Boyardee at the ready, everyone!
Who parodies SpongeBob SquarePants from under YouTube? Uncle Al, that's who!

You see, Uncle Al is an American YouTuber that uploads gaming and entertainment videos, but he especially makes good use of Disney-like Superlative Dubbing to make side-splittingly hilarious videos of SpongeBob SquarePants, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, and many more.

His channel can be found here.

    Tropes relating to Uncle Al's videos 
  • Adaptational Heroism: From How The Grinch Saved 2020!, the Grinch's goal to steal from the Whos is to prevent them from potentially getting COVID, rather than out of hatred for Christmas. Subverted near the end as he realizes his efforts were in vain, so he decides to help spread the virus. The video's revamped version of "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" even lampshades this.
  • Adaptational Villainy: His version of Michelangelo is the imposter.
  • Ascended to Carnivorism: In "Donkey Kannibal", DK gets rid of his banana hoard after he decides to remove bananas from his diet and shifts focus to eating meat, much to the concern of Diddy.
  • Ask a Stupid Question...: In "The Crossover of Tomorrow", when Zapp Brannigan brings his Beefinity Stone to work at Big Lots:
    Old Man Jenkins: Excuse me, sir, do you work here?
    Zapp Brannigan: No, I just dress up in Big Lots uniforms and announce my employment here for funsies.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: Static Legs' superpowers only work when his legs are comatose, so he has to wait for them to fall asleep, which means his superpowers aren't useful when time is of the essence.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: In "Sonic in Pants", when Eggman has a nightmare about Sonic wearing pants, Eggman says he can't see Sonic's pants because the screen cuts off at his waist.
  • Cutaway Gag: In "The Crossover of Tomorrow", when Professor Farnsworth sees that Kerment and Foggie won't deliver their Beefinity Stone to their universe, he realizes he should've hired Donkey Kong to do it instead. Cut to the "Donkey Kong Country Abridged" universe...
    DK: Diddy, you ever get the feeling that we're only allowed to exist because our true creators haven't noticed our existence in this Internet video void and could easily, legally, take us down at any given moment?
    Diddy: I have no idea what you're smoking, but I want some!
  • Decoy Protagonist: Darth Vader in "The Crossover of Tomorrow", as the video starts with him looking out upon space and sensing a disturbance...before being killed off by one of Dr. Farnsworth's Planet Express ships.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: The Grinch in How The Grinch Saved 2020 While stealing Christmas presents may have been an extreme reaction, ultimately deciding to spread the COVID virus in the end, and generally acting like an anal douche throughout the video. He is right that The Whos of Whoville act dangerously ignorant and stupidly reluctant over following even the most basic COVID-19 health guidelines, including washing hands.(Also implying they have poor hygiene.) He is ultimately proven correct, by the fact the entire village dies at the end.
  • Man of a Thousand Voices: The sheer number of characters Al can imitate is utterly insane. Hugh Neutron, Patrick Star, Lazlo, Courage, a Mexican Samurai Jack, and so on. It's a meme among his viewer base to say that such a wide array of accurate voices is being used for what are basically shitposts.
  • Medium Awareness: Most of his characters in his shitposting would fitfully reference current events/problems in a self-aware manner while in their own weird worlds such as Ren's rational issue with DoorDash's expensive pricing from the "Ren and Stimpy Order Doordash" video and The Grinch himself from the "How the Grinch Saved 2020!" constantly mention how he plans on preventing COVID-19 by getting rid of their presents so they could have second-thoughts.
  • Rage Breaking Point: In "Grand Theft Courage: Macaroni Massacre", Courage becomes so fed-up with Toddler!Muriel's unreasonable demands that he starts flying and shooting cars out of a minigun.
  • Self-Deprecation: Discount Bender definitely counts from the very name, as Al is dissatisfied with his attempts to replicate John Dimaggio's voice. Same goes for SpongeBob, who apparently has bronchitis, explaining his voice, which is even harder for Al to replicate, given his voice is much lower than Tom Kenny's.
  • Synchro-Vox: Used in several videos, such as "Green Guy and Sam", "How the Grinch Saved 2020!", "The Patrick Star Show (PARODY)", "Sonic in Pants", "SpongeQuest", and "Everybody Loves Ice Age".
  • Take That!:
  • Take That, Audience!: In "The Crossover of Tomorrow", Professor Farnsworth goes off on a brief tangent about the audience complaining about paid sponsorships in the comments instead of simply skipping ahead to the actual video.
  • Who Writes This Crap?!: Played with when Sonic was commenting on his dialogue in the "Sonic in Pants" video:
    Sonic: Now to use the real power of Sonic Forces 2!! Man! Who writes this garbage?

    Tropes relating to The Krusty Kooch Chronicles 
  • The Alcoholic: Plankton.
  • Art Shift: In "Squidward in the Coochieverse of Chaos", all scenes set in 2019, as well as 2019!Squidward, are rendered in the slideshow style, though 2022!Squidward remains CGI. At the end, he reverts to his slideshow style.
  • Berserk Button: Prior to "To Beef or not to Beef", any mention of Chef Boyardee's Beefaroni or the man himself would send Mr. Krabs into a rage.
  • Did Not Think This Through: In "SpongeQuest", Mr. Krabs, Squidward, and Patrick all drive off in the Beefaroni-Mobile to look for SpongeBob, even though they don't even know where to start looking.
    Mr. Krabs: We don't have any leads. Matter of fact, eh, guess it's kinda senseless driving around aimlessly.
    Squidward: Yeah, didn't really think this one through, did we?
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Santa responds to SpongeBob and Patrick's hate mail in "A Very Squidward Christmas" by nuking all of Bikini Bottom.
  • Dressed to Plunder: Subverted with Ashy the Asshole. He was hoping to buy a pirate costume from Spirit Halloween, only to have ended up paying $70 for a duster (that didn't even have the hat on the package's cover included). So, he decided to dress up as a bum, which he thinks works.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Even though new Krusty Kooch employees have to scrape smegma off the bottoms of the restaurant tables (their foreskins would be fried if they didn't comply), they don't have to eat it.
  • Fan Disservice: Krabs being naked in "Krusty Kooch Training Video" and "SpongeQuest". The latter case causes the customers to leave.
  • Fantastic Racism: Patrick hates Sandy for being a squirrel, up to the point where he threw her into a woodchipper while he was high on bath salts.
  • G-Rated Drug: Squidward has a... rather unhealthy obsession with Beefaroni.
  • Gold Digger: One of Plankton's plans to get the Krabby Patty formula was to marry Mr. Krabs.
  • Groin Attack: Chef Boyardee once farted on Mr. Krabs's balls as they were about to eat Beefaroni back in Vietnam. Hence, Krabs's hatred of Beefaroni.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: After Plankton succeeds in getting Mr. Krabs cancelled on Twitter, he gets cancelled himself because everyone found out that he nuts on his dead wife.
    Plankton: Hey! C'mon! It's only fun when it happens to other people! Please stop! I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU!
  • Human Doorstop: A more willing example: Patrick selling his body for money. As a chair. He's had enough when Santa started using him as a chair.
  • Ignored Aesop: In "A Krabmas Karol", Mr. Krabs gets the idea to sell NFTs to avoid dying broke instead of vow to be less greedy.
  • I Love the Dead: "The Cancelled Krab" reveals that not only is Karen dead, but Plankton uses her body as a cum rag. Unsurprisingly, this leads to him getting cancelled himself.
  • LOL, 69: While Plankton is looking through Mr. Krabs's Twitter account to look for an incriminating tweet, the number 69 is constantly used and referenced.
  • Mood Whiplash: Plankton in "The Cancelled Krab":
    Plankton: That's brilliant, my cylinder computer girlfriend Alexa! (somberly, in echo) MY WIFE IS DEAD. SHE'S MY NUT RAG.
    Alexa: Dear God.
  • N-Word Privileges: "Squid Pride" reveals that Squidward has an N-word pass. However, if he's unable to prove that he's gay enough to enter the Salty Splooge, he'd lose his pass.
  • Never the Selves Shall Meet: Double subverted. It's not because 2022!Squidward met 2019!Squidward in "Squidward in the Coochieverse of Chaos" that the timeline ripped. It's because the two Squidwards went on a murder spree in the past that allowed invaders from another timeline to wreak havoc.
  • Nightmare Face: Or rather two from "To Beef Or Not To Beef". Played for Laughs:
    Squidward: I cannot (makes hideous face) stand your intolerance to it (make an even more hideous face) ANY LONGER!
  • Original Position Fallacy: In "The Cancelled Krab", Plankton's plan to get back at Mr. Krabs by digging up one of his old off-color tweets, hoping it'll rile up the people of Bikini Bottom into an outraged frenzy, quickly backfires because they soon get tired of harassing Mr. Krabs (and eventually Squidward) and decide to go after Plankton when they find out he nuts on his dead wife.
    Plankton: Hey! Come on! It's only fun when it happens to other people!
  • Out of Focus: Ironically, SpongeBob himself, who rarely appears in these shorts. Presumably this is because of Al lacking confidence in his SpongeBob impression.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech:
    • Squidward gives one to the Bikini Bottomites who were cancelling Mr. Krabs in "The Cancelled Krab".
      Squidward: People, people, please! Don't you see that by harassing this man and threatening him, that you're no better than he is? It was an old tweet. It was a bad take. None of you are even squids. Why are you offended? I'm not! We all make mistakes and say stupid things. If we start crucifying each other and ruining each others' lives over every dumb thing we've said, everyone will be cancelled! People can be forgiven. Nobody's perfect. You just need to be willing to grow, learn, and change for the better. Unless you're a pedophile, then you can just die.
    • And Squidward gives Mr. Krabs one in "Canned Coochie 3".
      Mr. Krabs: Mr. Squidward!
      Squidward: What?
      Mr. Krabs: I told you to hand out those flyers! Where's all me paying customers?!
      Squidward: You know what, Mr. Krabs? I did! No one wants your Krusty! Coochie! In a can!
      Mr. Krabs: WHAT?! Of course people want me coochie! I sold millions the first time around!
      Squidward: And look what's happened since then. You resold used cans from the dumpster outback to your "loyal customers", and got cancelled by Twitter. The highest authority known to man! You're done selling PUSSY (deep breath) in a can! Move on to something else.
  • Robosexual: After Plankton's computer wife Karen died, he started dating a cylinder computer girl named Alexa.
  • Series Fauxnale: "Canned Coochie 3" served as the series finale to the series for a point until it got a short-lived Season 3 eight months later.
  • Shout-Out: Why doesn't Mr. Krabs allow Chef Boyardee's products in his restaurant? Back in 'nam, the chef farted on his balls, thus breaking the Gentleman's Code.
  • Take That!:
    • "The Cancelled Krab" is a huge one towards cancel culture, as the Bikini Bottomites cancel Mr. Krabs for an old, racist tweet towards squids he made 10 years ago (and with said tweet being less of a racist insult and more of a childish taunt) with even the morals being rejected in favor of blatant hypocrisy.
      Squidward: None of you are even squids. Why are you offended? I'm not!
    • "A Krabmas Karol" ends with Mr. Krabs deciding to sell NFTs instead of vowing to become less greedy.
  • Teeny Weenie: Plankton has one, and gets annoyed with people constantly bringing it up.
    Plankton: This isn't a new revelation, you idiot! Why don't you make yourself useful and tell me something I DON'T know?!
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Squidward loves Chef Boyardee for Beefaroni. Which comes into conflict with Mr. Krabs who hates Beefaroni due to Boyardee breaking the Gentleman's Code back in Nam and refuses it in his restaurant. Squidward managed to get them to settle their differences so he can eat Beefaroni at work.
  • Wham Episode: "Canned Coochie 3" ends with Mr. Krabs being broke from infesting all his money into coochie, selling off the resturant to Plankton and both Squidward and Patrick being jobless.
  • Wham Line: "Canned Coochie 3" has Mr. Krabs give a big one when Squidward tells him to move on from coochie.
    Mr. Krabs: But... But... I spent every last penny I had on this! [begins sobbing]
    Squidward: You WHAT?!
    Mr. Krabs: Every single dollar I had... invested in coochie!
  • Yet Another Christmas Carol: "A Krabmas Karol" shows that Mr. Krabs lied about being broke, and that by refusing to sign Squidward's last paycheck, three ghosts start haunting him. By the end, Mr. Krabs doesn't learn the intended lesson of being less greedy and instead, he gets the idea to sell NFTs.

    Tropes relating to Donkey Kong Country Abridged 
  • The Abridged Series: To Donkey Kong Country.
  • Ass Shove: In "Big Dumb Day", King K. Rool tries absorbing the Crystal Titty's energies by shoving it up his rectum. After Cranky tells him it doesn't work that way, he pulls it back out.
  • Celibate Hero: DK is still a bit dumb, but has absolutely no interest in Diddy's literally Love Hungry desires he keeps tempting him in several ways for something sexual or romantic. Especially how Diddy seems to view himself as a female. It's a Zigzagged Trope, however: DK still constantly simps for Candy.
  • Didn't Think This Through: In Big Dumb Day, DK kicks the Crystal Titty out of Krusha's hands and into the atmosphere. K. Rool then points out that now nobody has the crystal. DK isn't too phased.
  • Dirty Old Man: Al portrays Cranky as a perpetually horny creep who desperately tries to get it on with DK.
  • Embarrassing Browser History: When the Crystal Titty is stolen by King K. Rool, Cranky's main concern is that he'll use it to expose his undoubtedly perverted (and heavily implied to be illegal) Internet history.
  • Embarrassing Cover Up: In "Ape Fool Young", after DK gets turned into a baby from Cranky's Forbidden Hawaiian Punch, Diddy tries to hide Baby DK from Candy by saying he's pregnant and that Baby DK is his child. Candy falls for it, but Cranky quickly pieces together that DK drank his Forbidden Hawaiian Punch.
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • Diddy may be sexually attracted to DK, but he wouldn't think about getting it on with him as a baby (well, maybe for a moment, but he decides against it).
    • Cranky Kong is a perverted horny creep with a long criminal record, but even he is shocked and disgusted that the viewer chose to watch inflation when they have the power of god at their fingertips.
  • Force Feeding: In "Big Dumb Day", Diddy forces DK to eat the last few bananas he needs to get his hair back despite his protests.
  • Forgot to Pay the Bill: In "Big Dumb Day", when the propeller of Bluster's Barrelcopter gives out, he remarks "It appears I forgot to pay the propeller bill this month."
  • Fourth Wall Greeting: In "Big Dumb Day", Cranky greets the viewer after his song, wondering if they're "IncestLover32 from eharmony.com" and showing them his Crystal Titty.
  • Gag Penis: Diddy Kong's penis is apparently half as long as his entire body.
  • Genius Ditz: Klump apparently had trouble coming up with a way to cut DK's hair, so he and the other Kremlings built a Candy Kong robot to make a plan for them.
  • I Just Want to Be Beautiful: King K. Rool's reason for wanting the Crystal Titty is so he can use it to become an attractive Playgirl model.
  • Mundane Wish: In "Big Dumb Day", Cranky invites the audience to use the Crystal Titty to make their wildest dreams come true. They choose to watch inflation porn. note 
    Cranky: You have the power of God at your fingertips and you choose to watch inflation?! What the hell is wrong with you?!
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Al models Cranky's voice after Gilbert Gottfried's.
  • Noodle Implements: In "Ape Fool Young", the Forbidden Hawaiian Punch that Cranky drinks to make himself younger is made up of cocaine, Viagra, recycled urine, ham-in-a-bottle, juicy brain cells, and Splenda.
  • Shout-Out:
    • In "Ape Fool Young", Klump and the Kritters quote Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love" in the form of a military chant.
    • Also in "Ape Fool Young", when King K. Rool forces Cranky to show him how to use the Crystal Titty, Cranky's method of stalling for time is similar to Mindy's from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
  • With Catlike Tread: When Baby DK escapes with the Crystal Titty in "Ape Fool Young", K. Rool orders Klump to get it back. Klump gets the idea to sneak over to DK's place with some Kremlings in barrels...barrels that make a hell of a racket when they move. Not helping is Klump talking or yelling at the top of his lungs.
  • You and What Army?: In "Ape Fool Young", when General Klump tries to get the Crystal Titty from Baby DK at DK's House:
    Klump: Surrender yourself now, and we won't have to sneak up there!
    Diddy: Oh, yeah? Ahahahaha! You and what army?
    [Kritters cock their firearms inside their barrels]
    Diddy: The army of misfit barrels. (to Baby DK) I told you they weren't just a nightmare!
