There's an article on creepypasta about it. I don't want to look for it ._.

It's fake btw.

There's a lot of weird shit on Spongebob. I am watching this (20 yo currently) and I find it just hilarious, but I wouldn't let my kids watch this show. I don't know why is it even considered a kids show.

I remember the good ol' days of Ren and Stimpy and Invader Zim. Now those shows fucked me up. Spongebob was mild when it came out compared to those shows. 19 year old here, what did you watch as a child that makes Spongebob seem so crude?

[–]margaryna 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Johny Bravo, Powerpuff girls etc. While I still find them extremely fun and great shows, spongebob is kind of other. It's like a cartoon on a drugs for me @edit Even cow and chicken made more sense than spongebob :P

[–]wholemilk 0 points1 point ago

Check out Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, or The Misadventures of Flapjack. Both are top notch.

[–]margaryna 1 point2 points ago

Thanks, I'll give it a try then I guess :)

I couldn't watch ren and stimpy as a child and I still can't. It just makes me sick to my stomach, everything about it is sickening

[–]PFCDoofles 0 points1 point ago

In what way? Sickening is a loaded word.

[–]obliterationn 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the way it's drawn, the occurances in the cartoon, it's repulsive

[–]stephengrey 0 points1 point ago

Caligula, Clockwork Orange, Mondo Cani, Shocking Asia.

I don't consider it a kid's show. It's truly fucked up.

[–]Joki9121 15 points16 points ago

Context:

The Flying Dutchman's ship breaks down and he stays with Spongebob, constantly scaring the host. After awhile of this, Spongebob becomes immune to the scaring the Flying Dutchman does and is used to his antics. This scene is one where the Dutchman is desperately trying to scare Spongebob, who is (as someone mentioned) "meh"-ing it away with yawns.

It's weird, but not as WTF as what you see on other shows, and this was aired some time ago...I didn't think it was anything stranger than what was on the show. Just need to watch the episode.

[–]Benlarge1 13 points14 points ago

Best part? Spongebob just "meh"ing away.

I don't remember screaming while watching Spongebob as a child...

Spongebob as a child...

shit I feel old now. I was already grown when that show began.

[–]VisionStadium 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To be fair, Spongebob started in 1999. Doesn't make you any less old to have been grown in '99, but it could be worse. It's very possible for a lot of people who watched it as kids to be grown now.

Things really didnt bother us as kids did they

I noticed J.R. "Bob" Dobbs (guy with a pipe) was in amongst the transformations.

I really don't remember being relatively scared of this episode back then, but now that I look at it, I think I've found my new source of nightmares.

[–]JonMeadows 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Back then? This is one of the newer episodes of Spongebob. How old are you? My idea of Spongebob "back then" is more along the lines of the episode where Spongebob spends his entire day dusting his yard with a "reef" blower, pushing dust all over Squidwards yard. No words during the entire thing and that episode was 10x better than the crap they call Spongebob today.

The water coolers in the animation studio must be pure LSD.

im just going to assume that you've never even seen spongebob, much less watched Nickelodeon. it's a network riddled with innuendos.

btw when did redditors turn into such pussies?

[–]DoctorG0nzo 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, this scene did nothing to me as a kid. I just laughed at Spongebob's reaction to it.

I was 6 or maybe even 8 when I saw that. Laughed so hard I almost shat myself. Also, please don't try doing the math. Since you guys have SO much time on your hands.

Scratch that very close, but not close enough.
