The Mollusk (A Tribute to Stephen Hillenburg)

[@nonpost]

if any of you haven't listened to The Mollusk in its entirety, I highly recommend you do; the whole album is gold.

[@Bingus90]

can confirm it's my favorite album by ween

[@ThePlasmicAlchemist]

And always remember: if nautical nonsense is something that you wish, go out at sea, look for the 3 trees, and you may just find a pineapple sitting under the sea...

[@marcus4989]

Pretty sure those are three trees, not two

"Mind your wandering eye, you little mollusk" HOW DID I NOT REMEMBER THAT LINE?!?!?!

"It was his show, Mr. Krabs! He was number one!"

[@DeathGamer-8200]

Despite how much of a monster we turn SpongeBob into, he's still the lovable sponge we know. This even applies to his friends: Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Mr.Krabs, and more. And there's a certain someone we can thank for making them the lovable characters they are, even if we make them into monsters, sexualize them, or anything else that changes what they're supposed to be. Thank you Stephen, for making the best characters to ever be seen...... ....on TV.

even if you’ve never listened to ween’s music before, i still humbly encourage you to listen to this entire album. it’s more than “the album that inspired spongebob” or “the album with ocean man”. legit EVERY song on the album is a banger. “the golden eel” is a personal favorite of mine. one of my top favorite albums of all time. and rip stephen hillenburg, can’t believe how far time flies, it’s been nearly half a decade since we lost him ;;

[@TAPE_W0RM]

legit Quebec is my second favorite album next to The Mollusk, those two are like the definitive Ween albums imo

[@jeremykrane4855]

@@TAPE_W0RM AAAA i love quebec!! that's a great one too.

[@nonpost]

The Mollusk and Quebec are probably two of the greatest alt-rock albums ever made. i don't think any other band could pull off something like buckingham green, ocean man, and she wanted to leave; three completely different songs all complementing each other, ending with such a good closer. both albums got slept on *way* too hard.

[@PearangeProductions]

"WE'LL BE RIGHT..." "ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW WHAT?" "THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO DO." "FOR THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE QUALITY OF HIS SHOW TO THE GRAVE." "STEPHEN HILLENBURG, THIS IS FOR YOU." "YOU WERE #1." "- V.A.L."

[@buecomet831]

V.A.L knows that Stephen Hillenburg meant everything to us, including her. She has a heart inside of her.

[@Ryocryte]

I really hope that before he passed, he knew that he had a massive, profound positive effect on an entire generation of people.

[@cheetosugar695]

I don’t know why, but the song combined with the empty backdrops makes me feel so very sad. I know part of it is the context (RIP Stephen), but even without it, it still kinda hurts.

[@clutterbug138]

idk how im just finding this video now but good lord. made me cry for the first time in weeks. spongebob & ween both hold an extremely special place in my heart for very personal reasons and this video waltzed right on into that special place. spongebob has gotten me thru some of the worst moments of my life, and the mollusk has recently become a sort of comfort album for me. all i can rlly say is thank u for making this video, i wish i had found it sooner but im glad i did at all :•)

[@TAPE_W0RM]

Reading this made my day :)) I'm so glad, I was worried it was gonna come across as corny when I initially made it but, I'm so glad it's enough to make ppl feel sentimental. SpongeBob has had a huge impact on me growing up and Stephen Hillenberg was an idol to me, and always will be. Ween also had a huge impact on me during some rough times in life. I'm just glad I'm able to do them all justice collectively :)) it's all I want.

[@oblivionaccess]

@@TAPE_W0RM its def not corny at all it made me tear up a bit ngl what a great tribute

[@surfsuptofino]

I come back here occasionally to watch the video that got me into WEEN. Genuine exceptional stuff, broski. Also for anyone who hasn't listened to WEEN, Check out Quebec, The Mollusk and The Pod.

[@Poyostar]

Beautiful. Just... beautiful. Thanks for everything, Stephen Hillenburg.

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

VAL = Vibrant, Amazing & Legendary. The only 3 words to describe this video, which is the complete opposite of what is usually posted on this channel.

[@FarfromTile]

I don't comment often but I just wanted to say that you did a very good job on this. SpongeBob is a very dear show in my heart and this tribute is everything I could have ever asked to honour the impact it had on me and millions of other people. It's been a long while since something related to this show has made me this emotional, and I thought I'd commend you for that.

Thank you Val for giving Hillenburg a proper tribute.

[@Solongsocialmedia]

Gee. So nostalgic. Amazing to know that even V.A.L. Pays respects to stephen Hillenburg. I wonder if VAL would ever develop feelings? I know she became sentient.

[@waddafugg3072]

awesome video! the mollusk is such a great song and pairs really nicely with the more relaxed feeling of the early spongebob episodes

[@LevDarratOliveInducedPhsycosi]

I want to say, thank you fore this amazing video. The editing is PERFECT you understand the vibe completely. Props to you the nostalgia is worth more than a Mollesk

this is genuinely my favorite youtube video ever. Thank you Mr Hillenburg.
