I like how the point of "Ripped Pants" episode from season 1 is teaching us that repeating the same thing for the sake of being funny over and over makes it unfunny and annoying yet it seems like that's what modern Spongebob is. Also to talk about Patrick, one thing that made him a great character in season 1 and 2 was how it almost looked like he was putting a persona of him being stupid just to look like an asshole. He even asks Spongebob when he wakes up is it time to ruing Squidward's day already in the episode "Home Sweet Pineapple"

[@Du-yw1pz]

right exactly. When in reality it was visibly shown that Patrick was mariginally intelligent, chill, laid-back and was also good at coaching to. Given how did help Spongebob with his table manners when Spongebob was gonna visit Sandy in the episode where he first met her and how he motivated Spongebob to get his job in the first place

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.

[@scoobydoo5934]

I’m so glad you mentioned how overly expressive modern spongebob is. In old spongebob, every time we got a funny new expression, it was like a little treat because it was done so sparingly. I feel like that’s a part of why so many of those expressions are seen in memes 20 years later, because they were so unique that we could still remember them even after all this time

[@jaxsterminator8634]

[@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]

@@tjh6678 There was a lot of snap to Looney Tunes cartoons. A great example would be The Dover Boys where the poses seemed to snap in place. Gave it the comedy a lot of punch. Now (at least in SpongeBob's case) it's flows from point a to point b with no breaks.

[@willian2848]

The new wacky Spongebob makes me irritated. Seriously, it's TOO annoying.

[@StarMechV]

Glad to see LS Mark hitting the nail on the head of why I didn't like Kamp Koral. The reason why "Kid Spinoffs" are usually made it's because executives sometimes feel like the original characters are too old for the demographic that they want to appeal to, and so think that making the characters younger will make them more relatable while also giving them more "freedom" to do activities adults no longer do but kids do. But Spongebob as a character was created in a very smart way that made that issue a non-problem, because his child-like innocence made up for his neublous adult age, allowing him to adapt to any kind of scenario with easy. If a episode calls for Spongebob to act like a kid, he can do that because of his overall childish attitude; If the episode calls for something more related to adult things like getting your drivers license or working at a job? Spongebob would still adapt to that environment while still being appealing to all-ages. "Spongebob goes to a Summer Camp" could have easily happened in the regular shows regardless of his age because that's how easy Spongebob as an archetype can adapt to a story. Ironically, I'd say Kamp Koral actually LIMITS what Spongebob can do, because by locking him at a certain age, they basically restrict things that kid Spongebob can do that adult Spongebob could always do, despite the fact adult Spongebob could do anything kid spongebob could do as well. If I had been put to make Kamp Koral, I'd probably have made it about Spongebob being a camp counselor and the shenanigans that'd ensue by having someone like him run a camp. His childish mind would still allow him to do kids stuff but also the new role and setting could have opened the doors for new characters (whatever they'd have been better written or not) and unique situations that the regular show wouldn't be able to fully do. and even THEN, this idea I had, while better, could have easily been done as a regular episode anyways...

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

I agree, however the youngest member of Gen Z was born in 2012 and is 10 years old now, so I doubt even the youngest member of Gen Z is going to grow up with a show meant for little kids. However, the next generation of kids born after the early 2010’s, which is supposedly called “Generation Alpha”, are the ones who may grow up with this show. 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.

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.

Let's all get real. If they made Squidward somewhat of a happy person and slowly over the progression of time having to deal with SpongeBob and Patrick all the camp season and that's why he hates them that would've actually been a good plot point (I don't think Squidward would be rude towards everyone that might be because of something else and not SpongeBob and Patrick.)

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.

[@albertscountry7271]

Interesting thing about the point from 20:54. Kamp Koral is getting two new writers, one having previously written for Season 4 of the original show and the other having worked on Phineas and Ferb. As for The Patrick Star Show, that has a new showrunner at the helm who has experience on Looney Tunes related shows and is bringing on new people as full on storyboard directors.

11:56 It’s probably because the shading seems to be direct illumination, which is generally efficient with its light calculations. It’s not very demanding, but it can look like shit if not used right. I think something that can help is using global illumination instead, if you use it correctly, it can make your 3D scenes look a hell of a lot better than this!

Speaking of Patrick's flanderization, I'm surprised no one brought up the fact that, in the later seasons, the writers basically turned him into an animal. There's an episode in Season 13 (Pat the Dog) where he's written like a dog (or worm in this universe) and SpongeBob and Squidward have to train him.

I think we can safely boil down all of the postmodern SpongeBob efforts as best described from the episode, Chocolate with Nuts, "you just can't wait for me to die can't you?"

11:05 I see what you mean with the night scenes looking best. The Jellyfish Field clips you showed on the other hand look completely empty and lifeless with no light or shadow sources and no background elements at all. The ground even looks like the generic Microsoft Windows home-screen.

Your final point about the animation changes really resonates now that I have a kid that watches spongebob. You can really see the difference of how older characters were more rigid and movements were planned where as the new stuff all the characters are squishy and just seem to randomly do whatever they want

[@TempestTemple]

I'm glad someone else finally mentioned new SpongeBob's expressions. Yes the old seasons had over the top expressions but the new ones just feel like they're trying too hard.

[@Du-yw1pz]

mostly to get meme fuel

[@jaxsterminator8634]

THEY DONT NEED TO TRY TO BE FUNNY IDIOT THE EXPRESSIONS ARE HILARIOUS

[@brendanblair64]

I appreciate the part where you talk about the new animation style and how it is impressive, but it's still too much. I absolutely hate how often this opinion is disregarded. It's one of the things that really turned me off from the new episodes, and I really don't appreciate people acting like it's somehow unfair or wrong that I feel this way.

THE ANIMATION STYLE ISNT TOO MUCH ITS TOO LITTLE

Nick cancelling the squidward spinoff was the worst crime committed in all of history

There wasn't a Squidward spinoff planned, it was a rumor.

[@thedeadlysquidward1641]

@@ProGremlinPlayer I always wanted that even before they made spinoffs

Wasn’t Squidwards spin-off the fortune telling one

That character he said was ugly to look at around 8:36 actually first appeared in a season 11 episode titled "Moving Bubble Bass" from 2018.

Even when Kamp Koral has in the intro "Created by STEPHEN HILLENBURG", it makes me think that Nickelodeon wanted us to believe that it was his idea to make the spinoff just to forget what he said about spinoffs or it's true which I see very much impossible

[@SteamingHillenturds]

Well of course It's created by me. What do you think?

The way you describe Patrick show in here reminds me a lot of Uncle Granpa

[@CAMSLAYER13]

Uncle grandpa was more coherent

Spongebob at 10:55 looks like he’s made of Rubber

[@hoagieland3716]

17:13 Finally someone directly points out how Patrick used to be in the older seasons of SpongeBob and how SpongeBob actually looked up to Patrick for advice. The comedy was that we knew Patrick was dumb and his idea was ridiculous, but SpongeBob didn’t and trusted his ideas. The only character who would ever call out Patrick was Squidward, which made their interaction unique. Nowadays, everyone calls Patrick dumb and their entire relationship with Squidward is just they annoy him

1:07 dude even freaking predicted it
