As a fan of Spongebob, the lost SB episodes really interest me. I only recently found out about AWS, That's what we will call astrology with Squidward. I current know 6/8 of the shorts have been found, only Libra and Virgo have yet to be found. Not even any screen shots. Hopefully we can find these shorts and declare another Lost Media topic "FOUND."
I remember watching it when I was 5. I would like to give out all of the information I remember about the lost episodes.
Virga. As far as I remember Squidward said that "They will ask their parents for some money".
Libra. I actually don't remember anything about it but I still have some small info. On the picture (that is right to Squidward) was Squidward in his intro pose (In the start of any episode)
Scorpio. German Nickelodeon wiki says it exist and I can say IT (probably) EXISTS. I am not sure who was Scorpio, but all I can say IT probably exists.
Hm...wouldn't there be 12 segments for all 12 signs? Considering how popular these were said to be and the fact that we can't even find a couple of the known ones yet, I don't think it's too far out of the realm of possibility unless there's hard evidence against it.
True, I've seen lots of contradictions between who is in which segment, so it's really possible that the Scorpio listing is wrong (and Plankton already appearing in another sign is evidence of this).
However, I wonder if only the character listing was wrong, but the fact that Scorpio exists is correct. Because I'm still not convinced there aren't 12 segments (and we just haven't found them yet), and Sandy and Gary being absent from these segments is constantly addressed, but I wonder if that's more proof as to why there could be more.
Some info about 2 lost shorts! Here in Russia they were airing till 2012! But sadly I cant find footage. Im gonna tell what I definetly remember about those 2. Virgo: I remember only one phrase: "They will most likely ask you for money". Libra: The picture of squidward in this episode is his intro pose. I dont think that others (Capricorn, Scorpio etc) exist.
While I was never too interested in these shorts, I am curious about a couple things after thinking about them.
One, is do we actually have any proof Virgo and Libra exist? I see tons of "claims" that they exist, but no actual proof (almost like JBVO DBZ but to a lesser extent). So either I missed something or we actually don't have hard evidence.
And second, what's the current consensus on the other Signs? I see the old disputes about Plankton being Scorpio from the German Wiki or whatever, but is saying the other signs don't exist at all jumping the gun a little?
Would the "missing" astrology signs as shorts be considered Existence Unconfirmed now? Someone updated the article to point out that the earliest claims for Libra and Virgo's existence are anonymously sourced from Wikipedia (likely due to LSSQ/Radiant's recent video on the subject), so it might be appropriate to officially classify it as such.
If the Virgo and Libra shorts are proven to not exist, then every other short in English would be considered found by now. It doesn't help that Squidward's voice actor Rodger Bumpass claims to not remember anything about these shorts and the claims for more shorts that are alleged to be "missing" have no actual proof or evidence that they existed in the first place.
I would say this is a weird case of people claiming to remember seeing more shorts than the six that do exist (i.e. Cancer, Taurus, Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius and Leo).
Despite the frustrations of normal day life we go through, the best thing to do about it is still being happy for our friends and family.

I found this article which talks about pseudo-sets, and uh, well, I'll just give a quote from it: "...people are irrationally but effectively motivated by the idea of completing a set, even if it means working harder or spending more money—with no additional reward other than the satisfaction of completion and the relief of avoiding an incomplete set. Imagine arriving at your boss’s summer BBQ and presenting her with five beers in a box designed to hold six. No matter that your favorite craft beer store permits you buy bottles one at a time. Chances are you’d still buy six, just to fill all six spaces in the box." ("People Have an Irrational Need to Complete 'Sets' of Things" by Carmen Nobel)
People maybe concluding that because these six exist, and because their are twelve astrology signs, their must be more, otherwise it's an "incomplete set" (see article linked?).
With that being said, their are some who gave some more elaborate details on the shorts, as seen in this forum thread. These don't sound made up, and it's possible that the shorts do exist, just haven't shown up yet. At this point I could point to the many examples of lost media, on this site in particular, that went missing for long points of time, up to decades. Then these things were found or appeared again, so... maybe this is going to be a case of that?

There is, however, the possibility of the Mandela Effect, which also entails having elaborate details. Yes, Cracks and Clockman both ended up existing, but I'd argue that these are different circumstances. We have the six shorts, and they were found within a relatively short period of time of each other, while we have no reliable trace of any other signs. While yes, this isn't proof, it's still interesting to note the circumstances. I will say that it is weird if there were only six shorts, since it really seems like the sort of project that'd be all or nothing.
Well, wikis can be edited by anyone, so the supposed Scorpio short might not exist.
yes because do you remember when we tried to find the spongebob games the burger mess and the burger mess 2 and those turned out just to be fake edits on the spongebob wiki.
