SpongeBob got better around season 11, arguably the best season made after the golden age, but then around season 13 it got bad again, it’s better than the Tibbitt seasons, but it just doesn’t feel much like SpongeBob anymore

Around midway through season 4 is when I stopped watching it regularly, the show started to feel really off. For some reason I'd still tune into the specials though because they generally still had ok writing.

Now this piece of shit? Holy fuck. All that buildup for what was being billed as a new Spongebob movie and it was fucking rancid dogshit.

I don't care to get the images, but the big one was that episode where Spongebob got the monster pet that tried to kill Gary and was constantly defending it even as it was trying to kill him two.

That said, every clip I watch of modern Bobsponge seems to be some humiliation ritual like the MY LEG guy getting his own episode or Pearl watching some abomination eat used gum with her feet. I can't tell if I just seem to catch the show at its most bottom-of-the-barrel. or if bottom-of-the-barrel is simply the status quo.

It wasn't really the splinter but A Pal for Gary where I could feel myself getting tired of it.

As flawed as Waller era is, at least it has a pretty great art direction, the Ren & Stimpy-like animation looks pretty good for a modern cartoon, and if you think they make faces to "make the next SpongeBob meme" you’re a retard who doesn’t know shit about cartooning.

You can tell how artistically experimental it is, "A Fish Called Sandy" was made to look like a season one episode, and "Delivery of Doom" does have some pretty neat looking visuals and layouts.

You can in no way convince me that the Tibbitt era looked better.

>>150124724

Waller also ruined SpongeBob completely beyond recognition. I'm not saying Tibbit was better and he made a lot of mistakes, but at least Tibbit didn't force us with those heel fetishes that Waller does. Waller went to a new level of disgusting. Besides, Plankton Movie is definitive proof that it worked better than Waller's episodes, because there weren't those fetishes and that rip-off Ren and Stimpy shit and the heavy repetition of characters.

>>150125945
I fucking hate how after the movie all of the fish characters just have regular hands all of a sudden. In the original seasons characters only had those if they were absolutely necessary for a scene or for comedic effect. It looks so fucking off.

>>150124807
Seasons 4-5 weren’t that bad because they basically consisted of holdover ideas from the first two seasons, that and Paul Tibbitt probably tried harder while producing those cause he was a new showrunner at the time. Kinda like how seasons 11-12 were pretty good when Waller was a new showrunner.

>>150126250

NuBob doesn’t include fetish shit, you’re just a brainrotted dumbfuck. Gross out stuff like what you provided is just Ren & Stimpy type humor, Waller literally got his start working on R&S. Deviantart ruined a generation cause now tards like you see every form of cartoonish or gross out humor as a fetish.

You’re also acting as if the Tibbitt era didn’t have episodes that gave off fetish vibes like Squid Baby. Also modern SpongeBobs movies suck, I will give you that, probably cause Waller ain’t involved with them.

The difference between Ren and Stimpy and SpongeBob is that Ren and Stimpy was a parody of the modern and postmodern world and was intentionally shown to be horrible, while SpongeBob is not. Yes, there are moments when they show certain things up close that are like "disgusting", but that was it, since Wallet came after Hillenburg left then SpongeBob turned into a rip-off of Ren and Stimpy, especially when Tibbit left. It's just not SpongeBob anymore and it's not funny. Although I admit that the second half of season 9 was better than the first half, but from season 10 that decline began and it's no longer the SpongeBob I know. There are always some fetish references in almost every episode.

When you defend those abominations that are being promoted, I can only think whose madhouse you came from. Especially from fans of John K. and his successors. Disgusting in itself!

My interest definitely waned around the fifth season and I completely have up on the seventh. Came back to it with Sponge Out of Water but since The Nitwitting, I stopped regularly watching.

Hillenburg

>>150126337
Every SpongeBob era always felt heavily derived from what the showrunner previously worked on:

Seasons 1-3 felt derived from Rocko cause that’s what Hillenburg previously worked on

Seasons 4-9 felt derived from CatDog cause that’s what Tibbitt previously worked on

Seasons 11-now feel derived from Ren & Stimpy/Spumco cause that’s what Waller previously worked on

Like season 5 around that ballpark.

>>150128152
Having never seen past season 3, I've been going through the series and just got about halfway into season 4 and you are absolutely right. Season 3 has some off episodes (I'm not crazy about Nasty Patty or the invisible paint ep) but 4 is pretty meh so far. A lot of it is in the timing, there's no chance to breathe and let jokes settle because they're already onto the next thing happening. Not to mention Tom Kenny is fully into the high pitched "excited" voice for everything now and not just to punctuate excited moments. Krusty Towers is probably the best one so far but I'd say it would be a middle of the road Season 2 episode

I stopped watching it after the movie, pretty much just because I was getting older and doing other shit and also because the newer episodes weren't as good.

>>150128152
>>150128333
I tried giving season 4 another chance after years earlier this year because of that upsurge of "season 4 was fine actually" posting, watched it all the way through. The first part feels off but is mostly just kind of dull, and yeah Krusty Towers is a clear standout but it's just a sort of middling episode compared to the golden age. The second half of season 4 is fucking BORING and full of episodes I forgot even existed.

>>150122783
I could have sworn that was like season 8, but no, that was the same season as the claw machine episode.

Can anyone articulate how it is that the original episodes of Spongebob, despite often having outlandish and wacky plots like Doodlebob or the Alaskan Bull Worm, still somehow felt grounded compared to the post-movie episodes? Because I'm struggling to properly figure out why it is that those kinds of plots worked in the older seasons but feel so fucking weird in the newer ones. Like I'm convinced that if Doodlebob came out in the Tibbit era it would have fucking sucked even if it used the same general premise.

>>150129760

>>150122488
Krusty Towers ep that came out after KCA (2006 so I was 9 at the time). Just realized the writing was a lot more obnoxious and spazzy and stopped watching from then on.

>>150129820
that was a post movie season

>>150129760
The actual situations aren't nearly as clever and they tend to rely too much on visual humor rather than clever dialogue or unexpected punchlines, and also the timing across the board is just off. That scene where Patrick turned into a bunch of bowling pins and scored two strikes just wouldn't have happened in the Tibbit era, it would have been Patrick getting brutally hit in the face with the bowling ball before falling over. And he wouldn't have shouted "Finland!" after being asked if he was ok, it would have just been a grossout shot of his bruised face where he says either yes or no.

>>150123782
Holy shit, this is exactly the same point I dropped Sponge. The post-movie seasons were hit or miss but Dunces and Dragons was a one of the biggest highlights of that time period so I always at least expected the writers to lock-in for the specials. This really cemented that nobody working on that show gave a fuck anymore.

It's how the characters acted. Everything just had a more natural flow to it.

I've discussed this a lot in regards to futurama but something that was lost in the transition from the fox seasons to cc and beyond and somewhat relevant in this case is the sort of reigned in pacing and timing and subtlety
like in fox futurama you'd have much slower paced jokes and moments with silence and shit
give things a chance to breath
spongebob always handled it a bit differently than that by virtue of being a kids cartoon, but I think it's somewhat similar there

I know that Season 4 isn't generally considered the worst, but Best Day Ever was the conclusive point when the series lost its classic zany Nicktoons vibe and became a generic vehicle to sell backpacks and CDs at Walmart. The marketing around this episode was massive, unbearably annoying, and totally embarrassing. Even as a kid, I remember thinking "OK, that's enough of this show" when I first heard the fucking song.

>>150128235
It's because of things like this that I can't take seriously people who associate Season 4 with the classic era. Hillenburg said in an interview that he left the show to Tibbitt in part because he believed the show, over time, needed new blood.

Desu season 4 is basically the point where the show stopped feeling like something that was made for everyone even if it was focused on kids. Like I used to watch the original three seasons with my fucking parents and they found them hysterical, season 4 has like no real adult appeal and after that it just got even worse.

>>150131035
Spongebob had a lot of nothingburger, shitty specials advertised as something spectacular and a must-see. Truth or Square, Atlantis Squarepantis, Best Day Ever, Spongebob's Last Stand, Spongebob vs The Big One, ect.

Stuff like Atlantis Squarepantis, Pest of the West, and Truth or Square at least had grand, different takes on the typical Spongebob formula which could theoretically warrant a special episode. Stuff like Best Day Ever and Whobob Whatpants are absolutely no different from any other Spongebob plot and basically just exist to shill DVDs.

>>150131115
I remember there was one episode about him getting fired that was hyped to no end. They ended up talking about spongebob getting fired on fucking cable news as if it was going to be a permanent thing going forwards. Even as a kid I thought that was absolutely pathetic.

>>150131291
Yeah even the Patchy specials did something different with them, those specials really have no reason to be specials at all.

>>150131103
They don't seem to realize that season 4 got its reputation for a reason.

>>150122488
I think its the same thing with Simpsons and Pokemon to me: The movie was the finale.

>>150131035
IMO, The Best Day Ever is SpongeBobs equivalent to The Principal and The Pauper in the sense that it’s not an awful episode, but along with the reasons you mentioned, every episode after it gradually felt less and less like SpongeBob, the show gradually began to lose it’s classic charm.

Sure the series had picked itself up a few times, seasons 10-11 and Sponge Out Of Water were enjoyable, The Patrick Star Show could be funny, but the point is less about the quality and more about how it just doesn’t feel like SpongeBob anymore. Even the best Waller era episodes are missing that classic flare that made the golden age episodes so enjoyable in the first place.

I don’t think ultraexpressive animation is a bad thing, newer SpongeBob is ran by Spumco members Bob Camp and Vincent Waller, it’s clear how derived the newer seasons animation style is from Ren & Stimpy, and I’ll admit the animations timing can be hit or miss but it’s probably the best-looking cartoon on right now desu.

The issue I feel is moreso at times it can feel like they prioritize the animation over the writing, sure the animation looks great and you can tell the animators have fun working on it but being style over substance is what alienates fans of the show, John K even said himself that substance is just as important as style.

Somewhere in Season 7. Not sure which episode, but probably the first half of seven because episodes like A Pal for Gary, Inside Job, One Course Meal, etc rubbed me the wrong way and were just really stupid. And that was even before the annoying internet reviewers started bashing it. All I knew was that I was getting bored. There were bad episodes before that but they were at least trying. Around Season 7 they all start kind of blending together in a horrendous way. Last episode I kinda remember watching live was the Tiki Dreams one, which was actually not a bad episode.

Although I will say I have continued to peek in and out of the show every now and then over the years. There were a couple of good patches in Season 8/9 and 13/14, but there are so many sloppy or lazy episodes It's not fun to watch full-on.

Funnily enough, as much as people hate on the gore from the Tibbitt seasons, I feel like Robertryan Corys art was one of the few visual highlights from them. These works would honestly look great as tattoos or t-shirts.

Honestly though his artwork looks a lot better in sketches, the Tibbitt era had an incredibly stiff artstyle and these drawings weren’t executed that well into the final show with their great linework being lost in translation.

His drawings probably would look better in the newer seasons since they have a more exaggerated and expressive artstyle.

>hey anon, the Ren n' Stimpy vibe was actually good
Yeah.....for Ren & Stimpy, not for fucking Spongebob. Everything post-1st movie sucks ass, even my dumbass teenage mind (14y at the time) knew as much and stopped watching it right there

>>150123809
I'm a filthy zoom too but even as a kid I noticed that the newest episodes after the movie weren't as enjoyable as the older ones. It's the same with the Simpsons. I still watched the newer episodes at the time, but I always preferred watching the older ones I had on dvd.

Remember when they recast Mama Krabs?

I think I stopped watching around middle school, so probably season 5 or 6.

It's reasonable that someone who's not a kid or a superfan would assume it's not worth watching unless told otherwise by someone trusted.

i remember there was a few weeks ago complain that one of the latest episode of spongebob they were all static and twitter all blamed on the people who were complaining about the overanimation while ignoring that all the complain was like this same example where it didn't need to overdo it while the right side of this vid is what they meant with toning down the oversued animation and le whacky meme faces

Post it

I was born when the show first aired and only remember seasons 1-4 from my childhood. If I saw later episodes I don't remember them.

There's no possible way you think the clip on the left looks better than the clip on the right

The Tibbet artstyle was so fucking ugly, you could always instantly tell when a character was made for that season. There wouldn't even be an attempt to make them blend in with the main cast. I have no idea what was on their minds.

In contrast, the recently released "A Fish Called Sandy" is one of the best Spongebob episodes visually. Damn heartbreaking they can't make that the standard. Anyone reading who hasn't seen it, the episode is worth watching for the visuals alone, and screenshots don't do it justice.

The episode was probably the best 2D animation visually on air this year.

You must have been barely watching the show

It felt like a very strange attempt at recreating the old style from out of nowhere, while still adhering to traits of the modern writing and visual humor.

Really? The episode felt much more toned down and relaxed than other episodes. The faces in this scene would've been far more exaggerated.

Was just about to post that. I hated other episodes before, but Kenny The Cat just pissed me off beyond belief and I genuinely don't know why.

LOL

for me it was because the premise and plot were so fundamentally retarded that the episode simply being canon makes the show's universe worse

Nick started to do this annoying thing where they would hype the fuck out of a new spongebob ep like something big was going to happen, only for it to just be a nothingburger ep, just to trick dumb kids into watching it. It's when the creativity and excitement from episode ideas and dynamics was replaced by, basically, clickbait (Spongebob and sandy are...GETTING MARRIED?)

YOU TAKE THAT FUCKING BACK RIGHT NOW THE FIRST SPONGEBOB MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!

Yeh it looked pretty good, and had some decent jokes. I just can't stand the pacing of those episodes, it's too fast and lacks a lot of substance

>sure the animation looks great
it looks like an aborted fetus trying to breath

Trying too hard

Tibbitt himself admitted his run wasn't good.
