these are just some quick sketches i did not too long ago. i've been trying to get back into drawing, particularly cartooning, which is something i haven't regularly done for years now. sorry for smudges and un-erased lines, these pencils aren't the best. i also uploaded the BLEH one to my computer and made a digital version with my stylus (did not draw the background). i hope i can keep improving until i can draw the most perfect show-accurate pictures.

GREETINGS COMRADES! So it's been 3 years (!!!) since the last time we did this and to celebrate the sponge man's 25th anniversary we're bringing this tradition back and your favourite carrot will be the host! There are a few changes compared to other editions, and one of them, as you can see in the title, is that we're doing 30 episodes instead of 50! Many of you know how this works but if you're new don't worry, it's easy. All you have to do is DM me your 15 LEAST favourite SpongeBob episodes on Discord (i prefer this way cuz i'm a lot more active there) but if you prefer or don't have a Discord account you can PM me your list here on SBC. Also, please send me your list in descending order (which means you start with #15 and end at #1, your worst episode) so that I can count points more easily on my excel sheet. If you need to change your list after you've sent it, please tell me right away!!! I don't accept more lists or changes after the deadline!!! Oh yeah speaking of that, the deadline is MAY 8TH at 11:59:59 pm EST!!!! I will be like a college professor and not accept lists even a second late Anyways, have fun!!!

The votes are in, and Music is the winning theme! Thanks to all who voted. Look forward to celebrating our 15th anniversary with a musical touch this August!

Maniac vs. Muse or, What Defines Rock Music I’m More Likely to Enjoy? What’s up, peeps? For this project, I’m going to try to get into the long-running UK rock band Muse, a group who I’ve always seen as one of the “Big 3” of mainstream British rock–Muse, Radiohead, and Coldplay–but who I’ve had less interest in listening to than the latter two for quite some time now. However, one of our fellow SBCers, HawkbitAlpha, is trying very hard to get me into Muse, to the extent of sharing a live video of the band performing one of their biggest hits “Knights of Cydonia,” and…I can’t say I was too impressed with the song. My comments towards it consisted of “I get the appeal, but it’s not for me” and even “I guess I don’t like rock music that actually rocks,” which now has me wanting to interrogate what “rock music that actually rocks” even means. To this extent, I do want to make a good-faith effort towards getting into and appreciating Muse’s music for what it is, but I’m going to do it on my terms. Those terms being: listening to every one of their studio albums, from 1999’s Showbiz to 2022’s Will of the People, in chronological order, which is the usual way I’ve tried to become a fan of a particular band or musician for the better part of a decade now. With enough preamble out of the way, let’s get this party started! — Showbiz (1999) 1: Sunburn [8.5/10] 2: Muscle Museum [8/10] 3: Fillip [9.5/10] 4: Falling Down [8/10] 5: Cave [9/10] 6: Showbiz [9.5/10] 7: Unintended [7.5/10] 8: Uno [10/10] 9: Sober [8.5/10] 10: Escape [8/10] 11: Overdue [8.5/10] 12: Hate This and I’ll Love You [9/10] Review: So, how does Muse’s 1999 debut album hold up? Pretty darn well, surprisingly enough! While Matt Bellamy’s vocals at the beginning of “Sunburn” did make me wince because of their perceived similarity to Radiohead’s Thom Yorke’s, I will admit that Bellamy does have a vocal style of his own: a fiery, passionate ball of angst, whereas Yorke’s vocal angst is more neurotic and detached. But damn, Matt Bellamy can sing, even if what he’s singing isn’t exactly the most unique stuff in the world. To be honest, I genuinely think the lyrics on this album are kind of generic and if it wasn’t for Bellamy’s vocal charisma and passion, I would have been a lot harsher on this album than I ended up being. What about the actual music, though? From what I’ve heard on this album, Muse seems to have very much been a cohesive unit from the start; every instrument–from searing guitar riffs, heavy bass lines, and pounding drums–is given a chance to shine on many of the songs here. My favorite songs on the album–“Uno” and “Filip” in particular–have this sort of gothic “doomed romantic” feel to the chords and melodies, the latter song with its twinkling pianos and the former with its seemingly tango-inspired cadence. And these tracks ROCK. HARD. Other songs in this vein like “Cave” and the title track are where Muse play to their strengths on this album and seem like the beginnings of their core sound. Where I do think the album falters is on the slower songs like “Falling Down” and “Undecided.” The former is where I think some comparison to the OK Computer sadboys is warranted, mostly because it just sounds like a version of the closer from OK Computer, “The Tourist,” without any of the majestic synths and yes, singing, even if “Falling Down” goes down easy. “Undecided,” on the other hand, seems like an attempt at a romantic acoustic ballad that doesn’t really do much for me personally even if executed well on a technical level. While I wouldn’t call Showbiz an all-time favorite, I do think it’s a promising start to what seems like a diverse, if not always crowd-pleasing, career in alternative rock (spoilers: I have not heard good things about Muse from 2016’s Drones onwards, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it). Final score: 8.6/10 (B) --- UP NEXT: Origin of Symmetry (2001)

I sent my list in.

Hi there! I'm SneakyMcSneakyPants (my name comes from a quote from The Pink Purloiner). I joined a little while ago but was mostly just lurking until now. I'm going to try to be more active now though! I'm a 23-year-old college graduate from Texas and have a computer science degree. I'm also an SBMania member (same username), where I tend to kill whatever free time I haven't already given to Reddit and Wikipedia (funemployment, right? ). I'm also an amateur cartoonist, which is something I got into thanks to...SpongeBob! I've loved SpongeBob since I was 5 (before I even had cable!) but started to REALLY get into the show when I was 16, and since then I have devoured SpongeBob episodes and info about the show's crew, production history, etc. I love watching the show and discussing it, often at length! Looking forward to participating!

Welcome to SBC! I bring you greetings from apple world!

"Dragonball Z" (the Japanese Anime) is turning 35 this year, and as a belated tribute to Akira Toriyama; I'll be "Dragonball Z"!

101DS turned 5 earlier this year, and it would be on-brand for me to take it up for grabs so...101 Dalmatian Street it is.

9 DAYS LEFT TO SEND YOUR BOTTOM LISTS!!!! WE'RE AT 10 LISTS NOW!!!

I do not have donkey brains.

No, he has no relation to the mole rat.

I've been living on my own for a few years now and I definitely prefer it over living with people.

In the White House

You Can Finally Meet My Mom, L.

I hate the young people's music.

I love the young people's music.

Now, I don’t see so good, so I missed, then they ran away. I ran after them. Bang! Tried to shoot them in the back, but I don’t run so good either. Anyway, you guys all think I’m a hero, and I’ll accept that responsibility.

Welcome back to the mixing zone, my fellow SpongeBobbies, for the 17th edition of the SBC Community Mixtape! I hope y'all are ready for the Day of Black Sun today, but while the US is looking to the sky for the upcoming eclipse, we're once again firing up the good old PokeBlock blender of music to make our next combined concoction. This time, it's going to be with one of our most out-there themes yet, as we'll be... ROCKIN' THE BOWERY Allow me to introduce all of you to a little hole in the wall, previously located at 315 Bowery in NYC's East Village, called CBGB. Or, rather, I'll let the main character from the 2009 movie Bandslam explain: "CBGB: the nerve center of everything that mattered in music in the past 40 years. [...] Birthplace of punk! The Ramones, Patti Smith... Do you know how many times she must have spit on this floor? Bad Brains... Without CBGB, there'd be no Sex Pistols or The Clash, so U2 doesn't get inspired to form a band in Ireland. And the Killers don't hear U2 in Vegas, and decide to pick up guitars... The list is endless!" More to the point: CBGB was a famed music club in NYC that was the epicenter of punk and new wave. Just about every band you can think of from those particular scenes played there at some point. It closed in 2006, and has since been turned into a men's fashion store, but the music lives on. Can you tell where I'm going with this? The assignment for everyone this time is to find and add songs by artists that are known to have played at CBGB during its over 40-year lifespan. That list of artists is quite extensive, and to that end, I've taken the time to document them in the spoiler tab below: The rules: We're going to do this similar to Steel's Obama Block Party, in that, once someone has added at least one song by a given artist to their submissions, that artist is officially claimed, and can't be submitted by anyone else. I'll try and keep track of them in the list above. To balance out the above, you can only have a maximum of six different artists in your submission. Try to post your submissions using a Spotify playlist. If this is not possible for you, at least make sure that all of your submissions are available on Spotify. Joke/troll entries can and most likely will be excluded. No repeat entries (can't submit the same thing as somebody else). Tentative deadline for submissions is Saturday, April 13th. Now, can someone show me how to sneak into the secret abandoned CBGB bathrooms?

There I am, Gary! There I am!

Film is currently scheduled to be released December 19th, 2025.

I'm back! On the bright side, I'm glad that while I was gone, I got to go to the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach and see Jay Leno perform live (why didn't somebody TELL me he could be so funny a whole lot SOONER?!); I am bummed that a concert that I wanted to go see BEFORE I got back home (Jimmie Vaughan, former lead singer of The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Stevie Ray Vaughan's brother) was cancelled and there wasn't even any NOTICE at the concert venue, and we didn't find out until we visited his OWN website 15 minutes BEFORE the concert was supposed to start that the event would be postponed until October 15th! COME ON!!!! That's POOR management skills, people! Although, it did let me get back home sooner than I otherwise would've, finish unpacking, and allow me to not be TOO tired to write on here tonight, so I guess it KIND of evens out. Enough said, true believers!

we all have our favorite seasons, what's your favorite one? Vote If you want to as well as comment below.

I decided to compile this one off of actual live recordings of each artist, though sadly, none were recorded at CGBG's. (HAH! I did manage to get one from Teenage Jesus and the Jerks lmao). You still get ZERO points for guessing why I chose "Life During Wartime" specifically

Spring more than anything else. Summer is horribly unbearable where I live, and winter is too because I can't handle anything below 50 degrees lol... I feel like autumn doesn't even exist where I live, haha.

SpongeBrawl celebrates Wrestlemania Weekend with a nowhere near as grand episode!

Episode 3: Angel in the Goo The Toast Krusters are called upon to investigate Goo Lagoon, where a series of horrific drownings both in and out of the goo have been taking place. Local surf bums believe the cause of all the panic to be supernatural in nature. Some believe The Big One is back to wreak its brutal vengeance after it got shredded upon last surf season. The Toast Kusters rent out a dinghy for an overnight investigation out on water. Their cameras capture ghost orbs floating over the goo’s surface and onto land, but a freak wave accident cuts this investigation short. The next night, the Krusters launch an investigation on the beach itself, where Squidward comes face-to-face with the source of the haunting after disturbing its resting place with his specter detector (fashioned out of an old metal detector): Scooter the Surfer! After saving Squidward from a near-drowning on dry land, the memories all come flooding back to SpongeBob. He informs the others that Scooter passed away very untimely when the surfer asked him and his old pal, Bubble Buddy, to bury him in the sand. SpongeBob then left Bubble Buddy in charge of digging Scooter back out, but he hadn’t heard from Scooter again since. Krabs deduces that the bubble somehow failed his task and that Scooter now haunts the beach, tethered to the physical world by his anger and lust for vengeance. Squidward vividly recalls the ghost of Scooter having a pair of wings and a halo, as if he were visited by an angel. The surfer had no such appendages in life, so he must’ve acquired those sometime after death. They call it in to Sandy for her to further study on. Sandy doesn’t want to keep wasting valuable resources on their phony part time gig (especially without compensation), but a run in with Scooter the Angel himself inside her own Treedome is enough to convince Sandy to help put an end to his reign of terror. After ghost-proofing her dome, she gets back to The Krusters with more intel on “avenging angels”. Avenging angels were among the first angels created by God to dish out punishments that the big kahuna couldn’t bring himself to commit on his own. While mere mortals such as themselves are unable to become actual angels, she theorizes that Scooter’s well-documented religious upbringing mixed with his anger over his untimely death fueled a change in his spectral body after death, morphing him into the Angel of Vengeance they see now. And it seems as though he won’t rest until his vengeance has been deemed truly wreaked. Taking some of the ectoplasmic ooze she recovered from their previous Heart & Soul investigations and mixing it into a compound sample of goo from the lagoon, she creates a countermeasure made specially for Scooter that she calls “The Gooze”. She sends a bottle out to The Toast Krusters by drone to use at their own discretion. Krabs suggests using the Gooze to set up a trap for Scooter, and SpongeBob just so happens to have the perfect trap in mind. That night, the ghost of Scooter is drawn out by the presence of Bubble Buddy himself. His retribution finally at hand, Scooter uses his ghostly powers to finally pop the bubble, but unbeknownst to him, this perfect replica of Bubble Buddy was made by SpongeBob using the Gooze! Once popped, the Gooze splattered all over Scooter’s angelic form, burning him upon contact. Using his trusty bubble wand, SpongeBob blows Gooze bombs at Scooter, weakening him further. This leaves the angel of vengeance curable enough for Krabs and Squidward to lay siege with their new patented “Grief Blowers”. They handily suck up the ghost of Scooter the Surfer and send him back to Sandy for proper dispensement. With their investigation of Goo Lagoon officially coming to a close, the beach returns to relative normalcy. SpongeBob paddles out into the lagoon with all the beach bums to give Scooter a more dignified send off, out of respect for their fallen angel. Notes Featured ghost: Scooter the Angel Introduced anti-ghost devices: The Gooze and the newly patented Grief Blower

Well, here goes nothing: Artists highlighted are Outkast (2000 & 2003), Daddy Yankee (2004 & 2008), and M.I.A. (2005 & 2007). Enjoy!

UGH!!!! It's bad enough I seem to hardly be able to get on THIS site anymore (seriously, someone PLEASE invent more hours in a day, or find a way to make time move at LEAST a little bit slower); but in any case, I have to go out of town this Saturday, and I won't be able to get back until late Tuesday night. And since I have no idea what my Internet capabilities are going to be like where I'm going to, it's possible that I won't be able to post here while I'm gone. So it's possible I won't be able to post on here again until this upcoming Wednesday. Just wanted to give people the heads up on what was happening with me!

I don't mean to double post, but I've noticed that everytime I post here its negative, so I actually have something positive. Ever since I graduated high school I had become very depressed and isolated. In October of 2023, I decided that I was going to go back to a "social group" that I somewhat belonged to in high school. I made the goal to go back in January 2024. I've been going since then, and I honestly can say that I've never been happier. I honestly don't think I even suffer from anxiety and depression anymore. I know that's probably hard to believe since it's only been three months, but these people have been and are some of the most welcoming and inviting people in my life. I actually have friends now and it's the weirdest feeling because I've only ever had online friends with the exception of maybe three in real life friends from a really long time ago that I don't really speak with much. Of course, my mind does make me feel like I don't belong sometimes, but I know that that's not true. I could go into more detail with this post, but the reason why I won't is because it's a religious social group and I don't want to seem like I'm forcing anything on you guys, because I definitely don't want to do that. I'll also post here that I'm recovering from my eating disorder and I have lost a lot of weight, which is good because I had binge eating disorder. As far as the post I made in the other topic about possible pancreatitis, they're going to do something on me where they have to put me to sleep and yeah, I'm nervous because I've never had something like that done before, but I know I'll be alright. Basically, I'm doing extremely great, both emotionally and (hopefully) physically.

Chibi Ethan cause I love human!SpongeBob (and Ethan Slater) SpongeBob (don't @ me over him's lack of nose cause I haven't figured that part out yet)

I...um....yeah, this happened.
