SpongeBob: How does Squidward die? The terrifying story on Nickelodeon

There is no doubt that the SpongeBob series is one of the most famous in television history. This creation, broadcast on the Nickelodeon channel, managed to conquer children and adults with the characters who live in Bikini Bottom and who crossed paths to live incredible adventures. In his history, he even has a large number of films and versions in different styles of animation. His popularity also reached Latin America, having J Balvin as one of the singers to promote one of the films. And yes, this was one of the songs that Residente used to make the “tiradera” with Bizarrap.

One of the most loved and hated characters is Squidward, SpongeBob's neighbor and lover of classical music and art. He was a cashier for Don Cangrejo's Crustacean and was always looking for an opportunity to skip working hours. It is characterized by its pessimism and sarcasm, which, obviously, was not understood by “square pants”.

It was this frustrated clarinetist who became the inspiration of a creepypasta (disturbing stories that may or may not be true and that go viral through social networks) that announced the death of this mollusk. This idea did not remain in a creation made by a fan, but was taken as inspiration for a chapter that was broadcast on television.

¿CÓMO MUERE CALAMARDO?

Before the Marvel multiverses there was a parallel universe in Bikini Bottom. To understand the context, we have to watch episode 256, which was titled “Welcome to Randomland” and corresponds to season 12. Although there was speculation that this was a joke, the Nickelodeon network made this version official, supporting its transmission.

It must be a different edition from the one we read in creepypasta or the versions of blocking (a software that allows you to alter your voice). What is going on in that episode?

The story reveals an adventure of SpongeBob and Squidward, who take a trip to a city where nothing makes sense and is made up of foreign objects and beings. The name of this place is called Randomland.

The protagonists are surrounded by several doors, and when Calamardo decides to choose one, he gets an unpleasant surprise when he opens it. Scary versions of him appear in the room. The last image he sees of himself is where a frightening look is visualized.

According to the creepypasta, this is how it ended when he gave a concert with his clarinet, receiving insults and attacks from those who attended to see him. Disappointed in his presentation, he makes the decision to take his own life by shooting himself.

It is for this reason that some fans considered that the worker of Don Cangrejo was frightened because he saw how his life was going to end, terrifying him completely. Although no explicit scenes are shown, this episode was censored in the United Kingdom, but it did manage to appear on Nickelodeon's US programming.

On social networks we can find short clips of this curious story that is part of the special episodes of the SpongeBob series, since they are not related to the original story developed in the previous episodes of the season.
