Classic SpongeBob SquarePants episodes are remembered for the generations that followed them, including The Sponge Who Could Fly, also known as the lost SpongeBob episode. During the story, Patchy the Pirate ends up finding the lost episode, and it's a bunch of cheap walk cycles.
While SpongeBob's walk cycle is only a small part of the episode, it's also the most memorable. Why does it work so well in the context of this story?

Tbh I imagine this is how most “lost episodes” are. Nobody dies, or anything, it’s most likely just an animation/audio test, and I get that this isn’t really a lost episode, but u get my point
yea
Yeah
i hate lost episode its just all characters died "scary" crying,ITS EVEN FAN MADE,POORLY MADE and fake!!
Yeah I prefer the test ones than the scary ones, but when it comes to ACTUAL lost episodes, I enjoy a good mystery to see if the said episode will be recovered and resurfaced. Which is why I enjoy the lost media side of TH-cam. It's so interesting
@@G_Fantastic ikr! Like either that or the creators just didn’t like it, like no creator would make an episode where everyone dies and like cries blood unless their on something
One of the things that I love about Lost Media is that we just get too know all of these unaired pilots or lost episodes. And when we find them it feels so good.
Thats the beauty of them
Habari
Exactly.
Me too.
100% agreed with you dog.
I remember that walk so well. It's definitely one of my favorite moments ever.
Same.
I remember that episode too.
It lowkey creeped me out as a kid for some reason
@@hellothere10yearsago97 spongebob as a whole scared as a kid
Me too
Strangely enough, the walkcycle isn't actually what pops into my mind with this episode at all- it's actually Patchy's fanboy freakout that stuck with me the most! Seeing the bed full of spongebob merch being tossed in particular sent me back to the first time I watched this episode! Not sure why, it just hit me with the nostalgia!
I stop it to watch that too! He throws all the stuff away, Potty yells at him to come back and he puts it all back IN REVERSE!! LOLOL
Nick building up the hype for the so called "Lost Episode" so more people can tune in, just so they could troll the audience with a walk cycle:
*I was a business man, doing business*
I see you everywhere
*[It used to creep me out as a kid, just because of the "lost episode" title.]*
I found it weird that it had the lost episode as a title when I was a little kid ngl
Sawa
I thought it was some episode that was too scary or weird for SpongeBob
it ain't even scary it was annyoing
I was waiting for a jumpscare
This is the most meme-able scene in the series, and the series is already filled to the brim with meme-able scenes.
This scene is annoying ngl

@@lexiyah643 literally how
The walk cycle was so creepy to me as a kid. There were no words other than music and the faces, the faces he makes and how is body contorts was creepy. It went on for so long and it kept repeating. It’s my version of Mickie in hell.
It used to scare me too
same, i would always avoid this episode for that reason.
glad i wasn’t the only one who was lowkey creeped out by this lol
Same honestly I'd look away and mute the TV when it happened
i've never seen this but Im 8 today and Im not in fear
When I first saw the episode I assumed he was walking to the Krusty Krab, then the cutoff happened and I was as confused as Patchy lol
I'd love to experience that

@@asackboyplush6508 it’s just a dumb bot don’t give it any attention it’ll delete the comment on its own and it’s just a useless waste of sperm
I completely forgot this existed. I didn't even know this was part of "The Sponge That Could Fly." The funny thing is, is that after seeing this, I DO remember seeing the walk cycle and Patchy throwing a tantrum, but I don't remember a single thing of the actual episode. I think that's so crazy. Something about the SpongeBob specials with Patchy make me so nostalgic.
The special itself is so memorable compared to the actual episode they hype up. The episode itself is mid, but all the Patchy scenes and the walk cycle are great.
You know, this is likely something that would be a lost episode. It is called the Lost episode after all. And the walk cycle is like a test animation for animators to use. That was never meant to be released to the public.
Boom ya hit the nail right on the head
Say it again.
the walk cycle creeped me out as a kid idek why, but now i can appreciate it along with everything else relating to early spongebob
same fr idk why
I actually had this episode on a DVD and remember being so intrigued by this walk cycle and I think I even tried to emulate it once

Why are people SO intrigued to a bait comment
I mean reply.
I tried it as a kid too
when i was a kid watching this episode for the first time, the walk cycle actually freaked me out. i was so confused watching it, I wondered if this was actually happening and it lowkey gave me nightmares. but now as an adult I can appreciate what they did and it funny to me now. and yes the music is catchy

I forgot that the walk cycles even existed. I thought that I imagined it for years tbh
What if this video is your imagination.
You have scizophrenia
The super catchy music, with the wacky animations of Spongebob, actually made it very fun to watch.
This whole thing scared the heck out of me when I was little but I can respect it now
I can see how this is scary to some people
FR. the walk cycle scared me to death for some reason
Finally other ppl that felt this way
Thank god I wasn’t the only kid terrified of the fucking walk cycle
I think the reason why its scary is because its just very uncanny
Its spongebob just walking for basically 2 minutes with nothing happening so something does feel wrong
I loved Patchy’s character. His segments were my favorite part of spongebob when I was younger. It’s weird for me to think people forget he was apart of the show in its earlier years. I had this episode and a few others on dvd and I loved watching it over and over again💀 I’m pretty sure I still have them somewhere but they most likely have a few scratches on them from how often I’d watch them😅
Of all the SB spinoffs we've had (so far), I am both surprised and disappointed that there's no live action Patchy show. He comes in second to Ice King in my list of favorite Tom Kenny characters. It could be similar to Pee-wee's Playhouse, except nautical-themed of course, with people dropping by and occasionally they'd have SB pop on.
That actually sounds amazing!
@@Slenderslime462 thanks! My other idea for that would be to make it more of a MST3K-style show with Patchy and Polly riffing actual SB cartoons
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 honestly I’d prefer to watch the Pee-wee’s playhouse type show, it would be a lot different than the current spongebob shows, and I think people would like it more, especially if they were to throw in bits of spongebob clips that were made specifically for the show!
@@Slenderslime462 and Nick used to be really good at those types of shows too, like Weinerville or the Stick Stickley Show (yeah, I'm an old old school fan lol).
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1yeah he was and probably still is today, I mean he’s still full of energy to continue voicing spongebob, so why not a show like this? If Nickelodeon ever decided to pitch the idea, I’m sure he’d go for it
I feel like it'd make more sense if the walk cycles were indeed a "lost episode" specifically meant as an animation test, and Patchy would find an actual full-length lost episode in like, his backyard or something, which would have led into The Sponge Who Could Fly
Either way, I still think that the whole special is pretty underrated and has some shining moments, the walk cycles being one of them

Flat-earthers: *What a rip*
こんにちは金正恩さん、思っていました。
I find it funny that I remember the walk cycle, I remember patchy’s reactions to it and everything he did to find the video, but for some reason, I don’t remember them being linked. Before watching this vid, I remembered the walk cycle as something that happened on a random episode before Spongebob went about his usual day and patchy’s whole thing just being a patchy centric ep by itself. I blamed how young I was when this came out
I remember watching as a kid and getting SO sad when patchy started destroying all his spongebob stuff
Nobody:........
Everyone after the vid: *proceeds to search either spongbob walk cycle or spongebob lost episode*
Ok
I love how gently Patchy brushes the pictures of SpongeBob on the wall during his rage, which makes said pictures _violently fly off._ Amazing.
5:23 So happy to see you referenced the audio commentary from the SpongeBob Lost at Sea DVD.
I'm surprised you didn't mention that a lot of the different walk cycles are actually pop culture references like when he does the "keep on truckin" walk (the one where he's snapping his fingers). Its kind of an homage to old school animation
This is the sorta content I was hoping was gonna be mentioned in this video. Good call
To me I see it as a reference to Suicide Mouse Creepypasta. To sum it up: It was a Micky Mouse walk cycle on a street, and it ended with a creepy face. Nick likely didn't do the creepy face to not scare kids, but from the episode which references the Suicide Squidward Creepypasta(don't ask which one I don't remember), we know Nick is willing to reference Creepypastas
@@Voidbear_FNaF_and_Undertale HELLA late, but at the time of this episode's release they weren't as willing to do that, and it's believed the reason they ever referenced that creepypasta in the first place was because of the younger replacement for hillenburg
it's also unlikely they would even reference a creepypasta that, mind you, had yet to exist at the time of the episode's release (suicide mouse was created in 2009, meanwhile the sponge that could fly aired in 2003)
i am aware by now you likely already know, just pointing this out for any passersby
This scene really is memorable and my favorite part from the lost episode. The only reason I’ve seen this lost episode is because I own the DVD. 😁
Yep, the SpongeBob Lost at Sea DVD. I remember that.

@@better5486 damn bro you got the whole squad laughing
I also thought the scene was a reference to animation test videos studios like to put out to see how well characters can interact with different emotions and/or movements, which is what the walk cycle somewhat portrays. Also tapes like these actually tend to be discarded, or stored very secretly to actually give a sense of it being real lost spongebob media. So in a logical and realistic sense, it works!
This and the House Party episode are really underrated
Down down down defines the show
Patchy during the lost episode build up:

Dude i thought the walk cycle was like some mandela effect type stuff cuz i was for sure thinking i imagined it
Not me.

GRRRRRRRR SPONGEBOB BETRAYED US! *RIPS PAINTING OFF THE WALL AND HAVING A TANTRUM LIKE A 6 YEAR OLD*
The entirety of Sponge Who Could Fly is genius and very underrated. I always thought of the episode as a parody of when the show jumped the shark and it is by far the episode with the most layers of irony (which is probably why it didn't spawn many memes).
In the lost episode where patchy was at the park. Every kid there was hanging out for real.
And for the merry go round thing, Tom Kenny threw up in a trash can soon after the kids spun him one makes fun of him saying “Ha puke-y the pirate”
Fun fact: When you watch the Patchy Freakout in French, in one part, You can hear "REEEAAAH!" In the bedroom - I have no idea if the French Dub Person tried to do a scream or just had a aneurism.
The greatest troll of all time 😂
Trolling before it was a thing.
This was the most silliest, and randomness moment literally in a SpongeBob episode! 😂
As a kid I always hid behind the couch when I was alone and this the walking cycle played.
This part REALLY confused me as a kid
When I was 4 I was scared of the walk cycle scene. I would hide when the scene would air
I still love how much of an homage to early animation the walk cycle was
One of my favorite scenes from Spongebob
Sawa
I always found this scene really creepy, idk why, gonna rewatch it no interruptions and come back.
Edit: Ok so I see how it got me:
1. His faces when phase 2 and 3 of being squished down, and when he is really tall, and making exaggerated movements. It just unsettles me, still.
2. I used to have, and still a little, a fear of being watched, or not being alone, when I should be. So him sneakily moving like that made me fell like someone was there.
same. this is exactly how i felt about it.,
Yes 💯
To me, this episode was an ad in disguise. All of the merch that Patchy had made me jealous. Since then, I always asked for Spongebob merch for my birthdays as a kid. At one point I even had a spongebob cookie jar that talked lolll
The walk cycle is something that I will never forgot in my entire life
@@better5486 a have a genuine question, do you have anything better to do?
@@MashedPotatoInMyShoe I’ve got something better to do. Report his ass.
I don’t think I’ve ever been smacked this hard with nostalgia
I always thought as a kid that the spongebob in the walk cycle was an alien posing as Spongebob.
One of the first SpongeBob DVD's that I got contain this "lost episode"; when I saw it, I didn't care about it (since this is one of the first episodes that I saw in this show. Now, I only listen to it because it is a bop
That lost episode created a meme and you know what meme is it.
what, brodyquest?
What meme?
This episode was on a dvd from the early 00's, I believe i still may have this dvd. I distinctly remember watching it back in 2012 or so, and was very confused by it and didn't pay too much attention. If I'm able to find it, I'll upload part of it.
Ah yes.
This episode was stuck in my head ever since.
It truly is genius.
Even though i was barely a year old when this episode aired but I loved it on reruns.
Can you recall when about you first saw it?
@@RB01.10 about 2008. I was 6 years old but thats it.
i remember seeing this episode and the walk cycle kinda scared me lol
So fun fact about the walk cycle, the portions where spongebob is kicking his feet way out in front of him may be a reference to John Lennon, where he was pictured walking in a very similar fashion.
I think this video has a great retrospective view on an iconic piece of media that was first frowned apoun but now is cherished in pop culture.
Exactly.
Back in 2003, the Internet wasn’t as widely used and trolling wasn’t a thing yet.
I used to always do this walk cycle dance on the way to the bus or school 😭😭
I use to get scared from it too it still scares me like I felt I was being watched when that walk cycle episode would come on
Honestly that walk cycle scared the shit out of me. It freaked me out. It wasn't normal. I kept thinking that something bad was going to happen. The music creeped me out for some reason too.
I loved this episode I dont even really remember the episode besides the walk cycle😂
I remember when I was younger I used to act out the walk cycle like all the time 😂
Also I can't remember the last time this episode was on TV lmao
*edited because I accidentally said "video" and not "episode"
Sawa 😂
You aren’t the only one
Yeah I miss the old episodes. While when I was a kid the newest season were 6 & 7, atleast they still streamed first 3 seasons too
@@hal-fling Yeah I miss when I used to be able to just watch SpongeBob and not have a care in the world
Bro why 😐😂
It was also the scariest thing I had seen when I was 5.
I remember watching it for the first time and I just laughed my ass off like I knew that was the joke and just loved it even to this day I enjoy watching it
The Patchy and Potty parts were probably the best part of the special.
I thought the episode was pretty good too.
The thought of Spongebob becoming a superhero but soon realizes he’s in over his head and that it’s not for him was a pretty cool idea at that time (for 2003).
Wow I remember the hype. We were talking about it for weeks at school. I called my mom into the room crying thinking the tv was broke 😂. The writers really trolled a generation of kids hard af.
I used to be scared of the walk cycle because of the faces that he makes
And I never wanted to watch it at night
And I never remembered it being so long
This is the biggest fever dream for me because I've never even heard of this episode or seen a reference to this walk cycle once but you talk about it like it's the most popular thing ever lmao
Honestly, i miss patchy. He was one of the better characters

Everytime the song came on the radio as a kid Id just knew It as sponebobs walk song, The walk animation Is actually really dope.
When I first saw the walk cycle I was kinda confused
This is probably the longest video I’ve seen from Vailskibum
It’s a guide for people when they’re animating Spongebob
Heey I’m right here 5:13 haha. Great video bro!!
I remember seeing this for the first time when I was 6. To date, I’ve never been more disappointed
Hapana
But you surely found out it was a joke as the episode progressed right?
@@RB01.10 you overestimate he intelligence of 6 year olds
This whole episode was one of my favorites because the walk cycle had such catchy music, seeing Patchy deal with continuous searching only to get this anti-humor climax that formulated my idea of what comedic timing is as well as parts of my sense of humor, and the music in The Sponge Who Could Fly was all just so memorable. I still hum the whole "I want to fly so very high and touch the sky" song sometimes to myself. I'm 30 and I still remember this episode fondly, it's still stuck in my mind. It really is brilliant.
I never knew Stephen Hillenburg made a cameo in the show!!! neat
Me either
And once again rip Stephen hillenburg
As soon as I saw the title I had the walk cycle music boppin in my head
same
When spongebob ends, whether it be 10 years, 30, or even 50, I want patchy to come back with one more lost episode.
Classic Spongebob always puts a smile on my face as I walk cycle to work.
I LOVED THAT EPISODE AS A KID. I still have the DVD for it!
I remember seeing it live back in March 2003.
I remember going swimming to the Y near me and then making it home in time to see this.
Back then, you had to be lucky enough to catch a show when it came on or have a blank VHS recording tape available LOL
Rhe Patchy the Pirate segment followed by the walk cycle was easily my favorite part orlf the lost episode and I remember the hype and build up, lol
And many found his freakout of his ransacked apartment terrifying for some reason.
Is it me or the walk cycle felt felt longer on dvd?
I know it's an old video but-
Fun fact about this episode: The moment where Patchy throws all his SpongeBob merch out, the merchandise seen are all off looking bootlegs they made on purpose, because it's not allowed to advertise real merch in a kids show
I always thought that's really funny, that they had to make official bootleg looking merch for this scene
The beginning of the lost episodes. :)
You mean the lost episode genre?
I actually have a DVD that had this episode. I remember watching this as a child in my grandma’s car, on the flip down TV on the roof.
OMG, I remember those!
I remember watching that as a kid
Hapana
I watched the lost episode in My TV
5:09
Alright, that's my animation!
That walk was the best part of the whole special
Shout out to Tom Kenny and all the awesome stuff he's brought us over the years. From SpongeBob and Patchy the Pirate to the Ice King and Squanchy. Awesome actor.
you mean to squaunch me that tom squanchy squanches squanchy?
I only saw this episode once as a kid on the day it aired. And I don't remember a single thing from this episode...except the walk cycle scene. lol
