That moment when Squidward realizes on his own that he seriously hurt Spongebob and became ashamed of what he did is one of the most powerful moments for me. Not only does it show incredibly well-executed character development for one of the least likable characters; it's also incredibly touching because it finally shows that despite how annoying he is, Squidward respects Spongebob enough to return and offer a proper apology!
That was back when making Spongebob cry really meant you fucked up. It always felt like you literally bullied a well-intentioned child, as Squidward was noticeably more mature than he was. Even in the Christmas episode Squidward realizes when he goes too far. Though now SB just gets on my nerves with how narcissistic he's become and the way he shouts when he cries and whines just makes him grating to listen too compared to the April Fools scene.
@Lloyd. Yah SB whine way too much in the later seasons epically in squids visit BUT in fools in April, his laugh does bother me a bit. But overall the earlier srasons don't have episodes like "squids visit" or "funny pants".

Back in those episodes you could clearly tell Squidward actually liked Spongebob. This can be seen in episodes like this; when they think an assassin's going for them; how he went to his party (he could have easily read or play the clarinet but he decided to visit Spongebob), when he travels to the future and then to the past and then to nowhere... of course, sometimes he really wanted to stay away from him (like in the opposite day and when Spongebob loses his house), but again, when he goes living with other squids he realizes he likes Spongebob as a neighbour, and in other episodes like when he thinks Mr. Krabs is a robot or in Band Geek, they have a really good relationship. Overall, Squidward really doesn't hate Spongebob. They could be _kinda_ friends, but Spongebob is really childish and Patrick pushes him to the limits. But in recent seasons, they bash the characters to the point where Mrs. Puff wants to literally murder Spongebob.
Back then, if Spongebob cried, then you messed up bad. Squidward probably felt like he just bullied a 4 year old just for having fun, cuz that's all Spongebob was really doing. But that's one of the MANY reasons why Fools in April is better than Little Yellow Book
Fools in April was my fun filled, carefree childhood Little Yellow Book is my fun filled, carefree childhood being ripped from my hands and replaced with the realization of adulthood, how cruel the world is, etc
Bikini Bottom is basically a town that is bi polar in regards to the town enemy of the week. The literal moment they have the smallest reason to witch hunt a different person, they jump on it. At least, in modern episodes.
Coby Dupre I agree. Like the episode where he could fly, or maybe the episode where the violently assaulted Sandy and called her a “freak.” And up to the point where the cops arrest her for public nudity.
2:27 Moments like that I miss in Spongebob the most, it's something that rarely happens in Modern. I honestly miss Classic Mr. Krabs, he was more of a laid back boss, willing to join in on Spongebob's fun, isn't 100% obsessed with money, and actually treated Spongebob like a son he never had
Fools in April wins by a long shot. Sure, Spongebob laughs a lot in that episode, but he's more tolerable than the current Spongebob who laughs and cries unbearably all the time. I actually find Spongebob pretty adorable in Fools in April. It's great to see how much fun he's having and pranking the other costumers in a friendly way. Squidward is also so much better in Fools in April also. He wasn't being a jerk to Spongebob and realized what he did was wrong. Unlike in Little Yellow Book.
Agree! Even in little yellow book he's SUCH a crybaby. Like yah Squidward was mean but I miss when SB used to get upset and angry! Like in "Can you spare a dime?"
@@flowerbunny91 "Can You Spare a Dime?" Is where I really enjoyed SpongeBob just blowing up at people. I will always laugh myself silly at the epic blow-up SpongeBob has when he furiously shouts at Squidward to get a job and at the moment where SpongeBob strangled and violently shook Mr. Krabs.

I had never thought of it, but both Squidward and the Bikini Bottom got worse. Squidward became a more harsh character but got treated harsh considering the bikini bottom people joined him in the bullying of Sponge Bob.
i have a question in the crappier later seasons is their any episode the one don't ruin the charters and two don't rehash or ruin important continuity in the sense that it was always a part of the show and finally still feels like spongebob not exaggerated versions of the characters and show.
Not Your Average Pyro what's worse about the Fifi thing is that "Spat" (the name) was introduced in the worse seasons (4 and later) if I'm wrong, please correct me
Ryan036 worse seasons wrong season 4 was good season 5-6 was okay season 7 had a few great episodes season 8+ watchable usually. plus season 1-3 had it's fair share of bad episodes
I think the worst part of "Little Yellow Book" is how Squidward never felt remorse or learned anything. Everything leading up to the ending was bad enough, they could've at least had him learn a lesson after all that, but instead they literally closed it with him repeating the same mistake that he's currently getting bashed for. I mean, redeeming Squidward wouldn't have redeemed the episode by a long-shot, but at least it would've made it *slightly* less unpleasant. "Fools in April" actually built character and provided a moral to the story, "Little Yellow Book" was just needlessly meanspirited and its mere existence is unnecessary.
Here are six issues that I have with Little Yellow Book: 1. One joke that I'm not even going to mention. Who the fuck thought that it was appropriate for children, or that it was even funny and not disgusting? '2. I didn't detest SpongeBob's character in this episode, but the writers were literally trying to force him to seem blind/deaf to reality in this episode (even more so than in the Squidward torture porn episodes). 3. The diary WAS LITERALLY not funny at all, with everything being forced attempts to make SpongeBob's character seem very humiliating. It seemed as if a person with an IQ below 50 wrote the first part of it. 4. Squidward's character in this episode. Why does he even care about SpongeBob's diary if he has an aversion for him? If this took place on the day after Good Neighbors or Cephalopod Lodge, with Squidward wanting revenge, then I'd kind of understand this. But that was never explained or implied anywhere in the episode. He also was an asshole who didn't learn anything from what he did, with his apology literally being forced. 5. Too many plotholes. 6. The fact that even the town's people were unlikable hypocrites for no reason. They clearly knew that it was SpongeBob's diary.
You're welcome. I'm personally not a fan of Squidward in the newer seasons, and personally still see him as an asshole whenever he gets the chance to be one. He still does something awful in half of the episodes that people commonly regard as 'Squidward torture porns', yet people seem to look the other way when that occurs.
Damien Jackson How come no one brings up that Spongebob specifically said "SQUIDWARD, HOW COULD YOU?!", implying that he was upset at Squidward, and not the townspeople?
I don't get it. Everybody else besides Squidward red Spongebob's diary and now they calling Squidward an diary reader. Well it is Squidward's fault everybody found out about his diary
I love how he says Mr. Krabs "teleports" when he was within range of walking towards Spongebob in the few seconds Squidward goes nuts even if we don't see it but it wouldn't hurt if we did
This is indeed a re-upload. I am trying to push out all of these videos over the weekend and boom, Viacom (under a completely different name) blocks it in every country except Canada. #MakeViacomCanadaAgain
Fool's in April worked because Squidward apologized out of the result of his own guilt not being told off by Hippocrates, the people who mad little yellow book wanted to show that Squidward was in the wrong, but they cannot do that by being told off by people who did the exact same fucking thing no one likes a Hippocrate, and when Mr Krabs said that low even for you I'm all like what do you mean even for you? hey, all I'm saying is I don't see Squidward holding people hostage or driving Plankton to suicide you fat bastard fuck Mr Krabs to hell
Yo, my man, Spongebob can't see through the windows/doors until he gets closer, remember how we were never able to unless the plot demanded it or we were really close to the doors, even the dude who said spongebob was back was a unrealistically close, so it's possible for him to see inside. Plus, spongebob has glasses sometimes so I assume it means he doesn't quite have 20/20 vision.
I remember as a kid loving April fools it was one of my personal favourites and to be honest little yellow book is myleast favourite episode of spongebob sqwidward is such an asshole in the episode and the ending really ticks me off all besides great review man keep it up
We should put modern patrick and modern squidward in a room together and see which one lives. For science. And also because one way or another we'll be rid of at least one of them.
The difference between Stephen Hillenburg being more involved in an pre-movie episode and less so in a post-movie episode are night & day. Rest in peace, Stephen Hillenburg.
Honestly, when you have SpongeBob episodes like Gone, Little Yellow Book, Sportz?, Grandma's Kisses, Chatterbox Gary, Chum Fricassee, Naughty Nautical Neighbors, Culture Shock, Artist Unknown, Home Sweet Pineapple, I ❤️ Dancing, Don't Look Now, Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost, Scaredy Pants, The Lost Mattress, What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?, and Patty Hype, you start to realize that SpongeBob and Squidward's friendship is NOTHING but a joke.
The face that tongue makes when spongebob hugs is one of my most memorable faces. It's so derpy (plus the attention to detail not to add the tongue to spongebob while hes laughing is nice to see)
Here’s how my version of the conflict for Little Yellow Book would go: The towns people would still be laughing with Squidward over Spongebob’s secrets from his Diary, more depressed than he’s ever been, Spongebob decides to lock himself in his house for the rest of his life, while still sobbing because of what he’s losing in the process. 4 Weeks pass and Mr Krabs finally realizes what happened, and Yells at Squidward for what he’s done and how he should have minded his own business, and Krabs gives Squidward 3 days to apologize to Spongebob, and if he doesn’t succeed, not only will he be fired, but he’ll also be sent to Privacy invasion prison for the rest of his life. Squidward, both in fear and begrudgingly tries to apologize to Spongebob, but it doesn’t work, thus by the end of the third day, Squidward is not only fired for real this time, but is also spending his time in Privacy Invasion prison for the rest of his life.
It does seem un-accurate tho since the show ends up showing people going into jail for the most stupid reasons and for things that werent there fault or for reasonable reasons. Not to mention Spongebob has locked himself in his house before out of pure fear in the episode with the gorilla underwater.
Ah yes. I remember that line. She said, "I had a diary once. My brother read it! I had a brother once." And now I can't stop thinking about how dark that joke really is......
Spongebob was kind of annoying in Fools in April and Squidward just wanted to get him back, Afterwards, Squidward felt SUPER guilty and tried to apologize In Little Yellow Book, Squidward read Spongebob's diary (with everyone else) and the town hates him and he doesn't care afterwards and reads Spongebob's other diary
Alpha Jay, your great and I kinda think maybe you could have a crossover with another person. I like how you compare things within a series or between shows...Just Keep being amazing!
+Ames Star-Diamond As far as collabs, I want to find a decent commentator, around my size that doesn't have an irrational mindset. However, my backlogs are piling up so that might not be the best idea, animation videos-wise.
This backs up my theory. Every episode is considered an AU. I call it the Higurashi Effect. That is why there is so many flaws and connections. It starts from the aftermath of the 2005 movie. That movie was supposed to end the series. All of the cast never aged. They are all basically Timelords basically rebooting tragedy after tragedy. And the floating heads in Squidward's denial are a reference to the Peter Davison's regeneration to Colin Baker but they didn't do it in the right order or sequence or BBC might sue somebody at the time. One big supporting factor is Mrs. Puff's clean slate. How come they never mention her records? Spongebob must've been a minor that's why he got away with it all the time. Destiny Trap is all over that is why you see mostly cracks in the background of every scene. Time and Space leaking information all at once. It all started as a fairytale we end up as one after our time.
2:05 I would like to point out that yelling on the wide end of the cone would actually diminish sound. That’s why megaphones get wider the further away it is from the mouthpiece. The wider outside echoes the sound waves so it can put out a loud echoed sound waves. I know it was put directly in Spongebob’s ear(?) (which in itself is ridiculous) but it would be unable to echo throughout the barrel as it was being projected through the wider end of the cone. That and it being only put in Spongebob’s ear(?) and not in the inside of the barrel in general.
15:40 techincally patrick didnt read spongebob's diary he just heard his secrets. so if a person was walking past them and happen to hear the secret would that count as reading their diary. then again modern patrick probably read his diary way before this event.
One of the great things about Fools in April is that none of Spongebob's pranks are really that mean and none are hurtful. He also quickly reveals them so the person doesn't suffer too much and the prankee can laugh along too. It's how pranks should be.
Yeah, I have no idea what the bubble blowing joke is supposed to be... and I wouldn't've even thought about it until he brought it up. Is it supposed to represent Smoking?
Even though Squidward was jerky for reading Spongebob's personal diary at the end, I personally think the Bikini Bottomites are more insufferable and unlikeable by the fact they're hypocritical.
i agree this eipose little yellow book made squidward look like a jack ass atleast in fools in april he learned his lesson and he was somewhat justified in pranking back spongebob after spongebob broke his promise not to prank anymore and was getting on his nerves did squidward take his prank to far yes (dat thicc booty though) but he learned from it when he came to the conclusion that he did something wrong in little yellow book does he learn his lesson no as he jsut goes and reads spongebob personal dairy and even while hes getting pelted with tomatos he gives no fucks but i do agree with squidward the town fish all should have been in the stocks since they all knew it was his dairy but until spongebob found out they all turned on him they where all at fault its like the writers look at fools in april and was like how can we take a good episode and fuck it up to high hell
np i jsut really hate the towns people expect for fred cause hes always hurting his leg and at-least in the early seasons the townfolk wernt hypocritical and when someone needed help they helped like they beat up an old man when they thought he was bulling spongebob
Spongebob absolutely losing his shit over his couple of ice cubes joke, coupled with the fish's absolute terror/rage over what Spongebob could have done to his drink, is probably the absolutely best moment in Spongebob.
Anyone else kinda want an episode explaining the story behind all of Spongebobd psychological ticks from his diary? Like whats the story between plaid and chickens?
11:40 the window is empty and is still in view while this is going on, but as soon as the laughing starts and it cuts back, suddenly squidward is leaning through it
little yellow book is the most fair sponge bob episode ever spongebob has been disrespecting squidwards privacy for years so it’s only fair that squidward disrespects spongebobs privacy
I just found it weird how Patrick didn't even really react over hearing that Squid's joke made Spongebob cry. "Damn dude, it was that bad huh? He cried." I figured he would have confronted Squidward.
I feel like one of the biggest examples of flanderism is when Miss Puff tried to get SpongeBob killed.😂 All those years of a character crashing their boat does that to you I guess. Seriously though, she got annoyed with the sponge in earlier episodes, but she would of never tried to kill Sponge Bob. Do you agree Alpha Jay?
Honestly, a plot around this Diary concept could work out. Maybe Squidward thinks Spongebob wrote down something embarrassing about him in the diary and he does a bunch of stuff to get it? Maybe Spongebob and Patrick both read it together and their reactions to certain entries get him curious enough to take it for himself? After all, he has been shown to have a curious side, even in the earlier seasons, and that his curiosity and thoughts will drive him crazy unless he figures out what's going on or what secret is being kept. There could have been waaaaay less meanspirited plotlines based around that Diary that would also keep Squidward's character in tact for once
Uh, I would like that internet cookie. So I would like to explain. People when they are working a stressful job or a job in general when it’s your break you take a smoke, or cigarette for common folk. Yea where is my internet cookie.
Squidward was only capable to apologize because the entire town made his life hell and pressured him. They didn't even guilt trip him, he was just punished and apologized only to see if it would stop. He passes by a crying Spongebob, he laughs at the mention of what happened and, when given the chance, he does it again! Which proves Squidward's assholery goes beyond his sense of self-preservation. At least in the other episode the town and Patrick only served as a mean for Squidward to think about what he just did, and even without tnem, Squidward's concience would have made him apologize anyway because he's still a good person deep down.
The Demon Hellraiser BROTHERS AND SISTERS GRAB YOUR ARMS! IT IS TIME FOR US TO MARCH AGAINST OUR CURSED ENEMY, VIACOM. WE SHALL FIGHT AND CLAIM OUR FREEDOM! ARE YOU WITH ME?
The one thing I don't care for in the video, from a 'logical' point of view is the ripping on the jump cuts. Lots of cartoons do this, and while it could cause some tension to animate or foley a character walking to another character who is obviously doing something they aren't supposed to, I don't necessarily think it's needed. You've talked before about animation being able to do things that live action can't, it's perfectly reasonable to believe all of these jump cuts could actually happen in a made up world. It's not like they go from Squidward being in the boat in one frame to being on the moon on the next. He's preoccupied for a good couple of frames, making it possible for the audience to believe that the line filled up while he was settling in. You seem to pick at these kind of things in a lot of your videos, some of which I agree with, but in this case it really feels like something that was harped on just for posterity's sake. That being said I agree with most of the rest of your point's in this video, and the editing is on point as always, please keep it up!
Well to be fair or octopi can shift through any small space and get through it so it's not unheard of that he could have moved his tentacled farther out
Hey Alpha Jay, I have an idea for a "How I'd Write" episode, The Big Fairy Share Scare. There is a catch to this, and that is that you have to use Chloe, you CAN'T use Remmy, Chester, or anyone else as the other God kid, it has to be Chloe.
1:25 That actualy happens. 07:23 there's no line, everyone has food, and I can go back to get more coffee cups. 07:24 Holy crap why is there a half-mile line?
It’d be great if Patrick actually knew about SpongeBob’s secrets, and accidentally keeps telling them, but in the end he would fix it and everything yknow

As someone who works in retail, I can confirm that it basically goes from dead to packed in 0.5 femtoseconds.
Yocto! Is the smallest measurement
I’ll argue with you for one thing and the smoke break joke was decent. Only redeeming quality of the episode
April fools JERK! Awesome line. Seriously that episode can be used as a metaphor for how today’s pranks gone to far.
Yup
I remember as a kid loving April fools it was one of my personal favourites and to be honest little yellow book is myleast favourite episode of spongebob sqwidward is such an asshole in the episode and the ending really ticks me off all besides great review man keep it up
+Swanky Ork Thanks! I appreciate it. Fools In April is a fantastic episode.
We should put modern patrick and modern squidward in a room together and see which one lives. For science.
And also because one way or another we'll be rid of at least one of them.
Demented, but...
GREAT IDEA!?!?!!!!!!???
But, there both starfishes, and they cant die
@MIA VINSON oh sorry I read modern patrick!
I feel bad for Squidward since he'll definitely be humiliated by modern Patrick
Pretty sure thats the actual plot of an episode.
4:42 I like puns but even that was bad
+ciberkid22 They're working on it. lol.
At least it wasn't a cat pun though... those ones are the worst.
+ciberkid22 you mean... the furst?
yeah, that was bad even by my standards.
Jesse McClure Don't worry, I've seen worse *stares down at bubsy*
That's part of Squidward's character. He makes bad jokes and laughs at his own joke. It's a subtle character quirk.
The difference between Stephen Hillenburg being more involved in an pre-movie episode and less so in a post-movie episode are night & day. Rest in peace, Stephen Hillenburg.
Honestly, when you have SpongeBob episodes like Gone, Little Yellow Book, Sportz?, Grandma's Kisses, Chatterbox Gary, Chum Fricassee, Naughty Nautical Neighbors, Culture Shock, Artist Unknown, Home Sweet Pineapple, I ❤️ Dancing, Don't Look Now, Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost, Scaredy Pants, The Lost Mattress, What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?, and Patty Hype, you start to realize that SpongeBob and Squidward's friendship is NOTHING but a joke.
The face that tongue makes when spongebob hugs is one of my most memorable faces. It's so derpy (plus the attention to detail not to add the tongue to spongebob while hes laughing is nice to see)
Here’s how my version of the conflict for Little Yellow Book would go:
The towns people would still be laughing with Squidward over Spongebob’s secrets from his Diary, more depressed than he’s ever been, Spongebob decides to lock himself in his house for the rest of his life, while still sobbing because of what he’s losing in the process. 4 Weeks pass and Mr Krabs finally realizes what happened, and Yells at Squidward for what he’s done and how he should have minded his own business, and Krabs gives Squidward 3 days to apologize to Spongebob, and if he doesn’t succeed, not only will he be fired, but he’ll also be sent to Privacy invasion prison for the rest of his life. Squidward, both in fear and begrudgingly tries to apologize to Spongebob, but it doesn’t work, thus by the end of the third day, Squidward is not only fired for real this time, but is also spending his time in Privacy Invasion prison for the rest of his life.
I know this comment is two years old, but it's a kids show...
@@amaze_z1953 yea I didn’t like this version he made
@@amaze_z1953 remember avatar?
It does seem un-accurate tho since the show ends up showing people going into jail for the most stupid reasons and for things that werent there fault or for reasonable reasons. Not to mention Spongebob has locked himself in his house before out of pure fear in the episode with the gorilla underwater.
Calamari is squid. Squidward weirdly is officially an octopus
Did no one realize the reference when the cop said, "I had a diary once." It was when she said, "I had a brother once" or something like that
Ah yes. I remember that line. She said, "I had a diary once. My brother read it! I had a brother once." And now I can't stop thinking about how dark that joke really is......
Little yellow book is a mix of "fools in april" and "secret box".
flowerbunny91 except it's bad
Done in the worst way possible.
Spongebob was kind of annoying in Fools in April and Squidward just wanted to get him back, Afterwards, Squidward felt SUPER guilty and tried to apologize
In Little Yellow Book, Squidward read Spongebob's diary (with everyone else) and the town hates him and he doesn't care afterwards and reads Spongebob's other diary
He seems MORE HUMAN in Fools in April
Ryan036 agreed
this was a very well structured and thought out review and I'm subscribing to to your channel niw
+Jack Atlas Thank you so much
Ok the teleporting and bad connection jokes helped me get out of a bad mood, well done Alpha!
"April Fools, Jerk" that one fish
Alpha Jay, your great and I kinda think maybe you could have a crossover with another person. I like how you compare things within a series or between shows...Just Keep being amazing!
+Ames Star-Diamond As far as collabs, I want to find a decent commentator, around my size that doesn't have an irrational mindset.
However, my backlogs are piling up so that might not be the best idea, animation videos-wise.
you said irrational mindset...could TheMysteriousMr.Enter be included in this?
After seeing this, I fed one of my Miis in Tomodachi Life some calamari
+EpicMovieAddict Excellent. 😈
Yes. Very.
EpicMovieAddict PERFECT
Did they like it?
You seriously need more views/subs. I love your reviews, your humor, and I really love your episode Re-writes.
Thewifeswapped same
Yo, you need more views. You're stuff is really well made, and you've definitely got a fan.
(that's me)
+TheGuyYouWantToBe Welcome to the community. It's pretty open and accepting. (so far)
You make me want to make my own TH-cam channel!
This backs up my theory. Every episode is considered an AU. I call it the Higurashi Effect. That is why there is so many flaws and connections. It starts from the aftermath of the 2005 movie. That movie was supposed to end the series. All of the cast never aged. They are all basically Timelords basically rebooting tragedy after tragedy. And the floating heads in Squidward's denial are a reference to the Peter Davison's regeneration to Colin Baker but they didn't do it in the right order or sequence or BBC might sue somebody at the time. One big supporting factor is Mrs. Puff's clean slate. How come they never mention her records? Spongebob must've been a minor that's why he got away with it all the time. Destiny Trap is all over that is why you see mostly cracks in the background of every scene. Time and Space leaking information all at once. It all started as a fairytale we end up as one after our time.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When They Cry) was one of the best Animes i ever have seen.
I actually think that the whole show has the Higurashi effect.
TheSgedioxide X3.
The Higurashi Effect could also be applied to the new FOP and how they're low key trying to make Cloe the Main Character instead of Timmy. :-/.
2004*
2:05 I would like to point out that yelling on the wide end of the cone would actually diminish sound. That’s why megaphones get wider the further away it is from the mouthpiece. The wider outside echoes the sound waves so it can put out a loud echoed sound waves. I know it was put directly in Spongebob’s ear(?) (which in itself is ridiculous) but it would be unable to echo throughout the barrel as it was being projected through the wider end of the cone. That and it being only put in Spongebob’s ear(?) and not in the inside of the barrel in general.
15:40 techincally patrick didnt read spongebob's diary he just heard his secrets. so if a person was walking past them and happen to hear the secret would that count as reading their diary. then again modern patrick probably read his diary way before this event.
One of the great things about Fools in April is that none of Spongebob's pranks are really that mean and none are hurtful. He also quickly reveals them so the person doesn't suffer too much and the prankee can laugh along too. It's how pranks should be.
Yeah, I have no idea what the bubble blowing joke is supposed to be... and I wouldn't've even thought about it until he brought it up.
Is it supposed to represent Smoking?
Da Nintendude thats what I think to.
Yes. You are very smart.
@Da Nintendude I'd say it's more like non-specific Vaping
Wow, back when Alpha Jay responded to every comment
Dude, how does your icon look so damn good?
+Chillzone9 I could say the same to you.
Oh gee *looks away and blushes* I only used Photoshop with Piskel.
+Chillzone9 Looks great.
I Used PixelLab!
Your Icon is pretty cool.
4:23
N-no Spongebob, We do not consent--
Spongebob considers Mr. Krabs his second best friend? Shouldn't that be Sandy or maybe even Squidward on a good day?
i miss the old spongebob music and humor they dropped the ball big time with the new ones.
Watching this video really shows how much you improved in the last 2 years.
Even though Squidward was jerky for reading Spongebob's personal diary at the end, I personally think the Bikini Bottomites are more insufferable and unlikeable by the fact they're hypocritical.
*Most* of them are hypocritical. Not all of them were laughing at SpongeBob, but it still doesn't make sense
This channel changed a lot over the last couple years
What i just realised is some fish have pants on some dont, then some have shirts on some dont, then theres some entirely naked
And to think Sandy got atrested for public nudity.
i agree this eipose little yellow book made squidward look like a jack ass atleast in fools in april he learned his lesson and he was somewhat justified in pranking back spongebob after spongebob broke his promise not to prank anymore and was getting on his nerves did squidward take his prank to far yes (dat thicc booty though) but he learned from it when he came to the conclusion that he did something wrong
in little yellow book does he learn his lesson no as he jsut goes and reads spongebob personal dairy and even while hes getting pelted with tomatos he gives no fucks but i do agree with squidward the town fish all should have been in the stocks since they all knew it was his dairy but until spongebob found out they all turned on him they where all at fault
its like the writers look at fools in april and was like how can we take a good episode and fuck it up to high hell
+coolchrisable Great input. Yeah, I dislike the townspeople.
np i jsut really hate the towns people expect for fred cause hes always hurting his leg and at-least in the early seasons the townfolk wernt hypocritical and when someone needed help they helped like they beat up an old man when they thought he was bulling spongebob
Spongebob absolutely losing his shit over his couple of ice cubes joke, coupled with the fish's absolute terror/rage over what Spongebob could have done to his drink, is probably the absolutely best moment in Spongebob.
I miss when Squidward only don't sympathize with Spongebob instead of him wanted to see Spongebob suffering for fun
I Subscribed after the "Worst Nick Show Airing* episode. :) Great channel. :)
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it :D
Alpha Jay Show Your very welcome. I love review channels like yours, Mr. Enter, and Avis Reviews. :)
bro 7 years ago!!!! im getting too old man :(
Squidward can be more evil than Plankton sometimes...
14:44 little yellow book ends. Get it? Book ends. Little yellow book ends.
I don't get it.
Anyone else kinda want an episode explaining the story behind all of Spongebobd psychological ticks from his diary? Like whats the story between plaid and chickens?
When i was a kid I never understood the fear and worry in that guy when he said "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY DRINK?!" Until now...
11:40 the window is empty and is still in view while this is going on, but as soon as the laughing starts and it cuts back, suddenly squidward is leaning through it
little yellow book is the most fair sponge bob episode ever spongebob has been disrespecting squidwards privacy for years so it’s only fair that squidward disrespects spongebobs privacy
I love your panda persona, Alpha Jay!
Next Year you should do April Fools Rules vs Fools Paradise
+Trapmaster Six Sure! The link for requests is in the description below.
I just found it weird how Patrick didn't even really react over hearing that Squid's joke made Spongebob cry.
"Damn dude, it was that bad huh? He cried."
I figured he would have confronted Squidward.
I feel like one of the biggest examples of flanderism is when Miss Puff tried to get SpongeBob killed.😂
All those years of a character crashing their boat does that to you I guess. Seriously though, she got annoyed with the sponge in earlier episodes, but she would of never tried to kill Sponge Bob. Do you agree Alpha Jay?
Heck, he annoyed the crap out of her at times but Miss Puff still cared about him.
Honestly, a plot around this Diary concept could work out.
Maybe Squidward thinks Spongebob wrote down something embarrassing about him in the diary and he does a bunch of stuff to get it?
Maybe Spongebob and Patrick both read it together and their reactions to certain entries get him curious enough to take it for himself?
After all, he has been shown to have a curious side, even in the earlier seasons, and that his curiosity and thoughts will drive him crazy unless he figures out what's going on or what secret is being kept.
There could have been waaaaay less meanspirited plotlines based around that Diary that would also keep Squidward's character in tact for once
7:24 no not even- his finding skills are worse than Dora the Explorer
Okay, let’s talk about this. NUDITY ISNT COMEDY. Little yellow book
Also mentioning the shippers messed up that moment
Thats why i stopped liking nick
Oh please nick get braincells and put glitch techs on cable other than netflix
Great comparison.
+JEDI TOAD Thank you :D
Seriously? He just said all the positives on the fools in April and all the negatives in little yellow book, how is that a great comparison?
i love spongebob
Uh, I would like that internet cookie. So I would like to explain. People when they are working a stressful job or a job in general when it’s your break you take a smoke, or cigarette for common folk. Yea where is my internet cookie.
Both episodes are great.
even tho "Little Yellow Book" Is one of my favorites, I tend to love both episodes
I do agree on your opinion on it tho
I finally found someone else who likes Little Yellow Book. #ILikeLittleYellowBook
I like how you just gave up on Little Yellow Book by the end.
6:00 Time passes faster in cartoons.
Squidward treats SpongeBod so bad because it feels like therapy for his hatred towards him.
Squidward was only capable to apologize because the entire town made his life hell and pressured him. They didn't even guilt trip him, he was just punished and apologized only to see if it would stop. He passes by a crying Spongebob, he laughs at the mention of what happened and, when given the chance, he does it again! Which proves Squidward's assholery goes beyond his sense of self-preservation.
At least in the other episode the town and Patrick only served as a mean for Squidward to think about what he just did, and even without tnem, Squidward's concience would have made him apologize anyway because he's still a good person deep down.
Fools In April Vs. Opposite Day!
+MINIMaxBOXING Sorry, I only do Versus of episodes I haven't already reviewed.
wasn't spongebob's spatula already named "spatula" or something? why rename it fifi for that episode?
Mimi Nguyen Because Spongebob has no continuity

*who wants some fried calamari?*
Oh shit
I love it! Well, structured video.
+candice salsberry I double love your double comment :P
12:02 when everyone turns on you yet they were doing the same thing as you a moment ago.
All of the characters on this show have oddly-shaped bodies.
remember when Viacom was our friend now their our enemy
The Demon Hellraiser BROTHERS AND SISTERS GRAB YOUR ARMS! IT IS TIME FOR US TO MARCH AGAINST OUR CURSED ENEMY, VIACOM. WE SHALL FIGHT AND CLAIM OUR FREEDOM! ARE YOU WITH ME?
Gopher yes
2020
May 1st 1999-March 01st 2020 is 20 years and 10 months of Spongebob being on TV. Almost 21 years.
That's minusing 1997's pilot. Only Spongebob's debut to today March 01st 2020.
Wait what. FiFi I thought SpongeBob called his spatula spat talk about continuity Errors
The one thing I don't care for in the video, from a 'logical' point of view is the ripping on the jump cuts. Lots of cartoons do this, and while it could cause some tension to animate or foley a character walking to another character who is obviously doing something they aren't supposed to, I don't necessarily think it's needed. You've talked before about animation being able to do things that live action can't, it's perfectly reasonable to believe all of these jump cuts could actually happen in a made up world. It's not like they go from Squidward being in the boat in one frame to being on the moon on the next. He's preoccupied for a good couple of frames, making it possible for the audience to believe that the line filled up while he was settling in. You seem to pick at these kind of things in a lot of your videos, some of which I agree with, but in this case it really feels like something that was harped on just for posterity's sake. That being said I agree with most of the rest of your point's in this video, and the editing is on point as always, please keep it up!
Well to be fair or octopi can shift through any small space and get through it so it's not unheard of that he could have moved his tentacled farther out
Hey Alpha Jay, I have an idea for a "How I'd Write" episode, The Big Fairy Share Scare. There is a catch to this, and that is that you have to use Chloe, you CAN'T use Remmy, Chester, or anyone else as the other God kid, it has to be Chloe.
I think the reason Squidward didn’t get spongebob’s attention is because he thought even if Squidward went looking for him wouldn’t know where he was
I'm Glad You Are Growing All Those Haters Need To Flea Out Of Here
1:25 That actualy happens. 07:23 there's no line, everyone has food, and I can go back to get more coffee cups. 07:24 Holy crap why is there a half-mile line?
It’d be great if Patrick actually knew about SpongeBob’s secrets, and accidentally keeps telling them, but in the end he would fix it and everything yknow
The bikini bottom towns people design that you said is their usual design not just this episode or later but in the past to
