Film Theory: Spongebob is an Evil Genius...CONFIRMED!

Going back to the origins. Proving that iconic characters are actually evil

One thing you forgot to mention: In the episode Fools In April, Squidward pulls an April Fools Day prank on SpongeBob that’s so humiliating to the poor guy that he basically gets cancelled for it. Later when he apologizes to SpongeBob, it’s revealed that it was all just a massive prank planned by the entire town.

SpongeBob is canonically intelligent but socially awkward. He can do mental math super fast and is naturally gifted as a sculptor. I do think his clumsiness and naivity are real, though, not faked.

Let's also not forget that Bikini Bottom also created a national no SpongeBob Day. But the crazy part, is that SpongeBob actually was sad when he saw that no one was around. 🤔

Love the fact that this was uploaded only an hour or so after I finished binging Alex Bale’s Spongebob conspiracy theory compilation for the second time!

My theory is that sense sea sponges live long, than SpongeBob will mature much slower, so even though he’s like 20s 30s or whatever internally he’s like still 12 years old

No way bro we got a modern day film theory equivalent to Mario is a sociopath.

Once Alex Bale quit Spongebob, Lee knew he had to take over the scene

"I'm not allowed to watch Spongebob" -That one friend that wasn't allowed to watch anything as a kid

An interesting concept. I think, however, that both Squidward and Brain coral Patrick are not warnings against intelligence, but rather, Pride. There's a big difference between knowing that tomato is a fruit and thinking less of someone who doesn't realize that fact. Look at Sandy Cheeks, for instance. She's the science nerd of the Bikini bottom, and she shows no sign of depression or sadness apart from homesickness. Plankton has been shown to both have high intelligence and sadness, but usually that depression is caused not by his intellect, but rather the mundane repetitive nature of his life, something he's been shown to recover from by taking a break, like when he swapped roles with Mr. Krabs. I believe the theory that Spongebob being smart is valid. I hold nothing against the evidence you provided, and can think of a few examples myself that demonstrate his intelligence. However, like Sandy, Intelligence doesn't grant him happiness. Everything in this world is fleeting, including knowledge. Spongebob is an example of how seeking relationship with the people around you can fill you with joy, much more than any search for money, like Mr. Krabs; Fame, like Squilliam and Squidward (successful or not); or even Fun, like Patrick, could provide you with. But that's just my take on the matter. my "mini theory' if you will.

I think my all time favorite example of SpongeBob being aware of his annoyance and purposefully doing so towards Squidward is in the Houseparty episode where Squid comes over after SB literally cuts his power, tucking the pliers he used into his back pocket

Are we sure… PATRICK isn’t the evil genius? He’s quite literally always torturing Squidward as well. And it’s ten times more intentional with how blatantly he displays it omg😭

I've always said that squidward doesn't deserve half the bad stuff that happens to him. He absolutely DOES deserve the other half xD

11:40 Jellyfishing legit upset me as a kid. It was so mean of SpongeBob, and Squidward did nothing in the episode to deserve that level of torment.

Unless he's intelligent but oblivious. Which is possible. Making him unable to see a reason to be miserable?

1:10 I love how Sandy’s defining feature is being Texan before being a scientist.

Squidward episodes read like biblical tests of faith stories.

U called him a rectangle omg
