[@legometaworld2728]

They could’ve gotten that message across without depicting sexual harassment, though. I don’t want to imagine a victim of sexual abuse (child or otherwise) turning on an all ages show they trust and seeing an otherwise harmless character doing that. This was like trying to send a message about mental health awareness by having them discover Squidward’s dead body with poison and a note- it’s an important message, but not an age-appropriate manner to get it across.

[@amberalvia1101]

*have real life problems

[@lylastevens.fancy.a.magicpie]

I think where the problem people have with the black ink episode, is that, they’re tormenting and scaring squidward, getting his ink from it, then profiting off of it behind squidwards back without him knowing or even so consenting to it. And then also selling it to the customers without the customers knowing where it came from.

[@destinyuribes110]

My parents didn't like the episode bc it reminded my mom about SA and things like that. Forcing someone to let you do things to there body that they are clearly uncomfortable with and then making profit off it without the person's consent. My mom being an SA survivor that's all it reminded her about the first time she saw it was was shook it was that obvious but it could just be certain trauma causes certain things to look different ways quicker but idk 🤷 and watching it now it looks the same way. But yet again they end up fixing the problem and apologizing at the end to and realized what they were doing wrong. Idk there's a lot of controversy on that one episode alone so

Honestly, squirrel jokes discusses casual racism phenomenally. And just racism in general way better than a lot of other kids cartoons. The allegory is clear and consice.

11:50 the episode was actually censored due to a scene where squidward was set on fire and was cut due to being too recreatable.

[@gorgeousfreeman1318]

Ink Lemonade, for me, is worse because it's psychological torment. It isn't hurting squidward, it's actually torturing him until he's trembling in fear. That's the kind of torture that never heals.

[@elizabethbentley2582]

i think the "you like krabby patties dont ya squidward" one was because there used to be a scene in the episode where when squidward sneaks into the krusty krab, mr. krabs had booby trapped it by dumping a bucket of gasoline on squidward and then a lit match drops on him n he blows up. this scene was removed because it was little too specific, and i think it was right around 9/11 times and they were taking out any kinda buildings exploding type stuff from media. this one is often sited as a mandela effect lol but no it really happened they just removed the scene.

[@mikejeffries3333]

I made an audible "What?!" for almost every episode in the first seven minutes of this video-so many of these are episodes I remember fondly that portray the problems as a bad thing. Like, what the heck is objectionable about SpongeBob's Last Stand? Were highway megacorporations offended by it?

[@dusk2573]

I took the Sandy playing stupid as more sexism than racism. Like when he says “but clap slow, remember she’s a squirrel!” Squirrel rhymes with girl which probably made me think that, but I guess SpongeBob also had many female audience members who also laughed and made fun of Sandy.

One thing I do have to say is SpongeBob was one of those series that none of us really grasped, we watched it because it was our favorite thing to watch. So controversiality has nothing to do with it we felt the show for as it was and we ultimately learned from it because it’s how most of us acted. I can say I didn’t come from a stable home. This show with it in my life I honestly don’t know if I would ultimately be a good kid back then. Everything happens for a reason and we loved this show. Hope everyone a good time 🙏🏼

I imagine that the episode where Patrick and SpongeBob are a “couple” was only controversial because it came out in the early 2000s-early 2010s when it still wasn’t “normal” to be gay in a lot of states.

the controversy on the squidward krabby patty episode was the buckets of gas that were edited out after 911

The just one more bite episode has cut scenes too, where squidwards is on fire. Apperently the krabby patty alarms system is a bucket of gasoline (squidward thinks it’s just water) but then a match falls and it explodes, this happens again when he goes into the kitchen. Since this came out around the time of 9/11 they thought that those scene could trigger some kids or something

The episode where they raise a clam together made me upset because of how overstimulating it was, and how awful Patrick was. The ban was purely homophobic, and bullshit.

Selling out was and is/always will be one of my all time favourite episodes, also never was banned in the UK, thankfully.

[@kajsdhflkaSE]

I grew up with this show, so I might have seen some of these, and I want to share what impact these banned episodes had on me. Mid-Life Crustacean: This episode made me consider what it's like to grow old and drift away from your younger self. While recapturing your youth can be rewarding, there is a reason we all grew up. So, you should temper your cynical adult views with the views of the optimistic child you used to be, and do your best to accept the passage of time and learn to age gracefully. This was definitely an episode aimed at the adults, but it's a lesson I carried into adulthood. Rock A Bye Bivalve: This episode is a little dated now, but it was an eye opening exploration into the parent dynamic, where it can go wrong, and why it's worth it in the end. I think this was meant to accompany the lessons related to the housekeeping lessons that students learn in middle school where they have to take care of a doll or balloon. The Great Snail Race: This episode is about the perils of pushing yourself or others too hard to achieve a goal. I think the lesson is pretty sweet, and it's one that I think more people should learn. Squirrel Jokes: This is about the dangers of pleasing a crowd at the expense of someone else, and the effects of stereotyping. The lesson being that if you're going to crack jokes, you have to be even handed about it, or else you'll inevitably end up picking on the smallest minority in the room without realizing it. Selling Out: Big companies bad, and money won't make you happy. This is more of a lesson for small business owners, and there's no reason for this to be controversial. Spongebob's last stand: This isn't one I'm familiar with, but it seems pretty innocent compared to a lot of the other new episodes. Not sure where the controversy is, since it's a pretty accurate portrayal of what activists have been facing for years. Nobody is gonna care about the environment until it effects them. (though in recent years, even this was proven to be not enough to get people to change their stance on climate) Ink Lemonade: wh- what is this? They just tortured squidward for a whole episode? I think the overarching lesson for squidward torture episodes is that even though he's doing exactly what Spongebob and Patrick are doing, because he usually has some kind of selfish motivation or is overthinking it, he fails where Patrick and Spongebob succeeded. This episode almost completely ignores this, and just makes Patrick into a dumber version of Squidward with seemingly no consequences for his own actions. Sailor Mouth: This episode gave me more guidance as a kid about swearing than any of the adults around me ever could. It tells you exactly why it's bad, why they're used, and why they are being punished for it. It also lays on the implication that once you learn them, you can't unlearn them. That's why Mr. Krabs swears so much when he stubs his toe, he was a sailor himself, so he knows all of them, and they all came tumbling out when he lost his composure. The Splinter: This one made me stop watching all together. I think the intended lesson is that when you are injured, you should ask for help immediately instead of ignoring it. It's just that the consequences are so grotesque that the lesson gets lost under all the pus. Just One Bite: This one appears to be about peer pressure and addiction, specifically to fast food, since drugs aren't appropriate nor does it fit their humor. Squidward is punished because he is once again being selfish to the point of self destruction. He didn't want to give Songebob the satisfaction of being right, so he hid his addiction, which then grew completely out of control. The circumstances around this episode make the lesson much more broad than simple addiction, it's also about being honest with yourself and others, or else bad things can happen. As for the peer pressure angle, this doesn't always have to be a bad thing nor is it always about drugs. Spongebob just wanted to help Squidward experience a new thing, but then discovers what is probably the reason why he was avoiding them in the first place. Spongebob also learns his lesson in this episode in that he realizes afterwards that he was too pushy, but the damage is done. Kwarantined Krab: Another I am unfamiliar with. Not sure what the lesson was supposed to be, other than don't be that guy who hides their illness, or you can get everyone around you sick. One Coarse Meal: I'm familiar with this one, I watched it many times as a kid, and I still don't know for sure what the lesson was.

[@jaybeans981]

Just One Bite isn't controversial because of the addiction plot. It's controversial because in the first airing, there was a scene where Squidward snuck into the Krusty Krab and saw that their security system was a bucket of water perched on the door, which he kicks over. He then smells the water and realizes it's gas before a robotic hand drops a match on the floor. It was removed in later airings.

[@AidenRKrone]

The episode with the faceless, corrupt corporation buying the Krusty Krab isn't anti-corporation, it's anti-faceless-corporation. There's a difference. The episode is a warning against what happens with drabness and facelessness takes over.

Mid-Life Crustacean and Sailor Mouth were pure examples of how SpongeBob once used to be a show that could be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
