# A ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ version of ‘1917’ exists and it is glorious

Ah the Internet, that endless source of entertainment and distraction — practically overflowing with goofy shit that's sure to help you forget that you still have a few hours left at work.

Want to see a super squad of American political figures decked out like operators? Here you go. Want to watch a soldier sing a belligerent rendition of *The Big Rock Candy Mountain,* aptly titled *DD214 Mountain*? [It's got that too](<https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/esv9z0/dd214_song/?%2524deep_link=true&correlation_id=d37580dc-ae15-46bb-84e3-d67bf1f258c3&ref=email_digest&ref_campaign=email_digest&ref_source=email&utm_content=post_title&utm_medium=digest&utm_name=top_posts&utm_source=email&utm_term=day&%25243p=e_as&%2524original_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.reddit.com%252Fr%252Farmy%252Fcomments%252Fesv9z0%252Fdd214_song%252F%253F%2524deep_link%253Dtrue%2526correlation_id%253Dd37580dc-ae15-46bb-84e3-d67bf1f258c3%2526ref%253Demail_digest%2526ref_campaign%253Demail_digest%2526ref_source%253Demail%2526utm_content%253Dpost_title%2526utm_medium%253Ddigest%2526utm_name%253Dtop_posts%2526utm_source%253Demail%2526utm_term%253Dday&_branch_match_id=648861697878662280>). All you have to do is ask, and the internet will provide.

So it's no surprise that someone painstakingly cut scenes from *SpongeBob SquarePants* and set it to Sam Mendes' World War I drama, *1917,* and even went so far as to match all the dialogue to the beloved children's cartoon.

The video is pulled from trailer for the visually stunning epic set on the Western Front. It was created by the YouTube channel [Carnage-Boy](<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTUOrR6Xtn2Q0ZomMqUtxzg/videos>), and posted to [Reddit](<https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/ew93rg/ive_certainly_spent_too_much_time_on_this_but/>) by an account with the same name.

Without further ado, here's *1917: The SpongeBob SquarePants* version, which really ought to be renamed as *SpongeBob 1917: The Great Krabby Patty Burger War.*

Enjoy, and thank you, Internet gods, for all that you provide.
