The Squidward Atlantean Theory

- Squidward is not a squid, he's not even an octopus. As strange as it sounds, there's evidence that he's an Atlantean. This might be one of the strangest SpongeBob theories that I think is actually true.
- Zábava
And Squidward was the only one who knew about the Atlantean amulet in the first place
That's a interesting Theory
Which was ALWAYS suspicious to me
Ok so he's the only one that paid attention in school
@@TravisWilson-r3w no Sandy would’ve known about it too. honestly, I’m pretty shocked that they didn’t weave her research into this somehow. also, Mr. crabs should have known about it too because I’m sure that was a valuable artifact and he is super dialed in when it comes to stuff like that.
@@CultOfMajora yeah no none of that is true you're just making excuses after getting called out
This truly makes more sense then the seven deadly sins theory
Yeah, that one always felt like a stretch.
Every spongebob theory makes more sense than that one
oh you mean the "spongebob is lust because he's happy" lol
lmao@@LDT2001
Well, just that it is confirmed and not just a theory xD
ngl this actually makes the Band Geeks episode even better because Squidward achieves his dream/goal by opening up to everyone, and surpasses Squilliam who could be seen as the negative aspects of "Squidwards people"
This is actually the most solid SpongeBob theory I’ve hear in years! I’m hoping this blows up for you!
Thanks! I hope so too.
Maybe Squidward species are half bloods of octopuses and atlantians
Don't give Artists any Ideas like that 😂
@@Firestar-TVdude even before he commented that, be real with yourself it already was thought of. At worst hommie here gave reminders. Sure more damage still is more damage but we could atleast act like the problem is nothing new to us.
Maby that's true
That works
Or unaugmented atlanteans that are just humanoids evolved to live underwater? Or the unaugmented base form
I always thought the "Squid's got genes" line was strange. This is a really good theory
I enjoy this theory a lot! It feels nice to have an explanation behind Squidward's behavior and beliefs.
There is and it's unrelated to this false information video
Sixth comment, just leave this video haha. Your giving this video to get more popular adding more addition comments just because your offended for some reason that someone had a theory.
@@begalandersmith1325frl
Is even more mind blowing that Squidward feels that there is something that makes him unique compared to others. Neither he know is that the biggest problem in his life (Spongebob, patrick and the others) is what makes him unique. He is the one who truly have friends that aren't "squidwards" and that respects him and loves him in their own way
Naw bro you smokin fent
@@dunkawunka2278in the episode where squidward goes to tentacle acres, he becomes like SpongeBob, this kind of proves that he’s right
@@ThisIsAHandle-xz5yono it doesn't
@@dunkawunka2278 Watch the video
Squidward and spongebob do have a love hate relationship. But you cant really deny that they are somewhat friends since squidward at some point cared for spongebob especially in the episode where they delivered pizza together.
yeah sure ill adopt that into my worldview
same lol
The strangest aspect of Tentacle Acres is that neither Squidward nor any of the other residents painted once during that episode. Squidward was definitely enamored by the segregated community’s predilection for obscure food items, interpretive dance, biking, and playing the clarinet. But he ultimately forgot what made his life special: art. He went to school for it. Perhaps most of the squids look down on art, in opposition to their heritage.
Their people, in rejecting the ways of their ancestors, disconnected themselves from any arts that elevated things beside themselves. Artistic expressions that glorified the self were sought after, but their divorce from divinity left their efforts hollow and doomed to mediocrity.
@@DISTurbedwaffle918you pathetic people need to stop making fake theories because you crave attention
This makes sense given the fact that a lot of species, Greek, and magic based lore is dumped into this show in plain sight
What I mean by that is basically the only real continuity in SpongeBob is the species and magic based continuity
Except no it's not and none of this is true
@@TravisWilson-r3w fifth comment thread. How many have you commented on….

Not just yours. It makes too much sense.

Watched this with my mom
"This was such a cute and neat video"
Congratulations you got my mom's seal of approval
now this is what i called a "good theory". a good theory doesnt need like solid proof or whatever it has to have interesting connection and also obsecure and not obvious enough.
If there was proof it would not be a theory but at least you admit they're lying
I always really liked Atlantis SquarePantis, never understood why it gets so much hate. I love how it pays homage to Greek mythos and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I also quite like the songs, the art style changes, and DAVID BOWIE. This episode is so much better than people give it credit for.
People don’t like it? It was always my favorite as a kid
None of that is true
@@TravisWilson-r3w at this point it’s just sad how many negative comments you’ve given.
I also like that episode.
@@begalandersmith1325 buddy made his acct 2 days ago jus to be a hater😂
The fact that there are Squidward-like statues close to the war elephant in the ancient Atlantis paintings 7:51 as some kind of worshipping kinda proves all of this to me
I don't see them
Where are these statues
A statue would not prove any of that
me before watching: hmm might be kind of a stretch, but it looks interesting.
me 3 minutes in: this is the most correct spongebob theory ever. he's absolutely right.
just finished it. genuinely i hope this gets more views and becomes one of the most popular spongebob theories up there with "skin theory". this feels basically canon.
Thank you, I hope so too.
So…..
Atlanteans and Squidward’s species are analogous to Romans and Italians respectively?
Or perhaps, Vulcans and Romulans?
Also, as a kid, when Squidward said “genes” I thought he meant “jeans” as in pants
I am so glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that as a kid.
@@Squirreled_Studio there was probably others besides us,
I know when I got older and learned what genes were, it made way more sense.
Little was wondering to himself “but he doesn’t wear pants…”
bro… you just blew my mind. i love these kinds of “so weird they make sense” theories
It doesn't make sense
This is the first time that I'm accepting a fan theory as fact, bravo!
"little hair cut for baby boys" took me a second lol!! 😂
circumcision?
@@BigFootJinxLol baby boy with little hair cut here. Can confirm
Also in the episode naughty nautical neighbours, squidward blows a bubble to send a secret message to make Patrick and SpongeBob to hate each-other. The shape of the bubble he blows is the same shape as the oldest bubble, plus making bubbles is in his genes so he inadvertently blows that shape.
No it's not yet another liar
@@TravisWilson-r3w uhh, okay.. just my visual opinion. Not lying about, if you don’t agree then you don’t agree. I’m not lying about anything 😂😂 have a good day
Well, octopus are alot smarter than most of the fish in bikini botton so it makes sence that there would be a whole gated community of octopus.
This make the "lore" of spongebob much cooler and deep, like, greek mythology and super evolved species? This is canon now
Absolutely
No
@@TravisWilson-r3w :(
This was an absolute trip 😂 I'll never look at SpongeBob the same
This is deep!!!! Great work.
Also, Atlantis Squarepantis is a chill cozy episode, idc what anyone says.
Squidward could have combined Atlantean and octopus heritage?
As someone who studies Christian theology and ancient Near Eastern religions, I was impressed by your arguments in this video. I particularly enjoyed the part about the schism between the pro-Bubble Atlanteans and the anti-Bubble Atlanteans. The part where you analyzed the physiology of squids and octopuses was also enjoyable.
You clearly don't know what study means so if you were impressed by this garbage you aren't that smart
I’m going to point out that they could very well have tentacles as they are wearing gloves and shoes to cover up their hands and feet. Following SpongeBob’s cartoon logic, these could actually look like humanoid limbs while actually being tentacles.
No they literally have tails try again
@@TravisWilson-r3w hey, I didn’t notice it at the time
@@ProdigyMaster100ignore him, it seems like he's a kid commenting and arguing on any sort of constructive input
i think it's more likely that the atlanteans' descendants just evolved to have tentacles rather than fingered limbs.
at 3:27, you can see they clearly have regular hands and such, so the same probably goes for their legs as well.
Squidward's species have been instinctively trying to connect back to a culture long forgotten this entire time 😮
SpongeBob and Patrick are like embodiments of Squidwards horrible life and eternal torment, he flat out doesn't deserve it and could grow if given the right chance but they ruin everything for him leaving him eternally damned at no fault of his own, somethings are his fault but that's within a world he's not meant for, of course he's going to be irritable and in the original at least, sometimes a jerk, it's a miracle he was only ever at worst a jerk with his life
But at the same time, older episodes showed hints of them actually being friends somewhere under squids hard shell
@@danielloewen2857him standing up for SpongeBob with the pizza guy, making SpongeBob’s last day the best it could be when he thought he killed him, sleeping over even when he could have gotten away with it by lying, are all examples of squid wars caring about SpongeBob
You people are pathetic making up information for fan theories
@@TravisWilson-r3w some of the stuff they’re saying is extreme, but SpongeBob and Patrick have ruined his life several times
@@ThisIsAHandle-xz5yo false he ruined his own life by caring about other people's lives and feelings
when a troll arguement gets too real
Another point of connection too the Atlanteans and Squidward's species is just how quickly both parties completely loose their cool when something annoys them. Before someone says it, popping the Atlanteans most prized cultural artifact is *ABSOLUTELY* worth being pissed off about and honestly who wouldn't feel intense anger if something like that happened; the point I'm trying to make is before the bubble popped the Atlanteans were shown to have a reasonable grasp on their anger, just enough to talk things out before resorting too violence, but they still have a short temper. Now look at Squidward's people, one of their defining characteristics as a people is their short temper; the character traits of certain types of species in Spongebob have remained fairly consistent over the years, sponges find joy everywhere they go, starfishes are just kind of dumb, crabs are some level of greedy, and the regular fish are just not all there in the head, and the Atlanteans and Squidward's species both share a trait, having a short temper. So, yeah. =P
This theory is so crazy and so amazing I bet the king of SpongeBob theory’s(Alex bale) would be proud.
Thanks for the heart cool internet man
Thanks for the comment cool Internet viewer
@@Squirreled_Studio successful internet conversation 👍 lol
Squidward = David Bowie is what I’m getting from this and I’m fine with that
this is so funny. i lost it when u said they rejected the worlds oldest bubble! lol
This was absolutely incredible.
This is the best video in the sponge algorithm. Kudos
no bc not only do I fully believe this now but the way you explained them clinging onto a past that doesn’t exist anymore is so true and so poetic
I felt personally attacked by your closing statements lol Fantastic video, one of the more plausible theories I've heard.
Usually dont comment on these kinds of videos, but this is really underrated… and a very intriguing theory!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
This is legit ingenous
Thanks!
This theory was way better than I was ever expecting when randomly clicking on this video. Well done my dude!
this is shockingly convincing and im now accepting it as canon tbh. i wanted to add that maybe another explanation for the changes in appearence between atlanteans and "squidwards" could be evolution. After being left in the ocean without the aid of technology their bodies couldve adopted a morphology that facilitates subaquatic life (referring to the tentacles). But the religious explanation is also very possible
What a depressing ending 😞 That is the one thing we can have going for the SpongeBob storyline that could actually be a huge thing if followed up. But it sucks how it's just an episodic plot. Poor Squidward. Mind blowing video theory btw. Awesome research 👏 Ps. Quick! Someone write a fix it fanfic I'm begging-
This theory is actually surprisingly sound! Good job!
. i love your writing skills, this theory is pretty much fullproof
This was a great video!! I can't wait to see more from you!
Thanks! I’m excited to make more for you.
Id love to see more episodes of Squidward chilling with Atlantians
Though ngl his design is better
I‘m looking at the time remaining in the video like damn bro you already convinced me in the first 5 min 😂
This seems pretty obvious looking back at it.
rick and morty pfft, i love squidward atlantean theory now
you’re very underrated, this was a W theory btw great work!! ^^
Glad you think so!
i feel like they probably weren't exiled but they left on their own
not to say that this isnt the most coherent and concise theory about spongebob ive ever heard though
That is another possibility.
This SpongeBob lore is on par with Minecraft's.
None of it is true you people need to stop making up fan stories on CZcams
One of the best Sponge Bob theories
While a bonkers theory, it was very entertaining.
Plus there is Squidwards secret society.
I wish we could get an official answer from the creators about this theory
They did. They said squidward is a octopus but squidward sounds better than Octoward
Brilliant!
Wow, awesome theory!
This makes perfect sense!
We need more!!
I love this theory!!
This is so weird it makes sense
Love that your channel name is the longest monosyllabic word in english (in american pronunciation of course)
it's not monosyllabic even in american english though relled is it's own syllable
@@wildstarfish3786 in American English, it is usually pronounced like "skworld", being one syllable. Some people do pronounce it with two, like you said, as in "skwih relled" (in the majority of UK dialects and accents it is pronounced like that with two), but in my accent it's just one. It's dependent on how you speak, so for a lot of people the word "strengths" would be the longest monosyllabic word
This makes too much sense. This feels right.
SWUIDWARD IS AN OCTOPUS GOD DAMNIT!
This is literally one of the first few points I talk about in the video. We see what octopuses look like in SpongeBob, and they look nothing like Squidward.
@@Squirreled_Studio different breed of octopus maybe? I mean SWUIDWARD is stated in the show to be specifically a giant Pacific octopus. I mean we've seen other sponges, even SpongeBob's own parents, cousin, uncle, and grandma, and SpongeBob looks nothing like them but I don't see anyone arguing he isn't a sponge.
@@Squirreled_Studio also,.and this actually just occured to me. Bikini bottom is located at bikini atoll. It's possible that squidards people in particular were mutated more heavily by the radiation than other octopi.
@@jamielishbrook2384Good points
This is actually insane. Wow!
New lore for my head canon
Squidwards name in the Dutch dub is called Octo :)
Can’t believe I’m this deeply invested in SpongeBob lore .
This is the best SpongeBob theory I’ve seen In a WHILE
A whole entire species changed all because they rejected a bubble
I Love this Theory!
Has anyone seen the movie called vivarium? That’s what tentacle acres reminds me off for those who have not seen id recommend either looking up clips on here or watching the full movie you can possibly find it on Netflix depending on what region you’re from ik North America has it on Netflix, but seriously give it a watch so you can see what I mean!
If you look at the painting (about their history with the oldest bubble) you can see their face resemble to Squidward
Very fun video, Great theory, I can totally see the writers setting this up and having a good time with it, the ancient ones from the painting look way to much like the “ squids” But I think squidward is pretty happy surrounded by his friends he genuinely cares for, but doesn’t want to admit that.
Stephen Hillenburg has already confirmed Squidward was an octopus. He gave him 6 limbs as he was worried 8 would be too many.
Almost makes me wish the series actually had consistent lore for this to matter.
Why does all of this guy's videos have to be so convincing...
I know the brainrot has me in a chokehold because I thought he was gonna say newports instead of canned bread at 4:12
THE BIGGEST CRIME IS THAT THIS EPISODE WAS A MUSICAL AND STARRED DAVID BOWIE AND HE DOESN'T SING AT ALL
They probably couldn't afford a song from him. Which absolutely sucks but makes sense. At least he worked on a song in the stage musical.
So the theory of Bikini Bottom and Atlantis having a Civil War and Bikini Bottom is a break away state is possible.
Squidward is a Giant Pacific octopus. That's canon.
if squidwards people rejected the oldest bubble before their species became augmented how come they too were brought to earth along with the augmented atlantians?
I totally believe it. The atlantian character model is so bizarre with so many unacknowledged details but which had to have some imagined reason by the show makers. It looks like they took squidward, gave him a nose job, lip injections, and human limbs in a robot jumpsuit
The show artist have definitely said he’s an octopus. He just has 6 legs to make his character look less busy
Squidwards house looks more like the Atlantians than himself.
I'm sure you meant to say Jupiter, not Zeus, as Neptune's brother.
Unless that's his name in the show.
Squidward has mention himself as a octopus in the patrick game episode
That's a modern episode.
One thing to add is that swuidward and his kin walk on four tentacles paired into two pseudo legs. Maybe the heels the Atlanteans wear are to fit two tentacles, one forming the heel, and the other the ball of the foot.
Squidward literally calls himself an octopus in one of the episodes
Squids and the Atlanteans
Squidward isn’t a squid, he is an octopus lol.
To add to this theory, look at the color of neptune and squidward. its very similar. I think the split was actually one of pride. The atlanteans in current times worship neptune while the squids worship themselves. The art they make is " in their gods image" while the squids make art in their own image. It's closer a relation to heaven and hell. The sin of pride being their downfall and atlantens giving up their earthly form to achieve something greater than themselves.
oh, and on bubble blowing being in his genes, it was only when he was finally able to put his pride aside (out of spite mind you), and blow a bubble that he finally was able to become a talented clarinet player.
I've also noticed the biblical connotations.
They're not the same color
