Spongebob Squarepants: Skin Theory

One day when I was watching Spongebob, I noticed something bizarre. This thing was so bizarre that I decided to spend months analyzing every single episode of Spongebob Squarepants in search of answers.
What I ended up finding was a completely original and impossibly well-supported conspiracy theory that will destroy everything we have ever been told about Bikini Bottom.
The world needs to know the truth. This is the video that will change everything.
Watch at your own risk.
This video was created for commentary/analysis and to generate discussion through the presentation of research, protected under fair use.

Something to add to this video (if it matters), there's an episode of spongebob towards the later seasons that I remember made my head spin where, at the end of the episode Plankton gets the krabby patty secret formula and exclaims "I always win!" and spongebob corrects him "No plankton you always lose." Then Plankton reveals he's not Plankton, but Mr Krabs. And Plankton was Mr Krabs in a robotic suit, but it wasn't the robot krabs, it looked and sounded exactly like Mr Krabs. Then Squidward reveals he was like, Patrick or something and the rest of the episode everyone tearing off their skin and revealing that they're other characters, including Sandy and even a background character/minor character at one point. Strange part is, we never learn who or what is underneath all of the fake skins. The episode ends with them all tearing off skins over and over and just, zooms and fades out while it continues. That's what confused me as a kid. Who was truly under all of the skins? Was Spongebob even in the episode? And if that was possible, who's to say spongebob is really in any of the episodes? Who's to say any of these characters are actually people in Bikini Bottom? Who's to say anyone in Bikini Bottom is a person with a life and family? How does anybody in this world ever start a life knowing that anyone could be anyone else underneath infinite layers of skins and voices?

Anyone remember when sandy took off her fur and hung it up and plankton stole it and used it as an actual skinsuit and it looked fucking terrifying? All so he could pretend to be her and steal the formula? Like they even had her hollow eyes and sagging empty mouth. Also “I’ve come for your pickle” is hilarious. I’m glad they added that.

[@yeetusfeetus3059]

@@toastice2465 IIRC, Krabs constantly scams Spongebob out of money, I don't think he has enough money for full body suits. Patrick is not even shown to have a job, that I know of anyways, but he has enough money for a gorilla suit. Plankton is actually pretty intelligent, being a business owner, and a mad scientist. If making suits of people is common, I'm sure he could have done it. He just sucks at cooking. Honestly, there are a lot of weird jokes in Spongebob and other cartoons that are repeated often, Skin Theory is nothing more than a complete overthinking of a dumb repeating visual gag in a cartoon kid's show. It's not a very solid theory, the whole thing comes apart once you think about it for more than 1 millisecond.

[@chocov5183]

​@@yeetusfeetus3059That doesn't disprove the theory that there's a store full of costumes at all. Whether you hate or love this video, there's no or little correlation. Maybe they just didn't have Sandy's skin or skin of the main cast or other various possibilities. At the end of the day I know you're just a contrarian troll and this video is a joke.

[@yeetusfeetus3059]

@@chocov5183 If there were stores full of other people's skins, why has Plankton, AFAIK, NEVER used one?

there are literally two neptunes and a Poseidon. Series Neptune who is a god, same as poseidon, and 1st Movie Neptune who is a king. This is due to the movie holding rights that Nick didn't have for a long time, but those are two separated characters with two different families and roles and hinted to have some kind of feud that should be shown soon. But yeah, they pretty much are gods in bikini bottom

This theory is fascinating on so many levels! I think the nuclear radiation theory is very possible considering Bikini Bottom is literally a reference to Bikini Bottom Atoll which is known for testing nuclear warheads. Also Goo Lagoon could technically exist as there are undersea lakes/oceans, but nothing that enters would survive (only extremophiles are the exceptions) because of the immense pressure and high salinity levels. My mind was blown looking back at all my favorite episodes and just realizing the ridiculous number of costume related shenanigans that I just totally ignored. Thank you for discussing this! I think one possible reason to support the humans in costume theory is because Hillenburg loved the ocean and we've been doing a poor job of keeping it clean. Having people pretend to be fish would make perfect sense if alluding to a future where all marine life is dead either from nuclear bombs, pollution, or climate change. The level of satire for something so apocalyptic is stunning.

[@AustinGrade-yt6ht]

Thats actually a sub theory in itself lol that due to nuclear bombs pollution etc humanity would wear fish suits to live underwater as like above ground like having the suits gives humans the ability to breath under water and create gravity. That would make sense to counter some of his points cause steven hillenburg created the show to hopefully make people have respect for the waters and not have it filled with garbage. Cause if the waters is filled with garbage and the ground is unlivable living underwater isn't a option for humanity's survival

The whole horse VA thing falls apart once you realize that the horse is the same VA for Klaus, yes... But American Dad had not even aired in 2003, the year the episode was aired (Although "I Had an Accident" apparently aired in Canada in 2002) American Dad did not air until 2005.

[@edenhammond5225]

[@sarvukruv2137]

An interesting thing that I’d like to add is if this were to be thought of alongside the nuclear radiation theory, it should be noted that skin peeling off and completely falling off the bone is actually a symptom of severe radiation poisoning. In that sense, the normalization of skin suits could have just been the result of mass skin graftings, and the suits themselves ripping could either be due to said radiation or a failure to replace the damaged skin. It would also explain the multi-layered skin suits, as the rate of failure for the graftings would evidently be high. There are some inconsistencies with this idea of mine, such as the fact that such an extreme level of radiation would logically just outright kill everyone who was affected, and that it doesn’t explain some of the more obscure instances like the gorilla in the Patrick suit. However, I thought this was a neat concept, so I thought I should share it.
