I've said this once and I'll say it again, The Patrick Star Show should've done like a late night talkshow-esque theme and have Patrick talk with various SpongeBob characters & wacky antics ensue, an even wilder concept for this idea is other Nicktoons both old and new just show up and it just goes from there and have some intertwined skits between the interviews, could've been fun like a Eric Andre Show but for kids going on for the show but instead we got that.....

The thing about Patrick, and Cosmo too since they play similar roles, is that they weren’t too stupid to function. When they explained things, even if they were wrong, you could understand how they got to that point.for an example, in the second episode Patrick tells spongebob that sandy is “fancy” and that he needed to put his pinky up, which btw is technically true, but he wasn’t a moron, just didn’t give the best advice, but he was always well meaning Abd had a reasonable logic to his decisions

About Kamp Koral? Fans went into outrage when Sandy appeared in the show that it "breaks the timeline". In response to that one episode, Kamp Koral takes place in the alternate universe. It's funny that this isn't the first time that Spongebob "broke the timeline" considering there's an episode where Spongebob built a Stonehenge to distract the jellyfish and got stuck at the post-apocalyptic world. We never get the answer what happened to Spongebob after that. Negative continuity in cartoons is nothing new. "Nautical nonsense" is the point of the show.

[@gulorful8488]

I'm really happy you addressed how annoyingly expressive SpongeBob is now. While yes SpongeBob did have wacky expressions, it wasn't ALL the time. It made the faces and gags all the more memorable. I don't even think Looney Tunes went this far.

[@Tom-vg6td]

That was mostly the bob clampett toons

[@tjh6678]

Y'know, as a lifelong Looney Tunes enjoyer, I've noticed more & more that people consider the animation in those cartoons to be more rubbery/buckwild than they really are. Like the comment above said, only Bob Clampett's LT shorts are like that, & even those have some structure with how the characters move & are built, a method to the madness. Otherwise, the shorts by other directors (while still expressive & slapstick-heavy) were a fair bit more grounded.

[@Tom-vg6td]

Oh yes. Clampett's cartoons were always the most stretchy and slapsticky, like Draftee Daffy, Falling Hare, and Kitty Kornered. The recent reboot Looney Tunes Cartoons seems to fall alongside his formula.

[@gulorful8488]

I think the spinoffs coming right after Hillenberg's death was more bad timing than grave defiling. I really doubt that Hillenberg not wanting a spinoff of Nick's cash cow had any weight or say on what went down, assuming he didn't want them in the first place.

[@aerostrafe1075]

Personally I don't think he could of stopped spin offs if Nick wanted them. Their timing makes it come off as very grave defiling though. He did openly say he doesnt want spongebob to have spin offs and if it does then he would leave spongebob. The moment he "leaves" (rest his soul) Nick has multiple spin offs ready to go. Thats what really makes it suck. A spin off doesn't get the green light that fast yet they had more than one in just a few months. That is sus.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Yeah. The fans aren't doing any better either. I remember being upset about the Kamp Koral's announcement after the Superbowl 2019 with Sicko Mode being played instead of "Sweet Victory".

Sometimes, films and TV shows flop and cost more money than they make because no one wants to buy them when it does not give them what they wanted or hoped to get out of it. That is why Terminator: Dark Fate and Space Jam: A New Legacy failed so much. Who's to say Kamp Koral or the next three Spongebob Paramount+ movies or Fairly Odder will not be the next victim to crash into the category of failed attempts at soulless nostalgic cash-grabs? If making more and more money regardless of quality, or _attempting_ to do so, does not make the Kamp Koral jerks happy, *nothing will.* You have to draw the line somewhere. In the SB episode Selling Out, even the money-loving Mr. Krabs had to learn this when he made a big mistake selling out his Krusty Krab business, because they ruined how Krabby Patties were made and he bought it back for full price, even though they gave him the option to buy it back for half the price, because no amount of money was worth it to Mr. Krabs to just sell out for enough money to retire. My point is, no greedy business is too big to fail and making a weaker, watered-down Spongebob out of Kamp Koral does not necessarily equal more money from the same audience.

Hollywood should take some notes from Finding Dory. In this Spin-off of Finding Nemo, Dory was not just comedic. She had some goofy moments, but Nothing To The Extreme. She had a complex backstory where we get to learn about her parents and where she got her strengths like Speaking Whale, reading human text, and her "Just Keep Swimming" line. Plus, It was super heartwarming to see her reunite with her parents and to hear them tell her that regardless of her condition, Dory is capable of doing anything. Finding Dory gave the title character some depth, and I was capable of understanding and feeling for her as a result. Now I'm not saying that Patrick Star needs to be EXACTLY like Dory, but Besides being comedic, he should have more heart and soul put into his spin-off show, and not just focus on him being silly for the sake of it.

[@the_black_fox9136]

At this point, it's clear they're just trying to make Spongebob their Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny kinda mascot. Mickey Mouse is a blank slate.

That's kinda how I feel about modern SpongeBob in general. Mid season spongebob (Seasons 6-8) is mean spiritedly bad but the modern seasons (S9-12) are so fucking boring in general. To me at least, it just seems like the staff just doesn't care anymore about telling a coherent story with great character moments. I feel like all it's focused on now is just trying to get a cheap laugh of the audience (mainly from fetuses and embryos). It's just stupidity for the sake of stupidity. With Modern Simpsons, as awful as it is now. At least I can sense effort most of the time and some of the worst episodes of the show (Alone Again Natura-Diddly and Bart vs. Itchy & Scratchy) could work if written properly and executed with care. With SpongeBob, it's just not the case. SpongeBob used to be a more laid back, wholesome show but now it just seems to appeal to the ADHD viewers out there. To be fair, SpongeBob was never a deep show to begin with. However, thanks to the clever writing and phenomenal character moments. You were able to have relate to them and sympathize with them and have these episodes resolve themselves in a very satisfying way. Whether that would be SpongeBob (Pizza Delivery, Christmas Who, Patty Hype), Patrick (Big Pink Loser) and Squidward (Band Geeks). You're not going to get that very much in Seasons 4 onwards.

Yes. Have some fun with the material and characters without trying too hard to be its own thing. The original show would have "off model" episodes like krusty krab training video" and patchy-centred episodes with bizarre live-action scenes, that worked very well. They could have done well with a few miniseries' building on other aspects of the show, or showing alternative universes. Such as Patrick having a talk show or the characters being at summer camp. Maybe not the best idea, but the spinnoffs being more limited and taken less seriously might have worked better without the emphasis on them being their own thing.

I agree with this on so many levels. The original was okay as it is, but since Nickelodeon saw this as an opportunity, they just lap up all the content and make it a spin off, something the creator NEVER wanted.

They’ll also grow up with even worse/uncreative kid’s content on KZbin, which makes me sad because the kid shows I watched growing up (Thomas The Tank Engine, The Wiggles, The Teletubbies, Blue’s Clues, Elmo’s World, The Ruff Ruffman show, etc., plus Yo Gabba Gabba because my younger brother watched it) were full of creativity, charm, and experimentation. You don’t really see that as often anymore I feel like, since the most popular stuff for parents to show kids is things like Kid’s KZbin (blegh and ew), and shows like Paw Patrol (which I feel is less creative and charming than kids shows I watched). I’m not trying to be an old man shaking my fist at the youngins, but it just makes me sad that a lot of kids won’t grow up with the same awesome kids shows that I did, or shows like them.

It was addressed in a Twitter post by a crew member that Hillenburg was involved in the creation of Kamp Koral (around late 2018) before he passed away and before it was greenlit in 2019. So that kind of nullifies any misunderstandings related to that Paul Tibbit tweet. And frankly, I'm gonna have to agree with another comment on here stating that opinions aside, it was in the wrong for people to harass the workers on these spinoffs.

[@TheVillan58]

The biggest issue I have with the spin offs (other than them being utterly repulsive in every way imaginable), is the lack of continuity from the original series, especially with character relationships. Kamp Koral acts like Spongebob has ALWAYS known all of the people he regularly interacts with, when that’s not the case. In the original series Mr. Krabs meets Spongebob when he comes to the Krusty Krab and asks for a job, Squidward knows Spongebob because he’s Squid’s annoying neighbor, Sandy knows Spongebob because Spongebob met her when she was being attacked by the giant clam, The Flying Dutchman meets Spongebob after he drops an anchor through his house and Spongebob climbs up the rope from the anchor, Spongebob meets/finds out about Plankton when Mr. Krabs tells him about Plankton, etc. Spongebob is one of those shows that, while each episode has its own individual story, the whole world has a lore behind it that overlaps. It’s not a show like Family Guy that shirks on lore continuity for the sake of jokes, that’s been one of Family Guy’s things from the beginning, but Spongebob has always held a lore continuity. Kamp Koral throws every bit of that continuity out the window, and even The Patrick Star Show does with Patrick’s family.

Nowadays, everyone calls Patrick dumb and their entire relationship with Squidward is just they annoy him
