    This makes me realize that I want desk toy which is metallic, heavy and has a satisfying mechanical action, but which does not resemble a firearm in appearance or function. Basically all the tactile experience of playing with a revolver, but none of the legal or emotional baggage.

      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.

        My kid was into SpongeBob, and wanted to watch them all on Paramount Plus. I was trying to get him to stick to the older ones. The new ones are indeed crap.

    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.
