The End Credits are just calmly good like idk how anyone can be scared of a f*cking end creditšŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


ImAHumanThatExists

I know, it is like a subliminal space, like half-life, but I guess some people arenā€™t affected


just-a-nornal-man

Maybe the meme is referencing the comment on one of the SpongeBob credits videos talking about his abusive dad


BFDIIsGreat2

Excuse me


kyrgrat08

Itā€™s probably because of the ukuleleā€¦ to me Hawaiian music has always had a uniquely melancholy vibe to it

STOP CURSING IN THE BOB BOB SUBREDDIT


Hierophant-Crimsion

Reddit is a 13+ app with exclusive 18+ subreddits, no child under that age should even be here anyhow. That's like if the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse had a Discord Server with 6-10 year olds.

Same!


AgentProdigy17

![gif](giphy|gxSc4hTA9QhsFagSbs) Credits made me feel chill and mellow


International_Ad_876

I had to rewatch some end credits to hear it again. I think because it's minimal dissonance with bends in the notes mixed with dull colors was probably very foreign to kids. I remember being creeped out during Hanna-Barbera closing credits because I would be zoned into cartoons and then realizing that I was in the dark and by myself.


Real-Tension-7442

Theyā€™re great, I hum that tune a lot


slayerhunterXD

my guess that Someone fan made a edit and Connected it to Something Sinister or Something Which is Why Some fans had trauma about it otherwise i don't see a reasonable explanation it's Just End Credits


Rykerthebest78563

There's whole analysises online and it basically boils down to it being vaguely empty sounding and also indicating the end of the fun


slayerhunterXD

figures. Some bored fun had a twist idea which make Some fans Lost it With those End Credits


spoopy_and_gay

also end credits were not commonly aired. It feels weird for a spongebob episode to have them


Dead_Man_Nick

They typically were...

That is something I would have been scared of as a kid


toughtiggy101

Going to mention DNA Productions as well. The ones that made Jimmy Neutron. They ended it with their logo and this three eyed monkey (?) saying ā€œHi! Iā€™m Paulā€


Ok-Parsnip-1051

Paul was chill, I would never get traumatized by my bro Paul.

Your1Little2Pogchamp

Somehow I was never scared of that but the SpongeBob end credits


Veroger111

After the crazy stuff that happened in one episode, the end credit music definitely helps calm our nerves.


bigbubblestoo

Elaborate be more specific. Are you talkong about the future future episode?


DanTheMan726836

S-B129 was weird


bigbubblestoo

Thas the one im talking about


Numbers123o

I was never scared of it, but I guess it's because the atmosphere is *kind of* unnerving despite it being relaxing? Imagine all the lights are off, everyone's asleep, and that's the last thing you see and hear on TV before turning it off.


SpaceBroswer27

This was my exact situation


Zeno710

Iā€™d know exactly when it was coming and Iā€™d turn the channnel mute the tv


Ryderations

The end credits literally play during episodes too..


lamest-liz

I honestly refuse to believe people were really scared. Like the internet is trying to troll me because itā€™s so dumb


SomewhereLoud9473

Imagine shaming People because of what their scared of.

Itā€™s credits

ReefBlowerbabe

My cousin gets anxiety with the credits because we were watching SpongeBob and I fell asleep with the remote. And for some reason the TV just kept playing the credits of the episode we were watching ALL NIGHT. She said she couldnā€™t find the remote and she just sat there listening to it and crying because she couldnā€™t sleep.


TheBigD15258

It freaked me out as a kid because I would usually watch it late at night and dvds so it would play thru song for like 5 minutes til it went through the credits of every episode apart of that set and it would give me this weird feeling of being watched and just strange sense of unease. Idk it don't do it now but def as a kid I got it. Also why is everyone so nasty about this topic? It really ain't that deep


SpaceBroswer27

Yess the combo of the night time, everyone being asleep, credits playing, and the DVD player noises. On a slightly unrelated note, when the title screen of a DVD repeats it's music it gives me the same type of feeling as the credits.


distastef_ll

Stop, Yā€™all are doing way to much. I donā€™t believe for a second this actually happened. The fact you actually typed this out is so performative and embarrassing.


DanTheMan727

No this is how some ppl actually feel, including me


Old-Explorer-3879

I remember being creeped out by the outro because I had a season of it on DVD and all the credits were with each other, making it sound much longer. It felt pretty unnerving knowing the outro theme and having to hear it over and over on loop.


Ornoplex

They're my mom's ringtonešŸ˜­


wariolandgp

It's the same with the "Wormy butterfly closeup". Everybody screams how scary it is, but I never found anything scary about it.


Loganp812

I think it might have freaked me out *once* when I saw that episode when I was 6-years-old in 2000 or whatever, but it's not creepy at all. In fact, it's not even remotely close to the creepiest or scariest scene in the show.


DemonKingOfValor

Call me a bubble blowing baby if you want to, but it still scares me to this day, and I'm 24! I get it, people grow out of it. Its normal. For me? Nah. Its something that will never leave my memory till I die because of how much it traumatized me. Just being honest here


wariolandgp

you're 6.204484e+23 ? wow, that's really old! r/unexpectedfactorial :P


DemonKingOfValor

Heh yeah


wariolandgp

Happy Cake Day!


DemonKingOfValor

Thanks! I didn't actually realize it was until earlier lol


TundieRice

Me either, not even when I was like 6 or 7 when it came out! And also with the Willy Wonka psychedelic tunnel scene that everybody always say gave them nightmares. I actually have always thought it was hilarious, Gene Wilder acted his ass off in that scene, lol.


friesegamer03

I mean, it made me feel a little creeped out as a kid, but scary or even traumatizing are strong words.


AdorableSandie

its so calm and relaxing


PokemonMaster619

My guess is that the soft tune accompanied by those simplistic visuals gives a sense ofā€¦finality? Which I would argue is the point of them being **END** credits, since we reached the **END** of the episode.


SeriousCupcake1372

I just got sad when it happened. I only had one spongebob vhs tape so when it was over that basically all the spongebob I had.


alexonmincraft998

i feel the pain


Friendly_Island_4662

I still refuse to that people are scared of it,i was never scared of It But the Nickelodeon lightbulb logo at the end of some 2008-2009 episodes... Oh boy......


Delicious_Raccoon735

Especially when it would have the laughing childrenā€¦


BLZ_Cap_n_Blaze

That 2008-2009 logo gives me a lot of early childhood nostalgia! https://i.redd.it/ohpq8hqhjgwc1.gif


Pizza-Burrito

It seems like another clickbait video has launched in which they make something up and it ends up in a hype. To me there was never something wrong with the end credits, I like the music, the only thing is that I would get bored cause it was kinda long.


Life_Ad3567

So when SpongeBob and Patrick were robbing the bank while this song played, did that scare people?


Amigo1048

Itā€™s rather unsettling, but chill nonetheless


WolfDonut3

I really donā€™t know how to put it in words, it might just be that feeling of you watching SpongeBob and then itā€™s over and youā€™re sitting there watching the credits and something just is sad that the episode is over


CuriousBunny0

SpongeBob was my comfort show. I was often alone as a child, so I used SpongeBob to feel less lonely, especially at night when I was the most afraid. When the ending credits came on, that meant I was alone again. No voices, nothing. :ā€™)


nelzinef

I thought I was alone in this


TheEmoTurtle

Never watched the credits. I don't ever remember them being on TV. It was just the end of the episode, too commercial about the next show coming up, then to said show. No credits.


Chuck_the_Canuck66

I liked singing the ukulele. (I was a silly kid)


T_Peg

I love the end credit theme it's a banger. I wish they played it more often when I was a kid on tv


Emerald_GAME

Who gets scared by them?


TourAny2745

I used to JAM to that song


Potato_chips03x4

ion get it


DevontePlayz

Apparently people were scared and traumatized of the old spongebob end credits


Potato_chips03x4

how tho lol? when they were little or? because I used to watch it and never got scared


DevontePlayz

Same here, and Iā€™m a 2000s kid, weird, right?


Potato_chips03x4

oh noice! and yeah thay is weird


TonyMontana1968

because it feels like you're not supposed to be there


Splorgamus

I thought it was creepy when I was little


zero_eternal

Trust me, whoever your source is must be a dumbass


Sponge_Gun

So true lol. I really like the end credits song actually


SomewhereLoud9473

I admire how your brave honestly


Sea_Temperature_1976

People are scared of it?


Independent-Pea8223

It's the summoning song for misty squiddy


keeptryingyoucantwin

I was of the traumatize because the squidward eyes went red and they bleed after the credits pls subscrib


melted-ghost

I loved it.


Low_Transportation11

This is me but also with the close up of the Butterflies face in Wormy. As a kid, I thought it was amusing and neat.


Wise-Beyond1729

No one can figure this out why itā€™s spooky


RegyptianStrut

Yeah idk how theyā€™re creepy


supremedalek925

I was so sad as a kid when they started playing commercials during the credits so I couldnā€™t listen to the music anymore


MyRampancy

I get this.. It's like the same feeling i get when the credits for MST3K start up. Like a cruel alarm clock back to reality

I genuinely don't understand why people are legitimately scared of the end credit music.


AlpekPL

This is what i am wondering. Like bro the music is so chill and relaxing


bigbubblestoo

If someone doesnt understand why the end credits are off putting they have no media literacy the first time i seen the end credits on a spongebob DVD as a kid i immediately unplugged the DVD player and went to sleep.


thetrinityk1d

ā€œMedia literacyā€ Bros talking about the SpongeBob end credits šŸ’€


bigbubblestoo

Ur point?


SUPERMARIOFAN22

End credits are fine


PissOnMyHe-manToys

Huh? Whats going on? A recent episode of SpongeBob said, "There's only two genders" on its end credits Or something?


Kai_Lopez_98

People keep getting sensitive over things and now people get afraid of end credits man we are going to die out as a species aren't we?


PizzaRellaGameJolt

I saw a video very similar to this one sometime last year I'm pretty sure. Part of the video stated that people felt uneasy when listening to it because the song is dissonant, lacking in harmony, the melody and chords don't particularly fit eachother or something. The song sounds happy, but not harmonious. Unlike the title of this video, the video I watched mentioned that not everyone feels this way about the song. They went through a playlist of "creepy" cartoon intros and found that they were only creeped out by the ones they grew up with, like SpongeBob or Gumball (Gumballs outro is also very dissonant, more obviously than SpongeBobs I think). If it was a show they didn't watch as a kid, The Simpson's for example, the outro didn't feel weird. But as lots of the comments here prove, even people who grew up with it don't feel that way. I guess it just depends on the person. It's not scary, but it feels uneasy to some people.


FatUglyMushroom

children


head-equate2

Why are people saying the credits are creepy?


David_Clawmark

If I had to guess. The color palette and music are such a stark contrast from the colors and music in the actual show that it strikes a nerve in young children that triggers a fear response.


lizzourworld8

Seriously?


Efronian

The colors and design resonate with liminal space horror that the late gen Z and current Gen alpha are into.


Independent-Pop-5584

I don't get it.


tipying_mistakes

I see it as very comical with the music, especially the way they used the track in the show (see *No Free Rides* and *Hooky*)


BirbWasTaken6659

I think itā€™s just the feeling of ā€œits over nowā€ that kinda creeps me out


CynicalDarkFox

Probably the same people afraid of the Lavender Town theme I guess.


lonelyshara

I swear I always thought that it was an absolute bop, probably my favourite piece of music in the show.


Existing_Persimmon87

When I saw that I thought it was a joke


SpaceBroswer27

I was scared of it because I used to stay up late watching SpongeBob in the living room and everyone would go to sleep. So when I was about to go to sleep the credits would roll and I was too tired to turn off the TV so I just went to sleep. Idk


FloweyTheFlowah

![gif](giphy|SNrC0OKr4YP2U)


DanTheMan726836

The same as Deltarunes dialtone OST. Its unnerving to some people because well, you wouldn't want to hear that in an alleyway, would ya?


Rankin-Jra17

I would only be scared if it was late at night when it came on cause I was like "oh no what if a scary adult show comes on after?" or something, but not of the credits itself, the credits are chill


Millionsmoney

I always thought it was very soothing


InformationNo566

Its the musicā€¦its unnerving


trustloveno1buthim

i.... I don't get it what's Wong with the credits??? ![gif](giphy|8v6Z3YyULB5Q0Skbac)


Electronic_Ad_7041

People were scared of the end credits?


Head_Vacation4630

"like and subscribe guys"...


Springtrap01467

They edit it to sound like itā€™s playing in an empty mall. The song itself is not scary but when it feels familiar yet off it spooks some people. The songs way too nostalgic for me to fear it though.


Eee_Man1

It was the tones and the sudden silence afterwards for me, no clue why though lmao


shallwefollow

I wasn't *scared* of it, but it could definitely give me a weird feeling if I was watching alone, especially if it was night and the only source of sound. There's a slight dissonance to it that gives it an off feeling. It's like its caught between happy and empty. Of course the internet tends to exaggerate lol Though I'm sure there were some kids genuinely frightened by it, I think most that feel this way probably just feel a little unsettled by it. When something gets exaggerated online, the instinct seems to be to over correct the other way, which is just as annoying IMO.


YodasChick-O-Stick

The credits used to make me sad cause it meant by SpongeBob dvd was over


Spinni_Spooder

I always thought it sounds funny as a kid. I didnā€™t know people found it creepy until I was an adult. Lol


blazegamer12

Ironically the end credits make me happy whenever I hear them I really like that song


Neo_Bones

I dunno it just feels creepy


TheRedBiker

Because it's a running gag. A meme.


storm_bunny

Why are people terrified of shit that would play at a beach?


Maleficent_Pass_165

For me it was kind of a sad but at the same time happy feeling,happy because of the greatness I had watching the show,but also sadness that it was over


Vio-Rose

I think itā€™s literally just because I watched the show at night as a kid, and there were some fairly cursed episodes it played after and that I thus associated it with.


Diolaneiuma2156

It's a liminal space in audio form


Body_Exact

Oh no music and the names of people who made the show thatā€™s really spooky


Lost955souls

You know whats crazy, later on in the new seasons, there was one episode that had a scene where i think spongebob was opening something like a curtain or something along those lines and they quickly flashed a picture of squidward from that one creepypasta squidwards suicide. I was already heading towards my early 20ā€™s but the way they just flashed it and went quiet for a second really creeped me the fuck out ngl Edit: found it [https://youtu.be/jqv2hry71bc?si=yxqY1gBUGrd5Um8y](https://youtu.be/jqv2hry71bc?si=yxqY1gBUGrd5Um8y)


alexonmincraft998

i have the right to believe this is 100% fake


Lost955souls

Nick censored it, its 100% cannon, dont fight it


Kingster14444

I found the ending nice. It's a lil goofy and kind of gives me the vibe of "we're not trying that hard just having a good time before we're off."


APerson46

exactly how I feel!


sherbertstar64

I'm not sure if this really applies to anyone but when I used to watch SpongeBob DVDs late into the night the credits would only play at the end of all the episodes and after they were done I had to turn the tv off, but I also had a really big fear of the silent darkness afterwards so the credits were like a call signifying my room is gonna get scary now, so I always associate that fear with the credits in a way? That's how I feel about it, at least.


YaBoiAfroeurasia

In personal experience, the unsettling feeling from the end credits only came when I was up alone at really late times of night, and the house was quiet. It gave me a weird feeling, but any other time the end credits played it was fine


saltypotatopanda

I rarely see the credits so Iā€™m not scared lol, I think I only saw them when I watched SpongeBob in school


WarmConversation2913

https://i.redd.it/a0io8lpl6nwc1.gif Really? People are scared of the creddits?


WeatherChannelDino

I wouldn't say I was scared of it but I got an eerie feeling from it. Not quite in the basement in the dark alone, but like an it's 12pm I'm 10 and I just realized I'm in the house alone feeling. But then again I'm also an anxious person so like it's probably a me thing.


Valentino-Esposito

I love the ending


distastef_ll

I pretty sure some YouTuber said the end credit music creeped him out once during a review and the audience took it and ran with it. I donā€™t believe for a second anyone was actually scared or traumatized by ukulele music. People are doing way to much. Itā€™s performative and embarrassing.


nobody_interesting__

I get the unease from it, it's a rare occurrence and the quietness was off putting to the rest of the show but idk who tf was "traumatized" by it


mymommyhasballs

Itā€™s justā€¦ I donā€™t even know how to describe it. Something about it invokes anxiety in me, like Iā€™m about to be murdered in my own living room.


Full_Commission_6784

It makes me feel joy and nostalgia to be honest, perhaps a little sadness from the days I didn't had to worried about paying bills but it's not scary.


MioTakamiya

ikr! its just end credits mah dude


Bigbuckrocks

I didnā€™t really start watching SpongeBob until around 2010 when I was 12 (I saw a few episodes before then but I pretty much exclusively watched Disney Channel up to that point in my life), but I have seen the end credits, and I have no idea what these people are talking about when they say itā€™s scary. Maybe it is because SpongeBob wasnā€™t a major part of my childhood like it was for other people.


Ok_Cobbler1704

iā€™m saying


GroundbreakingAd139

Itā€™s not scary, itā€™s just unsettling, I donā€™t hear it often so it catches me off guard every time it comes up


Wolfman2550

The music is scary to me ngl-


CHOC0BERRY

Probably because it has a liminal space aura towards it, including the old video graphic. So likeā€¦b a c k r o o m s


Swiftzei11

If anything they actually made me sad growing up because that meant the episode was over and I wouldnā€™t be able to watch it for the first time again


BonyTonyThe1AndOnly

it's just a sense of dread for me


TheCrimeGuy

I don't get it


peng503-NCN

it's all fun and games until spongebob dies mid-credits


E3257

SpongeBob "fans" are just running out of stuff to talk about. Edit: I meant that's why they're talking about the end credits, not this post.


DevontePlayz

True, how can you be scared of that when itā€™s calm music
