[@Monomogames]

The problem is that I can’t give you a straightforward answer, because the sequels are pretty forgettable.

[@NashediWalterWhite]

​@@Monomogamesjust like what your parents said about u

[@Leftbear-cinema]

Yea sponge out of water is even crazier then the first but the one after that is honestly forgettable so PLEASE watch sponge out of water loll😂

[@LOH_BS]

yes they are good the next one is my favorite.

[@stevogamingth]

The 1st is the best The 2nd one is really good and the 3rd one was a cash grab and a waste of time but had really pretty animation

[@29AndreG]

Trivia: Originally, this movie was supposed to be the series finale of the show, but the show doing so well for the network, Nickelodeon wanted to keep making more episodes.

[@davidpothier6823]

So they pulled a Simpsons

[@dannydashtv9418]

I think a lot of people like to think that this movie takes place after the show no matter what, so when the show does eventually end this movie is still the very end

[@sbp1763]

Now that makes sense because the series never continues this ending which bugged me as a kid

truly one of the most legendary animated movies of all time, from all the memes, the songs, man does this bring back some memories !

[@ZaOnly420]

I remember waiting for this movie to release when I was a kid I was obsessed with SpongeBob I watched all the new episodes every week . So much nostalgia

This is by far the greatest movie based on a TV show ever. The timeless story, iconic characters, and banger songs, are all just amazing. And I love the message that it's okay to let your inner kid out sometimes. If the series had ended here, as planned, I'd have no complaints.

[@watershipup7101]

Agreed

[@JojosCrazyChannel]

I couldn't agree more!!

[@mbdg6810]

It does still end here canonically

[@Reelfilms1998]

@@mbdg6810no it canonically does not end here. Hillenburg wanted it to end here but it did not

[@pabloruiz6224]

One of the greatest movie based shows of all time, alongside with other movie based shows like Rugrats Movie, The Simpson’s movie, etc.

[@CiaoKnives]

Not only is the film great and charming, but the game is ICONIC. Spent so many hours playing it when I was a kid

[@mbdg6810]

I watched playthroughs of the game a lot before finally being able to play it many years later

[@Zathren]

I played Rehydrated! I beat the game in like 6 days 😅 I couldn't put it down basically! That's so rare for me but it was such a fun and engaging platformer. I didn't want to stop playing so, I actually beat it. 🤷🏻

[@nugget3687]

​@Zathren and the movie tie in game is essentially a sequel to battle for bikini bottom lol. Same studio, same devs, same gameplay

[@HonkHonkler]

Game(s) I know not all were great, but surprisingly most Nickelodeon full games were good. Fairy Odd Parents games are CLASSICS.

[@Antrod]

What's the name of the game you played?? I didn't know it existed and I want to play!

[@koko4620]

Can't even begin to express how hype this was as a young child

[@tracerjames51]

I love the shot at 32:22 because that means there’s actually a real goofy goober guitar out in the world somewhere

Genuinely one of the greatest animated films of all time.

[@ianwilly7118]

I agree

[@squydwardyourlordansavior9723]

I concur, Its up there

[@radioactive_baby]

Absolutely

[@MitchellFace]

Patrick’s little betting with Neptune is actually a fun little call back to an episode from the first season where him and Neptune keep butting heads and he keeps negotiating terribly.

[@nickpiccolo9106]

The energy of this movie is pretty much the same as the show. The writing of the movie and the show is very clever. I saw this with my friends in the theatre when it came out and we had the time of our lives.

[@user-ne4pm8cg3t]

God, such a wave of nostalgia with this one. And as a film student now, I’m slowly rediscovering just how funny and well written it is 😂

[@tobejaison9781]

Please, don't use God's name in vain!

[@jovankandola]

The first 3 seasons of the show are absolute comedic perfection

[@protog2663]

season 4 is underrated...

[@GhostKyng]

Interestingly: •This was Intended to be the series finale of SpongeBob SquarePants, but the show was renewed for a fourth season due to the film's success and the show's popularity. Further episodes were told to take place before the events of this movie. • This is the first time Karen is seen as a computer monitor on wheels. She was later shown like that in the television series after the film's release. • An 11-foot long David Hasselhoff figure was built so cameramen could film without straining the real Hasselhoff. • This was the last traditionally animated film from Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies until its successor, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015), which was released approximately 11 years later. • King Neptune's design is changed from that in Fools in April/Neptune's Spatula (2000). Instead of a more muscular body, Neptune is designed to look more like a king rather than a god. • Alec Baldwin took on the role of Dennis because his children are fans of the show. • When SpongeBob and Patrick are in the Nut Bar, there is a picture of Popeye, along with some panels from his comic, and what appears to be a panel from Muttz. • The bag of winds that Mindy gives to SpongeBob and Patrick (which they use later in the film) is a reference to the stories of Odysseus, from The Odyssey by Homer. In the story, Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag of winds to guide him and his crew home. • Scarlett Johansson accepted a role in the film as she's a big fan of cartoons, especially The Ren & Stimpy Show (1991). • The first time in the franchise where various characters use weapons to kill someone. • This is the Final Nickelodeon animated movie to be released on VHS.

[@lizardman7718]

24:06 SpongeBob was greatly inspired by an album by Ween called “The Mollusk,” which is very psychedelic. You can actually hear one of the songs off of that album (“Ocean Man”) at the end of the movie. So you weren’t too far off in your assessment.

[@zacharypadron783]

As someone who’s seen this movie literally over a hundred times and constantly watching it growing up as a kid, I kinda forget how absolutely random and wild and insane the story and comedy is in this movie 🤣 I’d definitely recommend checking out the first 3 seasons of the show (the fourth season has some really good ones too)

[@fanvcritic]

The first 3 seasons and this movie.. are INCREDIBLE COMEDY! For a kids show the humor while very slapstick is also very smart and surprisingly adult.

[@MariothePlumber529]

Its crazy how influential Spongebob was for so many teens for so many years, its amazing how many Spongebob references I hear on a daily basis even today

[@ianp1986]

I would 100% be on board to watch you 2 react to every SpongeBob episode 😂

SpongeBob movie sponge out of water is even crazier then the first😅

[@mattdoesntknowwhattodowith5760]

The second one is genuinely (mostly) hilarious

[@mimic1984]

Hilarious and definitely worth watching.

[@mr.moviemafia]

To me, the craziest thing about this movie is that Mötorhead, The Flaming Lips, The Shins, and Wilco all wrote original songs for this movie (they largely play during the credits) and Ween (a band so weird they actually inspired the creation of the show in the first place) has a song called “Ocean Man” that really skyrocketed into fame after this movie. The soundtrack is surprisingly fantastic! Greg will have heard Ween through the “Bizarro World” episodes of Superman & Lois, which is so fitting that a band as weird as them would be popular on a Bizarro Earth 😂

[@filmedbymanny1]

bro greg i never thought you would do movie reactions to old classic movies like these, you’re litteraly healing me and im so excited to see what youll react to next

[@cinematicgoodness7325]

I LOVE this movie. Ive seen it so many times that I practically know every line of dialogue front to back. I also grew up with the show, so that helps out a bit, but its genuinely one of my favorite films of all time, one of my favorite comedies of all time.

[@spikejr3113jr]

Fun fact, this movie was supposed to be the series finale of SpongeBob even the creator still thought of it (before he passed away) as the finale, even if it wasn’t the last thing SpongeBob made. Which is why SpongeBob in the show isn’t manager of the Krusty Krab two because this is the end. Yes the show is a trip like this movie.

[@TALEOFA]

Ahhh okay so this is the end and show will get there eventually

[@loganbigmo]

Nah. That might've been the intention, but the creator's died & Nickelodeon goes against his wishes. Even before he died, when this movie came out & Nickelodeon said the show would get more episodes, the creator stepped down from the show in protest. @@TALEOFA

[@sketchycat6223]

Literally I still cry laughing to this movie even years later, it’s so hilarious and also heartwarming

I have fond memories of watching this as a kid. The humor still holds up; it works as a stand alone and so many memes came out of this movie !

[@Kevmaster2000]

I love SpongeBob! Grew up watching it, and still do. I was born in 1999, the year the show premiered, and it’s still going to this day. Reruns on all the time, and new episodes periodically.

[@brigittegill808]

Its fun watching people react who dont have the emotional attachment formed from watching the show as a child. Whenever I rewatch this movie, a warm, loving feeling of nostalgia of a simpler time hits me without fail. I also get so involved during a rewatch, like I'm 8 years old again and not in my late 20's.

[@thenerdywave2007]

So happy that Greg and Tara are reacting to this movie! This movie was fun! 👍

I had the soundtrack CD and bonus tracks for this movie! I remember Goofy Goober Under My Rock My Tighty Whiteys Where's Gary Now That We're Men Man I had a mini karaoke machine I used to use with my sister...ahhh memories!

[@KOOLICIOUSFACECARD]

It would be so cool if y'all reacted to Spongebob on this channel, I know there's a lot of seasons so you probably don't want to do the entire thing, but it could be like a once in a while type deal, or maybe you only do seasons 1-5 or something, it just would be cool lol

[@anthonyjimenez5270]

Fun Fact: To shoot the live-action scene of SpongeBob and Patrick fighting Dennis on top of Hasselhoff's body, a 12-foot replica of his body was built. At the end of production, Hasselhoff took his model and took it home. He nearly auctioned some years ago, but he declined in the end.

[@adi_movic]

Unironically one of the best movies ever made. Movies based on TV shows often have the problem that they either feel like a 2 hours long episode or that they have an unnecessary big story that doesn't fit the show. This movie accomplishes to capture the show's essence while also being worthy to the big screen with its wild energy and stakes that are dramatic in their own way and that fit the show (instead of being about the world's end or something like that). This movie is so hilarious, lighthearted, uplifting and emotionally sweet and it truly has a unique energy that I haven't been able to find again since, but the closest that got to it was actually the Barbie movie this year. So if you have a movie that is similar to the Spongebob Squarepants Movie or Barbie, please tell me 🙏

[@Marshimized]

i used to watch this movie to fall asleep to most nights when i was a kid, at one point i could recite the entire movie line-by-line. watching this reaction brought back so many memories

[@cinemafan007]

I love this movie so much! It’s one of my favorite animated films of all time. This was also the first movie I ever saw in theaters when I was 5 years old.

i havent watched this movie in like 10 years, but as soon as i played this video i was quoting along with every moment its such a classic

[@frankgunner8967]

I have 3 boys when they were growing up Spongebob was always on the TV i must admit some of the story's are hilarious, I personally thank this show it kept my kids quite and out of trouble for hours lol.

[@OmegaFalcon]

This is still one of the most solid movies I've ever watched

[@The_Phantasm]

I absolutely love this movie since I was a kid and admittedly I was a bit surprised you didn't love it but it definitely has to do with this being your introduction to SpongeBob. I don't think I would recommend people start with this movie if they have no prior knowledge of SpongeBob but then again I've never really had to because I don't think I've ever met anyone who hasn't any SpongeBob in their lives.

[@WorsePoke]

The show is ***24*** years old. It's the longest running cartoon ever, and it DESERVES that place. The First 4 Seasons were PERFECTION, then this Movie came out and it was supposed to be the end of the show, but it was a total blockbuster it led to Season 5 and now we are on Season 14 or so, with 2 more movies (not as good) and SpongeBob is still one of the biggest characters ever of TV.

[@mimic1984]

This right here was the very first movie I've ever seen in theaters!

[@Ay3shizzle]

Loved your guys’ reaction to this. This movie is awesome and it’s one of my favorite childhood movies to this day. Never gets old and the guitar scene was straight up epic. Stephen Hillenburg definitely nailed directing this movie.

[@redlobsterhobo4972]

People say when you’re a kid you’re a Spongebob, but when you grow up you become a Squidward. It’s often said that their dynamic is the best part of the show.

[@Thee_Death_Incarnate]

I would love to see your reactions to the first 3 Seasons of the show. It's rare to see someone who hasn't and the first 3 Seasons were originally supposed to be the canon amount of episodes then the Movie as a Finale. The episodes are only about 11 minutes long

Oh my god, I forgot how much I used to watch this as a kid. Rewatching now it holds up pretty well!

The earlier seasons (1-3) of the show have some of the best episodes in any cartoon I’ve seen. You’ll enjoy watching them if you enjoyed the movie

[@JustGavinBennett]

From 2004 till now I still hear references and make references from SpongeBob and specifically this movie a lot. Also the movie follows parts of The Odyssey from Greek Mythology from the bag of winds to the cyclops, but told in a different way lmao

Lolol I was not expecting this reaction but it was fun! Hope you guys do an episode 1 reaction. I was a huge SpongeBob fan when it came out, I was maybe a sophomore in high school when it came out. It’s just a fun, goofy watch and you’ll get a chance to see more of squidward.

I just have to say that SpongeBob was my favorite show as a kid. My mom actually hated how much I used to watch it when I was younger lol. I had this movie on REPEAT, especially that ending, "I'M A GOOFY GOOBER, ROCK!!" this was very nostalgic to watch and yes, I was very oblivious to all the adult humor in it at the age I watched it so I never thought of how it looked like a show that people on drugs would watch which I can definitely see now lmao.

Only last month did I find out about the Hasselhoff "Big Dave" statue being a thing. It's 14 feet in length, really creepy in the face, but sold at auction in 2021 for charity (I think). For the Patty Wagon though ~ countless people have made their own replicas over the year and it's just nuts knowing people want one so bad. Last video I watched of one was of a guy making one for his best friend and drove it across states to deliver it personally as a surprise... after a few breakdowns, but hey, it worked.

[@elreydelmundo1343]

I really get a kick out of the fact that all of us in our 30s and still make Spongebob references and enjoy the movies.
