Personal story: I auditioned for a stage production of A Charlie Brown Christmas. The audition required us to use a monologue from a children’s show or movie. I used the Goofy Goober speech for my audition and went all in on it. Everyone laughed their heads off and soon after that, I was cast as Pig Pen. And that’s the story of how SpongeBob got me my first paid gig.

I remember being ten years old, the absolute HEIGHT of Spongebob fame, this was the biggest movie in me and my friends lives. We all had this sense that once the movie was over, there'd be no more Spongebob and a chapter of our childhoods would close forever. I remember just sitting in the theater through all the end credits, something I had never done before, not crying or anything but just kind of like watching the sun set and accepting "Well, adios Spongebob." And then...well, y'know.

[@KittySnicker]

I've found that younger fans (who didn't grow up during the initial airing of seasons 1-3) tend to view this movie as perfect more often than older fans.

[@2ndbrid]

It's unironically my favorite movie of all time.

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

Another Fun Fact: The idea for the frog fish to catch SpongeBob and Patrick came from series creator Stephen Hillenburg, who mentioned on the special feature "The Case of Sponge Bob". He explained while the film was being made Stephen went snorkeling in Hawaii and he saw a frog fish hiding behind a yellow sea sponge. And as Stephen watched it he figured he should use this in the movie. Also real frog fish have a thing on their head called a small worm lure to catch their meals. But for the movie they changed it to a sweet old lady selling ice cream sundaes which attracted both SpongeBob and Patrick.

Another Fun Fact: The ship used for the live-action pirate scenes in the beginning was the 1960 replica of the HMS 'Bounty', a merchant ship used by the British Empire in the late 1700s. The replica ship was sunk in late 2012 by Hurricane Sandy. (In fact, there's a character in the movie and series that is named Sandy)

[@mitchellneu]

My favorite line in the movie: “All bubble blowing babies will be beaten senseless by every able-bodied patron in the bar.” “Bar.” I don’t know why, but that extra “bar” from that one dude at the end of that phrase always made me laugh, and still does.

[@Werewolfwrath]

I just re-watched that scene, and only just realized that the guy who said that extra "bar" only did so because he started saying the line a half second later than everyone else.

However, he was quickly scrapped and replaced with the pirate crew when Paramount executives took issue with Patchy's schtick as the host of a cheap kids' show, as anything cheap-looking, even if done intentionally as a parody, made them feel uncomfortable. The pirate's parrot, however, still has the same voice as Patchy's parrot, Potty.

I was a HUGE SpongeBob fan during its golden years. I had a whole shelf of SpongeBob stuff, and I was ecstatic about seeing the movie. My mom took me and my little brother to see it on opening day, and it it was a memorable experience. I also got the watch that Burger King gave out to promote the movie. The video game is lot of fun to play, and it serves as an unofficial sequel to the original Battle for Bikini Bottom game. Dennis' design on the level where you fight him on Hasselhoff was his original design before it was changed to what it is in the movie. Plus, the game is the only place where it has the movie's concept art. One of them has SpongeBob sending Patrick away after they have gotten mustaches with an ice cream cone on the ground. I'd like to think there was a deleted plot element where SpongeBob catches Patrick eating an ice cream cone, which angers him since it's not a manly thing to do, so he tells Patrick to leave which makes Patrick sad. I've been going on and on, so the last thing I'll say is that the soundtrack is lit!

Technically, it’s never actually been officially confirmed as the ending of the show. One writer even came out on Twitter a couple years ago and said no, it’s not the ending because SpongeBob literally has no continuity, so no episode (even if the show ends) nor movie is actually “the end.” That said, a lot of fans consider it the official ending, just because Hillenburg wasn’t planning on anything else after this while writing it.

Originally, SpongeBob was supposed to end after their film. But Nickelodeon continued the series after the great success it had with their ratings and plus, it would’ve been devastating for it to end so abruptly.

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

Another Fun Fact: While Sandy has a very minor role in the final version of the film, she originally was a tad more prominent. During SponeBob's morning routine at the beginning, he was meant to go to Sandy's tree dome and find it abandoned. He remembers that Sandy returned to the surface, making him sad for a moment. Then, towards then end of the film, after SpongeBob and Patrick escape Shell City, they were to meet Sandy who appears as a real life squirrel, which disgusts Patrick so much he vomits repeatedly. Sandy agrees to help them return to Bikini Bottom, though she is busy with her own adventure and being chased by a group of men in black suits. While she helps them escape to the beach, they'd run past human versions of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward. Apparently, this scene was cut due to Nickelodeon taking issue with the joke of Sandy being a fugitive on the run from the government and was also due to Patrick vomiting being shown on camera.

You know it was only a matter a time before Phantom appeared on one of Doug’s videos and I am here for it!

[@claymathewselevator8121]

When he possessed Tamara was funny

[@myaleesilvia9753]

leaning heavy into the nostalgia lately and i absolutely love it

[@joshuaW5621]

Finally we reach the first SpongeBob movie. And it’s great seeing PhantomStrider again.

[@PlatformChef]

This Movie has such a special place in my heart. When I was a kid, I begged my Mom to take me to the theater to watch it, we came late and only saw the last 30 minutes. When the DVD was announced that was the only thing I asked my parents for that year. I watched the movie countless times and loved it, and I even still have the same DVD to this day. Aww. Good Times.

[@Toontastic_Juju]

Really enjoy this crossover! You guys made a great team together with this review. The first SpongeBob movie is one of my favorites when it comes to films based on a cartoon, and I still enjoy many of the songs and memes it came from it!

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Loved the possessed Tamara bit 😂

[@Pikmin442]

I definitely saw this in theaters back in 2004, I was the right age and loved SpongeBob. Ill always love this movie and I hope you cover the other SpongeBob movies and more Nickelodeon movies.

[@nickdorenkamp959]

I’d love to see more crossovers from the Nostalgic Man.

[@quentinparhiala9415]

So would I

[@roentgen822]

Is it wrong of me to want more of Tamara getting possessed lol she was hilarious. Just make that a series by itself actually 😂

[@DESTROYABLE__]

It’s not wrong of you even I want to and it’s 😂

[@donhatter159]

19:26 He found captain winky!

[@codywelter5302]

Ace Ventura 😂😂😂😂

[@donhatter159]

Yup

[@angelofmusic1992]

I remember this being a big deal when I was a kid and I honestly still enjoy this movie as an adult. It still makes me laugh and I really like rewatching it to see how many scenes are still used as memes today.

[@mrzatara6263]

14:57 "fucking bubbles" never fails to make me laugh

[@mr.patriotjol]

its been over 10 years since we last had one lmao

[@djnorris1572]

Hey two callbacks.

[@umerchoudhary2822]

This movie just hits differently for people that grew up during that time period. I remember we would pull the TV into the classroom and all huddle up to watch it whenever it was raining or snowing too hard during recess or lunch. It just has a special place in my heart that makes me tear up, especially that scene of Spongebob and Patrick drying up.

[@Ravaille]

One of the best and smoothest collab reviews, well done. The SpongeBob series being almost two decades old, is indeed a nostalgia experience reviewing it again

[@koneheadcokehead4981]

I'm pretty sure you just made so many fans happy that you review this

[@quentinparhiala9415]

Same

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

16:08 ill never get tired of that scene. You guys feel the same?

[@shawncleary3450]

I never thought I’d see it, with me own eyes! A nostalgia critic of the SpongeBob movie!

[@andrelavandero3041]

HORAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

[@liizzset]

I know right!

[@quentinparhiala9415]

me either

[@andrelavandero3041]

@kristopherprime9837 Yeah, I didn’t get that, either.

[@Kylerulez666]

Just watched the full review. Growing up I absolutely was obsessed with SpongeBob so being a 4 year old around Christmas time getting to see this movie followed by my first snow (doesn't snow here much) and getting a DS for Christmas... Amazing childhood memories

[@adamtschupp9825]

My soul died when he said that the movie released almost 20 years ago

[@cheneethompson5756]

We're all getring old! Lol!

[@redwarriorstudios6077]

Fun Fact: In the Thug Tug scene the song that plays is called “You Better Swim” by Motörhead. Which was re written from their album March or Die, “You Better Run”.

[@TheDanielTemov]

Motörhead in SpongeBob brings a smile to my face as a metal fan!

[@cjrebirth]

😂😂 to this day, I imagine this movie as the finale of SpongeBob overall. I also loved that this had "Best Day Ever" during the credits

[@matthewhyman8795]

The inner mechanisms of Critic's and Strider's minds will be an enigma for this.

[@ukasdubbing134]

16:20 Fun fact: Mindy is actually played by the same voice actress who played Meg in the Brazilian dub of Family Guy and the SpongeBob movie.

[@emerald.gr3mlinn]

20:22 funny enough there’s an episode of SpongeBob that literally references that video a la Patrick drawing squidward in the same manner

[@NamelessGamer29]

This is and always will be my favorite movie. It takes me back to a simpler time when being a kid was just a part of every day life

[@TAGibby]

"Released almost 20 years ago in 2004" I have never felt so old as I feel right now.

[@chasehedges6775]

👍💯

[@kdusel1991]

Not the crossover we needed but the one that we deserved! Also happy birthday Malcolm!!! Thanks for all the laughs and insight! Here's to many more!!

[@musicsheep9816]

I actually DO see this movie as a masterpiece. Not many movies put being childish or immature in a very positive light. Also, I like how Squidward finally starts giving a shit once Plankton starts taking over, only to be given the bucket treatment. By the way, this movie came out on my birthday, and I even got the OST CD, which included songs from THE FLAMING LIPS AND MOTORHEAD. Also, it's theorized that the ice cream IS alcoholic because the bar section of the Goofy Goober is empty and dim, implying that it's a place for "adults" only.

[@bobsaget832]

8:23 I feel like this joke is whooshing right over my head. What is adult themed about ‘see you next Tuesday’?

[@meh2521]

It implies that Mrs. Puff is an alcoholic that doesn't come into work on Mondays, since alcoholics tend to drink all weekend, then spend Monday recovering from a hangover. I had a coworker that did the same thing, and I was surprised he lasted as long as he did 🍺🥃🍾🍷🍸

[@dcobwam]

​@@meh2521 C U Next Tuesday

[@meh2521]

@@dcobwam that too lol Though she's also a nice lady that's been driven insane by SpongeBob 😂

[@CommanderOfTheSun]

16:50 "Only 51 minutes into the film, I think we can have our first song" The Goofy Goober song? The theme song?

[@siryoshi2004]

I think Strider meant like in a musical sense, where the characters sing about how they feel.

[@darthcinema4262]

A review I never expected but glad it's here. Been a huge Spongebob fan my whole life. Plus it's awesome seeing Phantomstrider

[@revinevan300]

Maybe it’s just me, but seeing PhantomStrider showing up to help review this movie just brings a big smile to my face.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Loved his Tamara possession 😂

[@dragonheart2272]

Wonderful memories of watching this and the show with my family. My mom took my sister and I to see this opening weekend. The scene where SpongeBob and Patrick dry out, I was squeezing my mothers arm trying not to cry.

[@thomaslee2777]

This review aged like fava beans and a nice chianti.
