SpongeBob: Every Line Has Its Ending
Back in 2004, my dad was ending his career with Nickelodeon to retire or become a waiter at my local diner. He decided to grab some tapes from the vault for memories. Stephen Hillenburg said to be careful with the SpongeBob ones because he might run into some episodes banned from television made by crazy people. To go out on a limb here, he didn't find Squidward's Suicide or Red Mist. The only popular thing he found was Crybaby Lane, which hadn't been seen since its first and only airing. Back to the story, he found varieties of tapes. (Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Ren and Stimpy Show)
In 2010, I was doing some cleaning. I called John to see if he could help, but he was "too busy" as usual. I got bored so I dug into the box. I found my hand holding 2 tapes: one that said "SpongeBob SquarePants: Every Line Has Its Ending" and one that said "Rugrats: Mommy Mania". I picked SpongeBob because I had never heard of it. I scouted the Internet for any signs of information, but nothing came up. The box art was amazing. It had a happy Squidward smiling and SpongeBob and Patrick dancing in the background, all in front of the Krusty Krab. It said it had three episodes: Every Line Has Its Ending, Police Guys, and To the City. Seemed fair, but all those episodes are ones I didn't hear of. I was interested. I pulled out the tape itself. I though it would have a super-fancy title sticker to match the box, but it seemed to just be a yellow stick with slender-black lines and in blue sharpie, the title was written. I didn't mind. So then I popped it in my VHS hopping for a fantastic time. I was wrong, very wrong.
At first I got a blue screen for 3 minutes. I was just about to pull the tape out when a main menu came up. Same old cheery music. The tiny clip-show above the choices had 3 clips. Squidward being chased by the Bikini Bottom police, Squidward running in front of police cars while they are chasing him, and Squidward lifting weights. I wondered why there were not any other characters were present except Squidward and the police. I clicked play. I got the normal intro, but the "Oooooooooooo!" part was silent, I originally thought it was just because the tape was old. It was just made about a month ago, though. The title card had the "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" theme and was just a pale blue background with red words in Comic Sans MS Bold. I was starting to think it was a bootleg. The episode started with Squidward in a a gym doing push-ups, then lifting weights (as seen in the clip-show), and then bench-pressing. He then said "I'm ready for my good deed, unders." I was wondering what the hell he was talking about. He then ran home.
When he got there, he got in his boat-mobile and drove to the Krusty Krab. He stormed right into Mr. Krabs's office. Mr. Krabs was taking a bath in money. Squidward ran over and punched Mr. Krabs in the stomach. A close up of his eyes occurred and he was bawling hard. His shell was nearly 50% wrecked. Squidward's hand was covered in blood. It looked a bit like liquidy paint that wasn't dry. Mr. Krabs fell backwards, took one last gasp of air, put his hand over the wound, and died.
Squidward stole a different boat-mobile and drove out. He didn't care to look, and hit a family of 3 (young mother & father with a baby boy) with the boat. The same blood is seen, with guts, brains, and bones all over. He then drove to his house and parked his car.
The credits taught me a lot.

Does any of the names look familiar? Hmmm...
I was trying to comprehend what I just watched when "Police Guys" came up. The title card looked ugly. A beige-yellow background and brown text. The episode came on with a very fuzzy look and fuzzy audio but after 21 seconds it cleared up, revealing very clean graphics. It resembled fan art or sketches.
The episode begins with Squidward running out of his house with 4 shotguns, a backpack of ammo and pistols, 3 AK-47s, a katana, assorted knives and grenades, and rubbing alcohol.
