Have you noticed how ancient Pranks A Lot looks compared to Fear of a Krabby Patty

I mean, look at that!

Also, I think the scenes in The Lost Mattress that take place in the dump look markerbob

Everything has colored lines. Sure, this is thin lines, but still. We could call this Dumpbob, Shellbob, or my personal favorite, Norkerbob.

That’s because Pranks a Lot is the last markerbob episode and the last episode to be colored using Toonz Premuim. I think the night time scenes in The Lost Matress look like season 3 normal animation not markerbob.

Maybe we could have this Norkerbob since everything has colored lines but they are thin.
 
Reef Blower has the same animation as Help Wanted

No, Reef Blower was produced way into the season. You can tell it's different because the lines are more consistent, SpongeBob design is blockier and top of his head is green unlike most early episodes.

Reef Blower was produced around the time the theme song was being animated.
 
Yet another ClassicBlue similarity this one was from my favorite blues clues episode Playdates

Anyone else than me think that Slippery Soap from Blues Clues always looks like a combo of NewBlue and NeonBlue?

Mickey's face here looks similar to that of a character from Fish Hooks. And William Reiss, the director of the episode with this scene, is also a developer on Fish Hooks.
 
Sidetable Drawer was the character who changed the most in Blues Clues and you! Her NewTable design feature rounded edges the platform is also a square the platform also features a more wood like look i'd personally prefer the old design (CrayonTable)

Steven Universe Season 1 has pretty poor animation quality, especially by 2013 standards. The animation did get better in late 2014 though.
