Line 13:
There was only a single note of the theme song and it cut to him with Patrick. They were doing their usual antics as they did in the show, running around and laughing. Then Spongebob saw something, it was shiny and white. He looked over at it with curiosity, but before he could get over to walk to it, Patrick called out his name. Spongebob immediately ran over to him, but stopped half way.
He then quickly glanced back over to the object, looking over his shoulder, then over to his friend, then back at the shiny object. "My friend needs me, but that thing over there looks pretty
"Barnacles, my curiosity got the best of me yet again!" He said as he snapped his fingers in defeat. "Well I better get a closer look as this thingy-mah-hoosit." He said in his usual up-beat voice. I was pretty intrigued myself, seeing as how well done this episode was so far. He bent over and got a closer look at the object. It looked like a kitchen knife of some kind. The handle was dark green with a strange pattern on it, like a mix of spirals and swirls. The blade was pearl white, with an iridescent-looking finish to it. It appeared to have writing on the heel of it. Spongebob picked the knife out and began to read the writing on it.
The video began to distort a bit as he read it, "'The happiest place to be is in your head.'" It then went back to normal in an instant. It weirded me out a bit, but that didn't stop me from watching. "Well that sounds kinda
His colors looked more white like the knife. Patrick's mouth was in a scared frown and his eyes were wide, his pupils looking like dots. He looked like he just saw a ghost possess someone.
"S-s-s-Spongebob, I-I-I have a bad f-f-feeling about that thing. I d-d-don't know what, but p-
Spongebob then looked up, seeing the sun going down. "Oh, it's afternoon already! Well Pat sorry to cut this short but I gotta get to bed, see ya buddy!" Spongebob interrupted Patrick's warning as he jogged back into his pineapple house, stuffing the knife in his back pocket. Patrick still look shell-shocked from what he saw. "Dear Neptune, please be merciful on us, he found your
As Spongebob went to his room to sleep, for some odd reason he sat up on the side of his bed and pulled the knife out, looking like he was admiring its details. "Why is Patrick so paranoid of this knife? It'
"The happiest place is in my mind, and I wanna share it with
The room was covered in holes, like someone stabbed it over and over in a frenzy, the floor had scratch marks all over it, the wallpaper was ripped apart and also had the same stab marks on it and the furniture was destroyed as well. panned over to Spongebob sleeping happily in his bed, also partly destroyed but not as much as the rest of the room, giggling only for a small second. Did I just see Spongebob go into a stabbing frenzy and destroy his room? I was completely baffled at how weird and morbid this all was, but I kept watching on.
Line 39:
I didn't know how to feel at this moment, it was all so weird. Did Spongebob have a mental breakdown the night before? Why is Gary so terrified of him? Why is Spongebob so fixated on the knife? I immediately suspected the knife had something to do with it.
It cut to Spongebob walking down the street, possibly to go to work, the knife in his back pocket. I sank in my seat, thinking that Spongebob was going to do something very, very bad. As he was walking his saw other fishes on the side walk, he began to slow down and stare at them with his dark green eyes. He saw an imagined himself attacking them all with the knife and laughing dementedly, he smiled at that thought with that same creepy smile. He looked like he was lost in thought, while the other fishes looked at him weirdly. "Sir, are you okay?" One of the fish questioned. "
"Ahoy Spongebob, it has come t' me attention that yeave been actin' mighty strange lately, care t' explain?" The red crustaceans asked in a concerned tone. "
Spongebob, again, began to space out as Mr. Krabs continued to speak. the room was covered with smiling faces, sound of laughter and began to say awful things about Mr Krabs, how he was so greedy, that he'll never share anything, that Spongebob was the innocent and that he's going to take his happy place away. Mr. Krabs voice was barely audible at this point, being blocked out by laughter and the chanting. " Why are ye givin' me that look? Wha'as wrong wit' yer eyes? Yer' startin' t' scare
I was completely surprised, yet very engaged as I continued to watch the tape. I never thought that Spongebob, the shows main character, a fun loving sponge, would lose his mind because of a knife he found. Then I had a startling thought, Was the knife cursed? I know it may sound stupid, but at least it makes sense. Spongebob finds a knife that belonged to the person who also fell for it, and becomes taken by it as like the previous owner. Was it a gift to Neptune like Patrick said? So many questions filled my head over what was going on, it honestly was pretty cool to see something like this. It was like the creators wanted to put some lore into the show. Maybe it was too creepy and it got cut. I continued to watch on.
It faded in with a title card saying 'In the Asylum'. And cut to Spongebob in a white padded room, wearing a straitjacket, giggling and chanting "This is my happy place, so white and
The knife distorted into view and near his crossed legs. The world around him and the knife began to morph into the same smiling faces from earlier. They began to mutate and fuse into each other as the changed colors and began to warp and swirl into different smiling visages and the audio was indescribable as well.
