46. "Too bad SpongeBob is missing out on all the fun!" I Had an Accident, 94 points 8 out of 44 lists (Highest Rank #2 @Steel Sponge) (NEW) After a year where this episode did not make it on the list, it comes back on. Over time, this is an episode that, for whatever reason or another, has been on and off the top 50 since 2013. Generally speaking, I feel like universally "enjoyed" pre-movie episodes have that sense of fragility on the list to them, where unless it's a super well-established one, it's kind of a crapshoot whether they make it on the list this time around or not. I Had an Accident was lucky enough to get just enough support to make it on. I don't think very many would dispute this being one of the strangest episodes to be created in the pre-movie realm, but it makes for a super fun watch. Somehow, the writers managed to pull off a plot about SpongeBob being a shut-in and making the episode on the most surreal and hyperactive the show has had by that point.   45. "If this works, I'll take back what I said about you two being lame." Mid-Life Crustacean, 95 points 9 out of 44 lists (Highest Rank #5 @chio) (-9) This episode was off the top 50 for quite a while until 2018 when it leaped up to near the middle of the list. At the time, I merely liked the episode, but by the time I saw it as an all-time favorite and put it high on my list, it takes a pretty bad fall. Go figure. As you can see by the highest rank being relatively low, this is one of those episodes that's generally love a fair amount by a lot of people rather than being loved intensely by a few. Maybe part of my love episode is having that mild feeling of getting old and not being a child anymore (although in many respects I still feel like one), but I think the most important part of it (and what makes it top ten-worthy for me) is that it's one of the funniest episodes of the show while remaining completely relatable. Some of the show's episodes perceived as the funniest like Chocolate With Nuts and Shanghaied don't have much grounding in reality. Those episodes are hilarious thanks to the gags and cartoonish running jokes that accompany them. Meanwhile, this episode just feels like a hard dose of reality throughout, and it makes for one of the few episodes that can still manage to make me laugh.

You know what show I really, really love in spite of what many think of it? Drawn Together. I first heard of the series when I was 14, long after it was cancelled and a few years after its movie was released, and of course, I'd only truly known of it through Wooldoor Sockbat and Princess Clara, two of the show's major characters which parody SpongeBob and Disney Princesses respectively. It's a wild show with so much wrong with it, but that stuff made it all the more hilarious. It's more of a show you watch for the hell of it and as long as you don't take it seriously (it surely doesn't want you to; this thing has no sense of ethics or morality whatsoever XD) you'll be in for one heck of a ride. So back in 2015, I drew some of the DT gang quite a bit, and often in crossovers. So since I've been watching some of the series online again (I need to get the DVDs; I do have a Region 1-compatible DVD player at home), I decided to get back into drawing the characters. Here we have Wooldoor meeting his original counterpart, echoing back to something similar I drew back in 2015, but y'know...better. Also, the background is inspired by the confessional room in the show; it does change color depending on the character I believe, but I know this green, camo-colored one (the default?) is one Wooldoor notably uses.

Lol wtf rock has been around for 12 seasons and suddenly it's a sea turtle. Uhhh weird.

I love the shading on the Buisel and Oshawott drawings, and the backgrounds are really cool, too!

Disney company was built on the foundation of Mickey Mouse which Walt Disney had reign and freedom and he handed the mouse to others. If he didn't want Mickey Mouse to be used by others, he would have just shut down the company. Nick was never built on SpongeBob and Hillenburg was just a show creator and nothing more. Nick did this without his approval to do whatever they can with SpongeBob. You are right that SpongeBob would have continued regardless without him but at least it would be just one damn show, not a damn prequel spin-off and 11 more spin-off they wanna do because apparently SpongeBob is their own Marvel universe.
