SORRY FOR THE SOUND ERROR IN 3:03!! It only lasts for a minute, and ya can still hear my commentary so, I won't be changing it. If this were any other day I'd just reupload it but, I gotta keep makin' traumathon episodes nonstop LMAO SO ENJOY!
8:44 Truth be told, I haven't been doing okay. My boyfriend of four years left me and potentially cheated on me. He told me he's gotten over it and I should too. I really planned my life with this guy, and the past two weeks have been a blur of getting blackout drunk and getting high in the forest. These small reminders from people, even strangers, really help in the rough times we have. Having a stranger tell you it's gonna be okay is a reminder that other people are going through problems and im not the only one struggling. Im not dealing with my grief in the most healthy way, but I'm not the only one grieving.
Don't worry, you aren't alone in this. I know what it's like to be betrayed by those you love and care for, and you thought did the same. But as for my case, it wasn't a lover, it was my own flesh and blood. My own brother betrayed me. My brother stabbed me, and pretty much the entire family, in the back. Abandonee this family, including my nephew, his own son. My sister left too, but when I was real little. But now I know the sting of betrayal, and worst of all, by my own Kin. But I had hoped my brother wouldn't leave. My sister is dead to me for what she did. I had genuinely hoped from the bottom of my heart that I wouldn't have to say the same about my brother. My only friend moved away, My Pa's gone, and My Ma is getting old and senile. Her mind is decaying with old age, and it hurts having to watch and do nothing about it. I have nobody left, all I can do is tell myself: "Just keep going, you'll make it through. I promise" And hope that I'm not lying to myself. Now, I don't know how close you'll hold some strangers word on the internet, But Just keep your head up, alright? That goes for anybody struggling with anything. I know the night just got darker, but it won't last forever.
grief from heartbreak is a universal bitch but its ubiquity is kinda what makes it comforting . it always helps me to think about how the pain i feel has been felt by someone else somewhere and chances are theyre probably out there living their life having been able to overcome the grief . and how i can do that too . everything will be okay :) it will get better because it always does eventually, this shit isnt linear .
It's okay friend, I'm in a similar boat right now too. Feels like I'll never feel secure in another relationship again. And I know what's like to pour everything you have into this one person for them to just leave you. We'll get through it, much love to you stranger
11:59 To add on to this, the credits theme was used in the show often. At least in early seasons. And every time it was used, it was usually for situations where the characters feel awkward, or when something inconvenient is happening.
Yo, you talking about the specific fear of SpongeBob DVD credits actually brought back a memory of me sometimes waking up to my SpongeBob DVD having just ended and playing back, like, 8 episodes worth of credits. It really did give me a weird sense of anxiety to the point that I had to figure out how to make it repeat when the last episode ended so I never had to have that happen again.
The credits of spongebob always just gave me a feeling a sadness and when I first heard it as a kid, it honestly made me realize that everything will end eventually, it literally made me conscious of the mortality of things as a kid
The SpongeBob one I get it so much, I always thought it feels kind of empty and it is a space where you just have to wait for it to end. Also I also think it dragged on too long
When watching the V/H/S 1 segment "10/31/98" I always tripped on why those arms and hands coming out of the walls looked so familiar. Justin is a part of Radio Silence!
The Spongebob credits song "sounds like someone smiling at you"?!? That's absolutely chilling. Also as soon as you said you bought some DVDs I knew where it was going bc I've experienced the exact same thing. I don't like the way the song loops, it sounds kinda off. Also the constant droning repetition of ukelele in the background is ominous, like someone creeping up on you.
im born in the middle ground of where this is considered nostaglic and people might consider me to young to understand this sorta stuff, but hearing the outro of spongebob just sent a wave of dread over me, like something was glaring at me, i remember being an infant being and terrified of that theme, id always hide under a sheet or blanket cause to me that song was like a timer, you HAD to hide before that final note was played
Those are my exact thoughts when it comes to the Spongebob ending theme. It always felt liminal and melancholic. Sort of floaty and unreal. I was never scared of it, but it did make me feel. Off. Like something wasn't quite right. I loved it though because that feeling fascinated me. It was like a special treat when I got to see it, like ooh my brain gets to feel weird and mushy again :]
its crazy that so many people find the spongebob credits scary and uncomfortable when it personally brought me so much comfort as a kid! i always left the dvd menu playing over and over just so i could hear the music, and i look foward to hearing it at the end of early season episodes!
Glad you showed some love for Jaws. The Ben Gardner head reveal is one of those jumpscares that really rattled me when I first watched it, and it's a great prosthetic too.
The first time I watched Jaws, I was like 10, and that moment was the one that really scared me. The rest of the movie was not my thing until I was a bit older.
I feel like we found the Spongebob credits disturbing, because it represents the moment the escapism ends and we have to go back to reality. Atleast that's my im14andthisisdeep explanation of it. Also, that hand demon video is still one of the coolest horror videos on TH-cam.
As a kid I felt really lonely when the credits would roll, so ur kinda right. Esp when it’s late at night and now u can’t drown out all the beasts and ghoulls lurking in the darkness lmao
I had something sort of like that Spongebob ending theme, but for me I fell through a window and had to go to the ER for stitches. While I was there, every single room was playing Two and A Half Men, not unusual tbh. I'm sitting in a room with my mom waiting to be seen, and the episode ends, but when the ending song came on it just kept going. Like, so long my mom, and when the doctor finally arrived, both commented on how long it was going too. We turned off the TV, but even on the way out I noticed that shit was still going.
for me, it was the end credits to ms spider, not much creeped me out besides the damned teletoon logo at the end! i also got unnerved by the jimmy neutron end credits; the splat and a bit of the credit music plus jimmy going "Gotta blast" used to creep me out. also, animation wise; this one below this text is one of my favorite moments since of how it stuck with me; big spoiler for the season 2 ending of ATLA(Avatar: the last airbender) so, Aang chooses to go into the avatar state in order to save those around him, but mid ascending-- Azula uses her lightningbending to strike Aang down; succeeding and causing the main protagonists to lose all hope since Aang(The Avatar) Was just mortally wounded and was now knocked out cold because of that, which also caused him to lose any sort of connection with the avatar state, since lore wise; you have to kill the avatar while they are in the avatar state in order to end the existence of an avatar as a whole. but that scene; it awoke something in me, that being a love for a little hurt/comfort subgenre called; WHUMP
@@Jerry_the_Head For me, it was the Ed Edd n Eddy credits. Their smiling faces with the pitch black background did numbers on me, as well as the "aka cartoons" logo.
ok for the spongebob one. The reason why it always creeped me out is that whenever I saw it was when it was night time. Especially this one time when I was at my grandmas house, the place had a creepy vibe to it but it's enhanced when you're the only one awake, in the dark livingroom, waiting for your parents to pick you up after work.
I remember watching that hand demon video when I was around 10 or 11, and it scared the crap out of me. Although, it heavily reminded me of those motion-activated Christmas tree toys that sing, so I've always called it the "Christmas tree demon".
I never found the Spongebob Credits theme scary, yeah I'm such a bad ass I know, but as a kid I had a bunch of Spongebob DVDs (Nickelodeon collection technically), but I would always sit at the end credits and just vibe. I loved the little theme, it made me feel cozy and doughy. Maybe its because I tended to watch it in the middle of summer in my mini tv in my Garage just hanging out, so I had the pure chill summer vibes. I can understand Goose's reasoning where it would be creepy after a while, just a constant unchanging smile, which is pretty fair.
I member a D.A.R.E. program at my school. All they did was say drugs were bad and showed us a HUGE collection of weed pipes. They asked my if I knew anyone who smoked(my parents smoked, they hid it but I knew better.) and I was like nah dawg.
real demons caught on tap scared me to death, I didn't see it on TH-cam I ended up seeing it on a old show on syfy channel called fact or faked I would stay up and be so excited to see those obviously fake alien videos until they showed that video and I couldn't sleep. I then would go to sleep early without a second thought bc that video was not something I ever witnessed before, now its something I look back at and laugh
i love the spongebob closing credits it just brings me a sense of peace like waking up as a little kid in the middle of the night to ur show being over
BRO seeing “real demons caught on tape” brought back so many repressed memories. That video had to have been part of the D.A.R.E curriculum because that’s how I saw it and also couldn’t find it afterwards so I just gave up for over a decade now. I’m genuinely so happy I know what it’s called now thank Christ!
tbh, i super haven't been okay. i think a lot of us haven't been okay. personally, i have family drama. something about the consistency and nostalgia of traumathon really holds me together right now. im fueled by childhood trauma and nostalgia in general, and i usually thrive in this season. thank you, Goose, for adding a sense of normalcy when everything else is really strange right now. i really needed you this year. looking forward to what comes next...
I'm so glad you mentioned Robert Morgan, he's easily one of my favorite stop motion artists, up there with Phil Tippett and Ray Harryhausen and Jan Svankmejer.
i kinda wish that "suur toll" woulda been mentioned since it scares a lotta people both visually and audially, the soundtrackm is an orchestra with estonian chanting thrown in, and there are some scenes in the actual animation showing soldiers killed at war by an invading army it's pretty beautiful; i'm not scared of it(I actually find it quite beautiful and badass) But SO many people have been terrified of this animation, including Spookyrice
Throughout the entirety of Jaws, a Movie specifically about people getting horrifically eaten by a Shark, the Ben Gardner scene scared the fuck out of me and continuously scares me
8:55 Kinda wanna thank you for that message been going through tough time becoming an adult, and seeing that made me feel just a bit warm hope, so thank you Goose even though you prolly won’t see this
The Spongebob ending credits just reminds me how terrified I was of the opening credits for Yellow Submarine with the submarine swimming by different things. Scared me way more than the blue meanies would have somehow. It just felt off to little me.
okay i dont know if its too late for suggestions or what, but there was something that really scared me. in an episode from adventure time (i think it was called no one can hear you) but the deer guy from that episode really friggin scared me. bro especially when he takes his hooves off. creepy stuff mann
Dude the second you said the words "real demons caught on tape" I got an instant sense of dread and panic on a primal level. I have not felt that way for something in a long time.
THANK YOU for that section on the Real Demons video!! I've been looking for the source for a while and recently found it through a Reddit post I made so I'm glad it's becoming more public information :)
8:44 Needed this, thank you. This half of the year has been extremely rough on me and my family, don't really want to go into much detail beyond that, just wanted to express my appreciation for that lil message and the Traumathon series as a whole.
the jaw scene reminds me of a separate movie based on a book, it was called hatchet i believe?, and so basically a kid goes in this private jet to go see his dad but the pilot gets a heart attack, the plane ends up in a lake then later on when the boy is fishing we find the pilots dead body and the fact that the fish in the lake had been eating away at the dead pilot. i got that shown to me in like the 4th grade and it was a struggle to get the pilots dead underwater body out of my mind
Hoo see the adult swim ‘Nightmares’ was an extra fun thing. Those segments were aired at like 3am back in the day, my brother and his friends had told me a story about a sleepover they’d had and left adult swim on (because cool kids) and had woken up to their friend FRANTICALLY trying to wake them up and they all witness the entire ‘off the air’ segment. Good times.
I was never scared of or traumatized the end theme of Sponge Bob myself. But the description of the song sounding like someone smiling at you a little too long is disturbingly accurate. That exactly what it sounds like.
Okay, but for real though, the Spongebob thing. I've never had that classic "fall asleep and wake up in the dark to the credits" experience, but last October I was watching a ton of "creepy nostalgia" type videos because they fascinate. One night, sat in bed on my laptop drawing a particularly gorey Springtrap at like 2am, my TH-cam decided to autoplay from some Nerdcore rap probably straight to fucking "Spongebob end credits but it's playing through the speakers of an abandoned mall". I shit you not, probably one of the two biggest pits in my stomach I've EVER felt. I felt so fucking uncomfortable it was CRAZY, even though I only let five or ten seconds play. Anyway yeah, great video! Loving 5EVER. And thanks for the positive message halfway through, I'm not going through particularly tough times or anything but I've just moved to Uni and it's a lil scary being away from my family and friends albeit just a four hour drive or so and that message was really nice.
the longer you listen to credits in spongebob, the more you may start to imagine a smiling spongebob appearing in your room, just at the edge of your vision.
The ending credits of SpongeBob give me the same melancholy, unnerved vibes as the Cbeebies goodnight screen. Like it’s not scary at all but the idea of a just being told ‘goodnight!🥰’ and then the silence was very scary to me as a kid and I would always run out the room.
As a kid and even to this day, I was blessed to be able to take heed of almost every safety advice I hear, especially in those safety programs at school during my childhood. Unsurprisingly, that included the whole “Don’t do drugs” thing, as I quickly learned that those things are dangerous! But the scariest part of that particular subject was when I was in an outpatient program for my mental health years ago (thank goodness those days are over)… Day 1, there was one guy who was clearly suffering from the drug addiction, to the point where he was losing everything, one by one, even at that very moment. The next day and so on, I never saw him again. …I couldn’t help but quietly assume the worst. He probably had been succumbed to the drugs, one way or another. I may have already taken mental notes about the dangers of drugs since childhood, but that was one of the few times I might have witnessed someone face the horrific consequences, even if I didn’t see much on the only day I saw him. If you are still reading this, I hope this might help you understand more of the dangers of drugs.
I understand your fear of Ending Credits as a kid, Ending Credits always struck me with this weird dread, like: "YOU NEED TO SWITCH AWAY NOW, SWITCH AWAY NOW, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE WHILE WE SCROLL THROUGH THE CREDITS, SWITCH AWAY NOW!" and also what do you mean Spongebob isn't scary? what about the BUTTERFLY? HUH? And that Demons video really scared me as a kid, I remember actively hiding under the blankets sweating bullets scared out of my mind, and that cop wasn't really wrong, people have seen weirder stuff on LSD. And yes.. Jaws, I watched that movie was a young child, personally I don't remember that corpse scene, but what traumatized me and perhaps influenced me was.. (SPOILERS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quint's Death, with how he was set up through the film as this badass shark veteran, only to be suddenly DRAGGED THROUGH HELL in the worst way possible with his lower half being activrly chomped on and.. it's just horrific!
The nick end credits always got to me as well, like this is also where the logo thing comes to play because some of the sounds got me. I could remember the ending to Doug the Nick version, and it had that random old-time jazz song like wtf!? I remember watching that show, and the orange logo showed up. The ending theme to Doug is pretty cool, but just that random jazz music. There are some others from Nick, but cartoon net work ed edd n Eddie, the aka cartoon logo when it was in red, freaked me out I ran out the living room I was 7 or 8 yeah there was a lot of stuff on TV that made me jump.
I have never heard anyone say that the end credits of spongebob scared them, ngl that's the funniest thing i've ever heard because someone being scared of spongebob is so ridiculous and funny to me
First time I experienced the effects of a "liminal space" is the first time I went to school, at night.. .there was that night the parents all came to see their kids' classrooms, etc. But seeing the rooms without any sunlight comin' in the windows, without kids in the desks? It was creepy in a way I just couldn't explain. NOW, I know this concept of a liminal space being familiar, but "off" somehow; empty and lonely.
Honestly I can't wait for the extended intro to come out, genuinely a fucking banger. Whoever did the music has got a real bright future ahead of them!
I think, for me at least, a good part of the SpongeBob credits being scary is because of how Nick put them off in the corner with an up next bump. I hadn’t heard it till my mom got me a SpongeBob dvd as a kid to watch on long car rides to my grandparents and when I did it felt, idk wrong? Like I was seeing something I wasn’t supposed to, even now it feels kinda like that even though I’m more used to seeing credits and I know that I’m not looking at anything I wasn’t meant to lol
8:44 Thank you. long-time fan here, and I hope you understand how nice and far-reaching something simple like this is. It's the sort of words that a lot of people need to hear sometimes.
My only encounter with Angela Anaconda was a short included as an introduction for Digimon movie vhs tape, it was decent as a short, but I couldn't see it as a full show. Also. Did anyone else have the D.A.R.E. program stuff where they had a literal drug fair (Different stands each with its own officer, showcasing real drugs they confiscated)? Seriously at times it felt like the people in charge of D.A.R.E. where on some shit
omfg i remember feeling uneasy and spooked by the spongebob ending credits too, like whenever it came on it was sudden and abrupt to the mood of the actual episode, just adding to the liminal-ness of it all... i love the user submissions btw cuz it unlocks a lot of little memories i forgot about. we had a pokemon or digimon VHS that showed a short episode of angela anaconda before the movie starts, like a weird promo ad or something and i always found the style so strange LOL excited for the next eps!
Man never realized that people were afraid or put off by the Spongebob credits, im not saying it cant be scary because there are plenty of other end credits that are actually quite disturbing so i understand where that comes from, specially shows from Adult Swim whenever the William Street logo shows up and then the cartoon network Skull thing happends, i always hated that split second oddly shaped skull with the strange scream "SKULL!" it was even scarier whenever one of the characters in the show i was just watching said skull because most of the time i wasnt expecting that to happend, even more freaky was the first few times i heard it because i wasnt even in the same room and i was getting freaked out that somebody got in my house and was messing with me. As for the Spongebob credits, tbh? i kinda find it relaxing somehow, its like the feeling you get after a busy day, you finished your job and you kickback and relax and reflect about what you did today, prehaps im the one being weird thinking this song is relaxing but it kinda works that way with me.
You literally opened a traumatizing core memory, when you were talking the DARE police program, when they go to schools and say drugs are bad, they had done it at my school, but they had done this set up where every class participating had a actor kid, so when they had the assembly, and the police would arrest those actor kids, and from there, they would scatter, and one of them literally grabbed my by the hard really hard, shaking me back and forth, and I remember feeling so scared and the other kids of my class were just making fun of me for being at like the verge of almost crying because, I mean, her nails dug into my arm and was shaking me back and forth, of course that would scare me, but anyway, i'm glad you talked about DARE to help me remember a personal experience that I had with it.
Growing up as a poor kid, my family often had to switch on and off from having cable, and sometimes all we’d have were DVD’s. We had one or two SpongeBob ones way back then and I’d often find myself watching them when I wanted to pretend we had cable, since I’d miss it so much. Those were the times when the credits sequence would weird me out, watching the dvds late at night usually by myself, just wishing I was watching live television instead. There was something about not having cable that made things feel oddly lonely
11:40 when you showed the red hallway I thought you were going to mention Scary Stories to tell in the dark!!! Also when you mentioned that the yellow background looked like an odd old wallpaper I remembered the short story “the Yellow Wallpaper” and the short story, oddly enough, reminds me of liminal spaces
I'm not unnerved by the Spongebob outtro, but I kinda get the fear, especially when you have it playing for so long. It's like the anxiety I get watching a calm video sometimes, where I'm brought back to videos like the car commercial and the maze game, where you're lulled into a false sense of security. I can see you subconsciously like, waiting for something bad to happen in the lull of that cheery song
There is one that I still remember to this day, way back when I must’ve been like 5-7 I used to constantly watch TV and I must’ve channel surfed over what I can only assume was a horror movie. I don’t remember much except for one scene, now this is all I can remember and honestly it doesn’t make much sense. A middle aged man is walking through what I think are some woods during a really bad thunder storm, for some reason he falls and what I can only describe as the literal top half of his torso, face and all, seems to be shed as if it was some kind of bug shedding an exoskeleton, this also seems to be giving the man extreme pain. Then what I can only assume is the man runs away from the husk that he left as the camera zooms in on the husk’s still face as it’s frozen in an expression of pain.
You couldn't have described the freakiness in the spongebob credits better. It really is the same feeling as someone awkwardly, creepily smiling at you
I used to watch Angels Anaconda a lot back in the day. Idk why but I always thought the animation style was unique. Like newspaper clippings turned into a flipbook.
I've been enjoying the spongebob end credits music ever since I can remember. I thought it was as blissful as it gets, so can you imagine my shock and confusion when people have said this scared them??? I guess if you play it alone in total darkness it would be scary, but then again, wouldn't literally any song be scary in that environment?
The Spongebob credit sequence didn't make me feel scared, but sad. I can't explain it but it gives me that feeling kinda like when you were a kid and you were at a birthday party having fun, and then the party's over and you know it's done and all that's left is going back home.
felt the same way about the spongebob closing credits as a kid. i think it's the whiplash of going from an energetic cartoon full of characters to something very mellow and understimulating so quickly. makes you feel like you've been left alone. also i only ever remember seeing it night when all the lights were out
Glad to know I'm not the only person that spent literal years trying to find real Demons caught on tape. It's always been stuck in the back of my mind because I saw it back at a summer camp and over the years it faded out.
The best way I can describe the outro theme to Spongebob is "empty" and "slightly out-of-tune" feeling. It's that weird vibration and sound of the lower ukulele that repeats over and over in the background that gives it a bit of an eerie vibe to me.
@16:25 *NAAAH* ain't LSD -this gotta be Archangels Trumpets (Brugmansia), or Devils Trumpet/Devil Weed (Datura).

I squealed when you got to the SpongeBob ending theme. And I agree, pretty much all end credits gave me the creeps as a kid. Just you, alone in the dark, with this music signifying everything is over. The fact that most shows typically don't even show the ending credits these days makes it even spookier, like it never happened or something
The SpongeBob ending song one is so funny to me because we had the first two seasons on DVD and my brother was hyperfocused on SpongeBob at the time, so I heard that ending song a lot. I remembered at some point I found it really annoying, but you can't convince me it's creepy.
I was one of the people who suggested the credit sequence for Spongebob and I'm SO glad it was covered here because I was always teased by my siblings for finding it so creepy when they don't realize I was forced to sit through these credits at home, alone, as a kid with the only other person in the house being my mom who was in her bedroom and couldn't hear me telling her to turn it off
for me the spongebob ending always felt like a snap back to reality since i always had used tv as escapism. the looping song, the dull colours, the reminder that they’re not real
The spongebob vhs tapes my family would get from the library would do the exact same thing, a few episodes and then all of the credits at once. It was unnerving then and looking back now it definitely feels distant from the adhd pace of a spongebob episode. I think in general disconnected or abstract stuff like a texture with a looping tune can feel disconnected and easily make a kid uncomfortable. The end of vhs tapes almost always used to make me sad as a kid like watching a friend leave after a play date
god this reminded me of some brazilian horror claymation i saw when i was younger on youtube about a girl who had like a deformed younger sibling that was born and then k!lled??? it’s insane body horror and i need to find it again
I almost forgot that the ending credit song (spongebob) used to disturb me as a kid. For me, I remember the only time I could watch spongebob was when I was at my friends house during the evening, back in early 00's. After watching the show and seeing the end credits I would go home... in the dark. I wouldn't be thinking about the funny episode I just watched and just thought about that song. It didn't leave me with a warm feeling inside. The best way to describe my feeling of dread is comparing it to being alone in a room with familiar things, but the warmth of the room seems absent... while a song that suppose to be cheering seem eerie instead.
The end of cartoon show credits freaked me out too. Especially old school Cartoon Network ones. You just never know what to expect. And sometimes their pre-Adult Swim nighttime content would splice in and it used to freak me out and make me uncomfortable. Sometimes the animation was sus.
i accidentally stumbled upon adult swim when i was like 8 and saw one of their ultra disturbing bumpers that played after the credits of one show. it scared me so bad that for the next like six years i would get anxious during the credits of any show no matter the channel
Oh my god that scene with the boat from jaws made me too afraid to go to the beach for years and this is the first time I saw it since then, I was like 6 or 7 years old and this unlocked a forgotten memory 😭
14:07 Oh god, I saw this image back then and it basically traumatized me. It wasn't helping that I had a fever at that time. But the fact that they personified the demon just ruined the creepiness tbh. It feels like something you would see in a horror game
Im so happy to know who finally made the demon hand video. I remember watching it when i was younger and thinking it was real and it scared the shit out of me
I can’t believe you put the SpongeBob credits in the vid, in a good way! Like it’s crazy to think such an obscure, niche, sense of unsettlement I felt listening to those credits as a kid was also felt but others.
I remember there was this one episode of samurai jack that still scares me to this day. It’s a haunted house episode but the flashing lights paired with the horrifying audio really makes it something eerie to watch
Those drinking and driving school assemblies terrified my GF and her whole grade in high school. They started it off like normal then showed pictures of wrecks until the very end, they showed wreckage of a beloved classmate that had died to drunk driving not that long ago.
SORRY FOR THE SOUND ERROR IN 3:03!! It only lasts for a minute, and ya can still hear my commentary so, I won't be changing it. If this were any other day I'd just reupload it but, I gotta keep makin' traumathon episodes nonstop LMAO SO ENJOY!
Lavender Town Traumathon episode maybe?? 👀
I thought that was intentional ngl
It really fits with the sorta rant you went on.
Think you forgot to add the link to the Justin Martinez interview about the hands thing.
Dont worry, loud = funny
8:44
Truth be told, I haven't been doing okay. My boyfriend of four years left me and potentially cheated on me. He told me he's gotten over it and I should too. I really planned my life with this guy, and the past two weeks have been a blur of getting blackout drunk and getting high in the forest.
These small reminders from people, even strangers, really help in the rough times we have. Having a stranger tell you it's gonna be okay is a reminder that other people are going through problems and im not the only one struggling. Im not dealing with my grief in the most healthy way, but I'm not the only one grieving.
Don't worry, you aren't alone in this. I know what it's like to be betrayed by those you love and care for, and you thought did the same.
But as for my case, it wasn't a lover, it was my own flesh and blood. My own brother betrayed me.
My brother stabbed me, and pretty much the entire family, in the back. Abandonee this family, including my nephew, his own son. My sister left too, but when I was real little. But now I know the sting of betrayal, and worst of all, by my own Kin.
But I had hoped my brother wouldn't leave. My sister is dead to me for what she did. I had genuinely hoped from the bottom of my heart that I wouldn't have to say the same about my brother.
My only friend moved away, My Pa's gone, and My Ma is getting old and senile. Her mind is decaying with old age, and it hurts having to watch and do nothing about it.
I have nobody left, all I can do is tell myself:
"Just keep going, you'll make it through. I promise"
And hope that I'm not lying to myself.
Now, I don't know how close you'll hold some strangers word on the internet, But Just keep your head up, alright? That goes for anybody struggling with anything.
I know the night just got darker, but it won't last forever.
womp womp
It takes time (unfortunately), but it will get better. Bad times don't last forever. That's what I always tell myself.
grief from heartbreak is a universal bitch but its ubiquity is kinda what makes it comforting . it always helps me to think about how the pain i feel has been felt by someone else somewhere and chances are theyre probably out there living their life having been able to overcome the grief . and how i can do that too . everything will be okay :) it will get better because it always does eventually, this shit isnt linear .
It's okay friend, I'm in a similar boat right now too. Feels like I'll never feel secure in another relationship again. And I know what's like to pour everything you have into this one person for them to just leave you. We'll get through it, much love to you stranger
11:59 To add on to this, the credits theme was used in the show often. At least in early seasons. And every time it was used, it was usually for situations where the characters feel awkward, or when something inconvenient is happening.
Yo, you talking about the specific fear of SpongeBob DVD credits actually brought back a memory of me sometimes waking up to my SpongeBob DVD having just ended and playing back, like, 8 episodes worth of credits. It really did give me a weird sense of anxiety to the point that I had to figure out how to make it repeat when the last episode ended so I never had to have that happen again.
Id get oddly afraid when the credits ending and i thought i was the only one
The credits of spongebob always just gave me a feeling a sadness and when I first heard it as a kid, it honestly made me realize that everything will end eventually, it literally made me conscious of the mortality of things as a kid
The credit’s always fucked me up cause I was absolutely terrified of the SpongeBob creatures at the end
I honestly just vibed to it and got pissed because non of the credit characters very appeared
Never knew what you guys heard in the spongebap outro. Whenever an episode ended I'd call my mom and we'd groove together lol
Yea ending credits in general always had a sense of melancholy; the intro invites you to a world and the outro sends you back
The SpongeBob one I get it so much, I always thought it feels kind of empty and it is a space where you just have to wait for it to end.
Also I also think it dragged on too long
When watching the V/H/S 1 segment "10/31/98" I always tripped on why those arms and hands coming out of the walls looked so familiar. Justin is a part of Radio Silence!
The Spongebob credits song "sounds like someone smiling at you"?!? That's absolutely chilling. Also as soon as you said you bought some DVDs I knew where it was going bc I've experienced the exact same thing. I don't like the way the song loops, it sounds kinda off. Also the constant droning repetition of ukelele in the background is ominous, like someone creeping up on you.
Deliverance?🪕
im born in the middle ground of where this is considered nostaglic and people might consider me to young to understand this sorta stuff, but hearing the outro of spongebob just sent a wave of dread over me, like something was glaring at me, i remember being an infant being and terrified of that theme, id always hide under a sheet or blanket cause to me that song was like a timer, you HAD to hide before that final note was played
Translation: “I’m a bitch ass nigga”
everytime I hear that song and see that screen I feel like I'm not alone, especially in the dark
It feels like it’s leading up to you being caught but the climax of the song never comes so you’re just being chased forever
Hey.
Thanks for the "I hope you're doing okay" message.
It felt nice to read tonight.
you doing okay?
Those are my exact thoughts when it comes to the Spongebob ending theme. It always felt liminal and melancholic. Sort of floaty and unreal. I was never scared of it, but it did make me feel. Off. Like something wasn't quite right. I loved it though because that feeling fascinated me. It was like a special treat when I got to see it, like ooh my brain gets to feel weird and mushy again :]
its crazy that so many people find the spongebob credits scary and uncomfortable when it personally brought me so much comfort as a kid! i always left the dvd menu playing over and over just so i could hear the music, and i look foward to hearing it at the end of early season episodes!
Glad you showed some love for Jaws. The Ben Gardner head reveal is one of those jumpscares that really rattled me when I first watched it, and it's a great prosthetic too.
The first time I watched Jaws, I was like 10, and that moment was the one that really scared me.
The rest of the movie was not my thing until I was a bit older.
Honestly the credit sequence always made me more sad than scared because it always tells me that its over, the end.
yea me too
I feel like we found the Spongebob credits disturbing, because it represents the moment the escapism ends and we have to go back to reality. Atleast that's my im14andthisisdeep explanation of it.
Also, that hand demon video is still one of the coolest horror videos on TH-cam.
As a kid I felt really lonely when the credits would roll, so ur kinda right. Esp when it’s late at night and now u can’t drown out all the beasts and ghoulls lurking in the darkness lmao
I think that's where the liminal feeling comes from, it's a transititon from escapism to reality
Angela Anaconda is literally the bowling alley screen when you get a strike.
That should not be as accurate is it is holy fuck.
*strikes*
"Nice cock 👍"
I had something sort of like that Spongebob ending theme, but for me I fell through a window and had to go to the ER for stitches. While I was there, every single room was playing Two and A Half Men, not unusual tbh. I'm sitting in a room with my mom waiting to be seen, and the episode ends, but when the ending song came on it just kept going. Like, so long my mom, and when the doctor finally arrived, both commented on how long it was going too. We turned off the TV, but even on the way out I noticed that shit was still going.
creepypasta
for me, it was the end credits to ms spider, not much creeped me out besides the damned teletoon logo at the end!
i also got unnerved by the jimmy neutron end credits; the splat and a bit of the credit music plus jimmy going "Gotta blast" used to creep me out.
also, animation wise; this one below this text is one of my favorite moments since of how it stuck with me;
big spoiler for the season 2 ending of ATLA(Avatar: the last airbender)
so, Aang chooses to go into the avatar state in order to save those around him, but mid ascending-- Azula uses her lightningbending to strike Aang down; succeeding and causing the main protagonists to lose all hope since Aang(The Avatar) Was just mortally wounded and was now knocked out cold because of that, which also caused him to lose any sort of connection with the avatar state, since lore wise; you have to kill the avatar while they are in the avatar state in order to end the existence of an avatar as a whole.
but that scene; it awoke something in me, that being a love for a little hurt/comfort subgenre called; WHUMP
@@Jerry_the_Head For me, it was the Ed Edd n Eddy credits. Their smiling faces with the pitch black background did numbers on me, as well as the "aka cartoons" logo.
that's fucked up
ok for the spongebob one. The reason why it always creeped me out is that whenever I saw it was when it was night time. Especially this one time when I was at my grandmas house, the place had a creepy vibe to it but it's enhanced when you're the only one awake, in the dark livingroom, waiting for your parents to pick you up after work.
I agree 100%. I'd feel a sense of dread and loneliness once I knew it was getting close to the end
I remember watching that hand demon video when I was around 10 or 11, and it scared the crap out of me. Although, it heavily reminded me of those motion-activated Christmas tree toys that sing, so I've always called it the "Christmas tree demon".
I never found the Spongebob Credits theme scary, yeah I'm such a bad ass I know, but as a kid I had a bunch of Spongebob DVDs (Nickelodeon collection technically), but I would always sit at the end credits and just vibe. I loved the little theme, it made me feel cozy and doughy. Maybe its because I tended to watch it in the middle of summer in my mini tv in my Garage just hanging out, so I had the pure chill summer vibes. I can understand Goose's reasoning where it would be creepy after a while, just a constant unchanging smile, which is pretty fair.
I member a D.A.R.E. program at my school. All they did was say drugs were bad and showed us a HUGE collection of weed pipes. They asked my if I knew anyone who smoked(my parents smoked, they hid it but I knew better.) and I was like nah dawg.
3:03 damn, the music got super intense lol
8:44 this was really wholesome to add in, thank you for that.
Really needed something like that.
Excited to watch this at night and then complain about being scared
You doing okay man?
real demons caught on tap scared me to death, I didn't see it on TH-cam I ended up seeing it on a old show on syfy channel called fact or faked I would stay up and be so excited to see those obviously fake alien videos until they showed that video and I couldn't sleep. I then would go to sleep early without a second thought bc that video was not something I ever witnessed before, now its something I look back at and laugh
i love the spongebob closing credits it just brings me a sense of peace like waking up as a little kid in the middle of the night to ur show being over
BRO seeing “real demons caught on tape” brought back so many repressed memories. That video had to have been part of the D.A.R.E curriculum because that’s how I saw it and also couldn’t find it afterwards so I just gave up for over a decade now. I’m genuinely so happy I know what it’s called now thank Christ!
tbh, i super haven't been okay. i think a lot of us haven't been okay. personally, i have family drama. something about the consistency and nostalgia of traumathon really holds me together right now. im fueled by childhood trauma and nostalgia in general, and i usually thrive in this season. thank you, Goose, for adding a sense of normalcy when everything else is really strange right now. i really needed you this year. looking forward to what comes next...
I'm so glad you mentioned Robert Morgan, he's easily one of my favorite stop motion artists, up there with Phil Tippett and Ray Harryhausen and Jan Svankmejer.
i kinda wish that "suur toll" woulda been mentioned since it scares a lotta people both visually and audially, the soundtrackm is an orchestra with estonian chanting thrown in, and there are some scenes in the actual animation showing soldiers killed at war by an invading army
it's pretty beautiful; i'm not scared of it(I actually find it quite beautiful and badass) But SO many people have been terrified of this animation, including Spookyrice
Throughout the entirety of Jaws, a Movie specifically about people getting horrifically eaten by a Shark, the Ben Gardner scene scared the fuck out of me and continuously scares me
8:55 Kinda wanna thank you for that message been going through tough time becoming an adult, and seeing that made me feel just a bit warm hope, so thank you Goose even though you prolly won’t see this
The Spongebob ending credits just reminds me how terrified I was of the opening credits for Yellow Submarine with the submarine swimming by different things. Scared me way more than the blue meanies would have somehow. It just felt off to little me.
okay i dont know if its too late for suggestions or what, but there was something that really scared me. in an episode from adventure time (i think it was called no one can hear you) but the deer guy from that episode really friggin scared me. bro especially when he takes his hooves off. creepy stuff mann
Dude the second you said the words "real demons caught on tape" I got an instant sense of dread and panic on a primal level. I have not felt that way for something in a long time.
Tbh i think the thing about spongebob’s end credtis is due to the tone of the notes. It kinds sound like the music is distorted
THANK YOU for that section on the Real Demons video!! I've been looking for the source for a while and recently found it through a Reddit post I made so I'm glad it's becoming more public information :)
8:44 Needed this, thank you.
This half of the year has been extremely rough on me and my family, don't really want to go into much detail beyond that, just wanted to express my appreciation for that lil message and the Traumathon series as a whole.
Who's YOUR and why did they forget horror? 😅

the jaw scene reminds me of a separate movie based on a book, it was called hatchet i believe?, and so basically a kid goes in this private jet to go see his dad but the pilot gets a heart attack, the plane ends up in a lake then later on when the boy is fishing we find the pilots dead body and the fact that the fish in the lake had been eating away at the dead pilot.
i got that shown to me in like the 4th grade and it was a struggle to get the pilots dead underwater body out of my mind
Hoo see the adult swim ‘Nightmares’ was an extra fun thing. Those segments were aired at like 3am back in the day, my brother and his friends had told me a story about a sleepover they’d had and left adult swim on (because cool kids) and had woken up to their friend FRANTICALLY trying to wake them up and they all witness the entire ‘off the air’ segment. Good times.
I was never scared of or traumatized the end theme of Sponge Bob myself. But the description of the song sounding like someone smiling at you a little too long is disturbingly accurate. That exactly what it sounds like.
Okay, but for real though, the Spongebob thing. I've never had that classic "fall asleep and wake up in the dark to the credits" experience, but last October I was watching a ton of "creepy nostalgia" type videos because they fascinate. One night, sat in bed on my laptop drawing a particularly gorey Springtrap at like 2am, my TH-cam decided to autoplay from some Nerdcore rap probably straight to fucking "Spongebob end credits but it's playing through the speakers of an abandoned mall". I shit you not, probably one of the two biggest pits in my stomach I've EVER felt. I felt so fucking uncomfortable it was CRAZY, even though I only let five or ten seconds play.
Anyway yeah, great video! Loving 5EVER. And thanks for the positive message halfway through, I'm not going through particularly tough times or anything but I've just moved to Uni and it's a lil scary being away from my family and friends albeit just a four hour drive or so and that message was really nice.
Here before he fixes the title error
the longer you listen to credits in spongebob, the more you may start to imagine a smiling spongebob appearing in your room, just at the edge of your vision.
Today was a rough day for me and I wasn't in the best of headspace. Thank you for the reassurance Goose. Hope you all are having a good day.
The ending credits of SpongeBob give me the same melancholy, unnerved vibes as the Cbeebies goodnight screen. Like it’s not scary at all but the idea of a just being told ‘goodnight!🥰’ and then the silence was very scary to me as a kid and I would always run out the room.
As a kid and even to this day, I was blessed to be able to take heed of almost every safety advice I hear, especially in those safety programs at school during my childhood. Unsurprisingly, that included the whole “Don’t do drugs” thing, as I quickly learned that those things are dangerous!
But the scariest part of that particular subject was when I was in an outpatient program for my mental health years ago (thank goodness those days are over)… Day 1, there was one guy who was clearly suffering from the drug addiction, to the point where he was losing everything, one by one, even at that very moment.
The next day and so on, I never saw him again. …I couldn’t help but quietly assume the worst. He probably had been succumbed to the drugs, one way or another.
I may have already taken mental notes about the dangers of drugs since childhood, but that was one of the few times I might have witnessed someone face the horrific consequences, even if I didn’t see much on the only day I saw him.
If you are still reading this, I hope this might help you understand more of the dangers of drugs.
I understand your fear of Ending Credits as a kid, Ending Credits always struck me with this weird dread, like: "YOU NEED TO SWITCH AWAY NOW, SWITCH AWAY NOW, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE WHILE WE SCROLL THROUGH THE CREDITS, SWITCH AWAY NOW!" and also what do you mean Spongebob isn't scary? what about the BUTTERFLY? HUH?
And that Demons video really scared me as a kid, I remember actively hiding under the blankets sweating bullets scared out of my mind, and that cop wasn't really wrong, people have seen weirder stuff on LSD.
And yes.. Jaws, I watched that movie was a young child, personally I don't remember that corpse scene, but what traumatized me and perhaps influenced me was.. (SPOILERS)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quint's Death, with how he was set up through the film as this badass shark veteran, only to be suddenly DRAGGED THROUGH HELL in the worst way possible with his lower half being activrly chomped on and.. it's just horrific!
god I always hated the butterfly episode 😭
The nick end credits always got to me as well, like this is also where the logo thing comes to play because some of the sounds got me. I could remember the ending to Doug the Nick version, and it had that random old-time jazz song like wtf!? I remember watching that show, and the orange logo showed up. The ending theme to Doug is pretty cool, but just that random jazz music. There are some others from Nick, but cartoon net work ed edd n Eddie, the aka cartoon logo when it was in red, freaked me out I ran out the living room I was 7 or 8 yeah there was a lot of stuff on TV that made me jump.
I have never heard anyone say that the end credits of spongebob scared them, ngl that's the funniest thing i've ever heard because someone being scared of spongebob is so ridiculous and funny to me
it’s insane how many ppl in the comments are agreeing that the credits are spooky
I never really found them scary, just sorta unnerving
First time I experienced the effects of a "liminal space" is the first time I went to school, at night.. .there was that night the parents all came to see their kids' classrooms, etc. But seeing the rooms without any sunlight comin' in the windows, without kids in the desks? It was creepy in a way I just couldn't explain. NOW, I know this concept of a liminal space being familiar, but "off" somehow; empty and lonely.
Honestly I can't wait for the extended intro to come out, genuinely a fucking banger. Whoever did the music has got a real bright future ahead of them!
I think, for me at least, a good part of the SpongeBob credits being scary is because of how Nick put them off in the corner with an up next bump. I hadn’t heard it till my mom got me a SpongeBob dvd as a kid to watch on long car rides to my grandparents and when I did it felt, idk wrong? Like I was seeing something I wasn’t supposed to, even now it feels kinda like that even though I’m more used to seeing credits and I know that I’m not looking at anything I wasn’t meant to lol
8:44
Thank you. long-time fan here, and I hope you understand how nice and far-reaching something simple like this is. It's the sort of words that a lot of people need to hear sometimes.
My only encounter with Angela Anaconda was a short included as an introduction for Digimon movie vhs tape, it was decent as a short, but I couldn't see it as a full show.
Also. Did anyone else have the D.A.R.E. program stuff where they had a literal drug fair (Different stands each with its own officer, showcasing real drugs they confiscated)? Seriously at times it felt like the people in charge of D.A.R.E. where on some shit
cant wait to watch nostalgic horror that your forgot
omfg i remember feeling uneasy and spooked by the spongebob ending credits too, like whenever it came on it was sudden and abrupt to the mood of the actual episode, just adding to the liminal-ness of it all... i love the user submissions btw cuz it unlocks a lot of little memories i forgot about. we had a pokemon or digimon VHS that showed a short episode of angela anaconda before the movie starts, like a weird promo ad or something and i always found the style so strange LOL excited for the next eps!
Man never realized that people were afraid or put off by the Spongebob credits, im not saying it cant be scary because there are plenty of other end credits that are actually quite disturbing so i understand where that comes from, specially shows from Adult Swim whenever the William Street logo shows up and then the cartoon network Skull thing happends, i always hated that split second oddly shaped skull with the strange scream "SKULL!" it was even scarier whenever one of the characters in the show i was just watching said skull because most of the time i wasnt expecting that to happend, even more freaky was the first few times i heard it because i wasnt even in the same room and i was getting freaked out that somebody got in my house and was messing with me.
As for the Spongebob credits, tbh? i kinda find it relaxing somehow, its like the feeling you get after a busy day, you finished your job and you kickback and relax and reflect about what you did today, prehaps im the one being weird thinking this song is relaxing but it kinda works that way with me.
oh that William Street logo was the one that always actually creeped me out a bit
You literally opened a traumatizing core memory, when you were talking the DARE police program, when they go to schools and say drugs are bad, they had done it at my school, but they had done this set up where every class participating had a actor kid, so when they had the assembly, and the police would arrest those actor kids, and from there, they would scatter, and one of them literally grabbed my by the hard really hard, shaking me back and forth, and I remember feeling so scared and the other kids of my class were just making fun of me for being at like the verge of almost crying because, I mean, her nails dug into my arm and was shaking me back and forth, of course that would scare me, but anyway, i'm glad you talked about DARE to help me remember a personal experience that I had with it.
Growing up as a poor kid, my family often had to switch on and off from having cable, and sometimes all we’d have were DVD’s. We had one or two SpongeBob ones way back then and I’d often find myself watching them when I wanted to pretend we had cable, since I’d miss it so much. Those were the times when the credits sequence would weird me out, watching the dvds late at night usually by myself, just wishing I was watching live television instead. There was something about not having cable that made things feel oddly lonely
11:40 when you showed the red hallway I thought you were going to mention Scary Stories to tell in the dark!!!
Also when you mentioned that the yellow background looked like an odd old wallpaper I remembered the short story “the Yellow Wallpaper” and the short story, oddly enough, reminds me of liminal spaces
I'm not unnerved by the Spongebob outtro, but I kinda get the fear, especially when you have it playing for so long. It's like the anxiety I get watching a calm video sometimes, where I'm brought back to videos like the car commercial and the maze game, where you're lulled into a false sense of security. I can see you subconsciously like, waiting for something bad to happen in the lull of that cheery song
Yes! You finally talked about “Real Demons Caught on Tape”! I remember suggesting it during the last Traumathon!
There is one that I still remember to this day, way back when I must’ve been like 5-7 I used to constantly watch TV and I must’ve channel surfed over what I can only assume was a horror movie. I don’t remember much except for one scene, now this is all I can remember and honestly it doesn’t make much sense. A middle aged man is walking through what I think are some woods during a really bad thunder storm, for some reason he falls and what I can only describe as the literal top half of his torso, face and all, seems to be shed as if it was some kind of bug shedding an exoskeleton, this also seems to be giving the man extreme pain. Then what I can only assume is the man runs away from the husk that he left as the camera zooms in on the husk’s still face as it’s frozen in an expression of pain.
You couldn't have described the freakiness in the spongebob credits better. It really is the same feeling as someone awkwardly, creepily smiling at you
Holy moly midnight posts go crazy
I used to watch Angels Anaconda a lot back in the day. Idk why but I always thought the animation style was unique. Like newspaper clippings turned into a flipbook.
About DARE I remember an officer got very angry at me for saying I would take a cigarette and throw it away later and terrified my 8 yo self.
Jaws has got to be my favourite movie of all time thanks for covering this!
I've been enjoying the spongebob end credits music ever since I can remember. I thought it was as blissful as it gets, so can you imagine my shock and confusion when people have said this scared them??? I guess if you play it alone in total darkness it would be scary, but then again, wouldn't literally any song be scary in that environment?
The Spongebob credit sequence didn't make me feel scared, but sad. I can't explain it but it gives me that feeling kinda like when you were a kid and you were at a birthday party having fun, and then the party's over and you know it's done and all that's left is going back home.
felt the same way about the spongebob closing credits as a kid. i think it's the whiplash of going from an energetic cartoon full of characters to something very mellow and understimulating so quickly. makes you feel like you've been left alone. also i only ever remember seeing it night when all the lights were out
Wow i thought i was the only one with the spongebob credits fear! Could not handle it at night!
I ADORE CAT WITH HANDS!! it's one of those short films that's stuck with me for a good decade, one of my all-time favorites
Glad to know I'm not the only person that spent literal years trying to find real Demons caught on tape. It's always been stuck in the back of my mind because I saw it back at a summer camp and over the years it faded out.
The best way I can describe the outro theme to Spongebob is "empty" and "slightly out-of-tune" feeling. It's that weird vibration and sound of the lower ukulele that repeats over and over in the background that gives it a bit of an eerie vibe to me.
"your gonna be okay" i dont think ive genuinely smiled until then in like months

I squealed when you got to the SpongeBob ending theme. And I agree, pretty much all end credits gave me the creeps as a kid. Just you, alone in the dark, with this music signifying everything is over. The fact that most shows typically don't even show the ending credits these days makes it even spookier, like it never happened or something
Dude I've always found the Spongebob credits unsettling so I'm glad you covered this.
The SpongeBob ending song one is so funny to me because we had the first two seasons on DVD and my brother was hyperfocused on SpongeBob at the time, so I heard that ending song a lot.
I remembered at some point I found it really annoying, but you can't convince me it's creepy.
I'm sick to my stomach tonight and that little intermission was so comforting. Thank you, Boose. ❤
I was one of the people who suggested the credit sequence for Spongebob and I'm SO glad it was covered here because I was always teased by my siblings for finding it so creepy when they don't realize I was forced to sit through these credits at home, alone, as a kid with the only other person in the house being my mom who was in her bedroom and couldn't hear me telling her to turn it off
for me the spongebob ending always felt like a snap back to reality since i always had used tv as escapism. the looping song, the dull colours, the reminder that they’re not real
The spongebob vhs tapes my family would get from the library would do the exact same thing, a few episodes and then all of the credits at once. It was unnerving then and looking back now it definitely feels distant from the adhd pace of a spongebob episode. I think in general disconnected or abstract stuff like a texture with a looping tune can feel disconnected and easily make a kid uncomfortable. The end of vhs tapes almost always used to make me sad as a kid like watching a friend leave after a play date
god this reminded me of some brazilian horror claymation i saw when i was younger on youtube about a girl who had like a deformed younger sibling that was born and then k!lled??? it’s insane body horror and i need to find it again
I think I know what you're talking about
I almost forgot that the ending credit song (spongebob) used to disturb me as a kid. For me, I remember the only time I could watch spongebob was when I was at my friends house during the evening, back in early 00's. After watching the show and seeing the end credits I would go home... in the dark. I wouldn't be thinking about the funny episode I just watched and just thought about that song. It didn't leave me with a warm feeling inside. The best way to describe my feeling of dread is comparing it to being alone in a room with familiar things, but the warmth of the room seems absent... while a song that suppose to be cheering seem eerie instead.
Couldn't sleep. Got dabbed up and watched Goose Boose. I found and watched The Cat With Hands at 4:10 am.
The end of cartoon show credits freaked me out too. Especially old school Cartoon Network ones. You just never know what to expect. And sometimes their pre-Adult Swim nighttime content would splice in and it used to freak me out and make me uncomfortable. Sometimes the animation was sus.
i accidentally stumbled upon adult swim when i was like 8 and saw one of their ultra disturbing bumpers that played after the credits of one show. it scared me so bad that for the next like six years i would get anxious during the credits of any show no matter the channel
Oh my god that scene with the boat from jaws made me too afraid to go to the beach for years and this is the first time I saw it since then, I was like 6 or 7 years old and this unlocked a forgotten memory 😭
14:07 Oh god, I saw this image back then and it basically traumatized me. It wasn't helping that I had a fever at that time.
But the fact that they personified the demon just ruined the creepiness tbh. It feels like something you would see in a horror game
Im so happy to know who finally made the demon hand video. I remember watching it when i was younger and thinking it was real and it scared the shit out of me
I can’t believe you put the SpongeBob credits in the vid, in a good way! Like it’s crazy to think such an obscure, niche, sense of unsettlement I felt listening to those credits as a kid was also felt but others.
Honestly yeah I always had this chilling sensation when seeing those credits
It's been FOREVER since I watched the Cat with Hands, so I had to pause, go watch it again, then come back. It's still good!
The Spongebob outro never scared me. In fact, it's a beautiful to me. Me and my papa (grandpa) just loved to listen to it over and over again.
I remember there was this one episode of samurai jack that still scares me to this day. It’s a haunted house episode but the flashing lights paired with the horrifying audio really makes it something eerie to watch
That mid video check up really came at the right time since the last few months have been really hard for me, thank you goose❤
Holy crap Luis, new Goose Boose video!
Those drinking and driving school assemblies terrified my GF and her whole grade in high school. They started it off like normal then showed pictures of wrecks until the very end, they showed wreckage of a beloved classmate that had died to drunk driving not that long ago.
