Thank you so much for watching, subscribe for more rock video essays :D
You’re not just a boulder, *sniff*, you’re a rock.
It's Iraq!!
Level 1 rock
I was here for a deep dive into Spongebob, did not realize I would be curing my midlife crisis
NEED FURNITUREEEEE
Curing is a tough word... But this works.
The clip of SpongeBob saying “I’m… not… letting… go!!! With the piano in the background was where I broke down in tears while doing my dishes.
Dude the section explaining "Stability & Meaning" conceptualized a struggle I've felt for a long time, I've been described in the past as "bohemian" and "lazy" by family and it's really hurt my feelings. My motivation is different from a lot of the people in my life, and I need to remember and respect that and not compare myself to those chasing money and status. Both paths are valid, thank you for helping me see it this way.
I'm pretty sure this video found me just as I started experiencing quarter life crisis. Really a godsend, thanks Mr rock. You rock.
right there with you, some of the things he said really hit hard
same bro shitgot me feeling introspective
It seems that a lot of my favorite philosophical analysis videos are about spongebob in some way. I've been in a very low point in my life, and I kind of needed this. Especially that reminder where getting better isn't linear, and how sometimes we have to be reminded of things over and over, due to how we can let fear make us spiral out of control. I suppose that's why I like spongebob is that it doesn't sugarcoat anything, while also trying to laugh in the wake of tragedy in order to keep persisting. It's truly a sentiment to the power comedy can have
It's always the channels with 10-20k subs with the best videos
I have to say, I don't think I've ever watched a video essay that made me cry, but the end of this one absolutely did and they were happy tears. This made me feel a kind of hope for myself and humanity that no other piece of media ever has. This was a beautifully existential video and I'm so grateful that you made this, Lvl. 1 Rock. Instant subscribe. Thank you.
Not only was this entertaining with your film school background, it was very educational. As someone with a struggling mental health and a thriving interest in psychology this was a masterpiece. Not only did you reinforce pervious concepts I’ve learned while teaching me new ones, you did all with one of my favorite childhood tv shows. And it bettered me for it too. (Shoutout to meaning people with no stability, they just like me fr)
As someone who has always struggled with anxiety and is currently going through my quarter life crisis, this video was exactly what I needed right now. Entertaining and thought provoking. I'll be subscribing!
bro that "duh im stupid I like karate" edit was fuckin incredible
*green screen explosion effect*
I've never seen a video that held so many new perspectives to the problems of feeling "broken" and the nuances that are caused and that come with it. It's unimaginable that a video can just show up on my screen and mention the poor mental health days, the work time ruminations with the panic, unwanted, and the self pity and defeatism that comes afterwards. your mentioning of the build up of burden the longer you don't try to help yourself resonated with me and underlines my perceived importance of existing in spite of failure for the possibility of a better life.
All that being said, I couldn't help but recommend Disco Elysium as it resonates a familiar subtext.
I can’t believe I came for SpongeBob and left with more constructive mental health advice than I’ve probably ever gotten. I don’t know how you did that, but thanks. I already subbed to you when I saw your Bo Burnham video, so all I can give is a like.
You really outdid yourself on this one rock. Edits during the chapter transitions were sick. I love how you talk about how anxiety can be used for good rather than more stress. This is an absolute masterpiece and my favorite spongebob video essay ive seen
ok hearing you breakdown the errands episode is actually wild bc tbh Im pretty sure this is triggering my memory of my childhood pov on it, and I think I thought the point was that squidward HAS to worry about those things, bc theres no way to be sure/relax if he doesnt. And that is the consequence of him not being good/doing the right thing. and to this day I worry about worst case scenarios constantly, and feel like I gotta be perfect to relax
Glad I found your channel, your commentaries on I Think You Should Leave drew me in and it's interesting to see a well-researched and presented video on serious topics being explained through something as accessible as SpongeBob
Holy *dolphin and boat sounds* yes!!
In a time where everyone my age is going through some level of anxiety, I am really grateful I found this video that helps cut through the fat on our response to stress and anxiety, and even life itself. Thank you for making this video, truly, it's a great one.
Wow. This really changed my perspective on my own life and the accomplishments I keep chasing, and truely helped me find a way to get rid of my intrusive and negative thoughts. But I don’t know I’m just a lvl 1 rock enjoyer
Chapter 3 and 4 resonated with me heavily considering I’m actively working on overcoming intrusive thoughts and managing stress. Getting a better understanding of how the amygdala actually functions and how one’s actions towards experiences is the core influence of how stress is emitted is ironically mind blowing. Ironic because it seems so obvious but only actually works if you believe and know you are in control. This entire breakdown gave me more insight than I thought I had on my mental state. Thank you!
God DAMN what an art piece, I can’t wait for your shit to blow up man
30:46 that's a interesting point. helping your body understand your surrounding through actions is honestly something i don't think ive ever thought of. i think you just get conditioned to "thug it out" when your genuinely uncomfortable and need to find away to ground yourself in a situation.
THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FORRRRR!!!
This rock is wise far beyond his level. Chef’s kisses all around
I can’t wait to see your channel explode! This video is incredible. I’m going through a quarter life crisis as well, and this video has given me a whole new perspective. More people in our generation need to see this.
I adore this video! I'm so glad I subbed after your smiling friends vid. There's nowhere for this channel to go but up!
kind of insane how much this video genuinely helped me get through my anxieties, my crisis and catastrophies. truly inspiring work, man
Excellent, well researched and entertaining video
19:25 One thing I like about starting the video with the midlife crisis, is that the quarterlife crisis is often intrinsically linked to the midlife crisis.
By the time we're adolescents, we are witnessing our own parents, our own family members, dying, talking about death, talking about the time they've wasted with working or living in one house....
And I think it's clever to start with where it ends for one generation, which inadvertently starts the crisis of the next.
I think a movie like The Incredibles, a show like Breaking Bad, and a game like GTA V depicts the midlife crisis surprisingly well. That sense of taking everything you've earned for granted when you get to an older age, yearning for that meaning.
I don't think I have any points I can add, I just want to say that that ending was fucking beautiful, one of the most gut-wrenching tearjerker endings to a video I've seen
I love the spongebob style bleeping you do, not just in this video but in all of them
im shocked that even after 9 months, this video still doesnt have like... hundreds of thousands of views minimum. this was so good.
i've never considered subscribing to someone's patreon until now bc i don't have a job to earn money from, but the video was so good i seriously considered it for a split second. love the small sarcastic & funny details in the editing and script. best video essay i've ever watched, really relatable & enjoyable
This video is so good i forgot it was an hour long, more people need to see this
This hits me in the feels...Damn Rock...Your something.
I cannot say this video resonated with me on a personal level since I acutely *lack* stress responses
The few times where I actually felt stressed in the last couple of years were when I was nearly bankrupt and evicted and almost wasn't able to get my BA diploma
Both of those were purely paperwork deadline related and I didn't manage to be stressed about them despite knowing my livelihood depended on it
Back to the video, I never realized how crisis and catastrophe was a recurring theme of the show
The two episodes you mention both show the subject of catastrophic thoughts succumbing to them without any solution to it within the episode
I'm wondering whether there's an episode where the character succeeds in overcoming it, would've been a cool addition to this video
I have watched a lot of video essays from a lot of people. This is genuinely the most impactful video essay that I have ever watched. Thank you.
This is honestly such a masterfully crafted video and I think the way and style in which you delivered the message was really well done. From the clip choices and witty jokes sprinkled throughout, to the music and your well articulated writing, everything about this video was very enjoyable to watch and despite the one hour runtime, it never felt boring. I’m looking forward to seeing your next project!
I haven't finished but you weren't kidding when you said you have a background in filmmaking. Great editing so far!
great video, love both your short and long form vids
dude 55 minutes in, after already loving this, ya just hit me deep in the fuckin soul. excellent work. great editing, writing, and VO, Seriously pro-level.
This is hands down one of the best video's I have even seen. I have bought the Quaterlife book and I am lookign forward to buying the other two book once I am done with the first one.
I shared it with my loved ones. You rock dude!
This is an absolutely amazing video, well done man. This genuinely helped me begin my journey to become better at dealing with nerves.
That last chapter was genuinely beautiful omg
i had this in my watch later from since early this morning (1-2 AM) and it is 8:30 PM now that i have finished it and i really do wish i had done it sooner. excellent video, will definitely be returning for more in future
Thank you for this vido❤
Worth the wait
god this makes me want to make my own essays. this is the kind of quality every creator should strive to
Thank you lvl 1 rock, I too feel like I’ve been going through a quarter life crisis. I’ve touched on a handful of these themes in my own reflection, but watching a video like this with a sequential breakdown that builds out the themes, cited and sourced by professionals as well as the greatest cartoon show of all time really hit these ideas home for me. Man life is complicated and nuanced, and wow isn’t it incredible how much entertainment and value has been packed into SpongeBob that we can still look back at and use to help us out in all parts of our life. I will continue to reject cynicism and look to build a fulfilling life alongside others we get to share life with. Again thank you & looking forward to your future videos ❤
I’ve been waiting so long for this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥
This was so freaking good. The amount of effort put in to this video is so obvious. You deserve so many more views and subs my dude. Keep up the amazing work
Brilliant! What a contribution to open a conversation about mental health and how to take care of your brain and being.
This video means so much to me. I can’t word it, but it really does.
So fantastic, I’ll never view these episodes the same way again, and all these things you talked about - you explained so much that I never knew but make so much sense the moment I hear it. You’re also so brilliant at presenting it in an understandable and engaging manner. You deserve all the subscribers (:
I never thought of it that way
Best video I’ve seen on RUclips in a long time and I watch A LOT OF RUclips xD This is a work of art and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next Mr.Rock ❤
Dude. This video is so important. You did such a good fucking job on this and the message about the little dude is explained so perfectly for my anxiety addled mind. Thank you for creating this ❤❤❤
This video honestly... It was what i needed at this point... I hadn't really understood how i was feeling lately and *why* I've been feeling this way. Thanks, Rock
(Also, your production, voicing, scripting? All phenomenal. Keep it up, man)
I’ve been going through a lot recently, this video really hit me at the right time, thank you so much
This was a monumental video to watch. I can't imagine what it took to make. Thank you for sharing your wonderful and amazing knowledge and insight. I'm gonna be sending this to friends and my therapist.
Jesus this video went hard. Above and beyond stuff my guy thank you
Love the video. I hope it's not too late for it to blow up.
I figured this would be a good video essay but I did not expect to cry
Cool. I'm crying. Thank you, this was beautiful
as someone who never liked spongebob but has many friends who do... this helped me understand why and want to give it another chance. what a killer of an essay!
I just finished Exposure Therapy and yeah, it sucks starting out, but it greatly improved my PTSD symptoms.
Great video, i loved it
incredible video dude, extremely well researched and I loved the long form content. keep it up rock
Underrated video, should have a million views!!
mark my words, this channel is going to blow up and be revered in the same way channels like ahoy are
This video is probably one of the most genuinely helpful things ive ever seen. I broke down multiple times watching especially at the end. Im left with a lot to think about. Thank you for making this
I am so happy your channel got recommended to me that I had to leave this comment and sub
Checked out this video from the episode ranking one and I just have to say this is phenomenal and excellent work!
Thank you, rock 🙏🏻
This is literally brilliant & a much needed video for me
33:33 I feel so vindicated that I am not alone in being upset about a marathon from 18 fucking years ago off and on until this very day, please know that you are not alone and I have never felt more fucking seen
Idk Mr rocks videos are so good and have really impacted my life for the better. thank you for the amazing content
Great video and study on your research. I have been watching some of your videos and I’m glad I found your channel.
This video was so good, man. ❤
This was fantastic. I hope you do more of these ambitious videos.
This is a really incredible video man, thanks for making this. As a lifelong sponge fan, I found this entertaining, informative, and moving. Keep creating.
Saving to watch for later
Made me shed a single tear very beautiful video
How the hell does this not have way more views!? Great work Rock, this was incredible
WHY DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 373 VIEWS???
Was going through a anxiety ridden couple of weeks
Didnt expect that to be helped by a spongebob video
Thx rock
Wow this video made me cry and really think about things that I’ve gone through in life how does this not have more views
Absolutely amazing video… Extremely informative
This is one of the most legitimately insightful and informative videos I’ve watched. And for being based around SpongeBob SquarePants, that gets bonus points.
Sir this is too high quality for a RUclips video, please turn this into a real film. You're always so talented and always blow me out of the water with you videos (no pun intended). You're just awesome for real. Love you dude and I hope you keep going and gain the success you deserve
Did not expect to feel such emotions at the end there
this was amazing :) thankyou for sharing this
Thank you for making this!!! instant sub
This is fantastic. So well spoken and thoughtfully put together. Bravo, Rock.
thank you for this masterpiece of analysis
excellent selection of clips
Exactly what I needed, when I needed it
I needed this, thank you
I feel bad for Mr. Rock. This video deep dives a lot of common mental issues and does not get the recognition it deserves. Thank you for the knowledge you spread with this videos and all of your others.
23:10 being a doctor sounds rough, making a one hour spongebob episode on the other hand :D
