3 am

Patrick rethinking his life choices

[jojozoid]

"The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma."
Carton of milk spills over*

The best part is that this still feels like it could be a scene out of classic SpongeBob.

[masterxl]

It’s fascinating how easily “OH BOY, 3 AM!!!” can be changed to, “Oh boy… 3AM…”

[Bearded_Bream]

Despite seeing this episode dozens of times as a kid and having this scene committed to memory, you could tell me this was the actual scene and I would believe you.

Patrick is reflecting his life choices after Squidward's comment

[standard-carrier-wo-chan]

Not gonna lie the dramatic artstyle shift just fits the show as a whole so perfectly.

[CaptainKotetsu]

Let’s not pretend the first three seasons didn’t have stuff this surreal.

[tvman]

There’s something about eating a whole ass meal at 3 am that just feels surreal. Especially if it’s fast food.
On one hand, you clearly can afford such a tasty and fulfilling meal. On the other hand, you’re eating it at an unusual time of day.
Really makes you reflect on your choices for sure.

If this scene was actually in the show, it would be an iconic scene.

[IcedUp]

Let’s face it, nothing will beat the first few seasons of SpongeBob. What an era.

[b-mansly]

"Oh boy, 3AM!" is something I quote to myself weekly, if not daily. This show has infected my generation with a brain worm that cannot be removed. The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.

[koganeitou]

This so should have been in the show. It's so fitting. Just like that tempo shift from Patrick waking up all goofy to his alarm, then... close-up, art style change, music switch up, silence in the foreground and background, no words, just staring at a krabby patty.
It's like this horror-esque uncanny ritual.
This takes the "Oh boy 3am!" to another level. All the way to... "It is now 3am. I must devour this krabby patty." 💀💀💀

[MyklesChannel]

He actually looks as if he's an addict. Like he doesn't WANT to keep waking up at 3am for a krabby patty, but his body requires it and he's questioning how his life has gotten to this point

[wacodraco]

Patrick woke up suddenly trying to remember his dream but it’s just a burning memory

[Darksaviour]

Patrick: I eat because I’m unhappy, I’m unhappy because I eat.

[BrickfaceEddy]

Patrick in his mind "why?.. why do I do these things to myself?"

[MegaDchamp]

As a Jack In the Box overnight worker, i can confirm that many people want a burger at 3am.

[DolanDarker]

I would do vile things to that succulent, delicious looking krabby patty

[grenade]

spongebob episodes be silly as hell and then have a shot like this

[pandamera]

This just takes an already funny scene and makes it even funnier.
