"if mass extinction be something you wish!"
_"Spongebob Squarepants!"_
Who survived the apocalypse under the sea?
Spongebob Squarepants!
Then junk up the oceans and flop like a fish!
Spongebob's your uncle
would work better for the tune if you threw the word big between the words if and mass! :)
@@lacucaracha111111SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS
SpongeBob is eternal.
Ah hell nah spunch bop done survived the apocka lips
Agreed 😂
Especially since he can reproduce by budding.
El esponjibop
I mean, spongebob has been employee of the month for 300 plus months since 2002 😂
Apocalypse approaches...
Sponges: I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm Ready!!!!
IIIII CANT HEAAAAAR YOUU!!!
@@karansjet3823 OHHHHH...Who lives after an extinction under the sea?!
HAHAHA!!!
WHAT I LEARNED IN BOATING SCHOOL IS!!!
@@davidc8543 SPONGE AND SPONGE FRIENDS
Humans: hahaha you brainless creatures.
Sponges: You just wait.
Ray: Of course you forget, Peter. I was present at an undersea unexplained mass sponge migration.
Peter: Ray, the sponges migrated about a foot and a half!
@@philp4684 - I forgot about that. Thanks for the funny reminder.
Imagine how much deeper the oceans would be without all the sponges.
lmaooo that's so stupid and yet so funny.
This comment made me giggle extremely stupidly
Haha. Now get out lol
as deep as rock bottom may be? 🤔
Stephen Wright just chuckled
"Sponges grow in the ocean. That just kills me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen."
"We're all going to die!"
Sponge: "Skill issue"
Sponges: Everyone's dead, ugh, guess I gotta clean it up...😒
... _AGAIN!_
it's the after party!
@@smashlee6181 LOL
Spongebob must have been sad when Patrick died during the mass extinction
Lmao
@dominicharvery6048 Uh... Guys?! Should I tell him that in real life, Starfish (& Pufferfish) actually occasionally EAT Sea Sponges? Because... it ain't pretty...
@@londonjackson8986 - Nooooooo!
@@londonjackson8986I think we should probably leave that part out 😂
@@londonjackson8986 Mrs Puff and Mr Krabs too...
"sponges soak up mass death like a... come on, don't make me say it." ashamed to admit i stared into space for about 30 seconds going "? don't make him say what?????" before it clicked for me
Me too 😂
Can you say it? I didn't get it 😅
Sponge?
“Been spending most our lives livin’ in a sponge’s paradise…”
Filtered water once or twice, living in a sponge's paradise
Spongebob is both comically and scientifically immortal
[Mass Extinction Hits]
Sponges: "I didn't hear no bell."
Meanwhile Tardigrade: sitting on a meteoroid on his way to Andromeda after surviving all mass extinctions.
Mass Effect 4
Tardigrades are surprisingly not nearly as hardy as people think. They can survive a lot, but they die to mundane things all the time, like things eating them.
@@bengoodwin2141 That's true but those predators would die in the extreme environments where tardigrades survive.
@@ppsaha1994 That is also true, but it's not like exclusively predation kills tardigrades, and many other microscopic organisms are just as resilient, or more. For example, tardigrades do their drying out trick to survive unfavorable conditions, but other microbes just keep on living normally in those conditions, and the ones that don't have other strategies like forming spores.
You can call me Tardi, but I'm _always_ on time.
I would not have guessed Sponges being a cornerstone species but wow
Everytime he said spongeworld, I thought "you mean gloveworld"
Blehh >.< glove flavors!
Humans: oh no, a mass extinction!
Sponges: first time?
The universe will throw a lot at sponges, they will just soak it up.
So... When life gives you lemons, get a sponge?
This makes me think that if all the other characters in SpongeBob had died, SpongeBob and his relatives would be partying like no tomorrow.
Does SpongeBob have sponge relatives? I can only remember Patrick and Mr.Krabs.
@@americanwoman6246 yeah, spongebob's parents and grandma were in a few episodes,so he does have sponge relatives
@@anthonycrowley2264 😃😁
Could you make a video summarizing the five big mass extinction events? It would be great not only to gain perspective over the whole topic, but also to get a comparison about the causes, impact and aftermath of these events.
There's a great book on this, The Ends Of The Earth
So SpongeBob really could’ve never left his house. Used Napkin, Chip, and even Penny probably would’ve wasted away before he did.
This is a gold comment 😂👏
Can you feel it Mr. Krabs?
You may not like it, but this is peak performance. This is the ideal sponge body.
It was once a no bone zone out there.
sponges, coral, and plants of prehistoric times have to be one of the most under looked parts of the worlds before use. sure, there not as entertaining as moving organisms but they do make up a major part of their environments and are important for us to understand what the past of our planet looked like.
See plants coral are other things of that sort are the ones that actually construct the large scale physical environment other organisms live in. Reefs forests grassland etc.
Humans: "OH NO APOCOLAPSE IS APPROACHING!"
Sponges: "We win these"
Should have said, “We got this”.
@@sforza209 nah, we win these
Happy days are here again....
“IM READY! IM READY!”
I am watching this while washing my dishes
With sponge 🧽
Using a real dead animal oder just the sponge inspired plastic one?
spongebob series finale lookin grim tbh
He's got Dad Jokes and I approve
So strange that sponges are animals
Please do an episode on when India was an isolated island before it crashed into asia and the kinds of flora and fauna living during that period.
Nice!
RIP Steve Hillenburg. He taught us so much about sponges. I had no idea they like living in pineapples! 🌈
Sponge Bob would’ve loved sponge word! 🙃
Sponge bath.
No he wouldn't, he will lose this uniqueness.
this puts a whole new spin on spongebob's chaos
Blake's snarky, funny delivery, makes him my favorite EONS host!
Yay Blake! His voice rocks
thank yall for giving me a fun educational video every day for years, it’s helped me through a lot
I'm reminded of the quote from Ralph Wiggum on the Simpsons: "I beat the smart kids! I beat the smart kids!"
Sponges are the freakiest animal
mmmmm but siphonophores, though
siphonophores are real, and they can hurt you
Colonial organisms are all kinda crazy. Same DNA, same species, but can vary wildly in shape/size, jobs done, etc
I've never watched SpongeBob so those jokes would go over my head anyway. I've noticed he's drawn as an artificial kitchen sponge rather than something shown in the video.
@southron_d1349 - _Spongebob Squarepants_ is not a documentary, but a fun cartoon. Even to this adult, it is hilarious and adorable. He lives in the town of "Bikini Bottom" and his best friend is a starfish. It's a whole funny watery world.
@@MossyMozartsuccinctly summarized my friend
Life: *vibing*
The Ordovician Extinction: "Are ya ready, kids?"
All the other sea critters: "Sponges are stupid, weak, and fragile!"
Sponges: "Hold my dish soap!"
And they make great fry cooks
Oooooooohhhhhhh
Who lives through apocalypses under the sea?
SpongeBob SquarePants
So that’s why I have those nightmares about spongebob consuming everything.
So in conclusion: Spongebob feeds on the suffering of others, explains why would he keep torturing squidward and Mrs Puff
That oddly makes sense.
His laugh makes more sense, too...
@C-Farsene_5 That would so much damn sense... if it weren't so PAINFULLY out of character for him to actually do that intentionally!
This is SPONGEBOB we're talking about! Not Zim or Kefka!!!
I have a lot of respect for fungi and sponges and trees. Sometimes i wonder how they experience time. I mean they are alive, arent they?
Long live the Sponges!!! 😂
This is great, but how did the pineapple get under the sea?
I just got a dinosaur book lol, sponges have been around since the VERY early days relatively unchanged
It is weird how our whole understanding of the first mass extinction must be reassessed in light of a handful of samples containing thousand of sponges. What a discovery!
"Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis."
Always just so well written.
Sponge World! Sponge World! Party time, excellent! 🎸🎶🎵
Stephen Hillenberg would've loved this 🥺
SpongeBob would be proud & while Patrick ate everything 😂😂😂
Sponges, Tardigrades, Rats, and Cockroaches, the four horsemen of thriving in mass extinctions
Oh, how much I hoped to be a sponge that can watch the last days of life on Earth.
Still sad that no life will survive by the time of the collision between Milky Way and Andromeda though, it must've looked so cool 😢.
Maybe there is hope that we will spread the seeds of life to other worlds, so that Earth’s legacy won’t die with it.
Meanwhile, corals be like, "Help me, mothertrucker! Help... me...:
Tabulate and rugose corals be like: 💀💀
Soft corals are pretty tough
Imagine how much deeper the ocean would be if it wasn't for all the sponges... 🤣
Great series! Thank you.
SpongeBob, how could you!?
Love PBS ❤ Thanks for this amazing insight 👍
(Shaking cane made of sponge) Oh I remember when all was sponges, those were the days.
Been spendin most their lives
Livin' in a regional sponge paradise
Those sponges are real preppers.
"I am become death absorber of worlds"
- Spongebob SquarePants
that is so freaking cool... I now have a whole new attitude about sponges!
There were a butt load of SpongeBob's gigglin away back then. The whole world wriggling with giggles.
Hi Blake, Very interesting episode!
I would really like more long form episodes
Ironic that, after a mass extinction, life recovers by sponging off sponges!
Well this makes sense, since you already did an episode on how sponges kept animal life going through Snowball Earth
4:12 the origins of the Apple home pod
"Life Finds a Way" is what I was thinking. Oh Malcolm, we will never forget you.
Thank you for this incredible content!
Hmm gamma-burst...
Sponge-Hulk Purplepants?
The grim reaper always overlooks sponges cause they already look dead.
Great, information-packed video, as always. Nova could learn a few things from you guys.
I wonder how many Krusty Burgers those guys would make
Only southern Brits would say "ahfta-mahths"
Sponges survive when ocean too acidic.
*becomes
Glad to see you back! Missed seeing you deliver awesome science!
Anyone else read the title as Spongebob Will Survive The Apocalypse
I love Blake!!! All Blake, all the time, for my money!
Sponge World? Is that the new theme park opening in Bikini Bottom?
You forgot to mention them surviving two mass extinctions in the Tonian 🥺
SpongeBob: Hi SpongeBob!
SpongeBob to SpongeBob: Hi SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Hi SpongeBob!
Essentially The Ordovician Period…
3:30 "Hellooooh? Where is everybody?"
Nearly all life on Earth: (Dies)
Sponges: "Bahahahahahahahaha!"
Fantastic one 👏
I'm gonna say "true" for the triva. I know that the length between the beginning and end of the Mesozoic is longer than between the end of the Mesozoic and now. And I think that the three parts were fairly long each.
EDIT: Well, shoot. I guess I guess I was wrong.
Make more sponge videos! Sponges only please.
Just the cretaceous alone, early to late, was longer than the span (so far) of the cenozoic era... I just can't... 🤯
This just in, "sponges immortal?"
Do fungi play a similar role in mass extinctions? Given their role as decomposer and the environmental impact they have on ecosystems in refreshing nutrients and terraforming the soil
Lifeforms like sponges and worms are my faves, so chill and vibing.
Very cleanly produced.
I came for the gun show but I stayed for the SpongeBob jokes.
I um... came for the 'whole package'. Damn!
i love the Crash Course TB episode, and would love to see John do more episodes like it
Sounds like a clean time to be alive!
