“Can you spare a dime” is probably one of the most relatable and definitely one of the more serious Spongebob episodes. It shows us how easy it is for our lives to be ruined just by being accused or loosing our jobs. It shows us how hard it is to actually achieve dreams and where it can ACTUALLY put you in life.
@@powerstar-uf7oh You'll find yourself very alone that way. Depending on your personality that is certainly a viable option. But not everyone is able to handle being by themselves for extended periods of time. Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke about the myth of the "self made man."
It’s always been one of my favorite episodes. Also that taught us to not let anyone take advantage of us and mooch off of us. Even kind hearted people have their limits.
I related HARD to that episode. I don't have PTSD or anything like that, but I DO have a major fear of getting sick/injured. I have since I was a child. Also, putting aside it being painfully relatable, I thought that episode had some really funny/memorable parts.
I literally rolled my eyes when I heard him say the episode dealt with OCD. I totally thought it was going to be Squidward being clean and organized or whatever and people would chalk that up to him being OCD. I completely forgot about the episode in question and the way they portrayed the intrusive thoughts and compulsions in it was really well done. Media likes to portray people with OCD as clean or organized and doesn't always touch on the intrusive thoughts that lead to the compulsions
I think another great episode with a serious topic is probably “The Donut of Shame” where Patrick deals with a panic attack because he feels guilty for “stealing SpongeBob’s donut”, and ends up overthinking the problem and starts to worry that SpongeBob would hate him for it.
Alright, I can relate to this too much (though maybe not exactly) There is this group I am in that is based around two TH-camrs. I was pretty active in there until about 9-11 months back, where I just disappeared without saying a word. (Mental health issues are to blame). For months and months, every time I even thought of their country, I would get overwhelmed with shame, guilt, and anxiety. About a 4 months ago, I was reunited with a small part of the group, but was nervous to go back fully. It wasn't until about 2 weeks ago that I finally built up the courage to go back, and not only did they welcome me back, they were completely understanding and no negative feelings were felt. Part of me feels dumb because of how much I worried over what was basically nothing, but the rest is just happy that I'm back with them. It's strange how my brain made a slight breeze into a massive hurricane. Morral of the story:(at least most) people are pretty understanding and forgiving, and that your brain can twist things way out of proportion
That's a good one :). I also liked that episode because in that one Patrick actually _cared_ that he might have wronged Spongebob in a way and does everything to his ability to rectify it. In bad _Spongebob_ episodes like "Yours, Mine and Mine" or "Smooth Jazz Of Bikini Bottom", Patrick was either a brainless, impulsive, unattached numbskull whose presence and contributions to the episode _only_ served to make matters _worse_ for the characters around him, or a selfish, possessive, entitled parasite who _couldn't care less_ about how his actions negatively affected others.
The part where Patrick is trying to hide the donut and he goes, 'I know. The attic!'...Then he stops and goes, 'Wait, I don't have an attic' always makes me laugh because he does it twice.
I remember watching the "Are you happy now?" Episode, the entire time I was expecting a joke. But even though there was none I kept watching because I wanted to see Squidward at least feel something. I watched this episode as a kid and cared for this episode a lot. Goes to show that kids aren't dumb and understand what's happening.
As someone with anxiety, Pickles hit me a little deep. No, I don't have severe anxiety to the point where I can't function but I relate to it so much. Spongebob having a meltdown reminds me of having an anxiety attack and even if its silly, I'm glad Spongebob was able to recover. It's surely not an easy thing to do that easily but as long as the person recovers in some way, it doesn't matter
Pickles is an episode that is relatable to a lot of people, even me. There are days when I can't even talk correctly. Spongebob's breakdown due to thinking he missed the pickles is very upsetting because it gets to the point where he has forgotten how to function correctly. His house is a mess, he can't sleep, if Mr. Krabbs hadn't showed up, Spongebob may have gotten even worse.
I don't know if I'd call it "dark"... I mean maybe it is in a way, but for a lot of people, that's just _life._ "Heavy" might be a word I'd rather use to describe the subject. But depression is something that really shouldn't be treated as taboo or too "dark" a subject for even a cartoon to explore... not that you were saying that, of course
Yeah, although I understand the company's statement on standards and practices, I'm not fond of the censorship of that episode along with SpongeBob In Randomland.
Patrick may have given bad advice in the suds but honestly, atleast he’s showing he really cares, he just doesn’t want spongebob to get scared/hurt, he wants him to be safe.
I hate to say it but that very well could be the intentions behind people that tell their kids to drink urine to get rid of a cold, or use black salve to get rid of tumors, wounds, or blemishes. They don’t want their loved ones to get hurt, and since they have a large distrust of medicine, they think that going to the doctor will hurt them.
“Squid’s Day Off” hits home real hard. I’m a hypochondriac and nobody ever tells you how utterly exhausting it is. I literally never feel safe, even if my fears are completely irrational (ie: “I have a stomach ache today so I must be dying of cancer”). The worst part is the ONE TIME my fears turn out to be (somewhat) justified, my brain uses it as ammunition against me for the rest of time. It’s so, soooo exhausting.
i relate to this so much 🥺 it’s hard to find any enjoyment in a day sometimes due to it because you’re constantly worrying about your health :c yet my mom and stepdad make fun of it when i find it very debilitating in my life.
I relate to this so much. I’m not a hypochondriac, but I do have contamination ocd so it affects me in a somewhat similar way. Like I’ll feel the need to rewash a pan before using it and every time I wipe a “clean” one off and see grease my ocd feels justified. Or when I check the locks every night before sleeping and that night it happens to be unlocked and my ocd once again feels justified. You’re not alone in these irrational fears that sometimes have justifications that make it worse.
I feel like Krabs has been flanderized in a way where if pickles was a modern spongebob episode he would force Spongebob to keep working and still have the audacity to blame him when the patties become *dolphin laugh.*
@@isomericgamer6644 ikr the real modern SB (S9-Now) is way better than 6-8 lol. But, I really feel like they still need to work more on unflanderizing the characters.
@@Litchy51 they're slowly getting there and I'm glad they are. Squidward actually cares about spongebob deep down again (pineapple rv) and sometimes has fun with him (mustard'o mine) Krabs apologized to spongebob when he yelled at him (Larry the floor manager) and they have their sweet moments that were sorely missing from seasons 6-8 (knock knock, who's there?)
@@isomericgamer6644 oh wow, that’s good! I don’t keep up with modern sb that often because I don’t watch tv that much and when I do it’s almost always seasons 6-8.
I really liked the episode SB-129 for its mention of being alone and how squidwards personality gradually changes throughout the episode. That should’ve been at least an honorable mention.
Honestly, The Nasty Patty talking about Murder, and as Someone whose uncle was Actually Murdered, I feel like the episode touched me in a way where no other episode did before, It was a acceptable way to focus on murder
11:37 I’ve been there too. The most unsettling part for me, (as was the case for Spongebob) is when you don’t know what you did wrong, and therefore don’t know what to fix! 😰 After seeing the effect on Spongebob, I especially hated the antagonist of this episode, and I would easily label his actions as cruelty! 🤬
25:12 I actually think those deleted scenes helped tell the audience that, yes, Squidward is feeling suicidal. However, Nickelodeon doesn't allow them to directly say it.
@@wastelandlegocheem Despite his iconic greed, the early krabs is actualy a realy good guy, he is a overall decent boss, does he love money? Yes. Does he abuse his employees and friends alike for it? No.
i always enjoy coming back to your channel. despite the “dark” topics, your demeanor is always chipper and comforting. glad you’re still making videos after all the years i’ve been subscribed.
This is why Spongebob is such a great show for any ages. It can teach you so many lessons that kids need to know. Especially considering I have anxiety and it really sucks. But I found a way to deal with it. Spongebob will always be my favorite “kids” show!
Ikr? Adults drove me crazy saying, "Spongebob rots your brain," despite not watching the show themselves. Most of the early seasons were smartly written, imo.
One that hit home for me was the entire, "what not to do at a stoplight?" I'm a huge procrastinator and I constantly have to keep forcing myself to do everything I can to work
I sympathize. I have really bad ADHD that was never diagnosed until adulthood and though I always got good grades, I was constantly in trouble for procrastinating or even forgot my homework completely.
As someone who is in a relationship with someone who has OCD and someone who has anxiety and depressed I relate to those episodes on a *very* deep level. -Lizzy
The Pickles episode was too relatable. I had a hard time speaking to my sister the other day over something because I was overworked on school. She had to get me to take a break because she’s worried for me bless her
Another thing "Squirrel Jokes" did well was showing how too often people look at racist/otherwise hurtful jokes as no big deal and view anyone offended by them as being overly sensitive. SpongeBob doesn't even get it at first (though thankfully he does learn his lesson).
The sequence clipped at 24:48 has some interesting animation, message aside. Usually they don’t acknowledge the fact that Squidward has 4 leg-arms, but seeing them separate out of their usual pairs is a cool twist.
I never realized Squidwards day off and pickles were so relatable to me. I feel so seen now. And Krabs' panic episode. And Are you happy now, The writers just really know their stuff.
@@jackieosborne4298 I’d say both I can really see the identity theft in that episode, but as someone who in the past few years has been trying to find out their gender I can really relate and see the identity crisis in the episode
@@Disbanded9998 I was born female and didn’t feel like one like liked being called a boy and having he/him used on me so I found my gender it’s not hard to understand
After watching this, my mom told me that her and my stepdad had a friend that was dealing with depression and it was weird because I remember meeting him when I was little and he look like a really happy guy, he had a daughter, and a wife. And last year he committed suicide which made me and mom really sad and it also made realize that suicide was real serious and will miss him.😞♥️
There’s another episode that talks about animal hoarding, where Spingebob takes in some stray snails and then everyone starts bringing him stray snails they find until he’s completely overrun with animals to care for. His house is a mess and he can’t leave the house, and Squidward’s allergies act up. In the end Spongebob winds up giving them to a shelter, where they will be better cared for, but the whole episode really shows how quickly animal hoarding can get out of hand and why although caring for pets is great and all, never take in more than you can care for so you and the animals will be happier and healthier.
Another episode similar to Just One Bite that works well as a metaphor for addiction would be The Hankering. In this episode, it’s revealed that Mr. Krabs got hooked on eating chum during his navy days and has Been eating it in secret ever since. After the truck that sells it shuts down, Spongbob tries to make Krabs some chum substitute to satisfy his cravings, but to no avail. Eventually, Krabs resorts to going to the Chum Bucket to get his fix. Plankton agrees to give Krabs some chum, but on the condition he gives him the Krabby Patty secret formula, which Krabs actually agrees. This was pretty uncomfortable to see since, to me at least, it parallels how in real life, people addicted to drugs might resort to drastic measures to satiate their addiction. Going so far as to sell off items that were precious to them, their homes, or in some cases even their own bodies just to get enough money to buy another fix. In this case, Krabs nearly gives away the secret formula, something that he would never do in a more sober state. Showing how his addiction has taken over his mind. The episode shows us how addiction and the dependency certain substances can create in people can warp their minds to the point where they lose sight of who they are and the important things in their lives.
From someone who is recently diagnosed with autism, thank you for addressing it and the anxiety people experience. I know for myself I can experience anxiety over things seen as "small" that can stop me functioning until I can calm down. It's cool to be able to look up to someone who I respect that shares struggles I have myself. Again, thank you from me :)
Sometimes people have disabilities, right next to me I understand that it’s normal to have a disability cuz you’ll remain to be a strong person depending on someone related who influences you.
imo the best part of squirrel jokes was how Spongebob went from dunking on Sandy to dunking on everybody including himself. Not singling anyone out, but making everyone the butt monkey
As someone who likes My Little Pony, I'd love for you to address the darkest episodes of it. There are surprisingly several entries that could qualify, but for me, I think the darkest one that nobody really talks about is called Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep. It's basically about self harming as punishment, and how it can harm those around you, not just yourself. I think it's handled really well, and is also enjoyable on it's own. It aired for the first time on my birthday, and I still remember it vividly. :03
I thought that the episode where spongebob starts working for the chum bucket was a good analogy for divorce. I can honestly relate to all of spongebob’s actions in the episode because my parents went through a divorce, and from spongebob’s rebel attitude, to the mother (plankton) trying to make the child (spongey) feel more at home with them was the most relatable part. Maybe it wasn’t intended to be that way but it was for me and a lot of other people, wish you would’ve talked about it at least a little but it’s okay!!!
The sentiment about Squidward feeling emotions again, even if it's anger, reminds me of the scene from "Bad Santa" where Willie notices the kid (Thurman) has a black eye and in the next scene Willie angerly beats up the bullies.
That episode was definitely more comedic than serious, I’d say. Unfortunately, it was recently taken off the air because of the panty raid scene towards the end.
As someone that has been having anxiety all my life pretty much, it’s been the worse during 2020 and 2021, I would have trouble sleeping, and sometimes I can’t even do things I enjoy because of the anxiety.. I’ve seen the Pickles episode before, but now that I see Spongebob from this perspective, I can heavily relate to him.
Seeing jem again makes me happy and was a real treat. I watched his videos all the time and not seeing any new videos from him for 3 years makes me really miss him and wish he'd make more appearances
People watching fungus among us in 2019: oh there's nothing out of the ordinary with this episode. People watching it in 2020 and 2021: this is uncomfortable.
My thoughts on Fungus Among Us before 2020: "I hate this episode." My thoughts on Fungus Among Us after the pandemic hits: "I still hate this episode."
The episode Pickles is very relatable, and I agree that they represent anxiety and how it can affect you and your life very well. As someone who’s also on the spectrum and suffers from severe anxiety this episode really stuck with me as a kid.
I really feel you Strider when you talk about making jokes at your own expense. I've always held that if you can't laugh at yourself then you shouldn't laugh at others. The episode with Stand up reminds me of when I was a kid, I overheard a racist joke and not knowing what it meant I told it to my dad. He went very quiet and explained the joke to me and I remember his words "Racists jokes are told to see if their are other racists in the audience." I think there is a solid difference between telling a joke to bring joy, and ones specifically meant to alienate and to harm. You gotta judge for yourself. Loving your videos as always. Keep shining you crazy diamond 💎
Isolating the problem is the first step. Now that you understand what is wrong with yourself, the next step is to participate in cognitive behavioural therapy specifically exposure and response prevention therapy so you can eliminate this irrational thinking. If not completely, you'll at least gain the skills necessary to minimize or ignore the most debilitating of the broken thoughts.
As someone who suffers from existential dread and depression spurts, I understand a lot of these things. Another topic discussed in many spongebob episodes is isolationism and being cut off from the world.
I'm legitimately surprised they managed to get away with what happens in nasty patty. mr. krabs and spongebob literally thought they killed a man... er, fish
This is fantastic; You should do more cartoons tackling real life subjects or make a list of the top 10 most diverse cartoons. I would totally watch that. 😄😊
As a person with panic attacks, let me tell you:IT IS AWFUL!People need to stop thinking having mental illnesses is "cool and quirky", because if they actually had mental illnesses, they would regret wishing that!I am so tired of thinking and feeling like I will die just because I feel my heart flutter or because I feel I can't breathe, and what's worse is that people treat you like a liar or a drama queen.I've had my fair share of"just stop having panic attacks","oh you're so dramatic" or "quit whining, you won't die!".
Be careful with the addictive medicine they can give you for it. I was 12 when I got put on them and I'm 28 now, and a lot of doctors don't know how to deal with them or the dependency that follows. I wish you luck with your attacks! Exposure therapy can work wonders!
@@northnorth7628 True, I took some medicine but then I quit it after 2 months because I felt that it didn't help me.After some years I went at a psychologist and he told me that I don't need medicine. The worst thing is that a lot of people criticized me for interupting the treatment, including my family. I feel bad for you, I think it is awful but I hope you got through it
Unfortunately if schools were to show kids the Suds episode, there'd be tons of antivaxx parents complaining about """"big pharma propaganda"""" and how it's oppressive to them or whatever ¬_¬
@@masterseal0418 i miss pieguyrulz and how he discussed the spongebob seasons but he seemed like he had a tough go of it a couple of years ago and is done with spongebob
I never noticed that Sandy was meant to be a metaphor for a minority, I thought it was meant to be, "Texan squirrel... F U N N Y". I've never seen it that way. Thanks Strider! 😄
Well it doesn't really work within the spongebob universe. Technically 75% of the cartoon cast are all "minorities". The only other sponges we ever see are his parents so by definition spongebob is a minority in Bikini Bottom. The same can be said of Patrick as no other starfish are ever introduced. Plankton is the same. All the characters besides the fish in the background are all minorities as little to no other examples exist on the show.
@@davidabest7195 I think they're just a minority in that specific city, and Sandy is like an actual minority in the whole sea. In some episodes you can see plankton's cousins/relatives, and there's a looot of them, same with Mr. Krabs in an episode where he goes to a crab convention or smth like that. I think the only other minority like Sandy is Pearl cuz there's no other whale characters in the show or mentions of one anywhere
@@DTheAustralian I think people find it bad because Krabs seems to enjoy seeing Plankton suicidal, Spongebob betrays Plankton to help Krabs, and it's overall a very cruel and disturbing episode. Just my two cents.
The episode with squidward having depression is extremely relatable. And I'm glad they didnt just portray him as being rlly sad. I personally have depression, and when I found out, it was through having what was basically a downhill, months long depressive episode, coupled with anxiety (which the two very commonly go hand in hand.) There was this constant fear, downright terror towards failure. Thinking I was never good enough bc of appearance or intelligence or performance, but the depression led me to think "well I'm going to fail anyways. So why even try?" and then I was eventually too exhausted to even try. I could hardly make myself get out of bed or clean my small dorm room, or bathe or even cook usually. Luckily I have never had suicidal thoughts, and I'm thankful for that. But I did have this sort of apathy towards my life, while my anxiety still made me fear what my failures could lead to. I was both scared of failure and screwing up my life, but also thinking that I didnt want to be here, while still not wanting to necessarily die. Depression is just so much more than being sad. And it can often be rooted in fear, fear of failure being a good example. It's also rooted in exhaustion. And being too damn tired to do the bare minimum for yourself.
Are you happy now is terrifying. I actually think it’s really good, but it definitely focuses on depression beyond any other cartoon episode I’ve seen.
I actually suffer from Asperger’s, OCD, and anxiety so looking at these episodes in this light really resonates with me. It’s good to know the various ways you can cope; for me it’s therapy, medication, exercise, anything that makes me laugh, and family and friends.
I've been studying psychology and Squid's day off is pretty accurate to what I've been learning about OCD. The overwhelming fear of something bad happening if you dont do something a specific way or time can be really terrifying for people with OCD
I totally understand with the episode pickles and I have mild autism and anxiety. School was hard when everything goes to fast but as times goes on it’s kinda got better. But I’m glad you talk about this and thanks, you are the best😉
I liked the treatment of the loss of a pet with Have You Seen This Snail. I still have a hard time believing the caring SpongeBob we see here is the same character in A Pal For Gary.
I really like how you explain OCD. It's like I KNOW by not following my ticks nothing will actually happen but I can't just ignore it. Trying to makes it worse and I begin to obsess over it... hence the word. That's why my biggest pet peeve is people saying "can you just not do that". Yes, yes I can. Thank you for pointing it out
Another big thing about squirrel jokes is the discussion of peer pressure. SpongeBob goes down a similar path to a bunch of edgy Internet guys nowadays, he was struggling to make the audience laugh, made a joke at the detriment of someone already somewhat outcast or seen as weird, got a good reaction from the crowd, and decided to push it further.
I'm actually surprised to see Krabs being wholesome and not that greedy on the pickles episode and Suds. He gave spongebob day offs when he stated he didn't know the meaning of it. Also he didn't went crazy cause Bubble bass owe him 4 dollars in total for the 2 burgers. Plus he could've sued him cause of the indirect damages he caused on his business.
Okay so I took a media ethics course in college and did a presentation on yellow journalism and actually used the krusty kronicle as an in media example of the cause and effects of yellow journalism. So I agree with you completely on that one.
Being someone with OCD, not only do I feel amazing to see someone whose content I LOVE also relating to the topic, but you are on the nail! OCD might make us look so crazy to worry or overthink and not trust us, but it is so much crazier than it seems sometimes
You made a great point on selling out. The study about older people having a better mindset with volunteer work is 100% true. I work at a theater and we have a lot of retired people who step in as volunteer ushers and are always happy to help out with our shows.
Squirrel Jokes, in my opinion, also does something interesting about racial humor: it's to leave no one off the table, and not make one group the joke in itself. SpongeBob does still tell jokes about squirrels, but they're interspersed with jokes about the other groups of Bikini Bottom; himself included. And everyone laughs at it because he's just poking fun and not hammering on something meant to hurt. It also helps that the citizens of Bikini Bottom actually know how to laugh at themselves as much as they do other people, so there's that.
Fun Fact: Tom Kenny was actually very sick while recording his lines for Suds.
That's genius for the episode, but I feel bad for him.
I guess that would make sense
Wow really
I wonder if anyone else got sick that day.
Yeah.
“Can you spare a dime” is probably one of the most relatable and definitely one of the more serious Spongebob episodes.

It's quite dark how they represented Squidward in a depressing state. I always thought he was just a grumpy guy.
He also kind of had a gambling addiction in Skill Crane.

Reminds me of how they call SpongeBob “Bobby Spongie” in the bootleg Farsi/Iranian dubs.
Yes, I love that too 💛
Patrick may have given bad advice in the suds but honestly, atleast he’s showing he really cares, he just doesn’t want spongebob to get scared/hurt, he wants him to be safe.
Reminds me of a quote.
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"
I hate to say it but that very well could be the intentions behind people that tell their kids to drink urine to get rid of a cold, or use black salve to get rid of tumors, wounds, or blemishes. They don’t want their loved ones to get hurt, and since they have a large distrust of medicine, they think that going to the doctor will hurt them.

“Squid’s Day Off” hits home real hard. I’m a hypochondriac and nobody ever tells you how utterly exhausting it is. I literally never feel safe, even if my fears are completely irrational (ie: “I have a stomach ache today so I must be dying of cancer”). The worst part is the ONE TIME my fears turn out to be (somewhat) justified, my brain uses it as ammunition against me for the rest of time. It’s so, soooo exhausting.
i relate to this so much 🥺 it’s hard to find any enjoyment in a day sometimes due to it because you’re constantly worrying about your health :c yet my mom and stepdad make fun of it when i find it very debilitating in my life.
You obviously understand the problem, the next step is cognitive behavioural therapy so you can change your broken thinking.
@@davidabest7195 you’re acting as if we have access to that lmao- try having parents that don’t believe in you
I'm sorry you constantly feel this way.
I relate to this so much. I’m not a hypochondriac, but I do have contamination ocd so it affects me in a somewhat similar way. Like I’ll feel the need to rewash a pan before using it and every time I wipe a “clean” one off and see grease my ocd feels justified. Or when I check the locks every night before sleeping and that night it happens to be unlocked and my ocd once again feels justified. You’re not alone in these irrational fears that sometimes have justifications that make it worse.

The "what not to do at a spotlight?" Is very relatible, anyone would feel the same if they had nothing on their mind and had to write a 800-Word Exam.

There’s another episode that talks about animal hoarding, where Spingebob takes in some stray snails and then everyone starts bringing him stray snails they find until he’s completely overrun with animals to care for. His house is a mess and he can’t leave the house, and Squidward’s allergies act up. In the end Spongebob winds up giving them to a shelter, where they will be better cared for, but the whole episode really shows how quickly animal hoarding can get out of hand and why although caring for pets is great and all, never take in more than you can care for so you and the animals will be happier and healthier.
It's called 'Sanctuary!', BTW
@@hinotoritheobliterator6556 Interesting fact: Bob Barnacle is voiced by animal rights activist and host of "The Price is Right" Bob Barker.
Another episode similar to Just One Bite that works well as a metaphor for addiction would be The Hankering.
In this episode, it’s revealed that Mr. Krabs got hooked on eating chum during his navy days and has Been eating it in secret ever since. After the truck that sells it shuts down, Spongbob tries to make Krabs some chum substitute to satisfy his cravings, but to no avail. Eventually, Krabs resorts to going to the Chum Bucket to get his fix. Plankton agrees to give Krabs some chum, but on the condition he gives him the Krabby Patty secret formula, which Krabs actually agrees.
This was pretty uncomfortable to see since, to me at least, it parallels how in real life, people addicted to drugs might resort to drastic measures to satiate their addiction. Going so far as to sell off items that were precious to them, their homes, or in some cases even their own bodies just to get enough money to buy another fix. In this case, Krabs nearly gives away the secret formula, something that he would never do in a more sober state. Showing how his addiction has taken over his mind. The episode shows us how addiction and the dependency certain substances can create in people can warp their minds to the point where they lose sight of who they are and the important things in their lives.

imo the best part of squirrel jokes was how Spongebob went from dunking on Sandy to dunking on everybody including himself. Not singling anyone out, but making everyone the butt monkey
As someone who likes My Little Pony, I'd love for you to address the darkest episodes of it. There are surprisingly several entries that could qualify, but for me, I think the darkest one that nobody really talks about is called Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep. It's basically about self harming as punishment, and how it can harm those around you, not just yourself. I think it's handled really well, and is also enjoyable on it's own. It aired for the first time on my birthday, and I still remember it vividly. :03
Though not dark more uncomfortable maybe, they talked about divorce in two episodes by my count
I don't watch it, but I heard an episode on brainwashing so that's another lol
Why are watching that smh
@@MrAjking808 Because I enjoy it.
I love that episode!
I thought that the episode where spongebob starts working for the chum bucket was a good analogy for divorce. I can honestly relate to all of spongebob’s actions in the episode because my parents went through a divorce, and from spongebob’s rebel attitude, to the mother (plankton) trying to make the child (spongey) feel more at home with them was the most relatable part. Maybe it wasn’t intended to be that way but it was for me and a lot of other people, wish you would’ve talked about it at least a little but it’s okay!!!
The sentiment about Squidward feeling emotions again, even if it's anger, reminds me of the scene from "Bad Santa" where Willie notices the kid (Thurman) has a black eye and in the next scene Willie angerly beats up the bullies.

Well Strider, there’s an episode I remember called Mid-Life Crustacean that tackles a serious issue of mid-life crisis.
That episode was definitely more comedic than serious, I’d say.
Unfortunately, it was recently taken off the air because of the panty raid scene towards the end.
Yea I'm surprised that the panty raid concept got into a kids show at all
As someone that has been having anxiety all my life pretty much, it’s been the worse during 2020 and 2021, I would have trouble sleeping, and sometimes I can’t even do things I enjoy because of the anxiety.. I’ve seen the Pickles episode before, but now that I see Spongebob from this perspective, I can heavily relate to him.
Seeing jem again makes me happy and was a real treat. I watched his videos all the time and not seeing any new videos from him for 3 years makes me really miss him and wish he'd make more appearances

The episode Pickles is very relatable, and I agree that they represent anxiety and how it can affect you and your life very well. As someone who’s also on the spectrum and suffers from severe anxiety this episode really stuck with me as a kid.
Me too. I recently got fired for this exact situation. It was heartbreaking.
Strider: "Does Squidward have a personal lustfulness for fried meat? I don't know..."
Well to answer your question 2:08
I really feel you Strider when you talk about making jokes at your own expense. I've always held that if you can't laugh at yourself then you shouldn't laugh at others. The episode with Stand up reminds me of when I was a kid, I overheard a racist joke and not knowing what it meant I told it to my dad. He went very quiet and explained the joke to me and I remember his words "Racists jokes are told to see if their are other racists in the audience." I think there is a solid difference between telling a joke to bring joy, and ones specifically meant to alienate and to harm. You gotta judge for yourself.
Loving your videos as always. Keep shining you crazy diamond 💎
9:50 as someone who’s diagnosed with OCD “what if panic” is my biggest problem, god it hate it so much.

Isolating the problem is the first step. Now that you understand what is wrong with yourself, the next step is to participate in cognitive behavioural therapy specifically exposure and response prevention therapy so you can eliminate this irrational thinking. If not completely, you'll at least gain the skills necessary to minimize or ignore the most debilitating of the broken thoughts.

I love the way you contribute and collaborate with other creators. Your videos give me a warm and welcoming feeling Strider.
It's quite a surprise on how a kids show like SpongeBob could talk about such serious subjects like that, and with such respect to said topic!
I'm legitimately surprised they managed to get away with what happens in nasty patty. mr. krabs and spongebob literally thought they killed a man... er, fish
This is fantastic; You should do more cartoons tackling real life subjects or make a list of the top 10 most diverse cartoons. I would totally watch that. 😄😊
Agreed!
Yeah, being on the spectrum myself and having high anxiety to the point where I’ve blacked out from it, pickles definitely speaks to me.
As a person with panic attacks, let me tell you:IT IS AWFUL!People need to stop thinking having mental illnesses is "cool and quirky", because if they actually had mental illnesses, they would regret wishing that!I am so tired of thinking and feeling like I will die just because I feel my heart flutter or because I feel I can't breathe, and what's worse is that people treat you like a liar or a drama queen.I've had my fair share of"just stop having panic attacks","oh you're so dramatic" or "quit whining, you won't die!".
Be careful with the addictive medicine they can give you for it. I was 12 when I got put on them and I'm 28 now, and a lot of doctors don't know how to deal with them or the dependency that follows. I wish you luck with your attacks! Exposure therapy can work wonders!
@@northnorth7628 True, I took some medicine but then I quit it after 2 months because I felt that it didn't help me.After some years I went at a psychologist and he told me that I don't need medicine.

Well it doesn't really work within the spongebob universe. Technically 75% of the cartoon cast are all "minorities". The only other sponges we ever see are his parents so by definition spongebob is a minority in Bikini Bottom. The same can be said of Patrick as no other starfish are ever introduced. Plankton is the same. All the characters besides the fish in the background are all minorities as little to no other examples exist on the show.
@@davidabest7195 i think what they're saying is Sandy is represented as a minority because she belongs in land if you get what i mean

The episode with squidward having depression is extremely relatable. And I'm glad they didnt just portray him as being rlly sad.
I personally have depression, and when I found out, it was through having what was basically a downhill, months long depressive episode, coupled with anxiety (which the two very commonly go hand in hand.)
There was this constant fear, downright terror towards failure. Thinking I was never good enough bc of appearance or intelligence or performance, but the depression led me to think "well I'm going to fail anyways. So why even try?" and then I was eventually too exhausted to even try. I could hardly make myself get out of bed or clean my small dorm room, or bathe or even cook usually.
Luckily I have never had suicidal thoughts, and I'm thankful for that. But I did have this sort of apathy towards my life, while my anxiety still made me fear what my failures could lead to. I was both scared of failure and screwing up my life, but also thinking that I didnt want to be here, while still not wanting to necessarily die.
Depression is just so much more than being sad. And it can often be rooted in fear, fear of failure being a good example. It's also rooted in exhaustion. And being too damn tired to do the bare minimum for yourself.
I have autism and i get anxious a lot. The early seasons of spongebob are golden

Are you happy now is terrifying. I actually think it’s really good, but it definitely focuses on depression beyond any other cartoon episode I’ve seen.
Despite the poorly implemented dark comedy, it has a slight bit of relatability tho.
I actually suffer from Asperger’s, OCD, and anxiety so looking at these episodes in this light really resonates with me. It’s good to know the various ways you can cope; for me it’s therapy, medication, exercise, anything that makes me laugh, and family and friends.
I've been studying psychology and Squid's day off is pretty accurate to what I've been learning about OCD. The overwhelming fear of something bad happening if you dont do something a specific way or time can be really terrifying for people with OCD
I totally understand with the episode pickles and I have mild autism and anxiety. School was hard when everything goes to fast but as times goes on it’s kinda got better. But I’m glad you talk about this and thanks, you are the best😉

I think that another reason why that scene got deleted was so that kids wouldn't play with fire but the first reason still makes sense
@@renamon5658 Yep, that's the one.
Another big thing about squirrel jokes is the discussion of peer pressure. SpongeBob goes down a similar path to a bunch of edgy Internet guys nowadays, he was struggling to make the audience laugh, made a joke at the detriment of someone already somewhat outcast or seen as weird, got a good reaction from the crowd, and decided to push it further.
I'm actually surprised to see Krabs being wholesome and not that greedy on the pickles episode and Suds.
He gave spongebob day offs when he stated he didn't know the meaning of it.
Also he didn't went crazy cause Bubble bass owe him 4 dollars in total for the 2 burgers. Plus he could've sued him cause of the indirect damages he caused on his business.
I saw Suds as a little kid as well, and the fact that SpongeBob can tackle the subject of self-medicating very well still blows my mind to this day.

Okay so I took a media ethics course in college and did a presentation on yellow journalism and actually used the krusty kronicle as an in media example of the cause and effects of yellow journalism. So I agree with you completely on that one.
Being someone with OCD, not only do I feel amazing to see someone whose content I LOVE also relating to the topic, but you are on the nail! OCD might make us look so crazy to worry or overthink and not trust us, but it is so much crazier than it seems sometimes

Squidwards dayoff-IMO squidward's anxiety was guilt induced
imo i think it represents ocd due to the constant intrusive thoughts which were debilitating to him
honestly, the emotion of "agony" is beleived to be more powerful than terror, becuase it can be both a physical thing, as well as a phycological one.
You made a great point on selling out. The study about older people having a better mindset with volunteer work is 100% true. I work at a theater and we have a lot of retired people who step in as volunteer ushers and are always happy to help out with our shows.
Squirrel Jokes, in my opinion, also does something interesting about racial humor: it's to leave no one off the table, and not make one group the joke in itself. SpongeBob does still tell jokes about squirrels, but they're interspersed with jokes about the other groups of Bikini Bottom; himself included. And everyone laughs at it because he's just poking fun and not hammering on something meant to hurt. It also helps that the citizens of Bikini Bottom actually know how to laugh at themselves as much as they do other people, so there's that.
Unfortunately, from my experience, many SJ activists fail to comprehend this. They want minorities completely off the table.
