In the Season 5 episode of SpongeBob SquarePants titled “Boat Smarts”, the episode is a parody of driving safety videos that showcase the driving habits of Squidward Tentacles, a driver with boat smarts, and SpongeBob, a driver without boat smarts. Most of the comedy in this episode stems from Squidward being the receiving end of collateral damage due to SpongeBob’s poor driving skills, and the various types of slapstick that come from it. There was this one scene in the episode that involves SpongeBob rear-ending Squidward which causes him to fly out of his boat, only to be crushed by a spiky steamroller. Also called, “The Contraption.” This makes me wonder. Why would a vehicle like this even exist in the first place? I have two possible theories as for why a vehicle like this would exist in the SpongeBob universe. For both of these reasons, I will be using bits and pieces from other SpongeBob episodes as evidence for my claims, as well as quotes from the show’s creators. Enjoy!

I've been aware of the criticism that I've been getting regarding how robotic my voice sounds in this video. If you have any advice on how I can make my voice sound more natural when reading off a script, I'm open to hearing it. For comparison, here's what my voice sounds like when I'm not reading from a script. czcams.com/video/l1KZvJMI3v4/video.html
Can't wait to see the improvements!
Mine does too man! It's so frustrating because I feel like I'm putting in a lot more expression while I'm recording than what the final product turns out to be.
Professional Actor here: In each sentence of your script underline or highlight the most important word in that sentence. When you're speaking while reading from the script make sure you put emphasis on all the underlined/highlighted words. Also be aware of the intonation of your voice at the end of sentences. You are dropping intonation more than you need and elongating the last word in each sentence which is what is giving the audio a "Burger King Foot Lettuce" type feel. I hope this helps!
What I did for my Aren’s Archive videos (which were college presentations) was to read the script a couple times to get myself accustomed to it, then record after I think it sounds natural. If I hear myself mess up or slip into an “obviously scripted” voice, I cut the recording and save it, then start a new recording 1 or 2 sentences before the part I messed up at. In the end I edit the takes together to create what I believe to be the most coherent voiceover. Then the video editing begins… (I like your video style btw!)
Well, after dealing with tons of speech issues from surgery complications, don't sweat it too much. You're completely clear and concise.
But if you feel like it isn't *you,* then perhaps get someone in the room to listen to you. Or even just someone on discord on your phone, in an earbud as you record.
Hearing someone prompt you with little nods, or uh-huhs can really make inflections happen naturally.
you sound like youre gonna tell me about foot lettuce
LMAO
i think hes trying to sound like that guy 💁♂️
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
Chills reference
i didn't know what that was until now.
Well when did you ever see homeless people in bikini bottom-
The funny thing about that is when I was typing the script for this video, the second theory was originally about population control. But as I looked more into it, it eventually became the mass extinction/corpse disposal theory.

ironic squidward was homeless in one episode

The Contraption Specifically Made to Crush Squidward at this Exact Moment
Well next to sandy, he is the minority suspect, so of course they’d have such a contraption made for him.

@@reversal2341oh yeah, it's all coming together
the idea of the vechile being made specifically to destroy squidward is absolutely funny and I don't know why.

Another Theory: maybe it's a Vehicle for harvesting Kelp or Seaweed that was on the Way to one of the Fields
Same
i actually like this theory the most as it's plausible since kelp has been used as food products in the show, and would offer a reasonable explanation for such a unique and bizarre looking vehicle.
Yeah Ngl I like the Idea of it actually being a Kelp Harvester, sorta like those massive mowers & corn harvesters some farmers use.
was thinking it could be for handling jellyfish/ nematode swarms. would explain the spikes, and also why its just on while in the middle of the road cause nematodes eat stuff up FAST
bro copied my comment 💀
Random object materializing just to injure someone in a film is one of my favorite plot devices ever
Oh shucks man, me too!
"at least I didn't explode"
My theory is that the roads we see in Spongebob aren't actually paved asphalt, as it would never dry being that they're under the ocean. So instead, it's all gravel and this machine is specifically used to even out the roads. The arm holding both cylinders looks like it could extend further, making both cylinders be on the ground. So essentially, the "Squidward Killing Machine" is actually just a Road Roller, but with spikes to deal with gravel.
Smart
The Correct answer
ROADROLLA DA!!
spongebob and patrick made a fire underwater
@FancyDakota there are several types of fire that cant be extinguished with water
Short version:They just wanted an excuse to hurt Squidward

Yeah but that's not the fun answer
according to the ifunny reaction image, that is "the contraption specifically designed to kill squidward"
Squidward’s killing contraption
That contraption
Cute pfp
LMAO
I think it’s just a kelp shredder. for collecting kelp for kelp shakes.
An actual answer, not a bad one either
YEAH!
I figured it was for crushing rocks
"Or kelp crunch, or kelp co..."
"...or kelp shakes."
For collecting kelp for kelp shakes. Or my DRINK. MY DIET DR KELP!!
Number 15 "Squidward Killing Machine"
The last thing you would want in your Squidward killing machine is a squid, but as it turns out that may be what you get.
A SquidChaner uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his tentacle in a killing machine with the statement
"This is what gets caught in your killing machines".
Admittedly he got caught accidentally due to a dubious little creature getting into mischief, but thats even worse.
Asoingbob and Mario 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Spinsbib and Patrik😂😂😂😂😂👍💯
The real question is, "How does it even stay like that?" You'd think the machine would start bending with the small amount of support it has.
Considering this is the only time we see this machine, it must be a prototype for something.
Don't forget that it is underwater. The force exerted by gravity is much lower because of the water's density.
@@NiAlBlack plus all the characters are pretty small, so the vehicle is probably the size of a small dog
Buoyancy probably has something to do with it.
Same way the spikes don't get stuck on the bottom of it
My friend group calls this thing the Throngler, and a more perfect name for it I could not imagine
"there is only one way to get throngled"
Oh my God it literally is
Good name. XD
My God, I've been calling it that for like 3 years it's amazing to know that more people independently thought of it
I love that this meme is people going back to this episode and going "hey.. wait... what the hell IS that.."
Nah we need the analyzing video of how big is bikini bottom actually
@@gameuniverse5973 I could look into it...
I like the first theory, and now it finally makes sense to me why littering is taken so seriously in the Bikini Bottom justice system. Good on Stephen Hillenburg for being against littering, and more specifically, ocean pollution.
And that's why he's the best!
@@AnimationFanboy2k4 He was number one!
Will not lie to you, I read pollution as population, and I’ve been laughing my fucking ass off for 5 minutes as a result.
Number 15 Squidward Killing Machine, the last thing you want your Squidward in is the Squidward Killing Machine
Lmfaoo
Lmfaoo
Turns out. That might be what you get.
The fact that the underwater city has a very strict law about littering is a nice detail
A few irl vehicles it could be:
-A underground mining vehicle,I forgot the name but there is a specifically low clearence mining vehicle that uses large spike adorned cylinders to grind away at rocks
-a industrial snow blower mounted to a front end loader
-a combine harvester
-a soil compactor,basically a steamroller with spiked/bumpy rollers meant to compact loose dirt at building sites
-a mine clearing tank,obvious questions there
-also forgot the name,but a tractor attachment that’s used to compact loose soil as well
-industrial size grass mower,possibly a front end loader mounted one
-some sort or weird tractor+wood chipper combo? I don’t think this exists
Regardless,none of these vehicles would make sense to be running on city streets though
i like the theory that it's a unique piece of farm equipment made for shredding kelp
Maybe they are going to their destination
@@cevatkokbudak6414 fair,but why would it be turned on? And besides,most industrial equipment gets its attachments detached for transport,unless it’s in some rural area,I’m not sure why it would be going through the streets with its equipment turned on
I think you're thinking of milling drums. I think you can get larger ones that face forward and down for road asphalt reclamation.
I’m sorry a *combine harvester* my brother in Christ is this half life 2?!
You can see from the reaction of the driver that this was not supposed to happen, so it surely wasn't made for either cars or squids.
i mean, they might not be expecting cameras to be watching
He was shocked that the squidward killing contraption *tm* actually caught a squidward without effort
Obviously it’s because they need to grind up the air for higher quality water.

Next video: How Tom and Jerry have constant access to dynamite and military bomb and grenade?
Because it was the 1940s and '50s meaning it was during and right after world war II and also back then people could just go into their local Ace hardware and buy a case of dynamite no questions asked no FEL needed no ATF etc and world war II veterans brought back all sorts of crazy shit because the bring back policies were very lax or even non-existent at that time
We see tom call up a business of cats two times he probably able to order stuff like that with Jerry stealing it
It was a different time. Probably ordered it out of a catalog.
The vehicle is probably for handling nematode swarms. Those weird worms that infest homes and eat them, as seen in the episode "Home sweet Pineapple".
Or a kelp harvester.
Ok, but hear me out
What if Bikini Botton has soo many people living there on an infrequent basis and having only a "set amount" of 538, is due to it being a tourist town?
I mean it has all of these wacky buildings centered around like 1 or 2 purposes, its close to the Lagoon apparently, and just like real life there are numerous real life towns with populations less than a thousands that are nothing but tourist attractions.
So this is my theory on why some episodes there are thousands of people while on other episodes there is like less than a thousand, its all due to the sesoanl tourist tides.
Why else does the Krusty burger get soo many customers?
How on earth is the Chum Bucket still in "bsuiness?"
Why do the police have a very serious no-litter policy?
And why would there be a free balloon day?
All of these questions could be explained by Bikini Bottom being a tourism town.
1. The Krusty Burger is owned by The Krusty Clown corporation to cash in on tourists from SpringField.
2. The Chum Bucket is still somehow in business due to "foreign" cuisine clientele, it just soo happens that we never see them, because he _has_ to be getting someone to eat there to pay for his property tax and utilities, so since chum is eaten by certain fish and other creatures, it would explain why he is still in business, and why he wants to steal the Krabbie Patty formula, since customers keep eating there during both the on and off tourist seasons and why its soo empty all the time since he most likely gets customers during specific times of the year.
3. The police obviously would have a serious no litter policy due to pressure by the mayor to keep the town "beautiful" to inctice suck...er tourists to keep being there.
4. Well free balloon day would obviously be one of the towns many tourist related events or attractions to draw in more money from tourists.
Also when Sponge Bob goes to Kelp city we can see how "run down" and "depressing" it is, which much like in real life would create incentive for people to have weekend "vacations" out to the countryside.
Also the jellyfish fields are possibly another close by attraction.
And it would explain why Mr. Crabs is always trying new serivces/products to get a quick buck.
Jellyfish fields is not close we have a confirmed distance from bikini bottom to Jellyfish fields 50 miles from the biker episode
Bro you straight up just confused the krusty krab with the entire town from the simpsons. Its the krusty krab, theyre in bikini bottom, which is on the bottom of the ocean
@@arandomsupra do you really think Krusty would let Mr. Krabs use his name without paying for licensing?
You know that would make a very cool fan animated spin off a court room drama about that.
Fully accepting this theory
Well how come we always see the same fishes walking around the town
This episode is funny af if you interpret it as Mrs. Puff asking Spongebob to be an actor in her instructional video (and asking him to bring a "friend," AKA Squidward), and then writing him in the pettiest way possible to smear his image while he's utterly confused about why he has to break so many rules but goes along with it anyway
Theory: The inventor had this vehicle in a fever dream and decided to build it while it was still fresh in his head hoping it would be useful.
I kinda had a feeling Stephen Hillenburg had littering be a crime because he wanted to discourage littering. Looks like I guessed right.
Bikini bottom has a national anthem, yet there’s an episode where SpongeBob leaves and crosses out the population on the welcome to bikini bottom sign and writes it as one less, where it’s only around 1,000 fish, so it might be a New York vs New York City situation where bikini bottom is a city in a nation called bikini bottom, which has more fish in it
Also, it could be a vehicle meant for extreme sports since there’s an episode where Ms puff tried to get SpongeBob killed in an accident at a monster truck fight, where vehicles similar to that one appear
Bro is cooking!!!!
@@micheal4526both new kelp city and bikini bottom only have mayors yet we obviously see military personal several times
Squidward getting cartoonishly hurt due to Spongebob's incompetence is funny.
Its a stupid funky steamroller with spikes that leaves no visible marks on squid after that scene is over and transitions into the next, its not the goddamn toenail scene.
Can't even think of that toenail scene without getting ptsd. I don't know why nickelodeon allowed something like to air and they were afraid of what Ren and Stimpy was capable of doing makes no sense..

It exists to pulverize Squidward. That is its purpose.
It was designed and manufactured for the sole task of annihilating a singular cephalopod at the bottom of the sea in a horrific accident.

Seeing the thumbnail and sheer premise of this video made me laugh so hard. Just imaging this arbitruary ahh death vehicle and somebody finally is like "wait wtf why"
9:06 Yes. For Anyone Wondering Chum Is Ground Up Fish Organs. And That’s Not A Theory It’s A Fact
most likely used to get rid of dead coral and rocks for construction reasons.
why is bro talking like chills lmaoo
Everyone wants to copy and paste from other CZcams channels
Because he’s probably new to reading from a script, this is the kind of voice I fell into during my public speaking final, because I knew that I was not having a natural conversation
I'm guessing for comedic purposes
@@GloryBlazer nope, pinned comment has him asking for advice. He has trouble reading scripts naturally, instead reading them in the voice high school students use when being forced to read aloud from a book they aren’t interested in / nervous about public speaking
My theory is that its a prop for the Extreme Sports scene in Bikini Bottom. Those cauldrons of lava, fire rings, spiky mashy plates, and giant boxing gloves gotta come from somewhere!
If you think bout it its kinda cute that sea creatures care alot about littering

Because Squidward needed to be mauled for having boat smarts. That’s the only reason why this vehicle exists, because Squidward torture.
I feel like people take that episode too seriously since it’s just a parody of cheesy drivers ed safety videos.
@@skyslasher2297 The problem is that the good driver gets into frequent crashes thanks to the bad driver, while the bad driver is completely unharmed. It’s the wrong way around.
Also, the bad driver with no boat smarts says “Looks like you forgot your boat smarts”, to the good driver with boat smarts, which is nothing but a stinger.
My theory
this is how they make chum, and plankton a inventor and pretty evil, collects the scraps and also makes these devices, just like how bikini bottom has diff laws and habits than the real world above them.
the homeless harvester
You will never be Chills
I like that neither is mutually exclusive. Corpses could be considered waste to be removed/repurposed
#15… Burger King foot lettuce
The machine's design makes me laugh so much bc it can only be practical when crushing Squidward at that moment.
There is no other use for it, it just wouldn't be the best tool for the job.

I like how idea number one is harmless and makes a lot of logical sense... But then idea number two is basically one of those dark spongebob theories. XD
I'm pretty confident the vehicle canonical purpose is to mutilate Squidward and only Squidward
My spur-of-the-moment theory as to what the heck that vehicle is is that it's some kind of farming machine, perhaps similar to a real-world combine, designed to harvest kelp and other tall plants.
Realistically it looks like an airator
Millions of innocent lives can be interpreted as it going beyond bikini bottom, the pretty patty customers could be assumed its people form different cities coming to bikini bottom.
We see a Scottish fish say it reminds him of home with when SpongeBob was looking for snail bites go to several places that look like fish versions of existing countries
This could also be considered hyperbole
@@a.a.1012, that’s also a possibility.
The hick town line from squidware sounded more like him boosting his ego for saying that the bikini bottom is a hick town to show they are beneath him.
Doesn't the cylinder spin in the opposite direction for it to be trash collection?
It doesn't even have anything to collect trash into
why do you sound like that
Why doesn't he?
He has the CZcamsr accent💀
he may be somewhere on the spectrum. Not to make fun of him just an observation
He sounds like Chillz ,and chillz sounds like that because he has only one lung so it might be the case for this guy too.
I haven’t even watched the video, and I’m astounded at this question even being asked. “The Contraption” has many uses, explicitly stated in the show already, such as:
1. Crushing Squidward
2. Crushing Squidward
3. Crushing Squidward
4. Crushing Eggman
5. CrushinG Squidward
Be sure to actually study when you’re going to make a video about a topic that’s already been discussed.
6. Crushing Squidward
7. Crushing Squidward
8. Crushing Squidward
9. Crushing Squidward
10. Crushing Squidward
I know this is a no fun answer, but I genuinely feel it’s built SPECIFICALLY to crush squidward and spit him out. It doesn’t have anywhere to store stuff like trash or seaweed, so it can’t be picking stuff up, and even if it was, why would it need 2 things of spikes? The only function it could have is to pull in, crush, and spit back out whatever it catches
bro perfecting his chillz voice
That steamroller scene had me dying the very first time I saw it. Still cracks me up every time 😂😂
Burger king foot lettuce ahh voice
why do you sound like burger king foot lettuce
i always thought that they were the show's version of a demolition vehicle (since cars are replaced with boats in the show)
The machine is likely to use for the cut down the coral trees or something
its the Squidward destroying machine obviously
So the Chum Bucket is a restaurant for the local cannibal population?
I'm pretty sure there's an episode on the origin of plankton's chum where it turned out to not be meat
Its clearly the, "kill Squidward" machine
I love this more than Krusty Krab Training video
KKTV was just a funny parody ig
But THIS one was short so it didn’t drag, plus it had memes I find more memorable
The chum has been confirmed by showrunners and I think in an episode as vegan
Bro thought, "Uplifing" was "Uplifting" 🤣
If you look at the arms of the vehicle, it seems it would be able to unfold to where both rollers are on the ground, giving the driver a perfect view forward. The vehicle is probably for clearing landmines.
bro think he 's alex bale 💀 btw nice content
Nice video. Hilarious hearing you explain this dark theory in such a straightforward way over footage of the fish being comically launched into the distance before exploding like an atomic bomb. XD
Kind of like how Gold Experience Requiem's ability is to Trap Diavolo In An Infinite Death Loop Simulation, the spiked steamroller's purpose is to Capture Squidward And Kill Him When He Flies Out A Car After Getting Rear Ended By Spongebob
9:02 Maybe at night they drop the bodies into the hand holding the bucket. A blender inside the hand breaks up the bodies, and the handle of the bucket is actually tubes that transfer the chum to storage. All with the press of a button.
3:43 I was hoping you would say this, and you did. Props my dude. Hell yeah. Also it's really not silly when you think about what littering does to fish in general.
Its franks long lost twin brother from cars
I'm pretty sure the vehicle could actually just be like a construction vehicle like a forklifter or cranes, but instead of helping in construction sights, it is instead used for shredding and disposing of non-wanted features and objects to the construction process. And the corpse theory would go well with the whole timeline of chum and its history to why the vehicle was created.
I think it's used for building roads, building a road on wet sand would be different than on dry ground, this could be used for mixing up the sand with a layer of gravel or something.
This hole time SpongeBob was just a propaganda psyop to get people to stop littering.
Again with the chum with corpses in it, theres chum in the patties and yet theyres officially no meat in them, and theres a recent halloween special outright saying the chum is made with vegetables
Here's my personal theory: the writers of the show wanted a funny way to hurt squidward
The universe literally bends over backwards to torture Squidward as much as possible.
Glad that stupid voice was only for the intro. I’d rather not hear it at all to begin with, but at least the whole video wasn’t that voice.
it exists to crush squinglerb
It's the squidward crushing machine. It's designed to crush squids.
Remember that one time Patrick was at the Olympics and fried a bunch of fish to death only for the, to be sold as fish sticks immediately after? …Yeah, regardless if the second theory here is right or not, it's still not hard to see that a lot of the residents are cannibals. (Which is also how it works with many types of fish in real life to be fair)
Regarding the second Theory: considering the Theory that Bikini Bottom might be located at the Bikini Atoll (which I personally see as Cannon 🙃), Birth Defects are probably also way more common, which could also lead to a declining Population
Yeah theres a way to prove and disprove the bikini atoll theory...
You can prove it by showing at the end of the first Spongebob movie when Spongebob jumps off the Earth you can see that where he jumped was near the same location of bikini atoll...
Now we know that the bikini atoll atomic nuke mutated them right?
Now you can disprove this by saying that when Squidward went back in time he went to a prehistoric Earth where there was still sentient "mutated" versions of fish...
So its only a matter of opinion...
@@K.O-ANIMATIONSwe literally see both old and medieval times for bikini bottom long before nukes where a thing
@@gameuniverse5973 Yeah
i think that the vechile was specially constructed so it would feature in that one psa clip.
Yeah that's what I mean
Or maybe that's how Plankton stays in business. Bikini bottom sells him the dead bodies and then he disposes of them. 😅
Theory: the guy had a beef with Spongebob and was trying to get revenge but accidentally got Squidward.
This video is actually pretty professional. When I watched this, I thought you had 20k+ subs. I was wrong. You deserve more!
Chatgpt type dialect
your voice inflection sounds like a combination of chills and some other thing
another theory i have is that bikini bottom was recently at war and the vehicle was a retired war vehicle possibly used to unalive many enemy soldiers at once and spongebob is a war veteran due to him being anxious when losing his name tag and the foghorn being the only alarm the can wake him up like the bugle horn call and the foghorn thing being possibly from ptsd and mr. krabs being a captain of a battleship and thats why mr krabs says "spongebob me boy" and nuclear weapons being used to unalive many inhabitants or unalive soldiers and also high radiation causes them to be able to talk and loss of inhabitants also from a draft to war where many got unalived. thank you for listening to my TED Talk.

Number 15, Bikini Bottom steam roller
I think it could be made for making sand! Since the fish are sapient and aren't swimming around, manually chewing up coral, they would likely have machines to do the work for them.
Just look up parrotfish, they use those terrifying mouths to make beautiful beaches!
Its also half of why the pokemon Bruxish looks so uncomfortable.
