That Toenail Scene...

Smaher · Apr 24, 2014

You know which one I'm talking about.

So apparently that grotesque scene was created by none other that Dani Michaeli, not Aaron Springer.

Some may find this disturbing.

When I saw that scene for the very first time, it even made me cringe and I thought I had seen a lot of gross out humor and gore before. Not that the episode itself was bad or anything but still.

It made me cringe ages ago, now the repeated comments about how awful it was cringe me more. :p

Squidina · Apr 24, 2014

Hmmm... well, for me, that scene didn't especially bother me. I understand why people cringe over it, no problem there; just, to me, that scene is so short and the rest of the episode is so great. 'House Fancy' is one of my fave episodes.

I agree 9709780% with the above two

This guy is my hero! :p

I actually never cringed at this, which is odd considering I don't like gross-out humour :P

Everyone just seem to ignore what he said- HE SAW IT HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE.

I guess that's why post-movie writers are so weird. They're traumatized.

I know it can happen to anything with a toenail, I definitely wouldn't argue there. The only thing I said is that it didn't bother me and I love the episode. ;)

I really hope Dani was making a tongue in cheek comment there. That is messed up if he really saw that for himself.

Patrick-Man! · Apr 24, 2014

am i the only one who found it funny? i mean not "OH EM GEE AHAHA" more like "HA thats gross and funny."

RedSoxFan274 · Apr 24, 2014

Wow, Dani...

why'd you admit to creating that atrocity?

Does he know what he just got himself into? If I were him, I would've said, "Nope, Aaron's idea, all Aaron." Who would voluntarily take credit for one of the most reviled scenes in the show's history?

I think he wanted everyone to know its horrible origin.

At least he was honest about it. I'm really curious as to how the censors let this slide in the first place.

The Real Nostalgia Critic · Apr 24, 2014

You know, I hate to admit this, but I don't have a problem anymore with that scene now that Dani Micheali explained it. I mean, that scene may by gruesome, but there's another scene in Season 6 that's far worse. In fact, the episode that scene is in is a lot, lot worse than the toenail scene. The episode I am talking about is.......the Splinter.

PatStar2000 · Apr 24, 2014

I don't think it meets the needs of the story, Dani. :P Anyway, it's not gross to me at all, just pointless. I still kind of like the episode, not as much as I used to. Really, the people that hate the episode with a deep and burning passion because of a cartoon toenail falling off just motivates me to like it more.

Popeyes Haunted Barnacles · Apr 24, 2014

I didn't even know that Squidward had toenails at all underneath those soft looking tentacles.

Mantis · Apr 24, 2014

I'm just glad Aaron Springer didn't make that scene. So now everyone needs to stop blaming him.

SpongeyKid · Apr 24, 2014

I myself liked the episode and that scene does not bother me. I also think that if you dislike an episode for 1 little scene, that's not very fair.

Of course, if it was a scene with dead bodies and blood all over the place then that's something else but a toenail? Seriously?

All that needs to be said about this.
