You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Squid Noir'''" is the first half of the ninth episode of the [[SpongeBob SquarePants (season 11)|eleventh season]] and the 224th overall episode of the American animated television series ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. The episode originally aired on [[Nickelodeon]] in the United States on November 10, 2017. This episode aired as part of a premiere week of new SpongeBob episodes called "You Bring the Color". During the premiere week, users could color in frames from the ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' theme song online and had a chance for them to be used in the opening sequence. The original American airing of "Squid Noir" featured each frame of the last minute of the episode also colored by viewers.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztn1BTKypgU&index=53|title=SpongeBob You Bring the Color: The Final Minute of "Squid Noir" with Colorful Creations - YouTube|website=www.youtube.com))</ref> The episode revolves around [[Squidward Tentacles|Squidward]]'s clarinet suddenly disappearing prior to his [[open mic]] performance.

The episode was written by Andrew Goodman, storyboarded by John Trabbic, and directed by Dave Cunningham, with [[Alan Smart]] and [[Tom Yasumi]] serving as animation directors. The episode is unique to the series as the majority of the episode is in black and white and [[Fullscreen (aspect ratio)|1.33:1 full screen]], parodying the [[film noir]] genre. "Squid Noir" was met with acclaim from critics.

==Plot summary==
[[Squidward Tentacles|Squidward]] plays his clarinet in the [[Krusty Krab]] as preparation for an [[open mic night]], to the annoyance of the customers. When [[Mr. Krabs]] kicks him out, he goes to a comic book store and begins practicing again. His poor playing causes [[Bubble Bass]] to drop his action figure in surprise, breaking it, and he threatens to break Squidward's clarinet. Frustrated, Squidward goes home and practices, causing [[Patrick Star|Patrick]] to throw a rock at him.

The day before his recital, Squidward puts his clarinet down and takes a nap. He returns to find his window broken and [[Fruit preserves|jelly]] near where his clarinet was. Squidward begins viewing the world in monochrome and narrates his search for the clarinet. He accuses SpongeBob of taking it, who proves his innocence by showing that he was visiting his grandmother's house at the time.

Now joined by SpongeBob in his search, Squidward goes to Mr. Krabs to do a "[[Good cop/bad cop|good cop, bad cop]]" routine. Mr. Krabs shows that he had been counting his money all day and was not near Squidward's house. At the comic book store with Squidward, SpongeBob finds Bubble Bass and battles him with an action figure. After the fight, Bubble Bass's action figure breaks and he begins crying, as Squidward concludes that the comic book store was a dead end. Back at Squidward's house, SpongeBob and Squidward find Patrick, who shows them the [[jellyfish]] jelly. The three go to Jellyfish Fields, where Squidward recovers his clarinet from a jellyfish, restoring color and ending his narration. That night, Squidward plays in a jazz club for the jellyfish, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs. Although, the three are shown with their ears covered.

John Schwartz of Bubble Blabber gave the episode a score of 6 out of 10, praising its colors and black and white "noir" look, while criticizing its premise, feeling it was too clichéd, and its "pretty plain jane" dialogue.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.bubbleblabber.com/review-spongebob-squarepants-squid-noir|title=Review: Spongebob Squarepants "Squid Noir"|date=November 11, 2017 ))</ref> Blake Harper of [[Fatherly]] included the episode in his list of "The 10 Best Kids Television Episodes of the Last 10 Years", calling the episode "a hilarious tribute to the classic noir genre" and writing "It's episodes like these that prove the show is every bit as dumb and brilliant as you remember."<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.fatherly.com/play/best-kids-tv-episodes-decade-2019/|title=The 10 Best Kids Television Episodes of the Last 10 Years|last=Harper|first=Blaker|date=December 19, 2019|website=[[Fatherly]]|access-date=May 21, 2020|archive-date=November 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201115043928/https://www.fatherly.com/play/best-kids-tv-episodes-decade-2019/|url-status=dead))</ref>
