will look themselves or cry or hate t he works because they can’t play fucking GACHA life or watch YouTube or use fucking tiktok. So there I corrected you I hope you understand

@Jxssixa

@Michael Bolcato wow this dude isn’t like other girls. they’re quirky and unique. they don’t like tiktok or social media.

@Jxssixa oh sorry<br>yeah you are right dude really did generalize a whole generation with all that bs

@Jxssixa oh sorry
yeah you are right dude really did generalize a whole generation with all that bs

@Jxssixa are you referring to me or mike's film review

@Whaterman Mans just generalized a whole entire generation

@Michael Bolcato Obsessed with social media? I 100% agree with you with the stupid TikTok dances but you have to understand that older generations GAVE US technology and we simply took it. Don't blame our generation for being obsessed with technology and all this shit because I don't think that this generation created technology. We got given social media and just took it. I don't know if you're talking about technology in a whole, or just social media but I'm assuming that you mean that we're 'obsessed' with technology, correct me if I'm wrong.

@Jxssixa well he could be a nice person you know

@Michael Bolcato This kid really thinks hes one of the "good ones"

@Sauce Thanks for the advice! I just really hate my generation.

@Michael Bolcato My generation was on youtube and watching with their families if they had them, idk live your life bro


I'm trying to pay attention. I really am. There's just too many incredible fucking bangers in this video. Every goddamn song you chose is good.


Sponge Bob after "the Kids Choice Awards"  just uno momento por favor. Uh Yeah IMDd Doesn't Show your Age EmpLemon But Listening to you, Your Not Old Enough to remember the First Kids Choice Awards, I was 1986, and Hosted By Rated K for Kids by Kids. it was when us Kids had the Choice to give the awards. They Should put my Name on that thing, For Best Reviewer. at least as a Nominee.


how about the flintstones?? arent they popular anymore?


Honestly one of the best videos on this platform.


Actually emp we’re technically not millennials, we’re gen z.  I think I’m like a year or 2 older than u based on ur nascar video comment on ur age.


well time to be hyper active lets get funky


This video was so good, I might even need to watch it a second time.

I have watched it for the fourth time now. It doesn' t even get boring. It' s still magnificent.

Bryan Maclean i guess I need to rewatch some sponge bob

Reference from the fry cook competition with Neptune 😂

SurvivetheSurvival Glad someone gets it 😂


I LOVE 19-2000 PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND I LOVE GORILLAZ. ITS MY FAV GORILLAZ SONG


10:00 I'm calling it right now its squidward.

@Daniel coyneYeah. 10:00.
The reveal is at 11:39.

@Rhythmic Squirrel you know we can see what time you were at when you commented, right?


this man just released a whole documentary with no ads 😂🔥

I bought YouTube Premium to get ad free videos but still give money to creators.

@ProtoPropski - The Streamer said "usually" not "always"
Keen eye there commander.

Jokes aside. One or two here or there isn't a problem. it's 😜😜😜 🔥🔥🔥 💀💀💀

And if that's what they want fine... Just...

Good luck. Have fun?

Idk what you want me to say here. I said one thing lol

@X542dash 901

No, they aren't at all neccessary, it's simply derivitive of modern phrases. I honestly think it's pointless, and only serves to confuse, and convolute the understanding of these words, and phrases.

If that is to happen, the understanding behind them may be lost, or even miscommunicated, and misrepresented. Both what we say in the future, now, and then.

After-all what's stoping someone from reading Smile, and Fire as an enjoyment of destruction as apose to saying "It's truly amazing" after-all that could easily happen, and it completely ruins language as a result.

@Eddie Dingle correct. But he also is very diligent about the music and clips that are used to keep from getting slapped with copyright or DMCA claims. They have a harder time doing to him what they do to others

Kundson will release date three to four hour documentary with no ads.

in his other videos, he says that he got false copyright strikes of viacom even though the thing viacom claimed was in the video wasnt even in the video

Video probably gets copyright strikes every few months

@Bosco idk why that day for me there was no ads lmao


No. regular show is a cartoon and started in approximately 2009 which is 11 years newer but gosh dang a whole lot better

I just defeated your statement

Try me with something harder like Jason beats Micheal

Or tanjiro beats meliodas


WHY IS 8-BIT 19-2000 PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND 😭


"Spongebob has something that the Squidwards of the world don't have..."

Pants

Seems that Sponge and Squid are like ying and yang. Pants and Shirt. Eternal suffering and Joy. Simply a squid and a sponge.

@CoinFlip burp that's a small shirt if I ever saw one

one thing i noticed is that spongebob has no shirt but has pant and<br>Squidward has a shirt but no pants.

one thing i noticed is that spongebob has no shirt but has pant and
Squidward has a shirt but no pants.


False, Squidward was proven to be one of the best composers to ever live. He might not be good with instruments or has a talent to play it, but he has a  huge composing experience or a genius that even he isn't aware of.

A lot of it is unintentional though such as Sleepy Time and Suction Cup Symphony.

Yo yeah I never considered that before. Its like he writes these really lovely symphonies and songs but he cant play them because he screws up notes. His music writing talent is always overshadowed by that. Interesting

I have nothing more to say than that this was probably one of the best youtube videos I have ever seen.


spongebob and one peice have been around almost the same time

Wow, but there are so many more One Piece episodes than Spongebob ones


<b>Stephan Hillenburg.. HE WAS NUMBERRR ONEEEEE</b>

*Stephan Hillenburg.. HE WAS NUMBERRR ONEEEEE*


LMAO IT TOOK ME HALF A SECOND TO FINDE SPONGEBOB SHIT ON INSTAGRAM


This video is very wholesome and made me genuinely feel happy for the first time in a while, good job


What episode is zoomed in on spongebob where he is crying with huge blue eyes


Most evil villains in fiction:
7: Voldemort
6: Umbridge
5: Albert Wesker
4: Dio Brando
3: Bill Cipher
2: Jerry from S4E8 of Rick and Morty
1: Guy that slammed the pizza in SpongeBob's face

@Nickbotmax nah im talking about the guy who sold them the candy bar bags

dont forget that guy from chocolate with nuts

@Styx The Pillarmen were pretty good villains

Sum1 <br>Yes, both shows are for the strongest fiercest testosterone-est people.

I like how it turned from spongebob to jojo talk

Nah nah, number 1 is the person or persons who made the Sweet Victory about fifteen seconds long only to follow it by Sicko Mode.

Just a reminder that Jotaro was also a <b>MARINE BIOLOGIST</b>

Just a reminder that Jotaro was also a *MARINE BIOLOGIST*

I have a slight suspicion you watch jojo

Where is my drink? I won't eat that pizza without my drink! (I do not know if it was like that because I watched such an episode in Spanish and german)

Frieza? Goku Black? Kars? Megatron? Prophet of Truth?

@Circlesho you've got a point with Dio, but Kira's issues seem built into his brain rather than caused by outside forces.

@pooper dooper Both Kira and Dio Brando were a victim of circumstance. I'm not gonna spoil the manga but had their situations and childhood been different, they wouldn't be so awful.


Oh man that Gran Turismo 4 music in the background


I think the most equivalent show in children's media would be Pokemon


This really <i>feels</i> like a trending video too, in a good way even so rarely

This really _feels_ like a trending video too, in a good way even so rarely

Too bad youtube doesn't like Emplemon :(


I a 100% agree with this But moderation is key


The German subtitles in this are pretty incredible! All the citations from the episodes in the video weren't just directly translated from the video, the person(s) working on the subtitles looked up what has been said in the German version of the show and cited THAT word for word, and even marked differences in translation between the versions if necessary!

This makes me sad that user-submitted subtitles aren't a thing anymore. I'm lucky to be sufficient in English to understand this video without needing subtitles in my native language, but many others aren't. I'd love to show my favorite English videos to my friends who aren't as fluent in the language as I am. But unless that video's creator hired a company to give the video subtitles or made them themselves, I can't.

I miss this feature as well. Something they could do instead is perhaps having Moderators or Approved channels that have access to editing subtitles. I feel that YouTube might compromise with something like that.


Damn, this video hit HARD especially during the pandemic, I wish I would've stumbled upon this video earlier.

I still remember a couple of weeks ago I was rewatching Spongebob again, and one of my relatives asked if I was watching a cartoon.
I said yes, and he kinda jokingly laughed at me (without any malicious intent), I guess that's how most older adults would react when they find out you're an adult and still watch cartoons ?
I still remember only a short 2~3 years ago I was more of a Spongebob, optimistic about the future, loved my life and just adored my own hobbies.
But as time passed, I started getting jaded, and because some people said I was annoying, I started becoming quiet. And whaddya know after that they start calling me boring.
It's kinda like no matter what you do you can never fit in with society.
I have so many people around me that keep telling me to grow up, stop playing video games and whatnot and be more responsible, and because of that I feel pressured to become "boring".

Honestly this video is the best thing that has happened to me it the past few months.
You're absolutely right, why do we have to force ourselves to be boring just to fit in with other boring people ?
Being all jaded and negative has brought nothing of value to me, in fact it has destroyed both my health and relationships.
From now on, we really should aim to be more like Spongebob, and make the world a better place.

Thank you for the excellent video !

Sad that I try to convince myself that every day, majority of people I’m around at school don’t buy into SpongeBob’s way of life.


I never knew how much I loved spongebob until now, spongebob is one of the only shows aimed towards kids that can get a laugh out of me, especially following the season 2 episodes, spongebob is a legendary classic


Most iconic moment is the heart forming from the tears of Patrick and SpongeBob in the movie


Thank you for this video man, I’m in my early 20’s and like a lot of people have been starting to get a pessimistic view on my life. This reminded me to change my perspective sometimes and act more like sponge….pre season 4


I honestly think this is one of the greatest video ever put out on YouTube


I think my favorite part of this video is how Emp consistently can find screenshots/clips from Spongebob to almost exactly accompany the narrative of the video.


Stephen Hillenburg was a good man he did this for children,<br>Rest In Peace Stephen

-C.S. Lewis.


This video was executed and narrated perfectly. I think anyone can relate to this. You have definitely figured Spongebob out. But not only that, but the key to happiness. Enjoy yourself and live everyday like your last.


The second he said “who is the most important character”, without any prompt i knew it was my man SQT


Thank you so much for this video, you've done more good than you may realize Mr. EmpLemon.

Also, Steamed Hams references, very cultured my lad.

*Thank you so much for this video, you've done more good than you may realize Mr. EmpLemon.*

We loved it as kids because it's sort of sociology and economics 101, or at least it revolves around those things, it's well thought social commentary and not just humor with sea creatures. And yes, it's marxist, in the series itself in the episode where you actually hear "nobody wants to be like squidward, you should be more like spongebob" is said by narrator voice that emulates a corporate propaganda video that teaches employees how to behave ... The sheer amount of time dedicated on the depiction of the greed of mr krabs, of his shady practices, his exploitation of his employees, of how hard the burger flippers and food deliverers can have it, etc ... Just talking about such themes that can be so controversial and that are so much attached to reality makes the show so much more interesting whatever the age.

And when it's not about socio-economics, it gives clever and funny takes on popularity, friendship, family, depression, fear, naivety, complexes, beliefs, loyalty, self image, aging, shame, harassment, imagination, culture, toughness, etc etc, it's on point, it's relatable, it's just good ...


You gotta make more of these never evers


Bro SpongeBob came out when I was 14, and I loved it, and I'm far past my 20s. Almost 40.  No one thinks people existed between gen x and millennials but we did indeed exist


I think the setting and the timeline also have an effect on the appeal much like Rick and morty. Older people are able to form conspiracies, almost like they were planted for us


Absolutey crazy that when emp was talking about how much of a cultural phenomenon spongebob is I heard my sister watching it in the other room


We had a DVD with a bunch of SpongeBob episodes, ans the last one was the bubble bowl. I used to rewind it just to watch that part over and over and over again.

Looking back i genuinely forget sometimes that Bubble Bowl is only a normal episode. It feels so large and so definitive that in my mind its like a Movie.


Growing up watching Spongebob.. I believe it thought me how to be based enough to not care what people irrelevant to me think and enjoy what makes me happy as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I'm happy how I turned out and Spongebob will always be something I'd carry close to my heart until the end of my time.


I shed a literal tear watching this it really made me think about my life wow.

YOU WILL GROW TO CRAVE THE SWEET RELEASE OF DEATH


Alternative title: There will never ever be another character like Squidward.


The conclusion of the video remembers me the song "What's My age again?" From Blink-182 and i think they have the same message, it doesn't matter if you are an adult, you still can have some fun doing some childish thing


I'm not completely done with the video, but to further add to this, I just asked my 8 year old sister who her favorite character was and it was spongebob. I asked who she didn't like and she said squidward because he's rude to everyone. I think it goes to show that spongebob has an audience for both ages, the younger ones watch for spongebob, but I watch for squidward. Deep down inside we all can empashize with squidward, a character that is over zeleous of his antithesis counterpart, squilliam. A person who has it all, the fame, talent, and an overweening personality. We are squidward, and it goes to show how the show can can an make a character that possess these qualities without making them distasteful to us. It goes to show that with time, our resentment of the world gets to the best of us sometimes.


idk how but as a kid I thought it was kind of an interesting point when Squidward and everyone at the Krusty Krab were revealed to have literally followed Spongebob to his grandma's house to laugh at him.


I came in expecting to hear you talk about the show and its quality and its relatability, which I was planning to stay for anyways.

Then I found myself staying because it made me question my perspective on life itself.


I wholly agree. I can't get that same fuzzy feeling from the song without the scene.


I love this show so much, both spongebob and emplemon


you know you've gone too deep into the spongebob lore theories when you hear "who's the most important spongebob character?" and say "gary"


Okay. Well done.  I was once talked into watching an episode of Spongebob in my mid-twenties because my classmate (in college) swore it was the best unappreciated comedy. And I tried to watch an episode and it was the most dogshit  boring brainlessly-juvenile thing ever.  Couldn't do it.  A year later, I tried it again. Same result, just an absolutely boring crap show and I really doubted my classmate's sense of humor.

And now that I finally watched this video, I realize the problem.  Those episodes were clearly from the end of the series, one the baby-juvenile stuff started. Because I sincerely thought Spongebob was supposed to be this annoying 7 year old.

What happens in those episodes? I want to confirm if they are the newer ones?


I try to be Spongebob as much as I can, but some days I just can't help being Squidwards...


Rewatching this makes me more depressed realizing now with clarity and a different view on my past, but I saw myself as a Squidward as a child even.


I grew up in Hawaii and know my marine biology, plus most things nautical as, at least in my universe, sea stuff was more interesting that hot rods, whatever those were. Clipper ships and "marlinspike seamanship" were hot stuff. Plus, again, growing up in Hawaii in the late 60s through the 70s, well, "Tiki" decor was just about invented there. So when I watch this show I'm constantly laughing at the nautical stuff like the signal flags and Spongebob's TV being built, somehow, into an old "hard hat" diving helmet and so on. I just laugh my ass off at Plankton's eye being red (as are many plankton's eyes, er, at least light-sensing cells) and Mrs Puff, the driving/boating teacher being a blowfish. Blowfish and snails and eels and worms and all that, those were my underwater buddy-buddies when I was little. The first time I saw this show I was in land-locked Arizona, and was shown it by a (literally) old friend, we're talking Silent Generation here, and at first I was like, "What the F is this crazy show?" and then I wondered how some silly cartoon show could have so much accurate stuff about sea life and the ocean and even have done "tiki" decor right. Plus the show is just plain funny as hell.


Anybody who watched flapjack or chowder remembers it, because those cartoons were legendary.

The whole 'it's not the comedy that makes spongebob memorable' is just false. Spongebob is popular for unique reasons, but spongebob is memorable because of the great comedy and writing, just like flapjack and chowder are.

We started watching for spongebob<br>But we stayed for Squidward.

But we stayed for Squidward.


Its true,  every time i look up spongebob clips, Its mostly all squidward lol


that ending hit harder than my student loans


This guys ability to arrange the facts is just magnificent.


So, in summary Squidward was the most important character in spongebob, just as Mr. Peanutbutter was the most important character in bojack, and Morty was the most important character in Rick and Morty.... you may be on to something here, starting to connect some dots


Spongebob not only explored unrealistic and funny things, but went through many deep, and creative idealism’s and such<br>(I’m not smart enough for this but I understand them)

Man we used to reference EmpLemon’s SB YTP vids all the time in jazz band back in 2015, had no idea he was out here making great video essays like this


Should I be glad I never became Squidward, or sad that everyone around me did?


- Who do you think is the most important character in Spongebob?
- Spongebob?
- You're probably thinking Spongebob. But no.
- Then it must be Squidward.
- Then it must be Patrick, right? No.
- It's Squidward.
- Maybe it's Mr. Crabs. It is not.
- Squidward.
- Squidward

Hey for the record I'm 22 and I still watch cartoons. No shame


I disagree that the only good episodes are from the first 3 seasons. Most of season 4 is very good too, plus a handful of episodes from 5 and 6


Damn, spongebob is comedic genius.
I really love it

Except, now spongebob


have not finished the video yet. but to the question "is anyone ever too old to make a spongebob joke?", I'm 21, my brother in law is over twice my age, and we were literally yesterday getting ready to move stuff from one house to another, and we both went with the "Are ya ready kids? Aye, captain! I can't heaaar ya!" without even acknowledging it. it's that strong.

As soon as he said "who is the most important person in SpongeBob" I immediately thought Squidward.


Great video man.

Also mainly off topic but the 19-2000 Gorillaz 8-bit remake invoked just as much nostalgia as spongebob does, maybe more


Props for the use of the Donkey Kong underwater theme!


I can't wait for the sequel to this edition of Never Ever soon: "There Will Never Ever be Another Spin Off Like "The Patrick Star Show" "


They somewhat tried to replicate it with chowder and ok ko, but they both did better when going for their own thing instead of copying spongebob


fantastic video the ending really got me to think and j appreciate it


I never watched Spongebob, but the video is still really enyojable


This is what im talking about SpongeBob is a lovely show with happy and mid adult humor. But in reality that show is so relatable to now. Remember the Krusty Krab training video when the dude said "No one wants to be a Squidward" well that's the case irl. Squidward = how life is now. Working dead end jobs, barely making money, wanting to be dead because nobody ever cares or likes thier goals and how they try to achieve them. While everyone wants to be SpongeBob but better. You see SpongeBob = right now but what everyone wants like EmpLemon said. SpongeBob doesn't care all he cares about being his joyest self. And that's what we want but better. We want good jobs, making good money, living the life and even if we cant get that SpongeBob reminds us that sometimes even in the worst possible things like how he lives a smile can go so far. So basically Spongebob is the most relatable show to life there is and all you need to do is watch


Abuse victim here. I’ve been Squidward my whole life and I still love Bongesquab


Great video, so glad i found this channel


Why does 8-bit 19-2000 fit so well with Spongebob?

Also nice song choice


honestly the best youtube video i've ever watched. no cap


For 19 years, I never seized to act like the  bean Canned brain known as Patrick.


24:07 Yep, this has happened to me. Many times. 😢


They should make a Spongebob movie with Him and Squidwerd in adventure 😂

I recently rewatched season 1-3 my all time favorites


I haven’t even seen a sponge bob episode, yet I know most of the main characters, their personalities, and homes. Just from memes and clips

Not gunna lie. I came on this video thinking I would hate it, but this was a fantastically made video. Bravo. 👏


Amazing video EmpLemon.
I'll follow it.
i forgot what i was gonna say after that lol

The kinda Really Negative Person in the comments


Can't believe SpongeBob and I are literally the same age.


Take a shot every time this guy says "SpongeBob"

You won't survive the night.


And this is why I'll never grow up completely.  Screw society, I'll watch cartoons if I want!


you're right, we should all boycot adulthood


This is better than any TedTalk video I watched in my lifetime! And I’m fucking 19! Good job emperor!


I don't know which I like more, the use of Pink Floyd or the use of Gorillaz.


The Kirby Air Ride soundtrack from the Nintendo GameCube blasting in the background, nice😎


I just realised at around 14:50 u put on music from gran turismo 4 that's epic I love that game


Feels cool to know that dude went to the same college as me


Lucky for you Imaginations can do wonders


good vid, shows not about millenials tho. every generation was a generation of squidwards. it's a universal thing


I feel like older generations actually do become adults to never be children again, maybe that's why my uncles, paretns, etc. can't seem to be able to enjoy the Simpsons or Spongebob, despite the fact that both shows are objectively good, it must be because all they can see is "stupid cartoons" and those are for children, and they are old now. Unlike Millennials, us never actually become full adults, I think, that's why we still enjoy cartoons even though we're old, such as Steven Universe or Adventure Time.


SpongeBob is love, SpongeBob is life, SPONGEBOB IS SPONGEBOB!


Дамјан Стојаноски


yea nah, he just made the video just so he can watch some spongebob.


We deserve a follow up episode of bandgeeks.


Speaking of childhood, are we just gonna ignore the Gran Turismo 4 BGMs in this video?


my mom was in the creator of sponge bobs biology class in highschool lol


Honestly, the new spongebob isnt bad, in fact it is good. That being said, its not like old spongebob, old spongebob was great. The new spongebob is only good. And thats y spongebob "died"


"The wolrd is not getting worse, your outlook is"

Climate change, deforestation, ocean acidification: 😉

But on a more serious note, loved the video, made me cry. Though motivation doesn't really do much for me, I'll still take death, thanks :D

“The WOLRD is not getting worse, your outlook is” It’s World, not Wolrd.


the alarm in the background a third through the video terrified me because it reminded me of how schools starting in like a week


I love the gorrilaz songs in the background!💕👏


Lets play a drinking game. Every time you hear the word SpongeBob you take a shot. Good luck sleeping out your coma. XD


Ok so the thing with mickey is. Germany, Austria and Switzerland gets a monthly comic called LTB were mickey and donald duck have comic adventures and also there is mickey mouse clubhouse a show that (to my knowledge) is still going strong to this day.


some count how many times he said SpongeBob

Wow, this is one of the best analysis videos I've ever seen, period. The commentary, editing, incorporation of music from the series- all of it. I'm actually kinda speechless. Lol

Anywho, great job! 👍


This is honesty one of the best YouTube videos I've ever watched. Rest in peace Stephen Hillenburg. There needs to be more stuff like this but the YouTube Overlord Algorithm disagrees as this criticizes today's corporate ideals.

Is agree this is one of the best YouTube videos ever created


<b>Spongebob is real in my heart. No matter how old I get or how long it goes on. I'll forever love it, for being there when I needed it the most.</b>

*Spongebob is real in my heart. No matter how old I get or how long it goes on. I'll forever love it, for being there when I needed it the most.*

A-Ryan yea right? Reading this actually made me emotional 😂 :,)


Wow, you're becoming the next Mr. Rogers.

But seriously, this is so deep. I always knew that classic Spongebob was better because it treated the viewers like adults, but I never got that by watching a scene of Squidward walking by Spongebob. Did the downward spiral make you smarter or something? Because I've never seen a video with so much care and intellect put into it.

I guess when you've been spiraling long enough, you start to really put things in perspective


Squidward said “we do this for 40 years, then we die” and I immediately got an ad

@Elektr0 Gaming I can see why that makes sense because ads aren't loading, but for some reason the ad blocker extension I got for google (it had the most reviews) made things really slow. idk if it was a bug but every time id be waiting for the google homepage to load, or some other website, and in the corner id just see "waiting for adblock". That experience left a bad taste in my mouth so I only use it for Crunchyroll now.

@CreagDog2 I guess so. I just sorta feel like id be cheating the creator. I use to use adblockers and honestly I still use them on certain websites (Crunchyroll cuz they put like 20 ads in a 20 minute video) and the only reason I stopped using it on YouTube is cuz it slowed loading times on websites by so much; so I guess I'm not one to talk. You've made good points and it was nice having this discussion.

@Elektr0 Gaming I'm legitimately surprised toys r us is still in business. Do kids still play with toys? Am I not that old yet? Lol

Edit: sorry to detract from your point because it's a good one. Ads are directly inhibiting creativity thru censorship and that's not right.

So with you understanding how little Youtubers get from ads, I gotta ask: why support a very and i mean <b>VERY</b> flawed system? It doesn't get better; it gets worse. You have to change the way you do things. You have to change the way you acquire your income, even if it's still through making YouTube content. YouTube is a great platform to spread information, but it keeps growing increasingly harder and harder to make a living from it because more and more ppl are trying to do just that. I even understand that Viacom likely plays a role in keeping YouTube in the condition it's in because surely YouTube gets money for allowing the ads in the first place, but now that YouTube is a very large corporation owned by Google, it's dependency on that crutch is lessened substantially. At this point, it's all just for profit. Time is money; and I won't let ads waste it. Typing this comment is more productive than 90% of ads I've seen in my life.

I guess so but I didn't make that point specifically towards EmpLemon

and @CreagDog2 Good point. (about patreon)

that's actually my point. Youtubers barely make any money from ad revenue, despite giving so much effort, so its the least we can do.<br>Although I'm not completely sure about YouTube ads but I know that on most sites you only get the money if someone visits the ad, so I guess it kind of makes sense if that's the way YouTube works considering that you would just skip them anyways.

@Lunati q Even something like a sponsored partnership will likely get you much more than ad rev on YouTube

@Lunati q YOU don't understand how internet ads really work. They're basically the equivalent to a waitress making sub-minimum wage because if the video is incredibly popular, the creator will get a lot of tips (ad revenue). You need to create a direct source for ppl to support you if you ever wanna be a content creator. Just ad revenue usually doesn't cut it if you're not huge.

@Mark wait a second there chief, EmpLemon said YouTube wasn't his job in an earlier video so your entire point of giving him money through corporate ads is invalid.

People put time into their videos. It takes hours. What they do is a lifetime job that you clearly don't respect. Do you have a job? Have you ever had bills to pay? If you did then you would understand but it seems like you don't know what its like to have responsibilities in life.

Same here, it was some pretty good timing

@radanju3 yes but without ads the creators can't make money which is kinda unfair considering they don't make much anyways.

@Mark a big portion of it goes to Viacom that's what he meant.

@nintendoluigi he isn't a company. He is a singular youtube content creator trying to get money doing what he loves.


Damn watching this video made me sad idk y


Season 11 feels a lot like season 4, so we’re getting to this point again. The show is really getting better because they changed spongebob’s personality again to be like what you said. THE SHOW’S GOOD AGAIN!

spongebobs personalit was like a nieve child but he still had the good characteristics of being adult, in 5-8 hes just like a granny


I was yelling "Squidward" to the screen when you were naming all the contestants. Squidward was always my favorite character, even as a child, and I could always relate to him. Without him, Spongebob was basically fairly odd parents or any other show. My little cousin and I would watch Spongebob together and he would always claim that he acted like me, which wasn't really a compliment, but wasn't untrue. I like your observation and analysis, this was a really good video.

al4381 Spongebob and Squidward are my fav characters of any show out there. XD


I love spongebob squarepants i am biggest fan I have a lot disc :)


RIP Stephen Hillenburg.

Thanks for putting your great ideas into making one of the most popular, successful and longest lasting cartoons of all time. There truly will never be another show like it. You made your mark, and did it out of passion and love.
This kitchen won’t be the same without you....


I watch spongebob everyday with no shame, I been feeling bad for him

"I'm Squidward, you're Squidward, we're all Squidward" makes more sense now


It's almost like the first three seasons had a....secret formula???

The Hunter x Hunter 2011 Dickriding Association


This entire video is straight facts, unbelievably relatable


"...an example of how you should never treat anyone in food service. Their lives are bad enough." ...oh my God it is so true 🤣


I think new shows need their  own stylistic humour like Spongebob. I think that the closest show to having their own stylistic humour is The Amazing World of Gumball , one of the only shows of the 2010s that managed to make me laugh like Spongebob.

Simple Weirdo Search it up

*I dare you*

Zero Manne not necessarily, the creator is leaving, the show will still go on with mic graves though and he’s pretty good

Now that I think about it, Gumball <b>was</b> CN's SpongeBob. Shame that it's ending soon and yet crap like TTG isn't.

Now that I think about it, Gumball *was* CN's SpongeBob. Shame that it's ending soon and yet crap like TTG isn't.

Adventure Time, Regular Show, And Gumball are some of the best shows Cartoon Network ever put out. Nowadays they might as well call it Teen Titans Go! Network.

Gumball also gave us one of the best MILFs since Vanilla the Rabbit.

When 'there' in the title isn't given a capital letter, but Spongebob does.


As a child I was Spongebob but somehow instead of turning into Squidward I became Patrick

It seems like my dad is a tool like Patrick, grumpy like Squidward, and narcissistic like Mr. Krabs

What people don't get or oversee is, it is Spongebob who steals Squidward's show. It is him who always ends up lucky and gets all the appreciation. It is him (and Patrick) why Squidward always gets disturbed and angry. That's the reason why Squidward can't drink his tea in peace and tries to find out more sinister ways to get rid of him in order to enjoy life. That's the sad story but true.

Btw, I am nowadays a mixture of Spongebob, Squidward and Patrick. Those three characters represent the holy trinity.

I became a Gary. For the most part unenthusiastic and meh. Then I revert to a sspongebob once in a while

E- -173 Isn’t Patrick just spongebob but dumber?

I'm still Spongebob, I never turned into Squidward OR Patrick

so  that's why you cluster charge hostages

Bullrex no bro, remember, our minds are an enigma(milk carton falling)

this is too relatable, did I age backwards ? did my IQ drop ? TELL ME WHAT"S WRONG WITH ME


BEST SHOW EVER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


This analyses is so true. My dad loved spongebob and squidward was his favorite character. He also said that I would love this show even more when I get older.


This is one of the best videos Youtube has ever reccomended to me.

not really, i got reccomended bug fight one time


Video ideas:

How will Rick and Morty be remembered? Will the show outlive it's Fandom?

What happened to Pepe the Frog? Did mainstream kill one of the most divisive memes? Was Pepe the Frog ever actually popular in the first place?

When did ironic memes die? Have we escaped the irony pit of memes? Are we in a new era?

When you think about it....
Rick and morty is the anti soongbob in what it does.
That  goes for the fandom too being one of the prime opposites of spongebob fandom.

I love to see a video like that.

Hasn’t Pepe become more of 4chan’s embodiment of spirit?

What happened to Pepe the frog?
In summary, it ran its course, stopped being funny but was posted anyways because who cares, became mainstream which bloated its relevance even further, then Clinton gave her whole shpiel about memes which sent it on a long-overdue deathmarch with /pol/ and summers clinging onto it like a swamp gator to this very day because they literally can't be fucked to use something new.

RIP to the creator of the greatest cartoon of the 00s

Adil Rashid greatest cartoon to ever be on tv there will never be a cartoon better than spongebob

The greatest cartoon in television history.


Your argument about Squidward as the representation of millenials/us as adults also explains why Band Geeks is one of the most popular episodes, because it's Squidward's moment of happiness and accomplishment, and his acting like Spongebob himself. (DAMMIT, YOU GO OVER THIS IN THE VIDEO. FRAK.)


Thank you, EmpLemon. You taught me that SpongeBob was so much more than a cartoon, especially with SpongeBob and Squidward's  relatinoship and showed me that it's never to late to be a kid.

I am truly a kid at heart.


Actually, I wouldn't say Spongebob's humor is random. In fact, its humor works because it subverts the expectations of the audience in ways that are justifiable instead of random.

For instance, the final scene of the episode "Dying for Pie" is just as over the top as it is an elaborate subversion of expectations. A pie to the face is cliche in comedy, and that scene marks the rest of the episode as build up to it. As if to drive the point home, Spongebob just short of blatantly contradicts himself by explaining that he saved (in his pocket, no less) the pie he earlier clearly implied he ate by calling it delicious followed by licking each finger. The dated sound effect to which he trips and the deliberate slow motion seemingly mean to tease the audience for having not anticipated one of the oldest comedy tropes. In what seems like an attempt to make the punchline measure up to the build up, they cross it with another slapstick cliche - explosions. Squidward, the buttmonkey of the series, gets hit in the face with an exploding pie.

...okay, look, I know that's a great big fucking mess of a paragraph and might not even be coherent, but think about it - if Jimmy Neutron or Gumball or something wove away the conflict of an episode like that, viewers would be kind of annoyed, but the writers behind Spongebob didn't just get away with it; they used it to make one of the most memorable episodes in the series.

aceman0000099  Eh, kinda is, but so is watching it in the first place (and everything else, cause, like... nihilism n stuff). Both can be fun, though. So can silly popular culture references. In fact, they tend to work best when they do the very thing I think that Spongebob episode demonstrates best - falling out of line with what was probably expected while still being in line with at least <b>something</b> that's at least somewhat applicable (whether that be comedy tradition or the fact that I could have probably revised that first post to sound a little less pretentious).

You're right about Band Geeks. I've thought about it before. Even though it's not my favorite episode, I think the reason why it's regarded as the best one in the entire series is that after so many frustrations in life and so many L's handed to him, Squidward finally gets his big victory. It's pretty memorable also because of the song and the jokes throughout the episode aren't bad by any means either


one of the lessons thats hidden in Spongebob is that the partial reason for Squidwards mediocrity is his own self deprication, hes stuck in a cycle. hes self loathing and apathetic and it prevents him from going anywhere and thus landing back at square one with a more tempered apathy. spongebob presents a type of grandios self delusion while squidward, though initially appearing to represent reality and the voice of reason, is a type of melancholic self delusion. spongebob is both a comedy and A Comedy, it makes us laugh and it teaches us how we might survive.

A its not meant to be consumed with legitimacy. i was exaggerating my opinion for comedic effect but i mean if i have to explain that its just a bad joke without enough context. again, im not seriously watching spongebob as a lesson.

im asking if you wanna discuss or not. there has to be a reason for commenting right? im curious as to what you dislike because theres honestly alot of room for criticism, it isnt an indepth or well thought analysis. its more or less an opinion with vague conclusions but then again what much can you draw from a tv cartoon.

A isnt a comment for dislogue and a dislike for dislike?

A ugh dont be so dramatic, its just a TV show, i dont force you to watch it the way i do and no one is legitimately using Spongebob as a life coach.


Oh, me being miserable has nothing to do with me trying to act like a grown up, fuck that shit
It has literally nothing to do with what my peers expect of me, I couldn't care about that at all
The reason I'm a squidward is because at the end of the day I still gotta pay rent if I don't wanna be homeless. That's what keeps my cynical and jaded

@ThunderSky I am wheezing rn i why is this so funny-

Well, you could pay bills and try to do something productive in the while, like taking care of plants! :D


“We don’t know what we like”

That is so real.


I've never appreciated Spongebob more than I ever have right now


the end of this video literally bought tears to my eyes. i cant believe an analysis of spongebob helped me realised that the way ive been told to act is full of shit


There will never be a channel like Emplemon

OH ITS THE YELLOWIST. GAMER ALER GAMER ALERT

@Jordy in that case there are hundreds of channels like that haha

aceman0000099 that’s true. I thought of it as more that they both work on their videos a shit ton and do a lot of research, but you are correct.

idubbbz is not at all like Emplemon. they share the same sense of obscure distorted humour but the editing, content and format and audience are all different.

true, a millennial person with a deep mindset that borders apsergers syndrome levels of intelligence.

I know they do different types of videos and are not really related, but iDubbbz tends to do a lot of work on his series Content Cop.


This was some of the best long video editing I have seen in a long time. It makes me want to watch this show again, too!


What makes Spongebob happy when Squidward is not, despite their same circumstances?
Spongebob has Patrick as his best friend, while Squidward is alone and picky to befriend his own kind to say the least.
Only when Squidward has a selfless interaction with Spongebob or other characters does he find true happiness inside.

Patrick could be Squidwards friend as well but he had no interest in having a Spongeboblike friend

Some Guy Paragon best comment I’ve read in a while


I can't believe I missed this video. No idea how it slipped through the cracks after all these years but goddammit this is a fantastic video, and series in general. I love the way it gets me thinking about my life and just gets me thinking in a much deeper way in general. Thank you for making this series, and please - keep it up.

Honestly one of the best, if not THE best video I've watched on this platform. Really takes me back..


I was thinking it was the candy bar man was the best person or fish was good


Marine biologist makes cartoon:
Sponge [X]
Crab [X]
Squid [X]
Squirrel [ ? ]
Whale [X]

This is gonna sound weird, but Squidward is actually an octopus.

@chefhitt there is a thing called brine water that sinks under regular water

@Der Rammsteiner Junge But to be fair... the Lagoon shouldn't work, neither should books, alien encounters, fire, etc. But they exist!

@Rephical everyone does bro not only you, believe me....

Der Rammsteiner Junge you typed a whole paragraph about a pencil in the water. I envy you...

@NEEK BEATS [My mind blew out for thinking about the possibilities of why it shouldn't work under the sea]
I got it, pencil can't write anything under the sea, try it by yourself putting a paper into a tank (that thing where fish live inside) and try the write something on the paper and see what happens, nothing! So there may not be any way for the pencil to do something under the sea
Edit: I am tired of writing with this cellphone if its keyboard replaces words and remove the words I want to write...

@NEEK BEATS a bull worm can dwell under the sea if you did not know that fact.


I never usually comment on videos beacause i'm either too lazy or too scared to let out my opinions. But this video, man this video is really something. EmpLemon you really outdid yourself because this is the most heartwarming and tear jerking video i have ever seen. i love it i love it i love it.

To be honest, I comment and I usually get criticized anyways so why bother being worried?

Spongebob... why is Spongebob so good at everything?


The end of this video literally made me cry lol, best thing on YouTube by far.

Mykuh time to shed another couple of tears, cause there will never ever be another video on YouTube like this

this is my 4th time watching and I've cried every time

Hello World No one can remember when they turned into a squidward, don’t feel too bad about it

"It's not about winning, it's about fun"<br>So much of the world's been made to seem like an unfriendly and brutal competition. I wonder when I forgot about this idea.

"It's not about winning, it's about fun"

The way you said the line "No one wants to be a Squidward" made it sound so much more meaningful.

@SuperColom Remember, no employee wants to be a squidward.

I love how he used the clip from the Krusty Krab training video where the narrator says that same line


6:45 .........okay.........
(Pause as you click on the timestamp.)


nice gran Turismo 4 music in the background 👍


spongebob didn't just die, <b>it was murdered</b>

spongebob didn't just die, *it was murdered*

Nooooooooo, why would you bring him up here


At 11:30 is that gran turismo music?

Edit: check the description and yup was surprised to see it


SpongeBob prime 1999-2004<br>(Season 1-3)


You think things like Jimmy neutron last a short time? You should check out Tugs, it lasted barely 2 months


Squidward basically serves as a character foil. A character foil is basically the mirror reflection of the protagonist that is similar in subtle ways, but has far more transparent differences.


Mf it took me 20 minutes to find spongebob on my twitter feed wdym


I never wanted to grow up, and never did, trust me, this is worse.


I’m turning 14 and I don’t want to grow up. I hope i never grow up


I found this video thinking there would be some lore or story to tell, instead I got a moral that really justified what I was doing my entire life.
Not only did it say how it's not bad to be boring and act childish with some things, but it also showed that you can be mature and still do it!

I have had so many people tell me to grow up or "stop watching cartoons" or even just stop being creative and be useful.
But I realised that most people in the world were just boring and well-I wanted to be happy and fun. So I did that.
And you know the funny thing is, suddenly everyone wanted to be my friend, I never felt insecure and they all wanted the cofidence I had.

I never knew I was following the morals of spongebob. Thank you.


Oh, dang.
I just realized that this was made by EmpLemon.
I think I saw another one of your videos lately.
Hmmm...
But yeah, I talk about SpongeBob all the time on my channel.
I LOVE SpongeBob.
That's my favorite cartoon because it reminds me of when my daughter was just a little baby and she loved it.
I didn't know why...
So I finally sat down and watched it with her.
And man...
I fell in love with the world of SpongeBob.
All the characters.
All the emotional Rollercoasters the show took me on.
Wow.
Such an amazing show.
I knew something was wrong with those later episodes.
And after watching your video, I know why.
Thank you so much for this wonderful trip down memory lane.
I'll be sure to remember your name.
Peace be with you and your loved ones.

i read this comment and it made me cry for some reason, probably nostalgia, but who knows. hope you are doing well


Can’t believe I’m just now coming across this. Definitely didn’t expect to cry watching a video on my favorite childhood show. (if my profile pic didn’t make it obvious 😂) Gave me a lot to think about during a time I really needed it, thank you. Fantastic video.


Just remember, being a Spongebob involves sticking your hand into the fire with childlike wonder over and over because learning not to do it jades your imagination


this video hits way too hard now. i used to watch emplemon when i was a kid for the legendary laughs i got from the ytps. now as a young adult, watching this video from the very channel i grew up laughing my ass off makes me remember to enjoy the little things in life. thank you, emplemon for pointing these things out. you are a damn legend.


EmpLemon: who is the most important character in spongebo?
Everyone: squidward
Emplemon: maybe you think its patrick
Evryone:squidward
Emplemon: or maybe you think its mr krabs
Everyone: squidward
Emplemon: its actually squidward
Everyone: EXCUSE ME?!?!


the things that this guy is saying on this video have a really deep meaning, this is the main philosophy which every person on earth should learn to adopt


I honestly enjoy this excellent review, and the explanation of the Spongebob/Squidward dynamic is the best. I always view the duo as two sides of the same coin since they both live in a world that could care less about them. At this point, the entire system is incredibly designed to encourage us to become increasingly inhumane and spend our lives on transient dopamine apps and double standard regulations that did nothing more than dampen us of our fragile existence.


"It's not about winning, it's about fun" is such a good quote and I love it


This is still the best video on the platform almost 3 years later

this video aged like fine wine during the pandemic lmao


This really spoke to me and I really felt it. Absolutely spot on, you said everything that had to be said. Mad respect 🙌 👏


It is true. <br>Spongebob Squarepants is absolutely AMAZING.

It is true.
Spongebob Squarepants is absolutely AMAZING.


I always like squidward I felt sorry for him but now I see me in him so hes my favorite character in the past and present


Terrific. What a mind alternating video that shows you what it’s like to grow older and why it’s okay to be a kid sometimes. Growing up I always thought that meant I couldnt be myself like when I was a kid and why I can’t act like one now only that it isn’t an act and it’s truly me. With that part aside, great job on the video keep up the good work


I knew it was Squidward.<br>You nailed it right on the head.

I knew it was Squidward.
You nailed it right on the head.


I'm guessing the most important character in SpongeBob is Squidward, before having seen what the answer is. The reason being that the dynamic between him and the other characters is what balances out the show. The Satanic black metal band Gorgoroth wrote "the man who sits in the dark, gives light to the world" implying that the Dark Lord himself is what allows beauty to shine and gives us free will. I'm thinking of a similar concept here with Squidward. The show is fun, energetic, and positive, but Squidward is the very opposite. He's no Satan, but he definitely expresses the polar opposite of the energy of the SpongeBob show.


This video alone will go down as a classic in YouTube and SpongeBob history!


I was born in 99 in the last months of it I’m 21 nearly 22 and even now modern spongebob is STILL entertaining and interesting it had some incredible low quality years but the variety of it is amazing


I like this video very much. You've answered everyone's questions as to why Spongebob is so successful.


When he asked ''Who is the most important character in Spongebob Squarepants?'' i instinctively knew it was Squidward. <br>I always believed that Spongebob wouldn't be the same without Squidward but i couldn't say why. This video explained it perfectly. Because yes, Spongebob is nice but is a character you want to be, it's ideal. It's really rare for someone to stay like Spongebob in the society we all live in. But Squidward is a character someone can REALLY relate. He is the most realistic and humane character. That's why i loved him even as a child and still love him as an adult. And thank you for making me realize why love him so much. And i realize i love him more when he is childish too, with Spongebob's help who makes Squidward learns a lesson to not be so boring adult. And when someone sees a character he/she can relate becomes from a monotonous, miserable adult to a passionate, happy childish adult, even for a little time in a episode it's great and gives hope.

Even just the opening of the show itself is epic


I was a little too old for spongebob being of the edd ed'n eddy/cow&chicken/invader zim generation but I never disliked the show I just never got a chance to watch it like my siblings did, then one day I joined them and watched band geeks and despite not knowing the lore immediately knew the score and when the sweet victory song came on it blew my mind. We went crazy in the living room, good times.


This has been one of my favourite videos on YouTube ever since it was uploaded.


The only gripe I have with this video is the long drawn out reveal that Squidward is the most important character to the show not named SpongeBob. The whole time I was groaning Squidwaaarrrdddd.


Does anyone else feel a really depressing tone in most of the SpongeBob episodes made after the new producer/team took over?


remember how all it took for squidward to start legitimately believing in the box was a sound? maybe we all need sumn like that


Appreciate the little things. Sometimes, the little things can bring the greatest of joy.


Although spongebob got worse after season 3, I really do think it got better after season 9, squidward felt more like spongebobs friend than ever, which was a very interesting  take on squidward.


I never knew how much spongebob has influenced me when I realise most of my jokes are from spongebob


you grasp the concept of reality and that imagination doesn't exist like it used to


Nothing really wrong about this video, but it's just not how I see Spongebob. I just think the show is rather clever.


9:08 Hold on my good sir, Ren & Stimpy created that style. Even the specific example you showed, with the matte painting-esque close-ups, was pioneered by Kricfalusi. Not disagreeing with your whole video; just saying that part wasn't accurate.

Yeah and some of the Ren and Stimpy animators actually worked on Spongebob.


I always appreciated the music in these videos, it's a great collection of nostalgic tunes for many of us but I'll be damned if I saw etrain odyssey tracks coming.


I agree with the end quote if you like something that makes you happy and doesn’t hurt anyone then enjoy it why should you care what others think of something you like?


Spongebob is just so... satisfying so relaxing it completly makes u forget all of your problems to sit and watch over and over again the same episodes and stil laught like it was the first , i'm 17 and till this day i enjoy quout and laught at spongebob almost every day


This is pure gold, I don't even know how I got here but honestly I wish I've seen this before


"there will Never Ever be another cartoon like Spongebob Squarepants." is a opinion not something true (I've also watched spongebob as a child and I still love it)


i love how 1:30 - 2:16 did not need to exist, and no one would have asked for it, but he felt the need to do all that research just for us to understand something better.


Oh my god just let me watch this show forever


“The world isn’t worse your out look is” whooooooo boy if only he knew. If only he knew


Stephen Hillenburg is a real legend. Gone but always remembered. ❤🙏


This was Spongebob oversimplified<br>I never knew as a kid that spongebob would actually make sence in the future I was having fun watching it :)

Boi you make me feel like I'm myself. Majority of the people around told me to be boring and do something they want me to do. This isn't because I'm immature, it's because adults think this should be my interest because that thing immature in their. Honestly it's just true, real growth is understanding yourself and others and many more. Not about bieng like other people.


They banned Mid life krab. I personally don’t think it’s too mature for kids.

I’m pretty sure they banned it because of the panty raid scene


I think this just cured this sudden depression I've had for the past year


i’m not sure but this might also start to be applying to even younger people than adults, once i started being more jaded and cynical and boring around the age of 13 or 14 i had adults talk about me saying that i was acting a lot more like an adult, not sure if that’s just me or if that’s my a lot more of my generation, if it’s not just me and it’s a lot more of my generation then that is depressing as fuck


Dude, i’m using this for my essay, thanks


I forgot this channel was a YTP channel that’s why I recognize the username!!!!! I love the new content it’s so great


that ''nuclear testing at bikini atoll'' just reminds me that there will never be a country with so many bad things happening ever again which in a way is good but its bad that all those things happened, the things are so bad that the country won't exist geographically in a few years due to erosion

I feel lile I'm the only spongbob fan that actually likes the later seasons, bot saying they're better but I still like to watch them


or maybe JUST MAYBE it’s just a good show?


Squid bowl actually was my favorite episode lol


The whole series of spongebob is just a bunch a memes mashed together


I hated this cartoon movie when it first time was aired in Indonesia more than a decade ago. But lately I just loved it... It was just so different to other cartoon movie. And I STILL LOVE IT


Spongebob in randomland kinda brought me back to pizza delivery


Bruh I’m 16 and my 30 year old cousin and I send spongebob memes back and forth to each other occasionally


I appreciate the Gran Turismo background music, in theme with the Spongebob timeframe - nice touch


You either die a Spongebob or live long enough to see yourself become a Squidward


id like to posit that the change to make spongebob act more childlike is why shows like chowder and flapjack werent nearly as successful, despite having the same level of good themes and talented casting. flapjack and chowder are children from the very beginning, and the people around them have to deal with them like an adult deals with a child (because it's a kids show). spongebob resonated with older kids and adults because he is an adult with responsibilities, but he chooses to act like a kid. sometimes people around him deal with him like a kid, and sometimes, they dont have to. it opened the show up to more possibilities than 'simple misunderstanding caused by emotional immaturity', which is... pretty much all flapjack and chowder were. i love all three shows but spongebob definitely gets more screentime in my house.

Lets be honest here, you came here in an EmpLemon downward spiral from watching 'There will never ever be another melee player like Hungrybox'


Take a drink every time he says ‘spongebob’


dude the 8 bit 19-200 song throughout the video is phenomenal


And 9:55 was when after every sentence, I started screaming Squidward's name to the point where my voice sounded like the jumpscare noise from FNaF Pizzeria Simulator.
Edit: And I jokingly pronounced it as "Skwiderd".


"Half of you may have grown up from Spongebob to Squidward. But the other half will always remain as Patrick." -[INSERT FAOMUS PERSON HERE]


I wish youtubers would learn that nobody wants random loud noises blaring in their ears


i think another thing about it is that growing up all we really had was TV and the internet was growing but wasn’t as popular as it is today so spongebob was IT


Why no one is talking about the capitalist pigs like our comrade squidward 10:50


when I'm Squidwarq , I feel happy, but when I'm like a spongebob, I feel like  the whole world is crooked and broken, but for what he said about the relationship between an adult and a child, it really good , aaaa, and I almost forget to say that the only thing i remember as good is  season 1-3 were bearable everything then is more than disgusting  and in my opinion and mind makes the whole show 💩and make me go like 🚮


i remember in 4th grade i made a spongebob reference and some kid in my class was like 'you still watch spongebob? that shows for babies' and i looked at him and said 'dude were both nine year olds'


Everytime they show the jpg of spongbob, it feels like I'm just waiting for the "✋...Hi!"


11:57 My dog waiting for me to walk through the door just to bark at me


Nice donkey Kong sax track! I was like "wait... What? Yeah it is that!"


As a kid we all hated squidward, than one day we woke up and bam , we realize we have become squidward


How you gonna end the video with Hey Arnold music.......... man the feels.


My dad watches SpongeBob and regular show. He's almost 60


I think Spongebob is only there to keep Nickelodeon on life support.

Facts the only shows they have holding the company is sponge bob and the loud house and all those useless reboots


I don’t wanna grow up man. I wanna go back to BO2 all night with my friends and Playing outside, and being ignorant of the faults in the world and only seeing good. Now everything is girls, money, and cycles.


Man’s using that MarioKart menu music in the background 😂


I remember when visiting McDonald's was a joy


the world couldnt get any worse 2020 smiles with evil intention


i dont think even twitter can change everyones opinion on spongebob

and thats saying something


Great essay, earned me a sub. For the record, I don't have ED.


you will be eating your words in the future when you see this show im working on it's called spongebob 2 electric boogaloo


im loving the 19-2000 gorillaz background music


im sorry, but if i watch this show almost everyday how am i not supposed to become squidward?


A guy who likes Gorillaz and SpongeBobs, where have you been all my life. lol


Didn't realize spongebob was almost as old as me


only avatar comes close in quality but its not even in the same dimension when it comes to how iconic it is


Me before this video: ☹

Me after the video: 😢😭😐🙂


13:43 way to read my life like a book pal..


Holy shit so they are the batman and joker! What a trip hahaha


at least the show is having a sibling named the patrick star show


Before I get to the 11 minute mark I’ll say why I think it has stayed so popular, every character was important. Every character was so unique that and realistic with their quirks we could all relate in some way. As children, we were spongebob. Just a kid in a world of adults. Patrick was the goody friend or family meme we we all had who as an adult is a loser, but as a kid they are a role model of sorts. Mr Krabs was the boss we hated at a job we had at one point. But I think most of us still care now because of Squidward. As kids, we saw him as mean and selfish. As adults, we truly understand why squidward is the way he is. Because we are squidward. A soulful and passionate person who’s been suppressed and depressed by his surroundings. Just my thoughts. Back to the video.

Ed Edd n Eddy was not really canceled. Danny Antonucci lost enthusiasm in the series and he wanted it to end on the 4th season and CN ordered two more seasons anyway which resulted in the sixth season being canceled to instead do the movie. If he wanted to, he could've just kept cranking it out.

Congratulations, you have evolved to a cartoon review channel

you either live long enough to make stuff yourself, or you live long enough to criticize stuff other people make. ecksddeeps. (sarcasmic intervention upon thineself).


Growing up is nothing more than going from hating squidward to becoming squidward.
