Ever since season 5 they used tablets

Yeah. I also think the show's animation stopped becoming interesting in season 5.

I didn't notice that. Is that something they're doing consistently?

Yes it is, ever since Lost in Bikini Bottom, the top of spongebob's head has been yellow instead of green.

Are they trying to make it like very early season 1 episodes or something? Because the top of his head was yellow in very very early episodes.

It doesn't look right in modern spongebob, and the top of his head is yellow in early season 1, minus Reef Blower, since that episode was produced much later in the season.

We should mention that Sandy never had a tail in season 1, as well as her badge being 3 dots instead of an acorn

A majority of season 3 episodes were produced in 2001. Season 3 ended production in Summer 2002. So 2001 is the prime year of markerbob.

notice how this spongebob short looks like it was from late season 4, i think it was made during season 4

What I find weird is that Spongebob's arms move freely as opposed to being connected to his body

The animation in the night time scenes in The Lost Mattress look exactly like season 3:

The entire episode of The Lost Mattress looks like Season 3 to me.

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

The entire episode of The Lost Mattress looks like Season 3 to me.

The only difference is that spongebob is a pale shade of yellow, in season 3 he's dark yellow. Krabs vs. Plankton also looks like a season 3 episode.

I'm starting the think that the first few episodes of season 4 were animated with Toonz Premium, however there's no markerbob
