on July 25th 2005 the scariest thing to ever happen on Nickelodeon occurred when an episode of SpongeBob was hijacked the title sequence of the episode was called help and at first everything seemed normal besides the fact that there was a scene where SpongeBob falls down and begins glitching out and making weird [Music] noises then a weird red substance begins to appear on Spongebob's face while the music Loops over and over for the next few [Music] minutes then things get really creepy when the episode cuts to SpongeBob on a black screen with his eyes edited out the episode then cuts to Gary sitting at SpongeBob's house and plays the same scene before transitioning to this horrifying picture of SpongeBob with ominous music playing in the back the screen cuts to Black and then this creepy message started playing on the screen but this wasn't the only time that SpongeBob was hijacked because the same thing happened in 2009 where someone managed to allegedly infiltrate the network and change the animation on SpongeBob to give him an evil look before using the same creepy picture of him smiling at the TV but none of that compares to what happened on Max and Ruby at first the episode seemed to be going normally but when Ruby calls out for her brother Max the scene freezes and cuts to Black for a quick second before showing Max without his face and this creepy music playing in the back wait Max the hijacker then edited two dark circles onto Max's face before showing a faceless Max and Ruby standing next to a grave with the screen being the blood red color the next clip shows Ruby staring out of a window directly into the screen with the same dark circles on her face but the scariest part is when the words rip brother flashes on the screen multiple times for a quick second before cutting to what looks like Max reaching out for help then the following words play on the screen saying death is our only release before the episode returns to normal as if nothing happened for Max string
