Exploring MORE of The SpongeBob SquarePants Iceberg

[@Willowposting]

Just wanna say thank you because Spongebob is one of the things that helps me when I'm struggling with my mental health (anxiety, tourettes and depression take a toll on the brain), and the original ice berg video was great. The feeling I get when consuming SpongeBob related content can only be described as warm and nostalgic. Enjoy this a lot, glad to know there are others as passionate about the small intricacies of this show like me.

7:16 Not only that but Jeff Bennett voiced half of the cast in Flapjack and in SpongeBob he plays several in two Season 9 episodes. (One episode has him voice Charlton Hawkfish, The Snorkel Vendor, and the latter having him voice a fancy fish, a fish in long pants, and an old fish.)

Can I just say this video warms my neurodivergent heart. I love the way you theme your iceberg video as you make each layer a deeper ecosystem that’s apart of the ocean. ❤

[@michaelbullen3104]

You could add another to this list as well. I know it sounds nuts… but there are actual drawings ON THE INTERNET that date around 1994 to 1995 of not particularly bob the sponge, but the EARLIEST known version of a modern Spongeboy/Spongebob drawn by Hillenburg himself supposedly when he was camping with his friends? This is when he first conceived the show. He was brainstorming ideas with them from what I remember, I saw them in an old article. They predate the famous spongeboy art, you can tall by the art style.These doodles are older than the one drawing everyone sites to be the first. Do a bit of digging and you WILL find these drawings. Edit. The article is called “The Billion Dollar Sketchbook”. And showcases a page of doodles from the E A R L I E S T possible conceptual stages of SpongeBob.

[@btanman]

I was a bit confused at first cause I've never heard of this, but I just finished the article. That was really good! I 100% see what you mean with the drawings, I can even spot some Ren and Stimpy in there as well. I'm surprised nobody has really talked about this at all. Thanks for bringing this up!

[@michaelbullen3104]

@@btanman Lol I saw them there in the corner too lol. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say I’m almost certain this is the earliest art Hillenburg ever made for the character solely because there are a lot of pictures of him in glasses for no real reason… Despite him rarely using his glasses in the actual show unless it’s for the off time he’s jellyfishing. Even having a set of round glasses in one sketch, as well as them looking even more primitive than the Spongeboy sketch. There also seems to be no Hillenburg SpongeBob art LESS detailed than this. These are evident of like, someone just conceptualizing a character for the first time and drawing little doodles of them to see what works. Possible future video topic…? This may be big…

[@cheechunlimited]

I really enjoy the little text interludes with nice chill music, it gives me adult swim vibes

Fun fact: Popsicles are actually named as such because it’s the equivalent of calling a can of soda a Coke. People use it as a generic term but it originated from the brand.

48:54 I could’ve SWORN I’ve seen this scene fully animated before, I have no idea where but I distinctly remember them meeting sandy on the surface, guys with suits find her, then she just runs off. No acorn launcher but I do remember patrick throwing up aswell. REALLY weird

[@Wippipippi]

Fully animated sequence doesn't exist, it's a false memory. You might be thinking of Sponge out of Water where Sandy does appear as a realistic squirrel on land but she's the size of a human.

[@rockyhorrorfreakshow5091]

i know this is late, but the SECOND spongebob movie uses the same joke

[@geeps]

i think its a deleted scene from the first spongebob movie. i remember seeing it as a storyboard on the dvd extras. i don't think it was ever fully animated.

fuzzy's belt was probably changed to black because black belts are masters. yellow belts are given to absolute beginners who are just starting out and they have to work their way through several colors before getting to black. I did some taekwondo when i was a kid and it was like that

[@lilypyrope4620]

could have added a line from SpongeBob pointing this out only for Sandy/Fuzzy to correct him, maybe. If they did end up going that route, of course

[@tylerb.gaming762]

29:10 I think this Patrick working for the chum bucket and his friendship with SpongeBob getting tested became the fry cook games Think about it

[@LasagaMan]

58:03 two clarifications, 1. it's the other way around (the older, unfinished version of the night of 100 frights intro video on the BFBB disc), and more importantly, the video of that became infamous likely came from a bad dump or video conversion of the file (the latter is what is stated by the only living upload of the video shown here), and The Cutting Room Floor has an entirely uncorrupted version of the intro (mainly done due to the file being played with proper video playing tools such as FFmpeg) as part of the original version BBFB's page where it is confirmed to be from the Xbox version.

[@btanman]

Thank you for the clarification! That entry really confused me lol

[@supersmilyface1]

I wish they still made the gumball-eyed Spongebob popsicles. I got a box of the redesigned ones. They're not as cursed, but the whites for the eyes go all the way through the popsicle so the back is a nearly featureless Spongebob staring into the abyss. Also, they do taste pretty good.

[@roxygaming5968]

Oh, hey, here's a fun thing about that Wyoming Incident gif: Brian Koch is a Nick employee, but he also did a bunch of work on Inanimate Insanity, which is one of the original big shows in the object show community. Wyoming Incident, SpongeBob and Inanimate Insanity in the same situation is nuts.

It would be so cool if some of those unused SpongeBob episode ideas would get later used in a future episode or something.

I feel like I should note in 2023 Popsicle (the company) changed the gumball eyes into chocolate candy eyes As for stealing art for some reason in the first episode of a show called the substitute Nickelodeon stole an edit of The Spongebob Movie poster from the Pooh's Adventure Wiki (how idk especially since it featured plenty of characters Nickelodeon definitely didnt have the rights to like Bullwinkle, Bowser Jr, and C3PO)

11:20 These are actually more of ice cream bars than popsicles, they're just made by Popsicle brand. Just like how we call flavored gelatin "Jello" even though that's the brand name and Jello makes other things besides geletin. Also those bars are still available, it's not too late. You can get them from ice cream trucks and some gas stations. It looks like even walmart has a simplified version of it now.

[@Johnwicklover1994]

24:18 oh hey i learned about this in a Quinton Reviews video! One of the most recognizable enemies in this game is Mr. Snuggles, a pink teddy bear who seems in no way inappropriate for a nickelodeon game. This is unless we use the free-look tool included with the dolphin emulator so that we can unlock the camera and get a closer look at Mr. Snuggles’ box. While the image here is actually oriented upside-down as they never expected anybody to actually see this, what it actually says is, “I’ll hug you and kill you. You’ll never sleep again. I’ll kill your parents.” Always fun knowing there’s all kinds of traumatizing stuff hidden just out of view in kids games.

[@generaledelogu1892]

Potential iceberg content - Don't know if this is the case with other DVDs or just mine, but on Disc 3 of the collection The First 100 Episodes (US region), the episode "Something Smells" (the one where Spongebob eats the sundae and Patrick convinces him he's ugly), in the scene where Spongebob first meets Patrick after eating the sundae, the audio where he and Patrick say "I just don't get it / I don't either" plays twice, once over the scene where he says hi to a building, and the second time where it's supposed to happen. It's really weird, and even weirder once I watched the episode online where the audio is correct. No idea what would cause this, and again, if it's an isolated case or if more of these DVDs have this quirk.

popsicle is the most popular brand of ice pops the same way that band-aid is the most popular brand of bandages. to the point where we call any ice pop a popsicle and any bandage a band-aid.

[@betsyrocketram]

something worth noting about the deliver us series that it simply put hasnt aged very well. to me at least. while it still has earie and existential moments a lot of the humor just ruins it for me. so much of it relies on shock and in a way which is genuinley kinda upsetting like when they showed actual graphic photos of the holocaust or edited over footage of a then recent case of vehicular manslaughter with spongebob and squidward driving a boat, its kinda gross, and sort of removes from the genuinley chilling and sureal atmosphere the rest of it managed to create.

[@btanman]

agree honestly, I really liked the intro / style of it being very abstract, but it has not aged well at all. It feels tasteless, which sucks cause as you said the surrealism is incredibly well done, but man some of the ideas and scenes just don't sit well in my opinion.

[@betsyrocketram]

@@btanman couldnt have said it better myself. deliver us when its good is so uniquely good and unsettling and fascinating, but its bogged down so much by its attempts at edgy humor. i really wish it didnt have it. its not even just that its offensive it actually takes me out of the atmosphere of the video.
