The theory takes clips like that and uses them to compose a theory that the characters are fully aware of the skins and even accept it and incorporate into their everyday life.

Like Sandy he’s a Type-A, outgoing figure whose physical and social successes Spongebob - always looking for the “normal” way to find acceptance - aspires to match, but unlike Sandy he’s largely oblivious to the fact that this is something which tends to go on in the little yellow guy’s head. I think that handily explains why there are three separate classic episodes whose premises can be summarized as “Larry’s presence at the beach causes Spongebob to psychically bully himself into going way past his comfort zone and causing havoc”.

A bible in this sense is just a book of settings, traits, and other details pertaining to a media franchise! It’s what’s given out to writers, game devs, etc so they know the ‘rules’ of the show/game/whatever they are making and what they are allowed and not allowed to do. For example, the bible for the Sonic franchise that Sega hands out to the studios who develop Sonic games contains stuff like ‘only Tails and Eggman are allowed to create technology’.

Fun Fact: Squeaky Boots, which is seen in the pitch, was one of the first few episodes to be made (the 3rd to be exact), although Nickelodeon aired it much later for some reason. Contrarily, Reef Blower was produced more than halfway through Season 1 despite airing alongside the first episode, Help Wanted. Still, it's interesting how Reef Blower was an idea in the pitch bible even though the crew didn't get to the idea until much later. It's also interesting how Patrick was originally meant to be in that episode, let alone how many episodes we know today were originally gonna be super different. It's kinda fun to imagine every bit of the show turning out exactly as planned. R.I.P. Stephen Hillenburg (1961-2018)

Wow! This is very interesting! It's neat to hear about the little details that were ultimately lost later in development. Like Spongebob and Sandy dating, Patrick apparently renting his rock, and Spongebob not ever making employee of the month, despite being the best employee. That stuff would have kind of grounded the show a bit more, made the characters and world just a little bit more relatable to the real world. (Seriously, can you imagine Patrick needing to pay rent or having to negotiate with his landlord?) To me, Spongebob is a show partially about what a kid wants adulthood to be like. Spongebob lives next to his best friend, has a job he works at purely out of love, and generally doesn't have any responsibilities or obligations to worry about. That's the conflict of the first movie, how Spongebob is a kid essentially playing pretend grown up. It's interesting that, at least during this stage of development, Spongebob as kid isn't mentioned. Again, having some minor grounding elements like rent, dating, and Spongebob being at least somewhat frustrated in his job by not getting employee of the month - could have made the show very different. Something a little closer to Rocko's Modern Life, which makes sense given Stephen Hillenburg worked on that too.

There was definitely hints of a romance sub plot in the beginning. I think that as they produced more episodes with just SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward they realized sandy didn't need to be a main character. It probably also has to do with the creator leaving after like season 3. This means the individuals that guided the reigns of SpongeBob's story decided not to continue with the sandy relationship for various reasons.

as a person who watched every season and spin off The show had potential to be cancelled or zombified during season 9 and this man came back and fixed most of the issues the dark era had. This show is now a mixture between the pitch bible and the dark era. Spongebob lost his desire to fit it, but still is a positive sponge who likes his friends and finds joy in the most common ways. Patrick depends on the episode if it's more about him than spongebob he's the dumb dude guy, but after hillemburg's return, he's the gas of spongebob's fire again instead of the contrary during seasons 5-9. Squidward is know for being a punching bag during seasons 4-9, now it's the punching bag, but he was buffed recovering his traits from the bible and getting more cartoony pain instead of... stuff like the nail. Mr. Krabs was buffed, he's more like the season 2 Mr. krabs. Sandy is weird, writters don't know if she's smart or a sports fan, wich actually was an issue since season 2. Pearl now has a phone. Ms puff now is in a relationship with mr krabs but still has some weird behaviors from the dark era. I still love this show and plenty of the newer episodes, the spin offs are kinda mediocre, but I hope if this show ends one day, it ends on a high note

I would actually like to see spongebob rebooted with a different art style, different character designs, aesthetic and colour pallet but going back to it's original style of animation and comedy, maybe a good approach to this would be for it to be entirely accurate to Stephen Hillenberg's original vision for sponge boy, obviously just using the name spongebob. It might even be interesting to see a spongebob movie that follows the same format as the spongebob bible, a mocumentary presenting itself as a factual account of the discovery of bikini bottom. It would be really cool to see Barnacle Bill in his original state and hear the evermore dramatic retellings of how he came to be essentially a wooden clockwork cyborg. I like the more quirky and rough-around-the-edges art style of Hillenberg's original sketches and it'd make for a nice animation style. I honestly think that's how they should've gone about keeping spongebob alive after Stephen Hillenberg's passing, instead of making these unfaithful and kinda lazy prequels and reboots. It would've actually been a powerful way to honour Hillenberg by bringing his original, unaltered, unfiltered vision to life for either a movie or a one-off episode. It'd actually be even better as a movie because they could try and fit in a lot of those original episode drafts. They could even include Sponge Boy as one of Spongebob's nicknames, since his name is actually Robert Harold Square Squarepants then that means Spongebob is also just a nickname. Idk, it's just a thought. This comment ended up being a lot longer and more fleshed out than I intended 😅.

Like Sandy he’s a Type-A, outgoing figure whose physical and social successes Spongebob - always looking for the “normal” way to find acceptance - aspires to match, but unlike Sandy he’s largely oblivious to the fact that this is something which tends to go on in the little yellow guy’s head. I think that handily explains why there are three separate classic episodes whose premises can be summarized as “Larry’s presence at the beach causes Spongebob to psychically bully himself into going way past his comfort zone and causing havoc”.

A bible in this sense is just a book of settings, traits, and other details pertaining to a media franchise! It’s what’s given out to writers, game devs, etc so they know the ‘rules’ of the show/game/whatever they are making and what they are allowed and not allowed to do. For example, the bible for the Sonic franchise that Sega hands out to the studios who develop Sonic games contains stuff like ‘only Tails and Eggman are allowed to create technology’.

Funny that apparently Krabs thinks so little of Plankton as a threat here that he's willing to let him eat at the Krusty Krab.
Fun Fact: Squeaky Boots, which is seen in the pitch, was one of the first few episodes to be made (the 3rd to be exact), although Nickelodeon aired it much later for some reason. Contrarily, Reef Blower was produced more than halfway through Season 1 despite airing alongside the first episode, Help Wanted. Still, it's interesting how Reef Blower was an idea in the pitch bible even though the crew didn't get to the idea until much later. It's also interesting how Patrick was originally meant to be in that episode, let alone how many episodes we know today were originally gonna be super different. It's kinda fun to imagine every bit of the show turning out exactly as planned. R.I.P. Stephen Hillenburg (1961-2018)

Wow! This is very interesting! It's neat to hear about the little details that were ultimately lost later in development. Like Spongebob and Sandy dating, Patrick apparently renting his rock, and Spongebob not ever making employee of the month, despite being the best employee. That stuff would have kind of grounded the show a bit more, made the characters and world just a little bit more relatable to the real world. (Seriously, can you imagine Patrick needing to pay rent or having to negotiate with his landlord?) To me, Spongebob is a show partially about what a kid wants adulthood to be like. Spongebob lives next to his best friend, has a job he works at purely out of love, and generally doesn't have any responsibilities or obligations to worry about. That's the conflict of the first movie, how Spongebob is a kid essentially playing pretend grown up. It's interesting that, at least during this stage of development, Spongebob as kid isn't mentioned. Again, having some minor grounding elements like rent, dating, and Spongebob being at least somewhat frustrated in his job by not getting employee of the month - could have made the show very different. Something a little closer to Rocko's Modern Life, which makes sense given Stephen Hillenburg worked on that too.

There was definitely hints of a romance sub plot in the beginning. I think that as they produced more episodes with just SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward they realized sandy didn't need to be a main character. It probably also has to do with the creator leaving after like season 3. This means the individuals that guided the reigns of SpongeBob's story decided not to continue with the sandy relationship for various reasons.

Why is it when a male character meets a girl they get along with, they have to be a couple??? I'd rather Sandy being one of SpongeBob's circle of pals, not the "main character's girlfriend" that's boring.
13:24 - 13:26 "the one will we grow up to be" this painful revelation was also mentioned in the emplemon "There will never be again" spongebob series, pretty much spongebob us when kids & squidward when we are adults, its the most intelligent writing i ve ever seen.
I love how the crew portrays female characters in this. Obviously Sandy is smart but she's also courageous, into sports and not a stereotypical nerd or anything. Pearl is still a teenager and still maturing and of course into stereotypically feminine things which is great but I would have loved to have seen her math skills in the show!! That would have balanced her character out so well, especially for the time! Gender roles were definitely subverted and challenged in 90s cartoons and I'm still living for it 💕

as a person who watched every season and spin off The show had potential to be cancelled or zombified during season 9 and this man came back and fixed most of the issues the dark era had. This show is now a mixture between the pitch bible and the dark era. Spongebob lost his desire to fit it, but still is a positive sponge who likes his friends and finds joy in the most common ways. Patrick depends on the episode if it's more about him than spongebob he's the dumb dude guy, but after hillemburg's return, he's the gas of spongebob's fire again instead of the contrary during seasons 5-9. Squidward is know for being a punching bag during seasons 4-9, now it's the punching bag, but he was buffed recovering his traits from the bible and getting more cartoony pain instead of... stuff like the nail. Mr. Krabs was buffed, he's more like the season 2 Mr. krabs. Sandy is weird, writters don't know if she's smart or a sports fan, wich actually was an issue since season 2. Pearl now has a phone. Ms puff now is in a relationship with mr krabs but still has some weird behaviors from the dark era.

14:20 It's notable to point out that Spongebob and Squidward never played ukulele and clarinet together until 2012 in Season 8's "Hello Bikini Bottom", a whole 13 years after the show's release in 1999. It's a welcome surprise to see the idea developed into an actual episode, and a special no less.
You're an excellent narrator. Every video you make is mad interesting!
Just a tiny mistake: Bikini atoll wasn’t a WWII nuclear test site. It was a cold war nuclear test site.

22:19 I think it more so resembles ripped pants. The way he was jealous of Larry, and the song at the end of the episode makes me believe this.
I believe Hillenburg said he thought SpongeBob would only be a 1 season show with a cult following at one point, and honestly, if the show ended up this way, I think it might've been.

Sponchbub Is now real 😳🥴
Very interesting 👀 It's cool to see how it was all in the beginning, what changed and what stays the same!
gosh i just love shows that, well, love and want the best for their characters 🥺 like hearing how much hillenberg truly loves all these characters and loves the sponge himself is so sweet
The Marshall Islands are closer to Japan (both culturally and geographically) than Australia and I would say “Micronesia” (the region it’s in) rather than Oceania (which is like saying Eurasia or The Americas)
You can really tell the passion he put into this. It's such a creative way to pitch a show, too. One of my earliest childhood heroes.
Discern what you know about the latter of the yellow sponge's success, and it becomes recognizable how Nickelodeon treated Hillenburg and the characters after his death. Overall, Stephen Hillenberg's characters are insanely lovable, and he created a world where it pushes through boundaries through subliminal and blatant means while touching the hearts of an entire audience. That is what makes Spongebob Squarepants the most eclectic show of its time.

very glad i found your channel, the way you can explain stuff without really extending the video for no reason is pretty good, cant wait to see how much you grow
Dangit I was expecting Bible Stories starring Spongebob characters.
You seriously make some of the best videos on youtube!

Never realized that artstyle is so unique. Reminds me of Dr.Suess
Spongebob and Splatoon gave a lot in common! Cartoon sea creatures, a single mammal character, *mysterious cryptic lore-*
The image of spongebob at the top at 6:11 is true meme worthy status

Everytime i think of sponges as an animal i come to this video just to hear the sentance "spongebob and his boys?"
19:44 Fun fact: Barnacle Bill is the name of a seafood restaurant chain in Australia.
If only the modern spongebob team actually read this and the show will be more better and more of the spirit of old spongebob.

Most of the "modern" team was around during this time though and besides even old spongebob changed after the pitch

This bible changes everything. We all thought Bubble Bass was going to be the main antagonist for the series but got overshadowed by Plankton, but this reveals that Plankton was always intended as such.

Ppl rlly thought that? Bubble Bass never seemed as “important” as Plankton, seems clear to me who the main antagonist was gonna be
I would actually like to see spongebob rebooted with a different art style, different character designs, aesthetic and colour pallet but going back to it's original style of animation and comedy, maybe a good approach to this would be for it to be entirely accurate to Stephen Hillenberg's original vision for sponge boy, obviously just using the name spongebob. It might even be interesting to see a spongebob movie that follows the same format as the spongebob bible, a mocumentary presenting itself as a factual account of the discovery of bikini bottom. It would be really cool to see Barnacle Bill in his original state and hear the evermore dramatic retellings of how he came to be essentially a wooden clockwork cyborg. I like the more quirky and rough-around-the-edges art style of Hillenberg's original sketches and it'd make for a nice animation style. I honestly think that's how they should've gone about keeping spongebob alive after Stephen Hillenberg's passing, instead of making these unfaithful and kinda lazy prequels and reboots. It would've actually been a powerful way to honour Hillenberg by bringing his original, unaltered, unfiltered vision to life for either a movie or a one-off episode. It'd actually be even better as a movie because they could try and fit in a lot of those original episode drafts. They could even include Sponge Boy as one of Spongebob's nicknames, since his name is actually Robert Harold Square Squarepants then that means Spongebob is also just a nickname. Idk, it's just a thought. This comment ended up being a lot longer and more fleshed out than I intended 😅.

They have refrenced spongeboy like showed a sketch of him in an episode and also theyv only made 1 "prequal" wich is kamp koral but kk is complicated cause it takes place in an alternate reality but anyway yeah iv been thinking the same thing it would be cool if they made an episode with the the original style colors of spongeboy ahoy it seems like somthing they would do
U seriously need more subscribers. Ur videos are the best!
I really love all the style in his original sketches for the pitch
I really love the art style present hear, it's just about the same, but there's little things that make the bible art pop and look so alive, honestly sad it doesn't look like that
What an absolutely charming way to pitch a show
This was great! I checked out a few more things too and now you've got yourself a new trusted fan :) Keep it up!
I half expected this to be a weird spongebob version of the actual bible
Is it odd that this sounds like a better show then sponge bob, no insults towards spongebob though, I love that show
Once again banger video hope you get the silver button soon

the benefits of being a marine biologist
[Insert inevitable 'There are many benefits to being a marine biologist' meme here] I would like to nominate the sentence "We had indeed found Sponge Boy" for some sort of academy award, please
8:07 This whole section just hurts really bad for some reason Anyone else feel like their life consists mostly of wanting to fit in and make others happy? Optimism sometimes feels very painful, but Stephen Hillenberg definitely created the all time greatest mascot for it.
I was waiting a shitpost, but this is better
3:35 ish: *"dies of information overload"* *SAMSUNG NOTIFICATION SOUND BASS BOOSTED*
Barnacle bill actually comes back exactly like in the pitch in a spongebob comic arc
I'm about 10 minutes in but I wanted to say I appreciated the Sponge lesson before I forget Also seeing SpongeBob's characterization written down by the creators makes me notice his little ticks that I never thought about like his whole detail oriented thing with his pencils in boating school I never thought I'd see a new perspective on a show I know like the back of my hand
0:17 Uh... no, that's just the term used in the industry for the document detailing a show being pitched.
Hell yeah new video

This channel is amazing so far I love deep dive lore stuff and it’s really entertaining

SpongeBob is clearly a dish sponge. Pretty sure those are entirely fabricated.
