Leaked SpongeBob Audio Will Blow Your Mind

Jul 03, 2024 7:43 PM

Recently, a rare audio recording from the classic SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Shanghaied" has surfaced online. This raw audio includes SpongeBob swearing, various gags, and origins of popular memes from the show. The 1-hour 14-minute clip, featuring Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), and Brian Doyle-Murray (The Flying Dutchman), contains multiple outtakes and behind-the-scenes conversations. Notably, some lines in the original recording were altered for the final airing. The unexpected find brings joy to fans, although many are concerned about its longevity online. The show, which is currently in its 14th season, has been renewed for a 15th season.

What was changed in the original SpongeBob episode "Shanghaied"?n

In the original recording of "Shanghaied," certain phrases were altered for the final episode. For instance, SpongeBob's phrase "The sky had a baby!" remained the same, but Squidward's suggestion to climb the "umbilical chord" was changed to "anchor rope." Additionally, Patrick's line, "I knew our outfits weren't skimpy enough," was cut entirely to meet censorship standards.

"Shanghaied" is notable for its interactive airing, allowing audiences to vote on two alternative endings, differing based on which character received a 'wish' from the Flying Dutchman. The episode is remembered for its memorable gags, including Patrick’s "LEEDLE EEDLE EEDLE" yodel and the "perfume department" chase. Created by the late Stephen Hillenburg, SpongeBob SquarePants debuted in 1999 and has become a cultural phenomenon, influencing many aspects of modern popular culture.
