[Music]
there we go good as new
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down
our picks for the top 10 things in
spongebob that make
no sense oh my gosh if my sister finds
out oh wait i don't have a sister
it seems like it was just yesterday i
was teaching her how to preach
hey he burnt my krabby patty he burnt my
fries
for this list we'll be looking at
continuity errors and lapses in simple
logic from this long-running nicktoon
we acknowledge that logic has never been
this show's top priority
nor should it be but it's still fun to
analyze
what's your favorite example of
spongebob logic let us know in the
comments
number 10 eating fast food underwater
one krabby patty extra onion one crying
johnny coming up
spongebob spent his days firing up the
grill and serving up hot krabby patties
that sizzle in the customers mouths as
you might have noticed there are more
than a few problems with that last
sentence
aside from not being able to operate a
grill underwater
those patties should be soggy and
falling apart
yet the krabby patty is a vision of
perfection
except when squidward's on cooking
duties hey
he burnt my krabby patty he burnt my
fries
he burnt my shake speaking of which
we're not sure how you would burn a
krabby patty
or fries or a shake for that matter
this doesn't just apply to the krusty
krab's menu
salt may be used to make ice cream but
salt also melts it
we doubt goofy goober's inventory would
mesh well with the surrounding salt
water
why do i always get the nuts number nine
two
neptunes
in the first season spongebob
inadvertently summons
neptune after pulling a golden spatula
from ancient greece
to see if spongebob is truly worthy
neptune
challenges him to the ultimate cook-off
in atlantis
this neptune pops up in a few other
episodes
in the 2004 feature film though neptune
appears with lighter green skin
a longer nose and a bold head he also
sounds
less like jay peterman and more like
george bluth
senior is this the same neptune or
are there two neptunes actually there
could be three neptunes if the live
action segments are canon
who dares to interrupt neptune sorry
about that
if that's neptune he's king of the sea
on top of all of that there's apparently
more than one atlantis
the gang later travels to a very
different atlantis
ruled by lord royal highness rather than
neptune
allow me to introduce myself i am the
lord
royal highness but my friends call me
lrh
number eight plankton's fear of pearl
mother always said i'd end up in a
whale's belly
or prison it's revealed in season seven
episode
one course meal that plankton is deathly
afraid of whales
such as pearl we guess that makes sense
seeing how whales
are higher up on the food chain what
doesn't make sense is that plankton
and pearl had already crossed paths
several times
do instruments of torture count they
were in the same marching band together
without any anxiety
plankton even swaps lives with mr krabs
in one episode becoming pearl's father
and while annoyed by pearl plankton
isn't concerned that she might eat him
could i please have a um an advance on
my allowance
if it'll get you out of my antenna
go crazy even after plankton's fear of
wales is established
this detail is pretty much forgotten in
subsequent episodes
plankton continues to interact with
pearl as if one course meal never
happened
given the episode's reception maybe
that's for the best
just being near a whale's mouth gives me
the creeps number seven
a crusty and confusing origin story
we first learned in season 3 that krabs
turned a bankrupt retirement home called
the rusty crab into the krusty krab
this happened after the war when crabs
served in the navy
after the war crab stayed secluded in a
deep depression
that seemed endless but then his luck
changed when he acquired a bankrupt
retirement home
and with a few minor alterations
the krusty krab was born krabs later
reveals however that he was once a
pirate
the krusty krab was originally the name
of his ship
which he sold so krabs is a navy vet
and a former pirate maybe he joined the
pirate
queen after all i can't let you go lass
i'd be in violation of the naval code
enjoy your last meal i hope you like
sponge sugar
if he comes from a pirate family though
why would crabs enlist in the navy
the krabby patty secret formula has a
muddled backstory as well
it's repeatedly shown to be a family
recipe
but in friend or foe the formula is
accidentally created
following an argument between young
crabs and plankton
you wanna fight over this recipe i'll
give you a fight you'll never forget
[Music]
well that's ruined but no use letting
this go to waste
these kids will eat anything number six
patrick's sister
when patrick thinks he's contracted the
ugly in season two
he fears what his sister will say i
always thought
if i was as ugly as that guy i don't
know what i would do
what's my mom going to say oh my gosh if
my sister finds out oh wait i don't have
a sister
if the bank i mean it's one thing if you
have bad jews patrick suddenly remembers
though
that he doesn't have a sister the thing
is that
patrick does have a sister named sam
who we meet in season seven although she
was lost at sea
when they were young we doubt anyone
could forget somebody as
outlandish as sam least of all her own
brother
oh dear naptone didn't you hear me
then again this is patrick we're talking
about
the starfish spent an entire day
entertaining two strangers
thinking that they were his parents it
wasn't until after they had said their
names that patrick realised something
was off
so the idea that patrick momentarily
forgot about his sis
isn't too far-fetched we suppose oh
that's right honey
we don't have a son oh yeah
number five spongebob's spontaneous
strength
gotta be in top physical condition for
today gary in the show's debut episode
spongebob can barely lift a weight
constructed from stuffed animals
we've also seen him struggle to lift a
stick with a couple of marshmallows on
the ends
whenever the plot requires it however
spongebob is capable of extraordinary
physical feats like lifting a boat
one-handed
in the fry cook games he miraculously
grows muscles like arnold
schwarzenegger's
yet in another episode he buys a pair of
inflatable muscles to appear
buff he can hold his own in a karate
match against sandy bikini bottom's
strongest resident but he can't even
open a ketchup bottle to gain access to
the salty spittoon
if i could just run this under some hot
water get out of here is spongebob
stronger than he looks
or is he a weakling we'll let weenie hut
general be the judge
hmm i think you guys want that hospital
weenie hot general number four mermaid
man
and barnacle boy's size by the power of
neptune mermaid man with his young
associate barnacle boy
fights for all creatures that live in
the sea
against the forces of evil when we first
meet the dynamic underwater duo
they appear to be characters on a tv
show later in the same episode however
it's clarified that mermaid man and
barnacle boy
are real what would the real mermaid man
do
why don't you ask him yourself elaborate
you vile thing he and barnacle boy live
in the retirement home on the other side
of town
were they on a reality show or is this
like
the boys where actual superheroes star
in their own movies
of course there's an even bigger
question on our minds
unlike some of the other humans
spongebob has encountered like david
hasselhoff
mermaid man and barnacle boy are both
the size of
fish the two are given conflicting
origin stories in one episode
but in each version they start off as
normal sized humans
well maybe mermaid man used his belt to
shrink themselves down to the size of
sea creatures
just tell them how the one shrink us oh
yes
the unshrink ray let's see uh
uh did you send it to wumbo number three
why isn't goo lagoon a condemned area
hey look a cardboard box washed up on
the beach
holy fish it's a guy as surreal as an
underwater beach
sounds there is some logic behind goo
lagoon
technically this hot spot is a brine
pool
the goo the beach goers swim in is brine
which is saltier and denser than the
rest of the surrounding water
in one episode spongebob and patrick
nearly drown in gu lagoon because they
can't swim
granted the word choice raises several
questions
if you live underwater aren't you
automatically swimming
how can you drown if the sea is your
natural habitat
don't you stand there dude the tide's
coming in
still a brine pools can send marine life
into toxic
shock and even cause death the real
question
is why anyone would go to goo lagoon for
a fun time
it should look less like a beach and
more like a fish graveyard
dudes he made me experience high tide
number two pearl being crab's daughter
you men know me daughter pearl
she's growing up fast it seems like it
was just yesterday i was teaching her
how to preach
how did a crab father a whale it's a
question that's rarely brought up within
the show
but we've been asking it since 1999.
in the official spongebob squarepants
trivia book
mr krabs says that pearl takes after her
mother
who has never been revealed we guess
that means
pal's mum was also a whale but how could
mr krabs possibly be her biological
father
it doesn't add up anyone who's taken a
marine biology or
sex education class can explain why
your daddy always knows best you don't
understand me
i know we're not of the same species
which is pretty weird now that i think
about it it would honestly make a
lot more sense if pearl was adopted our
theory is that pearl is to crabs what hw
is to daniel plainview after all krabs
also represents the madness of
capitalism
and sperm whales are full of oil earl
those are the finest fish and boots
available
dad you ruined me yeah
but i got him for a bargain before we
unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
underwater gorilla
and what's a horse doing underwater for
that matter
what's a gorilla doing underwater in the
first place
oh well it's funny you should i mean the
see that
george they're onto us spongebob's
parents
are round and yet their surname is
squarepants all right boys all right
let's turn down the volume back there
i have an idea why don't we play a road
game to pass the time
sweater of tears more water underwater
is this any better squidward i made this
one
with my tears snowing underwater it
should be more frozen than snowy
yes it seems old man winter paid us a
visit late last night
and he brought with him not a pillow or
a sheet but a blanket
a blanket of snow more on mr krabs
history
what war was he in when did he cook on
the ss diarrhea
and how old is he anyway my first time
oh timey i'll never lose you again
this is a dime i've been in business a
long time boy

number one underwater fire bikini bottom
is an underwater city run
on electricity which means it should
probably look
more like this scene from the simpsons
movie
[Music]
i think i have a nibble what makes even
less
sense is how fire exists in this
underwater world
throughout this series we've seen
various campfires and
buildings set ablaze bikini bottom has
its own
fire department and fire extinguishers
even the youngest spongebob fans know
however
that you can't start a fire at the
bottom of the sea
this is so preposterous that the writers
have poked fun at it
in one episode spongebob and patrick are
keeping warm by a fire
it automatically goes out though when
patrick points out the obvious
but at least it's warm around the fire
hey if we're underwater how could there
be a
see even patrick recognizes the physical
limitations of life
underwater sometimes whoever sent this
obviously has no idea about the physical
limitations of life underwater
well might as well throw these in the
fire
