Unmarked Video 2000 Tape

A Screenshot from the footage.

The **Unmarked Video 2000 tape** is a Video 2000 unmarked tape. The video itself is pretty much just static, but the tape has two audio clips in it, SpongeBob's laugh at ten seconds in, and at four minutes and sixteen seconds in, a shotgun cocking and firing, indicating the tape is not just static, but a very dirty video. It was presumed that the **Unmarked Video 2000 tape** was one of the cartoons made only by Andrew. It is also Andrew's last tape, made 12 days before getting arrested, precisely on March 6, 2006. The episode was sent to Nick Studios in Florida as a prèmiere of the episode "Driven To Tears".

## The Tape

The tape only has labelled "Spongebob Squarepants, Season 4 Episode 77a".

## The Plot

It has no title card, and the starting has basically the same plot as Suicide Squidward, except different animation of Squidward playing his clarinet, and no Painty the Pirate, and no dead kids at all. Squidward is on his bed looking forlorn, with a wind sound effect getting gradually louder. Static happens, and Squidward has tears running down his face. Static again, he's now crying blood. Static once more, and Squidward now has a unique set of hyper-realistic eyes, different from all three other cartoons. He is still crying blood. Static yet again, and Squidward's skin is light-gray colored. A voice says "DO IT" like the other three Suicidal Squidward cartoons. Static again, and Squidward is in the same room from Squidward's Suicide, with the new red eyes, blood running down cheeks, and the contrast is greater than the other three tapes. The crying sounds from Red Mist accompany the picture.

Static follows, and Squidward is back on his bed again, and soon starts crying. He eventually is shown in the same scene from the Red Mist audio part and is still crying. The evil laughter is right from Suicide Squidward as is the crying. The four shots of Squidward's head gradually getting scarier looking from a minute ago happens again, Squidward still sobbing.

Soon, the scene zooms out, and the photo from above is there, Squidward crying blood from his hyper realistic eyes, shotgun in hand, and great contrast. Static, and we are back at Squidward on his bed, but he now has the shotgun pointed at his mouth, with his eyes closed. The sound of firing is heard as Squidward opens his eyes while the gun flashes for a split second, and his head explodes as he falls on his back, his head is blown open, one eye dangling out, and blood on his head and wall. The shotgun's barrel is smoking.

An end card saying "By Andrew Skinner, 2006" appears for the last two seconds, and the tape ends.

## Aftermath

It appears to be Andrew's latest cartoon, made back in 2006, 3 whole *years* after Suicide Squidward was produced in 2003. The reason for its creation remains unknown, as Andrew already made *three* "Squidward kills himself out of depression from a failed concert" episodes. There is the possibility of a collection of nearly 15-20 cartoons Andrew made, maybe before the first of the five tapes, Suicide Squidward, or maybe after the mysterious cassette footage this article centers on. The hunt for more cartoons, and a possible explanation to their production, continues to this day.

## Additional Tapes

Andrew had made other tapes alongside Unmarked Video 2000 Tape:

* Suicide Squidward | his first cartoon, made and sent to Nickelodeon Florida in 2003.
* Squidward's Suicide | his second cartoon, made and sent to Nick Studios in California in 2004.
* Three Bloody Drops | Andrew's third cartoon, made in Late 2004. It describes the murder of the two kids showed in Squidward's Suicide.
* Red Mist | Andrew's fourth cartoon. It looks like a Redone vesion of Squidward's Suicide with a few major differences. This one is on Sony Betamax and not VHS, supposedly to increase quality.
* Squidward's Homicide | a common nickname of Blood Lane. The episode shows Squidward committing a murder out of frustration.
