@@matti.8465 that also explains why the "pedestrian" cameraman that got hit by spongebob was so small. If this shrinking tech is regularly available it would make sense for them to use it to make recording easier, seeing as navigating through Bikini Bottom when you are the size of a regular person (going off of David Hasselhoffs size) would make recording from some of the angles we see physically impossible

Okay but you can't convince me that Sandy *hasn't* grown attached to Bikini Bottom and the people she knows there. I really would love a story like that where she came for the job, but stayed because she actually cares about SpongeBob and co. now
They did that episode already. Sandy was homesick wanted to go back to Texas. Patrick made fun of Texas. Sandy stopped leaving to beat their @$$ and found out that they made her a party to show they love her. So she stayed.
@@pennyproud1621or the "Chimps ahoy"! episode when Sandy thought she will be forced to live Bikini Bottom and she sang a song about how she will miss the town and her friends.
I believe so too. Not to mention, even she is not privy to the lengths they'll go. Remember, she panicked when she saw the gorilla and called him a real gorilla, despite the fact that the gorilla isn't even wearing a helmet, so either she's a great actress or she genuinely didn't see it coming..
6:11 to add to that, the episode was about SpongeBob not wanting to leave his house, and Patrick and Sandy were running out of time and ideas to persuade SpongeBob to get out, so that must’ve been why they felt the need to meddle with the show directly
Check out season 5 episode “spy buddies”. I think it supports your theory about sandy being a spy. SpongeBob and patrick come to sandy for help with some spy gear. She says a bunch of things like oh what would a spy need, then proceeds to pull out various spying items. Then when they ask to borrow them she says “oh no I’d never let you touch these.” PROVING THAT THEY ARE HERS AND SHE USES THEM SO MUCH THEY ARE PRECIOUS
ok but can we talk about that one time squidward said “why does every 11 minutes of my life have to be misery” like bruh *he knows how long the show is going ofc he knows he’s on tv*
I'm convinced that Squidward is aware of the television show, too. In two episodes, he made a reference to the lenth of most episodes (11 minutes) and the reason how he can afford a lot of expensive things despite being poorly paid by Mr. Krabs is because he is already well paid by the production team, which also explains why Spongebob and Patrick aren't living in complete poverty either. That could also be an explanation why Squidward didn't move away, since he has been payed by the production team to stay in Bikini Bottom for entertainment and every attempt of him moving away was sabotaged by the plot
i honestly thought this "theory" was just common knowledge. the first episode opens in such a way that anyone who has seen a nature documentary should recognize what trope they're playing on. still a good video.

What about the episode “Band Geeks” where they literally perform in front of a bunch of humans and Spongebob says “These are some ugly looking fish?” And the episode “The Fish Bowl” is literally about Sandy actively trying to spy on Spongebob and Patrick.
Answer for Band Geeks: It was filmed during a massive sports event like the Super Bowl so more people watch the show. As for The Fish Bowl, I have no idea
There are a few more minor things to note. Spongebob is aware of the French Narrator but not that he’s part of a show. This is shown in Spongebob’s Birthday Blowout while exiting the ocean. Another thing to note is that while stuff like time cards seem to be done in editing, they’re also something the characters can do as shown in Wet Painters where Patrick holds up a “three hours later” sign and says “Can you hurry up? I’m running out of time cards.” So they appear to be a normal thing. More proof of this is how Spongebob does one while mimicking the narrator in Mimic Madness. As for the point of their existence in the fish world, I have no idea. But Patrick doing this for no reason as Spongebob is nervous to paint definitely fits Patrick’s stupidity. Patrick has been shown to be dumb many times, so I doubt he’s in on the show thing. But, if you’ve seen The Theorizer, he theorized that Patrick used to be smart but unplugged his brain like it’s seen in Patrick Smartpants. So, what if Patrick found out his life was staged and couldn’t live with that so he unplugged his brain? Hell, the show runners could’ve unplugged it to prevent others from finding out!

In the Sandy movie on Netflix the dad said that “ain’t that the town you were spying on” sandy tried to cover it up you were right all along Alex! Edit: oh crap Sandy is innocent
Not so fun fact: In 1951, people from the U.S tested atomic bombs in Bikini Atoll, the location of 23 U.S. nuclear weapons tests during the Cold War era. So the nuke released radioactive waste and that’s how the people of Bikini Bottom could talk.
French Narrator Guy is based on Jacques Cousteau, who's been criticized for faking/staging documentary footage and animal cruelty. There's a reason they never gave him a name--they want you to know they're ripping on a specific person.
@@matiesponja I'm not sure, but when you search Jacques Cousteau spongebob you see a page of the wiki about the french narrator, saying Jacques was one of his idols.
Actually they kinda did he’s then French narrator in an episode they show him sandy shows them when they turn into regular fish and he helps he is a French scuba diver who met sandy on land and became friends his name is Dan Southworth it’s also rumored that Patrick knows him because Patrick had the time cards ince saying he ran out so can you hurry up.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the narrator sounds like a nature documentary person because the history of the creator of SpongeBob Stephen Hillenberg enjoyed teaching kids about fish and animals and even used SpongeBob originally as sponge boy to teach kids about some things related to fish before SpongeBob as a little comic strip
Frenchy the Narrator is a scuba diver. He is in one modern episode where all of the characters become beasts by a moon. Sandy even says, hello Frenchy. And he is literally watching them and lists off what kind of animal they are and how natural enemies and stuff, not unlike a documentary narrator. Edit: It was mentioned by the end.
*To add on to the Mermaid Man theory:* It was shown in the episode that when Spongebob had the belt, nobody *knew* how to make everyone big again once they were shrunken down originally. Not even Barnacle Boy or Mermaid Man told spongebob how to change themselves back to the way they were. It's possible that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy *didn't know* this either, shrinking themselves down by mistake. With no way to call for help or how to reverse it, they chose to live in Bikini Bottom.
@@RetroLikeDragn their backstory could've been a lie in order to keep their cover. I dont recall everything about the origin story but I think most of that was some sort of lost episode that wasn't normally aired, or at least not aired on underwater TV to hide their identities. take this with salt since i havent seen that episode in a while
I'm surprised he doesn't mention How Patchy the Pirate waits for the TV show to come on and blatantly talks about SpongeBob's life as a show in the og movie, Atlantis episode, and in both the Christmas specials.
But he does acknowledge Patchy in his final SpongeBob theory, that one being the Time Traveling Ghost Pirate theory, in which Patchy is a major part of the theory..
I can't believe how well this explains Spongebob and Patrick being real, and how it explains how Patchy the Pirate knows of the television show, but for some reason he seems like one of the few to realize that it's actually happening, while others call it a cartoon. Interesting.
A few points for sandy • she probably taught SpongeBob Karate for self defense in the event she cannot save him • she denies SpongeBob and Patrick from going to the moon with her on the rocket because they have to stay for the show • sandy occasionally becomes homesick and will either need to take breaks or will need a boost to keep going with the show • she never intentionally lets anyone follow her or come with her when she leaves bikini bottom • probably more things it's midnight and I'm operating on half a brain cell
The fact that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy can breathe underwater proves that they somehow have superpowers, as no other Human in the Show breathes underwater. Even Kenny the Cat (a one off Character from later Seasons), who allegedly held his breath for "years" still uses an Oxygen Tank when no one is looking. And if the Humans invented the "breath underwater" Technology, they definitly would've given it to Sandy as well. And don't come to me with Pearl as a counter argument. We don't see her everyday Life. And she is a Sperm Whale, who can hold their Breath for over 100 Minutes at a time. She could easily sometimes swim to take some fresh air or even hold her breath for much MUCH longer (toon physics and all that, Mr Krabs can breath Air as an underwater Crab after all).
you're so intelligent at connecting everything, you should also solve real world mysteries that appear in sanskrit text which talk about 9 planets, its called navagraha, earth is not included maybe its because earth is... 🤯🤯🤯
Also, in The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water, there’s a very brief part in which a baby in a stroller says “Spongebob!” How could that child within the Spongebob universe know the name of this random sea creature? Because Spongebob is the protagonist of this documentary/reality TV series.
Patchy the pirate is head of the Spongebob fanclub in universe. They've always acknowledged the show within a show, but we were too blind to realize it.
13:00 It's implied something about being in Bikini Bottom helps her develop new ideas, such as Underwater physics. This could work into the theory pretty well, though, as the reason she's down there could be to learn from the fish directly.
I love how as a kid you see all of this and either dont pay to much attention to it or you think Is weird just for being weird and now as adults we can put each piece of the puzzle and get our minds blown
It's mostly because internet video recording wasn't that developed back then, it was all aired on tv so you could miss a chapter or two, plus the order is a mess.
@@harrishromero6447 the new seasons are made by a different person. The original creator passed away a few years ago. You can tell the difference in the episodes. Now it’s all idiotic comedy that really doesn’t make sense.
Hang on… The version of Old Man Jenkins from when Mr Krabs and Plankton were friends was food poisoned, so maybe it made him crazy. And all the different versions of Old Man Jenkins are his hallucinations that we can see as a side effect of his craziness. This also explains why the other characters are so oblivious to this.
Also in the episode "club spongebob", squidward says,"why is every 11 minutes of my life filled with misery", the average spongebob episode is 11 minutes long
also explains how every time a building gets destroyed in the show its back and intact next scene. The humans must have replacements ready for when it happens
Can we talk about how there are like...4 different Old Man Jenkins?? Like Old Man Jenkins is such a beloved character to the humans that everytime he dies the camera crew just replaces him LOL
What's really crazy is how this theory can be used to explain how Patchy the Pirate exists in the spongebob world and calls himself the show's number one fan at the same time
I think there's a lot more to the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy theory. In season 3 episode 5, Mermaid Man says near the end of the episode that "We've been shrinking for years" and Barnacle Boy responds by saying "But this is ridiculous". This is after Spongebob uses the shrink ray on them I think there is some other factor that makes them grow smaller, not the shrink ray and this could be tied to Mermaid man's PTSD and dementia.
There was also an episode where Spongebob is afraid of heights and can't get off of the roof of the Krusty Krab, IT STARTS TO RAIN AND SOME RANDOM CITISEN SAYS: "Huh, rain? But we're underwater!"
Me too, i MYSELF was thinking: what was that episode called again... YET ANY ONE WHO PASSED MY COMMENT JUST REPLIED WITH YES! Now where did i leave that Dum hat from Among Us 4 Android, IOS, PC & Nintendo Switch?
In the Season 3 episode "Clams", there's a part where they're on a ship while SpongeBob is reeling in Mr. Krabs's millionth dollar. Jaws-esque music starts playing, and Mr. Krabs opens a doorway on the ship which reveals an entire (live action) symphony orchestra performing the background music.
@@twohundred8794 no your thinking of the episode where he goes into Mr. Krabs dream and he's reeling in the mighty dollar lol this is the one where he takes squidward and SpongeBob on a clam fishing trip and loses his millionth dollar.
11:47 that goes together soo well with skin theory and the ''actors'' that could be using costumes and why there are costumes and stuff and disgues people so it makes more sense than just an act for entertainment like its actually underwater not like THCC says
That could also explain why Sandy was so worried when she couldn't find Spongebob in the episode where she was getting ready for hibernation. I mean, she had the entire town looking for him.
I find it funny that in both of the situations where the filmmakers run away after getting caught, it's SpongeBob who calls them out. You know, the flagship main character of the show? You can really see the fear in those fishes and the gorilla and horse after being caught by the main character himself, imagine that. If their reaction to being called out by the main character questioning his reality isn't proof enough that the television theory is canon, I don't know what is..
The french scientist who talk with Sandy is a reference to the famous french explorer and marine biologist Jean-Yves Cousteau. That’s an interesting point because in his life he really was studying marine creatures so that’s go right for this theory.
Damn right at the start “secret group of puppet masters” showing black tentacles. I didn’t realize the ARG was planned even this far back. I assumed the success of the first couple SpongeBob theories gave him the idea to use the new audience for his story.
Could this theory also explain why so many fishes in this series have fake appendages and skins? For those unaware, I'm talking about Doug Woolever's SpongeBob Skin Theory. So many characters in this show are shown wearing fake skins. Squidward was once asked by SpongeBob to wear a realistic looking lobster costume that looks horrifying. Heck, in episode 'Imitation Krabs', SpongeBob unintentionally unmasks a random customer trying to reveal Plankton, and the shocked customer says 'Everyone at the head enhancement clinic said nobody would notice' before running away crying. He literally says clinic. Not costume shop, not cosplay, but clinic. He even specifies head enhancement. And seriously, his real head looks different from the rest of his body. In my opinion, I believe that the television producers have actually set up a complex costume shop/hospital for Bikini Bottom as another method of keeping the show relevant without our favorite porous sponge and company's knowledge. And why not? It's a good running gag, just one that has some dark implications depending on who you ask..
I'm convinced that there are indeed secret cameras in SPSB. In the episode, where Spongebob and Mr. Krabs planned to kill the health inspector, the reporter knew that Spongebob and Mr. Krabs were laughing, although they were hiding in the kitchen and nobody could've heard them laughing or more of laughing at cost of other people
Another thing to add, the "gorilla" wears a patrick costume while interacting with others. They (the humans) probably thought that patrick wasn't there, so they found an actor to replace him for the time being. So that means, any fish in the spongebob universe could be replaced with a human in a fish suit. That could also explain the flanderization of certain characters in the recent seasons.
One other thing that I feel would have been worth mentioning is that Patchy the Pirate is a fan of the TV show, while also existing in the same world as the show.
You forgot the one thing that really proves this. Patchy! He’s always been the president of the Spongebob fan club! The fact there’s a Spongebob fan club in universe proves this
What about "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout" in the episode, SpongeBob saw the French Narrator and even called him Frenchy and called him Sandy's friend, so i felt like SpongeBob knew about the tv show, and SpongeBob literally broke the 4th wall in the very first episode *DUN DUN DUN* 😂
Well I'm pretty sure the dancing anemone was at least somewhat meant to portray porn in a child friendly way. Just look at the excitement in SpongeBob's eyes and his reaction when he's caught by Gary. So the anemone wasn't human obviously, but it doesn't necessarily contradict TV theory either
Oh mah gawd. Mermaid man having a shrinking belt makes so much more sense now. They used it on themselves
oh my gawd ur so smart! how did i not think of that..
@@atomic5989 Maybe, maybe not, but how would you know? You don't know me in real life therefore have no reason to say I'm not smart. Just know that if you respond and I don't answer, I'm not ignoring you, I just don't wanna get myself into a whole situation. Have a good day/night.

In the Sandy movie on Netflix the dad said that “ain’t that the town you were spying on” sandy tried to cover it up you were right all along Alex!
Edit: oh crap Sandy is innocent
The fish doctor sounds like the scientist
“It’s just a kids show”
This dude : “NOT TO ME”
It secretly holds FBI top secret information
Why did u tickle me
He took that personally
Not so fun fact: In 1951, people from the U.S tested atomic bombs in Bikini Atoll, the location of 23 U.S. nuclear weapons tests during the Cold War era. So the nuke released radioactive waste and that’s how the people of Bikini Bottom could talk.
@@cherrypalacio625 this is just a kids Show
French Narrator Guy is based on Jacques Cousteau, who's been criticized for faking/staging documentary footage and animal cruelty. There's a reason they never gave him a name--they want you to know they're ripping on a specific person.
He does have a name his name is frenchy you get to see him in season 10 i think he is sandys friend
If i'm not mistaken Jacques Cousteau was actually one of Hillenburg's idols
@@LucasTF wait what? Sauce pls
@@matiesponja I'm not sure, but when you search Jacques Cousteau spongebob you see a page of the wiki about the french narrator, saying Jacques was one of his idols.
Actually they kinda did he’s then French narrator in an episode they show him sandy shows them when they turn into regular fish and he helps he is a French scuba diver who met sandy on land and became friends his name is Dan Southworth it’s also rumored that Patrick knows him because Patrick had the time cards ince saying he ran out so can you hurry up.
Who's here after the new SpongeBob movie got leaked?
I have a playlist just for these conspiracies
Same xD
I wouldn’t be surprised if the narrator sounds like a nature documentary person because the history of the creator of SpongeBob Stephen Hillenberg enjoyed teaching kids about fish and animals and even used SpongeBob originally as sponge boy to teach kids about some things related to fish before SpongeBob as a little comic strip
That makes sense.there is Frenchy
That’s is true he was a marine educator
Actually the name was bob the sponge. Here's a link to know more ruclips.net/video/6b1JUUg9YM4/видео.html
Frenchy the Narrator is a scuba diver. He is in one modern episode where all of the characters become beasts by a moon. Sandy even says, hello Frenchy. And he is literally watching them and lists off what kind of animal they are and how natural enemies and stuff, not unlike a documentary narrator. Edit: It was mentioned by the end.
The weirdest thing about Frenchy ls that he... He might actually have a crush on Sandy...
*To add on to the Mermaid Man theory:* It was shown in the episode that when Spongebob had the belt, nobody *knew* how to make everyone big again once they were shrunken down originally. Not even Barnacle Boy or Mermaid Man told spongebob how to change themselves back to the way they were. It's possible that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy *didn't know* this either, shrinking themselves down by mistake. With no way to call for help or how to reverse it, they chose to live in Bikini Bottom.
Underrated
😳😳😳😳 this dude spittin
But they have a back story
@@RetroLikeDragn their backstory could've been a lie in order to keep their cover. I dont recall everything about the origin story but I think most of that was some sort of lost episode that wasn't normally aired, or at least not aired on underwater TV to hide their identities.
take this with salt since i havent seen that episode in a while
ty 4 using periods.
I'm surprised he doesn't mention How Patchy the Pirate waits for the TV show to come on and blatantly talks about SpongeBob's life as a show in the og movie, Atlantis episode, and in both the Christmas specials.
But he does acknowledge Patchy in his final SpongeBob theory, that one being the Time Traveling Ghost Pirate theory, in which Patchy is a major part of the theory..
Man, thank you for providing all these theories. It makes my questions go answered.
I can't believe how well this explains Spongebob and Patrick being real, and how it explains how Patchy the Pirate knows of the television show, but for some reason he seems like one of the few to realize that it's actually happening, while others call it a cartoon. Interesting.
what if patchy is a producer on the show and just dresses up like a pirate and a fan? Why else would he get fanmail to spongebob?
Spongebobs a natzi
Patchy,hands,frenchy,and David hasselhoff are all paid actors
And the times where spongebob never shows up to meet patchy also adds to the part where sponge is unaware of this show existing
A few points for sandy
• she probably taught SpongeBob Karate for self defense in the event she cannot save him
• she denies SpongeBob and Patrick from going to the moon with her on the rocket because they have to stay for the show
• sandy occasionally becomes homesick and will either need to take breaks or will need a boost to keep going with the show
• she never intentionally lets anyone follow her or come with her when she leaves bikini bottom
• probably more things it's midnight and I'm operating on half a brain cell
Sandy literally
calls the Narrator.
Oh.
Well there is an episode where sandy camps out with pearl, mrs puff, etc. outside of bikini bottom
the reason y she's so good at karate is because as a secret spy, she needs to now some form of martial arts for defense purposes
Also in kamp coral she told past her but time travel
Did someone else laugh at Alex mentioning Sandy nonchalantly while calling Mr. Krabs 'cheat lying bastard' XD
I love that Sandy calls French Narrator 'Frenchie' and then he's revealed to be wearing a toque(hat)
The fact that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy can breathe underwater proves that they somehow have superpowers, as no other Human in the Show breathes underwater. Even Kenny the Cat (a one off Character from later Seasons), who allegedly held his breath for "years" still uses an Oxygen Tank when no one is looking. And if the Humans invented the "breath underwater" Technology, they definitly would've given it to Sandy as well.
And don't come to me with Pearl as a counter argument. We don't see her everyday Life. And she is a Sperm Whale, who can hold their Breath for over 100 Minutes at a time. She could easily sometimes swim to take some fresh air or even hold her breath for much MUCH longer (toon physics and all that, Mr Krabs can breath Air as an underwater Crab after all).

Childhood: ruined
Mind: satisfied

Also, in The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water, there’s a very brief part in which a baby in a stroller says “Spongebob!” How could that child within the Spongebob universe know the name of this random sea creature? Because Spongebob is the protagonist of this documentary/reality TV series.
trueee
Holy crap, that’s so true
Holy shit the evidence keeps stacking up
Patchy the pirate is head of the Spongebob fanclub in universe. They've always acknowledged the show within a show, but we were too blind to realize it.
Yes
9:15 wow I’m impressed that you took the time to put in every character from the show in this scene
13:00 It's implied something about being in Bikini Bottom helps her develop new ideas, such as Underwater physics. This could work into the theory pretty well, though, as the reason she's down there could be to learn from the fish directly.
I love how as a kid you see all of this and either dont pay to much attention to it or you think Is weird just for being weird and now as adults we can put each piece of the puzzle and get our minds blown
It's mostly because internet video recording wasn't that developed back then, it was all aired on tv so you could miss a chapter or two, plus the order is a mess.
@@matiassu5604 Ur right
I hate Alex bale looking old season that they have more evidence in the new series that could debunked
@@harrishromero6447 the new seasons are made by a different person. The original creator passed away a few years ago. You can tell the difference in the episodes. Now it’s all idiotic comedy that really doesn’t make sense.
@@mara_q9979 remember the time that in 20year for 5 minute because of the inspectors after the break SpongeBob break another 20 year mean it canon
This would also explain why old man Gankins is so crazy he probably knows a bit of the truth and he eventually went crazy knowing they are watching
Uh-
BIG FAXX
Awe sweet a schitzo meltdown
And to add to this they keep trying to replace him from reveling the truth but they always figure out one way or another they always figure out.
Not really. He could be crazy for a lot of reasons
Hang on… The version of Old Man Jenkins from when Mr Krabs and Plankton were friends was food poisoned, so maybe it made him crazy. And all the different versions of Old Man Jenkins are his hallucinations that we can see as a side effect of his craziness. This also explains why the other characters are so oblivious to this.
This guy predicted the plot of Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie three years in advanced.
This series is so good that this is my 20th time ive rewatched this series!
Also in the episode "club spongebob", squidward says,"why is every 11 minutes of my life filled with misery", the average spongebob episode is 11 minutes long
He Destroyed the 4 wall lol but idk but that’s just a theory

@@TTGPetWussy my brother showed me that and I view everything different now .-.
also explains how every time a building gets destroyed in the show its back and intact next scene. The humans must have replacements ready for when it happens
Out of the three spongebob theories I've seen from your channel, this one is the best and the one that's makes the most sense in my opinion
This is probably why Sandy is the one to introduce Christmas. They wanted a Christmas special for the humans 🤯

@@lenerxs You clearly don't know what addicted means
This is proved more in the newest spongebob movie where someone from Sandy's family says "isn't that the town you've been spying on?"
Yup this sounds important for my Physics test tmr…
Can we talk about how there are like...4 different Old Man Jenkins?? Like Old Man Jenkins is such a beloved character to the humans that everytime he dies the camera crew just replaces him LOL
What's really crazy is how this theory can be used to explain how Patchy the Pirate exists in the spongebob world and calls himself the show's number one fan at the same time
and the set on that episode with P!nk. Where she sang scurvy
@AnimEmber as is the narrator, and the hot sauce lol
Who’s here and wants another episode to drop so they are just waiting
This even got me confused as a kid.
“I believe the gorilla and horse are humans in costumes”
Wow, nice job, we had no idea Sherlock.
I think there's a lot more to the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy theory. In season 3 episode 5, Mermaid Man says near the end of the episode that "We've been shrinking for years" and Barnacle Boy responds by saying "But this is ridiculous". This is after Spongebob uses the shrink ray on them I think there is some other factor that makes them grow smaller, not the shrink ray and this could be tied to Mermaid man's PTSD and dementia.
There was also an episode where Spongebob is afraid of heights and can't get off of the roof of the Krusty Krab, IT STARTS TO RAIN AND SOME RANDOM CITISEN SAYS: "Huh, rain? But we're underwater!"
Yes
Yes
yup
I was expecting more to be said in the comments but nope....
Me too, i MYSELF was thinking: what was that episode called again... YET ANY ONE WHO PASSED MY COMMENT JUST REPLIED WITH YES! Now where did i leave that Dum hat from Among Us 4 Android, IOS, PC & Nintendo Switch?
In the Season 3 episode "Clams", there's a part where they're on a ship while SpongeBob is reeling in Mr. Krabs's millionth dollar. Jaws-esque music starts playing, and Mr. Krabs opens a doorway on the ship which reveals an entire (live action) symphony orchestra performing the background music.
He even talks abuut how the music they play is what dauses the Giant clam to come and how "Every sailor knows that music means death."
@@linhero797 That's a 4/4 ostinato in D minor, every sailor knows that means DEATH!!!
And?
Wasn't that a dream episode? I'm not exactly sure but I think that's the episode where spongebob goes into everyone's dreams
@@twohundred8794 no your thinking of the episode where he goes into Mr. Krabs dream and he's reeling in the mighty dollar lol this is the one where he takes squidward and SpongeBob on a clam fishing trip and loses his millionth dollar.
You know whats crazy the new Spongebob movie proves all of this
11:47 that goes together soo well with skin theory and the ''actors'' that could be using costumes and why there are costumes and stuff and disgues people so it makes more sense than just an act for entertainment like its actually underwater not like THCC says
This would also explain Patchy the Pirate "watching" episodes of SpongeBob and running a fan club
Yes
And in big birthday blowout when patchy sends a present with the tag saying “from your biggest fan” and then spongebob goes “I have a fan?”
You do realize he is the only person in the fan club so its just patchy the pirate watching spongebob
@@silverheat3995 The idea that the Spongebob show isn't actually that popular in-universe is genuinely funny.
And he strongly believes Spongebob is real
That could also explain why Sandy was so worried when she couldn't find Spongebob in the episode where she was getting ready for hibernation. I mean, she had the entire town looking for him.
That was scary
Its like the Truman show!
Why was this not explained before? She's his friend.
Why would she be more worried though?
Ah, nevermind. I hadn’t got to that part of the video yet lol
I find it funny that in both of the situations where the filmmakers run away after getting caught, it's SpongeBob who calls them out. You know, the flagship main character of the show? You can really see the fear in those fishes and the gorilla and horse after being caught by the main character himself, imagine that. If their reaction to being called out by the main character questioning his reality isn't proof enough that the television theory is canon, I don't know what is..
I love how he predicted the one sponge bob movie
The french scientist who talk with Sandy is a reference to the famous french explorer and marine biologist Jean-Yves Cousteau. That’s an interesting point because in his life he really was studying marine creatures so that’s go right for this theory.
@Alex Bale
@@mathispitteloud558 and was the Cyclops in the sponge out of water movie
1:54 He seems to know about that already.
Jacques. Not Jean.
And the creator of the show if im not mistaken was a Marine biologist too, so that adds to the theory!
I can’t believe this isn’t the skin theory guy
@@tbd7898 to some degree, yeah
I can’t believe you guys haven’t realized that skin theory is just an hour long shitpost

Oh yeah it's not him.
i thought it was at first too, lmao. Skin theory was kinda wack tho
i love how at least some point in the video he freaks out
Damn right at the start “secret group of puppet masters” showing black tentacles. I didn’t realize the ARG was planned even this far back. I assumed the success of the first couple SpongeBob theories gave him the idea to use the new audience for his story.
Fun fact: caillou is a book and the narrator is a grandmother reading the book to her grand children

the worst part is we never get to ask hillenburg if this is correct
😞

R.I.p
We can still ask other members, but still RIP
Could this theory also explain why so many fishes in this series have fake appendages and skins? For those unaware, I'm talking about Doug Woolever's SpongeBob Skin Theory. So many characters in this show are shown wearing fake skins. Squidward was once asked by SpongeBob to wear a realistic looking lobster costume that looks horrifying. Heck, in episode 'Imitation Krabs', SpongeBob unintentionally unmasks a random customer trying to reveal Plankton, and the shocked customer says 'Everyone at the head enhancement clinic said nobody would notice' before running away crying. He literally says clinic. Not costume shop, not cosplay, but clinic. He even specifies head enhancement. And seriously, his real head looks different from the rest of his body. In my opinion, I believe that the television producers have actually set up a complex costume shop/hospital for Bikini Bottom as another method of keeping the show relevant without our favorite porous sponge and company's knowledge. And why not? It's a good running gag, just one that has some dark implications depending on who you ask..
TELEVISION THEORY ON SANDY'S PART IS CONFIRMED-
The gorilla episode actually scared the jesus out of me as a kid

True
And I was scared of the butterfly episode
I need more SpongeBob conspiracies ASAP!! I'm addicted..
YUH
Literally all I’m watching is your videos and his videos
REBOUND I LOVE YOU
Oh look, a checkmark
Lol Same
Sady spying on Bikini bottom was confirmed by the movie
I'm convinced that there are indeed secret cameras in SPSB. In the episode, where Spongebob and Mr. Krabs planned to kill the health inspector, the reporter knew that Spongebob and Mr. Krabs were laughing, although they were hiding in the kitchen and nobody could've heard them laughing or more of laughing at cost of other people
Another thing to add, the "gorilla" wears a patrick costume while interacting with others.
They (the humans) probably thought that patrick wasn't there, so they found an actor to replace him for the time being.
So that means, any fish in the spongebob universe could be replaced with a human in a fish suit.
That could also explain the flanderization of certain characters in the recent seasons.
Oh my god did Patrick get black bagged

One other thing that I feel would have been worth mentioning is that Patchy the Pirate is a fan of the TV show, while also existing in the same world as the show.
Yesss
It could be a thing tv shows do like “this show shows a fan club wink wink nudge nudge make your own fan club today!”
As a kid I was always so confused about that lol
The fact that SpongeBob and Patrick were in the Super Bowl only proves this theory even more
You forgot the one thing that really proves this. Patchy! He’s always been the president of the Spongebob fan club! The fact there’s a Spongebob fan club in universe proves this

What about "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout" in the episode, SpongeBob saw the French Narrator and even called him Frenchy and called him Sandy's friend, so i felt like SpongeBob knew about the tv show, and SpongeBob literally broke the 4th wall in the very first episode

“The only time we see live action characters is when they are humans”
Does... does this mean the dancing anemone was a human? 😳
Underrated

"GARY!!"
Yes it was just highly edited and modified cgi. Quite impressive they were able to afford it back then.
Well I'm pretty sure the dancing anemone was at least somewhat meant to portray porn in a child friendly way. Just look at the excitement in SpongeBob's eyes and his reaction when he's caught by Gary.
So the anemone wasn't human obviously, but it doesn't necessarily contradict TV theory either
