ANOTHER Who Bob, What Pants? commercial

Another commercial for the new SpongeBob movie is on TurboNick. Watch it here.

It looks interesting. SpongeBob, being a famous fry cook, generally good friend of all the citizens, and having saved the world through the power of music once, is truly an important person. He may be far more important to the town than was first thought, though, because the commercial shows some sort of chaos breaking out without him.

"Sorry, but I think I'd remember an underwater talking weasel."
Don't say that to the Spandy 'shippers, Spongey.

The website says, "When SpongeBob tries to spend some quality time with his pals, he ends up being a real pain in the square pants and they tell him to get lost, so he does. But will he ever come back, or is SpongeBob lost forever? Will Bikini Bottom survive without him? Tune in on October 13th to find out!"

The airdate of our movie has been confirmed. I hope it's good, I hope it's good, I hope it's good...The whole "amnesia-by-being-bonked-on-the-head" thing is kinda silly and cliche, but let's not judge the movie by a very basic premise. :)

In my opinion, though, SpongeBob isn't the kinda guy who needs a lot of movies. Jimmy Neutron was fine with it (can't say I'm a big fan of that show), and Fairly OddParents did well with several movies. But SpongeBob waited a few years before making a movie, and that was a big thing! It was THE SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, and it was even in theaters. I heard that Mr. Hillenburg wanted to cancel the series after the movie, but Nickelodeon had other plans. It was THE movie...a big, dramatic event SpongeBob had never experienced before, where he was allowed to truly save the world and rock out on the big screen. The show continued normally after that, but the movie had it's place among the episodes.
(It's supposed to take place after all the episodes are over, so some people believe it has faded from the canon.)

Then, a few years later, they made Atlantis SquarePantis. It, in my opinion, would've worked better as a half-hour episode, as it had little plot, bad music, and retconned everything. LRH? What about Neptune and Mindy?

Less than a year later, we learn Spongey's got a third movie on the way. Go, SpongeBob! Redeem yourself with your new movie, and leave awestruck viewers cheering for more!
