My Spongebob Crew Anylasis

[Frizzbee Entertainment]

I'll be talking about writers, directors, producers and storyboard directors.

First the writers 

Kaz- Kaz is on fire lately. He's been writing tons of episodes since his return in 2015. I've noticed that most of his episodes are focused on being more surreal with the prime examples being Mutiny on the Krusty, Sewers of Bikini Bottom and even Pineapple Invasion to a certain extent. His humor seems to resemble season 3 the most using the perfect mixture of Slapstick and dialogue based comedy. One of his problems however, is that he doesn't use the shows many characters/ locations to his advantage. His episodes mainly revolve around Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Plankton and they normally take place at the Krusty Krab. Due to this his stories may sometimes feel repetitive. Nevertheless he is a great writer like he was back in the day

 

Kyle McCulloch-This guy is pretty interesting. He is the second South Park allumni (after Dani Michele) and he wrote one episode in season 4. His stories tend to be more down to earth and believable, the prime examples being Squid Plus One and The Whole Tooth. His episodes are consistently good and was even promoted to story editor. He has left the show however, to write the third SpongeBob Movie.

 

Jack Pandarvis -He is the dude who started it all. The first Post Sequel writer. His episodes don't disappoint and he is similar to Kyle McCulloch in many ways (he was even paired up with him on multiple occasions) His stories tend to have more depth and he even made a South Park esc episode with real world satire Unlike Kaz he tends to use characters and locations to his advantage with episodes featuring Larry, Sandy and even Bubble Bass. His stories are never bland and never seize to impress

 

Unfortunately we haven't seen enough of Clare O Kane, Mr Lawrence, Andrew Goodman,Josh and Daniel, and Solomon Georgia to analyze them. I'll update this incense see more Doug and Andrew.

Now the Directors

 

Sherm Cohen- This guy is a SpongeBob legend. Ever since I heard he was returning I couldn't be happier. He is now alternatingever Episode with Dave Cunningham (who is also Spongebob Storyboard alumni). His episodes are way crazier but at the same time have a layer of season 2 charm. His episodes have more pre movie atmosphere while at the same time being so crazy and cartoony.

 

Dave Cunningham- This guy was a strange choice for a director. I would have expected someone like Clint Bond or even Marc Ceccarelli. He was just a storyboard artist but know he's one of the big guys. His episodes feel more like season 4 or 5 episodes. His episodes tend to be a bit calmer in terms of atmosphere (the prime example being Snail Mail) and the humor is more dialogue based.

 

Now for the Storyboard guys (only two of them)

 

John Trabbic- This guy once worked on Archer, therefore I love him. He tends to be focused not on cartoony posing, but on setting up scenes. The way scenes are set up when he's on board is fantastic.

Fred Osmond- this guy is crazy. Every single episode he touches is a thing of beauty. He focuses on cartoony posing (much like another show he worked on, Uncle Grandpa). His greatest work on this show is definitely WhirlyBrains. Just fantastic 

 

Producers

 

Vincent Waller- Starting of as a Writer and Boardist in season 1 this guy has been the creative director since season 5. Now, taking up the title from Paul Tibbit,  he is the supervising producer starting with "Patrick! the game. He also worked on Ren and Stimpy which is where the emphasis on Cartoony posing comes in. He also has a Twitter account (he's a pretty nice guy actually)

Marc Ceccarelli - This guy is reclusive. We don't know much about him except he was a writer for season 8-9A. He was paired up with Luke Brookshier mostly but know he is with Vince. We don't know how much of a influence he has on the show but we know its some. I hope he continues.

 

Miscellaneous 

Nicolas Carr- This dude bugs me. He isn't bad it's just that I hate those cartoon tracks like "The pollywag strut" or "The doughnut dilemma". I wish he would use more tracks like "Dancing the Hula" on "Hula Festival"

 

That's all for now!
