I Watched Spongebob's AWFUL New Episode...

Spongebob is not back, despite what some people will tell you

[BradenINSANE]

The video wasn't loading on mobile devices at first... that should be fixed now

Seeing the way SpongeBob behaves in this episode made me believe that the original SpongeBob died and was replaced with an annoying baby stunt double named BitchBob.

[s.s.]

SpongeBob is the perfect example of a show that either dies a legend or lives long enough to become a villain to its original fan base

[lazlotakahashi]

Modern SpongeBob (and I mean modern as in the past five or more years) is literally just “hey remember this?!” and it’s so unbelievably mind numbing.

What I think is most annoying is just how blatantly obvious it is that the staff adds a bunch of references to older episodes because they're desperate for ratings. Especially since the show is on a complete decline to the point where almost no one talks about new SpongeBob unless if it's another Vailskibum video talking about a new reference to an older episode

theres something so sad about the fact stephen hillenburg wanting the show to end after the first movie and nick just continuing it against his wishes. even after he dies theyre still milking it

[houston]

Me thinking the beginning was the title of the episode💀💀💀

[ryonhatcher]

It's clear that the Developers behind the Show are referencing past episodes that *they* liked, not what the Audience liked.

I love how positive and friendly Spongebob is, I mean who doesn't.. But I agree modern Spongebob is way too annoying and even cringe-worthy at times..

[FeligamiAdrizoeSworaBunnydoll]

SpongeBob really needs to end. Like for good. As in forever.

As someone with both a diagnosed anxiety and depression, I don't think the rope gag compares to basically an entire episode, especially as the one with the rope gag also had a genuinely good intentioned SpongeBob.

The SpongeBob movie was the canon ending so I can happily just ignore that these newer seasons exist

[maddiesmiless]

in my opinion the death of stephen hillenburg is one of the greatest tragedies of all time. this show is part of who i am as a person and that will never change. it’s really unfortunate that this is what the show is now, but i think the legacy of spongebob should always live on because it doesn’t really get much better.

[BallisticWistfully]

I'm honestly disappointed the way Spongebob went after season 3. Had it carried the same charm, this show's legacy would be even greater

[PaxMations]

Old SpongeBob was golden. New episodes are just cringe

[christianjohnson]

Sometimes i wonder if the SpongeBob cast even recognize how ridiculous some of the episodes are

[diegodubber]

SpongeBob is pretty much a zombie franchise at this point

[gerogie]

It's kind of ironic that the writer who wrote Season 3's best episodes wrote THIS episode.

[moviemovie-uiqc]

Even as a kid, I HATED sponge on and Patrick and related to squidward, stuck between two obstacles. and I only liked episodes where people like plankton or squidward were happy. The complete disregard for squid's mental health is disgusting.

There's another episode from recently that I think is a MUCH better example of spongebob being positive and supportive without being overly childish. "Ride Pat, Ride" shows spongebob teaching Patrick how to ride a bike. It's not exactly top tier, but when it comes to character, I really appreciated how much more relaxed spongebob was throughout it, and whenever something went wrong, he usually didn't mean any harm from it.
