Fighting against 'The Pods' with my good friends '
So, I was watching a few new-ish episodes today, along with the end of Sold! (Sharks V.S. Pods, Two Thumbs Down, CopyBob DittoPants & Mall Girl Pearl) and this thought came to me: the writers seem to enjoy giving Squid a crazy, exaggerated attitude to something to add to an episode: something that was very noticeable in CopyBob DittoPants when he acted really strange and even stamped on his Krusty Krab hat because he was seeing so many SpongeBob copies. Why do you think some writers do this? It can be a lot of fun to watch, but it can also be a little OOC at times if the writing is slightly iffy. It's certainly interesting how they're treating his character now, seeing as he was a rather mature and sensible kind of guy in the earlier seasons, who we only caught doing childish activities and acting random every so often.
 
I've noticed this too. Squidward seems to have become less of a mature connoisseur of the arts. He has instead become a crazy octopus who gets mad at every single little thing. Of course, Squidward has always been irritated by SpongeBob and his antics, but he never went insane like he does sometimes in the newer eps.
 
I think that Squidward has hit the bottom of insanity after Season 4-8. How ironic that SpongeBob reverted (mostly) back to how he was in Seasons 1-3.
 
Phase 1: The Paper/Club SpongeBob (mild visual/auditory halucinations, but still with a normal frame of mind)
Phase 2: The Thing (the feeling of getting tortured by every little thing)
Phase 3: Squid's Visit (Mentally snapping)
Phase 4: Are You Happy Now? (Giving up on who you once were)
Phase 5: Season 9b (Complete loss of individualsm, feelings of godhood and random spasms of excitement)

Squidward's really a mental patient in an underground Russian asylum in the mid-1950s, being experimented on day and night to see the true lack of limits to insanity.
 
TBH, I would rather have the crazy, insane Squidward we're getting currently than the raving mad Squidward in Good Neighbors or the depressed Squidward in Are You Happy Now? He may be out of character, but at least he's funny.
 
Yes, they do it in almost every episode he's in, and it's very irritating. Yes, seasons 1-3 had Squidward going insane in some episodes, but it was moments that actually worked and were funny. Lately they've been making him either too angry or too insane. It just seems very out of character of him to do it. And as a Squidward fanboy, I'd like to see it tone down a bit. It's not funny. It's just very frustrating to see it happening. I'd honestly like to see more cool or normal Squidward moments.

sorry for my broken record-sounding rant :333333333

Nope. I just saw an interesting change in behaviour. :P
 
I've noticed it as well. I don't really mind it, it's funny sometimes, and it's better than him being depressed or extremely angry.
