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.
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.

@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.
If you look at the judge of that food competition, he actually has different colored facial hair than the mayor usually does (The mayor usually has a pale green or more commonly grey mustache while the judge from that episode has orange). It's possible that its simply his twin brother, a relative, or someone completely unrelated. This would explain his lack of familiarity with the others and why he's not mayor in that episode.
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 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.

*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!
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."
Have you also considered that in the episode “Battle for Bikini Bottom” there was some sort of revolution in some sort of American Revolution style war possibly dissolving the monarchy at some point, this could explain why Gary and Patrick don’t know about their royal ancestors
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 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.
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.

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
"beating a parking meter for no real reason" They were straightening it out. Not only did they say they were doing that, but you can see them literally straightening it.
Ngl it isn’t too confusing to understand, it’s kinda like Australian politics. - We have a king (cause we’re still apart of the UK) - we have a prime minister who well no one knows what exactly he does but our last one was know for taking holidays when shit hit the fan. - we have local mayors which focus on the town/city they are attached to (ie Sydney Mayor role will be to make Sydney an enjoyable city to both live in and visit to making sure to bring in business and people without affecting those already living there. Just like in spongebob
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 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).
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'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.
That's the only thing you find weird about Patrick's family tree, not the fact that two male siblings made another male. Not for no reason, they explicitly say that they are straightening the meters out.
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.
the police officers beating the parking meter were straightening it, like literally. even their dialogue in the scene says so, and they were going to straighten out the next parking meter. it wasn’t stupidity in that one case, they were just fixing the meters, man.
My theory on why Mr Krabs gets away with so much of his deeds is that the krusty krab is the single greatest source of revenue in bikini bottom thanks to the krabby patties, which themselves are also amazingly popular. Therefore the law officials and government in bikini bottom have a unspoken agreement amongst themselves that so long as the krusty krab keeps making money and selling krabby patties exclusively in bikini bottom, which in turn gives them a lot of tax revenue and tourism, mr krabs shall be overlooked whenever he does something wrong for the most part, and when he occasionally does do something that cannot be overlooked easily like when he stole the clam at the zoos pearl and caused a rampage, it will be met with a slap on the wrist. This is why Plankton on the other hand does often get firm punishment, like jail, because the chum bucket does not make much if any money and thus provides little benefit to the town and the officials.
I think Plankton is running the Chum Bucket as a cover for a money laundering scheme until he can finally steal the Krabby Patty secret formula in the Chum Bucket (not happening, at least not permanently)
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.
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.
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.
So why is a mayor supposed to be well off? If they dont have legitimate old wealth, a new mayor becoming rich means theyre abusing their position, corrupt..
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. 😂
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.
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.
amazing next video would be "Who Controls the Green Mayor of Bikini Bottom? Analyzing Hegemony of Big Fishy-Business Through A Marxist-Engills Lens" and throw Bubble Bass in there too somehow, he's probably an intelligence operative sent to hamper the radical communist Squidward & his unionization efforts and break Spongebob's cherubic revolutionary spirit
My headcanon is that Bikini Bottom is a republican city state with a sort of 'President-Mayor'. Neptune, being both a religious god-figure and a literal monarch, likely serves some sort of ceremonial role, similar to how the British monarch serves as the head of state in Canada, Australia, and many Caribbean nations.

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!
1:48 it means they have an eletorial system or a democracy, thats not the same as being democratic.
Electoral
It kinda is
"Being a democracy is not the same as democratic" uuuh OK sure
Democracy is not the same as democratic? What are u talking about
@@Oscar_the_fascist_slayerit’s funny how you think people will take you seriously with that shooter as your pfp lolll
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."
Have you also considered that in the episode “Battle for Bikini Bottom” there was some sort of revolution in some sort of American Revolution style war possibly dissolving the monarchy at some point, this could explain why Gary and Patrick don’t know about their royal ancestors
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 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.
I was just about to say this based off the little we see the personalities seem a little different
Bro genuinely why do these not get more views they’re so good
Thanks For The Support!
@@SpotTheDot np you deserve it man!!
Also, Doing Time is just a hallucination.
Why would we arrest you? You already did your time.
7:25 Nah, they were beating it back into shape
Dude I’m so high watching this right now and it’s the most insane fucking thing I think I have EVER see.
Literally same
Bikini Bottom could be like the Vatican City, being both a city and a country.
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.
A government only fulfilling its own greedy desires? What a funny fictional tale!
i will say king neptune is the king and ruler of the ENTIRE ocean, like bikini bottom is a spec in his eyes
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
Your example with the UK is also applicable to spain
Close enough. Welcome back alex bale
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
I’m so old, I’ve never seen an episode of SpongeBob with a mayor
"beating a parking meter for no real reason"
They were straightening it out. Not only did they say they were doing that, but you can see them literally straightening it.
So it’s just the real world LOL
Just packed a bowl and im so ready
"Beating a parking meter for no good reason." There was a reason. They were "straightening" it out. Thats the joke.
Hey, this aint my SpongeBob guy, aka, Alex Bale 😤 but I'll tske it =)
Ngl it isn’t too confusing to understand, it’s kinda like Australian politics.
- We have a king (cause we’re still apart of the UK)
- we have a prime minister who well no one knows what exactly he does but our last one was know for taking holidays when shit hit the fan.
- we have local mayors which focus on the town/city they are attached to (ie Sydney Mayor role will be to make Sydney an enjoyable city to both live in and visit to making sure to bring in business and people without affecting those already living there.
Just like in spongebob
Yall sleeping on the fact that both GARY and PATRICK’S grandad is Billy Bob
When it comes to forced evolution from nuclear testing it’s not really that farfetched
Why are we assuming that there aren't multiple royal families and that therefore the Krabs royals got "replaced"?
Thank yoy for speaking out on this issue. We will tolerate no more injustice in bikini bottom
This is not a bad theory.
I’m returning high so I can understand the video
I’m back to watch the video
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 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
To add to Bikini Bottom Beautiful, he eventually did ticket SpongeBob but apparently he was there with the octopi (yes, they aren't squids).
Plankton being let free because the prison is full with how small he is is insane LOL
11:30 pm when I found this. The timing is immaculate
I feel like it was an accurate representation of law enforcement
Most realistic version of a government in any tv show
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'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.
I’ve always been wondering about the back stories of SpongeBob like the government. Thank you.
2:45 did two prince's get married and have a child
Can't believe I never noticed that!
Carl was steril
Based SpongeBob
Typo
Yo this is a solid theory
Thanks For The Support!
Plankton rich with barley any customers 🤣🤣🤣
That's the only thing you find weird about Patrick's family tree, not the fact that two male siblings made another male. Not for no reason, they explicitly say that they are straightening the meters out.
The background music around minute 6 is fire af
I know it’s just a show but this was actually very interesting
The police beat the parking meter because they were trying to straighten it out😂😂
That ending made me lmafo that I complied.
That suddenly sharp dramatic ending and melody in minor
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.
So basically the guy that runs the bank runs the town what a shocker.
Gotta admit though the Green Mayor does have drip
would vote 9/10
the police officers beating the parking meter were straightening it, like literally. even their dialogue in the scene says so, and they were going to straighten out the next parking meter. it wasn’t stupidity in that one case, they were just fixing the meters, man.
If you asked the writers they would prolly say something like Bro its not that deep😂
I believe the green mayor and the police commissoner could be grandfather & grandson
Intresting
and the food judge is the son
My theory on why Mr Krabs gets away with so much of his deeds is that the krusty krab is the single greatest source of revenue in bikini bottom thanks to the krabby patties, which themselves are also amazingly popular. Therefore the law officials and government in bikini bottom have a unspoken agreement amongst themselves that so long as the krusty krab keeps making money and selling krabby patties exclusively in bikini bottom, which in turn gives them a lot of tax revenue and tourism, mr krabs shall be overlooked whenever he does something wrong for the most part, and when he occasionally does do something that cannot be overlooked easily like when he stole the clam at the zoos pearl and caused a rampage, it will be met with a slap on the wrist. This is why Plankton on the other hand does often get firm punishment, like jail, because the chum bucket does not make much if any money and thus provides little benefit to the town and the officials.
I think Plankton is running the Chum Bucket as a cover for a money laundering scheme until he can finally steal the Krabby Patty secret formula in the Chum Bucket (not happening, at least not permanently)
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.
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.
a profound piece of media indeed.
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.
I was so confused when the new Mayor showed up, I thought the mayor was a big green fish with a top hat!
I love this thank you!!!!!!! 😊
Amazing video
I always wondered who the mayor of Bikini Bottom was and I got the answer after watching the video
In all respect and honor to Benny’s memory, keep the tale going 🙏🏾
SpongeBob is my favorite show and I love it
So why is a mayor supposed to be well off? If they dont have legitimate old wealth, a new mayor becoming rich means theyre abusing their position, corrupt..
SpongeBob fans create better lore for the show than most shows even have for themselves.
The politics of SpongeBob is something I didn't expect to see today.
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. 😂
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 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.
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
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
amazing next video would be "Who Controls the Green Mayor of Bikini Bottom? Analyzing Hegemony of Big Fishy-Business Through A Marxist-Engills Lens" and throw Bubble Bass in there too somehow, he's probably an intelligence operative sent to hamper the radical communist Squidward & his unionization efforts and break Spongebob's cherubic revolutionary spirit
My headcanon is that Bikini Bottom is a republican city state with a sort of 'President-Mayor'. Neptune, being both a religious god-figure and a literal monarch, likely serves some sort of ceremonial role, similar to how the British monarch serves as the head of state in Canada, Australia, and many Caribbean nations.
I never knew the SpongeBob rabbit hole was this deep!
Ain't no way Squidward's inability to play wonderful was because his ancestors cursed him tenfold, talk about being being petty.
