Spongebob Squarepants Jellyfish Hunter
ok, i'm 25 years old and sometimes i truly believe that the best thing on tv is spongebob squarepants. whether this is a comment on the quality of tv in general or the quality of spongebob squarepants, i'll let you decide. anyway i had it on today while i was making some caramel corn and this episode was on that i think some vegans might find to be a nice metaphor for milk/egg production.... or maybe i'm stretching it a bit, but still...
so spongebob makes "jelly" from jellyfish he captures (and then releases), and he puts it on the krabby patties at the fast food place where he works. the customers try the jelly and love it, so spongebob's boss (mr. krabs) has him go out and collect lots of jellyfish so he can make a ton of the jelly.
by the time enough jellyfish have been collected there are almost none left in town, and spongebob becomes upset when he stumbles upon the jelly-making factory that mr. krabs set up for jelly production. the jellyfish are all confined and they have to be harshly prodded and squeezed in order to make the jelly. spongebob puts up a protest, exclaiming that the jellyfish "need wide open space and fresh air!" then he frees all the jellyfish, yelling "freeeedom!". he does say that he'll only hunt them for sport from now on, but the jellyfish seem friendly with him.
a choice quote is when spongebob is nearing the jellyfish factory, he notices how gross it is and says, "P-U, smells like big business."
you can watch it here, if you're curious, it takes a couple minutes to load, but it's only about 10 minutes long: http://www.nick.com/turbonick/index.jhtml?extvideoid=46123
yesss! that sounds awesome! i personally dont like spongebob, but this sounds really good.
I love Spongebob to pieces. I haven't seen that episode! I'll have to watch it. It sounds awesome. Thanks for posting!
haha I've seen that one! I think I had watched them all..at one point. Every time I turned it over to watch..I had seen the episode that was on.
Is that the same one where the jellyfish (and the giant one) are after him? Or is that a different one (I think maybe multiple ones)?
Spongebob is great! :D
I'm not the biggest spongebob fan, but occasionally I let my kids watch it. This one sounds pretty good and enlightening. Little spongebob is does tend to grow on people.

I don't like Spongebob either, but THAT is awesome.

There are so many things like that in Spongebob, though! That's what I love about it...so clever. I know some episodes can get out of hand-it is for kids after all........but I love all of the clever additions for adults.
I just watched it. It's a good one! Spongebob is great. He is not interested in judging people, he just wants to be friends with everyone. He really is an awesome character. And I love his jellyfishing glasses. 8-)

yep, i think that's a different one, where the "queen" jellyfish goes after him, i forget why! i also love all the clever 'adult' jokes they put in the show.

i think it should load after just clicking on it. there's a 30-second nickelodeon ad first and then it loads the spongebob intro & the episode.
ha! sounds like something i might want to show in my classes this fall
(i love inserting little vegan things when i can)
YES!

My trouble with Spongebob is the voices. I have synasthesia and the voice they use for him is like nails down a blackboard, only I *feel* it--like an itch you can't reach. I'm glad there's some content in it.

wasn't that the one with the jellyfishing club? Spongebob was fanatic about the guy that headed the club (Kevin.. looked like a pickle with a crown on his head), but Kevin thought he was a loser and used Spongebob to get the queen jellyfish, then the club guys showed up in a fake king jellyfish costume and the queen chased him away instead of hurting Spongebob.
the different jellyfish in the episode we're talking about is the blue jellyfish Spongebob referred to as "old no-name" because it was the only jellyfish he hadn't been able to catch
Yes. I watch Spongebob. Every day.
(and everything else for that matter ;))
sounds cool... but i am in the not liking sponge bob club, too. maybe i should convert, though i don't watch tv at all.

nice! that sounds right
I just watched it. Pretty good episode. Seems a lot like they were attacking the egg industry but they didn't specifically mention that, but that is what it seemed like to me. I like spongebob but I don't have cable so I can't watch it unless somebody posts a link to watch it on the internet as this case was, thanks!
