Got a reply to that reply I sent. No video crew pointed to, but some interesting points summarized below:
Tony said that all the content they showed comes from DVDs that are pre-YT (so the clips must be before 2005), and no Spongebob content was commissioned exclusively for the RoughRiders. He believes the clip comes from an episode or a DVD extra in the first four seasons of Spongebob/Spongebob content on DVD pre-2005 (includes the 2004 Spongebob movie). He also remembers clips from this DVD (https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Nautical_Nonsense_and_Sponge_Buddies) were pulled for content since it had Texas themed soundbites.
Ok, from this and the other emails, there are multiple things we can tackle:
- Finding video crew in 2005 (since now that we know that the RoughRiders Spongebob collaboration spans back to 2005, it is more likely to be real now) and asking them about this short using the extra info we now know.
- soupnerd could go through the episodes in the DVD linked above (that wiki article gives a link of episodes) to see if any of the clips match their memory
- Finding a clip of the RoughRiders speech being presented live in a game (Seeing if that speech matches OP's memory).
Things are getting interesting now (appreciate zunaka for bringing some good leads). Will edit if I find anything more (and this comment is still recent)
EDIT: It's worth nothing that the Director of Game Entertainment in 2005 was Marianne Sexton, but I could not find her staff page archived or any contact information online. Another person of interest may be Keri Butler (Events Staff Manager), but no contact information found.
