I always found it funny how the fish they literally just met not only already knew who nosferatu was but knew him well enough to chastise him for flickering the lights in a way that implied he was used to his antics
I always loved this episode, but man, every time the boy revealed himself, I would always try to change the Channel as fast as I could before the vampire showed up.😅 It scared me.
Don't worry, you can get rid of him very easily. All you need to do is find a pure virgin woman that willingly offers herself to him, so that he distracted long enough for the sun to rise and kill him.
I love how they wrote this episode and planned it out so that all the weird stuff would have an explanation by the end only to purposefully leave out an explanation for the light thing so they could bring it up and make a joke about 1920s silent movie vampire Nosferatu living in the Krusty Krab like he's just some guy
When I was 7, I was scared to death of Nosferatu! I still laughed, though His face at the end is priceless He's like, "oh, shit! You got me!" This scene is still hilarious to me!
Here’s some interesting facts: They all refer to the character as “Nosferatu”, but his real name in his original appearance (a German silent film in 1922) was “Count Orlock”. The word “Nosferatu” means “vampire”. The 1922 Nosferatu film was based on the Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel, so the change(s) of the term “Nosferatu” and the character “Count Orlock” were chosen to avoid confusion with the book’s terms and the character, and to avoid copyright issues. These copyright issues was also the reason why the film was originally never released in America and only in Germany. However, it did end up being a victim of copyright, and a court ruled all copies be destroyed! However, a few copies survived, and today, the movie Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, is known as one of the best and most influential horror films of all time :D And the first three SpongeBob seasons are still masterpieces in 2024
Spongebob is the most dedicated worker I've ever seen. He was terrified all night, but once he sees that the dude wanted a job application he goes "do you have references?"
Robert Eggers credited this scene for introducing kids to Nosferatu. (Funny for me, that was Vampire: The Masquerade well before this episode came out)
Love how the director of nosforlatu shouted out this episode of SpongeBob in an interview bc it introduced a lot of kids from our generation to the character. We probably would’ve never heard of.
I'm here before I watch the movie on Friday. I can't believe SpongeBob is what first introduced me to Nosferatu. Possibly the most random collaboration ever. 😂😭
We just watched this for an assignment in my German Literature and Film course and I finally feel like my life has come full circle after never getting this reference as a kid
Don't wanna explain the whole joke. But i appreciate how the whole episode is them being scared towards an urban legend that might not be true but when they face a real vampire they act like normally.
When I first saw this, I totally thought that they were saying "No's for Ratu" like the character's name was Ratu and they were giving him "No"s, like he was an unruly puppy they were saying no to for flipping the lightswitch. I'd never heard of a Nosferatu!
I always thought this was funny because they finally found out who was flickering the lights. And it made me curious about Nosferatu. Once I learned about the 1922 silent film it made the joked that much more sense.
Hands down my favourite Spongebob moment of all time First off I'll never forget how scared I was when I saw it as 5 year old,but now I just have a big smile on my face when I see this scene Idk man,I guess I like it because they were so scared of this guy with a spatula hand but were kinda relieved when they figured it was Nosferatu who was flicking the lights
When I watched this as a kid, I had no idea who Nosferatu was. All I knew was that they had a monster with them the whole time, yet they were terrified of a fish holding a spatula.
Gotta love that a vampire from a 1922 silent film just randomly shows up in kids cartoon show

Who in the world asked you to say Nosferatu was a boy, he’s a man (just a joke, no offense.)
I closed my eyes whenever this part came on
I love that they were terrified of a perceived threat but treat a literal vampire like a loveable scamp.
If nosferatu doesn’t flicker lights in the 2024 remake I won’t watch it
He sadly won't but our boy made it to the big time!

Nosferatu didn't die, he's now the closing manager at Krusty Krab.
Notice that in the movie he simply faded away once the sunlight hit him, when in reality he teleported himself to Bikini Bottom and the Krusty Krab.

And the guy who played Orlok in the movie (Max Schreck) , his name literally translates to “Terror” in German. Ironic.
Did he like to flicker lights in the movie?

The fact that you could hear the switch clicking the entire time foreshadowed to the fact that somebody was actually flicking it off and on.
Target Audience. Eggers Nosferatu was PEAK cinema. Saw it in IMAX on Christmas night. Probably second best movie of the year behind Dune 2.
Still a better use of a public domain character than what’s been recently happening with Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse.
It’s nice to see a SpongeBob video without the comments turned off

Hands down my favourite Spongebob moment of all time
First off I'll never forget how scared I was when I saw it as 5 year old,but now I just have a big smile on my face when I see this scene

Today is the 100th anniversary of the nosferatu film, which would probably be completely forgotten if it wasn't for this episode. Good stuff
Can we just acknowledge that when SpongeBob turned to face Nosferatu, they squeaked. Just really nice adding to detail.
Went to Nosferatu and kept expecting it to end like this. I was disappointed….
The only reason I went to see it was because of this.
