I don't know why but it sort of looks like a fusion between Noodlebob and Markerbob, like Welcome To The Chumbucket (which is frankendoodle's sister episode coincidentally)
I think is because i'm used to draw Markerbob, this is my first time drawing Noodlebob

Fankendoodle only had normal animation for a few seconds during the scene when Plankton was moving the grill.

Did you mean only "Full On"? because that's not true

Yeah. Early and Transit had a few palebob episodes, but pairing 40 has the only palebob episodes that are in the full on stage. SpongeGaurd on Duty and My Pretty Seahorse are somewhere in the middle, they’re not pale but they’re not as vibrant as the rest of season 3.
 
Green screen error in "Just One Bite"

and a few episodes after Butt-Dial, the last Regular Show episode with fluid animation was Trash Boat

Actually, Trash Boat had season 2 artwork but it was still incredibly stiff like the rest of post Butt Dial.

Gut Model was the opposite, it had post Butt Dial designs and art but was fluent like season 2.
 
Hello. This is my first message on this thread, so sorry if I may have cut someone off.

On the topic of art style analysis, I made a little video about the times SpongeBob used digital animation during its cel animated season.

Ripped Pants used a few digital assistance sequences. I think it's when the curtain falls down when the song is about to start, when the whale comes in on the drums, some flashing lights, a blue screen (green screen, but they used a blue bg) for the background waves of the song, as well as for when they overlay the characters, and some other bits that are less important.

One or two of these might be wrong, but I'm PRETTY sure that's all.

Great video though!

I think they also used some digital editing in Sandy’s Rocket when the rocket was flying out of the water and onto the surface of the moon. Unless they pasted the cels on to actual photos of the moon and bikini atoll.
 
Chocolate Milk was a Noodlebob short that promoted Shanghaied, yet Gary takes a bath was also produced during the same time, so maybe they made that short to make up for the shorter run time for Gary Takes A Bath
