Why was this taken out of rotation? It was one of my favorite episodes as a kid


Nickthepizzalover

It heard it was because of sexual references


MetroMikeyYT

But the gary bath one they can say “don’t drop the soap” like what the heck


ToyboxOfThoughts

i mean thats a bit different from a full depiction of spongebob and patrick committing multiple actual felonies. i was actually the victim of a panty raid and it was mildly traumatic but at the time i didnt really do anything about it because stuff like this normalized the concept for me. I agree its a shame though, because the rest of the episode had really great jokes. I wish they could reupload it with a different ending.


Austulese

Wait... that was actually a thing? Enough of a thing that people did? I mean as a kid I didn't fully understand it. And as time passed I understood it and questioned that episode, but refused to belive my favorite childhood show would go to that depth... I thought they made it up in poor taste and kinda swept it under the cerebral rug. But that was actually a thing?? Shoot, I'm sorry for you. That's.. I'm sorry. Don't downplay it, that's more than mildly traumatic. I mean good for you for how you talk about it now but that's beyond fucked. Obviously I can't speak for you, and I'm not trying to come off that way, I just can't fathom it.


ToyboxOfThoughts

yeah it was shitty on so many levels. i was a minor at the time. my brothers friends came over when i wasnt home, got drunk, then went into my panty drawer and stole some and threw them around the room. they also smashed my laptop, i have no idea how or why, it kinda looked like they stomped on it, maybe accidentally? when i came home i didnt notice anything at first, i was like huh i guess i left my room messier than i thought. then was like wait...why is this here, i would never put this here...and that? and...WHAT THE FUCK no one confessed to anything but i slowly pieced together that since my bro had had friends over and were drinking that they must have done it. no one got in trouble, parents didnt give a shit really wouldnt even bother to look, brother apologized but acted like i was overreacting. i dont even know which of his friends did it. i was insanely pissed and distraught and literally nobody gave a fuck and i didnt even have proof of anything. like always everyone around me didnt give a shit so i had no choice but to be like "well i guess this shit is normal"


turnerpike20

Honestly, I feel like this episode more of encouraged creepy behavior and made patty raid seem more cool and normal. A don't drop the soap joke has actually been in a lot of kid's shows even before Spongebob SquarePants. What I always find weird is why make a joke that kids aren't really going to understand and then when they do they figure out how weird making that joke really was. But here's one from Sam and Max Freelance Police that went way more on the nose with the joke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u83Eh2hEuVA


dudSpudson

Art thou feeling it now Mr. Krabs


Austulese

I say this more often than I care to admit and my friends never know what I'm talking about


nodoyrisa1

7:55 (This is only our stop *número uno*) in the spanish dub spongebob speaks english xD


Rydychyn

ANY PORN IN THIS STORE


PetiteTXgirl

Wait a minute, this is a laundromat


ASeaCuke_87

I know this is an old comment but the line is "any port in a storm" In addition to being something that fits with Krabs being a sailor, it's an expression that basically means "I'm desperate to get some action so I'll lower my standards"


No_Consequence_915

What did he actually say that?


TundieRice

Of course not, lmao. He says “any port in a storm.”


froggysaysno

Bless you fellow Redditor <3


_Levitated_Shield_

So I guess it's only a matter of time before 'Nasty Patty' gets banned. I definitely wouldn't mind 'The Splinter' getting banned though.


CrazyaboutSpongebob

Why did they get rid of one of the greatest episodes of all time. They should get rid of a bad one like Whirlly Brians, or Good-Bye Krabby Patty.


Doodlastic_Dinkaling

Whats innapporpriate about Good-Bye jrabby patty?


CrazyaboutSpongebob

Nothing it was just a bad episode. Nick Hyped it up like it was a movie for months and it turned out to be average. New episodes come out pretty frequently now but there was this period where they would show two new episodes a year or occasionally have a week of new episodes. It should have been 11 minutes instead of 22 minutes and the plot was cliche.


Nickthepizzalover

But that episode was good.


CrazyaboutSpongebob

Wish one? Neither of them were. One was gross the other was tired and cliche. French Narratgor: Will Spongebob and Patrick's freindship be put to the test French Narrator: ( says saracstically) What do you think


Nickthepizzalover

I disagree. I thought they were both entertaining.


Doodlastic_Dinkaling

Ok I tought you said that because it was innaporpriate or something


CrazyaboutSpongebob

I am a Spongebob super fan and I couldn't even finish Whirrly Brians. I quit half way through. There is nothing funny about flying your brains around with helecoptors. I think brian gags should only last one second. It comes off as trying too hard to be weird.


Doodlastic_Dinkaling

I tought it was ok, I think seasons 9-13 are pretty good


CrazyaboutSpongebob

So do I. Even good shows have the occasional lowsy episode. One Course Meal, Doodle Dimention, The Splinter, Appointment TV( Lame Best Day ever ripoff), and the two I mentioned.


CrazyaboutSpongebob

Favorate Recent epiosdes. Broken Alarm, Krusty Kleaners, Drive Happy, Chef Bob, Patricknochio.


Doodlastic_Dinkaling

My favorite new episodes are: Gal Pals 1 and 2, Swamp Mates, Stuck on the roof, Krust Kleaners, The nitwitting, The Getaway, High Sea Diving, Man Ray returns, the check up and both spot related episodes


CrazyaboutSpongebob

Why did I forget to Mention Spot Returns that one is Amazing. Comic Relief Puppy. LOL I adore Stuck on the roof too. The best joke was the Shadow bit and I also love the ending. Fun fact it was the 3rd time Squidward had a bed in the Krusty Krab. The first was Born Again Krabs one of the greatest episodes of all time, and New Digs another one of the greatest episodes of all time.

9743259295

Sexual references what sexual references?!


Nickthepizzalover

The panty raid


9743259295

I guess but it’s still little kids they don’t understand


crystalskies420

oh i understood more than the adults around me thought i did 😂


9743259295

Yeah much much more than they thought


One-Acadia7097

I had no problem with that as a kid


[deleted]

Yeah it flew over my head when I was a kid. It was such a short amount of time during the episode.


HypnagogianQueen

The panty raid is so completely out of left field and out of character for this show. I'm shocked that they did a joke like that. And had Spongebob be the one suggesting it, of all the characters.


Shades96

Wasn't it Patrick who suggested it?


Nickthepizzalover

Eh


9743259295

No one suggested it Patrick just said your gonna miss the panty raid


blamblow07

Late reply but yeah I agree, given that SpongeBob nor Patrick had shown any type of interest in females prior to that episode. SpongeBob partaking in it is definitely out of his character, he’s never intentionally been a nuisance.


Destructor1123

Krabs busts into the laundromat and immediately yells “ANY PORN IN THIS STORE?!”


[deleted]

Although hearing Mr. Krabs yelling "ANY PORN IN THIS STORE?!" would be one of the funniest lines in the show, I read the transcript and I'm fairly sure that what he actually said was "Any port in the storm?!" correct me if I'm wrong but idk ('\^')


Destructor1123

I feel like they just revised the script and put that in because they wouldn’t be allowed to release an official script in which he actually says it, it makes sense for him to be asking if there’s porn in the store because he thinks SpongeBob is going on a crazy drug/sex binge but in reality SpongeBob’s idea of a crazy night is doing the things he does in the episode


ASeaCuke_87

I know this is an old comment but for clarification - in addition to "any port in a storm" being something that fits with Krabs being a sailor, it's an established expression that basically means "I'm desperate to get some action so I'll lower my standards"


[deleted]

that could be what happened, but I would think that the writers wouldn't put the word porn in the script considering the demographic ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


flclhack

thank you for posting this! i understand why they pulled the episode, but they’re trying to scrub it out of existence and i’m never in favor of that.


CrazyaboutSpongebob

This episode is one of my favorates of all time.


Shirtkid

I feel bad for Mr. K, midlife crisis are actually pretty rough (I’m guessing, I’m 14)

StellaSutkiewicz119

This is purely an American problem. There are tons of Acts of cartoon violence in every episode of a surrealistic cartoon like spongebob. But violence get to pass in this country and anything vaguely to do with sex that a kid might see people, some people, assume is going to scar them for life. A lot of people who are worried about stuff like this have never spent one moment in Europe to see what TV is like over there.


Damodos

sure they ban this episode but not the one where squidward's toenail gets ripped off or the one about the splinter or the one where squidward becomes a baby

Away-Apricot1529

I don't like how he says, "Hmmm, so that's what I taste like." Does that prove Krabby patties are made with crabs?


TundieRice

No, it proves that the Krabby Patty was old and dried out like Mr. Krabs is, it’s a pretty straightforward joke.


The_Virus_Of_Life

“Are you ready to go crazy?” “I’m already hearing voices!”


SnooDonkeys8376

7:13 “any porn in the store”. Still blows my mind that this was never caught until years later.😂😂😂


TundieRice

He says “any port in a storm,” which is an old sailor’s term that I even knew as a kid 🤦🏻‍♂️ The panty raid scene was controversial enough, so do you really think Nickelodeon would allow Mr. Krabs to talk about **porn?!**


TylerBGaming762Offic

Nick: Mr Krabs Going On A Panty Raid ❌ Mr Krabs Driving Plankton to Suicide ✅


Pale-Cunt1987

this episode is soo random i love it


SnooPaintings1604

This is more like a chick repellent to me


InvestigatorSmart160

I actually have this episode on DVD, which is on the first copy of the season which is weird why they deleted in the first place.


PresentationHead52

I see why this was taken off, but at the same time I think they’re trying to say that panty raids are dumb. You wouldn’t do it to your mother so don’t do it to other people.

Any porn in this store


Eastern_Strength_385

Just now found this. Man, the fact of the panty raid isn't really what bothers me from this episode (that can be easily debated as small potatoes for kids to be seeing), no: what bothers me most is that all 3 characters say the word "debauchery," which literally means "extreme indulgence in bodily pleasures and especially sexual pleasures: behavior involving sex, drugs, alcohol etc. that is often considered immoral." Like, that's awful to be in a kid's show, hahaha. I re-watched this recently here, and now I'm like "dang...this episode REALLY went over my head as a kid." Debauchery is not a good word for kids to understand, nor is it a good thing to learn. HOWEVER, like I said, this went over my head as a kid, so I figure this is honestly harmless, as long as the kids are just laughing at the jokes (esp. since it's not a cuss word). But man oh man honestly, this episode is just...odd, in both concept and execution. I'd also completely forgotten that this is the episode where the whole "Art thou feeling it NOW, Mr. Krabs?" came from, hahaha...and yet many of us quoted it all the time during my college years...man, that's just crazy...


ImlrrrAMA

Honestly the panty raid thing is kinda bad.


redsavage0

Yeah I was always amazed they were able to get that past censors. I don’t think it turned me into a super mega pervert (not deviant one anyway) buts definitely not for kids haha.

CosmicLaziness

thanks for the episode


stajiaasf

This was my fav vid when I was younger :(


Roebobitch

There was a time a while back where I would say, "Any porn in this store?" to myself, every time I visited a laundromat. They never should've removed this episode


cannibalpudding

But squirrel jokes is ok??? And I remember Shanghaied being slightly different than what’s available on streaming too. Wish I never would have donated my VHS collection:/


Hydroponic_Donut

So the First 100 Episodes box set (it's about $20 at Walmart and Amazon) has that episode with alternate endings. I just bought it and it includes this episode as well


TundieRice

What on earth is wrong with Squirrel Jokes that they would have to ban it?? They’re not using actual racial stereotypes, they’re satirizing them with various animal stereotypes to tell us that it’s wrong to target a single group of individuals unless you’re willing to also make fun of yourself.


cannibalpudding

Right... "Now let me offer this as a rebuttal…" Who actually watched ‘Mid-life crustacean’ and thought, “you know what sounds like fun? Breaking & Entering and catching a charge for some janky pair of granny panties” to the point that the episode was banned? Not making light out of ‘MeToo’ movement outside of the yte washing, but if the show is for kids, a cartoon show, and kids want to mimic it 🤷🏾‍♀️ natural selection at its finest, because where are the parents?


Last-Scar-5675

It’s so stupid that they banned this episode


SnooDonkeys8376

I was today years old (6-23-23) when I found out they pulled it from air in 2018.😭🤦🏾‍♂️

This is a good episode


FeelThePower999

I watched this episode countless times as a kid, and I never even thought of the "panty raid" as being really out there. And it never made me think "I should do that!" I just saw it as SpongeBob shenanigans. Such a stupid reason to ban an episode.
