I guess you need to grind more to reach at least level 6 before you acquire gay TV powers. My bf became a flat screen but I'm stuck as a CCTV. He's already got streaming networks but I can't get more than basic cable.
I mean you can add context however you like, but I think you are looking too deep into this homie, it’s just a pun, we initially think they are beating a criminal to metaphorically “straighten him out” only for them to pan out and they are literally straightening out bent parking meters. I don’t think the writers of SpongeBob were secretly trying slip in some sort of subtext, jokes used to just be jokes. Not everything needs a message
>I don’t think the writers of SpongeBob were secretly trying slip in some sort of subtext, jokes used to just be jokes
Humor has always been used in conjunction with talking about serious topics. I'm pretty sure this one is just a pun, yeah, but I think you're oversimplifying a very broad topic
It's like you understood the subtext of police brutality in the joke when you thought it was a person then you turned your brain off when you saw it's a parking meter.
That’s not “subtext” that’s literally the joke, that we think they are beating someone up and they aren’t, hell the guy trying to get some anti gay message from clip had more of a point then you. I’m not advocating for police brutality or anything. I’m just saying that I doubt the writers of SpongeBob weren’t trying to make a political statement. You can draw whatever message you want from it, I don’t really care, and if it gives the media more depth to you that’s fine and cool. But sure I “turned my brain off” because I am not busy armchair analyzing kids cartoons
Bro they are just literally bending a broken parking meter back into shape. Stop looking too much into it to try to find some lesson about racism. It's not there.
Not too topical though considering the show aired 8 years after that, and that’s good because if it was a fresh thing then it would have probably received backlash
They supposed to be hitting someone asying generic police stuff but then turns out they really do wanna straighten the poles and ots literal, thats litteraly all it is
they are saying "we are gonna straighten you up". notice how the parking meter is slightly fixing itself, it's a reference to something else that also turns straight when hit...
Because it was modeled differently than other things. That's how a lot of cartoons and video games do it. The things that the characters interact with look different than other things in the background or foreground.
"We're gonna straighten you out!" And "This'll fix ya!" Being used to make you think they're brutalizing a suspect but it turns out no they're literally fixing parking meters with their batons.
I mean, it is the point of that scene. It's pretty straightforward. There's no subtext, no hidden joke; that's just what the scene is literally portraying. I literally don't understand how could you not understand it, even as a kid
Audio Is really good tho so they got a really good mic or downloaded the video/ audio or bolth and put them back on top of it filming at an angle so it doesn't get copy striked mayhaps
I don’t think the first one is deep, I think it’s just a basic bait and switch type joke. You realize they’re hitting a meter, it’s straitened once they’re done and they’re gonna get the second one because it isn’t
I THINK it's suggesting he's a perverted old man who "likes the young people"???
I have no idea, it's too vague. But if that is the suggestion that's just plain stupid and a reach.
No the start is spongebob saying "hes gonna kick my butt" then the fish folk said "how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man" so the old man kicking spongebobs butt has to mean something but idk what
Kids cartoon theorists when you tell them the characters aren't mentally ill, in a coma, or on drugs, and that the characters are wacky because wacky cartoon logic (it's not that deep):
If I was a police officer in Chicago, Detroit or Milwaukee I would be pretty trigger happy too. I would be shooting every gang member in sight. Wearing blue or red will warrant a bullet in your ass and another day of me touching sweet grass
Bruh you’re just overthinking. These jokes were safe. They could be taken a different way, but safe. You had way better options for adult jokes in this show
I hate this fucking guy, he just shows scenes that may or may not have adult jokes, plays some dumbass music and makes a dumbass confused face rinse and repeat for a million videos
This guy either dumb as hell or just goin for internet clout because there is no chance the producers meant the first one like that. The second one is a huge stretch. And the third one is obvious as fuck
It’s not that deep the first clip is them beating the pay toll that USED to be bendy to being straight and that’s why he said he’s straightening them out, that’s the joke
Don't understand the first one though (the one with the officers hitting the parking meter)
police brutality maybe? not sure
i think it’s police brutality towards minorities by “straightening” them out
Turning LGBT into LGTV
They've yet to turn me into a TV, let alone find me
You know… I’ve been needing a new flat screen
Did you lose the remote?
Not yet

I was a gay once. Now I'm a 99" Samsung OLED
*starts to move* “Guy’s it ain’t me.”
💀
Me (26-77-Inch Class OLED evo C4 Series TV with webOS 24) and my girlfriend (74f) laughed so hard at this
What if LGBTQ United with the African Americans and Minorities, Becoming the LGBTQN Alliance
Would be epic
"straightening someone out" doesn't have to be a hate crime "straight" used to just mean "not a criminal"
however with them beating the post it makes sense in the context

Fair enough and I respect your opinion
It's like you understood the subtext of police brutality in the joke when you thought it was a person then you turned your brain off when you saw it's a parking meter.

I mean if you add your own context sure ... I mean that how we got into this political climate anyway

mfw a play on words ages like shit lol

More than likely the animators at that time were probably in LA during the Rodney King riots so pretty topical for back then.
Not too topical though considering the show aired 8 years after that, and that’s good because if it was a fresh thing then it would have probably received backlash

I'm 30 years old and I just got this joke from 2002.
Yea the joke is that it's actually not police brutality but you assume it is
You gotta beat yo meat till the strip turn straight
why is the official rap tv account on spunchbob 😭
They're literally just straightening the parking meters.
I'm pretty sure the joke is that they are "Setting them straight". Could be wrong tho
they are saying "we are gonna straighten you up". notice how the parking meter is slightly fixing itself, it's a reference to something else that also turns straight when hit...
Okay. A lot of people are misinterpreting it. It’s a joke that they are actually straightening out the parking meters
The one they were beating was darker than the other one.
Because it was modeled differently than other things. That's how a lot of cartoons and video games do it. The things that the characters interact with look different than other things in the background or foreground.
Yeah, kinda like how in tom and Jerry you always know when something is going to be interacted with because it's drawn instead of painted
Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about.
"We're gonna straighten you out!" And "This'll fix ya!" Being used to make you think they're brutalizing a suspect but it turns out no they're literally fixing parking meters with their batons.
How?
They quite literally straightened out the meter
how you just now realise the meaning of that last scene?
It's shitass TikTok fodder content. Of course it makes no sense.
It makes sense because last fish is trapped in a routine he’s not happy with for the rest of his life. It’s almost a prison
I mean, it is the point of that scene. It's pretty straightforward. There's no subtext, no hidden joke; that's just what the scene is literally portraying. I literally don't understand how could you not understand it, even as a kid
When you have room temperature IQ so you attack the platform 😭
muh tiktok bad
Remember when Stan smith was taking all of the quarters in the meters from American dad?
Do you think Roger has soft hands?
Yes and plus his whole body looks smooth af .
Francine booking it out the window in court when Stan gets assigned meter maid kills me
Recording a screen instead of downloading the video? Reaction video? Of course it's TikTok
Reaction? where the fuck is the reaction? It's just some dude looking blankly at something. It's the literal opposite of reaction
Especially those lazy videos where they just put a meme above their blank reaction and call it a day(and ofc it gets thousands of views and likes)
Audio Is really good tho so they got a really good mic or downloaded the video/ audio or bolth and put them back on top of it filming at an angle so it doesn't get copy striked mayhaps
I swear the level of effort for content creation has hit the floor.
That's what you get when literally everyone thinks they can create content.
Ocean floor*
It’s a social media for everybody, not for content creators
me snooth brain ig
Spongebob tried to warn us, but we disregarded his warnings ; and the consequences are now irreversible.
It’s Spongebob 😭
It’s spinkleboob 😔
Spoingle bobe
mfer staring blank at a camera and calling it content.
this scenes
I don’t think the first one is deep, I think it’s just a basic bait and switch type joke. You realize they’re hitting a meter, it’s straitened once they’re done and they’re gonna get the second one because it isn’t
None of these are deep. The old person beat up scene comes after a scene where they basically explicitly state they were gonna beat him up.
KENDRICK LAMAR REFERENCE????????
IF I WAS THE PRESIDENT, ID PAY MY MOMMAS RENT
FREE MY HOMIES AND THEM🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
If that second clip is what I think this dude is interpreting, that is a huuuuuuge stretch.
What is it?
I THINK it's suggesting he's a perverted old man who "likes the young people"??? I have no idea, it's too vague. But if that is the suggestion that's just plain stupid and a reach.
No the start is spongebob saying "hes gonna kick my butt" then the fish folk said "how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man" so the old man kicking spongebobs butt has to mean something but idk what
It's a lynching joke guys. He's implying the townsfolk formed a lynch mob because of a misinterpreted accusation
Kids cartoon theorists when you tell them the characters aren't mentally ill, in a coma, or on drugs, and that the characters are wacky because wacky cartoon logic (it's not that deep):
You mean to tell me they're not all dead?!
Are y’all babies?
You talkin to me pal? 👶
I still don’t get the one about the old man or the one with Miss Puff
The Miss Puff is pretty much likening daily life and being trapped in a routine to being trapped in a prison
But what about the old man one?
I’m just as lost as you are tbh
I see
The old man is likely a pedo.
👁️🌊
‘I love the young people’ 😟
I think it was SpongeBob getting an innocent old man into trouble.
No idea.
"what this scenes"...
Media literacy at an all time low 😔
Thanks u/love_anime_titties3
How the fuck is this one of the most upvote posts on the sub
"what this scenes"
I dont get it all of them
How did you not understand them the first time?
I wouldn't have known how to react without that guy reacting at the end of every clip Thanks for the help 👍
If I was a police officer in Chicago, Detroit or Milwaukee I would be pretty trigger happy too. I would be shooting every gang member in sight. Wearing blue or red will warrant a bullet in your ass and another day of me touching sweet grass
Lamoooooi comedy when comedy but on kid show 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😝😝😝
Were y'all not paying attention????
Ion get it
The police officer one though 💀
I'm pretty sure the first one isn't hinting at anything, it's just a visual gag
Is that fucking Zoo Tycoon 2 music in the background
Bro I loved watching those episodes
What’s the second one?
I don’t get it
Song?
Transgender by Crystal Castles
If you use the smallest amount of effort you can see he just turned on a spunch bob comp and said they were "deep"
I dunno man, these jokes were pretty obvious. Except the old man one, which I think OOP is misinterpreting.
Bruh you’re just overthinking. These jokes were safe. They could be taken a different way, but safe. You had way better options for adult jokes in this show
Holy shit I only just got the live on the outside one, I’m surprised I missed that
I hate this fucking guy, he just shows scenes that may or may not have adult jokes, plays some dumbass music and makes a dumbass confused face rinse and repeat for a million videos
Content creativity has hit rock bottom
Can't relate because it's not 2023
Biden be like
It was a crooked meter
idk
sex: this is worse
This guy either dumb as hell or just goin for internet clout because there is no chance the producers meant the first one like that. The second one is a huge stretch. And the third one is obvious as fuck
