"My friend. The day you were born, the very coral reefs of Bikini Bottom whispered the name, Patrick.
My goofy goober. I watched you with pride, as you grew into a weapon. Of delicious fast food.
Remember, our line has always cooked with wisdom, and strength.
And I know that you will show restraint, when exercising your great power.
But the truest victory, Patrick, is stirring the hearts of your people.
I tell you this, for when my days have come to and end. You, shall be Frycook." - Spongebob Squarepants, Lord of the Stove
lmfao!
you know, it should be the first joke on which i left my tear

...This production quality is WAY off the charts.
We are going to need bigger charts
Fucking right? Absolutely blew my mind
More effort went into this than Garrosh's final death scene.
@@Servellion more effort went into this than anything blizzard did the last, i dont know, decade? woops, forgot the shredding, there they showed effort....
@@majstealth Does calling in a union-buster lawfirm for "internal investigation" count as effort?
I'm not sure what scares me more, the sheer quality in this meme video or the fact that Patrick's eyes look so filled with purpose when walking towards the helmet
Literally everything about him screams “I know what must be done”
His heavy footsteps just add to the intensity
Yes
In order to defeat the lovecraftian god that is spongebob sacrifices must be made
Patrick knew what he was doing the whole time. He just needed an excuse to pick up frostmourne.
"Yes"
Yes which is the real reason he defeated the undead to gain their power to defeat the eldritch god known as spongbob because sacrifices must be made to defeat him
I don't know what people were complaining about, this cutscene from Warcraft 3 reforged looks fine to me.
The old one is just better and more emotional. But yeah this one is cool and funny too
I think it's because Warcraft Reforged despite the name, it still looks the same. Like, really the same. Like nothing has changed from the old to the new.
reforged is crap, plus it's ugly
2 above me didnt get a joke XD
Sad that this actually got more effort than the real thing
Spongebob: I dearly hope there's a special place in Davy Jone's locker waiting for you, Patrick.
Patrick: We may never know, Spongebob. I intend to live forever.
underrated comment right here
My son, the day you were born the very kelp forests of Bikini Bottom whispered the name...
Patrick!
Devos: Take your vengeance... Spongbob: Not Vengeance... JUSTICE. 'drops over rock bottom'
God tier comment
better response
Patrick:Ewww thats disgusting why would you wish that sponge bob *cries*
Mr. Krabs: "...someone's touchin' me thermostat."
In his Sleep: "Thermostat.......no"
Entirely underrated reference
Prolly squidwardo
Also mr krab "wu hu free ice for ever..."
No it's who froze me money
Patrick would gladly bear any curse to save his homeland.
He will do anything and pay any prize for the power to save his people.
Patrick would gladly bear any curse to open a jar.
Spongebob would forget the business and lead his men home
this could make a great movie plot for spongebob
@@justineromero6735 Patrick would damn the men, nothing shall prevent him from having his revenge. Not even Spongebob.
Spongebob: "Mr Crab, Patrick took away our souls with the Frostmourne."
Mr Crab: "Spongebob, you and Squidward work in dead end, minimum wage jobs. You don´t need souls."
It's true
You can replace Mr. Crabs with any executive in Silicon Valley and it’ll still be relevant! 😂😂🤣
@@RageCreati0n That's the point of Mr. Krabs.
Yo who’s paying for those houses tho, ain’t no way they not doin some inside shady shit
Why did I hear this in mr krabs voice 😂
The cut to a real life owl was like something out of an actual episode of Spongebob.
true 😂
But if Patrick's in the gorilla costume, then who's that?
Bro, that's exactly what I thought! Like the giraffe, Plankton's "lab," or the close up of Butterfly Wormy
lmfao such perfect timing

The only thing that I would edit to make this slightly more satisfying to my tastes would have been when the ghouls were raising in the cemetery for one of them to be Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen and raised with his #1 hat

Honestly cannot fault you for this very reasonable request.

*takes out accursed sword and turns into king of the undead*
To be fair the lichking is not only the king of the undead, he is the king of the ice too
Now just waiting for Kil' Jaeden to show up and see how his favorite Lich King is doing
If we're gonna be honest, Arthas is very much the definition of "ajar"
the sword doesnt turn you into the lord of the damned, the Helm of domination does that
@@carlacaribe The fact that this makes the escalation even bigger just adds to it
Sylvanas: **removes the Helm of Domination from Bolvar's head**
Everyone: Bald! Bald! Bald!

"You are unfit to wear Neptune's crown!"

"Patrick, that's the ring of Sauron."
"Yes."

Celbrimbor: Brand him and make him one of your Army's leaders.
Patrick: 'Stares at Spongebob.' Yes
I love how worried Spongebob sounds when he says "that's the Frostmourne." It's like he knows the influence it can hold over people and is concerned Patrick is even considering picking it up.
I have a new headcanon that this Patrick went down the same path as Arthas.
Spongebob Bronzebeard: "Hold lad, there's an inscription on the dais. It's a warning. It says. "Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal. Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit." Oh, i should've known. The blade is cursed! Let's get the hell out of here!"
Patrick Menethil: "I would gladly bear any curse to save my homeland."
Muradin Squarepants: "Leave it be, Patrick. Forget this business and lead your men home."
Arthas Star: "Damn the men! Nothing shall prevent me from having my revenge, old friend. Not even you. Now, I call out to the spirits of this place. I will give anything or pay any price, if only you will help me save my people."
Headcanon? He literally stabs Spongebob onscreen
@@Mazaroth 'nah bro if I was evil I wouldn't say that my cursed blade was cursed on the label, obviously a scam mate, villain 101'

"The day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered... Patrick."
"Arthas was a spoiled child, playing with toys he could neither control nor understand. Come into the cold. I will show you the true power of the Frozen Throne." -Patrick
I was expecting at 2:10 for them to ask "can I take your order", and Patrick responds with "frostmourne hungers" 😂
Underrated comment. It needs more likes xD
He NEEDS to edit this in
I demand an extra edit for this
I was waiting for this line, and surprised it didn't happen
And to have Patrick go, with LK echo: I'll have a.....a......uh......uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The thought of Patrick possessing Frostmourne and becoming the Lich King is both ridiculously hilarious yet also so jaw dropping epic.
Patrick: Spongebob! Is it over?
Spongebob: At long last. No star rules forever, my friend.
Patrick: I see only jars before me.
Ghost spongebob: without their master command the ruthless undead will become an even greater threat there must always be a lich king. Highlord squidward: the wait of such a burden it must be mine for their is no other to... mr krabs: squidward. High lord squidward: krabs by all that is holy. Mr krabs: the dragon breath sealed my fate the world of the living no longer converts me place the crown on my head squidward. High lord squidward: no old friend. Mr krabs: do it squidward you and these brave heroes have your own destiny to fulfill let this last act of serves me mine. High lordsquidward: you will not be forgotten brother.

Can't believe a youtuber making a parody could defeat the entire corporation that made the source material in terms of quality. I just came for the meme, but this is on another level 😂
DUDE the shot of the krusty krab over the cliff was as cinematic as possible LOL
*Patrick showed us just exactly what he was capable of all along. All he needed was time to gather the strength.*
And then Spongebob just casually tanks it and Patrick needs to try something else.
Truly, he's an eldritch god that must be destroyed
And the Frostmourne...

This is my favorite RUclips video of the year.
This pays more respect to world of warcraft then shadowlands and bfa combined.
sad but true
Do you know Ner'zhul?
So did WotLK told you anything about Ner'zhul?
@@Aztonio no he doesn't exist anymore
@@addzay3135 So, the lich king, which won a war alone, by his own mental, created the most powerful army on Azeroth which destroyed kingdoms... He corrupted and mind controlled an human prince, then to attempt to recover a body, he wanted to use him, so he led his minion at the center of his influence, and then he just... Lost?
Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne was originally the end of Arthas' story, not Ner'zhul's...
There was absolutely no reason for Arthas to finally win the mind fight when it was the hardest, after he lost every single other one. At best they just merged, but even that woul've been a fanservice... And actually, WotLK did both because it's inconsistant within it's own expansion, ingame and the novel...
So WotLK spit on Ner'zhul because he just disapeared for no reason, or at best he then did completely idiot strategies, messing up everything he buildt for years by leading everyone against him at once, then explain that he wanted some few strong people by the price of his army and all his even stronger generals Anub'arak, Kel'thuzad... All these poor characters.
And Arthas was destroyed too because he was supposed to be mind control, but just became an idiot bad guy.
BC and WotLK where really the worst times of Warcraft... It's not my words, but Metzen's himself ; WoW was originally not more than a fanservice spinoff with no pretention or plans for the future, with cartoonish bad guys, etc. ... (To excuse him, he was working on StarCraft 2 xD )
At least, like Legion did for BC, Shadowlands can fix that ; explaining that Ner'zhul fought Legion influences but also the Jailer, but it made him very upset so he used, Arthas as a weakness, to lead the lich king to mes up his plans. That would mean Arthas was still himself behind all of that, and his soul is actually still the same as the Arthas we knew at the end of Warcraft 3.
Shadowlands already made the best treatment for Ner'zhul since Warcraft 3, and Arthas is surely the next one to be *saved* in every meanings. I'm not very worried, they know how to do things properly nowadays... Well, most of the time, but anyway it will never be as bad than before, like for KTZ.
A funny thing is that one of the very few WC3 character WoW never had the occasion to mess up is Sylvanas. In Vanilla she was the same monster, then absent until Cata (almost nothing during wotlk anyway), and at this point they imagined one of the base of Shadowlands, with her suicide, the meeting with Val'kyrs, all these tools to help her not falling into the hell for eternity... Shadowlands build around that and finally let her approach her goal without killing her for nothing (well, she also died for nothing like many others, but she was the only one who had the power to resurrect xD )
When a parody gives more respect to the source material than the actual creators.
If only we knew how bad things would get
Spongebob or WoW?
@@runedoom yes

@@johnrommelramirez7534 Squidward only told us that the lich king died. And that Eugene Krabs died with him
Song gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.
Best song to use as a DM when you REALLY feel like fundamentally unnerving your party
one of the best 2 songs of the entire game, the other being the ashbringer one.
Ner'zhul: "We are one, Patrick. Together, we are the Lich King. No more Ner'zhul, no more Patrick-only this one glorious being. With my knowledge, we can-"
Patrick: *Stabs Ner'zhul with Frostmourne* "No, this is Patrick!"
epic
Looks like a lost episode you'd find in the dark web
Great Leader!
Ah, so that's how Kim Jong-un watches Spongebob.
@@stefanvla Dear Reader!
Very dark! lol
Patrick as the lich in this animation format makes him look like one of those toontown villians
Frost is a peculiar thing.
It cares not for kindness or good.
It is decay manifest, the slowing of life and ultimately its silent last breath.
Even Patrick himself cannot resist it.
Bikini bottom now knows the name, frozenstar, devourer of souls (and krabby patties)
Decay? Prevents decay
I like frost. So cold and hard and strong.
Is this from Spawn?

seeing content like this is my reward for being alive this long
Okay. The editing is phenomenal
LMAO Sylvanas part really got me. Also thanks for letting me experience again for the first time the epicness of Lich King and WOTLK cinematics.

THIS IS 3 YEARS OLD AND STILL ONE OF THE BEST EDITED VIDEOS I HAVE EVER SEEN
The amount of effort that must have gone into this really shows how spongebob and nerd culture go hand in hand in a way that is truly beautiful.
Bravo good sir. Bravo
Seeing him walk around in the full armor and helmet, I keep thinking it's Arthas. So I have to keep reminding myself: NO, THIS IS PATRICK!
"Is this Arthas?" NO, This is Patrick!
the nostalgia hits hard with that soundtrack... i would go back in time to experience WoW again in those days
Dude this was way more epic than it needed to be.
And I thank you for it.
That music.. those images.. They bring back memories. This was the top of W3 and Wow.
Some of the best time of my life, was unlocking pieces of Arthas, and finally defeating him in Ice Crown Citadel.
Some of the best story, design, music. Good times.

"Patrick that's Tupsimati"
*End of FFXIV 1.0 cutscene plays out*
But even with the might of Frostmourne and Death itself at his command, Patrick still could not open the jar.
"Patrick? What are you doing?!"
"Succeeding you, Spongebob."
The only thing it's missing is Terenas saying "My son, the day you we're born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name... Patrick"
No it should go “Arthas” then in the distance Patrick says “NO THIS IS PATRICK”
You're just getting better and better at this...
