One of the things that fans revere Spongebob Squarepants for are its hummable tunes, from the simple catchy “F.U.N.” to its epic goofy riff on “I Wanna Rock” known as “Goofy Goober Rock”, and “Very First Christmas” is no exception. What nobody knows is that while the bottles that are launched do reach the ocean surface, they only float there in one place and don’t make it to the North Pole.Īs all of Bikini Bottom gets swept up in the holiday, Spongebob leads everyone in a great big festive song. He insists that Santa isn’t real and repeatedly turns down Spongebob’s offer to write a letter for him. Squidward, of course, is the only exception. …to carry the bags of money he asked Santa for.Ĭome on, I had to make an MLP/Brony joke at least once. The citizens of Bikini Bottom line up to give their requests, even Mr. Thankfully instead of kidnapping Santa and stealing his job, Spongebob makes a machine that can launch messages in bottles up to the surface where they’ll be received by the jolly old elf before Christmas Eve. Spongebob decides to tell everyone else in Bikini Bottom and bring their own version of Christmas under the sea so he could spread the joy he feels and WAIT JUST A COTTON PICKIN’ MINUTE – Let’s be honest, none of us really liked Squidward when we were kids but now that most of us have grown up it’s become easier to identify with him especially if you’re a wannabe artist forced to work a thankless 9 to 5 job and deal with people who don’t understand you every day. Krabs and light-hearted (and light-headed) Patrick are on board with the idea, but cynical Squidward is skeptical about everything. Spongebob recounts this to his friends Squidward Tentacles, Patrick Star and Mr. His attempts to put it out go awry and Sandy explains she was stringing up some Christmas lights on it, to which Spongebob replies “Christmas who?”įrom there Sandy tells him the joys and traditions of Christmas, ending with the mythos of Santa Claus. I don’t question it and neither should you ‘cuz trust me, by comparison it’s one of the least implausible things on this show) But when he gets there he finds her tree is “on fire”. Spongebob is heading over to his friend Sandy Cheeks’ dome and surprise her with some karate moves (yeah, Sandy is a squirrel from Texas who lives underwater in a big dome. Finally, he tells us the story of Spongebob’s first Christmas. Potty and Patchy’s interactions are hilarious, and Tom Kenny nails that kitschy kid’s show host humor.
This segment lasts a good four minutes before the animation actually begins, but believe me, it flies by quick. Patchy shows us around his house which is overflowing with holiday spirit, and engages in some shenanigans with his puppet sidekick Potty the Parrot. The episode starts with a holiday spin on the traditional theme song and opens on the very first appearance of President of the Spongebob Fan Club, Patchy the Pirate (played in live-action by Spongebob’s voice actor Tom Kenny). Let’s take a look at The Spongebob Christmas Special, aka “Christmas Who?”
So needless to say getting to finally talk about one of my favorite episodes, the Christmas one, has got me as excited as our titular character doing double overtime at the Krusty Krab. I still regard it as one of the best cartoons to come out of the past two decades (it’s been on air for almost 20 years now, holy shit I feel old…)
#Spongebob xmas episodes crack
My friends and I still quote it in our conversations and it never fails to crack us up. When it was good, it was really freaking good like Seasons 2-8 of The Simpsons good – bright, colorful and silly with wry and surreal humor that appeals to both kids and adults without pandering to one or the other. None of that can ruin the classic first few years of its existence for me. Yes Nickelodeon has dragged it out far longer than it should have like some other animated shows starring yellow characters I could mention to the point where the characters are zombie versions of their old selves. Yes the internet is overly saturated with memes spawned from it. Yes it’s been overplayed and overmarketed to death. All right, I have to start with a bit of a confession:
