Nightmare Fuel / SpongeBob Conspiracy

Go To

General

  • The Muse is a mysterious, sinister being who remains virtually unseen aside from the occasional shot of its tentacles. For reasons unknown, the Muse made a deal with Alex in return for him providing it meat. However, as the videos progress, the Muse's demands continue to increase, climaxing in it devouring a live cat. Worse, Victoria reveals that she has one in her home, thus meaning there are more of these eldritch creatures.

SPONGEBOB CONSPIRACY #3: The Mrs. Puff Theory

SPONGEBOB CONSPIRACY #6: The Goofy Goober Alien Death Cult Theory

  • In this one, Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat is theorized to be a cult that indoctrinates its members with the belief that they would one day be abducted by aliens. The cult members are further indoctrinated via brainwashing due to the mind-altering effects of the ice cream. With this, Squidina, a character introduced in the spin-off series as Patrick's adopted sibling, is theorized to have been forcefully brainwashed to the point she forgot her previous life.

SPONGEBOB CONSPIRACY #7: The Robot Invasion Theory

  • While his video on the plausibility of a robot invasion is already unnerving, Alex theorizes that Patrick himself was replaced by a robot during the events of the "Patrick SmartPants" episode, and was one for the entirety of the show's run. The theory posits that Plankton, who was already planning on taking over Bikini Bottom with robots, took this as a good opportunity and placed the brain coral there on purpose.

This SpongeBob Conspiracy was created by an AI (April Fools 2022)

  • While this video is non-canon, it is quite possibly the most disturbing video in the series. The video starts out normally about how Squidward is related to King Neptune. Then, it starts going off-topic by talking about Sandy being a robot, and Mr. Krabs being Pearl's actual father. We then get treated to a deepfake of Alex, which looks very... unnerving. Things being to quickly start to become strange when it starts talking about Larry being in the CIA. The images used become AI-generated, which look very surreal. Soon, the theory spirals out of control, the images become more surreal, the voice AI of Alex becomes more robotic and switches to a different voice for a moment, the theory itself becomes bizarre and makes no sense, scenes start repeating (one example is during the showcase of time travel in the show, where the AI list two examples and repeats them again), and the deepfake of Alex becomes more distorted like the other images. One memorable moment is during the "SpongeBob's grandma is a time traveler" theory, when showing evidence to the theory, the AI says that SpongeBob's grandma said "ive seen things you've only seen in your nightmares." We are then treated to a horrifying AI generated image of a grandma that zooms in as more creepy images of grandmas show up.

The Time-Traveling Ghost Pirate Theory

Conspiracy Theory #9

  • We finally see the Muse's face when Alex is mistakenly led to think it's Weakened by the Light. It ain't pretty.
    Muse: You are mistaken… the darkness is not for my protection… it is for YOURS!
