DEBUNKING Alex Bale's Mrs Puff Theory...

[@AlexBaleFilms]

You make some good points! I’ve always regretted the whole “warden” part of that theory. I agree that all the shady stuff with the prison forcing her to teach SpongeBob is much more likely to be some kind of delusion. I’m working on an updated compilation of my SB theories, and I've already recorded a whole new direction for the Mrs. Puff theory.

4:39 this WOULD make sense in our world... but for bikini bottom, littering is a huge charge and will always be, you gotta remember that stephen hillenburg hated sea trash, his biggest worry when spongebob was popular was that spongebob items, based something he created, would meet the same fate as other sea trash, its not unlikely that he wanted littering to be seen as a horrid act. TL;DR: in spongebob, littering is a constant huge crime over many episodes and isnt unique here

[@benjadryl_7393]

I knew that fact about hillenberg but never made the connection that that was why littering was treated that way in the show. Smart connection.

[@Roy.R.]

@@benjadryl_7393 I'm not the one who came up with this by the way, a youtuber did, the video was talking about the squidward death contraption (the spiked steamroller) and why it existed, he brought up the possibility of being a trash collection machine, I suggest watching it

I think Summer Job is real because No Free Rides makes it a point that it was in her head. Once she gets sent to solitary and snaps, she wakes up from a dream(?) a couple times so it's clear there that the episode didn't exist. Summer Job doesn't have such an ending or allusion, so I think it's meant to be taken as real (as real as an episodic show can get). As for the littering thing, that's been a fairly consistent thing in SpongeBob. Someone would explicitly litter and a cop will usually immediately be there to fine or arrest them. A misdemeanor for us that is punished far more harshly in Bikini Bottom

[@Paradox-es3bl]

A quick Google search indicates "a degree may not be required to become a prison warden" so I don't think you'd actually need to know the law for that job. Isn't it more of a managerial role? But sure, you could be a lawyer, then a warden.

If you knew the law you wouldn't be a cop you would be a lawyer

[@sideways_chip_eater6420]

@@cap8032 Im pretty sure you don't have to study or do any higher education to become a warden because the job of the warden is to just run the prison like how a manager runs a job or a principle runs the school, just make sure nobody dies or escapes and all the staff are doing their jobs and that's kind of it.

Having SpongeBob practice law without a law degree is also illegal. The shark in the photo could be related to Sargent Rodrick, since he was a shark who was in the military (And he also replaced Mrs. Puff as a substitute teacher!)

[@BrianIsTheGOAT594]

I watched the video, and I will say this. Instead of calling this debunking, maybe switch it to correcting Alex Bale's SpongeBob Mrs. Puff theory. You see, by calling it a debunk, it seems that you are debunking everything Alex has said in that video as wrong, even though you said towards the beginning that he was almost spot on, and it seems like it's discrediting it. I feel like that would be a better way to call that title, and maybe you could get Alex to do a retake of his past theories, and make more SpongeBob theories to.come, because they are actually well done.

[@crolithebard4964]

No, that character on-screen is Mr Fitz who is like the head of the driving instructor’s program. He fires Ms Puff that episode. The character who they hire to replace her is a character named Sergeant Rogers who (according to the SpongeBob wiki) is a goblin shark and not a pufferfish.

[@ShonaReneeMcAfee-McGee]

One question. You didn’t think about the option that the shark. Could’ve been a family member or the adopted son. Maybe she had a brother that was adopted or maybe she was adopted herself. There could be a lot of reasons the shark could be there.

I dont think that the warden is doing anything against Mrs puff cause he hates her, rather she is a criminal and he is supervising her and keeping her in line

I've always thought the Richerd part of the theory was a bit of a stretch, but at least this video can now inspire AlexBale to make a continuation. (:

[@fawkewe]

4:58 that could just be richard though. Infact gets past the fact the warden is female that episode. And Richard could’ve also very well been the lawyer that causes Mrs Puff to loose.

[@beyondborderfilms4352]

Im surprised alex bale didn’t went too much on her adultery and only brought it up and called her out on it for like 5 seconds. Definitely a missed opportunity to better see that it wasnt the warden causing her problems,but rather ms.puff ruined her own life through her cheating which has now come full circle to bite her with her having to deal with spongebob.

[@lucasmatthiessen1570]

Mr Puff is actually alive in the recent episode Historical History. So here’s my theory. It’s been said before that Mrs Puff changed her name. So I’m thinking that Mrs Puff married then divorced Mr Puff so that her name could be changed. That’s why she doesn’t like talking about him. That’s also why she doesn’t having a photo of him. Also, that scene from that episode that showed Mr Puff as a lamp is probably from the future. He was also in the movie in Shell City but the movie also taken place in the future.

Just a little fun fact: you don't need any law education to become a warden. It is recommended you have a entry level degree in criminal justice or a related field but it is not required. So yeah both being a lawyer and being a warden are both large jobs that would take a lot of time however one could be a warden while going to school to become a lawyer. Or go to school, become a lawyer, realize they hate it, then transition to being a warden with no extra training.
