YES! Exactly! Well, I don’t know if they’re making a nod to Hillenburg Spongebob, but that part was better than the felt thought bubble of Pinkie from “A Friend in Deed”.

This stock footage (at least the alligator; the chicken might have been shot by DHX crew) comes from somewhere on this page, but I haven’t found it yet: http://www.pond5.com/stock-video-footage/1/baby-alligator.html

Post Spongebob is all about gross-out humor and torturing Squidward, so no.

@Dashole  
Pre. Haven’t seen much post, so IDK if they have much random realism there.

@SpiritOfChaos  
Pre-Movie or Post?

This show just went Spongebob on us.

I would say that the humour in this is like Chowder but the transition is a bit too smooth.
