The SpongeBob Mayonnaise Theory

Today we're answering the biggest question in SpongeBob history, "Is mayonnaise an instrument?"

[@AlexBaleFilms]

Plankton also asked "Do instruments of torture count?" Maybe Patrick was really asking if Mayo was an instrument of torture. In S8 Planet of the Jellyfish mayonnaise is used as a weapon to kill all the alien jellyfish. Did Patrick know?

[@spyro2002]

What? THE spongebob guy is here? I am honored.

[@nickronca1562]

I wouldn't be surprised if Patrick knew considering The Theorizer's theory that Patrick has hundreds of split personalities in his brain and is aware of the true nature of his reality. I know you went in a different direction and said that Patrick is actually a robot and stuff, but bogh theories about Patrick makes sense to me.

WOOOW! That’s deeeep😂 Do your own mayonnaise theory please! Would love to see your perspective and what other dots you can connect because based off this comment alone🔥

[@federtm2]

That's precisely what a guy called "mustard" would say

[@cottoncandydaydream]

And if mustard can be pregnant, than mayonaise can be an instrument!

[@imaneferricha]

​@@cottoncandydaydream yes !

[@pianissimo5951]

this is if overthinking was a video

[@bluestar_kun]

I still remember in 8th grade band when another kid asked our band teacher, Mr. Dickinson, if mayonnaise was an instrument. The immediate response was "If you can make it vibrate". never letting that memory go

[@BinglesP]

That's true, that's fundamentally how instruments work. Fun fact: Mayonnaise is one of the selectable instruments in the official SpongeBob SquarePants Minecraft world, and they show exactly that. Whenever your character hold-presses/clicks with it equipped, it plays an animation in both 1st and 3rd -person where they physically shake the jar to make vibrations out of it. So, yeah, that's one way you could play it.

[@BungieStudios]

I can... Make mayonnaise... Vibrate. 🤓

[@link7417]

@@BinglesP technically everything can vibrate and everything do technically vibrate fundamentally, what we persive as heat is technically vibrations of atoms lol,

[@rndmprsn3970]

“Befuddling inquiry” “enigmatic enigma” “transcendental nature”

[@pikawesome1]

I'd say yeah, technically anything that makes sound can be used as an instrument so it would be like a drum.

[@jamesru1]

Or a squishy sound if you squeeze your hand in it

[@shoogamoogaman]

Are you saying... everything's a drum?

2024: rocking to phonk The hell is that noise!?!? -2008

[@thedrizzlebaby]

One good take my mom helped me realize is that maybe Patrick was confusing condiment with instrument. It's a dry take but I took my mom she may have solved what was going on with the writers that day 😂

[@planetcheese]

Fun fact, in the French version of the episode, Squidward's reply is something along the lines of "no, Patrick, I'm pretty sure that's a condiment", so I'm pretty sure this is accurate

[@thedrizzlebaby]

@@planetcheese That's actually so awesome, I had no idea great find dude

[@4fingersnix]

This was always my take on it too.

[@iLikePlanez]

Patrick is very much ahead of our time. He will grow up to be so brilliant nobody understands him

[@DillyzThe1]

tbf, i've literally used a battle for bikini bottom rehydrated steam case as PERCUSSION and nobody noticed.... so mayonnaise can be an instrument. (i specifically used it as a bunch of toms)

[@benim1359]

Watching this at 2 a.m. while tripping on shrooms is a whole other level. Was eating an egg with mayonnaise. After this episode i analyzes the mayo for about 30 minutes.

[@Mixed_Activist]

Technically, yes you can make music with anything if u really wanna think bout it. U just need to hit it with a beat or throw the contents to a beat or blow the empty jar etc. For example, I can play the spoons. Edit: nailed it! Got the theory correct!

[@the_zara_moon]

Quick question, why does it take him 3 days to make potato salad?

[@anthonythechicken3699]

Because Bikini bottom has no potatoes, so all the scientists had to spend three days genetically modifying coral in order to create a potato-like substance.

[@musicwiggle22]

You just gaslit me into thinking mayo is an instrument

[@jeramyhernandez7648]

3:11 why does bro stick his whole hand in the jar of mayo

[@ArtistUnknownOfficial]

It's worth noting that the definition of "instrument" can be used in other contexts. Oxford's first definition is "a tool or implement, especially one for delicate or scientific work"...could be a head-nod to the theory of patrick being an actual genius in the past. He taught spongebob to drive a boat with no experience. If only he had kept on the supposed "brain coral" for a head! He would be a national hero.

[@cooldoberman2024]

who gave squidward a car?

[@Itskaidaorangeguy2017]

Hey, remember that SpongeBob’s body became music? That supports this.

[@NekoChanSenpai]

If I may nitpick, Patrick did not ask if the JAR was an instrument, but if MAYONNAISE is an instrument. And to that I say, how do you play the mayonnaise?

[@dafilmqueen556]

Maybe you splat your hand onto it like you would a slimy putty toy and just continuously play it like dough in rhythmic pattern.

[@Xzbm50]

Spongebob:says a word in the first around 6 seasons. Spongebob theorists: OMG THIS MEANS SPONGEBOB HAS A SAD BACKSTORY AND WENT TO JAIL.

Pioneer? according to the show's definition of Pioneer, Pioneer rode massive sea rocks across the vast under sea basin of the kelp reefs, who else is known to use such a similar form of geological formations as their own abode?? coincidence?? I think not! As seem in the Star family tree, Patrick Star was literally related to royalty, heck one could say that Patrick Star comes from the pioneer lineage that founded Bikini bottom. thank you for comming to Tonight's ted talk.

[@professorhaystacks6606]

In Spongebob Docupants (which is a great series by the way), a pseudo-documentary of various episodes as if they were real, one of those 'interviewed' says Squidward was so old-school he didn't even consider mayonaise to be an instrument.

[@crystalclearthoughts693]

Remember when squidwards “ghost” told SpongeBob to play a song with a tissue
