Welcome to another edition of MORTY, where I look back on old theories and see if there was anything I missed! Today, I'm taking another crack at Spongebob Squarepants himself. There was a popular theory going around about how Bikini Bottom was the result of nuclear testing. Could that be TRUE? You'll have to keep watching to find out!

    Matpat should make a theory on how much money Phineas and Ferb spent that one summer
  • Of all the "disturbing" cartoon theories I had come across in the past, this one always felt like one of the least absurd/most plausible ones.
  • This theory has been proven in the show. In Feral Friends from season 10, a "Neptune's moon" releases a weird radation that temporarily demutates the members of Bikini Bottom. The caveman episode that's referred to here takes place in the BC era, with BC referring to "Before Comedy", meaning that spongebob timeline is seperate from human history.

    Matpat: "Movies treat nuclear Like some sort of magic dust" Ad: "There's magic all around"
  • @zlch4021
    So this begs the question: How DID the nuclear experiments affect bikini bottom? Clearly bikini bottom existed at Bikini atoll when a bunch of humans started dropping bombs on them— how did the bikini bottomers of the 40s react to that? A very interesting theory! There is nuclear fallout left throughout the show, like in that one episode where SpongeBob accidentally creates a monster from the vats of nuclear acid just chilling around, so clearly there were nuclear weapons around bikini bottom!
  • Fun fact: the creator of SpongeBob has a degree in Marine Biology so many of the things seen in the show are accurate. Such as the way scallops move in the show.
  • @michaeliv284
    I have a way to help this theory along. The movie said Spongebob had 374 consecutive employee of the month awards. That is over 30 years and no one appears to change. Bikini Bottom is clearly on an accelerated timetable
  • @MikeyDL69
    MatPat’s videos in general: Well yes, but actually no.
  • 🤔 Matt Patt never considers that the Bikini Bottom historical time line might not be the same as the human one (ex. the medieval period for SpongeBob’s world might not be the exact same as the human world). Regardless, very interesting and otherwise thorough theory.
  • @JetblackJay
    Oh wow matpat acknowledged the prehistoric stuff nice
  • @ManiacElkRev
    What if we've only seen their timeline? Like only after the atomic testing. That would mean the prehistoric SpongeBob and Patrick was really them right after the bombs went off or whenever they first mutated and they were so unique they literally went through our history at a accelerated rate. Leading to what we see today.

    At 5:30 when it shows the photo u see the little island on the right that is shown in every beginning of the episode
  • @Sefay38
    matpat I am crying right now! I need you to do a pt.2 because you have only scratched the surface of this theory!

    6:43 "Why is the Hulk green and super strong?" Shows a picture of gray Hulk
  • @rawr1208
    ah one small problem, spongebob, the show specifically it shows how quick their civilization grows, it goes from stone age to 1900's as you can see in spongebobs family tree, look at southpark for an example, specifically cartmans seamen
  • @mugiwaramochi
    Can you make a spongebob theory on Mrs. Puff's Character? The way her character information is written is really interesting!
