  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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]

  • [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.

  • #releasethesquidwardcut
