i was rewatching the 'help wanted' Spongebob episode and found so many mistakes and thought it be a fun video to make. lmk in the comments if this is something you'd want to see more often!
Well yeah, this is the pilot episode. Pilot episodes are pitches, made by an understaffed team, to make a basic idea of what the show is about. This is an exceptional animated pilot for its time. Just compare it to Adventure Times pilot which came later. In animation regards, the animators used Cell Shading. Basically, they’d have a background that they use as the canvas, like the inside of the Krusty Krab. Then, they’d draw a character, for example SpongeBob. SpongeBobs character would be drawn on a sheet of see-through plastic too. And placed overtop of the backdrop, and then the next one on top of that for a scene. I do not blame them for inconsistencies with the Anchovies eyes, when they had to draw that many separate cell shaded pieces, one for each frame on anchovies alone, with a pilot episode budget. Cell shading was useful for hand drawing as when drawing the next frame, they could trace over top of the lays by placing the entire sheet of plastic underneath the new frame and tracing it. They did a great job with this system considering they had about as many consistency errors as other episodes in both this season, and all later ones until S9 when the animation was finally stepped up and wide screened, and even more so S10 when they got crazy with expressiveness on characters. They actually at one point started selling individual cell shaded frames from the show, which would contain the background layer, and every other layer making up a singular frame. You could actually own a piece of an episode. These were obviously only Season 1, as Season 2 went away from Cell Shading. Nice video though, it was entertaining.
Squidward's teeth look purple because it's dark in Krusty Krabs at that moment, and in darkness, white objects often look blue-ish or purple-ish. And that pole looks purple because that small red light from the spatula illuminated it. The animators went for realistic lighting
Wow, i was honestly excepting errors as in like, *BIG MISTAKES* . No it's just simple continuity errors that happen in like every animated show known to man, what's next? Are looping backgrounds gonna be an error XD.
I think the flag and the teeth were only purple because they are white objects being shown in a darker or more shaded setting and instead of just a grey aquire a purplish hue to represent darkness. Also, the pole may be turning red in some scenes because it is shiny and reflecting Mr. Krabs red shell only showing at certain angles. Maybe.
7:05 If I had to guess the pole changing colors is from the light on the top of the hydrodynamic spatula, you can see an antenna with a little red light at the top of it but I have no clue besides that
I think that slight shake was part of the video reel or projector thingy idk what it's called but yeah it was part of that Because it was 1999 they had to use something to record a simple cartoon animation
Can the comments chill? No one's blaming anyone. He just points out mistakes, which is normal. Also i treat this more like an easter egg rather than mistakes.
7:00 to me it looks like the lighting from the spatula, but the lighting looks a bit weird, the thing is tinted, but the other side is still the original color
I think there was one more mistake in that episode, at the near ending mr. Krabs said, "Hip hip" and squidward said hooray and tried to say his name, when mr. Krabs said hip hip again, squidward DID say hooray but he didn't say mr. Krabs name, BUT there was an animation of squidward trying to say mr. Krabs name.
0:26 you missed the fact that squidward's house has bambu behind it only in this very scene and they never show up again, also in 7:08 the pole is red because of the red light the spatula has
Oh yeah. You forgot that after squidward seeing Spongebob, you said that the “arrow was disappear”. But i see the squidward graffiti drawing is more detail than before at 2:35
also the order sign is back there again, when spongebob flies into the kitchen, totally unharmed & then it's hanging down after the fishes left. so you forgot 2 mistakes
First of, thank you lol and second Paramount said “nah we ain’t haven’t this” so they took it down from u.s and other countries, i just submitted a dispute so hopefully it goes thru and this gets solved asap
People really goin on this video's comments and defending the episode like the creators are going to watch this and have their feelings hurt. It's for entertainment, fellas! I certainly enjoyed it - I like to watch a Spongebob episode and then go on the wiki and read the Errors section and be like "HOW did I miss this?" Like in the Rock Bottom episode when Spongebob floats home with his balloon... his pineapple is just TERRIBLY photoshopped onto a picture of Bikini Bottom.
Continuity errors in a pilot that only contradict later episodes or not "mistakes". They didn't "accidently" forget a window on spongebob's house, they just hadn't decided yet how many windows it would have. This is needlessly pedantic when things like the frame shaking and mis collared collars ARE mistakes that are kinda interesting to see.
theres a mistake in the red sun where everyone turns real at the end sandy turned into a real squirll but when she did her tail was still shown on her suit even tho her tail is on her body??
Well yeh thiers gonna be animation mistakes especially in the first pilot episode ever. From what I know Mr Hellenberg and his small team didnt have much time to write or animate this one. From what I know the Voice actors came in first and recorded thier lines as the episode was being written in real time and the animators were understaffed too only having like 10 at the time I think. They basically had a deadline to make with little time and had to rush this out or NICK would have pulled the plug on Spongebob for good.
7:00 idk maybe cuz the light underwater is naturally blue and now theres a red light from spongebob's spatula next to it?? look at the rest of the frame dude its not that hard
SpongeBob is probably the worst cartoon when it comes to continuity lmao there will be object somewhere in a episode and every time they go back it’s never there
It's the first episode. You can't blame anybody for the mistakes.
My thoughts exactly when I watched this video
i agree but i think its interesting to see how much the show changed itself
@@TrennexMix yes, and it's also interesting to see the details that go into 2D animation :)
This entire channel's goal is to point details out in SpongeBob episodes
We gotta blame SOMEBODY 😂
7:00 The pole changes color due to the red light on the hydro-dynamic spatula
I thought that too, but in another scene where it gets closer the red light is gone. So, I don't know.
Maybe the reflection off Mr. Crabs considering the pole is metal?

Thank you for this

Spongebob's eyelashes always disappear when he blinks
the “inverted credits” was the boom of them hitting the pole, also the window was there in the scene , if you look between the anchovies
There is no such things as a perfect cartoon pilot.
*gravity falls*
@@yomiyuartsschaffrillas productions reference
Hellbenders
@@yomiyuartsBut spongebob was in 1999
@@StupidGuy-GarbageAnimationsi think the pilot episode was made in 1997 which is why it looks considerably different than the rest of season 1
5:38 This is not a mistake, this is a stylistic way to show the crash of the wave of anchovies
Wow, i was honestly excepting errors as in like, *BIG MISTAKES* .
No it's just simple continuity errors that happen in like every animated show known to man,
what's next?
Are looping backgrounds gonna be an error XD.
There could be a thousand mistakes but I still won’t stop loving this episode ❤
@ 7:48 ... but we know from its history that it SHOULD appear.
THAT'S the MISTAKE.
3:18
Every door, window and sign from the background is missing. (The kitchen's door, Mr. Crab's office door, Squidward's counter... etc)
I think the flag and the teeth were only purple because they are white objects being shown in a darker or more shaded setting and instead of just a grey aquire a purplish hue to represent darkness. Also, the pole may be turning red in some scenes because it is shiny and reflecting Mr. Krabs red shell only showing at certain angles. Maybe.
About the red thing, that's pretty obviously the light from the spatula. I don't know how he didn't realize that.
I think the pole thing turned red ish cuz of the spatulas little red flashing light
Spunch bop
Squinch bib

7:18 You forgot it, but there's a second time SpongeBob's collar turns red. Around the part where he chucks the Krabby Patties at the anchovies.
7:05 If I had to guess the pole changing colors is from the light on the top of the hydrodynamic spatula, you can see an antenna with a little red light at the top of it but I have no clue besides that
i love the the spongebob videos youve been making thank you
This is how you make mustard pregnant. Give him videos as food.
7:31 2 white dots on spongeboys tag disappeared when he moved
I like this channel a lot but this is my favorite type of video so far
If every episode of a show was as good as its pilot, I would have no complaint about anything in life
2:32 no patrick far away
1:08
IM READY!!!!!!!
interesting how squidwards house has poles in the back but only in this episode after this his house never has them again
“It didn’t appear until it’s debut” mustard pregnancy-2023
Keep doing the good work bro.
it is really cool to see what they added from the first episode
Squidward’s teeth wasn’t purple it was the lighting lol
I love your channel❤
I think that slight shake was part of the video reel or projector thingy idk what it's called but yeah it was part of that
Because it was 1999 they had to use something to record a simple cartoon animation
_SpongeBob SquarePants_ animators: _make a minor character model mistake in the pilot episode_
MustardPregnancy: "And I took that personally."
This channel literally has all my favs animation errors, theories, and Mandela effects this is a channel I've always needed great job keep it up ❤👍🏾
The first mistake with the window, that was the first design of the house, so that means any other episodes with 2 windows is a mistake.
3:06 Mr Krabs doesnt have a door to his office
Can the comments chill? No one's blaming anyone. He just points out mistakes, which is normal. Also i treat this more like an easter egg rather than mistakes.
Bruh, really? The pole is red because of the light from the spatula
well yeah but it changes
Loved this video
2:53 the road in the backround just dissapears
When the anchovies are in the Krusty krab at the counter you can see the blue anchovy in the front his eye disappears 5:06
7:19 where’s the door to mr krabs office?
7:00 to me it looks like the lighting from the spatula, but the lighting looks a bit weird, the thing is tinted, but the other side is still the original color
And then Spongebob opens the door and the path disappeared again
The mistakes make it unique
I think there was one more mistake in that episode, at the near ending mr. Krabs said, "Hip hip" and squidward said hooray and tried to say his name, when mr. Krabs said hip hip again, squidward DID say hooray but he didn't say mr. Krabs name, BUT there was an animation of squidward trying to say mr. Krabs name.
6:40 that might be because of shading
These are interesting, but some of these are definitely explainable...
2:24 also the graffiti got some additional lines and dots on squidwards head
Lovin it
0:26 you missed the fact that squidward's house has bambu behind it only in this very scene and they never show up again, also in 7:08 the pole is red because of the red light the spatula has
2:53 no road infront of the crusty crab
Oh yeah. You forgot that after squidward seeing Spongebob, you said that the “arrow was disappear”. But i see the squidward graffiti drawing is more detail than before at 2:35
bro the chum bucket only exists if it's related to the episode
even in season 13, the chum bucket is not to be seen if it isn't related to the episode
I like how people say errors in SpongeBob but is a pilot
ATP say it’s a mistake SpongeBob is a talking sponge man
also the order sign is back there again, when spongebob flies into the kitchen, totally unharmed & then it's hanging down after the fishes left.
so you forgot 2 mistakes
You missed 1 where when SpongeBob goes in the Krusty Krab the graffiti on the door is gone
You Missed a mistake.
In the scene where Spongebob is slicing the lettuce and the tomatoes, the gap between his teeth is white.
On 1:29 you can, someone was handing them out at i Nick stadium. And 17th comment.
7:02 its red because the alarm went on and theres red glow.
What happened to your Chum Theory video? I had it saved to my Watch Later playlist and now it's gone :(
First of, thank you lol and second Paramount said “nah we ain’t haven’t this” so they took it down from u.s and other countries, i just submitted a dispute so hopefully it goes thru and this gets solved asap
@@mustardpregnancy oh yeah, looks like it's back now
(At 5:05) Also, one brown orange ish anchovy on the right has their mouth coloured blue instead of opening their mouth!! i noticed! :0
I wanted to watch SpongeBob because my only memory of it is when my teacher put it on during lunch..
BUT NETFLIX TOOK IT OFF 😭

What do you expect? Rock bottom, its a 2000's episode
heya im. . . Uhh who am i again?
The Bup
Bup boy
In the first episode is the bed on the wrong side of the room?
This was made in like 1997. Of course there's gonna be mistakes and design changes.
In episode 1 the chum bucket isn't across the street from the Krusty Krab
I think the pole is the shadows

guys i discovered the krabby patty secret formula.
ps: want to know? say a joke.
Have you heard of the movie Constipated? No? It probably hasn't came out yet.
1:10 Patrick house is fallen apart
1:46 when they jump shadow appears
remeber that all the frames are hand drawn
he said that in the video
theres a mistake in the red sun where everyone turns real at the end sandy turned into a real squirll but when she did her tail was still shown on her suit even tho her tail is on her body??
2:13 no road no squidward
1:10 why is that arrow floating in multiple pieces?
7:44 his tag disappeared

3:51 still no tissue and sparay
2:54 no sparay and tissue
Everyone makes mistakes
maybe cuz its the 1st episode. they could have just.. yk.. changed the designs of some things?
7:00 idk maybe cuz the light underwater is naturally blue and now theres a red light from spongebob's spatula next to it?? look at the rest of the frame dude its not that hard
a mistake you missed was mr krabs eyelids are pink not red
2:55 the road is missing
I mean, if you wanna talk about mistakes, you called a section of the video "The Crusty Crab," when it's spelled "The Krusty Krab."
No the chin bucket isn't there and when Spongebob ran to patrick the road was gone and when he ran back the road was still gone
rewatch season 1,ep 2
Did i go too far on him?
lol
Ok
SpongeBob is probably the worst cartoon when it comes to continuity lmao there will be object somewhere in a episode and every time they go back it’s never there
I love TH-cam poop
YOOOOOO 7TH COMMENTS ALSO GREAT VIDEO
1:32 shadow dissapears
Came here for continuity or plot mistakes, all I got was unfinished and missing animation. This video is not it dude...
