Today I'm playing SpongeBob SquarePants: Truth or Square on the Xbox 360! I take on the first level, see what this SpongeBob game has to offer, and then somehow manage to put up with the rest of it—even though this is clearly aimed at a much younger audience.

How does Truth or Square hold up? Is there more here than meets the eye, or am I just suffering through a kids game for your entertainment? Let's find out!

00:04Okay, so you probably didn't expect me to play this game, but Spongebob's Squarepants Truth or Square on a 360.
00:12The reason I have this game is because when they were offering games with gold, and I got my Xbox
00:19One, I made sure to capitalize on all of them, no matter what it was.
00:27Now, it sucks that you have to have at least Game Pass Core to play the Xbox One games, but
00:33the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox games, you can play even if you don't have Xbox Game Pass Core,
00:49Premium, or Ultimate.
00:56Now, I gotta be honest, I was never a fan of Spongebob's Squarepants when I used to watch Nickelodeon.
01:07Oh, Gary, I'm so excited! I can't believe tomorrow is the eleventy-seventh anniversary of the Krusty Krab!
01:15That's right, Gary! Mr. Krabs is letting me have the par-tay at my pineapple! He's letting me pay for
01:21everything, too. Isn't he great?
01:22Meow!
01:24Spongebob, look sharp, me boy! Tomorrow's a very important day! Borkashi! Think of all the Krabby Patties we'll sell!
01:34Uh, Mr. Krabs, shouldn't the secret formula be in a safe place?
01:37Good thinking, lad! Here, take the formula and put it somewhere safe!
01:42Aye aye, Mr. Krabs! I won't let you down!
01:45He doesn't remember that he put it wherever he put it, in his head or whatever.
01:50Hey, Patrick! What are you doing here?
01:51Mr. Krabs hired me as security for the big event!
01:55Bah! Oh no! Patrick! Where did I put the formula? I can't remember!
02:01Did you look in your pocket?
02:03It's not there!
02:05Oh! Hey! Hey! Maybe it's in my pocket! Nope!
02:09Okay, Spongebob, don't panic! I can feel my normally carefree and jovial attitude dissolving away!
02:15What does that mean?
02:17It means, I'm sad! And when I'm sad, I can't remember anything!
02:23Patrick, we need to find that formula before you know who does.
02:27P-L-A-N-K...
02:29P-H-P-O-N!
02:32P-L-A-N-K-Ton! How long have you been there?
02:35Long enough to know you're in big trouble!
02:38Hehehehe!
02:39Well, Spongebob, seeing as we are friends...
02:41Hold on!
02:42Um, it seems only right that I help you remember where you put the formula!
02:47Oh, that would be so nice of you, Plankton! I'd love your help!
02:51Hey, wait a minute! How do I know you're not just trying to get the formula all for yourself?
02:56Um, my honest face?
02:59Then okay, let's find that formula!
03:04I know it's a kid's cartoon and everything, but...
03:08Okay, let's review, shall we?
03:10Step one, draft sleeping Spongebob into chair, check!
03:14Is the- is the comedy just from the characters being so stupid?
03:17Step two, drink bots, check!
03:17Step three, do laundry, I mean insert bots into brain, check!
03:21Step four, turn on remote, check and double check!
03:26Now, with this control, I'll guide my precious nanobots into the deepest recesses of Spongebob's tiny mind, where I will
03:32extract from his memory banks the precise location of the grabbing many secret formula once and for all!
03:39At least all people could get a chuck- uh, all people of all age groups can at least get
03:44a chuckle at abuse and butthead.
03:46Okay, change of plans! I will now enter Spongebob's brain and find the formula myself!
03:48I- I couldn't imagine telling someone, like, of an older age range or my age, uh, range about this,
03:55about what I've seen so far, and them thinking it's funny.
04:11I'm so happy I could hug a jellyfish hive!
04:22Happiness is as happiness does!
04:34AAH CHEESE
04:52AAH CHEEESE
04:54actually my younger brother and i were arguing which is better beavers and butthead or a family
04:59guy and when i when i said that beavers and butthead was better and my younger brother tried
05:07to dispute that my mom stepped in and said no i can at least uh i'll say that beavers and
05:14butthead
05:14is definitely better than family guy i can at least get a chuckle out of beavers and butthead
05:24um unless you're a kid why would you get a why would you get a chuckle out of this
05:41i think that's everything
05:50so let me get this straight the only way you're going to remember where you put the formula
05:56is if you're happy
05:58uh that's my story
06:02seriously spongebob how hard can it be to make you happy
06:05oh no don't tell me he's going to try to cheer him up
06:07remember when we were jellyfishing that made you happy
06:12wow patrick i feel happier already
06:14i thought i thought he was going to try to do something
06:17uh funny
06:18oh i should say funny
06:21to cheer um spongebob up
06:33i cannot answer any of these questions because like the only time i see like spongebob clips
06:38is like if someone's doing like a video essay and they use like a clip from the show
06:49so like these trivia questions
06:53the only way i could get one right is if it was a complete guess
06:57sheldon j plankton
07:04i'm bursting with happiness
07:10i can
07:18i'm so happy i'm out of my way
07:22this hammer's got a mind of its own
07:34must he talk
07:50because i will say this like
07:52yeah this is a kid's game obviously
07:55but like
07:57at least the gameplay
08:00doesn't
08:00doesn't feel like it was programmed by a kid
08:04now look at something equally as annoying
08:07like bubsy
08:12actually saying bubsy was programmed by kids might be complimenting it especially if you're talking about bubsy 3d on playstation
08:26how are the other bubsy games anyway
08:29because i know like he was on super nintendo i know he was like was bubsy 3d just the worst
08:36of the worst or were the other games just about just as bad
08:50i can't
08:53i can't
08:59i can't
09:05i can't
09:08i can't
09:08i can't
09:08i can't
09:16i can't
09:17i can't
09:20i can't
09:36i can't
09:39i can't
09:43i can't
09:49get back into
09:49uh
09:51reviewing games
09:52um
09:53like i've done is so and so worth playing in whatever year it happens to be
09:59but
09:59in order to
10:01make a
10:02video
10:03i have to play the game
10:05that's what
10:06so
10:09and i'm
10:10i can't
10:10i can't
10:11guarantee
10:11i'll
10:12play all the games to
10:13i'm not going to guarantee that i'll play all the games to completion
10:17but i'm at least going to try to play them enough
10:19or well i will play them enough
10:22to where like you know i get
10:24i had
10:25uh
10:27time to experience the gameplay the sound
10:34and i won't review the i won't do it i won't uh until i quit the game
10:38like i don't want to play it anymore at all
10:42or
10:43um
10:43if
10:44when i beat it
11:06the game
11:07it's
11:11it's
11:12it's
11:14it's
11:16it's
11:16it's
11:24it's
11:25it's
11:45You can't stop me.
11:47Oops, I guess you can.
11:58I was just thinking if I would play Beewis and Butthead again, I mean, I could obviously,
12:04I wouldn't even have to spend money on the game.
12:06If I wanted, I could just get a ROM for the Sega Genesis emulator, because the Sega Genesis
12:17one is the one that I played as a kid, but also I beat it.
12:21And the thing is, I'm not trying to replay games I already beat.
12:24It's either ones I never got to play, or ones that I've never beaten.
12:31So like Animaniacs on Genesis, I'm going to get that, um, or probably emulate it.
12:47Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy.
12:50That'll put a little spring in your staff.
13:00Prepare to be knocked out!
13:14Stop swimming so fast!
13:16I've only got five legs, and one of them's my head!
13:42I don't see a live counter, so...
13:57Stop swimming so fast!
13:59I've only got five legs, and one of them's my head!
14:12Stop swimming so fast!
14:13I've only got five legs, and one of them's my head!
14:19What?
14:39Okay, if he's jumping ten feet in the air, because he can't be in water for whatever
14:44reason.
14:46Why can't he move in the air so you can guide him onto the platform?
14:54Who built these, a nervous carpenter?
14:56Bob!
15:02You can shake me, but you can't break me!
15:10Where are you, my mighty hammer?
15:20Who built these, a nervous carpenter?
15:22Bob!
15:26Jellyfish jelly on the floor!
15:28Jellyfish jelly on the floor!
15:54I'm trying to ignore what he's saying.
16:13That's a life jacket?
16:15I thought that was a casino chip at first.
16:22Of course, why would casino chip be in Spongebob?
16:30Although, for all I know, they probably have at least one episode that took place in an underwater
16:39casino or something.
16:42I can do this in my sleep.
16:45I'm going to calm you and you're gone wrong.
16:47Yeah.
16:58Let's go.
17:24Let's go.
17:50Let's go.
17:51And another thing, is Nickelodeon, um, like, curbing for money?
17:57Because the reason I ask is, now this was a few years ago, so I haven't checked it since.
18:03Do you ever feel like a ride is just one big game?
18:06But, like, one time I went through, like, the cable guide for a whole Saturday.
18:11The whole day, nothing but Spongebob.
18:14That one cartoon all day.
18:17They had it, like, they had, like, different names for it.
18:20Because I, like, I, it would, it would, but it was, it was a Spongebob cartoon.
18:26It just, it wasn't the original cartoon.
18:28It was, like, some special for something.
18:33And then, if that wasn't bad enough, Nick at night, all night, was Mike and Molly and friends.
18:42Like, a three hour block of Mike and Molly, and a three hour block of friends, and then more Mike
18:49and Molly, and then more friends.
18:52The whole night.
18:57Now, I've never really been able to get into friends.
19:00I've watched a few episodes.
19:02I just couldn't stick with it.
19:07Mike and Molly, it's fine for, like, an episode or two.
19:13But then you just, like, want something different.
19:16It's, like, it's not bad, but it's not something you'd binge.
19:20Or at least something I would want to binge.
19:24And it's just, like, what happened to the, when, uh, Nick at Night had, like, a whole, um, like, 10,
19:3115, 20 different, uh, sitcoms, uh, throughout the night at Nick at Night.
19:39You know, in the 90s, there used to be comparisons, um, between Nick at Night and, uh, TV Land.
19:45Cause, like, Nick at Night had shows, like, Bewitched.
19:48TV Land had shows, like, I Dream of Jeannie.
19:52No one's gonna choose Nick at Night over anything.
19:57Uh, if you just got two sitcoms all night.
20:08So I'm just wondering, maybe they can't afford any more sitcoms than what they have?
20:20Otherwise, I don't, I just don't understand.
20:42Oh, if I remember correctly, I think Team Nick was also just non-existent.
20:47That Saturday I checked.
20:51So, like, it went straight from cartoons, like, until 8pm, and then the adult shows started.
20:59Or Nick at Night.
21:01And by Nick at Night, I mean the binge-watching of Mike and Molly and, uh, friends.
21:11I am not moving till I find that formula.
21:15Wait, that won't work.
21:30As he happens, hooray!
21:39I'm so happy I could hug a jellyfish hive.
21:45I'm so happy I could hug a jellyfish hive.
21:58Happiness is it.
21:59That'll put a little spring in your step.
22:02Boing, boing, boing.
22:04I'm so happy I could hug a jellyfish hive.
22:20I feel flirty too much on that.
22:29I'm so happy I could hug a jellyfish hive.
22:33I'm so happy I could hug a jellyfish hive.
22:33Uh, it's not a bad platformer.
22:42I mean, I'd criticize the music that they make you listen to, but why do I think that music comes
22:48from the show?
22:58Do you think that mà?
23:03Do you think that's me?
23:04Where do you think that being amplified?
23:08Do you think it's such a long show?
23:15Do you see anything that is good when we're in hiding?
23:17Here we go.
23:18And I can tell you!
23:19This is a happiness dive!
23:20This is how you're moving.
23:25This is a happiness dive!
23:31Boom!
23:32Let's match this!
23:34Woo-hoo!
23:38Oh yeah!
23:39How do you like me now?
23:41Well, you can't like me to start your rescue or work off.
23:45Who is this happy?
23:47I am supposed to be!
23:50Bonicles!
23:51This is no time to stop and start beating.
23:55Beware, I hope you have it next week!
24:0025 enemies, really?
24:03Oh, there's the low!
24:07I couldn't...
24:08I smashed...
24:09Oh my!
24:10I'm bursting with happiness!
24:15Found a tickle!
24:17Beware, my mighty hammer, can't be!
24:25I'm bursting with happiness!
24:27I'm bursting with happiness!
24:27I'm bursting with happiness!
24:29I am Spunbox!
24:30Robot reductionist!
24:32Fear my mighty hammer!
24:35I don't even think, uh...
24:36Back to the...
24:37Nick...
24:38Nickelodeon discussion...
24:40The programming...
24:41When I, uh...
24:42Went through the cable guide...
24:43To see, like, what they...
24:44Had on over the course of one full Saturday...
24:49Although...
24:49This might have been since it was a Saturday...
24:53Uh...
24:55They had no Nick Jr. on either...
24:57And I could tell...
24:58Like I said, it was all Spongebob...
25:00All day!
25:04I'm not gonna hurt you, little jellyfish!
25:06I just want to keep you in a jar of jellyfish!
25:09So...
25:10But then again...
25:11I...
25:11If I remember correctly...
25:12And...
25:13This is from the 90s...
25:14I think Nick Jr. was holding on during the week!
25:32So...
25:33So...
25:33Anyway...
25:34I would have to stop in a few minutes...
25:35So...
25:35I'm just gonna get to...
25:37Where I could do the next level...
25:39Um...
25:39Exit out...
25:40Make sure my game is saved...
25:43And...
25:43Yes, I'll eventually play this again...
25:51Okay, so...
25:53Uh...
