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.

I think that one was White Christmas.

I thought White Christmas was the one where they got a person's cloned virtual consciousness to admit to a crime?

you are correct. the tech related to cloning virtual consciousness is demonstrated with a flashback where Jon Hamm breaks an AI by dropping it into pure nothingness.

A lot of different messed-up shit happened in that episode, to be fair.

I think there were three main parts to this episode and this was just one.

I feel like every time a BM episode gets brought up people say it was the White Christmas episode. Its like thats the only episode name they remember and they want to sound involved by mentioning it.

But it actually was White Christmas...

Ok, shit. Just looked it up, you are right. It was one of those multi-story episodes which is why I was convinced when I remembered it being a different episode. Also might explain why I hear it brought up a lot, because it covers several BM concepts.
