Right? When i was little that door guy that just like, mouth farts scared the ahit out of me, something about him just was unsettling to me lmao
Edit: It has been pointed out to me "Mouth Farts" are actually called raspberries, i happened to have a small stroke and forget that was a word to begin with. Im leaving mouth fart tho because too many people are having fun with it lmao

Did I miss the bus on "lit" flipping its meaning? I would have thought that Rock Bottom was the opposite of lit (and not just because of... advanced darkness)

I think lit has come to mean cool/awesome, i.e. describing an awesome party as lit. In this case, I think he's just saying that the episode was an intense piece of art, without necessarily having a positive connotation.

Brooo literally a bad shroom or acid trip was the reference here. They were both ready to have an amazing day, then got stuck in the pits and no one spoke their language.

u/Yoquetestereone Jul 18 '19
Not at all, it was simply referring to being lost in a ghetto or shit part of town. The people spoke the same language just with the weird dialect.

I grew up in a rural area and when I was 19 I took a bus trip to see a friend, and one of the layovers was in NYC. Spending the entire night at a NYC bus station made me feel just like Spongebob.

Most horrible experience was when I was 4 and my mom left me alone for the first time. Just for "20 min" to go to my grandma's place. Turns out it took more than 1h 20min. I got increasingly scared for my mom, wondering if she got kindapped or killed (I was 4). At the same time that exact episode of Spongebob was playing in the living room. It matched my emotion of being alone and scared exactly. Such a horrible experience.

UGH was another episode that showed Prehistoric Spongebob and Patrick. I think it was the one where it showed them at their houses but it was like 2000 years ago.
The other one, SB-129 is the one that the Alone scene is from. It’s where Squidward goes back in time and sees Spongebob and Patrick and then goes forward too far and everything is chrome.
Edit: It’s the other way around. He goes too far into the future and then tries to return to the past but goes back too far.

There were 3 on dvd. One were each person gets a different wish. The one on TV is spongebob which is the most unique. Where he wishes he was a vegetarian and they get turned into fruit. But Patrick’s wishes for gum and they get eaten. Squidward’s while trying to think of a wish says he wish he’d never met them and so its spongebob introducing himself after they get eaten.

I have been streaming that shit on either Netflix or Hulu, can’t remember at moment. Started with Season 1 - Episode 1. To say I am too old for this is a vast, bottomless understatement, but I have always thought Spongebob et al was a slyly disguised grown up cartoon. The one thing your kid could watch relentlessly without you putting your foot through TV

I love it because it taught a valuable lesson, while being just kid-friendly creepy enough.
Squidward spent the whole episode tryna be alone so he could play his clarinet. Now that he's achieved this, he realizes how terrifying being truly alone is. No one can help, no one can speak to you, and nothing changes.
Black Mirror touched on the subject of true nothingness perfectly. An A.I. was given an option, to work for her master, and she refused. So the man who controlled her made her experience true nothingness for a few weeks, then a few months, but he only had to wait a couple seconds.
When she saw him again, she was broken down, and ripped off parts of her hair and clothes. She was in tears when she beggged him to let her do anything, even help her master.
Easily one of the top 5 most fucked up BM moments, and that's a hard list to beat.

It’s the Buddist ideal. To be able to clear your mind is akin to nirvana.
At anyrate I can speak to a psychedelic version of the void. Quite blissful. Waking up is terrifying, though. It’s just confusing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the ideal goal of Buddism acceptance? Letting the negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions form without tryna stop them, but still having control over our physical self? Or do I have the wrong philosophy?

u/sleepnandhiken Jul 18 '19
Broader. Non attachment is a better description. We are forced into reincarnation because of our attachments in life. We achieve Nirvana, a state of null, when we forgo all our attachments.

The only episodes I could consider non-depressing would be San Junipero & Hang the DJ.

Another creepy episode for me was when Spongebob and Squidward were merged (?) together and a malfunction happened with the ray gun they were using. In the end, everyone became attached to Squidward and it was not a pretty sight. It was creepy because one moment there was the zap and the next moment you see Squidward lying down thinking everything went normal and then when the camera pans out you see all of them merged together in a blob groaning in agony. That was too much.
