Sorry for the lack of videos these past few weeks. Things will pick back up again shortly in a few weeks. You can hopefully expect one or two more main videos this month and a podcast episode in the future! We're just about at 75,000 Subscribers too, which is amazing. I'll plan to do something for that too.
Thanks to Ryan's Treasures and a couple other people for sending me copies of the Shanghaied Season 2 DVD Commentary track. I gave it a listen and it was pretty underwhelming. Most of it is simple or boring technical talk. Very little new information we did not already know, though one of my suspicions with SpongeBob's ending was partially confirmed. Nevertheless, here it is: th-cam.com/video/WTQjxqnB2m8/w-d-xo.html
lol that was quick
NICKtendo is patchy the pirate JonTron?
I don't know about the US but the other ending have been broadcasted outside the us from time to time.
If you wanted any more info, your best bet would be tweeting at the storyboarders and seeing if they would respond. That is your best bet.
The dvd set sea story's also has the original airing of the episode and even allows you to pick the ending in the special features. I would suggest checking it out
I’ve never seen this advert but now that I have seen patchy wrestle a topless man I feel truly blessed
Same
We got to see Tom Kenny dressed as a Pirate wrestle a shirtless man in a pool.
In The Atlantis Resort at the Bahamas
you mean shirless
I was freaked out back when it aired... it felt like a weird adult movie and like I shouldn't be watching. I felt the same with Tom Kenny in the shower in "Neptune's Spatula."
I actually had no idea it was a contest until this very video!
I picked up a Spongebob DVD and saw that this episode was on it and I never seen it before so I was like "ok, I will watch this one" and thought Spongebob's ending was just how it came out. No contest or anything. Then I went to the DVD's special features to find Squidward's and Patrick's ending. I thought those were just special endings you can only see on the DVD. This whole time, I never thought it was a contest. The more you know....................
Holy shit was it spongebob sea stories DVD?? That was where I saw the alternate endings and never realized it was a contest
Was it sea stories or 1st 100 episodes dvd?
Sea Stories.
@@andykishore thanks. I replied that before Christmas and I got both Sea Stories and The First 100 Episodes for Christmas. I just found that out because of that. Thanks though.
Same!
I would have loved Patrick wasting the last wish on gum as the official ending though
It is in some countries
In my country (Chile) that was the ending they aired
That would be non-canon.
Then he chews it up, blows it into a sledgehammer shape and whacks the green pirate guy out of existance. Perfect ending right there.
@@Emeraldakafunnygamerguy Now, that's canon.
Be afraid of the....perfume department
Oh No! The P-p-p-p-Perfume Departament
AKA: The TH-cam community.
Oh no!!
Yo though to be real, that's how the perfume department used to be. *They were relentless creatures*
*montage of patrick and spongebob becoming intoxicated*
i remember enjoying the poor dubbing, it was funny to me, charming in a way
Its fine by me
i never noticed that it was dubbed over
I just thought that it was really poor lipsyncing.
8:00 I like that ta-da
I didn't even notice; I thought it was new dialogue.
I actually tried calling the number in the video and immediately they asked me for my age. What kind of things are they doing over at Nick?
I think that number was temporary and when it ended someone bought it
Oh shit dan schneider is on the line! Be careful he may pay you for tickles!
Probably a hooker, as we all know, the phone number connected to the “hit” NES game Who Framed Roger Rabbit is also a hooker.
Flixnfilms dan schneider strikes again
For real though it wasn’t like an erotic phone line, it was like one of those phone numbers that are trying to put your grandma and grandpa through healthcare or a nursing home. Not insane, but it still is weird that a historical number is now a spam phone number.
In Mexico, they accidentally air all the endings (along w the different “winners” versions and all the patchy segments) as a season 6 episode. No joke, They air all three segments three times one after another lol. There were no changes, they are all the same as the ones aired in the contest aside from Patchy saying different commentary and jokes. I’ll try recording it next time it airs. I had no idea it was lost media.
Yes, after this segments Canal 5 broadcast the episode "the curse of hex"
The ultimate experience
I'm always a sucker for videos about obscure things in media
Bonus points for the SpongeBob SuperSponge music usage
Same here, honestly it creeps me out and educates me while filling the void of not growing in the 90s but wishing I did with weird things I might have possibly known about
He used spongebob battle for bikini bottom too, so that got my like.
He should do a video about Toonami: Trapped in Hyperspace, the 2002 Cartoon Network website game that mysteriously just... disappeared. We've found a beta from the developer Patrick Thiel, but it's not the fun stuff with Swayzak. "You'll NEVER defeat us!" (Swayzak had a New Zealand accent; New Zealanders sometimes use "we" and "us" instead of "I" and "me.")
@@unwelldanny7108 No, he had "lackeys."
I remember this vividly (hell I remember even voting) and to answer one question, this episode was marketed HEAVILY for at least a whole month
Kind of a random question, but who did you vote for?
Pretty sure I voted Squidward, because even as a kid I KNEW everyone would vote for Spongebob
Ah nice and wAIT- your prince of all toasters! I totally loved your YTPs man.
BTW, do you remember the Toonami Trapped in Hyperspace event? That was also heavily promoted for at least a whole month (This was a year after the SpongeBob episode) and the game tie-in for that is lost to the ages. I want to hear Swayzak with a New Zealand accent saying you suck!
@@princeofalltoasters8813 I voted for Squidward too.
As a Brazilian kid who watched a fair share of spongebob, this episode was a bit of a mystery for me. I knew it only as the origin for the perfume department meme, because I never actually saw it on television! To be fair, Patchy episodes aired *very* sparingly here. My best chance of watching them was though DVD releases. I don't doubt a PT-BR version exists out there, but I never got to see it.
jujucatjuca Hey, I'm brazilian and I never watched this episode on television too! But it exists In PT/BR. I was watching the second season on Netflix and bum, here it was. When I saw it, it was weird. I'm a big spongebob fan and I didn't remember the episode, but I thought that it was my fault.
Enfim, não sei porque escrevi em inglês QUSHQUSHW, mas eu n sei se ainda tem lá na Netflix, dá uma checada
Não sabia! Tava procurando pra baixar, nem lembrava q tinha bob esponja na netflix ksdhkdfh
Vou ver agora, obrigada pela dica!
I am Brazilian too and i remember the episode. The brazilian version got the patrick ending
I am also brazilian and I can confirm this episode actually did air on tv like once,it was the edited version and I dont even remnber the ending but I think it was spongebob´s? It might also have been patricks
jujucatjuca weird,im brazilian And o swear i Saw the three versions on TV
“What are you going to do when your shows over”
Me: It will never be over
Here in latin América, Nickelodeon normally airs the patrick ending for some reason, never saw the other endings because nick never airs here those endings
Woah how interesting....
I live in Latin America and I've only seen the Spongebob ending...
@@karlapinkie7697 It probably depends on Where in Latin America you live, American TV stations are weird like that.
@@andykishore i don't think so. Here in Argentina the Patrick ending is the only one they air, and is the only one available on Netflix.
When I saw this episode on TV in Venezuela it had Patrick's ending I always thought it was a weird ending, didn't know all this contest thing, very intersting.
Oh man, I know about those lost Patchy segments and the weird dubbing, this is gonna be good
Tom Kenny sucks.
No
Yes
Yes
No
rabbitearsguy no yes
I speak spanish, I can confirm that religion exists in the spongebob universe
Wooo-what...
Wat
wow
Am I the only one who’s heard Spongebob say “oh my god” in English? I’m so confused as to how Patchy saying “what the hell” is proof but that isn’t, unless I imagined it... my head hurts 😂
Thank you. I needed this information.
The poor lip sync for the “Patchy’s Pick” version was always weird to me. Even after finding out about the “You Wish” special, it never occurred to me that the lip sync being off is due to dubbing new dialogue.
Here, in Mexico, the open tv version (idk about the nickelodeon), was, strange
Because, they didn't put the long version
But, like a few times they pass a version saying about a contest, the alternative endings, but never saying how they won
Yeah, we manage the episodes in strange ways
iirc there were some airings of the episode were actually the new version but with one of the alternative endings.
it was almost like a Mandela effect around those times, since i had friends that were 100% sure the Patrick ending was the real one, and i remember watching the Squidward one first.
I can confirm this, my aunt gets the Mexican channels and they showed the contest version.
Really? I recall watching the episode in Mexico several times and each and every time it would show squidwards ending
Recuerdo haberlo visto también hace poco tiempo y fue una experiencia muy extraña xD
Hi Axel, for some weird reasons, Canal 5 broadcast this segments randomly, even if the first part of the episode was not broadcast; then the episode, the curse of hex start to be transmitted.
8:01 Since I’m Canadian, I was never aware of the contest and things like that lipsynching confused the crap out of me until I heard this was all part of a contest. In Canada, we just aired the episode w/Gary takes a bath, and when I got the Sea Stories DVD, I was really surprised to see it had alternate endings. I was like “Wha? Why this episode?”
TheCartoonGamer8000 that was pretty much the case here in Mexico as well
I knew about Shanghaied. I knew nothing about the You Wish special. Back when I would have seen Shanghaied it would have been adjacent to Gary Takes a Bath and I never would have noticed the badly redubbed Patchy segments.
What're you talking about? Those aren't banned.
They are not - I've seen them countless times.
@@PixelatedIvan They were banned? I remember seeing them.
You should reach out to Tom Kenny
Too late
@@Alexander2142 He'ß still alive you know
I somehow did a German S and I don't know how and I don't want to remove it
For those who weren’t aware. Shangheid did get a rerun on Snick a day after the airing (the Saturday block of Nick) with just SpongeBob’s ending. After the original airing in the credits, patchy does explain it that the episode would play again.
I remember that!
Do you remember what episode it was paired up with originally?
Allright, if anyone gets the chance, someone ask Tom Kenny if they filmed any alternate Patchy segments. He would know!
The “spongebob second season” song hit me with a blast of nostalgia. We used to own that dvd.
Same here! I remember singing along whenever I watched my SpongeBob Movie DVD. The second season isn't as good as the first season, though. I remember being really little (3) and watching Scaredy Pants premiere. That was my first episode. And I knew there wasn't a cut scene in IWATG, because my mom taped it for me to watch anytime I wanted.
Wait, the Flying Dutchman is a ghost, so couldn’t the trio just have escaped his stomach?
He has his eating sock
@@brycejohnson7 bruh
@@KevinLuper99 yeah?
@@brycejohnson7 I died
Jonathan Sketches good point unless The Flying Dutchman killed them before eating them.
I actually have a special DVD with Shanghaied on it that let's you pick which ending you want when selecting the episode, it was pretty cool and I'm glad to have it in my collection
I always hated Patchy as a child. Can’t say I particularly like him today, but now that I know he’s played by Tom Kenny, I can find some charm to him.
Nobody likes the Patchy segments.
@@unwelldanny7108 That's not true.I loved Patchy and still love him today.Sue me.
Potty was always the cooler one
@@eineperson666 Yeah, they were crappy, and I loved them! Especially the "SpongeBob B.C." one (no thanks in part to a certain YTP that no one's ever gonna reupload.)
7:40 I always thought something was weird with patches dialogue here and how it doesn't line up with his lips. This video really helps with explaining that mystery
If I remember correctly, in other countries where the voting took place, Squidward and Patrick won in other countries. I don't remember what countries these were, but I know that in those countries, the re-airings always play the winner of the countries choice. Though I'm not sure if there was any footage of Patchy announcing the winner in the other countries. I sure as heck said countries a lot in this comment haven't I?
TheMariostarr So it’s like Total Drama, where there are different winners in other countries.
Ex: Spongebob won in the US, Squidward won in Spain, and Patrick won in France*
*non confirmed
@@ChorusKids from other comments, the Patrick ending airs a lot in Latin American countries
In Latin America i think it was pretty mixed between squidward and patrick because on the wiki it mentions squidward winning but the patrick ending seems to air a lot as well. As for France i don't think they did the contest thing at all.
Chorus Kid Wait, WHAT!?
Elijah Davallos what
the alternate endings of Shanghaied on dvd scared the shit out of me when I was young
And not the subliminal message girl picture from Gary Takes a Bath? Or Swayzak from Toonami?
Why did the alternate endings scared you?
@@unwelldanny7108 Two things: My friend Cassie looked like that girl, and I had a crush on Swayzak.
Yooooo! Super cool to see my You Wish promo video featured in this. Really wish I could say I have more footage or promos related to the special, but sadly that's all that was recorded on the tape.
Do you remember Toonami's Trapped in Hyperspace game by any chance? I'm looking for that. It was the game that had Swayzak straight-up insult you at the end of each level. I don't want to know what insecure kids felt playing this game... We need to find people who were degraded by Swayzak. Have them come together and unite under a sole cause to find the sentient computer virus who insulted them all those years ago.
@@unwelldanny7108 I was one of them. "I'll get you soon!"
Great video, Nick! I'm pretty sure you know this already, but the Sea Stories DVD features all 3 endings, but I think the actual episode is the recut version.
The First 100 Episodes even has the Patchy voting segments from what I've heard.
Sea Stories has all three endings but they include the entire episode so it doesn't cut to the ending so you have to watch Shanghaied 3 times or fast foward to watch all 3 endings. The Play All feature and VHS version shows the regular SpongeBob ending as if you watched it on TV today.
Yeah I still have this DVD
@@rudytabootie9561 I remember it being a burden to fast forward just so I could watch Patrick and Squidward's endings.
I still remember the day it was released !! So young and I even tried calling the number they displayed during the segments! Brings back so many memories
I remember calling the contest number as a kid! I was so excited to get to help choose the ending and asked my parents to help me dial the number on our landline phone. I remember a person's voice on the other end asking me which ending I wanted, and I happily cast my vote for Spongebob. I figured Patrick would wish for something stupid and Squidward would just wish for them to be home again, so Spongebob's would be the most interesting of the three. Now I finally know how the other wishes went! Thanks for making this video and teaching me something new about a fond memory from my childhood.
I voted for Squidward. He was my favourite character back then.
This episode's alternate endings have been really interesting to me for a long, long time.
So is the true original version considered lost media then?
Sadly, the Lost Media Wiki doesn't seem to have an article on it.
Nah, I have it recorded on home video. And Jurassic Park. And every Macy's Parade since 1997.
@@spartanforce7 I supposed you're unable to upload it online
Well it's on VHS. You know, analog video. I'll look up if there's a way to convert it to a readable signal, but it's not very likely. I can, however, confirm that the commercial break is almost thirteen minutes long.
Well I suppose they needed to count the votes.
I own the DVD that has all three endings on it (I can’t remember the name of the collection but the DVD cover was Spongebob’s body) and boy did it blow my mind that I could watch those whenever as a kid
I love that you’re covering this, it’s taking me WAY back
Spongebob Sea Stories DVD?
Taking you WAY back? Wait until they cover Toonami: Trapped in Hyperspace.
@@unwelldanny7108 You'll never defeat us!
It aired in the Phillippines as Shanghaied. Never noticed the bad dubbing, though that might be because I was like eight when I first saw it. I could never tell why this episode had the big "this-is-a-special" Patchy segments when it was pretty much a regular episode otherwise. I theorized if it was because the Flying Dutchman was in it or maybe it was a retroactive special because the perfume scene became iconic. This video explains EVERYTHING.
Yeah, that ad shown is the one I remember. They aired it for like a good month or so beforehand. I do also remember there were some banners on Nick.com. They were pushing this special very hard. Also, yeah, I definitely remember the episode didn't re-air for years. By the time it started airing again, I had completely forgotten about it. It was like the episode of South Park "Jared Has AIDS", which didn't re-air for the better part of a decade.
Do you remember Toonami's Trapped in Hyperspace event by any chance? The game that tied in is lost media. I can say that Swayzak appeared on banners on CartoonNetwork.com promoting the game/event, but the highlight of the game was apparently Swayzak showing up at the end of each level and straight-up degrading you in a New Zealand accent. At the end of the game, HE LOST IT. "NOOOOOOOO! WHYYYYYYY?" (Note I was born a week after the event. I just like obscure media.)
@@unwelldanny7108 I remember seeing the ads, but I never played the game. When I was a kid, I never went on Cartoon Network's website for some reason.
@@unwelldanny7108 Swayzak was hot for this 6 year old girl. I liked his Kiwi accent. I have the strangest memory of him using computer terminology based insults, like "blasted byte" (IIRC.) I used to walk into my classroom saying those insults, and my teachers would give me strange looks.
for some reason, the mystery of this lost footage has been super interesting to me for a long time (to the point where i’m considering dishing out $50 to buy the first 100 episodes dvd, which i don’t need since i already have the season dvds, solely to have some of the patchy segments). don’t worry, you’re not alone
I called the number it questioned me if i was 60
ok
ok
ok
ok
Ok
When I saw this and voted as a kid, I was convinced that the voting was rigged and it was going to be Spongebob no matter what.
You have not changed my mind.
"Can I have some extra salt?"
"No we're all out."
Me: YOU'RE IN AN *O C E A N*
Justice for Patchy! He deserves more recognition
"patchy says hell, confirming that there is indeed religion in the spongebob canon" why did that make me laugh so much
This actually make sense, when i would watch Shanghaied back then and even now, I always found it weird how patchys mouth didnt really match with the audio being played in the opening segment of Shanghaied. Now it all makes sense.
I didn't notice. I just thought they'd refilmed it.
The three endings are also included on the spongebob dvd “Sea Stories”. My sister was so sad seeing Patrick’s ending
Patrick and Squidward's endings seem way too similar, and it doesn't make sense that the 2 had pretty much the same ending while Spongebob's ending is just so much unique.
Maybe they made stock endings for them if they got out?
I remember watching this live. I'm pretty sure I called in and voted for Patrick, although that might be a reconstructed memory.
Do you remember the Trapped in Hyperspace event Toonami did a year later? I'm looking for the game that tied in the the on air segments, which is lost media, and featured Swayzak (the main antagonist and a sentient computer virus) straight-up degrading you in an unexplained New Zealand accent.
@@unwelldanny7108 I sure do. "You'll never defeat us!"
Great video! I never saw that original contest just the spongebobs ending version. This was fascinating and now I really wanna watch some spongebob :)
Interesting. I always thought the episode was odd when I originally watched it.
I noticed some horrible dubbing in the live action segments, so I really want to thank you for sharing this info since so many of my friends thought the dubbing was odd.
I didn't know anything about Shanghaied having alternate endings, until I watched it on the 100 episodes DVD. Imagine my shock when I realized how big of a deal this episode was back when it aired.
It would be awesome if they did a contest like this for a new episode.
Squid noir kinda was
Braden Boutwell How so?
I Remember Having A DVD Of Shanghaied and In The Extra Features You Could See Squidwards wish And Patrick's Wish
11:22 Oh my god. I watched that promo for the second season live on TV when I was little. That means I’ve been watch Spongebob for at least 16 years, and I still love it. Also, I remember watching the edited version of Shanghaied way back when it first started airing. It’s an episode that I’ve only seen twice on TV and haven’t thought about until watching this. I had no idea about the contest, but I don’t have any memories from the year 2001 apart from watching Spongebob in general and eating Goldfish crackers a lot.
Funnily enough, on an unrelated note, I also remember seeing Attack of the Clones in theaters and thinking it was good, especially after the masterful Phantom Menace I watched on VHS. Years later, I got the Complete Saga Blu-ray collection and my childhood memories of Star Wars fell apart when I realized I had never seen the original trilogy because I thought it was boring. I also really liked the Clone Wars animated movie, which isn’t actually that bad if anyone even remembers that.
How about Toonami's Trapped in Hyperspace event? That's another topic: the Trapped in Hyperspace game is LOST MEDIA. Swayzak taunting you in a New Zealand accent is like one of the unsung highlights of 2002.
@@unwelldanny7108 I used to think Swayzak had an Aussie accent back then.
How interesting! You know, I had this SpongeBob DVD as a kid that featured this episode, and it actually had all three endings! It didn't have any of the Patchy segments though. But I was always curious why three endings were made for this show, but now I know!
Tony hawk screaming into the close up was golden.
I remember hating this special as a kid because I never saw the voting version and the dubbed and edited patchy stuff didn’t make any sense. And then I got the 100 episodes dvd set and saw the voting version for the first time and was like “this makes so much more sense now!”
Finally, years ago i watch this special in channel 5 of México and i always asked myself why did they put 4 segments of "Parche el pirata" and then repeat the ending with squidward and Patrick and spongebob as winners of a Fake contest, thank you for Let me know that it was a piece in spongebob history.
Un saludo pa' la raza latina que pudo ver esto antes que los gringos xd
DerpyZoroark Aaahh, canal 5, por que era el unico canal con caricaturas si no tenias cable jajaja. Ademas del 7 con los simpsons nada mas.
Hay algo interesante sobre en hacer busqueda en este especial
(There's something interesting about reseahing to this special)
In Mexico I remember seeing that episode a couple of times and it usually had the Squidward ending, this was around 2003 or 2004. When I moved to the U.S. around 2008 the ending was always the Spongebob ending. Also in nicktoons channel the ending was sometimes switched between the 3 on reruns and I never noticed the difference between the Patrick or Squidward endings until now. Great video and love finding origins of classic shows.
Bro your the best for making this I was originally going to do this because no one bothered to do it thank Neptune we have you
I remember seeing phones in some live action shots of shanghaied and I was confused why there were so many phones, and then you uploaded this and it all made sense...
Patchy hyping up opening a letter without us knowing what it even is actually funny
Eyyy thanks for the shoutout, man! Been looking forward to seeing my art pop up in a video, and what a video for it to pop up on.
Oddly enough, while I don’t remember You Wish, I do remember seeing the scene with Dutchman having eaten the cast, although I’m not sure where. Maybe it was reused? Or it could just be good ol false memories. Who knows?
Great video as to be expected, keep it up!
Nice jorb, whoever you are.
Maybe you used to have the "Sea Stories" DVD. That one had the poorly dubbed version but on the special features you could SEA the alternate endings. Or you live in another country.
I was a wee lad living in México killing time in 2005 watching spongebob most of the time and they aired this episode quité a lot back then but there's a catch, over here they aired the 3 different endings at random so i was always confused about that since i remembered different things everytime, also the patchy the pirate lines were the ones from the dubbed version except on the spongebob ending where he actually talks about the contest and the number appears on screen it was weird, by the way have you checked the episode in the gameboy video version? There might be something else to find in there
Master Papa En canal 5 o Nick?
Nick era el que veía más en ese entonces pero seguramente en canal 5 con sus segmentos de hasta 2 horas pudieron pasar las 3 versiones
Master Papa Me ha pasado
GBA Video? I didn't know that there was a SpongeBob GBA Video. I didn't know GBA Video was a thing at all until watching Nintendrew's video.
@@toopienator and who asked you?
Townsville was actually destroyed during the special's airing.
The You Wish phone number was actually that for the Powerpuff hotline, meaning that whilst the speicla was on, the Mayor could not call the Powerpuff Girls.
He got a vote message, and he voted Squidward.
Tom Kenny is also the Narrator. LMAO
Last time I was this early, Sonic Mania was still a digital release.
I remember when I first saw this episode I thought the patchy segments where dubbed because he died while filming, like that one Bruce lee movie, but now I know why and i want to thank you. Thank you
When I first saw this episode it was the re-aired/edited version, and it was a bit confusing on the Patchy segments. But when I saw about its history I was kinda surprised and interested. Great video as always Nick.
PS: Hoping your planning to do a video about the 1st season of the Ducktales reboot soon.
I remember this entire episode!!! I have seen all 3 endings of the episode! I think I had it on dvd at my grandmas house.
This was really interesting, I'd love to see you make more videos like this
I use too watch this episode on dvd all the time as a kid when we went on road trips. Always wondered why I never saw it on tv. But it had all the endings you could watch. 😅
I remember when the episode premiered and I made my dad record the episode on VHS, one of the only times I ever recorded an episode on video. Though I dunno if it was the original premiere or the Gary Takes a Bath version. I just remember an All-That special aired directly afterwards.
.....HOLY SHIT I NEED TO FIND THAT VIDEOTAPE
*FARMGIRL PICTURE APPEARS WITH HIGH-PITCHED GIGGLE*
sorry, every time Gary Takes a Bath is discussed, that scene comes to my mind.
@@unwelldanny7108 My third grade classmate Cassie looked like that girl.
I remember seeing this episode. I was deathly afraid as a kid though, so I'm lucky I can remember the perfume scene.
I remember watching this live, and I voted for Squidward because he didn’t get one.
It was just fair that he got one, wasn't it? Too bad his ending's the dullest of the three...
Me too.
i actually remember going to a library and renting a copy of a spongebob dvd when i was little. it had all three endings on it, and i was really confused as to why. thanks, now i’m glad i know! i just wish i’d been alive/old enough to comprehend a computer during the times these kinds of episodes were aired.
I am 75% sure we have an old recording of the original air of this episode somewhere due to the fact that I remember watching the other two endings despite the fact that I was a literal baby at the time. I don't know if we still have the recordings but if I find them I'll be sure to share anything...however it's likely that the commercial parts were cut out since the only person who'd want to record it would've been my older brother and he was a young kid at the time and kids typically don't want the commercials in their recordings. To be honest I don't even know if this fabled tape exists or if I just somehow managed to see the endings some other way when I was younger (since I remember watching the episode when I was older than a baby but I couldn't have been more than 8, meaning it had to have been some type of recording). So, yeah. I don't think this really helps but at least now you know this weird story I guess. Also off topic but does anyone remember those scratch and sniff stickers that came with the Rugrats - Wildthornberries crossover special? Those stunk.
Oh my god I remember those stickers
@@AdamSmith-hy4tm Same here!
5:28 Little did we know, that this image would spark another lost media mystery.
I remember that ad!!
I remember seeing a Ad in Nickelodeon magazine back in the day for this episode telling people to vote in, i am glad i am not the only person to remember this happening. i always thought the ending was weird when it first aired. i remember voting for Patricks ending
When you voted, could you see the clips you would be voting on or did you just pick your favourite character? How would it have worked over the phone?
@@owenbillo5513 You weren't able to see the clip on the website, it was just a poll with each characters picture next to the option. im guessing though calling would work just like how it did for the kids choice awards back then, having to have a parent tell the Nick rep that i would have permission to cast a vote and you would tell them your choice. atleast thats how it worked during the Rosie o Donald NKCA
@@SoulStorm360 I remember that! I voted Peter Parker for "Favourite Male Butt Kicker" in the 2003 KCAs.
I feel like if I saw the clip of the three articles of clothing on the plate while The Flying Dutchman was chilling when I was a kid, I would've been MASSIVELY upset and probably not watch the show afterwards.
Hell, I'm a high school senior and it kinda upsets me.
In Belgium (or France it's the same thing), Shanghaied was normally aired. No context footage, or alternate endings, just the normal episode with the vegan ending
Same for Poland.
I remember calling in during the premier and being stuck on hold for so long I never got to vote. It was still a cool event though.
I remember seeing the alternate endings in the season 2 (I believe) DVD collection as a kid and being so confused why they didn't play the other ones on TV. The Squidward ending where they swap Squidward with a clone is my favorite.
Yeah but I disliked Squidward and Patrick's ending due to the Flying Dutchman getting away with eating them and the characters just being stupid. I wonder if the writers loved the Flying Dutchman and hated the trio while making them. That'll make sense since the other endings are just basically the Dutchman just eating them and getting away with it. SpongeBob's ending shows that the creators wanted to give them a third chance and them trying to escape while the Flying Dutchman isn't too lucky to catch them entirely. Now was it just me or did I just explain You Wish lore right there?
I hope that Patchy is living his best life being a lifeguard at a random resort
Leedle leedle leedle lee!
abt a year ago I was playing old episodes of spongebob on some free online site while I worked as some background noise. I almost breezed over this episode because I was busy, but then it cut to a scene of patchy sitting at desk talking about a contest so I zoned into spongebob because I’d literally never seen it; squidy & pat making wishes and getting eaten ‘n all. I’d seen it with spongebobs ending so many times throughout the years, it felt like something I wasn’t supposed to see lmao
Canada (well YTV where I watched the show) never got the contest version so I didn't even know the episode had a different title. I've only ever known it has shanghaied and only with the Spongebob ending. It's pretty neat to hear there were different endings even if they were lackluster. (And a choose the ending contest sounds like a fun gimmick)
I remember now!!!! I watched the episode when it first came out and voted on it but since I didn't see a rerun of it for a long time I thought I had dreamt the voting part. It's a great episode even without the gimmick
I remember seeing this episode in the Sea stories dvd and thinking it felt weird that they were different endings. But now I can feel safe knowing what where those other endings for. Thanks Nick! Also I think Gary takes a bath might’ve been done around the ending of season 2 seeing that the animation(Spongebob’s color mostly) were a bit different than the others from that season.
Could've been, which would explain why it didn't air until around season 3. But the off coloring's actually due to an error that the majority of season 2 episodes have on the 100 Episodes set, seems normal on the Sea Stories dvd
Procrastination
Now see, I remember having a DVD of the Shanghied episode that had the alternate endings as bonus content, and I'm pretty sure they had the original episode as well with the contest cut? It was one of the DVD sets that had that episode as the main pull and then a couple of additional episodes from the season.
I actually remember a re-run of the original episode, or at least a version of the episode with the original "You Wish" opening with the beach and the bank of Reel-to-Reel tapes behind Patchy, being aired on one of the Nick channels sometime between 2007 and 2010, but I don't recall the ending. I remember being surprised because I missed the original airing and thought it was some kind of new content I had never seen! I "Wish" I could remember more though...😅
Are you in another country by any chance??

My brain is like, destroyed when it comes to remembering things from 17 years ago, but I think I remember this special...sort of.
I remember watching the You Wish premiere when i was really little. I thought the voting thing was just a joke at the time. I even remember wondering what happened to that episode for the two years they aired no reruns. They finally aired it after the All That Funniest Kid in America special and before the premiere of Gary Takes a Bath, but without the patchy segments. I was pleasantly surprised since they had only advertised that Gary Takes a Bath was premiering (i even remember the funny promo they aired in which a French chef working for nickelodeon answers spongebob's call). It wasn't until 2004 i think when they started airing Shanghaied with the edited Patchy segments. Thanks for finding this!
I remember the All That special!! I was so jealous of the kid who got picked. I thought _I_ was funny, because my humor was "EdGy" and inspired by Adult Swim shows. Of course, their meanings were all mangled by my seven year old mind.
The "No this is Patrick" clip made me like this video.
Actually, the original version of Shanghaied was actually released on the Sea Stories DVD as well, so there are 2 releases of that version of the episode on DVD.
I watched this live as a young child with my dad he called and voted for me. I don’t remember who I voted for, but I remember being so hyped for this episode so there had to be a lot of ads for it I believe.
Damn, I remember I watched that episode when it first was shown. My brother and I did call in hoping that Squidward ending would end. Only to watched and find out that Sponge Bob won. What we didn't get and still don't is how his ending always so different. Even back then we said that they cheated because it felt too different. I remember watching it all and it didn't feel like live action. When recording with Live Action the cameras are different. Back in the early 2000's, this was more award than it is now. I also remember they show this event at 8pst/11est. That does mean we were watching a film show. Consider if it was live we would have been watching at 5pst/8est. I feel like they assumed the ending and recorded it.
11 PM would be Nick at Nite.
Strangely enough, I don't have a vivid memory of watching this episode when it premiered, but I do have a vivid memory of Nickelodeon promoting the heck out of "Gary Takes a Bath" and when they started to air the episode, this aired instead. I remember going "Hey I've seen this episode before, what happened to 'Gary Takes a Bath'?"
SURPRISE SECOND SEASON AD!!!!
Shandhaied is probably, my favorite episode actually, along with Pizza Delivery and Band Geeks.
I distinctly remember seeing the original airing. It was insanely hyped up at the time--I specifically remember there was a blurb about it in that week's TV Guide.
I too was always shocked by how long it took for that episode to be rerun, especially considering Nickelodeon's insufferable habit of reruning stuff all the time back then. I watched Nick a lot back then and for whatever it's worth, I never saw the original version with the multiple endings and patchy segments ever again. For awhile I wondered if I'd imagined it or something. Seeing it come back as the second half of Gary Takes a Bath was a surprise but I wondered what had happened to the other two segments.
It was overall one of the weirdest things Nickelodeon has ever done. As you say, the other two endings weren't even that funny or interesting so why even have the contest?
I watched it on the Sea Stories VHS; so it wasn't shocking to see it come back. I saw Gary Takes a Bath before it premiered on TV because of that VHS, same with (IIRC) the Friend or Foe DVD and Goo Goo Gas.
