The Curse of the Sea Rats tells the story of a group of pirate rat heroes who must save their world from an evil pirate captain. The film combines traditional hand-drawn animation with modern computer-generated imagery to create a unique visual style. The premiere date for The Curse of the Sea Rats has not yet been announced, but fans of the video game and animation enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting its release..

Would you use the Magic Conch or the Conch Signal?

Now you can only use one of these once. Choose wisely. The Conch Signal summons the amazing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy at will! (Imagine meeting them!) Or you can use the Magic Conch that answer any question in the world for you whether it be about the past/present/future.

Which one will you pick?

I'd personally choose the Conch Signal. Why? Even though I'd like one answer to anything in the world, I'd love to meet Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Maybe I could have slightly overcooked popcorn and be able to breathe underwater with SpongeBob and friends! :pattongue:

I can't pick a vote on this, as I would simply smash The Magic Conch, especially If It said "No" If I asked It If I could eat. Probably what Squidward would've done.
As for the Conch Signal, I'll think about that.

Baseball. Hockey. SBM vet. I drop in unexpectedly.

The Conch Signal summons help.

The Magic Conch summons help AND predicts the future.

I mean, yes, I'm sure I could use the Conch Signal to summon Mermaidman and Barnacleboy if I were stranded in a forest or something of that nature, but then I wouldn't have any spaghetti, turkey, and super yummy delicious sandwiches to munch on while I was waiting for them show up. And could they tell me the score of the Red Sox game while I was isolated in a sea of skyscraper-tall algae with no NESN access? I doubt it.

So for this question there's only one answer.

ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH!

ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH! Yeah, I'd pick the Magic Conch. I would love to see MM and BB though, but I can just ask the Magic Conch if I'll ever meet em'. I'm taking a risk!

The Conch Signal, because The Magic Conch is pure evil. It hates Squidward, and it hates SpongeBob, Patrick, and that ranger guy too because she clearly wants to starve them to death!

"No" and "Nothing" are her most evilest quotes.

She still is really funny though, I guess, but still, I always found this "character" or piece of plastic or whatever to be very mean-spirited. But I STILL think Club SpongeBob is Good.

The Conch Signal is not that good either, but hey, at least it's not evil! And who wouldn't want to summon the GREATEST SUPERHEROES EVER, Mermaidman and Barnacleboy! Haha, lol.

Is it Rainbow Crash or Rainbow Dash?

I would choose All Hail the Magic Conch!
I would use it to answer any question in the world like how much I would get for my Maths Examination.

So, ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH!

The Magic Conch so I could ask it to lead me to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy :P

Also, I could ask it some challenging questions, as long as it doesn't forbid me from eating a delicious picnic :P

I love SBM

Well I don't think Squidward needs any help from Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy anytime soon. Unless it's help with chores or cleaning his clarinet. But at the same time the Magic Conch Shell basically hates him as we saw throughout the episode.. I guess I'll say the conch signal then. Squidward will keep abusing it until they take it away like they did for SpongeBob. :P

Haha, that's exactly the kind of response I was hoping for! XD The Magic Conch Shell does more harm than good to Squidward and hates the living cr** out of him for some reason, and the Conch Signal could actually aid him because Mermaidman and Barnacleboy don't really hate Squidward, well, as much. And they can't say no to him (unless he overuses it). But the Magic Conch Shell can! Saying no is her speciality!

The Unapologetic Geek

Nickelodeon's smash hit cartoon, SpongeBob SquarePants, made the news rounds yesterday because of a study that suggested it might reduce the attention spans of 4-year-olds. Though I could easily spend some time discussing the worthlessness of the study (it's small, preliminary, sloppy, uncontrolled, etc.), I would rather talk about the serious subject matter that occasionally creeps into the show. These deep messages could easily plant themselves into the subconscious minds of developing young brains, for better or for worse, and I think that's far more relevant than what the cartoon does to the short-term attention span of a 4-year-old. As the father of a toddler, I am exposed to a lot of SpongeBob's exploits these days, but I will admit that I have been watching the show for much longer than my son has been alive. Sometimes, an episode will have a pretty intense, heavy subtext, and it isn't always hidden. For example:

The episode: SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward wind up in the middle of the wilderness with no food or supplies, save a toy called the magic conch (basically the same thing as a Magic 8-Ball). SpongeBob and Patrick insist on seeking guidance from the toy, which tells them to do nothing, while Squidward tries to use his reason to survive. Squidward is exasperated, however, when food literally falls from the sky, rewarding SpongeBob and Patrick for their inaction. Squidward wants to eat, but when he asks the conch if he can, it continually says, "No." As he reaches the height of anger and desperation, a ranger appears, and Squidward is certain they have finally been saved. However, the ranger has a magic conch shell of his own, and like SpongeBob and Patrick, he does exactly what it tells him to do. When the toy then instructs them all to "do nothing," Squidward finally relents, exhaustedly sitting down and proclaiming, "All hail the magic conch."

The subtext: In Genesis 22, Abraham is instructed by God to take his only son, Isaac, to the top of a mountain and kill him as a sacrifice to the Lord. Abraham is saddened by this demand, but he does as God instructs. At the last possible moment, with the knife about to fall into Isaac's chest, God stops Abraham's hand. The story is one of many Biblical tales about the importance of faith, the importance of believing even when it seems insane to do so. As they say, God works in mysterious ways, so if he tells you to sit around and do nothing, even when your survival is at stake, you'd better do what He says.

The lesson: If you're a religious parent, this is a great episode for starting a conversation with your kids about the nature of faith, especially since it lacks the utter brutality of Biblical parables like the one featuring Abraham and Isaac. If you're a heathen, you can use this episode to teach your children how random coincidence can make believers out of anyone. Either way, it can be a powerful teaching tool.

The episode: SpongeBob engages in some Spring cleaning, but as he tries to throw away his trash, Patrick asks how SpongeBob can discard things with such sentimental value. SpongeBob gives it some thought and realizes that Patrick is right. He stops the garbage truck from disposing of his stuff, and then, at work, he starts collecting things like mayo, patty grease, and even sweat, all because they supposedly maintain sentimental value. His house quickly fills with junk, which spills out onto his lawn. Squidward, upset over the mess, calls the police. The police condemn SpongeBob's house, informing him that he can either throw away all his junk or he can evacuate his pineapple. Deeply upset about this ultimatum, SpongeBob eventually agrees to throw it all away, taking a picture of each item so that the sentimental value is not lost. In the end, Squidward is happy that SpongeBob's house and lawn are clean, but then discovers that his house is filled to the brim with SpongeBob's photographs.

The subtext: I don't think you can even call this a subtext, because "Sentimental Sponge" is basically just an animated episode of A&E's Hoarders.

The lesson: SpongeBob will help motivate your kid to clean his or her room.

The episode: Mr. Krabs dumps his used fry grease behind the Chum Bucket, where his rival, Plankton, discovers it. Plankton, noting how delicious the grease is, starts soaking his "Chum Patties" in it, which causes a boon for his business. When Mr. Krabs realizes what is happening, he starts selling "Deluxe Krabby Patties," which are made from Krabby Patties soaked in grease. In response, Plankton starts selling "Chummy Patties with Quadruple Grilled Goodness," followed by Mr. Krabs soaking hamburger buns in grease to make "Yummy Bunz." Plankton then starts selling burnt grease crumbs, which he calls "Crispity Crunchities," and Mr. Krabs eventually just starts serving grease on a paper plate, which he calls "Wow! Soup." Disturbed by these developments, SpongeBob calls in the health inspector, who arrives in a Hazmat suit and shuts down both restaurants until the grease is cleaned up.

The subtext: There are so many possible subtexts in this episode, I hardly know where to start. The wise folks over at SpongeBob SquarePants Wiki think it might be a parable about the deviousness of the fast food industry, but I think it goes much deeper than that. You could argue that this is a recreation of the Cold War arms race between the USA and the USSR, making it a cautionary tale about the dangers of nuclear proliferation, or you could argue that it is a microchosm of the arms race that is evolution, making it an episode that deals with the very nature of life itself. This is a special episode indeed, and it can go as deep as you want it to, until you find Leonardo DiCaprio duking it out with the projection of his dead wife. Yes, this is the episode you should point to when somebody tries to argue that there is nothing particularly profound about SpongeBob SquarePants.

The lesson: If we don't do something soon, the world will end with everyone obese and covered in grease. Michelle Obama would approve this message.

Recap / SpongeBob SquarePants S 3 E 2 "Club SpongeBob" / "My Pretty Seahorse"

SpongeBob and Patrick get Squidward into their little club. which takes them all the way out into the middle of the Kelp Forest.

.

"Club SpongeBob" contains examples of:

• Added Alliterative Appeal:

• No matter how stupid you may regard others or their beliefs, it is unwise to berate them as you never know when you yourself might need their assistance.
• Don't always assume warnings are threats or insults. There genuinely wasn't enough room for Squidward in the club at first.
• Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Squidward made clear he thought the whole idea of the club was stupid and only forced his way in because he took offence that they made a point of excluding him, which it was led to them getting lost in the forest in the first place.
• When you get lost in the woods, stay put and help will eventually find you.

Squidward: Well, I'll have you know that I am a member of over 20 different exclusive clubs all across the sea bottom!
Patrick: What did he say?
SpongeBob: I don't know. Something about his nose?
Patrick: Squidward, you and your nose will definitely not fit in!

• Squidward's attempt to get out of the kelp forest gets him lost, but he sees an opening and celebrates freedom after jumping through it. He then sees SpongeBob and Patrick right next to him and realizes he just came back to where he started.
• From Squidward's POV, the park ranger who finds him turning out to have a Magic Conch Shell, and thus be another member of SpongeBob and Patrick's club instead of someone sane. And said ranger's Shell gives the same "Nothing" advice.

Patrick: Here, let me try. Magic Conch, could Squidward have some of this yummy, delicious, super-terrific sandwich?
Magic Conch: No.
Patrick: Hmm. Could I have this yummy, delicious, super-terrific sandwich?
Magic Conch: Yes.
Patrick: All right! (vacuums in the sandwich and burps) Sorry, Squidward.

Squidward: Doesn't that smell good, SpongeBob? You haven't eaten in days. How about you, Patrick? A big boy's gotta eat! Well, you can't have any. And do you know why, SpongeBob? Because your club president is a shell! (shakes his butt in SpongeBob's face) If you'd have listened to me, you'd have food, shelter, and a roaring fire. But instead you listened to a talking clam. that tells you nothing! As if the answers to solve all your problems will fall right out of the sky! (laughs) Fall right out of the sky!
(camera switches to an airplane falling out of the sky)

Squidward: Could I have something to eat?!
Magic Conch: No.
Squidward: Could I have something to eat?!
Magic Conch: No.
Squidward: Could I have something to eat?!
Magic Conch: No.
Squidward: Can't you say anything else but "no"?!
Magic Conch: Try asking again.
Squidward: (hopefully) Can I have something to eat?
Magic Conch: (snarkily) No!

Reviews for "It's Here: Curse of the Sea Rats Premiere Date Unveiled"

1. Justin - 1/5 stars - I was highly disappointed with the premiere date of "Curse of the Sea Rats." After waiting for what seemed like an eternity for this highly anticipated game, I expected to be blown away. Unfortunately, the delay of the premiere date only added to my frustration. The lack of communication and transparency from the developers regarding the reasons for the delay is unacceptable. I have lost all interest in the game and will not be supporting it any further.

2. Melissa - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Curse of the Sea Rats," but the delayed premiere date has left me feeling underwhelmed. The constant teasers and trailers leading up to the original release date built up my excitement, only to have it crushed when the release was postponed. The developers need to work on their time management and communication skills. This has been a major letdown for fans who were eagerly anticipating the game.

3. Alex - 1/5 stars - The delayed premiere date of "Curse of the Sea Rats" is highly disappointing. As a backer of this project on Kickstarter, I invested my time and money into supporting the game. The constant delays and lack of updates from the developers have left me feeling frustrated and betrayed. It's clear that the developers rushed the project without considering the consequences, ultimately failing to deliver on their promises. I have lost all faith in this game and will not be recommending it to others.

4. Michelle - 2/5 stars - I was excited to play "Curse of the Sea Rats," but the delayed premiere date has left me feeling disheartened. The lack of communication regarding the reasons for the delay has been frustrating. While I understand that game development can have its challenges, the developers should have been more transparent with their audience. This lack of transparency has made me lose some interest in the game. I hope they can improve their communication in the future.

5. Mike - 1/5 stars - The delayed premiere date of "Curse of the Sea Rats" is a huge disappointment. After following the game's development for months, I was eagerly awaiting its release. However, the constant delays have made me lose interest and faith in the project. The developers seemed unprepared and did not manage expectations properly. This has been a major letdown, and I doubt I will be giving this game another chance.
