Tom Kenny (the voice of SpongeBob) and Bill Fagerbakke (the voice of Patrick) sit down to discuss the origins of the ghostly pirate, The Flying Dutchman. They share their favorite memories of the character and praise the actors who have brought him to life.
Transcript
00:00I was really curious about the first time you guys remember a Flying Dutchman being in Spongebob.
00:07Oh, yeah. Oh, good question.
00:09Wow.
00:10Is that the episode?
00:11You're good.
00:11Can I Google this? Can I Google this and get back to you?
00:14No, the one that, because, you know, there's no real continuity in Spongebob, so you just kind of.
00:19It's the, you're good, you're good.
00:20The one I remember is the perfume counter one.
00:24Yeah, yeah.
00:25What is the name of that one?
00:27Oh, yeah, who knows?
00:27But that was a little, little, little. It was that episode, I think.
00:31Yeah, I think so, too, where they have to get past the perfume, the live-action perfume counter.
00:36Is that the first one?
00:37Because they also tape them out of order and show them out of order.
00:41But I know that, like, Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of Spongebob, was always, he's very into nautical stuff, pirate stuff,
00:51pirate lore.
00:52Yeah, the lore.
00:53So things like, you know, things like this cursed ghost pirate was an idea that Steve had very early on.
01:02And, you know, Brian Doyle-Murray was such a great, and is such a great, just kills it.
01:09Yeah, you get, unless you have that voice naturally, you can't do it.
01:12And then Mark is the movie Dutchman for this one.
01:16But I just recorded Brian Doyle-Murray yesterday, or directed him, I should say, for the TV show.
01:22So we have our two Dutchmans, Cinematic Universe Dutchman and TV Universe Dutchman.
01:26And, yeah, I just love, I just think that Dutchman is so funny.
01:31Like, it's always funny to me when characters who act like they're all powerful, and then they can be irritated
01:38by these two little goobers.
01:41Will you be quiet?
01:42I'm trying to be a scary ghost.
01:45And, you know, they're too dumb.
01:48Patrick and Spongebob are too naive to be scared, which drives him crazy.
01:52So, yeah, I love the Dutchman, and he really gets a nice character showcase in this film.
01:57It was a great surprise the first time I saw the look, what he looked like, you know, really in
02:02what color in that.
02:03That special color green.
02:04Spectral green.
