The Inner Machinations of my mind are an enigma

[IronKnuckleKO]

@MUJAHID56787 Best... Explanation... EVER...

[JumbledFilms]

The spilling milk (being white, a bland colour) represents society's expectations and their will for everyone to fall into line, while the colourful tablecloth represents Patrick's vibrant personality.

Patrick finds that as a unique individual, he is constantly getting the "milk of expectations" spilled over him by society, making him fall into line to avoid social isolation.

Deep, deep stuff.

[bmerlin24]

definition:the mechanics(the way it works) in his brain are puzzling.

[Mercury630]

spongebob just doesn't have these memorable moments anymore

[untouchable6983]

So short but  funny!

[IronKnuckleKO]

I still want to know something... HOW THE FUCK DID THAT MILK CARTON FALL OVER...?!

[MUJAHID56787]

@IronKnuckleKO Its an enigma

[galaxy1212]

omg. Machinations? i learned this word for the SAT. Spongebob was the last place i expected to hear an SAT word. I love old spongebob even more now.

[TrizTENTHOUSAND]

LAGGED MY COMPUTER

[Umhelloguuys]

LIKE A BOSS!!!!

[SandvichEatingGuy]

Word of the genius. Patrick should be ranked as 'The Confucius of 21st century' . Thumbs up!!!

[iLigfe]

When the milk spilled, I cried.

[orcacam07]

Truly brilliant. The falling milk symbolizes Patrick's desire to break free and spread himself out among society, not falling into the pressures of the world around him, but to be his own individual in this fucked up world.

We should all aspire to be like Patrick.

[4everOscar]

@orcacam07 Well said

[xHawkzorz]

The real question is.... How did the milk Fall...



[thebubblesplat817]

Cool story, bro

This is the best Forum Weapon ever.

[XRavenCruceX]

I Said this to my friend today and he looked at me like I've lost my mind 0_o

[fishbeard]

True story.

[UrfyGurls1923]

One Word: Epic.

[Theraclese]

i always loved this episode, also partially due the fact that whenever you saw it, that meant that the next episode would ALWAYS be the bubble bowl

[SuperScientist101]

"The Inner Machinations of my mind are an enigma" says Patrick.

(Daydreams of a spilled milk carton).

[Yeahtoast27]

@EpicWin1997 that's the point

[EpicWin1997]

What made that milk fall? O.o

[kittttygirl5]

spongebobs face in the backround

[TheDancinDoggeh]

when i was a kid i had no fucking clue what he was saying



[DeloreandudeTommy]

The milk symbolizes the world. Once it begins tipping, it has only a short period of time to correct the tipping before the milk topples all the way over. Furthermore, even once it corrects the tipping it must worry about the rebound caused by correcting the tipping the first time. Therefore, the world must constantly correct itself or else it will fail.

Or it could mean that it's time for me to stop watching these videos and posting really long comments at 4 in the morning and go to bed.

don't want to press the repeat button anymore? /watch?v=vBjL29_TgFI

[JulianManatee]

@burpenen The most important part is the falling milk, which you've edited out till the end.

[jrwest1]

@burpenen You Must Not Understand What This means...

[djaysmaster50]

@burpenen or just type repeat after youtube on the url to save time

[UrfyGurls1923]

@burpenen or after 'youtube' (in the URL bar) and before the '.com' type repeat and it will play forever. :D

[thebaronvoncarson]

What episode is this from?

[metallicsalmon]

12 people are crying over spilt milk :D



[Zxerom]

Was just watching that on tv a few days ago

and I went "If only Family Guy stayed like spongebob, maybe I'd watch it more"

[PatRICKStar577]

Mind=Blown

[jlrhind94]

I love how i only had to type in "the inner" in the search bar and the video just shows up

[SlamIt889]

definition- the evil in his mind is puzzling

[TimeForFunGuy]

This was the Google - I'm Feeling Lucky search result for the video's title.

[ShatteredSki3s]

lol what it means is: how my mind works is a mystery

[luigymanx781]

WAIT! I think Patrick might be on to something. I think that the spilled milk symbolizes the freedom that we have. We will not be trapped by the cartons of supremacy! I think it's all a socio-political message. I have no idea what I just said.

[WaffleIdioticShweetz]

It Proves A Point. Society`s Stupid. Also, The I In Milk On The Carton Is Lowercased! Lol.

[lol4481]

this is hilarious. i didn;t understand it when i was younger but now i do and its funny 

[burpenen]

I made a 15 minute version of this :D check it /watch?v=vBjL29_TgFI

[skoolsux123death]

@ilikiecheese I did and also said "(thinks of milk being spilled)"

[ilikiecheese]

thumbs up if you said "'The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma' ~ Patrick Star" on facebook

[maioctagonapusblah]

The flowered table cloth represents everyone's once pure minds and the spilling milk represents everyone's pure minds being corrupted by society. The lowercase i in "MiLK" on the carton represents that people are putting themselves lower than everyone else because everyone has told them that they are nothing. This is what Patrick thinks about. Thanks for this awesome message, Patrick.

[MapIeMania]

@maioctagonapusblah i like this message better than the top comment. but i know you took some parts from it.

[maioctagonapusblah]

@MapIeMania Actually, I didn't even see his comment. When I wrote my comment there was a different top comment. =)

[blooboy4747]

i cried

[HeinousActsZX]

Translation: "My brain is full of fuck."

[sfdskins02]

@ExtremeArcanine1 the joke is very simple. an enigma is something that cannot be understood, and the inner machinations of his mind are actually very simple. see, it isnt as funny when it is explained

[JulianManatee]

@sfdskins02 Yeah, the joke is that he acts like his thoughts are some deep shit but actually it's just milk falling, nothing complex at all. Not sure if the other commenters are joking or serious about Patrick being a genius.

[marioguy424]

Isn't it strange how Patrick is sometimes randomly smart, and then can't remember what he said 2 seconds later?

[Brokenhell13]

I love patrick

[sanjnish25]

wow such philosophical thinking by patrick

[littlebeak63BackUpAc]

"The inner machinations of my mine are an enigma." To put it simply, it means his mind is difficult to understand. Unlike thewarboys54's theory, I have a totally different idea. Perhaps the flowers on the table represent his mind itself. Each flower representing the different thought he has. The flowers being a variety, shows that he has many different opinions and perspectives on life. Now take the milk for an example. Remember that saying? "Don't cry over spilt milk."

[littlebeak63BackUpAc]

@littlebeak63BackUpAc (Part 2) The milk may represent an event that has taken place in his life. It has soiled some of the perspectives he had on life. His mind, what used to be like everybody elses', is now completely warped by this particular event. Now noone can understand Patrick's mind, indeed making the inner machinations of his mind an enigma.

[epicfailnou]

@littlebeak63BackUpAc

That's some deep shit.

[MapIeMania]

@littlebeak63BackUpAc nevermind, i think this is my favorite meaning.

[BlEaDmAsT3R]

Best quote ever XD

[bestshowontheweb]

2001 Patrick: Incredibly wise and full of life experience

2011 Patrick: A dangerous and mentally challenged individual.

[KenWACKS]

this video was stolen from scary989....

[JulianManatee]

@KenWACKS Nope. I ripped it myself from the original episode. This line has stuck with me since I was a kid.

[xSilentxxShotxx]

This is what the milk spilling represents:The table cloth represents a good, pure soul, such as Patrick star. The intricate floral patterns are a representation of the dynamic thoughts that are constantly going through Patrick's head. It's beautiful, his mind is perfect. Then the milk comes along. Or should I say, society. The "i" in milk is not capitalized, representing corruption in society, as it is poured all over our youth corrupting them Thank you Patrick for this beautiful metaphor

[TheOfficialBoonstra]

@xSilentxxShotxx I just thought it was stupid

[SkrullinDas123]

@xSilentxxShotxx more like "spoiled" his soul with milk

[Sovember]

@xSilentxxShotxx That comment has been copied and pasted since the beginning of time.

It was a joke to begin with, there's no deep metaphor embedded within this scene, it's just Hillenburg being random as always.

My god what kids will do for thumbs up.

[xSilentxxShotxx]

@Sovember so...

[Sovember]

@xSilentxxShotxx So nothing, I hope you learned your lesson.

[Dragonpsychologist]

@xSilentxxShotxx Or you are thinking way to hard.

[ib2raw06]

@xSilentxxShotxx lol that's awesome. 

[Detraxti]

@xSilentxxShotxx mind-blown man!

[The1HappyEmo]

@xSilentxxShotxx LMFAO.

[UnhealingMedic]

@xSilentxxShotxx The inner machinations of your mind are an enigma.

[themightydumbass]

@xSilentxxShotxx YOU JUST WENT HAM

[Vanagew1]

@xSilentxxShotxx I'm afraid you're thinking this through a little too much as Patrick is an idiot.

[gottahurttolearn]

@xSilentxxShotxx That our he has to buy more milk.

[maiboi92]

The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma= The inner workings of my mind are a riddle.

[coreyj555]

his mind is amazing... the milk falling represented the downfall of the worlds economy thus spilling itself all over the universe (table representing the universe) in 2147 hes a fucking genius milk meaning we will eventually go sour after being out.... what a though

[kindertech360]

@coreyj555 you sound like an English teacher xD

[thewarboys54]

This is what the milk spilling represents:

The table cloth represents a good, pure soul, such as Patrick star. The intricate floral patterns are a representation of the dynamic thoughts that are constantly going through Patrick's head. It's beautiful, his mind is perfect. Then the milk comes along. Or should I say, society.

Thank you Patrick for this beautiful metaphor

[specklednoodle99]

@thewarboys54 I.. I...You just.. well done.

[havark11]

@thewarboys54 You sir, deserve a cupcake :D

[isaac5671]

@thewarboys54 you son of a bitch you stole that from youtrollbe

[WaffleSandwichMan]

What does that even mean

[lilcashbash]

@WaffleSandwichMan well machinations means plot and enigma is a riddle or a language or something like that

[PetrosSiamendes]

@WaffleSandwichMan It's Mysterious and unknown to everyone how his mind works. Even to himself.

tl;dr No one understands him.

Is it bad that I sometimes have thoughts like those ?

[LeFT4DeAd2RoOkS]

I still dont get it

[ALLIDOISCOMENT]

@LeFT4DeAd2RoOkS it means his mind is a swirling ball of confusion

[WinVisten]

[monstaslaya]

I love how shows like this are aimed at lil kids, yet a lot of the humor is actually aimed at older people.

[VanillaLovesTacos]

@monstaslaya That's why you can't make fun of adults for watching Spongebob. xD

[TeamGamer21]

i started living by that after toonami went off the air

[KierstenAndBella]

I've read Jurassic Park far too many times......

[bizee01]

can someone explain this to me? I'm too illiterate to understand

[SaturnVII]

@bizee01 The inner workings of his mind are a complex puzzle.

[EPiQUE48]

I dropped the milk carton when trying to make strawberry milk, and had to clean up all the spilled milk off the floor. I ended up getting the strawberry milk, though. It was worth it.

[TheArases]

6 people couldn't understand the enigma of Patric's inner maquinations of his mind.

[MrPrincessMolestia]

the milk carton represents your consciousness, the milk that spills out is your innocence, the invisible force that acts on the carton and causes the milk to spill is the childhood we hold to ourselves fade away as we realize the reality that is our world

[Andruchon246]

[Pacquiaofan1997]

whats an enigma???

[alladinmoua]

@Pacquiaofan1997

Enigma is a another way of calling something a "mystery".

[PLAYNICKKID]

im going to use the word Machinations in my English test tomorrow :D

[lolly122540]

This sums up my life...

[WebVManReturns]

The inner mechaniations of his mind are Edward Nigma? The Riddler? Patrick's alter ego is the Riddler?

[PregnantChipmunk]

@WebVManReturns Im not sure if youre trying to be funny or too stupid to realize Edward Nigma ( E. Nigma) is a pun on the word Enigma which means mystery.

[daniel3231995]

The wise words of Sir Patrick Star...One can not possible imagine what goes on in that genius mind of his.

[chidibabymiki1]

i has no idea wat that means....

[MrMehnumbers]

Basically, what goes on in his head confuses others. that's the reason for the milk.

Seriously, crack a dictionary.
