I feel like the episode does not portray cyber-bullying accurately. It's one person, who's just stupid and insults everyone without wanting to, whereas everyone else seems to be civil, at least according to the way you describe it (I haven't seen it myself). It sounds like if you exclude Patrick then everyone else will be talking just fine coz we only have evidence of only one bad apple. You're giving it too much credit imo.

The problem these days is everyone takes every little thing personally. The Internet at large always had trolls but back then we knew not to feed them.

Why does this guy sound familiar? His manner of speaking is super familiar to a guy I know in a discord server I'm in.

The way you speak makes you sound like you like giraffes too much

I see what you did there in the title

Another contender for most relevant episode: Krab Borg, because of one dialogue exchange "Say, you're not a robot, are you?" "No, I'm not." "Well keep your eyes peeled. They're everywhere."

I've seen this happen to Jirard The Completionist. He made one mistake in his career, and everyone in the comments of his videos went hostile against him. I really liked his videos, and I wish this never happened to him.

The funniest part of this is the fact this episode is from the modern age of SpongeBob.

Patrick is a metaphor for Russia

Why do the cars movies get criticize for having a confusing concept while inside out gets off scot free to people. I mean everything that’s been said in your video about the inside out movies remind me of how people talk about the cars movies cause they were criticize by not explaining how anything in the cars world works or makes sense. Like what makes the cars movies any different from the inside out movies?

This just further proves the denizens of Bikini Bottom are terrible

I kinda like the reveal with Patrick, showing how sometimes people don't *mean* to come off the way they do, even though others most definitely *do* "I'm gonna express the worst side of myself! :D "

Really had me going there with the ripped pants at the beginning, but thinking about it I couldn't think of any classic episode that fit the beginning, and only one came to mind... "Ha I knew it!" - my irl reaction to seeing it

The Greater Internet F**kwad Theory states that if you give a totally normal person the mask of anonymity and a captive audience, he shall turn into the most vile and disrespectful jackass you've ever met in your life. I feel this episode captures that fact pretty well too. Nobody knew who "P-Star 7" was and everyone couldn't help BUT to look at the board. Granted the posts were taken out of context, But when given the chance to make a post of that nature without anyone knowing who they were; why wouldn't they?

I agree. People on social media have been much more toxic lately, especially on Twitter.

This isn't just the internet, but also with stuff like Jesus Christ's messages of being good getting twisted for the wrong reasons and this was already happening for billions of years.

So basically, Spongebob has predited TH-cam, Twitter, TikTok and Reddit etc.

Was wondering if anyone would finally analyze the episode as an episode ahead of its time

The internet ruined the concept of movie critiquing, that’s for sure 😑

With cancel culture this video is right

Omg mr krabs is elon musk but worse🤣

Not going to lie, this video was a waste of time.

I agree with almost everything you said, especially the main point about the bulletin board being an allegory for the Internet. I think of this episode as more of a real portrayal or reflection of what the Internet has already become, not as much of a warning as to what it could become. I was a teenager when I first saw this episode and was already aware that the Internet could be a harmful place.

I think this is just common sense.

No music?

You have some great points. I really love what you said. I especially love the original King Kong.

When I first saw the episode, I agreed with your interpretation, that a few jerks can ruin the fun for everyone else. But after watching your review, I now have a new interpretation: Dissent is bad, anonymity is evil, and everyone on the Internet has skin as thin as, well, paper. In fact, by using a nickname, PStar7 was actually less anonymous than anyone who'd used the board up to that point. And maybe people have a good reason to be anonymous, like muckrakers and whistleblowers. Sometimes, the truth can’t be told if everyone’s forced to use their real names. And when you said “Be careful on the Internet. Be thankful that you have such a wonderful invention at your fingertips.” it sounded to me like a threat, especially because of how the episode ended: Mr. Krabs taking down the boards and removing the notes. I see it as an allegory for Internet censorship, and how it’s supposedly a good thing. All it’ll end up doing is give Plankton the idea to put up his own board in the Chum Bucket, where people who feel like they’ve been silenced at the Krusty Krab can go to say what they really think. And yes, that’s an allegory for creators of alternative social media sites. Now that would be a great sequel episode.

I wonder how many Alex from Tennessee stories were posted to the bullying board?

Remember: our closest relatives are highly aggressive apes that once tore a man to shreds because they didn’t get a cake. It’s no surprise that we act aggressively whenever we can: we’re related to those monsters, but society pretends of us to act akin to ants!

Fun fact: the earliest form of social media was Bulletin Board Systems, which were based off of real life bulletin boards.

Sponge Bob " The internet". Cough cough twitter

I feel like this video is 10 years too late. Hell it was probably dated then

4:58 Assuming for the sake of argument, this is based on a real screenshot and not entirely fabricated out of whole cloth; I have trouble believing it was not intentional. It's far more likely they were just being a Schrödinger's asshole, otherwise they would have at _least_ said "You _should_ die," if they meant to give the advice that this run was ruined, and the level needed to be ruined. Just some mildly pedantic semantics, that don't even matter since this is a strawman example anyhow.

treasure planet is amazing u sound dumb af

I agree with the morality behind the writing of the episode. But what happens when someone like me who, by the way opts not to shy away from harsh opinions and still chooses to attach a real name to my screen name, and does not care if someone like myself doesn't care if they are hated for it? And that's another side of the coin too because you'll have influencers today say who they are and say some of the shittiest things and express the worst of humanity's beliefs and people will still follow them. It's not just the anonymous people you gotta worry about and frankly, some people who don't fear death and are willing to be blunt, real, and even vulgar to a point along with the appropriate context, will have a life after death.

You know what’s Worse about the people being oblivious to not noticing the toys being sentient is in all of the toy story movies and specials is that the owners who own the toys somehow don’t hear the toys voices when there talking loudly to each other or when there making noises or when the owners are in the room sleeping the toys talk loudly to each other and somehow doesn’t wake them up one comes to mind is toy story of terror where Bonnie and her mom were asleep in the same room the toys were in and when they come out of the bag they straight up don’t whisper instead talk loudly or scream or make noises that somehow didn’t wake either of them up they are sure heavy sleepers like Patrick.

Mike Tyson - Social media Made Y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it.

no offense man but every strong vowel you shove into every end of a sentence drives me to a migraine, you genuinely sound like gay brian

A nanny mouse.

I feel like something like this happened to me a few months ago it was on tumblr about avatar the lastair bender content everyone including prying pandora the one who’s tumblr we were on was criticizing a post over a character I defended the character and texted my own opinion but prying pandora said that if I still wanted to make claims that burden on me then we started to argue over the next few days then finally she said “I can do my own interpretation or head-canon but no one has to agree with me “ I then insulted her and call her a hypocrite after a few days I felt so ashamed and then apologize to her thankfully she said it was ok but I still felt guilty. I never had much thought about this episode but looking back at it especially on your analysis I realized this how these thing happened people don’t agree with people opinions so they argue and say horrible stuff at something so small and simple it should bring people together and maybe it does but it doesn’t have to be like this not everybody going to apologize for saying mean things and that why your interpretation hit so hard I just feel so ashamed.

The real issue with the internet isn't bullying. The issue is people from other countries getting offended, and having different laws, and the legal mess it creates in communications. Bullying and harassment aren't even close to the real problem with the internet. That's an issue, but the true danger lies in the legal issues it starts, such as possibly breaking a law in England while in the United States. They don't have free speech in any of the Western Countries anymore, and you possibly might break laws in those other countries saying what you say. The Internet needs to be consolidated into a research tool. Like a giant Wikipedia, but with all the knowledge of mankind. Basically Google Books. But it's a wonderful resource for learning. You can teach yourself anything. I'm learning Geometry and Algebra and a host of other things. And can now do simple systems of equations. But free speech is America's greatest virtue. And the internet threatens it. Which is why I'm in favor of getting rid of it. Except all the research based tools on it. Like you can learn anything you want on the internet. That's the greatest benefit of the Internet, is that you can learn, and it just needs to be curated better, so you get better information on it. The internet is beautiful, but it's broken.

While i have valid reasons why i dislike alot of modern spongebob i do like how this episode basically potrayed social media

I never seen this episode 😢 I thought I watched every episode of SpongeBob. Thanks 😂

Adaptation vs Reimagining

>Released in 2016 Bruh, most of the issues with the internet were already in full swing by that point, this didn't warn us about anything that wasn't already going on.

You sound like Squidward if he were a New Yorker. I kinda like it tbh

its not that deep bro

SpongeBob tried to war us 😱😱

The internet only became an issue when big companies started policing what people could say.
