SPONGEBOB CONSPIRACY #7: The Robot Invasion Theory

all right all right so i admit it some of my theories have been a little crazy lately i mean goofy goober alien death cult theory pearl's dead mother theory let's maybe try and slow down a bit on this one there is a secret robot invasion happening in bikini bottom everywhere you look robots have integrated themselves into society kidnapping and replacing people with robot cyborgs waiting for their chance to rise up and start the robot apocalypse this is not a joke i repeat the robots are coming the robots are coming this is the robot invasion theory [Music] [Music] alex no sorry what you okay dude uh yeah sorry um i've just got a lot of my mind lately how's the uh spongebob theorizing going it's good it's good um i'm actually thinking about maybe stopping why they're huge yeah i mean people watch them it's just i didn't go to film school for three years just to make spongebob theories forever yeah but i mean just it's just something you're doing now doesn't mean you have to do them like forever it's easy for you to say i mean what you're a year out of film school and you're already directing commercials yeah but i didn't go to film school to make commercials either it's just something i'm doing for now i like spongebob theories yeah maybe i don't know these uh these videos also just they take a lot to make not sure if i'm up for it anymore dude up for it you're just like watching cartoons all day that sounds awesome i would kill to have as many followers as you man i'd be set i've been trying to get my film funded for months and i still have nothing to show for it you know sounds like a pretty sweet thing you got there but hey it's time for another spongebob conspiracy wow i just realized i've uh i've been making spongebob videos for over a year now uh definitely did not think that i'd still be making these a a year later but it's all worth it right because you guys love them and i love making them and they're they're super easy to make uh the sponsor time to talk about today's sponsor do you like intense action-packed mobile games epic rosters with hundreds of characters to play and bosses to fight well then you'll love wine from bright cellars you know after a long day of spongebob theorizing i like to crack open a nice cold wine [Music] red but here's the thing i don't really know anything about wine that's why it's good bright sailors has got my back right sellers is a monthly wine subscription service that helps people discover wines that they'll love first you just take a quick personality quiz then they send you a box of wine specifically based on your taste each wine comes with educational cards that tell you how to best serve it or what to pair it with trust me they know you better than you know yourself [Music] this is the uh forever fleeting very good very good i'm getting a little bit of a little bit of peaches which is nice kind of reminds me of the the peach cobbler my mom used to make me as a kid bright sellers they always know they always know a little bit of a little bit of apricots too kind of like the first kiss i ever had at the sadie hawkins dance apricot lipstick [Music] how did how did you know that bright cellars [Music] oh my god orange blossoms my gam gam used to call me her little orange blossom how did you know that bright sellers how did you know that brightsellers is offering 50 off your first box that's six bottles of wine for just 53 dollars that is a lot of wine for that price but hey hey you got to be 21 or older to order okay no kids no kids wines for adults adults like me just go to the link on the screen to get your 50 off now that i've drank in my wine i will begin the theory one of my favorite episodes of spongebob is the season three episode crabborg spongebob watches a scary robot movie then gets super paranoid about robots taking over and even kidnaps mr krabs what you think i'm a robot we don't think we know it's a really funny episode but i can't help but wonder if spongebob's fears might be a bit more justified than we thought in the episode sb129 we get our first glimpse of the future of bikini bottom two thousand years later okay uh what's going on here why is everything chrome everything is chrome in the future we see a world covered in chrome where everyone has been replaced with robotic people spongebob is that you spongebob no i am spongebob and this isn't the only time we see a future full of robots in the season 7 episode back to the past spongebob time travels to an alternate future where man ray takes over and once again people have been replaced by robots and then in the second spongebob movie sponge out of water there is a deleted scene where spongebob and plankton go to the future and see this we did it i wonder when we are excuse me sir do you know what year this is cyborgs [Music] we didn't go back in time we went front in time and there's even foreshadowing in episodes that take place in the present in the krusty krab training video we hear this well luckily for you mr crab's fear of robot overlords keeps the balance of technology in check and in its security guards we can see an exhibit that clearly shows the evolution of spongebob eventually getting taken over by robots okay so there seems to be a lot of evidence for the future of bikini bottom being taken over by robots but honestly why does any of this matter i mean robots ruling the world is a pretty common depiction of the future in lots of different media and even if this is the canonical future of the show it's at the very least thousands of years in the future it's not like we can already see this robot invasion happening in present day bikini bottom right here's an interesting question about spongebob that's always bothered me why are there so many robots in the show and i'm not talking about sandy or plankton's inventions it makes sense for them to have robots since they're both genius inventors but why do hospitals and office buildings and amusement parks and weenie hud juniors and many many more places have such advanced robots i mean let's ignore the fact that they're underwater and robots wouldn't really make sense down here bikini bottom isn't like a super advanced society right you wouldn't really say that they have much futuristic technology except when it comes to robots but why and what's even stranger is that there are many many instances where these robots suddenly turn evil the first time i really started to notice this was in the season 7 episode tunnel of glove spongebob and pearl get trapped in a glove world boat ride that's full of animatronics patrick tries to set them free by breaking into the control room but accidentally causes all the animatronics to suddenly turn evil and attack spongebob [Applause] now this is a pretty basic cartoon trope someone accidentally breaks the controls then the robot malfunctions and turns evil this isn't really all that weird for spongebob except what's strange about this is that patrick doesn't break any controls he hits a button labeled animatronic override and that's what causes the robots to turn evil i'll just gingerly lean on this wall [Music] they aren't malfunctioning the robots were intentionally designed to have a button that makes them attack people but why then in the episode good neighbors squooper discovers a flyer for a home security system that's suspiciously free despite it clearly being very advanced after he sets it up his house suddenly grows arms and legs and starts destroying bikini bottom wow squidward's house is destroying the neighborhood now to be fair this was a malfunction caused by spongebob but why would a simple home security system have giant arms and legs i mean the malfunction didn't create them they were clearly already installed they eventually do manage to stop the house but what's really creepy about this is that we can still see signs of squidward's house being sentient after this episode then in the season 11 episode krusty cleaners spongebob and patrick go to an office building and encounter a trash cleaning robot the robot immediately attacks them for causing a mess [Music] but this time there's no malfunction that causes this it's working exactly as intended not only does the trash robot have a buzzsaw and a literal laser cannon but it also turns all of the nearby machines into killer robots to help hunt down spongebob and patrick so where are all these places getting these super advanced robots and more importantly why are they all being programmed to suddenly turn evil this is a question that stumped me for a while until i watched the season 11 episode my leg this is the episode where i truly realized there was an actual conspiracy theory here and not just cartoon antics it's time we finally find out who is behind the robot invasion um hey um i'm still serious about you leaving this house it's not that i don't appreciate everything you've done for me it's just i think we want very different things you know i don't want to come to this but i will i will use force if i have to so you you better go the episode my leg focuses on the reoccurring gag of this one fish always injuring his leg throughout the show at one point in the episode he goes to a hospital and meets a robot that works there it's just a small throwaway gag the robot never turns evil or does anything strange [Music] but there's something awfully familiar about the robot's design let's go all the way back to the season 3 episode plankton's army which opens with plankton trying to steal the krabby patty secret formula with a robot disguise you never know what trick he'll use to steal me secret krabby patty formula what a quaint restaurant i think i will sample their wares these robots have an uncanny similarity right down to the same tie okay but maybe we could just chalk this up to the showrunners being lazy and reusing assets but spongebob has always had a pretty diverse amount of robot designs throughout the show and it's not like this is a direct copy paste either they went to the effort to redesign the facing colors but it was still clearly based on plankton's robot so here's my theory plankton has built many robots to try and steal the krabby patty's secret formula but i think after he fails to do so he doesn't just throw them away he redesigns the robots and then gives them to different businesses in bikini bottom with the intention to one day use them to take over the world once he has enough in place i mean we know what plankton really wants isn't the secret formula it's to rule the world i will rule the world and there's even the video game battle for bikini bottom where plankton tried to take over using an army of robots so this theory doesn't seem too farfetched for plankton's character but we're gonna need a lot more evidence if we're gonna prove he's the one behind all the robots in bikini bottom so let's get started in the season 3 episode no weenies allowed we see a robot working at a place called weenie hut juniors would you care for another diet cola with a lemon twist weenie and while it doesn't resemble any of the robots we've seen plankton make does that voice sound familiar to you would you care for another diet cola with a lemon twist what a point restaurant i think i will sample their wares and again it's not like this is the default robot voice we hear in spongebob there are many different voices the show is used for robot characters [Music] greetings no threat detected this is very uncomfortable alone but here they specifically recreated the voice from plankton's robots let's go back to glove world for a second in the control room we see a machine on the wall that looks shockingly like spongebob so much so that patrick even mistakes him for it we know plankton has built a spongebob robot before and welcome to the chum bucket maybe he repurposed it here inside of glove world in crusty cleaners the trash robot also has a striking resemblance to plankton's robot in the season 9 episode eek and urchin in the season 5 episode the patty gadget squidward tries to get spongebob fire by replacing him with a machine that creates krabby patties for free but it's never explained where squidward got this machine now it doesn't resemble anything we've seen plankton make but a staple in a lot of plankton's inventions is having them resemble his likeness especially with one eye in the middle and that's exactly what we see with the patty gadget and the patties it makes are terrible which would make sense for something flanked and made in the episode all that glitters spongebob buys a super advanced talking spatula 3000 at your service but in the episode evil spatula we find out plankton has a whole collection of advanced spatulas just like this one and even tries to trick spongebob into taking a talking spatula it seems like no matter where we turn we can find a connection between the technology in bikini bottom and plankton but if you remember in those glimpses of the future the world isn't just ruled by robots they've actually replaced all the existing citizens with robot copies and believe it or not this is also something we can already see happening in bikini bottom today get ready to see how far this robot invasion has really gone [Music] hey hey victoria what are you uh what are you what are you doing here um i was just around thought i'd stop by can i come in uh inside inside uh no no it's just it's not a good time right now um in all honesty it kind of seems like you're going through something i just wanted to check in on you uh i appreciate that it's just i'm fine you know uh it's just the the spongebob stuff has been keeping me really busy a little stressed about that and um but i'm fine you should you should probably go you're being really weird you're not entering your phone you're living in total darkness can you just talk to me what's going on okay fine okay we can talk just just not here fine do you want to get coffee or something sure fine yeah um uh i gotta put something away just stay right here now we know plankton has tried to turn people into robots before spongebob come in here or should i say robot bob but he gave up after spongebob was too annoying you've got to take that yellow nightmare back it's not worth it but i don't think this was his only attempt in the season 11 episode the checkup spongebob and squibbed are trying to give mr krabs a health checkup by testing his pinching reflexes okay i brought plenty of things for mr krabs to pinch a pinch of salt and one of the things they have in pinch is a baby a baby's cheek [Music] lucky that was a robot some random baby just turned out to be a robot and it's never explained why that's weird even for spongebob but things get even more interesting when we go back to season 9 in the episode plankton's pet where plankton tries to steal a krabby patty using the exact same purple baby as a robot disguise that diabolical fiend i can't believe this is working and we're not even done yet if we go even further back to the season 5 episode google gas we can actually see the exact moment where plankton gets the idea to turn the baby into a robot why you're so tiny and helpless i could take your formula whenever i wanted to and you couldn't do a thing about it that's it finally victory will be mine now in the episode it's implied that this is just him getting the idea to turn everyone into babies to steal the formula but isn't it crazy how it also perfectly lines up with the purple baby fish suddenly turning into a robot in future episodes now there's another fish who's always been very suspicious to me the strangely realistic news anchor fish all a bikini bottom is a buzz over the identity of a mysterious flying man who helps people who knows what superhero act of courage he'll astound us with next in a show full of cartoon characters why is he the only realistic one in fact i made a whole theory about how there are evolved cartoony fish that can talk and primitive realistic fish who can't but as many people have pointed out the one exception to this is the realistic news anchor fish well if you ask me he looks a lot like one of those animatronic singing fish you buy in a gift shop especially the way he mechanically moves his mouth and how we only ever see one side of him so already a pretty strong indication that he might be a robot but there's also something familiar about his voice what kind of cruel careless evil person i'll canvass all the serious lowbrow dives in town that's right he has the same voice as plankton and if you're going to take over the world then you're definitely going to want to control the media but how exactly is plankton replacing these people with robots well i think the season 10 episode whirlybrains gives us an important clue in this episode suddenly a new toy becomes extremely popular in bikini bottom the whirly brain just flip your lid attach the propeller and watch your brain into the air yeah it's a weird episode so people are actually voluntarily attaching devices to their brains and ripping them out of their bodies and no one thinks that this is suspicious if you ask me this seems like the perfect way to replace someone with a robot remember in welcome to the chum bucket plankton told us how he turns people into robots i'll be forced to remove your brain and then plant it in my robot chef by removing their brains but is there any proof that he's the one behind the whirly brain toys let's take a look at the new spongebob prequel the patrick star show every once in a while the show cuts to this stop-motion parody of frankenstein with plankton and he actually uses whirly brains to conduct his experiments it's not super clear how this all connects to the main show i mean we do see patrick interact with the stop-motion plankton at some point so they're at least in the same universe but regardless it's still a solid connection we see another head-based gadget in the season 11 episode bottle burglars an invisible helmet being advertised in a magazine for only 99 cents and in the same episode we see plankton using the exact same helmet crabs will never see me coming in visuals now maybe this is just implying that he bought the helmet from the magazine but that doesn't really line up with what we know about plankton as an inventor plus i can't see them selling a tiny version of the helmet just for plankton seems a lot more likely that plankton created the helmet and is selling them to the people of bikini bottom possibly as a way to create more robots alright so we're starting to get a pretty clear idea of how plankton plans on turning the citizens of bikini bottom into robots but there is one more character that i believe has already been secretly assimilated into a robot and it's not some random background character either it's one of the main characters in spongebob squarepants this final part of the robot invasion theory is going to completely change the way you look at the entire show are you ready because this is the patrick star theory [ __ ] victoria victoria now i fully realize saying patrick as a robot is a very bold claim but hold your judgments till the end by far the most requested theory i get on this channel is to cover patrick star and more specifically his inconsistent intelligence throughout the entire show there are these little moments where patrick suddenly says something smart i'm a bit more complicated than that the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma and then immediately goes back to being dumb [Music] there's so many examples of this happening that many people have actually made their own theories about it is patrick secretly a genius and just pretending to be dumb does he have a secret split personality i diagnosed patrick starr with trauma-induced anxiety triggered spontaneously duplicative multi-intellectual did with additional paranoid schizophrenic delusions of a mental multiverse uh maybe but i've come to a bit of a different conclusion have you ever noticed how every time we see patrick try to think there's either sparks or smoke coming out of his [Music] again head almost every time we see inside of patrick's head it's represented with gears or some kind of machinery [Music] now we're supposed to assume that this is just a cartoony way to visualize thoughts but what's strange is just how consistent they are with it and even stranger none of the other characters thoughts are visualized this way just got an order from the boss dump everything that isn't about fine dining squidward's happy gland is forced to take shelter in the recesses of his mind it's only patrick who seems to have this robotic association with him and just look at how detailed they are with it while patrick's head is sparking in rule of dumb if you look closely you can see a spring pop out of him and even a hole left behind by the spring that is such a small detail that no one would notice unless you were going frame by frame and if this is just supposed to be a metaphor inside of patrick's head how come spongebob clearly sees the spring come out okay okay so let's entertain the idea for a moment that patrick might be some sort of robot how would he have gotten converted and why does this cause him to randomly become smart every once in a while well i looked at all the scenes where patrick suddenly does something smart and i noticed a bit of a pattern there are two different types of these moments there are times when we think he's saying something intelligent wait spongebob we're not cavemen we have technology but then it's revealed he's not actually being smart this doesn't contradict his character at all patrick is someone who doesn't see himself as dumb so there's lots of times when he tries to be smart but he fails dumb people are always blissfully unaware of how dumb they really are but there are also moments where he actually does do something undeniably smart wait a minute squidward they might be on to something we could filter the co2 through our ballast tanks re-fire the engines and ride the shockwave out of here wow he's right but then he immediately acts oblivious to the fact that he was being smart we're going through with your plan patrick yay what plan so i kept track of these two different types of moments and it seems like after season three is when he suddenly switches from pretending to be smart to actually having these smart moments and this switch perfectly lines up with the season 4 episode patrick's smartypants in this episode patrick falls off a cliff and gets his head knocked off spongebob accidentally replaces his head with some brain coral which makes him become a genius i find all this laughter to be highly illogical in the end they switch back to his normal head and patrick goes back to his usual stupid self but take a closer look at the scene when he first puts on the brain coral here's your head [Applause] now many people have interpreted these gears with cobwebs as a metaphor for patrick's brain never being used until now but these gears are not from patrick's brain his brain came off during the fall which means these gears are entirely from the brain coral and at the end of the episode when they remove the brain coral we can still see the electrical plug attached to it we are no longer seeing a metaphorical representation inside of someone's head we are seeing this plug from an outside perspective the brain coral is just like the whirly brains a robotic device that plugs into your brain to control you isn't it convenient that patrick just happened to land next to a pile of coral that looked identical to his head is it possible that plankton saw this as an opportunity to add another victim to his robot invasion but after patrick removed it he went back to normal right he completely stopped plankton's plan right well one season later in the episode sing a song of patrick patrick attempts to use his brain again and we see the exact same gears inside of his head come on you stupid brain [Music] the creators went out of their way to recreate the exact placement of all the gears from the brain coral which means the head patrick put on at the end of patrick's smartypants was not his head it was another piece of robotic brain coral but it seems like for whatever reason this brain coral isn't as effective as the first one and he's only able to have rare moments of genius in the season 12 episode spongebob's big birthday blowout patrick has another one of his smart moments oh would you look at the hour it's almost time for me to take spongebob on that tour so you guys can decorate his house but this moment in particular is very interesting because plankton is actually there to witness it and take a guess how plankton responds to him i guess even a broken [ __ ] can be right once a day he calls patrick a broken [ __ ] because he knows patrick is a broken one of his experiments and if you still don't believe me in the newest episode of season 13 the goofy scoopers we get this scene this stinks i wanted to go backstage for an autograph plankton was here yes he certainly was and that is the robot invasion theory thank you very much okay robot invasion theory done hey we just passed 500 000 subscribers thank you guys so much this is honestly a dream come true for me i mean i've always wanted to have this many people watching me for um spongebob theories you guys wouldn't like all immediately unsubscribe and leave me if i stopped making these right uh thanks again for watching i've been your host the spongebob guy i will see you i'll i'll see you guys bye where's victoria do not give me the silent treatment right now i swear to god if you did something i'll [Music] oh my god victoria where were you i was using your bathroom why the [ __ ] are you pointing your knife at me uh okay it doesn't matter okay you cannot be here right now no i am not leaving until you tell me what's going on listen listen i promise i will explain everything to you later you just you cannot be in here why are you so afraid of me being in your house victoria i promise you this is not the time we have to leave right now your muse isn't gonna eat me what you mean the big tentacle monster in my basement yeah how do you know about that i have one too what [Music] so [Music] so [Music]
