The End of SpongeBob's 'Classic Era'

We all know that SpongeBob isn't what it used to be, but today's I'm going to try and find out exactly why that happened.

Please, no more splinter episode scenes

The worst thing about new spongebob is that they don't have any good Patrick jokes. Like honestly, when was the last time you laughed at something Patrick said in the newer seasons?

Went from great to *B E L O N G S I N T H E T R A S H*

I hated the toenail scene when i was little, It made me really not want to watch the show anymore...

[McMerlin]

The gross scenes in the newer seasons of SpongeBob make my skin crawl

I went on a field trip to Nickelodeon studios for my art school back in the beginning of 2017. We passed through the spongebob animation department and low and behold, half of the team was playing Smash Bros. Lol I *definitely* think they have their priorities in order

My main problem with newer spongebob is how hectic it is. The older seasons were pretty calm, with long moments were nothing would happen. But now, something happens every five seconds and it gets annoying to watch.

I can't breathe....hahahaha when Mr krabs said "money!"

Okay but guys, the difference here is that this person actually realizes that the newest seasons are getting better. A lot of the other people who make these videos have "given up on the newer seasons" so wouldn't know that the newer ones are getting better. Yes the aspect of making a "Why Spongebob is Bad" video is unoriginal, but this one is updated for the latest seasons.

To be honest I think the newest seasons are horrible. Old Spongebob was a lot more calm and now the characters are jumping around the screen the entire time. I also think the facial animations are really bad.

Thank you. Everyone talks about the gross-out and messing with kids in Spongebob. They always talk about the live action butterfly, the mangle, the
splinter and the fucking toenail scene, but no one seems to mention the one scene that made me super uncomfortable: the end of the teleport accident episode. That horrifying mass of main characters stuck together... it gave my childhood self many nightmares.
Thank you for remembering that scene when no one else does.

[jessesaysthebword]

Wow I don't think theres a much better retrospective of this show on YouTube, thank you for also pointing out the much later season on how there improving instead of just blindly hating on them.

[khalidhenry]

I'll tell you what caused the fall, Nickelodeon too stubborn to cancel the show

[ivygirl]

You notice how Patrick gets stupider each new season or episode

[lordwhisper]

Yall noticed how the characters make a different facial expression every 2.7 seconds? Seasons 1-4 were the best seasons imo

[fuzzywuzzy]

i heard a rumor a while back that i dont think i ever looked into but just took at face value, that one or a few of the people who worked on ren and stimpy moved on to work on the newer spongebob seasons.

i hated ren and stimpy (and other cartoons of its ilk) as a kid and i HATED the new style of gross-out humor that spongebob was taking on, so i just accepted the rumor as a truth because it made sense.

[parforet]

I believe the reason for the decline was probably because of the writers who wrote the episodes during that period between season 6-9a. They most likely didn't understand why pre-1st movie episodes where Squidward suffers worked hence why we got Squidward torture porns. I also heard somewhere that during that period, the writers didn't have much time to make episodes because they were being pushed to make more episodes. This probably led to them not having enough time to think out the episodes which probably explains why a lot of episodes in that era weren't good.

I will never forget the time that my turned on the TV and Pizza Delivery was airing. The first episode I was introduced to this (was) great series and made me learn English first than Spanish by accident. Because Im a PuertoRican with an American accent.
