The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water / Funny

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/plankton.png

It's too cute! It's... DISGUSTING!!!

As befitting a movie based on SpongeBob SquarePants, Sponge Out of Water is chock-full of sheer, undiluted hilarity.

Meta: a series of posters have been released spoofing other movies that are being released in 2015. These include Jurassic World, Terminator Genisys and...Fifty Shades of Grey?!?◊
The Left the Background Music On moment at the beginning of the trailer:
(SpongeBob is seen playing part of the trailer's Background Music on what has to be the world's tiniest piano)
Plankton: Will you stop playing that tiny piano!?
SpongeBob: (puts piano away) Sorry!
- Possible Call-Back to the episode "Squilliam Returns" with the World's Smallest Violin.
- In the film itself, SpongeBob is playing the piano for Plankton's tip-toeing sounds.
When Burger Beard begins to start up his ship, he presses a button labeled "Auto Pirate"
During the 'Thank Gosh It's Monday' music clip, Squidward stops the song SpongeBob is singing annoyed, saying that SpongeBob is the only person who actually likes Mondays. SpongeBob claims that there are more people who like Mondays just the same as him. Guess who comes out of his home, singing about Mondays once Squidward asks?
Squidward: Oh no... please stop...
Mr. Krabs hiding the formula in his safe during Plankton's attack:
Mr. Krabs: Don't worry, little formuler. You'll be safe in this...er...safe.
Plankton attacks the Krusty Krab, and Patrick serves as the lookout.
Patrick: (while he looks through a pair of binoculars backwards) I think we have a couple of minutes before he gets here.
SpongeBob: (flips Patrick's pair of binoculars around)
Patrick: (panicking) AHH! HE'S RIGHT ON TOP OF US!
"Hey! It's raining fries!"
- "Now it's raining pickles!"
- "Now it's raining... (THUNK!) ... tanks."
  - "You're welcome!"
When Plankton is attacking the Krusty Krab and SpongeBob and Patrick are fighting on the front lines with food-themed Abnormal Ammo:
SpongeBob: (attempting to call Mr. Krabs) Your orders, sir.
Sandy: (at the drive-thru) I'll have two Krabby Patties, extra ketchup, extra mustard, hold the mayo.
SpongeBob: Wrong channel. (switches to Krabs' channel) Your orders, sir.
Mr. Krabs: (in his office) EXTRA KETCHUP, EXTRA MUSTARD, HOLD THE MAYO!!
- More hilarity from the battle:
  Mr. Krabs: Quick, boy, bar the door!
  SpongeBob: (puts a chair underneath the handle to Mr. Krabs' office door) Got it!
We get this line from Plankton when he and SpongeBob are fighting over the formula.
Plankton: Come on SpongeBob, join me! And we'll be rich and powerful! Until I eventually betray you.
SpongeBob and Plankton exchange moments of shock when the secret formula... just vanishes.
Plankton: (in thoughts) Wait a minute... molecular deconstruction? I proved that to be a scientific impossibility seven times!
SpongeBob: (in thoughts) Wait a minute... I think I forgot to empty Gary's litter box today...
Mr. Krabs telling a knock knock joke to Plankton as a means of torturing him into giving up the Krabby Patty formula. The joke itself, "Jimmy back my formula", may not come across as funny to most, but the kicker is SpongeBob's reaction, which is how the joke was supposed to torture Plankton.
SpongeBob: OH, I get it! *Proceeds to laugh hysterically*
Plankton: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
- Also, the scene shifting momentarily to Krabs, and all sound is muted, due to him wearing earmuffs.
- And what makes Krabs tear off those headphones? The word "Refunds".
- Contrasting with Plankton and Mr. Krabs, Squidward more or less No Sells SpongeBob's obnoxious laughter and then shuts him up with a simple "zip it". Clearly after all those years of living next door to the little yellow guy, Squidward's built up an immunity to his laugh.
Krabs and SpongeBob screaming like little girls once they find that all the Krabby Patties are gone.
This exchange:
Mr. Krabs: (attempting to calm down the customers) I'm not your enemy! Plankton is your enemy!
Squidward: So is he an anemone or Plankton? [Rimshot]
Mrs. Puff: (with a drum and cymbals) Well, someone had to do it.
- And it says "Bad Punz" on the bass drum.
When Karen tries to make Plankton notice the angry mob around them:
Plankton: "Not now, hun, I'm ranting-slash-raving!"
After SpongeBob floats away with Plankton in a bubble:
Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob! (the bubble floats farther) Oh, you were like an underpaid son to me. I would have expected Squidward to stab me in the back. (points to Squidward, who had been sleeping on his feet)
Squidward: (wakes up) Huh, what?
Mr. Krabs: But SpongeBob? Me most trusted employee, working with me sworn enemy? (while pointing at Squidward) You know what this means, Mr. Squidward?
Squidward (hopefully): We get the rest of the day off?
After the Secret Formula has disappeared, the Krabby Patties are all gone, and everybody thinks that SpongeBob was teaming up with Plankton the entire time to steal the formula, we get this Gilligan Cut:
Mr. Krabs: The Krabby Patty is what ties us all together! Without it, there will be a complete breakdown of social order! A war of all against all! Dark times are ahead! DARK TIMES INDEEEED!
Squidward: Seriously? Aren't you overreacting a bit?
(Gilligan Cut to Bikini Bottom as a Mad Max-esque Dystopia, complete with flames, destruction, and leather)
Mr. Krabs: Welcome to the apocalypse, Mr. Squidward. I hope you like leather.
Squidward: I prefer suede.
- Appropriately, suede is a type of leather.
The Fake-Out Fade-Out when Burger Beard writes "The End" into the book, complete with the cast credits rolling before the seagulls interrupt.
Patrick casually walking into the Krusty Krab during the apocalypse:
Patrick: Good morning, Squidward. I'll have the usual.
[A car is flung into the Krusty Krab through the roof, crashing onto a table, while two citizens run in terror]
Patrick: (completely unfazed) ...with cheese.
When Patrick goes dystopian, he has a hammer taped to his forehead, yet he uses his face to bash things in.
Plankton constantly mispronouncing "team" as "te-am".
When SpongeBob and Plankton are floating over Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob tries to teach him how to say "teamwork".
Plankton: Well, what do we do now?
SpongeBob: Now we work together! You know, teamwork!
Plankton: ... What's... uh... "te-AM-work"?
SpongeBob: No Plankton, "teamwork"!
Plankton: ...Te-AM-work.
SpongeBob: Teamwork!
Plankton: Tie-AM-work!
SpongeBob: Teamwork!
Plankton: Tie-AM-uhp.
SpongeBob: Say "team", like, uh, sports.
Plankton: Team.
SpongeBob: Now say "work"
Plankton: Work.
SpongeBob: Put 'em together, what do ya got?
Plankton: Timebomb... work.
SpongeBob: Gettin' better.
Sandy is about to eat her Krabby Patty, but every time she brings it close to her mouth, Patrick pounds on the glass dome, screaming, "Krabby Patty, Krabby Patty!" before she stuffs it into her mouth.
Perch Perkins reporting about the Bikini Bottom Apunkalypse:
Perch Perkins: This is Perch Perkins reporting live from downtown Bikini-
(Perch narrowly avoids a car flying towards him, which crashes into a building behind him)
Perch Perkins: ...Bottom. Complete chaos here today, as our town attempts to deal with a sudden and complete shortage of Krabby Patties. Events here have this reporter wondering: What is the secret ingredient in Krabby Patties anyWAAAAAYYYY!
(Perch runs away from an angry citizen wielding a mace, who then appears in front of the camera)
Angry Citizen: IT'S LOVE! THE SECRET INGREDIENT IS LOVE! (smashes camera)
- Also, during this scene, a small fish can be seen attacking two big muscular fish with a pitchfork in the background.
- The words at the bottom: "... indoors with the lights off until Krabby Patties are once again being served... Status of mob has been upgraded from "irritated" to "angry".
SpongeBob and Plankton find Patrick doing some rather... unconventional vandalism:
SpongeBob: Patrick, what are you doing?
Patrick: (as he's vandalizing his own house with a hammer tied to his head, complete with black eyes, bruises, and broken teeth) Vandalizing stuff.
Plankton: Isn't that your house?
- Patrick forgetting who SpongeBob is, and asks him what the secret password is.
  Patrick: Oh yeah? If you're SpongeBob, then what's the secret password?
  SpongeBob and Plankton: Uh...
  Patrick: Correct! It is you!
SpongeBob severely overestimates Patrick's loyalty.
The paranoid, feral Sandy obsessively writing notes about the page that predicted "The End".
Gary acquiring a snail cult and setting them loose on SpongeBob... only for him to get away because they're moving too slow.
During a Tear Jerker moment when SpongeBob and Plankton have been run out of the post-apocalyptic town when everyone blames them for the Formula's disappearance, Plankton remarks that they should now change Bikini Bottom's name to "Dirty Bottom". SpongeBob's Dude, Not Funny! reaction is what makes it.
SpongeBob: ...That's kind of gross, Plankton.
Plankton's experience inside SpongeBob's brain.
Plankton: Eww, it's so sweet in here. I think my eyeball is getting a toothache.
- The Shining Shout-Out with two popsicles.
- The realistic cat head.
- Plankton gets so sick he starts to throw up a rainbow. Moments later, it grow a face and pair of arms, cheerfully crying out "Daddy!" It was at this point that Plankton jumps out of SpongeBob's head screaming.
During SpongeBob's little "Teamwork" song:
SpongeBob: I'm the flower and you're the aroma!
Plankton: Right now I wish that I was in a coma!
SpongeBob being told to "hold that thought". He holds his thought bubble like a balloon.
SpongeBob and Plankton attempting to make Patrick (who is guarding the Chum Bucket) fall asleep after he attempts to attack the two:
SpongeBob: [holding Patrick] Quick! I'll rock him, Plankton, you tell him a bedtime story!
Plankton: Uh-um... Once upon a time there was a big fat pink idiot who went to sleep! THE END!
Patrick: Nice try! But it's gonna take a lot more than that to— [falls asleep]
SpongeBob using the pitch pipe to start singing a song. Plankton is so annoyed by it that when SpongeBob tries to use it again to sing again, Plankton grabs it, then lies to SpongeBob that he needs it for the time machine, we hear him smash it with a hammer and flush it down a toilet. Afterwards, he comes out and says it is "installed".
The construction of the time machine, with all of its improbable components (corn chips, kranskys, a photo booth and Karen).
Anytime the time machine transitions. It is like being on an acid trip especially in 3D! Set to this trippy song that is completely normal.
During the otherwise Nightmare Fuel moment where SpongeBob and Plankton enter the Bad Future where Bikini Bottom has become a barren wasteland due to a famine of Krabby Patties, Patrick, who has grown a long beard, explains to SpongeBob why he's the only one left standing:
Patrick: They all gave up on you! But not me! 'Cause I'm not very smart.
SpongeBob and Plankton end up arriving in space, where they meet Bubbles, The Watcher dolphin, animated in stopmotion who seriously needs to use the bathroom after spending eons watching over the Solar System and allows them to take his place. Naturally, they mess it up sending Saturn and Jupiter to collide against each other.
- Bubbles has a trail of toilet paper clinging to his cloak as he returns.
- Matt Berry at his hammiest when delivering: "What happened to Saturn and Jupitairrr!?"
- Bubbles scolds the two for the disaster, but his breakdown is interrupted by nervous dolphin sounds:
  Bubbles: YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KE— (squeaks) Ke- (makes more squeaks before letting out a feeble groan, trying to contain himself) Mmmmrrrrhhhh...! (SpongeBob and Plankton look at each other awkwardly, before Bubbles squeaks some more) Keep them from smashing into each other!!
  SpongeBob: We're sorry!
  Bubbles: Now (squeaks again) I am going to lose my job! And YOU... will lose your lives! (starts shooting lasers from his blowhole)
Past SpongeBob asking Future Plankton about what the future is like.
Past SpongeBob: Do you have flying boatmobiles in the future?
Future Plankton: We only came back from the day after tomorrow, dimwit.
Past SpongeBob: Are there rocket packs? Did they outlaw clothes in the future?
Future Plankton: No!
Past SpongeBob: Then why are you naked?
Future Plankton: Because they don't make clothes in my size.
Past SpongeBob: If you're from the future, what am I going to say next?
Future Plankton: Something moronic?
Past SpongeBob: Wow.
How Burger Beard scares away the seagulls? HOT WINGS.
- Afterwards, Kyle comes out of a miniature port-a-potty (having been in there the whole time), and Burger Beard blasts his feathers off, revealing his SpongeBob underpants. Because he cannot fly without his feathers, he hails a tiny taxi cab driven by a pigeon.
  Pigeon: Where to, mac?
  Kyle: Just dwive!
"Oh my Neptune, he's mixing garbage and recycling!"
The return of "My leg!"
"Wait, you mean we can just take this stuff off?"
When they realize that after a long, harrowing journey, the smell of Krabby Patties is coming from the surface:
(Everybody groans in disappointment)
Squidward: (to SpongeBob) How do you expect us to go to the surface?! We won't be able to breathe!
Random Fish: All right, all secondary characters come with me.
(everybody minus the main characters goes back to Bikini Bottom)
- Even funnier when Squidward tries to leave with them, only to be pulled back.
Patrick realizing he doesn't have feet.
"Note to self: Never stow away in a gym sock."
The team has their first contact with an actual human being:
SpongeBob: A giant, hairy, porpoise... beached!
Mr. Krabs: We need to get these guys back into water!
Mr. Krabs: (as they're trying to get the "porpoise" in water) Put your back into it!
(the "porpoise" falls back on his back, squishing our heroes)
Squidward: Eeugh! This place smells awful!
- The actual line in the film is: "... Well, I guess this is where that horrible smell was coming from."
- When they see his foot:
  Patrick: (referring to the foot) Let's ask this guy. He looks smart. He's got five heads.
- Sandy, being from the surface, can clearly see that this guy is not a porpoise. When she tries to explain this, the rest of the gang don't listen and start attempting to roll him back into the water. Her reaction to this is a Face Palm and an "Oh, brother..."
As our heroes enter the human world, they run into a shovel in the sand:
SFX: *CLANG!*
SpongeBob and co.: OW!
- Shortly after their shovel encounter, the group pops out of the sand and onto a sandcastle... which is then kicked by a kid, sending them flying.
SpongeBob and Patrick "running around the whole world" after eating cotton candy. It's actually Sandy changing the background.
Squidward: (hands on ears) When is this sugar gonna wear off?!
(SpongeBob and Patrick then immediately stop laughing, then collapse. Squidward smiles in relief.)
SpongeBob and friends dodging roller skating and biking humans.
- Sandy carrying Squidward in her arms to safety.
Squidward inks.
Squidward: It happens when I'm nervous.
SpongeBob and co. become superheroes and make their entry, which includes Patrick crashing into a picnic table.
- In the movie, this is topped off by him quickly getting up, getting into the Ass Kicking Pose with the rest of the gang... only he's facing the wrong way.
  SpongeBob: Patrick!
  [Patrick turns around, gang resumes pose]
Patrick falls in love:
Patrick: (seeing a hot girl) Ohhh...
Patrick: (upon seeing the ice cream the girl is holding) Where have you been all my life?
(cut to Patrick kissing and eating the girl's ice cream and getting it all over him)
SpongeBob: This is uncomfortable...
- More fun with Patrick and ice cream, after the team gets their superpowers:
  SpongeBob: Mr. Super-Awesomeness! Take him down!
  Patrick: (uses his mind to psychically manipulate two ice cream cones, culminating in him making an Ass-Kicking Pose while holding them in his hands while a storm starts brewing behind him... only for it to dissipate while he starts happily eating the ice cream he now has)
  SpongeBob: Uh, maybe we should have picked a better superpower for you, Patrick.
- Later on, Patrick tries using all the ice cream as an attack wave towards Burger Beard, and SpongeBob declares that he should have never doubted his powers. Only for all the ice cream to miss Burger Beard and hit Patrick all at once.
The gang's horrified reaction to Sandy's photo-realistic superhero form.
While the gang are chasing Burger Beard's ship, SpongeBob tells Sandy to use her squirrel powers to climb across the chain, she does... very carefully and slow.
SpongeBob discovers his superpower:
(Burger Beard fires one of the cannons in his seriously massive array of forward-facing cannons, only for its shot to be neutralized by going through the bubble wand on SpongeBob's head and getting encased in a bubble)
SpongeBob: (smiling) Huuuuh?
(cut to SpongeBob happily disabling several cannonballs by encasing them in bubbles)
Patrick: (looking at the bubble-encased cannonballs) They're beautiful!
(Patrick then pops one of the cannonball-encasing bubbles, causing it to come crashing down on his head)
- The Genius Bonus is that the music playing is Lawrence Welk's rendition of "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles".
- Burger Beard gives one funny "What the hell?" face before he fires cannon after cannon.
When SpongeBob is hit by one of Burger Beard's cannonballs:
Patrick: SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Patrick.
Patrick: Talk to me, buddy.
SpongeBob: I see a bright light.
Patrick: (covering the sunlight with his head) Is this better?
SpongeBob: Much. Thank you.
The moment when Squidward / Sour Note is marveling at his superhero form — then Burger Beard throws a plastic six-pack ring at him. Getting caught on his nose, then his arm, then the rest of his body... A passerby gets a photo on her phone of the struggle. Unfortunately, this bit isn't in the actual film.
At the end of the, film the characters magically materialize back in Bikini Bottom. For some reason, Squidward materializes without his nose, only for it to appear suddenly with a loud honk.
What happens to Burger Beard at the end? He becomes Painty the Pirate.
Bubbles challenging the seagulls to a rap battle.
The Squidasaurus Rex struggling to eat a Krabby Patty at the end of the film.
- The way they introduce it. Patrick comes back in the time machine, calmly but seriously claiming to bring a message from the past;
  Patrick:...Run!
- "And I thought my friends were primitive."
There's a Call-Back to SpongeBob and Plankton being chased by the snails at the end of the film, where Plankton in a robot Gary suit, is being chased outside by Gary, who roars like a lion.
- It continues as the after credits scene.
Squidward embellishing the credits with an interpretive dance is just plain adorable.
- And it's the dance he did in "Culture Shock" from season 1, to boot!

...That was pretty good, actually.
