, as I don’t remember it being from the splitscreen credits
Wait, so you think it was on a showing with the regular credits? Then I don’t think it could have been Nickelodeon you saw it on, since they stopped using regular credits in lieu of splitscreen ones way back in early 2000, less than a year after SpongeBob premiered. So you probably saw it on the Nicktoons channel or something.
Nope, I’m familiar with the cow version as well and the foghorn version I remember was definitely different.
And I’m assuming it wasn’t something from the splitscreen credits continuing over it, either.
I’m wondering if the person who originally wrote the comment was mistaken about it being from the early versions of the splitscreen credits, since we know for sure it was aired around 2006. So far I’ve looked through breaks from 2000-2001, and nothing.
What’s interesting is that the original note on the CLG wiki was that early split-screen credits used it, implying that the usual waves crashing/seagulls hadn’t been realized yet.
I’ve looked through tons of commercial breaks and pretty much all of the ones from 2000-01 feature the end theme playing over the logo. The typical waves/seagulls one didn’t seem to debut until early 2002, maybe late 2001. So I assume the foghorn version was an early version of it.
When you saw the foghorn logo, was the closing theme version the only one you were familiar with?
I was familiar with the closing theme version and the waves/seagulls version. My memory could be wrong, but I feel like I saw the foghorn version in the mid-2000’s. Maybe it was kept around and was only used very rarely? Someone in an earlier post mentioned how Nickelodeon was known for airing occasional oddities like this, so it could be possible.
Why would something have been edited out? It seems odd.
Possibly the bootlegger trying to hide the fact that it was recorded in a cinema.
Hmm. Either way, contacting them seems like the best starting point. Either that or maybe looking for other theater bootlegs from around the same time. (Or possibly from the same cinema if we can determine which one this was from, but that’s pretty unlikely.)
From a bootleg VHS of "The Cat in the Hat", a brief second of this... bumper or something... can be seen just before the Universal logo. It depicts an audience viewing a picture of the Eiffel Tower with the brief sound of a phone ringing (which one of the comments says could be a "turn off your cell phone" policy, either that or maybe a feature presentation bumper). Does anyone know where this came from and where the full version can be found?

GBH apparently doesn’t even have the rights to release ZOOM at the moment, so unless VHS recordings of all 25 missing episodes are found, we might have hit a wall with this one.

Interesting. I assumed it was very similar to the crashing seagulls, with just a forhorn in the distance.
You know, now that you mention it, the waves crashing/seagulls could have been in there also. I just clearly remember hearing the foghorn and thinking to myself “huh that’s different.”

Just an FYI, there’s a fake recreation of it going around where someone just layered the alarm clock foghorn overtop the regular logo. You can tell it’s fake as the audio just clips in and interrupts the music which would finish over the logo on early episodes.
Please don’t believe it’s the real deal cause it’s not, it’s just someone trying to interrupt the search and cash in on it similar to what happened with the lost TAT logo. youtu.be/H9HesFthId8
I found that the other day and wow, that recreation is brutal, nothing like what I “remember” (the foghorn noise being rather distant and accompanied by the waves crashing).
I distinctly remember this, and I recall it being so jarring because it wasn’t the usual sounds of either the ending theme or waves crashing/seagulls. If memory serves me right, the foghorn sounded like it could’ve been the same sound effect that was occasionally used in the show.
