SpongeBob Got Chocolate Milk Commercial [HQ Recreation]

Feb 2024 update:

When I first uploaded this, I called it a "restoration" but that was inaccurate.

Restorations (for films at least) involve many professional processes, such as rescanning original film reels at higher resolutions/cleaning up without damaging or altering the original pictures.

This was just a TV ad, and the only source we had was a shitty video tape recording that was beyond "restoring." So I guess the only option left really was to re-draw everything, but it goes without saying that tracing alters the original picture, and therefore isnt a real "restoration." All I could really call it is a "recreation." I do still think this process was interesting and im not sure if many other people attempted doing something similarly to this...

END OF UPDATE

Recreated by me.
Vocals were restored by @teajohnny7809 sound effects and Puka A were also edited by him. This video was uploaded in 2K to preserve higher audio frequencies.

I love the simplicity of this commercial, it’s just SpongeBob and Patrick being good friends and having a laugh. Their friendship is so pure.

The fact that we finally found this commercial after so many years only to find an NSFW version of it 9 months later is poetic.

[briangoudreau]

WOW! This is incredible! The animation is smooth, the colors feels natural, and, overall, this feels like an actual episode of the show! Exellent job, my friend.

EDIT: To clear up any future misconseption, I am referring to the quality of the restoration. I am aware that this youtuber did not remake this commercial from scratch; he recolored each individual frame to it's original quality. The description of the video further explains this.

OH GOD IMAGINE IF THE OTHER VERSION WAS DISCOVERED BEFORE THIS

[SnazzyGold]

I CAN NEVER LOOK AT IT THE SAME WAY AGAIN AFTER SEEING WHAT WAS BEHIND THOSE DOORS.

[Season]

That looks awesome, great job! And to think this was almost completely lost not too long ago.

[jjcartagena]

No way! 😮 This looks so real! I can’t believe this!

You actually did every single frame and background! I declare you, the master of restoring and animating Spongebob!

Seriously though, that was spectacular!

[loremipsum]

I will never look at this commercial the same again...

[RudeRabit]

We’ve barely even had this commercial found and it’s now ruined for everyone.

[PichusGameGallery]

Yoooo, so many things to say!

-You found the actual date to where this (possibly) first aired
-The clean animation is back once again
-Audio sounds better than before
-This is one of the best remastered lost media versions I've ever seen! It's like if it ever made a comeback to commercial breaks!

[fastfox]

Who knew that one lost media would get ruined by another lost media

[saugusandsausages]

Wow! This looks incredible. I woulda never guessed this was all redrawn and repainted for this restoration either. Felt like I stepped back in time to 2001. Well done! 🎉

[SpongeDan]

We will never see this commercial the same way ever again.

[PogieJoe]

So cool to find that there's so many people online that care to restore curiosities like this just for fun! This is an incredible amount of work!

[meowmeow]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fan Spongebob animation look this accurate to the show 😳 Nickelodeon should definitely hire you.

[TheFlydfknrlz]

This was out of this world with the editing and coloring!!! This is easily one of of greatest fixes of lost media I have ever seen!! I hope you guys can do hd Remasters of other SpongeBob ads!!

[green_boot]

well guys, this commercial will never be the same again

[JacksonWitsell]

I wish this was what the modern episodes looked like. So smooth!

[WeegeepieYT]

Ive thought of this! Massive W for doing it!

[GlassesPower]

All I gotta say is, This is just amazing, the fact that your restored all the frames, and teajohny ripping the SFX and music, and this being the result is just awesome. Phenomenal Job
