This page is a list of other Internet phenomena such as popular internet phenomena, lesser parodies, deleted scenes, urban legends, fan theories, creepypasta, trollpasta, video edits, bootlegs, websites and more internet phenomena. This page is a list of notable SpongeBob SquarePants miscellaneous internet phenomena and lesser parodies that are very popular on YouTube and other sites or may have officially been used by Nickelodeon.

Urban legends/creepypasta[]

SpongeBoy mop[]

For many years, it was originally thought that the name SpongeBoy was copyrighted by a mop company.[1] Various interviews with Tom Kenny, SpongeBob's voice actor, had stated the mop rumor, where he believed that the name SpongeBoy was used by a mop company.[2] A YouTube user named Kid Leaves Stoop uploaded a video on September 7, 2022 that had lots of strong evidence to debunk the theory and that the name SpongeBoy was actually taken by an art themed pencil product. A character named SpongeBoy in Flaming Carrot Comics was also believed to be a reason for the name change.

Deleted scenes[]

"Reef Blower"[]

It was rumored that the characters don't have lines in this episode because the sound equipment was damaged and was rewritten to be completely silent. On June 10, 2022, in tweets by former crew member Jay Lender on Twitter, it was confirmed that the episode did not feature any spoken dialogue because it was made to extend "Help Wanted" to a full half-show.[3] However, because the episodes were produced separately, Screen Actors Guild rules mandated paying the actors a second set of session fees.[4] This would have cost around $2,500 USD at the time of production, leading to the choice to forgo dialogue.[5]

"I Was a Teenage Gary"[]

There was a rumor that in the original airing, there was a scene showing Squidward's transformation to a snail. It has since been proven false as of June 12, 2016, confirmed by a YouTube user named 90sGiveMeGoosebumps, who has a tape with the original airing of this episode.[6] In fact, as further proof, he also uploaded a clip of All That cast member Lori Beth Denberg introducing this episode as brand new.[7] In addition, Vincent Waller said on Twitter that the so-called deleted scene was never even drawn in the storyboard of this episode.[8]

SpongeBob SquarePants - "I Was a Teenage Gary" Deleted Scene Debunked (Original airing; October 28, 1999)

The original airing on October 28, 1999, which proves that Squidward's transformation scene was fake.

"Your Shoe's Untied"[]

There was a rumor that it was released standalone on "The American Cartoons" on June 30, 2000. However, by 2020, it was later revealed that "The American Cartoons" does not exist.[9]

"Life of Crime"[]

There was a rumor that SpongeBob was originally going to say "no more getting nailed" and Patrick would nail a plank to his head. This remains unconfirmed, and according to many researchers of lost media, there is a good chance of it being false, or a misinterpretation of a scene from "My Pretty Seahorse."[10]

"Christmas Who?"[]

There was a rumor that the "Christmas Who?" special aired in the early 2000's on CBS, as a holiday special. No evidence supporting this has been found so far, though this confusion might stem from CBS airing holiday specials for Rugrats in 2001.

"Shanghaied"[]

There was a rumor that in the original airing or in production as Squidward falls into the Fly of Despair in the third shot, bones and human remains appear in the background. This remains to be unconfirmed, but there is a good chance to be false, likely confusion from the viewers who saw the original airing to be the former instead of spaghetti and meatballs.[11][12]

There was an additional rumor that the episode might've been banned in the USA, due to the bones and human remains appearing on the fly of despair in the original airing. This was also proven to be false, due to the fact that Nickelodeon didn't premiere its sister episode "Gary Takes a Bath" at the time after its airing, and various airings on Nicktoons TV in 2002.

"Gary Takes a Bath"[]

There was also another rumor, that the episode was also banned from airing in the United States, due to executives think that the Subliminal message girl might scare children away. This was proven to be false due to various airings on Nicktoons TV in 2002.

"The Secret Box"[]

For years there was a rumor that many people claimed that they have seen the embarrassing photo of SpongeBob wearing a lamp shade over his head or wearing his underwear as Patrick reveals it in the original airing and early reruns. Another user from The Lost Media Wiki Sloucher112 claims that the photo in the original airing has SpongeBob passing out from drinking too much eggnog in his Christmas sweater and wearing a lampshade surrounded by cartons of eggnog, while Sandy and Squidward giggled at the background.[13][14] As of May 29, 2022, this was proved to be false by Vimeo user JTAG, who has a tape of the original airing.

The original airing on September 7, 2001, which proves the reveal of the embarrassing photo is fake.

"The Bully"[]

There was rumor that in the original airing, there was a scene of SpongeBob and Patrick playing leapfrog while being beaten up by Flats, instead of SpongeBob working at the Krusty Krab. This was soon proven to be false, and was likely a misinterpretation of a scene from "Bucket Sweet Bucket."

"Krusty Krab Training Video"[]

There was a rumor that in the original airing, there was a scene with the narrator saying, "It must never be discussed" when the formula is about to be revealed, then SpongeBob would trip. On August 28, 2018, the deleted scene was confirmed to have been false by a YouTube user named CDCB2, who has a tape with the original airing of this episode.[15]

"Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V"[]

For many years, there was a rumor that in the original airing there was a shot of a plane exploding from the sky, which got cut due to excessive violence or in respect of the victims from the attacks on September 11, 2001. This is was later false in 2014, due to the fact that the attacks already happened months after the episode aired and likely a misinterpretation from the storyboards.

"Clams"[]

There was a rumor that in the original that SpongeBob says "Actually, its Coral Blue Number 4" before being hit by Squidward, where it instead it was changed to Coral Blue Number 3 in later airings. Both of these scenes were soon to be false.

There were also rumors in the original airing, that there was a scene of Mr. Krabs talking on the phone to his deceased parents, likely a misinterpretation from the storyboard and unused production artwork.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie[]

For many years, fans of the show thought that the first movie was meant to be the chronological finale of the series, and that every episode that was released after the first movie actually takes place prior to it, creating a continuity. Fans came to this conclusion due to the amount of consecutive Employee of the Month awards SpongeBob won, which is 374. After counting all of that, this shows that SpongeBob worked at the Krusty Krab for at least 31 years. When asked about whenever that was the case, Vincent Waller on Twitter replied that he's not aware of that. He later rephrased his statement by saying that the first movie was never really meant to be a chronological finale by stating that the show doesn't have any form of continuity.[16][17][18][19]

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 780

For many years, a lot of people misremembered the Goofy Goober guitar design with the following discrepancies:

  • The color being either white or purple.
  • The guitar shape being v-shaped, star-shaped, or a double guitar.

The effect was noted online as early as 2019 and went viral on TikTok in late 2022.

"Dunces and Dragons"[]

The episode was rumored to have aired on Nickelodeon in Australia and New Zealand on February 16, 2006, 4 days before airing in the United States. But by August 2023, an Australian press release from July 2006 was discovered, says the episode premiered on July 29 on the same year[20], making this rumor to be debunked. This rumor also brought confusion, due to the episode premiered in New Zealand on a different channel from the same said date.[21]

"Karate Island"[]

For years, there were rumors that in the original airing of this episode, there was a small amount of blood on Master Udon's face after getting beaten up by Sandy. Vincent Waller on Twitter eventually debunked this in 2018.[22]

"Wishing You Well"[]

There was a rumor that in the original airing a glitch occured where a few minutes of its sister episode "All That Glitters" is showed at the beginning and ending with SpongeBob at the therapists office, before letting him say "You Can't Rush Perfection." This is likely false, due to confusion from both episodes during their premiere day on June 2, 2006.

"Friend or Foe?"[]

There was a rumor that the episode premiered in Australia on November 19, 2006.[23] This is however false, because there was no listing for the episode airing in the month of November 2006, nor anyone heard about this episode airing, likely due to confusion with various season 4 specials.

There was a rumor that it carried deleted scenes from the Australian airing, which is also false.[24]

"A Day Without Tears"[]

There was a rumor from TV Tropes in the original airing that after SpongeBob drops a Patty on the ground and throws it out. Squidward shouts out to SpongeBob with different dialogue. With Squidward tells SpongeBob "You know there's an old saying, SpongeBob." SpongeBob asks, "What is it?" Squidward answers, "Don't cry over a soiled Krabby Patty. And now may I give you a little word of advice... shut up!" And SpongeBob starts crying more. This was soon debunked on November 15, 2023, by a YouTuber named the TheSmartLucario who has a copy of the original airing.

"Squirrel Record"[]

It was originally thought that the episode included a scene where Sandy tried to beat the record for the world's fattest body, filling her with helium to break that record. Paul Tibbitt later deconfirmed it by claiming it to be false.[25]

"License to Milkshake"[]

It was rumored that the song "Milkshake" by Kelis was going to play in the episode. This has yet to be confirmed, and is unlikely to have happened due to licensing issues and the lewd nature of the song. [25] This rumor might have also been mixed up with and related to a promo for the episode a day before it premiered, which actually does play a snippet of the song.[26]

"Snail Mail"[]

Gary Mail

[27]

It was thought that the original plot of this episode was about Gary delivering mail, due to a drawing posted on Twitter by Vincent Waller prior to the episode's premiere. He later confirmed that the episode was never originally about that.[28]

Squidward's Suicide[]

"Squidward's Suicide" (also known as "Red Mist") is an urban legend written by an anonymous user from 7chan on October 4, 2006. The video can be seen here. This story was extremely popular and widely circulated in the early 2010s, and it introduced phrases that would be used in "copycat" Internet stories to the point of cliché, such as "hyper-realistic."

The narrator of the story claims to have worked at Viacom (the company that owns Nickelodeon and its shows) and received early access to future SpongeBob episodes. He recounts his experience watching the episode with other interns.

The most commonly-shared version recounts a disturbing and morbid episode (supposedly produced in place of "Fear of a Krabby Patty") about Squidward performing poorly at a clarinet recital. Squidward mourns his failure while illegal photos of dead children taken by a shadowy photographer flash as subliminal messages. The story culminates with a scene of Squidward in his room, having shot himself in the head. A popular image associated with the story depicts Squidward with bloodshot eyes. The "lost" episode has been recreated several times and in different formats on YouTube.

The episode "SpongeBob in RandomLand" briefly features a character known as Red Mist Squidward, which is a direct reference to the story. Additionally, Ego Plum composed a music track specifically for this character's scene, titled "Red Mist Cue." Storyboard artist Adam Paloian, writer Kaz, and showrunner Vincent Waller all confirmed that the reference was made intentionally to poke fun at "truly silly, 'trying to be dark' fan fiction."[29] The scene featuring Red Mist Squidward was cut in UK airings due to its frightening nature, and was later replaced with Baby Squidward in US airings in November 2019 for the same reason.

SpongeBob's Fresh Start[]

SpongeBob's Fresh Start is a trollpasta. The story has a similar plot to Squidward's Suicide. The only real difference between the stories is that it is a retelling of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song but with SpongeBob instead of Will Smith.

The Story of Evil SpongeBob[]

The story is a parody of killeryoshis's The Story of Evil Elmo. The story starts by saying that SpongeBob turned evil; he killed all his friends, including the Bikini Bottomites, committed crimes like bank robberies, bombings, drug dealing, and shooting innocent fish. This video was taken down by YouTube due to violating community guidelines, and the channel that made the video has been terminated since 2017.

SpongeBob Bootleg Episode[]

SB Bootleg

Spongebob Bootleg Episode (Creepypasta)

The original upload on YouTube.

The SpongeBob Bootleg Episode is a creepypasta about an edited version of "Dumped." The only image in it was a picture of SpongeBob with big, bloodshot eyes and no mouth. The rest was either color images or black screens. Most versions of the image are actually animated GIFs that feature SpongeBob blinking once the viewers stares at it long enough.

Plankton Got Served (Creepypasta)[]

Not to be confused with the working title for "One Coarse Meal".

This Creepypasta revolves around an alternative version to the episode "One Coarse Meal" that was supposedly available on the Nick.com website. This version of the episode according to the viewer, actually has Plankton being run over by a bus after SpongeBob fails to convince him that Mr. Krabs was just using a Pearl disguise costume. Plankton is then sent to a purgatory-like area, with lots of whales swimming in the void, and sees his family there telling him to join them. Plankton also sees a light above him, but overwhelmed with fate, decides to plunge into the darkness.

The viewer also states that the reason why barely any footage of this version of the episode exists is because it was only up on the website for a rather extremely short amount of time, as the episode was then replaced with the actual episode.

Theh Storry Off Squidwarrrxxxx[]

"Theh Storry Off Squidwarrxxxx" is a trollpasta (poorly written creepypasta) made in 2017. It involves a viewer wanting to watch SpongeBob SquarePants on TV and instead watching an episode called "Theh Story Off Squidwarrrxxxx" They decide to watch the episode, which involves SpongeBob annoying Squidward, causing the latter to commit suicide by jumping out of his second floor window. After viewing the episode, the narrator's television set melts. This Trollpasta became semi-popular after PhantomStrider included it in his Top 6 Worst SpongeBob Creepypasta's Video.

The trollpasta may have also been inspired by another trollpasta, which is also known as "EVIL PATRIXXX."

A Day With SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie[]

ADWSBSP

Supposed "DVD cover" for the movie.

A Day with SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie is an nonexistent mockumentary that was said to be distributed by Reagal Films and MVD. The movie has been postponed, but the director plans to make the film through a crowdfunding effort. In this mockumentary, SpongeBob lives above ground like all Hollywood superstars. Afraid that SpongeBob is becoming old news, his boss runs a contest called "Spend a Day with SpongeBob." The contest makes SpongeBob the talk of the town, as thousands of kids enter to win. The lucky winner is Seth, and he is ecstatic about his day with SpongeBob. However, the day becomes a roller coaster ride as things don’t go quite the way they planned. For a while, this film was said to be lost, until is was debunked as no such film ever existed.

The Bikini Bottom Horror[]

The Bikini Bottom Horror is a horror webcomic written by the Redditor u/stillinthesimulation on the subreddit r/ImSorryJon. The series originated with a comic parodying how starfishes eat in real life, with a deranged Patrick consuming SpongeBob with his ejected stomach.

SpongeBob Adult Party Cartoon[]

SpongeBob Adult Party Cartoon - Television Urban Legends

LSuperSonicQ's video on the topic

A rumor that Spike once approached Stephen Hillenburg to make a adult version of the show similar to Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" but was turned down by Stephen (who Nickelodeon sided with him).

Rumors about a fan who drowned trying to find SpongeBob[]

The_Fan_Who_Drowned_Trying_to_Visit_SpongeBob_-_Cartoon_Urban_Legend_(2002)

The Fan Who Drowned Trying to Visit SpongeBob - Cartoon Urban Legend (2002)

LSuperSonicQ's video on the topic

There were false rumors circulating that a child had tragically drowned in the ocean while attempting to search for SpongeBob in real life, which allegedly led to Nickelodeon canceling the series. However, these rumors were later confirmed to be entirely false, created by concerned parents who wanted to discourage their children from venturing into the ocean unsupervised. In reality, there have been no incidents directly linking the show to such tragic events.[30]

Rumors about SpongeBob ending[]

There were false rumors circulating that has announcements or images of SpongeBob ending. However, these rumors were later confirmed to be entirely false, created usually by trolls, or created for April Fools' Day.

7/25/2005[]

This creepypasta was inspired by a video by the same name by a YouTuber called "niceANDcool", which involves a person watching SpongeBob on the night of July 25, 2005 and experiencing a creepy broadcast glitch on the episode Your Shoe's Untied, featuring a frame of SpongeBob's body floating in the air, in a black void. There was also another video which expands on the original video, detailing a broadcast glitch on Gary Takes a Bath, featuring a frame of SpongeBob and Gary, smiling and staring at the screen. The creepypasta started gaining popularity when Youtuber PigPigGamer made a video explaining the creepypasta which you can watch here.

SpongeBob on Adult Swim[]

There was a long-standing, persistent rumor that the show was originally meant to be an adult cartoon; supposedly, it was pitched to [adult swim] before getting picked up by Nickelodeon. The fact that Adult Swim didn’t even exist in 1999 alone makes the rumour dubious, and the 1997 "SpongeBoy Ahoy" pitch decidedly proves it wrong as said document features no age-inappropriate content and repeatedly stresses the appeal of SpongeBob and his world to the show's intended kid audience. The rumor is likely a result of SpongeBob's infamy for its Demographically Inappropriate Humor.

Fan theories[]

Seven Deadly Sins Theory[]

7 deadly sins theory

Chart of the theory.

This theory states that the main characters may be based on the seven deadly sins:

  • SpongeBob is theorized as being the sin of lust, due to his character showing constant love for others, by some people, the sin of lust is believed to be Pearl.
  • Mr. Krabs is theorized as being the sin of greed, due to a main focus of his character being his love for money.
  • Squidward is theorized as being the sin of wrath, due to him showing heavy disdain for many things on the show.
  • Plankton is theorized as being the sin of envy, due to him going to the extreme for the Chum Bucket to be more successful than the Krusty Krab.
  • Sandy is theorized as being the sin of pride, due to her being very proud of who she is.
  • Patrick is theorized as being the sin of sloth, as he is shown to be very lazy and laid back on the show.
  • Gary is theorized as being the sin of gluttony, as a reference to SpongeBob often feeding him, by some people, the sin of gluttony is believed to be Mrs. Puff.

Nuclear Testing Theory[]

This popular internet fan theory states that the intelligent life of the sea creatures in Bikini Bottom is the result of nuclear radiation, as the Bikini Atoll that exists above it was used a nuclear testing site by the United States in real life. The radiation from the nukes is theorized to have caused the sea life below to mutate and evolve into Bikini Bottomites. Fans also noted Sandy's full protection suit, with them stating how it can be a radioactive hazmat suit, as well as stating how this theory is an explanation to the jokes relating to explosions on the show.

Although, there are contradictions to this theory, such as the undersea towns on the show that are located outside Bikini Bottom, although, some fans back this up by stating how Bikini Bottomites reproduced and immigrated to other parts of the ocean. A bigger contradiction is the prehistoric versions of Bikini Bottom seen in "SB-129" and "Ugh" that prove Bikini Bottom existed long before the nuclear testing did.

This theory, along with the Seven Deadly Sins Theory, have been debunked by SpongeBob's voice actor, Tom Kenny, in a 2015 interview with Huffpost.[31] He confirmed that the fictitious city is named after Bikini Atoll.

Krabby Patty Secret Formula Theories[]

Due to the Krabby Patty secret formula remaining a mystery throughout the show, it's no surprise that the formula has been subjected to many fan theories,[32] these theories include:

  • Crab Meat: Many people in the show's fanbase often picture the Krabby Patty secret formula to be crabs, making Mr. Krabs a cannibal. Despite this being such a common theory, there is little evidence to support it. People support this theory by stating that there are very few crabs in Bikini Bottom, and that in the episode "Mid-Life Crustacean", Mr. Krabs takes a bite out of a Krabby Patty and says "So that's what I taste like.", however, said quote is taken out of context as during that scene he was eating a Krabby Patty that was being figuratively compared to him due to it being old and dried out like he is. This theory was debunked by Nickelodeon's Instagram account, stating "We can 100 percent confirm Krabby Patties are not made of crabs."[33]
  • Whale Meat: Another theory that has gained some popularity is that the Krabby Patties are made from whale meat. This theory is supported by how in real life, whale carcasses are a food source for various marine life, and can even be able to fuel an entire ecosystem, hence the reason why Krabby Patties are loved by many. This theory also ties into Pearl's mother, suggesting that Mr. Krabs could've come across her carcass and built his the Krusty Krab around it.
  • Marketing Ploy: A theory thought up by Matthew Robert Patrick, also known as MatPat, who is known for his theories on video games, films, and other forms of fiction, suggests that the Krabby Patty secret formula isn't real and was just a marketing ploy set up Mr. Krabs.[34] MatPat supports this by stating how the Krusty Krab is more focused on the money than its food, much like real life fast food restaurants, and uses the formula to make Krabby Patties appear better to the customers. This theory also suggests that SpongeBob is unaware that the formula isn't real, due to it being out of character for him to support lies and deception without feeling any guilt. He also brings up real life studies on how people's feelings towards a product are linked to psychology and how they feel about the product, and how creating a fake secret formula would cause profit.

Skin Theory[]

Skin Theory is the name of many instances of characters in the early seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants being seen wearing and removing suits and false body parts from their person, and how this action is seen as normal in Bikini Bottom. The theory was originally created by Doug Woolever on YouTube.

Video edits[]

Sparta Remixes[]

This is Patrick- Sparta Remix (V2)

Example

Since 2007, Sparta Remixes are a series of mashup videos on YouTube with techno music, the word "Sparta" came from a clip of the film 300, which was a internet meme along with the former. The earliest known SpongeBob-related videos that would follow the fad is clips from "Big Pink Loser," "Something Smells," and "Artist Unknown."

SpongeBob (Speedy)[]

Spongebob_Squarepants_Theme_Song(Speedy)

Spongebob Squarepants Theme Song(Speedy)

Example

Many SpongeBob episodes posted on YouTube are often sped up, in order to avoid being taken down from Viacom (who own Nickelodeon, which airs and produces SpongeBob). It is one of the oldest SpongeBob-related phenomena on YouTube dating back to pre-copyright removal status which has been around since 2007. They can be specified as two types: Chipmunk and non-Chipmunk. Chipmunk is based from Alvin and the Chipmunks, as the characters' voices have been made higher-pitched. Non-Chipmunk involves the characters speaking with their regular voices (making them easier to understand), but the rest of the episode is sped up.

SpongeBob Backwards/Reverse[]

Spongebob_Intro_In_Reverse

Spongebob Intro In Reverse

Example

This features episodes of SpongeBob played in reverse to express humor and at times, people notice hidden sentences in it. A similar phenomenon called "SpongeBob Theme Song in Reverse" plays the song backwards often with lyrics showing it has inappropriate lyrics in reverse (especially on "Drop on the deck and flop like a fish"). There is also a phenomenon in which SpongeBob and Patrick speak backwards from "Opposite Day" played in reverse to show what they are really saying.

The image version started around 2016, with the video variant starting later.

SpongeBob doxxing your IP Address[]

Spongebob_IP_Address_Compilation

Spongebob IP Address Compilation

Compilation of the SpongeBob doxxing your IP Address videos.

SpongeBob doxxing your IP Address is a series of YouTube videos which uses a fake IP address text over a random picture of SpongeBob and some stock music as well as music from the YouTube Audio Library.

SpongeDubs / SpongeBob Sings X[]

SpongeDubs is a YouTuber who takes clips of SpongeBob saying words, cuts and edits them, and sets them on tune with famous songs. The first known sponge dub that SpongeDubs made is SpongeBob singing Bruno Mars's song, "That's What I Like," in April 2017. Over a year later, he made & posted more dubs of SpongeBob singing songs. There are others who make / have made their own "SpongeBob sings" videos—also known as sponge dubs—that use / have used the same technique of audio & video editing as SpongeDubs's sponge dubs.

Numerous SpongeBob song covers have been made with Uberduck's SpongeBob SquarePants TalkNet model that possesses the function with which SpongeBob's voice can be made to speak and/or sing in the rhythm & pitch of what is spoken and/or sung in a reference audio that is used on the website.

Rock Motto (AKA Spingebill Goes Into A Horrifying Dimension)

The original upload on YouTube.

Rock Motto (more commonly known as "SpingeBill Goes Into A Horrifying Dimension") is a YouTube Poop uploaded by ThatGuyPoops which became popular for being creepy at the same time as being funny. It has become a creepypasta, mainly due to Plankton's disturbing appearance in the video. It is likely parodying the episode "Rock Bottom," since the title card is using a messed up version of the original, and the video also contains clips from "Rock Bottom."[35]

Mr. Krabs cursing crossover[]

Mr.krabs_cursing_crossover-2

Mr.krabs cursing crossover-2

An example of this crossover video.

Mr. Krabs cursing crossover was a remix and reaction videos of other SpongeBob and non-SpongeBob characters to Mr. Krabs saying all 13 bad words in season 2 episode "Sailor Mouth," It shows Mr. Krabs swearing after he hit his foot on a rock, and in his pain, he shouts all thirteen expletives curse words. During that scene it shows shocked other characters from other series. It started on February 3, 2018 by a YouTuber named Malik Young.

Pirated DVD intro using the main character's name.

Pirated Bob Esponja CD

An example of a pirated CD slapped with the character on the bottom right.

In the mid-2000s, throughout its popularity in Latin America (especially Mexico and Peru), pirated DVD productions such as Fat Records and Producciones Superman would release the first movie and episodes (Spanish versions from the official DVDs) in a single DVD disc with other media in a thin DVD box or sealed in plastic. In other cases, most pirated DVDs are often recorded from via phone, in one example during the theatrical run of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water in Latin America, DVDs were sold through the markets in villages and also onto pirated Spanish websites in bad quality.

Pirated DVD productions would use the main character's name. Such as Producciones Bob Esponja uses the titular character on its intro and on everything from DVDs and album covers. Music videos and animations from video sharing websites are shoved as bonus features, an example of a music video titled "bob ella y yo" which uses clips from the The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie with the song "Ella y Yo" from the band Aventura.[36] Various video edits of "Sweet Victory" from "Band Geeks"[37] and the "Camp Fire Song Song" from "The Camping Episode"[38] dubbed with a Latin Spanish track.

SpongeBob SquarePants (Sega Mega Drive)[]

Spongebob 000

This bootleg game was released in 2012 for the Sega Mega Drive by a Russian company called KDS. It is a ROM hack of the European version of Virgin Games' Cool Spot.

SPONGEBOB IN TEHRAN The Weird Persian Bootleg SpongeBob Ripoff

Review of the movie SpongeBob in Tehran by 'A.S.K. Air'.

SpongeBob in Tehran is an unauthorized film released around 2017 made by the same company that made the illegal Persian dub, which was never found until 2020. The movie involves SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward all heading to the Iranian capital of Tehran to get the secret sauce recipe that Mr. Krabs told them to get. The poster uses stock art from the cover of Plankton's Robotic Revenge, and also through the entire movie, some of the backgrounds from the show and the first 2 movies were used. There is also a YouTube video that had the correct English translations, but it was soon taken down by Paramount Global. There are also sequels unrelated to the film, all of which have also been taken down from YouTube. Those sequels are:

  • SpongeBob in Chabahar, which is live action and uses mascot costumes.
  • Bobby and Bobo in Iran: Save the Sibyl Gold, which features blatant clones of the characters.
  • SpongeBob Foreign Buddies (also known as SpongeBob's Alien Friends), which simply uses the characters' regular designs.


Websites[]

15.ai, FakeYou, and Uberduck[]

15.ai, FakeYou, and Uberduck are three websites where users can generate text-to-speech voice synthesis audio clips of famous celebrities and cartoon characters, such as SpongeBob. They are free to use. However, although 15.ai's TTS voice software can generate AI-synthesized voice clips that are more natural-sounding than FakeYou's and Uberduck's, 15.ai's website undergoes maintenance downtime more times than it is up, making the services of FakeYou and Uberduck the more available, publicly accessible websites for people to use SpongeBob text-to-speech voices than 15.ai. Sometimes, Uberduck and FakeYou undergo website downtime too, but less frequently than 15.ai does. Uberduck contributors also make AI voice models of characters & people that have the ability to synthesize singing results.[1]

On uberduck.ai, there are three variant models of SpongeBob's voice:

  • The "post-sequel" SpongeBob voice model has been trained with voice data from the "modern" era of the franchise, AKA 2015⁠–⁠present.
  • The "pre-movie" SpongeBob voice model has been trained with voice data from season 2.
  • The "regular" SpongeBob voice model has been trained with voice data from multiple SpongeBob SquarePants video games, especially those that were released in the post-movie era.

Uses in Internet Content[]

The YouTuber Negan Jeffrey posts SpongeBob song cover videos on YouTube that he has made with uberduck's SpongeBob SquarePants (regular) TalkNet model. Also, the YouTuber TheFactory occasionally posts SpongeBob song cover videos on YouTube that he has made with uberduck.ai, some of which have gone viral, with his most popular one being SpongeBob and Patrick rap "Family Ties" (amazing brother). Furthermore, the rap artist YourBoySponge uses uberduck's SpongeBob SquarePants (regular) TalkNet model to make SpongeBob rap original rap songs composed by the artist himself.

As of June 21, 2022, the most popular SpongeBob song cover video on YouTube that has been made with uberduck's SpongeBob SquarePants (regular) TalkNet model is SpongeBob sings Super Idol EXTENDED VERSION, which has received more than 4,000,000 views, 6,800+ comments, and over 122,000 likes.

Besides SpongeBob song covers, many memes, parodies, and other edits have been made with uberduck's SpongeBob Tacotron 2 models, some of which have gone viral, having received millions of views on YouTube. Significant examples of which are SpongeBob Meets his Past Self and Hey Patrick, Spell Kid Among Us Backwards. However, a majority of the videos that have been made with uberduck's SpongeBob voice models do not properly state / let viewers know the sources of the AI-synthetic SpongeBob speech that's featured in them, consequently misleading many people to assume and falsely believe that the AI-synthetic SpongeBob speech is from 15.ai or fakeyou.com — This misattribution and absence of proper credit has resulted in 15.ai's terms of service having a rule that forbids having 15.ai-and-non-15.ai-generated speech in the same videos and projects.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Experience, a book by animation historian Jerry Beck, uses this fanart by DeviantArt user EnterPraiz for Barnacle Boy's image. EnterPraiz did not release his fanart under Creative Commons, so it seems Jerry Beck took the fanart without permission and without checking to see its license. Barnacle Boy's arm on the fanart is even obviously airbrushed to remove the other side of it, where EnterPraiz put Mermaid Man and his artist signature. DeviantArt has also been very popular for SpongeBob memes such as X Drops by Squidward's House and "Does this look dangerous?".
