The ironic thing about Gumball is according to Sarah, his "greatest power" is his sense of optimism. If Gumball truly WAS as optimistic as she claims, would he even have those insecurities at all...and why would an optimistic person want to hurt (emotionally speaking) someone like Alan
I definitely see myself in these kind of characters. I'm for the most part pretty go with the flow,it usually takes quite alot for me to be legitimately angry.
@@korhol2065 Yeah, I really don't like the ending of that episode where Squidward becomes homeless because Mr. Krabby is fucking paranoid cheapskate. The ending is where Mr. Krabs goes back to accusing Squidward over something even more ridiculous and Spongebob changes into his maid costume.
Another trope parallel to this that is quite interesting is when a character who is usually angry or bad-tempered has a genuine moment of happiness and/or vulnerability.
I resonate with this. They say "Beware the Nice Ones", but just because a person is nice doesn't automatically mean they're weak or they won't/can't get angry. It's a generational yet very toxic and stereotypical common misconception most people, if not all, people think and believe in.
@timelink3315 FACTS! The use that as justification and the hypocrisy and double standard surrounding it. It has become so normalized that any attempt an innocent victim stands up to oppression becomes the bad guy. People hate it when oppressed people stand up to oppression or oppressive people. That's how normalized it's become.
It's a double sided coin. Either the person acts nice but in reality is a douche if you don't fall for their tricks. Or they're actually good people but stepping on their boundaries gives real consequences.
Calling people who complain all the time "a weight" is JUST the take I've needed to hear for ages, omfg. I've had to put up with so many people like this. Like I get it, maybe they're depressed, maybe they just have a hard time looking at the bright side. But as a former pessimist turned optimist, I can tell you from personal experience that being negative all the time is _not_ healthy and will actually make you even MORE depressed than you already are. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep looking for the bright side no matter what tries or manages to knock you down. Your friends most likely do not think you're a burden if you're a person who complains. But like Joy says, it's _so_ hard staying positive when everyone constantly complains. But somebody's gotta do it.
No more Mr. Nice Guy! I've found a new style, With claws, and pointy teeth, And a villainous smile! Goodbye, goody two-shoes, I'm no longer uptight. 'Cause now I'm a shark And I'm ready to bite! And I'll say what I want, And the truth's gonna sting I'll be brutal and blunt It will hurt when I sing! So look-out-worl- (Slap)
That's one of the many things I love about those particular kinds of characters! The scenes where they get mad or go crazy further show that even a person who tries to maintain a positive, calm and collected, happy go lucky personality can only be pushed so far until they eventually snap and go mad.
Honestly, I think he was playing dumb, because at SpongeBob's house, he's basically treated like a king, and Squidward, for all his faults, is not dumb or oblivious (unless it involves his talent). So I think Squidward acted oblivious on purpose, because he wanted to avoid taking responsibility for himself, and take advantage of SpongeBob's kindness and generousity for as long as possible.
Btw, Lindsay yelling at Heather without the censor bleep is ironically the censored version of the scene. CN didn't allow censor bleeps on their network since it was too adult so they had to redub it and come up with something more pg.
It strangely feels so good when a usually incredibly nice and polite character finally snaps in anger, its always unexpected that you almost gotta applaud them for not keeping it in anymore
I'm happy you've seen Inside Out 2. I relate to the situation in the movie a lot. Joy wanted Riley to only have positive thoughts, but Anxiety wanted her to focus more on her problems.
Which is a good foil to both characters. Joy wanted Riley to be positive but Anxiety wanted her to focus on her future. Good intentions but terrible methods
Avatar Aang snap at the end of The Desert episode is fantastic. Those Sand Benders should consider themselves lucky Aang wasn't allowed to do what Zaheer did to eliminate the Earth Queen.
Ned Flanders' backstory makes.. a lot of sense, honestly. Most people who had childhood trauma, like Ned, end up becoming either the happy-go-lucky, nice person who is often a people pleaser and/or always bottles all their negative emotions because they feel like they're a burden to others or an absolute monster who just.. decided that humanity no longer deserves to exist. Or, you know, the third option where the person is always in a deep depression, unable to push out of it, a complete shut-in who just wants nothing to do with the world. I'm a mix of option one and three.
If there's one thing the modern SpongeBob episodes are definitely lacking, it's him snapping. His defining personality (Fladerization) now is that he's either overtly happy or overtly sad, there's barely any scenes of him getting mad and calling out those who angered him.
As odd as it may seem, I very much enjoy these moments. It makes the character a tad bit more realistic, because to be entirely truthful, everyone has a limit for what they can tolerate.
It's not on the list, but Rocko from Rocko's Modern Life is what comes to mind when the nice character snaps. One episode in particular, Rocko's Happy Sack, was when he got the most mad. He had to go shopping because he ran out of food and there was a huge sale at the store that stopped at 12:00pm. He ran into shenanigans, got to the cashier with like $150 worth of stuff (costing like $1.50 with the sale), and just before the sale price rung up, 12:00pm hit, and he _barely_ missed the 99% off sale. And he basically got pissed at the cashier saying this: "YOU CHEAP LITTLE ROTTER!!!!!!! I have been run over by a car, made to drag around a gimp shopping cart, threatened by your Gestapo security guards, had me head set on fire, I was attacked by wild lobsters, beaten by a very LARGE woman, had me dog wrapped in plastic, nearly starved to death and I still beat the twelve o'clock deadline! So if you don't change that total back to a dollar fifty, I WILL DO SOMETHING NOT NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I mean can't blame him. If I barely missed a *_99% OFF SALE_*, I'd be pretty pissed off too.
Everyone always talks about Phineas getting mad at Candice but I loved Phineas getting mad at perry being a secret agent way more. I could understand why he thought Perry was only using them as a cover but he found out in the end Perry really loves them
@AlphaJayShow I love the nice character to but when they eventually snap it's one one the most gratifying things to see especially when said antagonist character deserves it
SpongeBob is a perfect example his personality is just filled with joy, but when he reached his limits he lets you know he’s not a doormat and will put his foot down harshly
Imagine Sonic the hedgehog he snaps where he transforms into Dark Sonic. Imagine Gumball snapping at anais for all she did to him like the rival and the parasite and the nobody and the hero.
One of the characters I know that are completely nice but gets snappy is Micky Mouse. In the early 2000s Micky cartoons he would show signs of anger, jealousy and annoyance to his rivals or friends. I miss that version.
Lindsey cussing out Heather was the funniest moment in TD history. Even Duncan, who was an ex-con, thought Heather went too far and deserved that tongue lashing.😅 And Ed telling off Sarah was the best thing ever also. It showed that if he had a brain, he would've been a legitimate threat to the entire cul-de-sac.
I'd include the entire Desert episode from Airbender on this list. Aang loses Appa and he's a completely different person and is angry towards his friends with multiple outbursts.
You could also mention Dexter’s mom in here as well. She was usually nice and sweet on the show, but could get extremely fed up and angry when pushed by her kids or her husband.
Sandy from Lego Monkie Kid, the gentle giant pacifist of the team who's known for being a very kind character (he loves both cats and tea), also snapped on that one episode called 'To Catch a Leaf, from LMK Season 2.
Lindsay should've had another episode where she called someone out like the way she did to Heather. Like in World Tour, i could see her goin off on Al, Zeke, and maybe Cody.
My personal favorite time where the nice character snaps is Porky in the Looney Tunes Show. If you remember the parade float episode, Daffy accidentally destroys his parade float and felt a $375k yacht would fill the void, so he lies to Porky about needing money for a kidney transplant for him to give him everything he could afford, THEN the money he needs in order to live, and then took the clothes off his back on top of that. As a result, Porky becomes borderline homeless not being able to afford his bills. When Porky finds out what Daffy really spent the money on, he goes ballistic and beats the crap out of him (one of the most satisfying moments in the show as well)
I feel the same way, Panda. Some characters are nice, and some of them have their own problems. I know some cartoon characters are nice, and some of them have their own limits. I get it.
Not even exaggerating when I say that Amy Poehler deserves a Best Actress nomination, if not an actual win, for her performance when Joy snapped. That moment alone made any doubts I had about Inside Out 2 fly away faster than you can tell your mom how your day was. Unfortunately because the scene was in an *animated* film, with the Academy’s animation bias in mind, there basically no chance that she’ll actually be nominated for Best Actress. I don’t even think she’s on any of those Oscar predictions articles, so that’s pretty telling to me. Honestly Wild Robot has a better chance at being nominated for Best Picture than she does being nominated for Best Actress (not that Wild Robot would win because neither Beauty and The Beast nor Up did, so why would Wild Robot?)
Seeing Lindsay calling out heather and joy going off was the most satisfying among all these characters. As someone who try hard not to be people pleaser but have problems being assertive and honest toward people their reaction was my exact thoughts when my patience has be tested for the last time. I could felt their frustration boiling at the tip off the screen.
For some reason I felted uneasy when the good natured characters get mad. For instance Ned Flanders got his house destroyed and snaps at the springfield characters for poorly redoing his house only to get destroyed again for its attempt. Phineas got mad at Perry for lying to him and Ferb about being a secret agent and on Mission Marvel, he yelled at Candace 2 times for messing up the Marvel heroes's recoveries, later apologizes. Spongebob, on one hand, is relatable on how Squidward pushed the limit on annoying Spongebob too much, causes him to get mad. Aang's whole civilization gone and losing sight of Appa, led him in a way to express his feelings by anger. Bubbles wanted to overcome her fear of monstrosity by being angry with it. Steven as his future self, snaps (for no reason for me). And....that's kinda my speech on that.
I am glad that these moments exist. They give characters so much more depth instead of being a two dimensional optimists. They let us relate more to the characters and lets them feel more human. Also, I have a good example of a character snapping. Wander from Wander Over Yonder snapping at Dominator into the episode, The Greater Hater.
Sometimes a nice character snapping is a nice change however they're nice to see that comes from being too dumb to understand the situation, or just being so ridiculously positive it comes off as phony. Is rare to see a nice character whose niece and not dumb. For example Joy from inside out in the first movie was a massive control freak and treated sadness like dirt. SpongeBob is nice however he's often very annoying and dumb and does things that agitate not just Squidward but also other people around him. The flanderization wasn't helping him. Lindsay from Total drama is nice, but she is also very dumb. Ed from Ed Edd n Eddy is also nice but he is incredibly stupid and ridiculously strong, and when he does something it causes a lot of property damage. So there we are
Honestly when a cartoon character swears its the funniest thing ever. Like, when they say "little", you're thinking "no way she's gonna say it" for a split second, and then IN COMES A RUSH of PURE bleeps.
There's a meme of Ed Edd n Eddy where Double D in the episode you mentioned has Ed eat a Snickers bar. Double D tells Ed to eat the Snickers bar because he "gets crabby and out of character when he's hungry." After Double D asks Ed if everything was better; Ed responds that he's happy once more.
I think Lindsey had one of the best arcs in the series she went from the dumb blond to a confident and compendent player. After Action she just started to devolve
Not sure if this counts, but it was satisfying when Simon Petrikov yelled at the vampire king for being a bad dad in the Vampire world reality in the Fionna and Cake spinoff series. It shows just how protective he is of Marcy and how much he sees her as a daughter to himself.
SpongeBob snapping in the job episode is just the best of these moments in history. Because of the nice guy characters he’s basically the god of them, he can be so either oblivious or so happy that other’s negativity doesn’t too often affect him. But here he opened his home, did what he was asked, and took care of Squidward, only for the guy to become a bastard and so rude, that Bob snapped at him passive aggressively, then exploded and even snapped as Krabs trying to get them to work it out. And then the reveal of it being over a dime Krabs had in his pocket the whole time. And a big stone one too. Poor Bob.
This was always one of my favorite tropes/cliches in fiction. Child me used to be curious about the nice characters breaking down. Nowadays, I can totally relate to Wilt, Ned Flanders, and pre-S4 Spongebob.

For instance Ned Flanders got his house destroyed and snaps at the springfield characters for poorly redoing his house only to get destroyed again for its attempt. Phineas got mad at Perry for lying to him and Ferb about being a secret agent and on Mission Marvel, he yelled at Candace 2 times for messing up the Marvel heroes's recoveries, later apologizes. Spongebob, on one hand, is relatable on how Squidward pushed the limit on annoying Spongebob too much, causes him to get mad. Aang's whole civilization gone and losing sight of Appa, led him in a way to express his feelings by anger. Bubbles wanted to overcome her fear of monstrosity by being angry with it. Steven as his future self, snaps (for no reason for me). And....that's kinda my speech on that.
I am glad that these moments exist. They give characters so much more depth instead of being a two dimensional optimists. They let us relate more to the characters and lets them feel more human.
Also, I have a good example of a character snapping. Wander from Wander Over Yonder snapping at Dominator into the episode, The Greater Hater.
I honestly think everyone and everything inevitably snaps at some point.
Sometimes a nice character snapping is a nice change however they're nice to see that comes from being too dumb to understand the situation, or just being so ridiculously positive it comes off as phony.
Is rare to see a nice character whose niece and not dumb.
For example Joy from inside out in the first movie was a massive control freak and treated sadness like dirt.
SpongeBob is nice however he's often very annoying and dumb and does things that agitate not just Squidward but also other people around him.
The flanderization wasn't helping him. Lindsay from Total drama is nice, but she is also very dumb.
Ed from Ed Edd n Eddy is also nice but he is incredibly stupid and ridiculously strong, and when he does something it causes a lot of property damage.
So there we are
12:14 You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
To me Lasauna was always the voice of reason. Assertive, but a voice of reason.
Ed really crashed out cuz there was a pebble in his shoe
Honestly when a cartoon character swears its the funniest thing ever.
Like, when they say "little", you're thinking "no way she's gonna say it" for a split second, and then IN COMES A RUSH of PURE bleeps.
It always satisfying and surprising when nice characters snaps(at least to me)
Please do a part 2!
Someone who’s normally nice becomes the scariest when they snap out.
There's a meme of Ed Edd n Eddy where Double D in the episode you mentioned has Ed eat a Snickers bar. Double D tells Ed to eat the Snickers bar because he "gets crabby and out of character when he's hungry." After Double D asks Ed if everything was better; Ed responds that he's happy once more.
I think Lindsey had one of the best arcs in the series she went from the dumb blond to a confident and compendent player.
After Action she just started to devolve
I just know Ned Flanders will be in there
It’s so satisfying to watch.
*shyly reaches up hands when the questions about the maid outfit comes up*
Oh Joy's break down in Inside Out 2 was so... validating...! Like hella felt. I'm glad they gave her that moment
Not sure if this counts, but it was satisfying when Simon Petrikov yelled at the vampire king for being a bad dad in the Vampire world reality in the Fionna and Cake spinoff series. It shows just how protective he is of Marcy and how much he sees her as a daughter to himself.
SpongeBob snapping in the job episode is just the best of these moments in history. Because of the nice guy characters he’s basically the god of them, he can be so either oblivious or so happy that other’s negativity doesn’t too often affect him. But here he opened his home, did what he was asked, and took care of Squidward, only for the guy to become a bastard and so rude, that Bob snapped at him passive aggressively, then exploded and even snapped as Krabs trying to get them to work it out. And then the reveal of it being over a dime Krabs had in his pocket the whole time. And a big stone one too. Poor Bob.
This was always one of my favorite tropes/cliches in fiction. Child me used to be curious about the nice characters breaking down. Nowadays, I can totally relate to Wilt, Ned Flanders, and pre-S4 Spongebob.
I always interpret Leshawna as the “token sassy black girl”
