<i>While the new SpongeBob series,
Kamp Koral's</i> <i> an exciting fresh take
on the characters we love.</i> <i> If you watch closely,
this show is packed</i> <i> with callbacks
to classic SpongeBob moments.</i> <i> Some are pretty obvious,
and others are harder to catch.</i> <i> So, we thought,
it'd be a good idea</i> <i>to break down that first episode</i> <i>and find all those little hidden
Easter eggs and details.</i> <i> So, let's dive.</i> <i> ♪ SpongeBob
I'm off to summer camp ♪</i> <i> Okay? So off the bat we see
that this show</i> <i> still has the DNA
of the original</i> <i> right from the new theme song.</i> <i> Just like
the original theme song...</i> <i> ♪ Who lives in a pineapple
Under the sea? ♪</i> <i> ♪ SpongeBob SquarePants ♪</i> <i>It incorporates a choir of kids
singing about SpongeBob.</i> <i> ♪ SpongeBob ♪</i> <i> And it gives us a few shots
of familiar elements,</i> <i>like how you could see Mrs. Puff
being a sort of different kind</i> <i> of boating instructor.
And you could spot</i> <i> a young Bubble Bass
and Kevin C. Cucumber</i> <i> while Squidward pitches
his tent.</i> <i> Finally, we reach
the title screen,</i> <i> which has a few references
of its own,</i> <i> like these pineapple carvings
that frame the camp itself.</i> <i> Maybe these pineapples
from his childhood</i> <i> are what inspired SpongeBob</i> <i> to live in a pineapple
later in life.</i> <i> Then we see what looks like
a camp version</i> <i> of the Nautical flags
that'll one day hang</i> <i> outside the Krusty Krab
and in Mr Krabs' office.</i> <i> And, of course,
we hear that iconic tune</i> <i> from the original
SpongeBob opening.</i> [whistling] <i> While in the original
that tune was more flute-like</i> <i> because of how SpongeBob
played his nose like a flute.</i> [whistling] <i>This time around, it sounds like
multiple people whistling.</i> [whistling] <i> Like a group of campers</i> <i> whistling a tune
during activities.</i> <i> Next, we get
our first heroic look</i> <i> at a young SpongeBob.</i> <i> While he doesn't look
too different from before,</i> <i> we see that
instead of his iconic red tie,</i> <i> he has
a similar red neckerchief,</i> <i> and he sports a ball cap
instead of his Krusty Krab hat.</i> <i> He's also wearing
this silver watch</i> <i>with no numbers or hands on it.</i> <i> Not sure what that's about,
but maybe we'll find out</i> <i>in a future episode. Moving on,</i> <i> we get a glimpse
inside SpongeBob's bunk.</i> <i> He's got a mini version</i> <i> of his famously disruptive
foghorn alarm clock...</i> <i> ...a poster of his idol,
Mermaid Man on the wall...</i> By the power of Neptune-- <i> ...and a couple of cans</i> <i> of Squidward's
favorite canned bread.</i> <i> Maybe he's stocking up
because he knows canned bread</i> <i> will apparently be hard
to come by in the future.</i> I bet they won't have...
[gasping] wow, they have it! Canned bread! <i> Camera then pulls out,
revealing even more pineapples.</i> <i>And this jar of what looks like
it could be mayonnaise,</i> <i> probably used by Patrick
as a musical instrument.</i> Is mayonnaise an instrument? No, Patrick,
mayonnaise is not an instrument. Patrick. <i> And Patrick sleeps
on the underside</i> <i> of his bed here, the same way
he'll eventually sleep</i> <i> on the underside of his rock
in the future,</i> <i> except for the times
when he just doesn't.</i> <i> After we're introduced
to young versions of Sandy,</i> <i> Squidward, Mr. Krabs
and little baby, Pearl,</i> <i> we find Larry training
some eager young campers.</i> <i> And among them, you'll find
the famous Craig Mammalton.</i> Craig Mammalton? The tannest man on TV. [chuckling]
None other. <i> Already looking tan as ever.</i> <i> Next, we see SpongeBob absorb
all the water in the shower</i> <i> until it shoots out
of all his pores.</i> <i>If that imagery looks familiar,
it's because it's the same thing</i> <i> we see in the opening
of every episode</i> <i> of the original show.</i> <i> Okay, then we're introduced
to Plankton, and we see</i> <i> that he has this towel
with the same color and pattern</i> <i> as one of his relatives</i> <i> from the episode
"Plankton's Army".</i> <i> Maybe, it's a Plankton thing.</i> <i> Are we overthinking it?
Okay, fine. Probably.</i> <i> But it's still cool.</i> <i> Next, SpongeBob and Patrick
already annoy Squidward</i> <i> during jellyfishing lessons.</i> [mumbling] <i> Could explain why
Squidward hates</i> <i> jellyfishing so much,
as an adult.</i> Good morning, Squidward!
Wanna go jellyfishing?! [squeaking] <i> And the way Squidward
licks his lips</i> <i> before blowing his whistle...</i> [mumbling] <i> ...is probably why SpongeBob
would one day think</i> <i>that's what he's supposed to do</i> <i> before playing
Squidward's clarinet.</i> [slurping] [slurping] <i> Gross. And, of course,
shenanigans follow.</i> <i> And we find out
that Perch Perkins is here,</i> <i> as well, still delivering
the news...</i> As rookie SquarePants
attempts to net his first ever jellyfish. <i> ...sort of.</i> <i> Mrs. Puff is seen supervising
a child who is clearly painting</i> <i> a picture of Gary, the Snail.</i> <i> And Plankton references
his college fund.</i> Hey, that's my college fund. <i> Which, despite how empty
this jar is now,</i> <i> will apparently pay off
because, as future Plankton</i> <i> never lets us forget...</i> I went to college! <i> So, kind of discouraged
by his lack</i> <i> of jellyfishing skills,</i> <i> SpongeBob looks to Squidward
for advice.</i> <i> But really only ends up
interrupting</i> <i>his lawn chair relaxation time.</i> [grunting] SpongeBob. That figures. <i> A bit of foreshadowing
to how often that'll happen</i> <i> when they become
next door neighbors</i> <i> - in the future.</i>
- Fun, fun. <i> And, of course,
Squidward's not very helpful</i> <i>anyways. So, Patrick suggests...</i> How 'bout we bulldoze the camp, stomp on it, chop it to pieces,
and eat it? <i> I think it's kind of funny
that Patrick thinks</i> <i> removing the camp all together
will solve the problem.</i> <i> Since we know one day,
he'll have a similar idea</i> <i> with the entire town
of Bikini Bottom.</i> We should take Bikini Bottom
and push it somewhere else. <i> Okay, maybe I'm overthinking
that one, too. Maybe.</i> <i> So, instead of destroying
and eating the camp,</i> <i> they come up with a plan
to dress Squidward up</i> <i> as a fake jellyfish
to encourage SpongeBob.</i> <i> And of course,
it goes terribly wrong.</i> <i> Patrick and Sandy
have got to stop</i> <i> dressing people up as animals,</i> <i>it always results in that person
getting attacked</i> <i>by some sort of angry creature.</i> <i>Luckily, SpongeBob's able to use</i> <i> bubble blowing
to save the day.</i> [groaning] [screaming] [roaring] <i> A technique he must remember
in the future because he uses it</i> <i> when he runs into danger
while jellyfishing.</i> [gasping]
Mmm mmm mmm. Yummy. [chattering] <i> And I got to point out
that when a bunch of campers</i> <i> get bubble soap in their eyes,
one of them yells,</i> My eye! <i> I think that's got to be
a subtle nod to Fred,</i> <i>the fish who's always yelling...</i> My leg! <i> And no, I'm not overthinking
that one.</i> <i> Just, just let me have this.</i> <i> So, the events earn SpongeBob
his hilariously specific,</i> <i> Saving a Counselor
from a Monster Badge,</i> <i>which depicts Mr. Krabs, himself
being saved from a monster.</i> <i> And prompts Sandy
to ask the question</i> <i> we're all asking...</i> Why is there a
Saving a Counselor from a Monster Badge? Like, how often
does that happen here? <i> Great question, Sandy.</i> <i> Maybe we'll find out
exactly how often that happens</i> <i> in the upcoming
Kamp Koral episodes.</i> <i> But regardless, along the way
will be right there with ya</i> <i>to keep diving deep and finding
all those Easter eggs,</i> <i> hidden jokes and references
to classic episodes</i> <i> that you might have missed.
Until next time campers.</i>
