[IhateLegg]

I'm watching the episode right now and I just realized the allusion...so naturally, I went on YouTube to see if anyone had noticed it, haha.

[PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

i never noticed until now. o.o'

[EDubsGurl]

Ahaha this is awesome! I'm pretty sure the music is the same. Or at least, so extremely similar, they might as well be identical.

[Willster7471]

[reesek9]

[Nikkimaniac1]

[learningapple]

[125sonicboom]

[Relicix]

[moviechick9620]

LOL

[EmsMakeItUp]

there arent any original ideas anymore, they are always copies

She's the man: Twelfth night

Sydney White: snow white

they've all been done before.

[AKix32296]

@EmsMakeItUp yeah, they need to get their own ideas. It doesnt matter though, they will never beat the originals.

[EmsMakeItUp]

@AKix32296 yeah, classics will never be beat<3

[lilypad1898]

Oh my god how did I not realize this??? And my english class just read the tell tale heart too lol

[dannyandfriendsshow]

Its ment to be a spoof

[susankohistany]

Last time I watched this episode was when I was a kid....I started reading Edgar Allan Poes stories when I became a teen ager....so if I saw this episode recently I'd be jumping around at the reference to Poes' story in SPONGEBOB.How cool!

[TheSecondR]

The Squeak Squeak Boots...

[awkwardjillian]

Thats awesome!

[tamarstar21]

omg..

[SamhainTheDark]

Yeah, anybody who read the story and saw the episode already knew this.

[cnot56]

im just glad im not the only person who noticed this. i was in literature class and it was the part in tell tale heart and i yelled. "the booots!!!!!!"

[ThePeregrinestar]

How did I miss this?

[MyMSIRomance]

Wow, I haven't even noticed. I guess because I forgot about this episode.

[Dragonange18]

XD I recognized it the first time. (Of course I've read tons of Poe's works.)

[shadowpuppyadspongy]

lol i thought that when we learned about the tell tale heart at school! :/ wierd huh?

[xoutkastx3]

Isn't this kind of the joke?

[TrixieFromSanFran]

@xoutkastx3

Yup. Not sure if this guy thinks he's the fucking man for figuring this out or if he's just retarded.

[DisneyBlackJet]

This is exactly what I thought! When I was reading that in school a while back I thought, "This is interesting...hey, wait a minute...(*gasp*) SpongeBob!!!" Very glad I'm not the only one who noticed. xD

[Smellslikerandomness]

holy crap how did i not notice this till now? i love spongebob and Poe equally so one wud think id figure this out xD

[rickman1945]

They kinda did that on purpose. Thats what spongebob does takes old stories and makes them funny and kid friendly. =)

[roxygurl2291]

oh my god how did i never notice this

[MPCvideostuff]

thats what i thought

[AdanteYuroku]

Press 6 for Boots. XD

[ryansdwag]

You are really smart to notice this.

[kosmichin]

This is fucking quality.

[ivettexxx]

i was watching this episode with my lil brother, and started jumping up and down going "oo, the tell-tale heart! the tell-tale heart!!" and my parents were like "okaaaaaaay, she's finally gone crazy."

my parents don't respect the classics. i'm pretty sure they don't even know who edgar allen poe is. 'tis sad.

[MysticalSelah]

@ivettexxx LOL! I remember seeing that too. I felt smart ^_^

[Allsoproductions]

@ivettexxx Ikr? i cant believe some older people (ESPECIALLY ADULTS) have never heard of him.

[mushroom4511]

@ivettexxx I did that exact same thing! :D

[ghidorah5464]

haha as soon as i read the tell tale heart i noticed this

[Nextil81]

My A-Level English Language teacher showed this episode to the class, as we are preparing for a creative writing coursework and read The Tell-Tale Heart as an example of Gothic Fiction.

Two lessons prior, when the temperature outside was something like -7°C and the classroom was only marginally warmer, she took the entire class to a nearby café where she took everyone's orders and then held the lesson.

Quite evidently, she is awesome.

[Galladegal2009]

lol i knew this was spongebob's version of the tell tale heart. XD

[bendesmond66]

this is hella cool my friend just caught the reference one day and it made alot of sense

[awaizy]

*Removes monocle*

Dear God!

[ThatOneGuy831]

[StrangerYouKnow]

I realized this while in school today. I felt enlightened.

[emsytraut]

:-(

[prettypeggy09]

Yea? That was what they were going for.

[SNTwistedSeries]
