4:13 in this scene alone, i think all the coloured squares surrounding squidward are meant to represent the spongebob main cast. yellow, brown/orange = spongebob pink = patrick light blue, purple/dark blue, red = mr. krabs these coloured squares disappear once he mentions being alone it may just be accidental, coincidental, or was done for a reference but it might be meaningful here :P i don't know

When you think about it, Squidward is probably the most fleshed out character in Spongebob (In the early seasons at least). He starts off as this snarky person who seems to just hate everyone around him. But over time, it's shown that Squidward only acts this way because he feels like he's trapped in this world where no one else understands him and will always be alone.
@andrewduong2740
@andrewduong2740 3 роки тому
And at the same time the show doesn't go out of its way to sympathise with him as some tortured genius. Many times when he has shit hurled at him, it's not because he's this misunderstood intellectual. It's because he's being high-strung and pretentious. But he's not really as above the sort of spontaneity of his neighbors as he thinks he is, like in that episode where he lives in that gated community for a few weeks. I dunno, this is just my take

How is my mind in the past? I am (my mind is) presently aware of my phone, my dog barking, the fact I feel warm, and feel hungry - while I am also thinking about what WAS said in this video (the past). You have to be aware of the present in order to DO anything. That quote in the video sounds deep - but actually doesn’t make any sense. Yes, if you want to be super picky - it takes an extremely brief amount of time for what is in front of you to travel through your senses and into your brain and then your mind to react to it, so in a very superficial way it is true - but VERY SUPERFICIALLY. Choosing to focus on and use your mind to think about something that was SAID IN THE PAST is not the same as your mind itself BEING IN the past. FOCUSING ON the past and BEING IN the past are totally different things. So fear not and don’t be nauseous - enjoy the present - and learn from/think about the past when necessary!

There is something even more uncanny in this episode. According to physic's laws if you go back in time you will not return in the actual past. You will create a seperate timeline which is exactly like your past but it is impossible to return to that one you left because time's flow cannot be changed. In other words Squidward has left his actual reality forever and is teleported to a different reality which has another Squidward just like him. And this only gets uncannier because by the time Squidward is teleported to the seperate reality, the other Squidward from that reality is already trapped in the freezer just like he was.

This is definitely one of the most disturbing episodes of all time. As a kid you can't understand what is going on, and you probably laughed at the part when people were chanting "alone alone alone". But now seeing this, it's definitely something far disturbing. It's like spongebob then was to not he understood by younger people until they rewatch it being older, then it's just not the same.

I will never forget Rock Bottom. Rock Bottom was terrifying because it was so real. There was no ghosts, there were no monsters, it was about Spongebob in a town he doesn't know, full of fish who could barely understand him, waiting at a bus stop. It's a situation everyone will end up in at one point in their life...

Kind of weak argument to say they're exploring Nihilism and connect it only with inference. Could easily just be their creative choices to tell the story of what the episode was clearly actually about, which was introversion versus extroversion. Introverts will feel like they want to be alone most of the time, but easily come to suffer loneliness within the infinite landscape of their self. The episode is making the argument that no matter what the individual feels, they must always be a part of community or else they will end up in nothing, alone. The substantiates of time travel and giving Spongebob and Patrick jellyfishing nets, breaking the time machine out of frustration and ending up in nothing is a very good way to do this, because in a way you do make your own prison as an introvert. Admitting he misses society (Spongebob), snaps him out of it, but he doesn't change. He simply realises he needs them and accepts it, just like an introvert would have to. I would believe your point it's inspired by recurring themes and patterns in life and papers written on them, but to say it was specifically one, and that this episode specifically explored Nihilism seems like complete BS honestly. Just seems pessimistic. It's far more likely there was a pattern theme to reinforce the idea that you could be much the same as everyone else with the same needs. In fact you could be so much the same as everyone else, that one of your ancestors could have begun a tradition that alienates you from society today. I think the message that we're all the same in a lot of ways, and that we all need each other even if we have contempt for one another, is a much more likely message for Spongebob to have than "everything is pointless" lol.

To be honest i felt like the episode was trying way too hard to make life seem meaningless. Thinking = goals Goals = purpose Purpose = all you need All you need = reduces anxiety, doubt and to realize your path Reduces anxiety, doubt and to realize your path = Happiness Not implying that one won’t be sad in their life since that would be a lie.

I remember seeing this and having my first ever existential crisis. Felt like the gates of my mind were blown apart at the seems and everything I knew changed. I remember feeling like a kid and then not knowing how I felt about anything, it was insane to process what I had just seen and how my brain suddenly flipped a switch. Maybe that’s why I enjoy SpongeBob to a degree even hitting 30. It was the first time I was able to remember thinking for myself for the first time.

I walked around his house feeling the fabric of his couch and conceptualizing time but after that we sat down and watched some tv. I watched that flavortown dude eat a burger and it was pretty strange. i started asking existential questions to myself during all of that and it started to come to conclusion explained in the video. I just kept hearing "it is what it is" and i was afraid man. I wanted to go for a walk but my friend never wants to do anything i suggest so i just soaked for a long time in that dark place. The repitition think hit hard too. I was able to shake it all out though. There is alot of darkness in life, but there is just as much light and goodness. I have to remind myself of that alot

I have had life-long bipolar disorder and existential dread was a big part of that, I'm talking "couldn't look at the sky bc it reminded me of the impermanence and insignificance of my mortal human life" type of dread. I always took great comfort in this episode and I remember feeling that when it first came out, ultimately because Squidward, despite everything he's gone thru and where he went. He wasn't trapped in the in-between He lives in a world full of other people and would therefore never be truly alone even if sometimes he thinks it would be better

Something that I think ties into this theory, at the very end of the episode, is that Squidward realizes that in the past HE invented jellyfishing, the very thing he's been opposing and trying to remove himself from this entire episode. He HAS technically made a change in the world, but it's the very thing he didnt want, and its a bootstrap paradox- a cyclical theoretical concept without an origin.

One of my favorite Spongebob episodes of all time - that eerie feeling I had as a kid watching it for the first time was something else while still being funny and entertaining. 10/10 would watch again.

yes, that’s right this episode also teaches you that loneliness is bad if you are alone for too long, especially if you’re in a wide-open space full of no one around It over you giving you a strong sense of bitterness, frustration, and overall sadness

I can’t believe you talked about an eternal cycle and didn’t mention at the end when Squidward asked Spongebob and Patrick who invented Jellyfishing and they both responded with “you did, Sauidward!” At which point Squid was just like “I’m going back.”

Wait, how would they actually know if he actually do it? Did they have ancestors who told them that the person “squidward” made jelly fishing? Soon passing it on generation through generations? Why were spongebob and patrick so calm that they were meeting the person that taught their ancestors how to jelly fish? “You did squidward...” there is a possible chance squidward might be... actually dead. Since he taught spongebob and patrick how to jelly fish. He taught them how to jellyfish. And now he’s here with the ancestors great great 15x grandchildren, and they act all normal, like he didn’t die, like he didn’t disappear. Just to come back. He came back to the present with a time machine and they acted all normal... what if that isn’t the present? What if he’s actually still dead. He’s in the afterlife.

I had the same experience but had no idea why. I hated that it was the end of SpongeBob. And I hated this episode because I was uncomfortable watching it for reasons I had no idea until revisiting the idea as an adult. But as a child what it looked like, i just thought wow that was the worst episode they could have ended with. Cause I knew it was the last episode when I watched it. It said so on nickelodeon
