It's crazy how inconsistent SpongeBob's animation quality can be now even within the same episode

Every major appearance of Incidental 49A (Realtor Fish)...🧵 SEASON ONE: "Opposite Day"

One of my favorite screams in the SpongeBob

"Hooray Gary, we're finally huge!" is one of the all time random SpongeBob lines to me. I love the implication that one of SpongeBob's dreams is just to wake up giant one day

Sensitive content

In the original animatic for "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V," Sandy as Miss Appear is defeated in a different way. Obviously, this gag had to be changed for the final episode.

I'm physically incapable of watching this bit without laughing

Over $200 dollars for a SpongeBob LEGO set

There's no way it's that good bro

I love gags like this that seem so obvious, but so clever at the same time

For inquiring minds, basically the biggest difference is the more prominent stock squeak rubber sound effect and lower pitch

SpongeBob is capable of great violence

This bit from the new episode got a laugh from me. Love the delivery, SpongeBob takes druids very seriously.

I can't do it...I can't do it Squidward...every tv show, every movie, REVIVAL REBOOT REHASH SPINOFF, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! IF I HAVE TO SEE ANOTHER RECYCLED IDEA I THINK I'M GONNA EXPLODE

I'm very curious as to how SpongeBob even got himself into this situation in the first place

Happy Halloween! Drawings by Mark O'Hare

Intrigued by SpongeBob's unenthusiastic screaming and vocalizations from the earliest of early episodes, I guess it's a relic from when they hadn't quite decided on the range of his voice yet.

Even the normal “bouncing head” dialogue animation is done extremely well

Happy 4th of July

When recording the part where the Dutchman eats them (from an alternate ending) the cast is told by Stephen Hillenburg to make the walla "lighter" and less like the characters are upset. The voice actors then start riffing as if they were being brutally digested.

This episode is turning 26 this year, but I still think it's the best of all the show's Halloween episodes

Is "who put you on the planet" a reference to something? It feels so specific and random that it has to be lol

Fun Fact: Did you know that Bill Fagerbakke improved "leedle leedle lee" during the recording session of Shanghaied? The script called for a long scream. Here is an excerpt of the session, the session in whole is available on YouTube!

I've now learned that this is a reference to a public access show that used to run in LA, called Spirit of Truth. "Who put you on the planet?" and even the exact dance is in this clip from the show

Love how SpongeBob actually calls her "medieval Sandy" and that she randomly turns into a picture of a real squirrel when defeated

On the "Square Shorts" DVD, every short is cut off early by about five seconds. In the original short, SpongeBob lifts his head and finishes saying "you're welcome" after being hit by the bus. However on the DVD, THIS is exactly how the short is shown.

Did you know that the face in the hot sauce is Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob? According to Tom, after they filmed this scene in the Nickelodeon Studios bathroom, he had to go somewhere else with his face still partially painted, as he couldn't get it all off.

Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke recreate the noises they made for "SB-129."

Did you know that this seemingly random non-sequitur from "Friendiversary" is actually a nod to an early SpongeBob non-sequitur? 25 years later, we're seeing the "part about the lima beans and the car chase!"

This episode is one of my favorite performances from Clancy Brown and Mr. Lawrence as Krabs and Plankton. The whole episode is just pure interpersonal drama and I love it. Love this flavor of cartoon where the characters are taken kind of seriously but the drawings are still fun

This scene from the same episode is another example of this. This is almost 40 seconds without a single gag or joke!! But I was never bored watching it as a kid.

To celebrate SpongeBob's 26th birthday, here are some of my favorite lines/quotes from when I was a kid. What are YOUR favorite SpongeBob quotes?

A new episode came out yesterday that's about an alternate world where everyone's house is alive. SpongeBob's house is played by Wallace Shawn, and the main cast hardly appears at all. It's a neat idea!

To my knowledge, this is the only time Krabs actually says "SpongeBoy me Bob," despite it being so heavily quoted

The SpongeBob cast discussing the hidden meaning of 'Karate Choppers,' from a 2003 DVD commentary.

This was my first exposure to the story of "The Telltale Heart" as a kid. When I read it in class, my mind was blown.

Everyone's celebrating 'SpongeBob Day,' but do you remember 'National No SpongeBob Day?'

I love the colors in this graveyard scene, and how the flower clouds are all squiggly and misshapen
