Hello Everyone! Two corrections I wanted to make here, 1 - DVD came out in 1997, not 1998 (I don't know how I was that stupid) 2 - The UK had releases before Lost at Sea, and like the American ones, they only had 5 episodes each initially.
Being born in 2002, I got to grow up in a strange golden era in the mid-to-late 2000s where I had VHS tapes and DVDs in the same household. Never had any of the SpongeBob ones (I had a ton of SB DVDs though), but I did watch a lot of Bob the Builder, Dora and Blue’s Room on tape. Those were good times.
Ahoyhoy There, Fellow RUclipsrino! A fun fact for either the Sea Stories or the Nautical Nonsense VHS; on the Episode "Something Smells," there's a spot on the audio when Sponge says hi to the Building, he then says "I Just don't get it!" This audio is looped twice and there's a missing piece of audio just before. If you watched it with VCR Captions, the captions are also not in synch. This occurs on all copies of this tape and I think it's the only SBSP VHS with permanent errors.
Having been born in 1988, all we had was VHS until around ‘99. VHS didn’t seem to fully phase out until around 2004 in stores. I continued using tapes until around 2009 since not all movies had been released on DVD yet. Got my first HDDVD in 2007 and Blu Ray in 2008. Still have a Sony VCR and some tapes to this day.
I remember during a computer lab class in first grade, we had to watch the episode “Tea at the Treedome”, and I distinctly remembered the VHS cover being the Deep-Sea Sillies one. So, technically the first time I watched the show was on one of these VHS tapes.
Having being interested in sb VHS tapes for awhile, so heres a few facts you may not know - The Sea Stories dvd and vhs have different versions of shanghaied, dvd versions are the cartoon only, the VHS versions include the patchy segments. But only the short version, as to make sure the episode wasnt too short or too long - The Sponge for Hire vhs was also a little weird, the episode the started the vhs, KK Training video, didnt have the SB opening but ended with its own special credits, being followed by Can you spare a dime which had the SB Theme, this was probably done to make the episode feel like more of an actual training video. -the reason that season 4 vhs tapes are a little shorter than the other vhs tapes is because the regular tapes are usually filled with random eps and with usual every one comes with their individual credits, but with the season 4 vhs tapes the season 4 episodes usually on Lost in time, wheres gary, and the first 2 eps of fear of a kb, are usually done in order with the credits having 1 separate credits sequence used to represent a double length or a brother and sister ep as usual instead of a seperate sequence per 11 min segment as a result, the vhs were 58 min instead of 60-62 minutes - Ugh was longer on vhs and dvd than on season dvd, the season dvd was 20 min and 55 sec without theme, whilst the vhs and dvd version was about 30 seconds longer because a patchy going to commercial scene was included.
Wow, that clip of the kids running through that maze with the weird music in the background unlocked a dormant memory in my mind. It took me back to when i watched a spongebob vhs on the tiny crt tv with a built in VHS player in my dad's old Nissan Quest. 😢 good times
I see the SpongeBob DVDs sometimes at local thrift stores, so now I have Sponge for Hire, Nautical Nonsense/Sponge Buddies, The Movie, Tales from the Deep, Ghouls Fools, SpongeBob vs The Big One, The one with the pilot and Truth or Square, the Nickelodeon Triple Pack, and a Season 5 DVD, all of which I paid less than $5 for at various stores and garage sales. I also have the Halloween one on VHS which was a huge part of my childhood. Not a huge collection yet, but I am still looking. Great video, underrated channel as well!
it should be noted that Nickelodeon had VHS releases prior. They had a few releases from a third party in the late 80s before they struck a distribution deal with Sony Wonder in the 90s, which lasted until 1996, with Paramount taking over after
I was actually aware of that before. It just didn't come up Naturally in the Commentary. If I ever do a video about Nickelodeon VHS in general, I'll have to talk about that. I always found Sony Wonder brand really interesting.
At a time where we've got 12+ seasons of Spongebob and spinoffs available for a monthly fee on Paramount+, it's so interesting to look back at how the show was offered on home media during the show's early years. Thanks for making this!
SpongeBob premiered when my mom was 13 and she instantly became a lifelong fan. So as you’d think, she just had to get me in on the action as well when I was born in 2003. We’ve watched every episode together (we still do), we saw the first movie in theaters despite me just being a year old, she couldn’t stop buying SpongeBob merchandise for me (I had the whole freaking bed set!), and of course, she bought so many of the DVDs and VHS tapes that it was hard to keep up with. My dad literally had to hold both her arms and say “baby, this needs to stop” 😂😂 some of the best childhood memories I’ve ever had. I’m really glad to be a SpongeBob fan.
The UK had SpongeBob VHS that went up until SpongeGuard On Duty. SpongeBob goes Prehistoric, The Seascape Capers, SpongeGuard On Duty, Lost At Sea, Tide and Seek and Tales From The Deep had the same amount of episodes as their DVD counterparts instead of 5 episodes that are on the US VHSs. Tide and Seek, Lost At Sea and Tales From The Deep were only in the UK as VHSs
6:12 holy shit I actually REMEMBER this. My dad always had plenty of VHS tapes when I was growing up and I for sure had some SpongeBob ones. I never realized how weird that part of the video actually was until now
6:12 I know that many people see this bumper as being weird or creepy, but I look at it as a total celebration of the Y2K aesthetic and a positive look at the future. I just wish that they did more with this than just a one minute bumper. Like they put the time and effort into creating this world of nature with its own unique aesthetic and music, but this is all we got. And it's a completely mystery as to who directed it or who any of the crew were. It's a shame, really.
In all honesty I don't think it's that weird or Creepy. And I definitely think it looks pretty cool for the Time. And the aesthetic is something I can't even quite put my Finger on. It almost has a Liminal Space feel to it. Which might contribute to the Creepiness that might be felt here. I guess non of us knowing who made, adds to this. It's like reverse lost media.
@@Pandosyanna The special effects are amazing for the time, especially for just a short bumper. It does remind me of a lot of liminal spaces, which I actually kinda like. While some of them are definitely creepy, I actually find most to be relaxing. Maybe it's because I'm generally not a social person and like being alone, but there's something oddly comforting about liminal spaces to me. And this is no exception. I really hope that we find out who made the bumper because I would love to know the design process and inspirations for it. Because while the 90's VHS bumper was basically a combination of all the most popular Nick bumpers, this 2000's one is entirely unlike anything before (or even after) it.
Tales from the Deep was the first DVD I remember owning. I want to say the then "Never Before Seen Episode" (I had an Accident) was a selling feature. Or maybe I just remember first seeing it on the DVD.
I grew up with Deep Sea Sillies at my grandma’s house, so I have a HUGE nostalgia bias towards it, especially the opening. And recently in April I collected all of the VHS tapes from eBay, minus Undersea Antics because that’s just a combination of the first two tapes.
Fun fact, albeit one I assume most people know, the version of "Just One Bite" included on here and in all home media releases that includes the episode is that of the Edited Version... I don't feel the need to go into detail as to why the unedited version has never been officially released, because if you know, you know.
6:13 literally frame 1 one when you showed I instantly remembered this nick intro thing. I remember as a kid wishing i was the kids in the maze because ive never been in a hedge maze before
Fun Fact Christmas, Seascape Capers, Spongebob Goes Prehistoric, and Spongeguard on Duty while most commonly seen in black tapes did have orange taped releases (there's probably more but these are the only 4 I know)
Sponge Buddies & Nautical Nonsense where the only 2 spongebob vhs that had the 1986 paramount logo in the binging. Zoey 101 spring break up the only zoey 101 vhs in 2006. Drake & Josh Suddenly Brothers released in 2005 and Drake and josh go to Hollywood in 2006 both released on dvd and vhs.
Nautical nonsense, sponge buddies and spongebob Halloween unlocked a core memory for me. I used to watch those religiously at my grandma’s house when I was a kid.
OMG THE SPONGEBOB CHRISTMAS TAPE!! I think I still have that thing from many many years ago! Me and my cousin probably wore out a part of it because we kept rewinding to the part in Snowball Effect where Squidward squirted the lemon into his eye and we couldn't stop laughing.
Apparently Kidmongous was specifically a Blockbuster thing. I remember when I was a kid I collected Transformers VHS tapes, and each had 2 episodes. Then there were two Blockbuster exclusive tapes that had 5 episodes each. So I guess Blockbuster just liked having more episodes per tape.
The term "Sponge Buddy" was originally spoken by Plankton in F.U.N., one of the episodes in the original VHS set. The creators of SpongeBuddy Mania have confirmed that this is where they got the name for the site.
The opening tangent on the debut of DVD in 1998 is a bit misleading. because I've seen North American DVD releases that were released in 1997! the two releases I can name off the top of my head are Sesame Street 25th Birthday A Musical Celebration, and Elmo Saves Christmas.
Nautical nonsense and spongebuddies i grew up with in the early 2000s. Some nostalgic episodes as they were around season 1 and 2. PS the nickelodeon butterfly maze intro really gave me nostalgia.
I had most of these including lost in time. Both my parents and grandparents had vhs. Only mom and dad had dvd and i visited grandmas a lot so they only ever bought the tapes. I think i was missng 3 of them. I have fond memories of watching these tapes on repeat for hours. I used the sponge for hire one so much we had to buy another one. I remember it took them a while to trafk it down as vhs was gone from most stores when i wore it out.
I remember when we had a SpongeBob DVD my 2 oldest kids used to watch them in the car years ago once they were good I got them from Walmart or Family Dollar I think.
There actually was a lot of episodes released pre-airing on Tapes and DVDs. I didn't want to have to mention all of them since it would break the flow of the Video, but I wanted to at least mentioned one of them.
Although I never had the vhs tapes I did have the complete 2nd and 3rd season dvd box sets with nice artwork. Unfortunately 2 of the dvds from the third season box set don’t fully work anymore because they have scratches but I can’t throw them away since they’re very nostalgic to me
Ahoyhoy There, Fellow RUclipsrino! I have a copy of the first release. I also have Sea Stories and Christmas, Who!. On one of them, the Something Smells episode the captions and audio are off in one scene. That's on all VHS copies of this episode
I Actually have started making a SpongeBob on DVD vid. It's probably going to be much longer, just because there's much more releases of them. Right now I'm working on a Separate Video (that's also kinda long) which will be my Next Video. I'm slowly working both at the same time, so the DVD video should be coming within the Next Month.
Remember getting a few for Christmas when I was real little watched them to death would look for some whenever going to the video store or VHS tapes section of whatever mall I went to back up the day same with power rangers dbz and batman 😊😊
oh and 10:18 we did get nautical nonsense and spongebuddies i believe. i literally just looked on ebay for spongebob uk tapes and the only real result was one of nautical nonsense. its probably not documented because the uk tapes seem to be very scarce
Pretty pretty good video. No one else has really covered this topic in such a thorough way so I'm glad to see this. Shocked to see you only have a couple hundred subscribers, did my part and subscribed.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. This Video kinda blew up (at least for my standards). I only 99 subs before this, so I'm glad I was able to reach up to 254 subs atm. I hope to be making more Videos in this Style in the Future. And also trying out more sytles to boot. :)
I actually had the DVD version of sponge for hire am I copy sounds like day lazily ripta from a VHS tape I don't know if I bought a bootleg by mistake or there's something more to that
That promo with the maze was pretty cool, however the design of the maze itself is so unfitting for the direction and tone, it should have looked more bright and colorful instead of being made out of stone.
I think they were going for more of a hedge maze look, but it does look very flat and I can see why it would be unsettling. Maybe for budget reasons, they just couldn't make it look the way they wanted to. I tried doing a sketch of a different interpretation to see if it would work better, though I think mine is a little too busy. media/discordapp/net/attachments/455508997164761098/1156873930993324032/maze_concept.png (The slashes after "media" and "discordapp" are meant to be replaced with periods.)
I was born in the late 90s and had most of these tapes. I just went on eBay to see if buying the rest new was an option and uh... $75 for a VHS in 2023 ain't happening lol
I like this video, but in some parts you talk fast that it kinda sounds like mumbling and the volume is distorted. You need to turn down the microphone’s audio to prevent this.
Hello Everyone! Two corrections I wanted to make here,
1 - DVD came out in 1997, not 1998 (I don't know how I was that stupid)
2 - The UK had releases before Lost at Sea, and like the American ones, they only had 5 episodes each initially.

Same, except being on the lower economic side I was rocking with 90s tech for a while.
And the funny thing is most of the stuff we had was either old gifts or we bought used years later after it was obsolescent cuz it was more affordable
@@Mr.Timwell Me too. I was born in 2003 and I grew up with both VHS and DVD. In fact, we still kept our old GoVideo DVD/VCR combo player!!
Having been born in 1988, all we had was VHS until around ‘99. VHS didn’t seem to fully phase out until around 2004 in stores. I continued using tapes until around 2009 since not all movies had been released on DVD yet. Got my first HDDVD in 2007 and Blu Ray in 2008. Still have a Sony VCR and some tapes to this day.
Wow seeing those kids go through the maze unlocked a DEEP memory
"The Seascape Capers" was my first introduction to SpongeBob as a kid, and it's a great one at that
Bro that nonsense and buddies preview unlocked a core memory in my brain from when I was like 7. Thank you
I remember during a computer lab class in first grade, we had to watch the episode “Tea at the Treedome”, and I distinctly remembered the VHS cover being the Deep-Sea Sillies one.
So, technically the first time I watched the show was on one of these VHS tapes.
Ha! That's funny. I wish I could have watched SpongeBob in school... Either way, Great Memory!
I grew up with "Nautical Nonsense" and "Spongebob Halloween". Graveyard Shift became my favorite episode because of these VHS tapes.
That was another episode that was released on VHS before airing on TV.
Having being interested in sb VHS tapes for awhile, so heres a few facts you may not know
- The Sea Stories dvd and vhs have different versions of shanghaied, dvd versions are the cartoon only, the VHS versions include the patchy segments. But only the short version, as to make sure the episode wasnt too short or too long

I was actually aware of that before. It just didn't come up Naturally in the Commentary. If I ever do a video about Nickelodeon VHS in general, I'll have to talk about that. I always found Sony Wonder brand really interesting.
Which makes sense, since Nickelodeon's parent company Viacom didn't acquire Paramount until 1994.
I love how the episode packs are so random in terms of episode selection
At a time where we've got 12+ seasons of Spongebob and spinoffs available for a monthly fee on Paramount+, it's so interesting to look back at how the show was offered on home media during the show's early years. Thanks for making this!
Good lord imagine how many VHS there would have to be to encompass the entire series by this point.
They’re still making SpongeBob home media thought I thought Kamp Koral got a dvd last year

That's Funny. I've been a Spongebob fan for as long as I've lived. I can even remember how I first watched it.
Born in 2006 I got to experience the end of the vhs era and had a vhs and dvd combo player and still have it to this day
The UK had SpongeBob VHS that went up until SpongeGuard On Duty. SpongeBob goes Prehistoric, The Seascape Capers, SpongeGuard On Duty, Lost At Sea, Tide and Seek and Tales From The Deep had the same amount of episodes as their DVD counterparts instead of 5 episodes that are on the US VHSs. Tide and Seek, Lost At Sea and Tales From The Deep were only in the UK as VHSs
8:09 - the Spanish tape has a mistake where SpongeBob in a bathtub is layered on top of himself

Auto-generated subtitled heard "Tea At The Treedome" as "Tear the tree down"
Sounds like a Badass episode!
Why were you rushing through them all???
I had the nautical nonsense & Sponge buddies VHS. Watched the same episodes over and over. Lol, didn't have cable.
Please, list every season 1-2-3 episode that weren’t released on vhs (* for ones that were but in other countries)
The term "Sponge Buddy" was originally spoken by Plankton in F.U.N., one of the episodes in the original VHS set. The creators of SpongeBuddy Mania have confirmed that this is where they got the name for the site.
I guess that makes more sense. That was back when they were two separate forums, the Spongebuddy forum, and the Spongebob Mania forum.
First time having SpongeBob on home video was the Home Sweet Pineapple VHS
Sorry for forgetting it :(
The opening tangent on the debut of DVD in 1998 is a bit misleading. because I've seen North American DVD releases that were released in 1997! the two releases I can name off the top of my head are Sesame Street 25th Birthday A Musical Celebration, and Elmo Saves Christmas.

SpongeBob DVDs was childhood and good I remember Spongebob on DVD
Extremely good video... You should do one on the history of the simpsons on vhs
I know you won't do it but you should do DVD next.

Right now I'm working on a Separate Video (that's also kinda long) which will be my Next Video. I'm slowly working both at the same time, so the DVD video should be coming within the Next Month.

Yeah, I'm not actually sure. I know they had a Spongebuddies (just Spongebuddies) DVD release in 2005. They probably did, they just aren't documented.
I had a DVD but thank God I got rid of it and all that stuff.

Dang, the UK got it lucky.
Pretty pretty good video.
No one else has really covered this topic in such a thorough way so I'm glad to see this.
Shocked to see you only have a couple hundred subscribers, did my part and subscribed.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. This Video kinda blew up (at least for my standards). I only 99 subs before this, so I'm glad I was able to reach up to 254 subs atm. I hope to be making more Videos in this Style in the Future. And also trying out more sytles to boot. :)
6:10 what did u search for to find this?
...Feels weird to be as old as the first video release of Spongebob (roughly, I was born in May)
[becomes 331st sub]
Loved this video!! You should follow it up with the Spongebob DVDs, this is a pretty intetesting topic >:D
It's Coming soon!
Ahoyhoy There , the image of SBSP on the skateboard was also used in a Spongebob Memory Game. I DK what year
That's interesting. The Render almost feels something they would have used in one of those old Tony Hawk Rip-offs.
I actually had the DVD version of sponge for hire am I copy sounds like day lazily ripta from a VHS tape I don't know if I bought a bootleg by mistake or there's something more to that
That promo with the maze was pretty cool, however the design of the maze itself is so unfitting for the direction and tone, it should have looked more bright and colorful instead of being made out of stone.
I think they were going for more of a hedge maze look, but it does look very flat and I can see why it would be unsettling. Maybe for budget reasons, they just couldn't make it look the way they wanted to. I tried doing a sketch of a different interpretation to see if it would work better, though I think mine is a little too busy.

6:11 is something i first saw on a Rugrats tape i found at a garage sale in 2019 and it felt like a fever dream
I was born in the late 90s and had most of these tapes. I just went on eBay to see if buying the rest new was an option and uh... $75 for a VHS in 2023 ain't happening lol
You gotta love VHS
Ive got a second generation copy of Best of Nicktoons 1998
Then Release it
I like this video, but in some parts you talk fast that it kinda sounds like mumbling and the volume is distorted. You need to turn down the microphone’s audio to prevent this.
Who yeah they use same music for some old Lego spongebob video of soccer with Star Wars
