Neptune is more of a religious leader, his sea has multiple carved out nations by the creatures inhabiting it and Bikini Bottom is one of them. Bikini Bottom might just be a presidential city state republic, and every city naturally has a mayor to govern the city's internal issues. Not to mention that Bikini Bottom has its own navy since Krabs is a veteran, we dont know anything about the general army though.
I like how the minor detail of the cops darting after plankton as soon as he's out of frame is conveniently left out of that statement, but hey, whatever to sell the idea of the government being supposedly corrupt.

Actually, Patrick's famous relative (not ancestor as it means your pure blood) is a parody of Paul Revere and his ride is a parody of Revere's ride so it is actually set in the 1770s (which would be when Revere alarmed the whole Greater Boston area).
@@silasarpagaus3520 An ancestor is who you descend from (e.g.: parents, grandparents). Other relatives born before you (i.e.: older siblings, older cousins, aunts, and uncles) don't count as ancestors. Patrick Star may have been a very great nephew of Patrick Revere, Patrick Revere isn't his ancestor. He is an ancestor's sibling.
@seanalailima5929 maybe Patrick just used relative as a synonym to ancestor. I didnʼt know the difference either and I am only a little less dumber than Patrick
Patrick’s relative solves everything about their government: It was due to Civil War. Patrick Revere rode not to warn of redcoats, but of rampaging mollusks. Gary’s royal ancestors were mollusks. Also, there was a power struggle between high and low society as noted in The Battle of Bikini Bottom (no not the video game). While the hand washing bit was untrue as pointed out by one of the re-enactors, some parts of it were true including the final battle where the low class won. I call it “The War of the Mollusks”. Once King Ameba took power by marrying the queen, the monarchy slowly began to weaken over time. Eventually the People adopted a democratic government, with the blessing of the reigning royal family. However, the Mollusk faction with connections to high society didn’t like this transfer of power. So after careful planning, they enact a plan to overrun the city with wild clams and rush in after to clean it up and become the saviors to be put back into power. Thanks to Patrick Revere, it didn’t work. While many died, the people learned who was behind the Mollusk attack. Thus, war between the Mollusk Royalists and the Democratic Commons began. After the final battle, the mollusks were executed. The only survivors being those who weren’t sentient. Thus Gary’s line was preserved.
You are wrong in an important aspect, let me explain. You said that King Amoeba got to power by marrying Queen Mildew. But why do you think that Queen Mildew was the head of state of Bikini Bottom? Considering that the wife of a king-regnant is called a queen whereas the husband of a queen-regnant is called a prince proves that Queen Mildew became queen by marrying King Amoeba, not the other way around.
But in the episode Fiasco, they also arrested Squidward despite him being the one who called them, and at the same time, at the end of the episode, Squidward is still in jail despite not doing anything.
The entire Pacific Ocean as a geopolitical entity is governed by a monarch and his royal family. The monarch is currently King Neptune. The king's authority covers all cities, towns, and regions, including Bikini Bottom, in the Pacific Ocean, but because Neptune has more important things to concern himself with than the day-to-day administrative duties of the localities within the Pacific Ocean, he delegates his authority to mayors and other governmental representatives. Bikini Bottom has both a president and a mayor because it is a city-state, similar to the real-life city-state of Singapore. At the local level, the democratically elected mayor presides over the affairs of the city. (There might also be some sort of city council, comprised of three to seven elected persons, who make up the legislative branch of government.) At the regional/provincial level, the president serves as the head of state. He represents Bikini Bottom in interactions with other localities. Patrick and Gary are considered royalty in the same way that France still technically has a royal family, but that royal family has had no institutional or governmental power ever since the French Revolution. They're still recognized as royalty due to their ancestry, but they have no governmental power. Perhaps at some point in the past, Bikini Bottom was a princedom or fiefdom, and the family that Patrick and Gary descend from were its rulers, until the residents of Bikini Bottom overthrew the imperial government or until feudalism/monarchism simply faded away.
But King Neptune clearly isn't purely symbolic, though. In the first movie, he can send somebody to the dungeon or sentence them to death on a whim. Also, the episode with king krabs was likely a dream from Spongebob and Patrick being knocked out.
I think you miss the detail the mayor that tasted SpongeBob's "Krabby Patty" at 14:22 has different mustache (blonde colored) than the mayor that runs the bikini bottom (grey colored mustache), and the police commissioner doesn't have the mustache but look like the major, I think it's a hint that they are related maybe. They definitely are an oligarch.
*My take. I humbly ask you to consider it* I agree with you that the ancestors of Mr. Krabs propably used to rule Bikini Bottom long time ago but later lost their throne and became empoverished royalty, which forced them to become pirates (similar to Raubritter and other bandite-like nobles in the Middle Ages). Some time later, King Amoeba became the new ruler of Bikini Bottom, establishing a brand new royal family. Because King Amoeba was the only member of his royal family to actually hold the title of king, the monarchy must have been dissolved during or after his reign, with neither his daughter nor his son ever wearing the crown. If we take a closer look at the royal family tree, we might get to see two of the possible reasons for the abolition of the monarchy: *1stly,* the second born child of King Amoeba and Queen Mildew, Prince Callous, would propably have been the original choice to inherit the Kingdom of Bikini Bottom, because traditonally, the first born son of the king would be his heir. But Prince Callous “married” Prince Dingus, which makes him gay and excludes hin from the line of succession. But from this alone we learn that there must be or must have been other kingdoms neighboring Bikini Bottom, whose kings must have had royal sons like Prince Dingus. Both princesʼ son Carl might be adopted or-considering that Prince Callousʼ parents are literal primitive organisms-they arenʼt developed fish yet but hermaphrodite organisms instead, opening the possibility of them really being Carlʼs parents. *2ndly,* Princess Tulsa, who would have normally inherited the throne after her brother came out as homosexual, seemingly fell in love with the jester Yorick and possibly married him despite her parentsʼ approval. This marriage was inappropriate to her royal status and therefore excluded her from the line of succession, too. Those two reasons alone explain why King Amoeba and Queen Mildew ended up without a suitable heir, dooming the monarchy. Because amoeba and mildew are such little and primitive forms of life, I always suspected this new royal dynasty to have come into power following the disatrous nuclear bombing of the Bikini Atoll by the United States. This would have explained the shift from complex life forms like the crab King Krabs and the whale Princess Pearl ruling the city versus low life forms like amoeba and mildew. The latter could have rebuilt Bikini Bottom after the Second World War and the US nuclear bombing tests, explaining why nost houses in Bikini Bottom are literal human trash rather than the small traditional houses with adorable architecture as seen in Dunces and Dragons or SpongeBobʼs grandmotherʼs home. In this process of rebuilding the city, Amoeba may have become a great leader of the people of Bikini Bottom and ultimately he might have been crowned. You on the other hand date King Amoebaʼs reign before the Wild West and mainly cite the clothes of his granddaughter Maw as evidence. But to be honest, I think this is not that good of an argument, because in the countryside, especially in the aftermath of nuclear distruction, fishfolks might have still worn very old-fashioned dresses. This might have been especially the case for Maw, because she is very likely to have grown up in poverty, because her mother Princess Tulsa, after she eloped with her lover and left the royal court, wore old ragged dresses as seen in the royal family tree. Later in her life Maw might have becomee satisfied with her very old-school almost Western-like dresses and lived happily with her husband, Billy Bob, from the famous Star family, tracing their line all back to Patrick Revere. Now we fast forward to the episode Rule of Dumb, where a starfish, dressed like a high-ranking servant of a king, shows up and erroneously declares Patrick to be the King of Bikini Bottom, only to later see his mistake and declare that Patrickʼs cousin, Gary the Snail, is the true king. But that is most likely untrue again. Given that this starfish is confused enough to have already made a mistake in the first place by saying Patrickʼs the king, he might have made another error regarding Gary: Garyʼs father Sluggo Star was the first-born son of Billy Bob and Maw Star. Their second son is our dear Herbert Star, father of Patrick Star. While the wife of Herb is noted in the family tree, no wife of Sluggo is mentioned. Now let us remember the full name of Gary the Snail: Garold Wilson, Jr. Do you already notice something off? Let me show it to you: Garyʼs surname is Wilson, not Star, meaning that his parents werenʼt married, making Gary a child out of wedlock, propably the product of an affair of Sluggo, which may be the reason that Miss Wilson, Garyʼs mother, isnʼt shown. It is possible that Miss Wilson could no longer bear the pressures and demands of motherhood after Sluggo Star left her with their son and therefore gave Gary up for adoption or even abandoned him. This would explain how SpongeBob became the owner of this snail. The father of Miss Wilson propably had the name Garold, too. All of this reveals that Gary, being a literal bastard child (no offense), is excluded from the line of succession. A quick summary so far: If the monarchy of Bikini Bottom ever was to be restored, Gary and with him the most senior line of the royal family through Sluggo Star is exluded from the line of succession. To identify the legitimate king, we must search for the next most senior branch of the royal family, which we quickly find with Sluggoʼs brother Herbert Star, who obviously is still alive and the rightful King of Bikini Bottom, hooray! There is another interesting observation with the royal family tree I want to share: When Maw married Billy Bob, she married into the House of Star. All of this coupleʼs consequently in wedlock born decendants are members of the House of Star, which was replaced the House of Amoeba as the rightful royal dynasty of Bikini Bottom. One if many parallels from history is how the Royal Family of the United Kingdom and Ireland changed from the House of Hanover to the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha with Queen Victoriaʼs marriage to Prince Albert. Long live the House of Star! Hail King Herbert!
is no one talking about the fact that the mayors hair is gray and then in a later episode is brown i know the logical answer is he dyed it but still its something u can think about
Yeah in the later season it's a different color so it could be that he dyed it or it could be someone related to him like a brother. Either way it doesn't really affect the theory too much.
@@SpotTheDotI agree that he propably just dyed it and got re-elected. Could you please read my comment under this video? Iʼd like somebody to review my thoughts on this topic which I spent a year thinking about.
Yeah but that may have still been considered as a taboo in the old times of Bikini Botton, meaning that Prince Callous might have been excluded from the line of royal succession for his homosexual relationship with Prince Dingus.
@@deutschermichel5807 some Fish like Clownfish for Example reproduce exclusively though by starting as one Gender and changing it at some Point in Life or if no suitable Partner is available
@@Firestar-TV yes, either Prince Callous and Dingus actually mated and are the parents of Carl, or they adopted him. Either way itʼs propable that they were outcasts in Bikini Bottom for this because most fish reproduce in a binary sexual way and in SpongeBob we never see homosexual couples, therefore we can be sure that at least in the past, Bikinibottomites were so unaccepting of homosexuality that the royal dynasty literally ended with a gay crown prince
Corrections for a couple of minor mistakes you made: In "Dunces and Dragons," Squidly said "We'll be lucky if we get fed again by the 12th century," meaning the events of the episode, if they actually happened at all, happened before then. Mr. Mayor was also the mayor in "SpongeBob's Last Stand."
Billy bob couldn’t have reproduced Patrick’s father asexually because if an organism reproduces asexually it would have the exact same dna but we can see that they don’t
Nick: Now don't get too real Avatar.... you cant make it seem like Jet died. Also Nick: Spongebob's K/D Ratio is second only to that one shut-in who plays counterstrike 24/7
My headcanon: The Pacific Ocean as a whole is ruled by King Neptune (one of three at least), while SpongeBob and company most likely live in a separate nation that’s independent from Neptune’s rule (possibly because it’s all underneath the Marshall Islands alone), which explains the Mayors, and Bikini Bottom is the capitol of this nation, which explains the President (who’s probably not as good as he claims to be since he’s focused more on the capitol rather than the whole nation altogether).
Usually the Show does those types of things (Patrick sitting on Squidley) to show a connection between what's happened in the episode to the rest of the show. It's probably true that it's a hallucination, but because of that small connection they make it's hard to ignore the episode, especially because it's the only episode from that time period.
The King Neptune from the movie probably has absolute power over Bikini Bottom over a large area that includes Bikini Bottom. King Neptune the God probably rules the whole sea, if not the whole of the world's oceans.
I'd like to propose a side theory, the food judge is a separate character. His moustache and eyebrows appear brown; where all appeances of green mayor has grey hair.
Mr. Krabs' ancestor could've been a lord. In Western feudalism, Lords were high-ranking officials who were vassels of a king. So Medeval Krabs was a vassel of King Neptune.
Writers don't keep continuity and some coincidences happen over hundreds of episodes. Basically. Still fun to put a spit on it and try and work things out but I think most episodes are just taken on their own by the writers.
umm...Krab's family was never royalty, it was all a dream made up by Spongebob and Patrick when they were knocked out. Basically, this would eliminate the entirety of the Dunces and Dragons plot. So mid-way through Patrick's royal family tree, the monarchy dissolved and became Democratic, yet they still kept record of the family, incase they were to return to monarchy.
Would love to but Alex himself said that he's working on a new video where he's going to try to fix his own theories. If I even made a video of fixing his SpongeBob Theories it would become irrelevant really quickly. I will try to fix his new video if there is anything to fix.
6:14 I'm pretty sure she's just indicating that Spongebob killed her whirlybird. The other gravestones are just part of the cemetery and are not an indication that the whirlybird killed all of them.
If you notice, Mayor Green has a grey moustache and the Food Judge has a blond one. Could he have dyed it? Perhaps, but because he doesn't recognize the Krusty Krew or the Krabby Patty he could be a doppelganger or Mayor Green's twin brother. Maybe that's why his rule is so inconsistent. Sometimes his brother takes his place.
5:02 I figured the line was just meant to be from both parents shown and it was just an error and trying to fit all of it in so they placed Billy Bob over the line instad of the line between the both of them, but it's cool thinking it may just be the star fish genes.
I think at 14:28 the green mayor is younger because he has brown mustache and beard. Where in his other appearances, he has a gray mustache and beard. And that is maybe why he doesn’t recognize SpongeBob.
In defense of the "Doing Time" officers, the joke was that they were straightening out the parking meters to fix them. This could point to something about Bikini Bottom failing to maintain public property to the point the police go out of their way to do it themselves, but idk it's neither here nor there :P
This is a good example of growing up Children will often just enjoy life and watch it without overthinking Adults will often try to put everything into pattern😂
I always thought it was weird that Plankton got arrested instead of being frozen like Krabs, considering he literally enslaved all of Bikini Bottom and the King meanwhile all Krabs "did" was move his crown (Which he didn't do)
Not to be serious but "Arresting someone cuz you didnt invite them to your Party" sounds like a real thing a cop would do if you follow Letho Law. That guy covers CRAZY legal things like a judge arresting a kid for napping on a field trip. 😂
Bikini bottom could be like Germany which was a multitude of city states ruled by kings and dukes etc. Luxembourg is a grand duchy as well, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was a city state which included modern day Hanover in Germany which had a royal family - which later became the house of Windsor in the UK (name change during WWI), ie the ruling Royal family.
"The police stick out like a sore thumb. They usually aren't doing their job most of the time, the few times they are working they act really dumb" I guess the Spongebob universe is more similar to real life than we all realized
So, maybe in the old days, the Monarchy ruled with power, while using the parlimentary system as a voice, until modern day where parliament uses the monarchy as a voice. In the early episodes including the film, The King had brutal punishments, unfair system and was completely insane about his pride, but the later episodes, his power diminished. Somewhere along the lines, things changed, as it became more democratic. Not only that, the whole mayor thing, there will be more than one and each one, has power and the voice to oversee different things. But yes, you never see the president, like most countries, you dont know they are there.
A better analogy would be the holy Roman empire (not the Roman empire based in Rome). Various small towns under a local royalty under an overarching empire. The structure can change as needed as cannon means extremely little.

*My take. I humbly ask you to consider it*
I agree with you that the ancestors of Mr. Krabs propably used to rule Bikini Bottom long time ago but later lost their throne and became empoverished royalty, which forced them to become pirates (similar to Raubritter and other bandite-like nobles in the Middle Ages).
Some time later, King Amoeba became the new ruler of Bikini Bottom, establishing a brand new royal family. Because King Amoeba was the only member of his royal family to actually hold the title of king, the monarchy must have been dissolved during or after his reign, with neither his daughter nor his son ever wearing the crown. If we take a closer look at the royal family tree, we might get to see two of the possible reasons for the abolition of the monarchy:
*1stly,* the second born child of King Amoeba and Queen Mildew, Prince Callous, would propably have been the original choice to inherit the Kingdom of Bikini Bottom, because traditonally, the first born son of the king would be his heir. But Prince Callous “married” Prince Dingus, which makes him gay and excludes hin from the line of succession. But from this alone we learn that there must be or must have been other kingdoms neighboring Bikini Bottom, whose kings must have had royal sons like Prince Dingus. Both princesʼ son Carl might be adopted or-considering that Prince Callousʼ parents are literal primitive organisms-they arenʼt developed fish yet but hermaphrodite organisms instead, opening the possibility of them really being Carlʼs parents.
*2ndly,* Princess Tulsa, who would have normally inherited the throne after her brother came out as homosexual, seemingly fell in love with the jester Yorick and possibly married him despite her parentsʼ approval. This marriage was inappropriate to her royal status and therefore excluded her from the line of succession, too.
Those two reasons alone explain why King Amoeba and Queen Mildew ended up without a suitable heir, dooming the monarchy.
Because amoeba and mildew are such little and primitive forms of life, I always suspected this new royal dynasty to have come into power following the disatrous nuclear bombing of the Bikini Atoll by the United States. This would have explained the shift from complex life forms like the crab King Krabs and the whale Princess Pearl ruling the city versus low life forms like amoeba and mildew. The latter could have rebuilt Bikini Bottom after the Second World War and the US nuclear bombing tests, explaining why nost houses in Bikini Bottom are literal human trash rather than the small traditional houses with adorable architecture as seen in Dunces and Dragons or SpongeBobʼs grandmotherʼs home. In this process of rebuilding the city, Amoeba may have become a great leader of the people of Bikini Bottom and ultimately he might have been crowned.
You on the other hand date King Amoebaʼs reign before the Wild West and mainly cite the clothes of his granddaughter Maw as evidence. But to be honest, I think this is not that good of an argument, because in the countryside, especially in the aftermath of nuclear distruction, fishfolks might have still worn very old-fashioned dresses.

All of this reveals that Gary, being a literal bastard child (no offense), is excluded from the line of succession.
A quick summary so far:
If the monarchy of Bikini Bottom ever was to be restored, Gary and with him the most senior line of the royal family through Sluggo Star is exluded from the line of succession. To identify the legitimate king, we must search for the next most senior branch of the royal family, which we quickly find with Sluggoʼs brother Herbert Star, who obviously is still alive and the rightful King of Bikini Bottom, hooray!
There is another interesting observation with the royal family tree I want to share: When Maw married Billy Bob, she married into the House of Star. All of this coupleʼs consequently in wedlock born decendants are members of the House of Star, which was replaced the House of Amoeba as the rightful royal dynasty of Bikini Bottom. One if many parallels from history is how the Royal Family of the United Kingdom and Ireland changed from the House of Hanover to the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha with Queen Victoriaʼs marriage to Prince Albert.
Long live the House of Star!
Hail King Herbert!
is no one talking about the fact that the mayors hair is gray and then in a later episode is brown i know the logical answer is he dyed it but still its something u can think about
Yeah in the later season it's a different color so it could be that he dyed it or it could be someone related to him like a brother. Either way it doesn't really affect the theory too much.
@@SpotTheDotI agree that he propably just dyed it and got re-elected.
Could you please read my comment under this video?
Iʼd like somebody to review my thoughts on this topic which I spent a year thinking about.
Bro genuinely why do these not get more views they’re so good
Thanks For The Support!
@@SpotTheDot np you deserve it man!!
I didn't know our childhood show had so much lore it crazy they so much into everthing
4:05 lol just noticed that two Guys made Carl with each other. But I guess it makes Sense considering that some Fish can change their Gender
Yeah but that may have still been considered as a taboo in the old times of Bikini Botton, meaning that Prince Callous might have been excluded from the line of royal succession for his homosexual relationship with Prince Dingus.
@@deutschermichel5807 some Fish like Clownfish for Example reproduce exclusively though by starting as one Gender and changing it at some Point in Life or if no suitable Partner is available
@@Firestar-TV yes, either Prince Callous and Dingus actually mated and are the parents of Carl, or they adopted him. Either way itʼs propable that they were outcasts in Bikini Bottom for this because most fish reproduce in a binary sexual way and in SpongeBob we never see homosexual couples, therefore we can be sure that at least in the past, Bikinibottomites were so unaccepting of homosexuality that the royal dynasty literally ended with a gay crown prince
Also, Doing Time is just a hallucination.
Why would we arrest you? You already did your time.
Corrections for a couple of minor mistakes you made:
In "Dunces and Dragons," Squidly said "We'll be lucky if we get fed again by the 12th century," meaning the events of the episode, if they actually happened at all, happened before then.
Mr. Mayor was also the mayor in "SpongeBob's Last Stand."
Billy bob couldn’t have reproduced Patrick’s father asexually because if an organism reproduces asexually it would have the exact same dna but we can see that they don’t
Bikini Bottom could be like the Vatican City, being both a city and a country.
Nick: Now don't get too real Avatar.... you cant make it seem like Jet died.
Also Nick: Spongebob's K/D Ratio is second only to that one shut-in who plays counterstrike 24/7
2:45 did two prince's get married and have a child
Can't believe I never noticed that!
Carl was steril
My headcanon:
The Pacific Ocean as a whole is ruled by King Neptune (one of three at least), while SpongeBob and company most likely live in a separate nation that’s independent from Neptune’s rule (possibly because it’s all underneath the Marshall Islands alone), which explains the Mayors, and Bikini Bottom is the capitol of this nation, which explains the President (who’s probably not as good as he claims to be since he’s focused more on the capitol rather than the whole nation altogether).
image its just feudalism outside of the capital
Close enough. Welcome back alex bale
But Dunces & Dragons is revealed to be a dream (am discarding that Patrick was on Squidley (Squidward's ancestor). He was probably hallucinating).
Usually the Show does those types of things (Patrick sitting on Squidley) to show a connection between what's happened in the episode to the rest of the show. It's probably true that it's a hallucination, but because of that small connection they make it's hard to ignore the episode, especially because it's the only episode from that time period.
How many hours of SpongeBob were consumed in the making of this video?😄
So it’s just the real world LOL
Your example with the UK is also applicable to spain
A government only fulfilling its own greedy desires? What a funny fictional tale!
To add to Bikini Bottom Beautiful, he eventually did ticket SpongeBob but apparently he was there with the octopi (yes, they aren't squids).
The King Neptune from the movie probably has absolute power over Bikini Bottom over a large area that includes Bikini Bottom.
King Neptune the God probably rules the whole sea, if not the whole of the world's oceans.
Thank yoy for speaking out on this issue. We will tolerate no more injustice in bikini bottom
This is not a bad theory.
Most realistic version of a government in any tv show
SpongeBob fans create better lore for the show than most shows even have for themselves.
11:30 pm when I found this. The timing is immaculate
I'd like to propose a side theory, the food judge is a separate character. His moustache and eyebrows appear brown; where all appeances of green mayor has grey hair.
Mr. Krabs' ancestor could've been a lord. In Western feudalism, Lords were high-ranking officials who were vassels of a king.
So Medeval Krabs was a vassel of King Neptune.
Writers don't keep continuity and some coincidences happen over hundreds of episodes. Basically. Still fun to put a spit on it and try and work things out but I think most episodes are just taken on their own by the writers.
Close enough but.. welcome back Alex Bale
I’ve always been wondering about the back stories of SpongeBob like the government. Thank you.
umm...Krab's family was never royalty, it was all a dream made up by Spongebob and Patrick when they were knocked out. Basically, this would eliminate the entirety of the Dunces and Dragons plot. So mid-way through Patrick's royal family tree, the monarchy dissolved and became Democratic, yet they still kept record of the family, incase they were to return to monarchy.
Once your done debunking Alex Bale's SpongeBob theories, can you do his other theories please?
Would love to but Alex himself said that he's working on a new video where he's going to try to fix his own theories. If I even made a video of fixing his SpongeBob Theories it would become irrelevant really quickly. I will try to fix his new video if there is anything to fix.
@@SpotTheDotif you look real closely, the police are actually straightening out the parking meter
I believe the green mayor and the police commissoner could be grandfather & grandson
Intresting
and the food judge is the son
i will say king neptune is the king and ruler of the ENTIRE ocean, like bikini bottom is a spec in his eyes
"Beating a parking meter for no good reason." There was a reason. They were "straightening" it out. Thats the joke.
Yo this is a solid theory
Thanks For The Support!
6:14 I'm pretty sure she's just indicating that Spongebob killed her whirlybird. The other gravestones are just part of the cemetery and are not an indication that the whirlybird killed all of them.
If you notice, Mayor Green has a grey moustache and the Food Judge has a blond one. Could he have dyed it? Perhaps, but because he doesn't recognize the Krusty Krew or the Krabby Patty he could be a doppelganger or Mayor Green's twin brother. Maybe that's why his rule is so inconsistent. Sometimes his brother takes his place.
The police beat the parking meter because they were trying to straighten it out😂😂
The politics of SpongeBob is something I didn't expect to see today.
5:02 I figured the line was just meant to be from both parents shown and it was just an error and trying to fit all of it in so they placed Billy Bob over the line instad of the line between the both of them, but it's cool thinking it may just be the star fish genes.
I think at 14:28 the green mayor is younger because he has brown mustache and beard. Where in his other appearances, he has a gray mustache and beard. And that is maybe why he doesn’t recognize SpongeBob.
I’m so old, I’ve never seen an episode of SpongeBob with a mayor
Ain't no way Squidward's inability to play wonderful was because his ancestors cursed him tenfold, talk about being being petty.
In defense of the "Doing Time" officers, the joke was that they were straightening out the parking meters to fix them. This could point to something about Bikini Bottom failing to maintain public property to the point the police go out of their way to do it themselves, but idk it's neither here nor there :P
Plankton being let free because the prison is full with how small he is is insane LOL
"like the uk" gives an example without knowing anything about the example ultimately getting it all wrong
This is a good example of growing up
Children will often just enjoy life and watch it without overthinking
Adults will often try to put everything into pattern😂
plankton was arrested at the end of the 1st movie but could be on behalf of Neptun
I always thought it was weird that Plankton got arrested instead of being frozen like Krabs, considering he literally enslaved all of Bikini Bottom and the King meanwhile all Krabs "did" was move his crown (Which he didn't do)
a profound piece of media indeed.
Not to be serious but "Arresting someone cuz you didnt invite them to your Party" sounds like a real thing a cop would do if you follow Letho Law.
That guy covers CRAZY legal things like a judge arresting a kid for napping on a field trip. 😂
Also notice when Mr Krabs was greasing the wheel of the commissioner's car he was literally greasing some wheels which is lingo for bribe
Bikini bottom could be like Germany which was a multitude of city states ruled by kings and dukes etc. Luxembourg is a grand duchy as well, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was a city state which included modern day Hanover in Germany which had a royal family - which later became the house of Windsor in the UK (name change during WWI), ie the ruling Royal family.
Lore of The Bikini Bottom Government Theory... Momentum 100
In all respect and honor to Benny’s memory, keep the tale going 🙏🏾
Gotta admit though the Green Mayor does have drip
would vote 9/10
This sounds like it was written by a 7th grader
"The police stick out like a sore thumb. They usually aren't doing their job most of the time, the few times they are working they act really dumb"
I guess the Spongebob universe is more similar to real life than we all realized
The reason why it may have more than just one mayor is that mayors have a mayoral term of 4 years. After that is up, the elections start.
I'm pretty sure that is what police look like doing their job correctly. That's a very realistic depiction.
That ending made me lmafo that I complied.
That suddenly sharp dramatic ending and melody in minor
Babe wake up, new SpongeBob theory dropped
In which year did SpongeBob SquarePants begin in-universe?
The background music around minute 6 is fire af
Now this, this is content.
I was so confused when the new Mayor showed up, I thought the mayor was a big green fish with a top hat!
Dunces and dragons was a dream sequence man.
SpongeBob is my favorite show and I love it
SpongeBob wearing a Freemason hat doing the baphomet hand gesture with an all seeing eye on his head. That’s the truth
So, maybe in the old days, the Monarchy ruled with power, while using the parlimentary system as a voice, until modern day where parliament uses the monarchy as a voice. In the early episodes including the film, The King had brutal punishments, unfair system and was completely insane about his pride, but the later episodes, his power diminished. Somewhere along the lines, things changed, as it became more democratic. Not only that, the whole mayor thing, there will be more than one and each one, has power and the voice to oversee different things. But yes, you never see the president, like most countries, you dont know they are there.
Its 2 am right now for me...
They are constitutional-monarchists
A better analogy would be the holy Roman empire (not the Roman empire based in Rome).
Various small towns under a local royalty under an overarching empire.
The structure can change as needed as cannon means extremely little.

I know this is for entertainment and jokes and stuff but let’s be honest this is pretty crazy sitting here at two am watching this with a big ass bag of popcorn
“The police said nothing to figure out out that squidward was lying they just ran in and arrested squidward” don’t you mean squilliam was lying 😂
Anyway good vid tho been wondering about some of that stuff
If spongebob characters were around in medieval times does that disprove the nuke theory?
I just noticed something, how the hell do two Princes have a kid? I mean, unless they adopted.
“Looks normal at first?”
Lol no. 😂
i like to see the fact that they change frequently is less a sign of democracy and more a sign of a midevil feudal government where the seat of mayor is constantly switching hands in bloody conflicts where they vy for power over the thrown
