Ever notice anything strange in the background of SpongeBob?
Because while you might be focused on this, or this, or this,
you might be missing something like this.
Here are 10 details in the background of SpongeBob
you might have missed.
Number Ten:
Pretty Patties, available in six designer colors.
[laughing]
Pretty Patties are famous for their surprising side effect.
Your dumb Pretty Patties turned my face purple!
But maybe the Bikini Bottomites could have seen this coming
if they paid really close attention to this news broadcast,
they'd see that Pretty Patties had some weird effects
on SpongeBob and Patrick.
It's easy to see that Pretty Patties are popular.
Where are their legs?
Did the Pretty Patties make them invisible?
I sure hope so, because otherwise
they might wanna take a trip to the leg doctor.
Hey, at least they can keep Fred company.
My leg!
Number Nine:
Look what I got under my kilt!
And look at our tongues!
What's wrong with you?
We want our money back. All 46,853 of us.
Yep, more Pretty Patties, They're just so mysterious.
We know they can change the color of people's tongues,
the pattern of their underwear,
and even give people glow in the dark properties.
But are they responsible for this? And if not, what are these things?
Tall wide-eyed formless creatures staring eerily at Krabs.
They're kind of terrifying, actually.
Number Eight:
[screaming]
OK, there's a lot going on here, I know.
But while it may seem like random chaos,
if you pause it and look more closely at what's going on in the bottom left,
there's a few frames that actually tell an unfortunate story.
Let's break it down.
Here we see two firefighters
and they're holding a trampoline between them. If you look above them,
you'll notice a fish shaped hole in the top of the building.
And finally, if you look down here way in the corner of the frame,
you can just make out two feet of someone lying on the ground.
Have you put it together?
We can't say for sure, but it looks like this fish
jumped out of this burning building
while these firefighters tried to catch 'em but they missed. Ouch!
Number Seven:
We did it, Patrick! We saved the city!
Just think what might've happened
if we didn't tell everyone about the monster.
About the what?
This one is actually from a little later in the same scene.
Like we've said, there is a lot going on here,
but we're not talking about the meteor or the man whose shower takes up
the entire second story of his house.
We're talking about this.
[music]
I mean, the cause of all this chaos was Wormy, the butterfly, right?
So how could he have caused this?
Maybe Wormy really was a monster.
[buzzing]
[screaming]
Number Six:
♪ Now, I learned a lesson I won't soon forget ♪
♪ So listen and you won't regret Be true to yourself ♪
♪ Don't miss your chance And you won't end up like the fool ♪
♪ Who ripped his pants ♪
Everybody loves the Ripped Pants song, right?
I mean, just look at that cheering crowd.
That sure looks like they love this song except for these guys.
While everyone else is partying,
these two are completely frozen, unblinking
and just staring intensely at SpongeBob.
Either they are completely unimpressed by the song
or they love it a little too much.
Either way, it's kinda creepy.
♪ Now I learned a lesson I won't soon forget ♪
Number Five:
Here, look at it! It's ugly isn't it?
You, look at it!
Hello.
You, look at it!
Hi.
Look at it! Look at it!
Don't let Patrick distract you,
Look at it!
because what you should really be looking at, is Tom,
you know, the chocolate guy,
Chocolate! Chocolate!
Can you spot 'em? It shouldn't be too hard
since he's right here and here.
That's right. This guy is in two places at once.
Then when we see the crowd again, everyone seems to be duplicated.
And there were like five Toms.
Well, at least now he'll have help making potato salad.
Way to go, buddy, it took us three days to make that potato salad.
Three days!
Number Four:
Fortunately, I have enough talent for all of you.
[laughing]
All of y--
[laughing]
Yeah. Hm.
When do we get the free food?
OK, this one's really hard to catch
because it's not about what you see, it's about what you don't see.
Let's watch it again. Keep a close eye on Sandy's helmet.
Fortunately, I have enough talent for all of you.
[laughing]
All of y--
[laughing]
Yeah. Hm.
When do we get the free food?
Did you notice it?
What happened to the other half of this fish?
We can't see any part of him that's behind the helmet,
so does the helmet render him invisible
or does it actually reveal that this guy's not really there at all?
Maybe Sandy's helmet doubles as some sort of ghost detection device
or it's just a mistake.
Number Three:
Well, maybe we wouldn't sound so bad
if some people didn't try to play with big meaty claws!
What did you say, punk?
Big... Meaty... Claws!
Well, these claws ain't for just attracting mates.
Bring it on, old man! Bring it on!
No people. Let's be smart and bring it off.
Oh, so now the talking cheese is gonna preach to us.
Wait, wait. I know tensions are high.
[fighting]
There's a deposit on that equipment, people.
[arguing]
Settle down, please!
[fighting]
[screaming]
What a rumble. What do ya think was the craziest thing that happened here?
Was it Sandy threatening Patrick with a trumpet?
Was it this literal cymbal crash or was it this?
Why is SpongeBob holding a dismembered arm?
And to make things stranger doesn't seem to match the arm
of anyone else in the room.
In fact, it looks like a human arm, a tiny fish sized human arm.
How did we miss that?
Number Two: Ah, Goo Lagoon, home to fun loving beach-goers,
free ice cream and holy big face, what is that?!
Like, I know there are some strange fish in Bikini Bottom,
but that one actually doesn't have a face. No eyes, no nose and no mouth.
Well, at least SpongeBob won't have to worry about this guy.
If he doesn't have a face, then he can't take in any water
and he can't drown. I mean, he's a fish,
he probably wouldn't have been able to drown anyway.
But wait a minute, aren't they all fish?
So how could any of them drown? Don't think about it too hard.
Number One:
- Squidward! - What?
What in Neptune's name is going on?
We're making the commercial, Mr. Krabs.
What you're doing is throwing away me money!
I told you to rent only what's absolutely necessary.
This is all necessary.
Well, what's all this useless junk?
That's the useless junk for scene, ah, 28.
Oh, well, how do you explain that? A second Krusty Krab.
Mr. Krabs, everyone needs an understudy.
Well, you got me there.
OK, I really want them to release that Squidward version
of the Krusty Krab commercial.
I mean, it looks like when the new director,
Mr. Krabs took over, he cut a lot a things.
Get lost! All a ya! Y'er fired. Go on! Scram! Get outta here, ya moochers!
If you look closely at Squidward's original version,
you can see that it was gonna go in a very different direction
involving giant tomato slices, a cowboy, clones.
That is, before Krabs got there and dulled it all down
with a more corporate plan.
Yep, I got a sweet deal and a prime time slot.
Oh, dad, I've got a real problem.
What's your problem, Amy?
I've got all this money and I don't know what to do with it.
And I'm hungry.
