Season 2 and 3 look more human crafted, while season 4 onward look very computerized
Not really, considering the show started using Wacom tablets in Pest Of The West. Before then they always drew storyboards by hand. In fact Late Season 2 and 3 are more stiff in comparison to Late Season 4’s animation. Season 5 (especially near the end) I will agree with however.

Season 1 has a combination of Palbob and regular yellow Spongebob (with Palbob first appearing in Help Wanted and being utilized in Suds).

Season 8 feels like a combination of Seasons 7 and 9...

No, season 1 was cel animation that's why he was the same shade of yellow in almost every episode.

Season 7 after Legends of Bikini Bottom feels no different than season 8.

When I was little and when I first saw Season 1, I instantly thought that it was from 1999 (without no prior knowledge of it being out at that time).

When I first saw the episode Scaredy Pants/I was a Teenage Gary in 2008, I imminently new it was an old episode based on the sound and animation, despite the fact that I had never seen it before.
