Gozer vs. Spongebob Parody — Description
[SPOILER WARNING!]
Oh my god, this was Soooo Funny!
okay..Okay, allow me to explain this funny scene from Ghostbusters.
(ahem..)

This comic panel was taken from a receantly released
Ghostbusters comic book by IDW entitled: "Ghostbusters: Deviation"
with is an Elseworld's story telling what might've happened
if the Ghostbusters HADN'T crossed the streams at the end of the first film.
(Spoilers: Manhattan Island literally goes to hell.)

Anyway, Gozer (as Stay Puft) reigns supreme,
and everyone HATES the Ghostbusters for being colossal failures.

However, as it turns out, GOZER doesn't like it's predicament, either.
as (no small wonder) It HATES the form Ray chose, and wants to undo everything.
(yep. even being a total warlord over all of humanity isn't worth it
IF said warlord has to remain a "Marshmallow Man" for all eternity.)

The Ghostbusters ultimately decide that Time Travel is the best solution,
and enlist the help of a Time Ghost to aid them in this endeavor.
HOWEVER..the Ghostbusters don't trust Gozer (Understandable)
and, devise a backup plan. Juuust in case Gozer plans on choosing
a new, more lethal Destructor form, rather than just return home as agreed.

So, NOW, we come to the point of the gag above.
Peter presents their ultimatum against Gozer: IF it doublecrossed them,
then they will choose a Destructor Form "EVEN WORSE" than the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
the scene goes as followed:

Gozer: "MY GOD. WHAT IS THAT?"

Peter Venkman: "It's called "Loofajoe Rectangleshorts."

Gozer: "RECTANGLESHORTS?"

Peter Venkman: "All that YOU need to know is that it's Adorable, and Ridiculous."

Winston Zeddemore: "And, you'll be trapped in it FOREVER."

So, anyway. Gozer tries to brush this threat off.
as it knows that time travel doesn't work that way.
what Gozer DIDN'T know, was that the Ghostbusters ALREADY went back in time
without Gozer's knowledge, and..Well, see the image above.

Okay, now..You've got to admit: This is Flipping HILARIOUS!
the Ghostbusters tricked Gozer with the threat of having it
turn into a satire of SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS if it doesn't return to it's own dimension.
and, guess what? (Spoiler Alert!) It WORKED!
Gozer forfeited the whole fight, and returned to it's own dimension.
because, hey. even for an Inter-dimensional
Demonic Demigod..you have to draw a limit SOMEWHERE.
and, well..that limit was "Spongebob"
(which i can understand, I mean. who WOULD want to spend eternity
trapped as a giant Spongebob Parody?! that sounds like a true Living Hell, if you ask me.)

Anyone who can't stand Spongebob, and loves Ghostbusters
will agree that THIS was the best scene ever.
