@NoodleVEVO Misery is funny

@FoodzAreGoodz

@NoodleVEVO Maybe because of the contrast of spongebob being hyper positive

@Beelzebolt i mean yeah but like, originally the show was just unapologetically positive, focusing on spongebob's happiness more than anything imo then seasons 2 and 3 came around and more often painted spongebob as naive, sympathizing with everyone else instead

@NoodleVEVO Which episode is the bottom right from?

@Pooxel lost episode/sponge that could fly

@NoodleVEVO TBF that is Squidward's entire character

@CypressDahlia HOW COULD I FORGET THIS ONE

@NoodleVEVO They were foils to SpongeBob’s unrelenting optimism

@NoodleVEVO Ever grateful for Spongebob implanting the subconscious fear of living a mediocre life in my brain

@NoodleVEVO I'm curious as to why they strayed away from this? 🤔 where have all the broken people gone?

@NoodleVEVO I think I t was probably really relatable for kids in a way. SpongeBob is a metaphor for children. Happy for seemingly no reason at all, laughing and finding amusement in silly things, even things that other people complain about. Often around broken people (parents/adults).

@NoodleVEVO Cause classic shows before then did that as well.

@NoodleVEVO This is ESPECIALLY what made SpongeBob so different to everything else. You have this childish funny little sponge, and next second it hits you with this shit.

@NoodleVEVO that’s life 😭

@NoodleVEVO Making fun of them is funny

@NoodleVEVO SpongeBob is supposed to be a young adult and the show used to try to be relatable to that kind of audience before spiraling after hillenburg left the show

@NoodleVEVO Lmfaoooooooooooo

@NoodleVEVO That’s life fr

@NoodleVEVO it was a foreshadowing of whats to come for me.
