WHY SHOULD I CARE | Squid's Visit Vs Can You Spare A Dime | Versus | Alpha Jay Show [56]

Squid's Visit Vs Can You Spare A Dime Review! Nickelodeon released a great episode from season three called "Can You Spare A Dime" or lesser known "Squidward Quits His Job", while in season six, a HORRIBLE season, Nick aired "Squid's Visit". I chose these two for the versus because they both portray Squidward staying over at SpongeBob's house differently. I believe that Squidward in Can You Spare A Dime was justified and funny, where as in Squid's Visit, when Squidward was over at SpongeBob's house (which looked like Squidward's House), he was very scared, creeped out and just looking for his vacuum cleaner that SpongeBob STOLE. I tend to do a versus from time to time and this was a long time overdue. CHECK IT OUT!

SHOW SUMMARY
A square yellow sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, in the city of Bikini Bottom on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. During his time off, SpongeBob has a knack for attracting trouble with his starfish best friend, Patrick. Arrogant octopus Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob's neighbor, dislikes SpongeBob because of his childlike behavior.

TITLE SUMMARY
The title refers to the fact that in Squid's Visit, the episode spends all of the episode focusing on the vacuum cleaner, only to ditch it in the end.

[@matthewkellar9757]

You know what the writers don't think about in this season? They don't know what Spongebob WON'T do. Like the creators of Bugs bunny said, "Bugs isn't some crazed loony, he's somebody you understand what he must do in order to make it through these events." So, Chuck jones said he'll create scenarios where Bugs has to act in order to survive. What these guys don't understand is that these characters are still people to us. Chuck creates characters, while they just create a cartoon with no real understanding. That's why we hate these type of episodes because they made them completely heartless. Characters should never be one note because one detail won't fix an already broken episode. "Can you spare a dime" pulls this idea right, because, while Spongebob is annoying to some, he is a down right nice person, which is where the 'down fall' is understandable.

[@GeteMachine]

Can you spare a dime was very significant for me because it shows the most natural relationship between the characters that has been lost completely in later seasons. Its also one of the episodes where spongebob is 3 dimensional in his character, where he is nice, childish but mature enough to assert himself in a logical and reasonable matter without turning his character into the asshole but he isn't oblivious to when he is being exploited or has his valid limits. Its very rare that you can see episodes where both sides of the plot are empathize, and Season 3 often did it well. You always get better cartoons when characters are treated as people and not as walking gags 24-7. I like the episodes where Spongebob is actually intelligent enough to know when other characters are acting selfish or ignorant. In a parallel to when most characters see it in him in the same way. Thats why this felt so balanced. I hate the episodes where they make the characters oblivious to each other because it negates real chemistry and like the fairly odd parents (old seasons) the comedy came from chemistry not from forced gags or torture.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

+matthew Kellar I agree. I've learned something here. Thank you.

[@flowerbunny91]

@Lloyd. Man I wish you wrote for this show. This comment is spot on! I agree with everything. I miss when the characters weren't so one dimensional. Now they're oblivious. Other than the 'Dime' episode, "Krusty Love" is another great example where spongebob puts his foot down. Even some side characters did it. Such as "Opoosite Day" where the lady said "I wouldn't sell a house if you were the last Squidward on earth!"

I think one of the best jokes of them being underwater, was the episode where Sandy dared Spongebob and some others to go up on land, Mr Krabbs gave him a cup for some water, sponegbob swishes it and drinks the "Full" glass, but it looks empty because water won't look different being in a cup because there's already water in the cup

I used to really love how angry SpongeBob could get as it made him a more relatable and real character to me. Yet despite how annoyed he was, he still hadn't abandoned his initial goal to help Squidward and his anger was completely justified. This just goes to show the love and care put in by the writers' which I totally respect. With Squid's Visit, I actually love the idea. FOR A HORROR SHOW. Imagine that idea tackled in an episode of the Twilight Zone, it'd be awesome! Obviously though, SpongeBob and that idea were a complete mismatch. For the story to work, you have to make your hero of the show as creepy, unlikable and psychopathic as possible. It's not enjoyable to watch SpongeBob be degraded to a creep, when I used to be inspired by his positivity and good nature which used to be NOT scary. Seriously, they made having a good nature and being kind/naive seem very off-putting and disturbing. You do want us to like this character right?

I totally agree, SpongeBob is supposed to be a comedy show, not a show about literal main characters (aka, Squidward, Plankton, and/or Mr. Krabs in recent episodes) going insane or contemplating unaliving themselves.

[@DeerBonesBaby]

Not going to lie, but the shot that just revealed Spongebob and Squidward were talking on the phone, in front of open windows not even six feet apart got me to laugh. a tiny bit.

I miss old Spongebob, not just the writing, but the animation. Edit:I also miss the old sound effect, like when a character moves in the older seasons, there is a subtle efx of then moving underwater, it's a nice touch.

Facts

[@genericguy3444]

Mr Krabs could have not felt it due to sensory adaptation, like how you sometimes forget when you wear a watch on your wrist all day. If the dime was in his pocket for a long time, it's possible he could have gotten used to the feeling, and thus not notice it.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

+Generic Guy You're probably right. I mean that thing is archaic, he could have.

[@lordroy88]

Been there

[@Gibbypastrami]

or its just cuz krabs is molting and has less feeling in his arse plate

[@lepatate3457]

Plus the fact that you don’t expect it to be a giant stone wheel is funny

[@ghbetterthanrb648]

It's comedy. There's no reason for the dime to be huge other than the fact that you expected it not to be.

[@wohdasunleashed]

after a long ass time I realized what the joke was with the dime. it's not just he didn't feel it but it's one of those moments where someone "loses" something but it's in their hand or pocket etc. "where are my keys? I can't find it." *keys jiggling in their hands*. clever joke XD

LOL! That happened to me too, quite a few times! XD

[@EntityofDarkness696]

I just noticed something else, if you look at "Can you Spare a Dime?" you can see that a lot of the animation is really expressive. Characters and objects distort and small things happen to emphasize the emotions, and by extension, the situation. In "Squid's Visit", this is not the case, even in areas where it should be. Take the scene where Squidward is looking at the replicas of the self portraits, as he says the line "and they're all better than mine", imagine if his face was stretched so his mouth was smaller and his eyes were bigger. This would have emphasized the situation more and exaggerated Squidward's reaction. Essentially, a part of old SpongeBob's charm was also in the animation, which looks better in the newer seasons, but has become less expressive and by extension, less humourous.

[@MidnightUmbra]

You know, the thing I like about Can you spare a dime is SpongeBob actually stands up for himself while also helping Squidward, in Squids visit Squidward doesn't exactly stand up for himself with his tormentor

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

+TheMidnightUmbreon That's a very good point. Thank you for commenting.

[@michaellovely6601]

How could Squidward stand up to SpongeBob if SpongeBob is a sadistic sociopath who always manages to stay one step ahead of Squidward?

[@reesebynumgames5964]

SpongeBob only standed up for himself because he got sick and tired of Squidward bossing him around, asking for to many favors and being lazy and refuses to get an single job. In other Episodes, Spongebob wouldn't want Squidward to leave his home.

[@bsperoz]

I agree with you 100% on the way Spongebob is portrayed in the later seasons. As a kid, I found it _incredibly_ annoying and frustrating that in the later seasons, Spongebob is _constantly_ smiling like an idiot, even during moments where he shouldn't be.

In "can you spare a dime" SpongeBob actually got annoyed at squidward for being lazy and taking advantage of his hospitality.....

Wouldn't it be funnier to have Squidward say "I've never ever visited you." only to have SpongeBob say "Yes you have." and a short montage plays of the earlier episodes where Squidward has and then he just says "I've repressed those memories." It adds comedy, continuity and took me five secs to think up

Well, it's the logical magazine to be reading for him.

[@frankiewhite3682]

Too much realism is why I never liked King of the Hill it did nothing as a cartoon it couldn't do with real people. And so, yes to much realism in cartoons can be horrible.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

+Frankie White That's why I didn't like Yours Mine and Mine. It felt too realistic.

[@brokenquill9277]

And Hank was such an asshole to Bobby

[@gracytoyschultz4416]

I personally found king of the hill to be boring just cause of how it's too real and hardly to no jokes in the show.

[@sixty5notch796]

I love how even though spongebob is patient and kind hearted person the classic writers gave him a breaking point and those rare and far between moments were spongebob just looses his shit are downright iconic

[@connornoiles2447]

I just love how in the Dime one. It reminds us that unlike Season 6, Spongebon himself is actually "smart" in pre-movie

[@dogmanwes2790]

18:27 SpongeBob being mad is terrifying just like Phineas being mad

[@BurningSorrows]

All bs and criticism aside, I don’t care what others think they may bash on the show and say their worst about it but really I don’t care. I will forever love this show and even if it has it’s weird or cringe moments or even if they make the weirdest faces ever from what it used to be in the beginning, this show came a long way from when I was growing up as a child, it’s my childhood and I’m still glad that it airs today for other kids to get to know spongebob and be part of their childhood too.

The visit is much more creepier now that I’m seeing it again.

11:38 I think you mean buffing his head, Buffing my head!

[@phantoom7166]

5:20 that is an art magazine, with a claranet on it.

[@FreshDecimate12]

Honestly i liked Sun Bleached, but that's probably just nostalgia goggles

[@leonardbzura957]

first time ever spongebob insulted mr krabs and called him a cheapscate

[@waltersimeon387]

Ah, Spongebob: season 6: Hitting rock bottom after actually going to Rock Bottom.

[@rexyrex1599]

I love the first 3 seasons of spongebob but I still enjoy all the later seasons, you like what you like

[@Spacekid172]

"Can you Spare a Dime? " Loved it. ^^

[@littlehawk22x]

The existence of the Alpha Jay implies the existence of a Beta Jay, as well as an Omega Jay.

[@Julian0505z]

I’m pretty sure I’m a degenerate because I laughed hysterically at Spongebob breathing.

[@caifabe8050]

*sees video title* 'CAUSE YOU WEREN'T THERE WHEN I WAS SCARED, I WAS SO ALONE

[@cumquat5724]

9:12 "Oh yeah thats totally funny. Kids love *breathing* It's up there with paint drying, staring contests, and whatever this character design is." Bruhhh I'm dead xD

[@fracture6999]

Holy crap I completely forgot about 18:27 when spongebob basically breaks 😂 that took me so of guard because of current spongebob stuff

[@aroachyboachy4716]

I actually like squids visit cause its creepy and just a bit funny I think that the creepy episodes are really cool cause they are very interesting and not something that's done in spongebob so much But I love both episodes equally

[@s.b.7987]

0:51 The Splinter was my childhood man

[@-imgonnarexit-12349]

That episode was so badly done though

[@xXPhantomHuskyXxGames]

i think can you spare a dime really brought out a bad side in squidward

[@notatl1804]

I honestly laughed at every moment in this show both of these episodes were hilarious to me as a kid as well as the splinter one but I've never looked at these episodes so closely

[@cartoonmaker8334]

18:25 That gets me laughing every freaking time! So Hilarious

[@23TheDragonLady23]

i love both of these episodes honestly.. i just rewatched squids visit, and its still hilarious to me, no doubt

5:25 I've brought this up talking about new Spongebob before. There is rarely a quiet moment in post-film Spongebob, with there almost always being background music, and just about every movement punctuated by a sound effect, in addition to everyone just shouting their lines half the time. There were quiet moments in pre-film Spongebob, where the characters' dialogue was allowed to carry a scene, and while they did use sound effects a fair bit, they were usually used for comedic emphasis, like that squishy blinking sound, or for characterization, like with everyone's unique walking noises. Old Spongebob respected the intelligence of its audience, about as much as this kind of cartoon can, whereas new Spongebob feels like it's just yelling and waving its arms trying to keep the viewer's attention

[@VampireFan-rf5kb]

Fact: "Squid's Visit" is perhaps one of the rare times in a SpongeBob SquarePants episode or a Squidward Torture Porn episode where Patrick doesn't do anything to join in on SpongeBob torturing Squidward, to the point that Patrick ACTUALLY SHOWED SYMPATHY after Squidward got furious at SpongeBob for his antics that led to the destruction of his (Squidward's) house.

[@loop827]

7:03 "I told you they were on to us!"

[@9965paul]

But why is he so obsessed with squidward

[@shadowyblackness]

14:41 Squidward: (Sigh) What a horrible nightmare. Me:(🎵IT WASN'T🎵)

[@raetreader]

Whenever you play old Spongebob clips without audio, I can still hear what they’re saying in my head.

[@jesusguerrero7906]

I love your videos so much keep up the good work Man

[@yurupivo3507]

HINT Squidward's MISERY MISERY Nice touch, Jay.
