Alternative theory: Patrick went to a regular grocery store to buy soda, but because he's not the brightest, he calls it the "soda store". Patrick also never went to college at all, Flats just knew he was Spongebob's best friend and approached him and said "Hey! Remember me? We went to college together!" This one statement was enough for Patrick to create a false memory, as he is shown multiple times through the series to be highly suggestible.
Yeah the one in the video is stupid. Patrick is spongebobs best friend, and whenever he lies, which he doesn’t do often, he gets all nervous. He doesn’t just lie with a straight face
Even Squidward wouldn't kill SpongeBob, he has morals on multiple-occasions; for example when standing up to Mr.Krabs when SpongeBob had the soul taken towards the Dutchman, and when the Pizza man made SpongeBob cry. And Mrs.Puff was shown to care about SpongeBob on several occasions even though people don't notice it, For example when she was in the prison episode where she didn't want to go back to Boating School she wouldn't tell SpongeBob that she hated him enough to get away from him and stood up for him in the same episode that he shouldn't go to jail beacuse he's 'just a boy' or something like that. Patrick is too dumb to honestly Hire a hitman and SpongeBob is his 'Best Friend', he cried his eyes out when SpongeBob left to join the Jellyfish, why on earth would that dumb Starfish kill off his best friend?
@@tldoctor2497 isnt that even more evidence that she doesnt hate spongebob deep down, while he annoys her, she doesnt want to kill him, at this time of course
The part when the Flat’s dad says “Now he’s gonna kick my butt.” As if he’s terrified. Maybe he didn’t see the early signs of Flats becoming a manipulative psychopath and making threats about wanting to murder him. Did Flats do this to his dad even throughout his childhood? That is genuinely messed up. Do you know how much of a messed up psycho you gotta be to do that?
I think Mrs.Puff definitely let Flats get away with it. Either with her help or just her turning a blind eye to Flats' harassment because she didn't like SpongeBob. Classic teacher turns a blind eye to abuse situation. But I disagree about Patrick, I think its more likely he got tricked by Flats with some mind games. I think Flats could have easily confused Patrick to the point where he doubted his own memory and thought maybe they did meet each other before. I think the soda shop part is real, I mean who says there isn't a soda shop for no reason? There's plenty of other shops we know about too. So really I think Patrick sadly is just really easily manipulated and thats why he said that. Or who knows, maybe he went to college for a few weeks and then dropped out and they met during the short time span he was there. That could also make sense to me.
20 years of watching this episode and it took a TH-camr in 2021 for me to think "huh.... that's is a little weird that flats can drive a semi even though he was going to boating school"
well that's not so unheard off. He is portrait as the "Bad boy, / gets in trouble type. He could have driven boats for years without al license, or already had one and lost it, due to breaking traffic rules or something. Or was ordered to to boating lessens or something.
What if flats actually lied to Patrick to fool him that they were college because Patrick isn't smart enough to remember someone like that and flats used Patrick to learn more about spongebob
I think you made some interesting points. Definitely agree Flats has a personal vendetta against SpongeBob because SpongeBob wronged him in someway in the past. I definitely think one part of it is the whole “alien hunting” incident, but I offer another reason flats would want to beat up SpongeBob…Ok so it’s the episode where mermaid-man and barnacle-boy are taking SpongeBob on a ride along. They see a former villain of the heroes. His name is the “Atomic Flounder”, and he’s no longer a villain. He’s just a retired old man minding his own business when SpongeBob attacks him. Now what if Atomic Flounder is Flat’s grandfather. Having a supervillain as a grandfather probably didn’t do him any good in terms of mental health. It could be argued that the reason Flat’s father is scared of his own son is that he tried to set a good example for his son. It could have been a “redeem the family” situation, but the grandfather’s influence over flats is too strong. Thinking from Flats point of view: “I want to get back at this guy for not just what he did to be, but my grandpa too. Hey he has a teacher who dislikes him, and wouldn’t care if I beat him up. I could also hang out with his best friend too really mess with him…” that’s one way it could be interpreted.
You talk about how Patrick doesn't seem like the type to attend college, when Pat says he met Flatz in college, however Patrick said COMMUNITY college, not regular college. A community college is open to anyone who wants to follow a course compared to college admission, meaning essentially anyone could get in, so Patrick going to community college makes sense. I won't dismiss the idea of Flatz going to community college either, as he doesn't seem very bright, intelligence-wise. About the bit where you talk about Flatz being able to drive garbage truck without a licence, you said "Since Flatz knows how do drive, why would he need to go to boating school?" The answer is simple, you may know how to drive, or be good at driving, but just not have a licence, therefore you'd need to get your driving test done, so you can get a licence. Pushing all of that aside, Patrick is simply too stupid to pay a hitman (Flatz) to take out his best friend. Even then, your point about Patrick using Spongebob for money and food disproves this. If Patrick was living off Spongebob (which he clearly is) then killing Spongebob would result in Patrick not having anyone to leech off of. Overall, it's an interesting concept, however it doesn't really check out. + Where would Patrick get the money to pay for a hitman, since he lives off of Spongebob?
You don't have to be a genius to go into community college, but it's disingenuous to say people who do are idiots. It's usually for careers that don't require a bachelor's or as a cheaper way to ger your first two or so years of college.
I'll be honest. When I was a kid my mom would burn some toons onto vhs tape when we couldn't afford cable. This episode was one of em and this was pretty much how my mind presumed the episode.

It makes no sense for Mrs. Puff to not be alert about what Flats drew on the chalkboard. She should be fired if she doesn't care about that type of bullying, or maybe it's because she hired Flats!!
@@Mr.Cinian so far, my favorite is the Rock Bottom theory, about what if SpongeBob never returned. i’ll watch the playlist and let you know if it changes! :))
@@Mr.Cinian I feel so bad for spongebob, i guess the reason why Patrick changed from sweet and kind to mean and selfish in later seasons is because he was always like that. He's not just a dimwit, he's a phsyco.
Soda shops are real, but very outdated. In the 50s it was a social places for teens like a diner but primarily with ice cream and soda. There are still some places like that today.
Spongebob assaulted Atomic Flounder who might have been Flat's grandfather. When after Spongebob told Flats about a story about kicking someone's butt, Flats wanted to kick his butt twice as hard. Now we know that Flats is not referencing him in the story rather it might have been someone he knows which is coincidently Atomic Flounder.
"What is a Soda shop?" A place where they sell Soda Pop and Soda Pop accessories. Probably could get a good root beer float there. It's an anachronism. An old one. My grandmother was what was called a "Soda Jerk" which is basically someone who operates the bar at a soda shop.
The part about Sandy’s Rocket and Flatts being in that episode was mentioned in another video. To be fair Community College is easy compared to a 4 year college. One example I have there is at a CC Economics courses only require vocab words and understanding how they work in the economy and at a 4 year there’s also math in those courses. You’re still making great points though
I think you went off about Patrick hiring him. Much more likely that Puff did it. Patrick could simply be lied to and fall for it. This would fit with Alex Bale take on Puff. She is forced to teach Spongebob because Bottomfeeders revenge on her, she is not even allowed to charge Spongebob and just imagine all the costs he causes her as well. So she even got financial reason as to.
The "parent is scared of their own child" is actually a pretty common trope in Nickelodeon shows or in general in TV, and many TV shows stated that. In Henry Danger, Henry's parents couldn't control Piper. In the Thundermans, Nora's own parents were afraid of her. It's implied that Vicky's parents in Fairly Odd parents couldn't control her either. And that's only a few examples. Of coursee those shows were aired much later, but I still think it's kinda a Nickelodeon thing.
“No such thing as a Soda Store” there is in my town. It’s a very popular hang out joint. For both teens and college adults. The cops love it as the teens are hanging out there rather than out committing crimes, doing drugs, or getting drunk.
I love all of your theories and the way you break it down so plainly they can't help but to be believable because you connect everything so well and in ways I would have never thought of thanks
Soda shop may be referring to a malt shop, a real thing in the 50's, or a kid-friendly stand in for a liquor store, which Patrick tbh seems like the type to go to one.
Flats was a background character in a older episode of SpongeBob before the bully episode I know a lot about SpongeBob lore flats was also in the episode where SpongeBob thought he was on an alien planet with Patrick and flats was captured by SpongeBob and Patrick that's why flats tries to bully him
@@hassanalkhalaf1115flats was also in the episode about the hook she was also in the episode about SpongeBob and Patrick thought they were on the alien planet
Patrick didn't even know who his real parents were. Of course he can be convinced to have gone to college with flats. Additionally, I know 3 soda stores in my city alone as well as a large handful of soda "shops" that serve dirty sodas.
@@JETS5 it was funny that he acted confident like he has knowledge when he didn't know any shit. Modern era Patrick screams in your face how dumb he is
If Mr. Krabs found out about Mrs. Puff's real intentions, he would 100%ly dump her. Mr. Krabs loves Spongebob like a son and. Despite how annoying he is, he would never want him dead. Besides, Spongebob is his best and cheapest employee. Without him, he would become broke
Soda shops used to be inside pharmacys in the 50s. Steve Hillenburg was still alive when this episode was released, perhaps he wrote that line as a funny gag. I loved this theory though.
I’ve been watching your theory videos recently. I loved your video about Mrs. puff being a criminal there was plenty of evidence to support that theory. And the theory about Squiliam (don’t know if I’m spelling that right) was actually quite interesting and it being highly likely. And the idea that Flatts did this to get revenge on SpongeBob for what happened when he rounded him up thinking he was an alien, and Mrs. Puff being in on it I can see that part being true cause she really hates spongebob. But Patrick being in on it? I don’t know I think that was a bit of a stretch. Especially when Patrick was willing to try to help SpongeBob pass his boating test. The idea is not completely far-fetched, but the idea of Patrick being in on it I think you’ve presented better and more likely theories. And not there being a pizza castle or soda store? How do we know those don’t exist in the spongebob world? They have a store for pranks, they have the chum bucket, etc. This idea might be a bit of an argument from silence.
I think Mrs puff hired flats bc she knows if he kills or beats spongebob and makes him scared to go back to boat school. That is why she uses spongebobs name when he told her not to. Maybe Patrick talked flats into not killing spongebob but just to beat him bc Patrick knows that just punching spongebob won't hurt him.
How would Patrick know that? Remember the episode where Patrick negotiated with the Flying Dutchman? "5 wishes" "Ok 4" "3 wishes" "ok 3 wishes" "cool", Patrick is not a super genius.
I think he did this because he attacked his grandpa which is probably the atomic founder and he kidnapped him so it makes sense for him to get revenge.
My theory, is that SpongeBob is in the boating school for multiple hit and runs, DUI, I mean we did see the one time he got drunk from ice cream and tried to drive the burger car, and he has hit people whole driving yk Bluefish, just saying he could be better off riding a bike like Squidward
4:15 I assumed that this was an innuendo for a bar, since they’re adults. “I met my old community college friend at the bar.” makes more sense than all of this
Or Flats is obsessed with Patrick and doesn't want Patrick to be Spongebob's friend. Only Flats is Patrick's friend! Mrs. Puff must ignore it as Flats kills or scares off Spongebob she is free to leave!
This is just...bad. It's easy to poke holes into it. Flats can drive because you can know how to drive without a license. Patrick DID go to community college because they will let literally anyone in. Patrick doesn't have the type of money or connections needed to hire a hitman. Patrick has no motive to want Spongebob gone.
The fact that Flats is seen driving and enrolled in driving school is kinda a moot point. You can know how to drive a car but not know how to drive a commercial vehicle.
I don't think Patrick even knew about the plan they just used him. As it'd community college Patrick could have gone there or alternatively flats could have easily given Patrick a false memory fo Community college so he just went along with it
Soda store might be Patrick saying soda aisle in the store, but as you called it a soda shop. Soda shops are common in some regions in the US and Canada. It is called a malt shop in some areas. I have been to one a few times when in Indiana. It is also common to see in 50's based movies and shows. However as what looked to be a glass of tea was held up, I took it as the soda aisle in the store, just said in a Patrick sort of way. Though to be honest, the first time I watched that episode I took it as a pub/bar reference.
I think it's the Atomic Flounder, Flat's grandfather. SpongeBob attacked him and The Atomic Flounder can't fight anymore so he got his grandson who inherited his nuclear strength to kill SpongeBob as revenge for harassing him in public.
Alternative theory: Patrick went to a regular grocery store to buy soda, but because he's not the brightest, he calls it the "soda store". Patrick also never went to college at all, Flats just knew he was Spongebob's best friend and approached him and said "Hey! Remember me? We went to college together!"

And the theory about Squiliam (don’t know if I’m spelling that right) was actually quite interesting and it being highly likely. And the idea that Flatts did this to get revenge on SpongeBob for what happened when he rounded him up thinking he was an alien, and Mrs. Puff being in on it I can see that part being true cause she really hates spongebob. But Patrick being in on it? I don’t know I think that was a bit of a stretch. Especially when Patrick was willing to try to help SpongeBob pass his boating test.
The idea is not completely far-fetched, but the idea of Patrick being in on it I think you’ve presented better and more likely theories. And not there being a pizza castle or soda store? How do we know those don’t exist in the spongebob world? They have a store for pranks, they have the chum bucket, etc. This idea might be a bit of an argument from silence.
You sure you weren't just watching Alex bale?
@@reymorr9429 ?
“i hope mr krabs rejects you” LMFAOOOOOOO
I just watched that part 😂
This is one of the first episodes I ever saw on vhs back in the early 2000s, love that you made a theory on it.
this gives me Alex bale vibes. nice video.
I though this was garbage, now I think this is a really good theory
The fact the satire went over so many heads
It makes more sense for Mrs Puff to be the mastermind and Patrick being a dumbass pawn
I think Mrs puff hired flats bc she knows if he kills or beats spongebob and makes him scared to go back to boat school. That is why she uses spongebobs name when he told her not to. Maybe Patrick talked flats into not killing spongebob but just to beat him bc Patrick knows that just punching spongebob won't hurt him.
How would Patrick know that? Remember the episode where Patrick negotiated with the Flying Dutchman? "5 wishes" "Ok 4" "3 wishes" "ok 3 wishes" "cool", Patrick is not a super genius.
This man is like the spongebob guy but real
WHAT?? After all these years of me thinking his name was Flance the flounder it was FLATS!?
I thought it was Flance too 😂
"Soda shops aren't real, you cant convince me otherwise"
- this guy for some reason
I think he did this because he attacked his grandpa which is probably the atomic founder and he kidnapped him so it makes sense for him to get revenge.
I can't believe I watched this whole video just to see if it was somehow tied to the SpongeBob conspiracy ARG
My theory, is that SpongeBob is in the boating school for multiple hit and runs, DUI, I mean we did see the one time he got drunk from ice cream and tried to drive the burger car, and he has hit people whole driving yk Bluefish, just saying he could be better off riding a bike like Squidward
Mrs. Puff or sandy could've hired him to get pay back
This is why my grandma didn’t want me to watch SpongeBob in the first place after she saw this episode
I actually don't care who's copying who,they both create wonderful videos. You have my sub
Soda shops are an old school thing, I saw one a few years ago in Philly.
If he didn't need boating school, he wouldn't have flipped that garbage truck.
My and many peoples’ theory is that Flats simply wanted revenge for SpongeBob catching him with a net in “Sandy’s Rocket”
Nice theory, also, 3:33 nice Biltmore photo. I've been there once and it's a very cool tour.
"No such thing as a soda shop."
Me: *looks at Fizz and Swig* Guess my Utah soda shops are in my imagination.
If this theory was true where would Patrick get the money for a hit man?
i always knew mrs puff purposely told flats so he could beat up spongebob. I just never managed to find the other connections. I guess this is it
4:15 I assumed that this was an innuendo for a bar, since they’re adults. “I met my old community college friend at the bar.” makes more sense than all of this
I think Ms. Puff talking to flats is reflection of how teachers solve conflicts in their classroom
Or Flats is obsessed with Patrick and doesn't want Patrick to be Spongebob's friend.
Only Flats is Patrick's friend!
Mrs. Puff must ignore it as Flats kills or scares off Spongebob she is free to leave!
This is just...bad. It's easy to poke holes into it.
Flats can drive because you can know how to drive without a license.
Patrick DID go to community college because they will let literally anyone in.
Patrick doesn't have the type of money or connections needed to hire a hitman.
Patrick has no motive to want Spongebob gone.
I think Mrs. puff is behind it, she’s been trying to get SpongeBob out of her class for years
Everything is connected, like Dark Series
The fact that Flats is seen driving and enrolled in driving school is kinda a moot point. You can know how to drive a car but not know how to drive a commercial vehicle.
Think Puff hired Flats to get revenge and hopefully bully SpongeBob into dropping out of boating school.
You and Alex Bale should do a spongebob theory collaboration
i think i remember that the end of the episode, mrs puff just said "im gonna kick your butt" means "i want to be your friend" in his kind or smth?
I don't think Patrick even knew about the plan they just used him. As it'd community college Patrick could have gone there or alternatively flats could have easily given Patrick a false memory fo Community college so he just went along with it
Why does this sound like Alex Bale's format?? Is this another part of his ARG???
“Pops” in Oklahoma is a whole store devoted to selling soda😂
Soda store might be Patrick saying soda aisle in the store, but as you called it a soda shop. Soda shops are common in some regions in the US and Canada. It is called a malt shop in some areas. I have been to one a few times when in Indiana. It is also common to see in 50's based movies and shows. However as what looked to be a glass of tea was held up, I took it as the soda aisle in the store, just said in a Patrick sort of way. Though to be honest, the first time I watched that episode I took it as a pub/bar reference.
I think it's the Atomic Flounder, Flat's grandfather. SpongeBob attacked him and The Atomic Flounder can't fight anymore so he got his grandson who inherited his nuclear strength to kill SpongeBob as revenge for harassing him in public.
If you watch the episode where SpongeBob and Patrick capture ‘aliens’ flats is one of those fish who gets captured, so flats is just getting revenge
Nice video brother ❤️ we want more unique SpongeBob theories
More to come!
@@Mr.Cinian lots of love from india❤️
