The Darkest SpongeBob Lost Media, Found [Behind Closed Doors]
Ойын-сауық
In the early 2000s, official SpongeBob storyboard artists contributed to a secret book that contains some of the most off-model drawings to ever exist for the series. It was lost for over 20 years with very few people having known about its existence, until today.

Disney generally doesn't give a shit what the artists make in their spare time as long as it doesn't get out into the public. The whole deal with Disney having a "vault" of this stuff is that they have an iron-fist arrangement where anything you create while you work at Disney belongs to them, so they "confiscate" any racy stuff to keep it from leaking. How this translates to "OMG check their hard drive!!11!" I don't know, unless they were drawing this sort of thing with characters who are kids themselves (which Mickey isn't)

I wouldn't scapegoat cartoons for real life vile acts, but definitely I could see these drawings be a comment on allegations going around in the office space and that's a different situation.
As someone who’s studying animation it can get really frustrating. Upon making some of my final pieces I would often just grab a scrap piece of paper and draw the characters vomiting bc I felt so sick from staring at screens and blank white paper all day. I would get so tired I would half heartedly doodle characters clawing their eyes out. If my hand hurt really bad I would just draw the characters with big naked butts because I thought it was funny and helped me lighten up a little. It was weird, but a small dumb thing to get the frustration out. I don’t think the offensive things are the best but slapping male genitals or having them do stupid dumb sexual favors for each other with stupid eyes is so accurate to my experience of just getting your frustrations out as an artist.

This is actually fairly common for various kids cartoons. Maybe not specifically a “Behind Closed Doors” book compilation of this crude artwork, but just this type of media being drawn by the official crew all the same. They seem to be more popular through the practice of a “storyboard jam”, a game where a storyboard is started, passed around and is added to by different members of the production crew of a cartoon, often resulting in rather lewd or offensive depictions. Production crews are said to have often used storyboard jams to relieve anger and tension while working on a project. Various examples of these jams that are available on the internet is the infamous Rugrats Storyboard Jam as well as the Phineas and Ferb Storyboard Jam (though this one is a lot more tame in comparison to the others).

Stephen Hillenburg seemed to be an introverted, non-confrontational guy, and Hartmann is a pretty bombastic serial capitalist so I can see why Hillenburg could have disliked him. There's also some animosity in Fairly Odd Parents directed at Hillenburg it seemed. The King of Atlantis says his people eat "sea stars, starfish, and an occasional underwater squirrel" in one episode.

I can't speak much to Nickelodeon's work culture at the time, but if you know anything about the animation world - especially up to the era that Behind Closed Doors was made - the fact that this exists shouldn't surprise you at all. Animators used to do stuff like this all the time to blow off steam, and I guarantee the rumors you've heard about other Nicktoons shows having similar in-joke zines are very likely true - remember the infamous "Incredible Storyboard Jam" from Rugrats? Punishing environment or not, making shows aimed at kids all day can be mind-numbing work, and these kinds of things were/are an act of rebellion against the content itself inasmuch as they are against any boss or company. Plus they just like making each other laugh. I have yet to meet a cartoonist or animator that didn't have a hidden blue streak a mile wide. I've had friends in the industry show me things that were as hilarious as they were horrific, and the reason you never hear about them is simple: These people enjoy having jobs. There's an unspoken rule (or used to be, at least) that you never show this stuff to outsiders, for obvious reasons. The animation field used to be a relatively small, insular community, and it was a lot easier to keep secrets back then - or get blacklisted if you screwed up. The internet either didn't exist or wasn't ubiquitous so the temptation to leak things wasn't there, and most of them wouldn't have done so anyway. There's likely tons of stuff just like this hidden away in storage units, attics, and hard drives belonging to animators that's been completely forgotten about, and will never see the light of day.

I'm actually not surprised at all. And also I think this is common for most artist, specially animators. My whole animation class for example, at the start of the year, teachers gave us very cute and pure egg and chicken characters to work on a children aimed short animation. In the end of the year me and all my classmates made 2 minute animations for that egg things and very "interesting" unused storyboard drawings. We all did it for fun "haha look i turned this pure character into a p... star" for example. And i think animators who got their drawings in this book too did it just for giggles.

To say you hit a gold mine is an understatement, it’s an incredible find and something that definitely deserves to be documented (Even if it is a bit out of taste)
On one hand, the fact that this exists is… whoa. On the other hand, I can’t imagine how fun this must’ve been for the crew. I imagine many of them are having a good laugh now that knowledge of it is gonna become widespread
Plankton screaming "I went to college" is the darkest joke in SpongeBob
When you describe the images, I feel like your my dad and I just found a copy of one of your dirty magazines and you are trying to explain what I saw without traumatizing me further.
This is an incredible recap. How fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing this in such a delightful and in depth video for us- this is some really, really fine KZread work!
after getting only 5 pages into the archive, i can declare that this is, without a doubt, the greatest thing ever made
This is genuinely so interesting! It just makes the production of the show feel a lot more human, and gives us an interesting peek behind the production of a children's show

I was surprised too when I found out about storyboard jams, which is what they're called.
This made me remember that on one of the game development discs SpongeBob SquarePants: SuperSponge has three risque sketches. Two are of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy doing "a group activity", and the other is of a grotesque version of SpongeBob. But those sketches don't overshadow how strong this book is.

I’m like 90% sure that the cover image of Krabs “feeling it now” is drawn by C.H. Greenblatt. If anyone doesn’t know, he’s a writer/storyboard artist from the show’s golden age, he wrote on some of the funniest episodes in the show’s history. He’s also the creator of Chowder.

There was an anecdote about how a creator for a Disney Channel cartoon (might have been American Dragon) was shown several pieces of rule 34 art of other Disney stuff they had on file, saying "This is what will happen to your show". I guarantee every single animated show out there has this sort of stuff made by the staff, even going back to the golden age; Which is why I don't dispute the existence of either the Mickey and Minnie thing or the Popeye and Betty Boop one.

This heavily reminds me of the explicit sketches found in a prototype version of SpongeBob SquarePants: SuperSponge. It seems unlikely to me that these are directly linked (I don't believe any of the artists for the game worked on the show, I don't see why the crew would handout Behind Close Doors to the developers, the artstyle is different, and none of the sketches are drawn over official Nickelodeon storyboards). For those curious, the drawings can be viewed on The Cutting Room Floor.

It was a series of storyboards, not an episode, made as part of a stress release exercise called a "storyboard jam" where a person adds a panel or two before passing the sheet onto someone to add to it. Like a group comic. They're never meant to be made into actual episodes, storyboard jams are just for giggles among the animation department. Also the Rugrats one was titled "Incredible," which is fitting, as it's incredible that people could make such a depraved comic without John K. being among the contributors
