Talk:SpongeBob SquarePants/Archive 1

message: By the way (and this is totally off-topic, but I'm in a silly mood now), does anyone remember a book called Sponge, X and Y? It was great! Definitely deserves an article of its own. :) But for some reason, Google's Web search turns up no matches for it. I don't get it. Have I remembered the title wrongly?
? Google's Groups search turns up one match, but there is no sign of a reply to the person who asked about it. :( -- Oliver P. 07:41 Mar 8, 2003 (UTC)
:Assuming it was a licensed product, one could try checking Amazon.com for it. -- knoodelhed 15:31, 1 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Yeah, I looked through the episode articles, and found minor vandalism (pipsqueak was changed to pimpsqueak, etc.) We need to fix those things.Davidizer13 19:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Some people may think that the show may have some form of terrorism...
Huh?  --zenohockey 03:28, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This "terrorism" claim seems incomprehensible. Currently the text says, "After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the show had been receiving higher ratings than usual. A few people thought that the show may have some link to terrorism, but many fans and other people believe that the paraphrased line, 'it's just a show that heals your depressions from terrible things in life' explains the rise in viewers." This seems like gibberish. Why would a rise in viewing figures imply a link to terrorism -unless you were a complete nutcase? Who made these claims? When? What exactly is the "reasoning" involved here? Paul B 21:25, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

message: There is a technical problem with this article and its talk-page. If you type in SpongeBob SquarePants you get to a page that is nearly identical to SpongeBob SquarePants (TV show). If you then click on the discussion tab for the former article you get to this discussion page, someone having created a ridirect for Talk:SpongeBob SquarePants. If you then click back to the article you get to the SpongeBob SquarePants (TV show) article (with a merger-suggestion notice at the top) not the SpongeBob SquarePants article. As a result there are a number of inconsistent alterations accumulating between the two articles, as well as inconsistency between articles and talk pages - since there's only one talk page between the two articles. This needs to be sorted out asap. Someone recently attempted to redirect the "(tv show)" article but it was reverted. This is silly. There needs to be one article, whatever it's name is.

message: According to this article, 64 episodes have been aired. However, there are 114 articles in Category: SpongeBob SquarePants episodes. Which one is correct? Hugh Jass 02:08, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: An episode of Spongebob Squarepants is two 11 minute shorts, which is why there are so many entries - each entry is half an episode. Some episodes only contain 1 22-minute story however. For a list on how this works, see here. Squidward2602 15:02, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

message: "We never know the secret formula of a fictional krabby patty. In the movie, Plankton finds out the secret formula but we never get to know it. In the Krusty Krab Training Video, we get to know the formula but after "is", the episode ends. But i know the secret recipe/formula. The secret formula of a krabby patty is love." Bobber1.
Look, it's no secret that love is an important - vital, even - ingredient of a Krabby Patty. We simply don't know what the patties are actually made of. Therein lies the Secret Ingredient. Ppk01 18:01, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I deleted this paragraph from the Controversy section, but I just had to preserve it.
::Spongebob is a very controversial character indeed.  Many of the episodes of the show Nickelodean decided were too controversial.  For instance the unaired fifth season was composed entirely of an LSD flashback that Spongebob had.  It is a little known fact that Spongebob faced a difficult struggle trying to kick in the early 80s.  At one point he was so doped that he murdered his own father and has since struggled with the guilt of his crime.  He was able to cope with his homosexuality, however, his friend Patrick did yet feel the same way.  Patrick was so confused he actually though he was in love with Sandy!  Spongebob, however did find love, and was able to kick his drug addiction.  When his lover died of AIDs, he went again into a rapid downward spiral, this time with alcohol.  In the early 90s, Patrick was finally able to admit his true feelings for Spongebob.  He was successful in getting Spongebob to rehab and helping him kick his bad habits.  At the end of the fifth season, the show switches back to the present.  Spongebob and Patrick finally make their relationship public, get married in Massachusetts because of the new gay marriage laws, and move in the pineapple together.  The wedding episode is very touching and has an amusing guest appearance made by Nathan Lane, the voice of Timon from The Lion King trilogy. , .

message: According to the controversy setion,
In one episode, SpongeBob and Patrick have an argument, and as Patrick walks away, Spongebob yells to him, "See you next tuesday!" Many have percieved this as an abbreviated way of saying "cunt".
Could someone please explain this?
:If you pronounce it, see means 'c', you means 'u', next's first letter is 'n', and Tuesday's first letter is 't', spelling 'cunt'. I didn't understand it at first, either. M2K 23:59, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh--my--God. Of course, the little kids wouldn't understand that, and neither would anybody if one didn't think quick. What did the writers think?! Hoodie 11:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's pretty stupid. I really doubt that the writers intented the abbreviation. M2K 14:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Doesn't anyone think that this template is slightly too huge? Its also pretty redundant, given that theres already a list of episodes article. It just wastes space at the bottom of every episode article. -- jeffthejiff 17:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
