SpongeBob SquarePants: Mind the Gap - UK/US scene comparisons

Wow, Mind the Gap had quite a few scenes cut in the UK airing.

USA: Squidward is weak
UK: Squidward is strong

[seto]

It honestly makes sense that the UK version would censor out the dentistry, no matter how shoddy it might have been.

[McNibbler]

Even though the US version is better just because it’s how the creators intended, the UK censors’ work here is impressive

[matthewjarrell]

The fact that it’s still the same voice actor just shows how impressive Tom Kenny’s range is.

[OGTiTan]

Seeing squidward push spongebobs teeth together genuinely makes my spine shiver

[Elerstinc]

Plot twist: They didn’t nerf Squidward, they buffed Spongebob.

[itselfbookshelf]

Squidward's moveset was too strong so they nerfed him in the US version

[sumkindacheeto]

Everyone else: "Eww, the drill scene is disgusting."

Me, who's currently in trade school: "The screw would have held up if it was in a dowel."

[terpsidance.]

As a kid in the USA, I can confirm I was influenced by Spongebob to screw my teeth together and drink bubble formula.

Nick U.K. has been censoring a lot of SpongeBob recently
First mind the gap now SpongeBob in randomland

0:49 This is what I like about this censor, it’s the same thing but they change so that you can’t see the screw. Most censors keep something that they censored in a previous scene.

[SpiralPoli]

In the PAL version, Squidward was too OP, so he was nerfed for the NTSC version.

[TanukidLeaf]

You can still hear SpongeBob lick his teeth in the UK and say “Ah!”

[RealPeppaPigXD]

Uk squidward: unlimited power

Us squidward: i'm too weak

[Caliburnz]

The US version is basically how every kid thinks of going to the dentists when they have a cavity

[demonkingpiccoloedits]

US version is way better. Especially when he uses the bubbles it makes more sense that the notes are pink

[TeeArCreep]

0:21 is probably the most accurate depiction of the average treatment for a 0.3 millimeter gap between 2 teeth.

[zillycat]

Yeah this is definitely in need of censoring not the times characters literally rip their own skin off lol

[TheGalaxyDew]

This is the kind of ren and stimpy look!!!

[simplebrain]

Squidward In USA: im so weak:(
Squidwars In UK: Ultimate power >:)
