Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Alex Bale, the creator behind Pizza Time Pizza and Promos, decided in the early 2020s to make a Web Video series about a beloved children's show in order to grow his YouTube channel. To do this, he became known as the spongebob guy and assembled elaborate conspiracy theories about of the lore of SpongeBob SquarePants. His theories are quite well-researched, using evidence from all seasons to prove outlandish theories that, by the end, seem scarily plausible.As the theories continue, however, it's certain that not everything is as it seems. By the end of the third episode, it is revealed that Alex is not creating the theories on his own. In fact, some strange thing inside his house, referred only to as "The Muse" is giving him the materials necessary to craft theories into successful videos. And with each theory it creates, it begins to demand more to sustain itself...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series itself is part of a larger Alternate Reality Game known as "The Muse ARG" tied to an assortment of other video series, such as The Cynical Critic, Conspiracy Carl, Sonc the Blue Rat, Happy Meat Farms (which was actually a sponsor of one of the videos), The Paradox Files (or Paradox1313), and Wesley Harold Films. The other shows are not required to understand the main plot, but they expand upon the world and the people living in it.With the eighth episode of The SpongeBob Conspiracy completed, Alex Bale has stated that he will move on from making theory videos and will instead focus on the Muse story. According to him, this was always the plan, and the story itself is nearing its completion. He subsequently released a compilation video of the Framing Device thus far for the convenience of not needing to see the theories themselves to understand the story. Despite this claim, he would later release a teaser for a 9th theory, and while the trailer places heavy focus on the ARG itself, it makes clear another theory is coming. Said "theory" was posted that October 21, revealed to instead be Don't Feed the Muse II, a full short film showing the Muses expanding their power over their hosts, with the "ninth SpongeBob theory" being brief bumpers used to demonstrate that Alex is still stuck making the videos in-universe.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The playlist for the videos can be found here. | |

Trolling Creator: In late July 2021, Alex began teasing his sixth theory, claiming it's about the "Bubble Illuminati" and posting SpongeBob screenshots related to bubbles. The video teaser even had bubbles featured in its thumbnail, even though it revealed the Goofy Goober Alien Death Cult as the true focus. Soon after the sixth theory's premiere, Alex claims a different theory will be featured as the seventh, such as the Seven Deadly Sins, the Secret Box, Rock Bottom Purgatory, the actual theory, the Bubble Illuminati (again), a theory blatantly stolen from The Theorizer, and a sequel to his Mrs. Puff theory. | |

Wham Shot: After about three videos consisting of theories, the third one ends with Alex picking up some raw meat, entering a garage and throwing the meat next to the darkness. Then something drags into the darkness, after which a theory in a bottle rolls next to Alex's feet. In the ninth episode we finally see the Muse's true form, and it is terrifying. Another in that same episode: The Muse has Alex cornered, when it suddenly morphs into... a clone of Alex. | |

Body Horror | |
| SpongeBob Conspiracy (Web Video) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The videos posted on the "This place is not happy" YouTube channel are filled with this. It turns out that Happy Meat Farms, the company that appears in all of the other channels and which have been sponsoring the channels as well, is conducting disturbing experiments on farm animals that turns them into grotesque monsters. It's also possible they are using these creatures for the meat they sell, and, according to their website, they have been putting diseases in their meat that people contract when eaten. It turns out that Cecile Mathew, Carl's wife and Mark's mother, contracted cancer from infected ground beef, being the catalyst for their start on the internet, with Mark becoming the Cynical Critic in order to get money to reinstate her health insurance, something his Muse helped with. Sadly, it later turns out she ended up succumbing to her cancer. The next leaked videos reveals that HMF has moved on to experimenting on humans, and considers the more mutated ones "successful". | |

Surprise Creepy: What initially seems like a series of harmless SpongeBob fan theories paves the way to a story about a Horror Hunger series that comments on the corrupting influence that can come with fame by the end of the third episode and beyond. The April Fools' Day video is this in and of itself. Initially beginning with a handful of outlandish theories from an AI, the video turns into a nightmarish vision over time as the AI breaks down, making for one of the most unsettling watches out of any videos in the series. | |

Logging On To The Fourth Wall: Subverted In "Don't Feed the Muse II", which opens with what is apparently the ninth SpongeBob theory, "The Alien Jellyfish Invasion Theory", only for the camera to pan out and reveal it's an in-universe YouTube video Alex is watching. The camera pans out far enough for the audience to see the address bar of the browser, but the URL for the video only says "youtube.com/watch?v=". The omission of the hash prevents viewers from seeing the full 27:17 unlisted video for themselves. | |

April Fools: Played for horror. For the "eighth theory", Alex had to set up an A.I. to do the work for him so that he wouldn't slave away like normal. The results start off just fine, presenting "The Squidward Theory"...but then the video starts changing, his voice starts to sound more robotic and Alex's face becomes more and more twisted. By the end of the video, the A.I. crashes, and Alex says he'll have the actual eighth theory a month from that day. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| SpongeBob Conspiracy (Web Video) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: The events of the Don't Feed the Muse segments get bigger and bigger. In the first instance, Alex just hands the Muse some meat, who in return rolls a theory in a bottle to Alex. In the second instance, the muse speaks for the first time. In the third, the muse is nowhere to be seen in the garage. When Alex goes to write a SpongeBob theory, it shows up on the ceiling. In the fourth, he gets a kitten that gets eaten alive as the muse's meal. In the sixth, Victoria reveals she also has a muse in her house. In the eighth, the Muse actually stings Alex, and corrupts him in some way. He ends up birthing another Muse, which goes on to give ideas to Wesley. Also, Victoria is implied to have given birth to Alex's Muse. The SpongeBob theories themselves also have this: The first one starts off rather tame with the idea being Squilliam was a fraud who resented Squidward because they had dated years before. The second video theorizes that the entire show is staged with Sandy Cheeks herself assisting in keeping up the illusion. Mrs. Puff, according to the third theory, accidentally causes the death of a powerful lawyer's relative and as revenge, she is forced to continue to teach SpongeBob to her chagrin and at the cost of her mental health. There are two separate varieties of sea creatures: the ones who had "evolved" thanks to Neptune's magic, and the non-sapient feral ones. A war ensued resulting in Mr. Krabs adopting Pearl after killing her mother. Oh, and the Krabby Patty secret formula has the whale meat of Pearl's dead mother as an ingredient. The fifth video suggests that King Neptune usurped King Poseidon, taking his kingdom and his wife, after being given powers and technological abilities by the alien Atlanteans so that Poseidon couldn't steal their wealth and exterminate their people. Goofy Goober's Ice Cream is posited to be a front for a cult that brainwashes its members using mind-altering ice cream, and the cult believes not only in aliens, but also in apocalypse. This also drastically changes the story of The Sponge Bob Square Pants Movie from being a story about SpongeBob self-realizing himself and accepting his inner kid to being fully indoctrinated into a dangerous cult. Plankton, desiring to rule the world, modifies robots and distributes them throughout Bikini Bottom whilst also trying to replace normal citizens by removing their brains. The theory also suggests that Patrick is actually a robot himself having become one after the events of "Patrick SmartPants." Patchy the Pirate not only dies never meeting SpongeBob, but reincarnates as the vengeful Flying Dutchman, who gains multiple powerful abilities, including time travel, and uses them to harass and haunt SpongeBob for wronging him in his mortal life. Patchy also experiences time separately than the others, traveling through time and encountering people for the first time in the future. Oh, and he eats Potty. | |

Horror Hunger | |
| SpongeBob Conspiracy (Web Video) / int_cf7b362 | comment |
What initially seems like a series of harmless SpongeBob fan theories paves the way to a story about a Horror Hunger series that comments on the corrupting influence that can come with fame by the end of the third episode and beyond. | |

The Muse | |
| SpongeBob Conspiracy (Web Video) / int_e71886 | comment |
The Muse: A very twisted example comes with the muses, as they give people ideas on what creative endeavor they should go on. For Alex, it's SpongeBob theories. For Carl, it's over-the-top conspiracies. For Mark, it's controversial opinions on media. For Wesley, it's a Dolled-Up Installment of the Paradox franchise. | |

April Fools' Day | |
| SpongeBob Conspiracy (Web Video) / int_eac3ee70 | comment |
The April Fools' Day video is this in and of itself. Initially beginning with a handful of outlandish theories from an AI, the video turns into a nightmarish vision over time as the AI breaks down, making for one of the most unsettling watches out of any videos in the series. | |

Took a Level in Cynic | |
| SpongeBob Conspiracy (Web Video) / int_f49ba6ee | comment |
Took a Level in Cynic:It turns out that Mark, the Cynical Critic, used to have a lot more positive and nuanced reviews on media out of passion, but after his mother contracted cancer, he became a lot more depressed, and now deliberately posts controversial takes to get ad revenue. | |

Evil, Inc. | |
| SpongeBob Conspiracy (Web Video) / int_ff934825 | comment |
Evil, Inc.: Happy Meat Farms, to an absurd degree. Not only do they conduct unethical genome experiments on animals and people (many of which are volunteers most likely unaware of their true intent or noncompliant employees and journalists) that turn them into horrific examples of Body Horror, but they also are heavily implied to be allies of the Muse species (including a larger version known as MOTHER), and are able to consistently cover up their misdeeds with schemes such as The Paradox Files, a fictional movie series based on aliens. And if all that wasn't enough, they are even explicitly aiming towards putting the world under a New World Order. | |
