Honestly i quite like video, nice job dude! I love alex bales spongebob theories but each one isnt flawless, even if theyre very well presented. Only issue i have is the claim that the scuba diver in no free rides isnt the narrator bc hes animated when hes definitely live action. Yeah hes a cut out but hes a cut out of a real live action guy, which is clear compared to the very animated spongebob world. Otherwise i dont have many problems
@@cocacolan1712 Also, Squidley, Squidward's ancestor, is under Patrick at the end of Dunces and Dragons but it could've simply been the octopus/squid neighbor himself dressed as a jester.
A few corrections: 1. The French Narrator from No Free Rides isn't animated. He is clearly a live action character photoshopped into SpongeBob's world. And they share the same voice, so they're definitely the same character. 2. The SB-129 theory is completely unsubstained, and given SpongeBob's universe, it is not entirely implausible for its events to occur. Same with Back to the Past's ending. Additionally, I understand that flashbacks can be seen by other characters, but it is never stated that this logic also applies to day dreams or in-universe imagination. 3. Dunces and Dragons is confirmed to not be a dream, thanks to its ending, where Squidward's medival ancestor is seen crushed underneath Patrick. 4. While there's a lot of decent evidence in the theory, I feel like the simple explanation is inconsistency and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy being superheroes. Realistic Fish Head is, well, a realistic fish head. While Bikini Bottom as a whole is inconsistent in size, that can be easily handwaved due to Mermaid Man's belt. And their skin being stretched is easily attributed to Toon physhics.
Then how do explain BB's long nose? And just because both divers have the same is normal. Plus it could be another one of Frenchy's friends. Maybe Patrick also thought Squidward, who happened to dress like ancestor, was his ancestor. How could the two have gotten back?
@@aidencalhoun4893 But BB's long nose? Also the French Narrator can be probably watching SpongeBob's driving via the camera. The person who Patrick was under presumably was Squidward who Patrick thought was Squidley (Squidward's ancestor).
Apparently there are two episodes of SpongeBob I know of, who’s titles elude me at this time, where we actually do see a full episode of the real mermaid man and barnacle boy show (likely not the new adventures of mermaid man and barnacle boy due to their lack of visible aging). One of these episodes is an uninterrupted (or nearly uninterrupted) episode of mermaid man and barnacle boy from start to finish about their villains teaming up to form a book club (“remember kids, it’s never illegal to read a book.”). However the other episode that is more relevant to the subject at hand shows mermaid man and barnacle boys’ backstories as to how they became superheroes and can breathe underwater (although it doesn’t explain how they became small, maybe they forgot to set the belt to wumbo? Idk…) mermaid man uses the starfish on his face as a rebreather of sorts while barnacle boy inhaled barnacles directly into his lungs.
So, to be fair, considering the new Spongebob movie [that primarily focuses on Sandy Cheeks] recently came out, I think the recording theory definitely applies (to an extent), as Sandy was basically being used to monitor Bikini Bottom by Texas marine biologists under the guise of science. Only, the rest of the world has yet to find out that Bikini Bottom actually exists and has talking sea creatures in it. Mermaid Man and Barnacle boy gained super powers from an accident when they were human. Sandy also has a shrink ray, and if we take the recent Spongebob film that revolves around Sandy, it's very clear that Sandy uses her shrink ray to shrink humans down to a comfortable size, usually the size of most sea creatures. The thing that isn't explained is how Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy found out about Sandy's shrink ray, or if they even interacted with Sandy.
Late asf but there are actual scenes of characters interacting with their imagination or thought bubbles. For example Mr.crabs squashing a plankton that is in his thought bubble.
@@xlamb7460 Well for one, just because Dutchman set the clock back doesn't mean it is time travel. First Spot says he will go in order and this I think is theory 4.
I believe animated French narrator is actually meant to be real life human but was cheaper to do animation at the time, that was an early episode, right? Season one of I remember
loved this video but many of these have been confirmed to be dreams but some of them do make you wonder how alex got to his point. Other then that I really enjoyed watching this, very underrated.
I can remember the show clearly explaining how MM&BB breath underwater, as far as I remembered its the starfish on MM nose and BB (I don't remember how) but for some reason inhaled so many barnacles and filled is lungs with it so that he can breath underwater too. please correct me if im wrong but does anyone else remembered this?
The French narrator is obviously not animated in that shot. I almost thought you were going to say he died on impact and as dumb as it is that would be less stupid than just denying the obvious reality that he's a shrunken human
Sandy being present for several other winter episodes while previously hibernating is easily explained as her hibernation being staged. She's from Texas so realistically even on land she wouldn't need to hibernate every year if at all
Winter could easily be staged by the showrunners considering the size of bikini bottom. Bikini bottom is clearly a tropical location that doesn't freeze over in the winter
A much more ridiculous but not impossible explanation for how Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy can breathe underwater is Jimmy Neutron's Air Gum from Nicktoons Unite.
3:37 I actually made a theory explain in this episode and how the show riders could have done well walking with dinosaurs dead and just use CGI over real world locations.
3:22 Or hack maybe the Maneval kingdom they were at was just in modern time and the people in that area have no idea how much things progress outside their community .
SB-129 is not a hallucination, Squidward did go back in the past and PL-1413 confirms the chrome future. Sandy has a Time machine and would be able to capture the footage throughout Time.
How are mermaid man and barnacle boy able to breathe underwater.... Hmmm.....maybe it's because superheroes have superpowers like how aqua man can breathe underwater...
Yeah, but I think what he’s trying to say is that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are not superhero’s and are instead actors. This would explain why ManRay acts like a friend to them in one episode.
The French narrator is not animated you can see like Green Screen around them I do think the Mr Krabs evidence is quite good tho Squidward, having a dream or imagination, doesn’t dismiss the television theory, because in the universe, we can see in their dreams and imagination, that’s a part of the lore Ok here’s a theory: Patchy calling the show a cartoon would imply that the show runners sometimes make up things in binki bottom by animation this explains why the animation is different sometimes because when it’s in 3d it’s humans in costumes and maybe sometimes they use cgi to make the costumes look like how the show normally looks so we never know what’s real and what’s fake What if skin theory is just actors using the wumbo belt to shrink themselves down with the real fish manipulating things to go as planned to the show this explains sandy being human and the chimps are fish spy’s from calub city we’ve seen humans suits in live action so it would make sense if cartoon fish wearing suits would be in cartoon I think sandy hibernating is just to throw sponge bob and Patrick off so that when she goes missing to talk to the show runners they can assume she’s hibernating I do think the mermaid man and barnacle boy evidence is true tho
@@lucasmatthiessen1570 well according to my theory that film is in 3d animation and sandy was in 3d to and 3d animation are costumes in the same movie sandys brother ask her “err Weren’t that the town you were. SPYING ON”. Sandy tries to shake it off because her brother just called her out lol at the end of the movie the humans are the same size as the characters cause by an invention THAT SANDY MADE!!! So my theory is still very possible any time you see the characters in 3d animation it’s just actors in the suit and we have seen the live action actors in the show In the SpongeBob anniversary!!!
I’m think that since Sandy is working with the humans she offers her inventions to them. One of which is a Time Machine that allows them to travel back in time for time travel episodes (or maybe the Flying Dutchman is also into this. Alex Bale made a theory that the Dutchman can time travel. This would explain why Shanghaied has three different endings) and a mind reader so they can see the characters thoughts. Also, I think the Survival Of The Idiots episode was a setup by Sandy. Because why would Sandy hibernate if she lives in a warm tree dome? And why would it even be snowing in the tree dome? Also, your Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy theory would explain why ManRay acts like a friend in that one episode.
8:20 my guess for sandy not hibernating later is maybe she got used to being in the water all year around but because that was early on she still had habits from the land.
Btw this theory was actually confirmed in Sandy movie and there's still a bunch of evidence we have literally seen live action humans in the show before,

Well, then how do you explain Mermaid Man's (and Patrick's) knowledge of "Wumbo"?
@seanalailima5929 well, it's MM's belt, so he'd know. But for Patrick... probably just dumb logic that worked.
@@aidencalhoun4893 But BB's long nose? Also the French Narrator can be probably watching SpongeBob's driving via the camera. The person who Patrick was under presumably was Squidward who Patrick thought was Squidley (Squidward's ancestor).
The French narrator in No Free Rides isn't animated. He is real life just like the French narrator in Feral Friends.

It’s not that far fetched in the SpongeBob universe

Next video, can you debunk Patchy the Pirate being the Flying Dutchman please?
Yeah that theory was definitely a stretch
I just watched that one last night… what the heck 😂
why?
What was wrong about it?
@@xlamb7460 Well for one, just because Dutchman set the clock back doesn't mean it is time travel. First Spot says he will go in order and this I think is theory 4.
Why is nobody talking about how the video just abruptly ends?
fr like no thanks for watching??? dickhead😂
Wow, making a stupid mistake 38 seconds into the video sure is embarrassing!
I believe animated French narrator is actually meant to be real life human but was cheaper to do animation at the time, that was an early episode, right? Season one of I remember
Season 2 actually but it's quite possible Frenchie was watching through a TV. Then again, it was earlier in the series and stuff had evolved.
Plus Manray was shown in tartar sauce in his episode, which means that must’ve been how he was caught
Well back to the last bikini bottom has paved roads so it’s probably early 1900s while the other Wild West episode is 1800-1850s
loved this video but many of these have been confirmed to be dreams but some of them do make you wonder how alex got to his point. Other then that I really enjoyed watching this, very underrated.
theyre both unanimated? And the time travel thing doesnt even make sense?

This sucks

Alex never claims Hans is a robot and there's nothing that suggests he is. Humans can absolutely be in bikini bottom as we've seen it several times

Ok here’s a theory: Patchy calling the show a cartoon would imply that the show runners sometimes make up things in binki bottom by animation this explains why the animation is different sometimes because when it’s in 3d it’s humans in costumes and maybe sometimes they use cgi to make the costumes look like how the show normally looks so we never know what’s real and what’s fake
What if skin theory is just actors using the wumbo belt to shrink themselves down with the real fish manipulating things to go as planned to the show this explains sandy being human and the chimps are fish spy’s from calub city we’ve seen humans suits in live action so it would make sense if cartoon fish wearing suits would be in cartoon
I think sandy hibernating is just to throw sponge bob and Patrick off so that when she goes missing to talk to the show runners they can assume she’s hibernating
I do think the mermaid man and barnacle boy evidence is true tho
I think Sandy is not a human because of her movie.

I think it's more likely that Mermaid Man and Barnicle Boy are superhumans, with the superpower to breath underwater.
The only thing that i debunk here is that you are trying to gain more subscribers by mentioning Alex Bale theory...

Sandy only hibernated when her treedome was going through a winter phase, never during winter outside her treedome.

It is.
