It's a tough one but maybe squid noir just because this one was funnier although I enjoyed where's Wanda for it's serious atmosphere so it is squid noir that wins
Can we talk about the color in Squid Noir? Where's Wanda just took the direct value of each color but Squid Noir actually adjusted the contrast and added detail to the background to make sure the characters still stood out despite the lack of color. Squid Noir also changed the background in the scenes to be atmospheric (some places darker than others, some more detailed, adding the water affect to be still, calm). Fairly Odd Parents, for the most part, had usual, unremarkable backgrounds in Where's Wanda.
I really appreciated that the flower pattern in the sky was all melty when everything was black and white. It was a small difference but as you said, everything was tweaked to set the tone perfectly
These two episodes where made like 10+ years apart. Also Spongebob has a huge budget, so considering the budged of FOP back then it's still remerkable.
i enjoy squid noir a lot more than wheres wanda due to it being more funny and the twist more clever. (i've always found spongebob more funnier than fairly oddparents). the details in the background in squid noir are so glamorous thanks to the nice HD resolution but thats not to say wheres wanda wasnt great either thanks to the jokes especially timmy's dad wanting to be a suspect
Fun Fact that everyone probably knows: when Squid Noir first aired, a bunch of people recolored the scene where the color was regained and nick used some of the peoples recolors.
You know, that clip near the beginning of the fish ripping his eyes out and plugging his ears with them would have been made better with one change, his eyes are just balls and don't have the nerves attached and snap out of his head.
Please don't call me a grammar nazi, but since the topic calls for it... "noir" is more like "nou-ah" since r's used in this fashion are generally silent/barely audible when speaking French. i just used the "u" to emphasize the nasal quality when speaking the word. "noair" is almost as incorrect as Jay's "nore". OP's "no-ar" sounds a little bit better. I'm no expert in phonetic spelling, so I just looked it up: the proper phonetic spelling appears to be "nwa". Case closed.
Squid Noir was the first new spongebob cartoon I've seen in ages- and being that I got a soft spot for Film Noir parodies, I loved it. Especially the fight between SpongeBob and Bubble Bass and Squidwards narrating with it. Also SpongeBob flipping the coins...
Also at 1:54, I didn't notice it initial viewing, and they were PROBABLY trying to get Mr. Krabbs to sort of "hunch his shoulders" but since he doesn't from a character design level HAVE shoulders, it looks... WIERD... Like his clothes shrank entirely into his pelvis. XD ... And now I can't STOP seeing it...
I'm suprised they didn't put Squidward through a large and agonising sequence at the end of the episode. Maybe they are breaking the cycle of beat Squidward senseless for comedy. P.S. I find both episodes very good and can't pick a favorite. Help XD
Spider Prime ok let me educate you. BMO was a supporting character in Adventure time (plz dont tell me you dont know adventure time) he was a little game console that also could talk and walk. He also had a lot of solo episodes just about him for character development. Hence BMO Noir (which i don’t exactly remember watching)
Episodes like Squid Noir really indicate how much of a transition point into what could be something great seasons 9 to 11 have been. It's got some pretty solid jokes ("I don't know who Jack is, but I would like some beans!") and some... much less solid ones (Spongebob inspecting Mr. Krab's butt print). More of the former and less of the ladder; something adults and kids can laugh at TOGETHER (now that I think about it, do KIDS even laugh at these butt-sniffing jokes anymore?)
My main problem with Where’s Wanda, I feel like a few of the side characters and even Timmy feel a little out of character. ((PERSONAL OPINION)) Timmy still retains some of his personality, but it feels slightly changed to match the tone of the actual episode Plus it feels odd basing an episode based on finding a fish, I feel like it could’ve been a better execution. I would slightly rewrite the episode basing off of something else (What I mean is, something unexpected not a missing fish). It’s far from a bad episode, I call it average, and watching it now, its definitely not as good as I remember it (Especially compared to Squid Noir, Whatever Where’s Wanda did, Squid Noir improves on).
@@alfa01spotivo the episode it's a parody of old mistery movies and tales, instead of thinking of it as a real performance by the characters, try to imagine that Timmy and his friends are just imitating what they've seen in those movies, like playing pretend, they don't have to remain complete on character in this case, because they are essentially acting
I personally liked the way that the color changed to black and white when Squidward lost his clarinet in Squid Noir, setting the mood of mystery and when Squidward found his clarinet, the color went back because the mystery was finally solved. :)
TBH, Where's Wanda felt pretty cliche. I don't know why she was sent to a chocolate land. sure, she likes chocolate but, that's more of Homer's hobby. Squid Noir does have the right example. Squidward's havoc of playing his clarinet poorly angered the Binki Bottomites, Krabs, Bubble Bass and Patrick leading to abuse Squidward of his egotism. Strange to see The Jellyfish steal the instrument considering the fact in the previous seasons, they hated hearing his bad playing. Apparently, They like the singing in this theme. But, anyway, Squid Noir has a much clever set up and has good jokes. This is the better Detective episode in my honest opinion ;D
Cyborg Homie I mean it’s comparing Classic Fairly OddParents and Mondern Spongebob so it’s pretty debatable which episode is better based on quality True though. I like Squid Noir Better
Cyborg Homie I agree that squid noir is better than the where’s Wanda episode because the original colors stayed longer in squid noir than where’s Wanda
These episodes remind me of the Jimmy Neutron episode "Crime Sheen Investigation" where Sheen loses Ultra Lord and gets Jimmy to help him find the suspect. The episode kind of plays out the same way these episodes do.
I really like both episodes, but nostalgia aside, I would have to say Squid Noir is better. I really hope we get more episodes that are like this. Also, The brutal comedy sees more like it would be funnier in rocko's modern life. Anyone agree?
@@SonicmaniaVideos I always thought of Missing Identity as partially a homage to Groundhogs Day because Spongebob has to try and do the same things over and over again.
when it comes to Squid Noir -- the writer must've either been reading waaaay too much Problem Sleuth OR has just finished the Midnight Crew Intermission of Homestuck. Either one.
So, I see that u took half of my request. I understand why u did. I requested that u review Squid Noir vs. The Detective(Gumball), but what u did was so much better because both Squid Noir, and Where's Wanda go from color to black, and white for the sake of the parody. So, anyway the review was gr8.
One of the few new Spongebob episodes, instead of Squidward being tortured 15 minutes straight they gave us and cool Noir adventure, the result? everyone loved it, the end.
Now that I think about it, it really does make sense that the jellyfish appreciate some jazz featuring clarinet, seeing that they loved those giant SpongeBob statues so much!
I think I know why Cosmo sending Wanda to Chocolate City works for me. Cosmo sent her there because he wanted to help her, when in reality, it only made things worse for her. What matters to me is the intention behind his actions. He cares about his wife, so he wanted to do something good for her by sending her away. It shows that Cosmo may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he cares. It also creates a very nice instance of situational irony for me, but those are just my thoughts.
For me, as a big Sherlockian, I prefer Squid Noir because I felt a more Holmesian feel in Squidward’s method of observations and deduction. Timmy’s style in Where’s Wanda felt like a stereotypical crime story (but don’t get me wrong, it’s one of my favorite FOP episodes). Though Squid Noir had scenes like the battle between SpongeBob’s Mermaidman and Bubblebass’ Dad figure. Scenes like that remind me of scenes in Sherlock when Holmes enters his mind palace.
That's true! My opinion on the Fairly OddParents episode may be biased as well since I loved to watch that show in the past and it stuck with me ever since :)
I see that you had a lot of fun reviewing these two episodes. The overly drammatic mistery novel episode was alwais one of my favourite concepts in cartoons. Also....who is hotter?: Lady Krabs or Bugs in drag?? ;)
The comparison of these two was inevitable. At least the Spongebob one was a rip-off of a Fairly Oddparents concept instead of rehashing a Spongebob episode yet again.
Squid Noir really knew how to use the classic Scooby Doo method of telling a mystery story where the villain is always that one character that shows up at the beginning that everyone forgets about.
I was very satisfied with Squid Noir. I met Roger Bumpass (the VA of Squidward) at a convention and he said that this was an episode he felt good about after hearing an attendee ask him about the apparent quality drop in the later seasons. I am glad to see that he was hot lying, and this episode is gong down as one of my many favorite episodes.
4:26 SpongeBob is just like my favorite character just because of how he acts And how he is in this scene before squidward Confronts him sitting in a puddle splashing around it just makes me smile
The thing about the out-of-place brutal jokes: probably one of the few good things Spongebob's Dark Age did for the series as a whole is making those *less* out of place so that more kinds of jokes are possible. You know, if you dive in the deep end, you can swim in the shallows and all that.
before I actually watch the video I have to ask Jay or anyone, is Where' Wanda the episode where Cosmo says "Riiiiiiiiiight"? because aside from some of the references that gag was the thing that I remember from the episode and how forced it was.
Hey Alpha, if I may make some quick constructive criticism. I've always felt something was off about your into, and now I've found out why. There's no music. It's kinda weird to sit through without a tune to accompany it. If I were to make a comparison, look at the intro from the Memeulous channel. It's got a simple song to accompany the animation. I dunno, I think it would be a good idea. Hope you read this and understand.
Alpha Jay Show it's more for just the intro animation. Having something play during it would be nice. Just the silent splash animation is a little odd, that's all.
i once saw someone review the squid noir episode and he said "this is the first show that did this" and that misinformation reminded me of where's wanda
Imagine if 'Where's Wanda' was a spongbob crossover, if this episode aired after the first movie. It would Shell City written all over it! And Timmy has to work with Spongebob along with some Cosmo and Patrick shennagians at the side, they would have to save Wanda from Shell Ci------- OOOOOH THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FANFICTION IDEA!
Patrick slapping Spongebob for the bad pun works so well. I get it was violent, but damn that was funny. Who needs the bad pun bat when you have Patrick?
OKAY, for the whole three-and-a-half minutes I’ve been watching this, I totally thought you were talking about Wandavision, I hadn’t gotten to the part with Fairly Oddparents, or maybe I had but just zoned out. Ah, where has my brain gone?
I think the coin thing would've been funnier if the coins were being scooped up by a live-action fisherman, thinking he had found some sort of treasure... maybe a return of the artist at sea?
Thank you for talking about the newer episodes of Spongebob because having to listen to the worsening quality of writing and rapidly changing character motives myself would be too painful- but seeing the quality of animation and definition is remarkable, those artists have improved so much. When I watched old eps as a kid on my tv it was like 1999 of quality
For a final project, I was demanded to make a short film, the first thing that I got in mind was to make "Steamed Noir", a story of broken characters and solid lies.

Alpha Jay Show it's more for just the intro animation. Having something play during it would be nice. Just the silent splash animation is a little odd, that's all.
Guys here's a solution to which is better
Watch the pink panther instead.
THE MADHOUSE FUNTIME FREDDY/ the oneness Lol
Alpha Jay Show ha
i once saw someone review the squid noir episode and he said "this is the first show that did this"
and that misinformation reminded me of where's wanda
Top ten anime that are debated on wich one is better.
11:32 - 12:09 I always love your in character roastings when something silly happens.
haha, thank you
Great Review, but for future reference "Noir" is pronounced No-Are
Imagine if 'Where's Wanda' was a spongbob crossover, if this episode aired after the first movie. It would Shell City written all over it!
And Timmy has to work with Spongebob along with some Cosmo and Patrick shennagians at the side, they would have to save Wanda from Shell Ci------- OOOOOH THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FANFICTION IDEA!
Why's it raining underwater?
That reminds me, how did it rain in Pineapple Fever, didn’t think of that. Lol
That’s like asking why Spongebob is able to talk, It’s a cartoon, weird things happen
i still want my gary cake cooking video
Lol
3:23 i didn't know Squidward's clarinet was Jewish
When you said "we also get Flats" I got super nerd excited, because I play violin and then realized you were talking about Flats the Flounder
11:50 only true spongebob fans know that reference
You forgot the best joke from where's wanda, where once it goes back to color jorgen asks why the corner of the room is still black and white
Squid noir was my favorite.
Keep up the good work alpha!! :)
Patrick slapping Spongebob for the bad pun works so well. I get it was violent, but damn that was funny. Who needs the bad pun bat when you have Patrick?
17:44 Maybe Mrs. Puff was in a table closer to the stage? I dunno.
OKAY, for the whole three-and-a-half minutes I’ve been watching this, I totally thought you were talking about Wandavision, I hadn’t gotten to the part with Fairly Oddparents, or maybe I had but just zoned out. Ah, where has my brain gone?
Teenhood vs Childhood
I think the coin thing would've been funnier if the coins were being scooped up by a live-action fisherman, thinking he had found some sort of treasure... maybe a return of the artist at sea?
12:00 we serve FOOD here, sir.
Great Video Alphaa... the Spongebob lore must neverrr die!!!!
OhYeahCory Neverrrr
Well. Certainly didn't expect this!
Thank you for talking about the newer episodes of Spongebob because having to listen to the worsening quality of writing and rapidly changing character motives myself would be too painful- but seeing the quality of animation and definition is remarkable, those artists have improved so much. When I watched old eps as a kid on my tv it was like 1999 of quality
ive never seen Squid Noir
14:12 “And THIS is where I would put my award for winning movie night! *_IF I HAD ONE!”_*
Noir is pronounced "Nuhwaar"
For a final project, I was demanded to make a short film, the first thing that I got in mind was to make "Steamed Noir", a story of broken characters and solid lies.
12:07 *SLAP* Get that outta my face!
Get that outta here we’re like 7 or something!
Bet that Squidward at the beginning of Squid Noir (with his clarinet) could fit right in with my band clarinets.
