      Season 4 SpongeBob hollowed out the characters. Anything after the movie turns the characters into caricatures. Squidward is just there as a punching bag, SpongeBob is obnoxious, Patrick is just dumb, Sandy is just a scientist.

      I remember watching that Karate Island episode when it came out as a kid and realizing that SpongeBob was over.

    So … the gun gives him a sense of power when he gets depressed and is feeling powerless with the direction things are going in his life?

    So what if instead of this being about a cartoon this was someone getting really angry at their wife so they have to go to their office and have to “grip a gun really tight for a few minutes until they calm down”? Or maybe getting angry at their boss… or their neighbor… or the government? That’s pretty disturbing.

    Is this why people collect so many guns? If one gun gives you a sense of power, many guns means you have lots more power, right? (even though you only have one trigger finger) That also kind of explains why guns are so popular amongst people without much real power.
