Honestly, I actually like Choir Boys. The throat clearing gag sucks, but the rest of the episode is genuinely funny. Spongebob drilling a pothole to launch Squidward into jellyfish to force him to listen to Spongebob sing is hilarious. Especially since he also says "What a lucky break, now I have a captive audience" and then "Squidward can you keep it down please?" as he's yelling in pain from being stung by jellyfish, its so fucking funny. Spongejesus is also funny. You Don't Know Sponge was #6 on my list, its so bad. The fact that Patrick, SpongeBob's best friend, can't even remember what Spongebob's shape is, is just absurd. Patrick is dumb, but this just makes him a terrible friend. He even says "It's like we're not friends at all!". Spongebob is rightfully sad about this, and Sandy's response is that this is a good thing, because not knowing your friends makes the relationship interesting??? What???? How does that make any sense whatsoever. Why WOULDN'T you wanna know stuff about your friends? And especially considering Patrick didn't seem to know ANYTHING about SpongeBob at all, this is a really fucking dumb statement. Guess friendships are only good if you don't actually know them! Screw you guys, I already know you guys so the friendship is no longer interesting. I'm switching to the sb wikia instead, I don't know them at all so it's a healthier friendship. Also this episode is boring af, I forgot about all these things back in 2019 and still had it on my bottom 25 just for being boring as hell. I don't remember there being any jokes either, so this episode is just empty except for the really shitty stuff.

Breakfast...even PATRICK knows it's the most important meal of the day!

Actually, "Too Many Patricks" aired earlier today WITH "Tatoo Hullabaloo".

"Choir Boys" is another one of those episodes that's too boring and too pointless to remember from my perspective...and oddly enough, I'm not exactly sure on how I feel about "You Don't Know Sponge". I half don't like it, and I also half don't care about it. Plankton would probably serve it as Chum if he could, but that's probably ALL the episode segment is really GOOD for!

Dessert.

Now let's continue the countdown and start the bottom 10 episodes!!! Are you ready? 10. What a lucky break! Now I have a captive audience! Choir Boys - 165 points 9 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #2, @CakeCup) (-3) Season: 6 Writers: Aaron Springer, Richard Pursel Plot: SpongeBob wants to join the choir that Squidward participates in. This episode dropped 3 places but it didn't leave the bottom 10, which I'm not surprised because a few people here don't hate it as much anymore or even like it while there is still a group that still hates it. Springer's episodes (especially in season 6) tend to have a particular funnibad humor but here it just doesn't hit. We begin with a extremely boring first minutes where SpongeBob is...bored laying on the floor. Then the rest of the episode is StalkerBob that is not even funny. After asking if he can go to the choir with him and getting a negative response he still follows him everywhere, just because he wants to show how he sings and convince him to go with him??? It would have been better if it focused more on SpongeBob practicing for the choir and surprise Squidward there, instead of annoying him with his singing. Apart from "SpongeJesus", this episode has absolutely nothing to praise. 9. You don't need to know everything about your best friend. That's what keeps the friendship interesting! You Don't Know Sponge - 171 points 9 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #1, @ThePickleMan) (+10) Season: 7 Writers: Luke Brookshier, Nate Cash, Derek Iversen Plot: SpongeBob and Patrick take a quiz on each other, which threatens their friendship. Thank god YDKS jumped 10 places because this is legit rock bottom for this show and it absolutely deserves a bottom 10 spot. I have a million questions about this episode but this one of them: Why were they taking that friendship test in the Krusty Krab? Why does everything in S7 have to take place there? Ok let's get to the real shit...Patrick is dumb but NOT to the extent of not even knowing if SpongeBob is a boy or a girl. Of course, he answers all these basic questions wrong and when Squidward sees the results he answers "It's like we're not friends at all?", huh????? When he gets SpongeBob's ice cream flavour wrong and the latter cries he and Lou treat him like he's in the wrong??? This left me out of words about how extremely out of character he was. Also Sandy is pretty useless at helping SpongeBob by telling him the less you know him the more interesting friendship it is, this makes zero sense...and when SB cries again she calls him a cry-baby like he's in the wrong? Wtf is wrong with everyone's characterization? After Patrick shops with Larry for some reason he gives SB Groucho glasses and he answers "you do know me, best friend", I don't think that makes sense at all either after all that happened earlier...

Lunch has the best food like sandwiches

Plankton doing that to Krabs would have been hilarious cuz Plankton's the villain after all

Finally starting to watch "Smiling Friends" from episodes I've recorded on my DVR, I've watched the first three so far. It's looking pretty good so far.

I'm starting to watch this series now. I'm only a few episodes in (I've got the other episodes that have premiered on DVR), but it looks really interesting from what I've seen so far!

I wasn't even AWARE that some OTHER people were NOT hating "One Coarse Meal" as much as they used to; but for me, I cannot understand how ANYONE could HONESTLY defend that episode segment! Mr. Krabs LITERALLY tried to terrorize Plankton to the point where he TRIED to honestly KILL himself! If Plankton ever tried to do THAT to Mr. Krabs, people would be SCREAMING from the top of a freaking mountain on how WRONG that is; so I am NOT going to stand for such hypocrisy, which is why I made it my number two pick! "Someone's In The Kitchen With Sandy", made my list because at number nine...who in their right MIND would make an episode about Sandy being able to remove her fur, have it STOLEN by Plankton (in one of his WORST attempts to steal the Krabby Patty Secret Formula EVER) and Sandy somehow going to jail for running around without her fur, even though that WASN'T even her fault! "Clash Of Triton" made my list at number eight, because a concept that SHOULD'VE revolved around King Neptune's Birthday, instead revolves around King Neptune punishing Triton for liking the surface world; and by the time Spongebob and Patrick find him, he's become SO jaded he goes on a RAMPAGE against the surface world, and neither King Neptune or Triton get punished for their actions by ANYONE! "Are You Happy Now?; The Splinter; Waiting; Face-Freeze"; and "Big Sister Sam" all barely missed making my list; and I'm REALLY surprised "House Sitting For Sandy" made this list, as it's another too boring to really care about episode in my books. As for the other dishonorable mentions, most of them I'm not sure why ANYONE would hate them enough to put them on their lists. Anyways, we're finally getting to the top (of the bottom) ten! Be prepared for just about anything!

https://www.nickalive.net/2024/05/peter-bennett-long-time-art-director-on.html I was shocked to hear from show crew members on Instagram that he had died. Not only had he been the art director since Season 4 (taking over from Nick Jennings), but he also had been with the show from the beginning as a background painter. Rest in peace Peter Bennett.

The Sponge Who Could Fly is a good episode IMO. I like the songs during it, and there's some good jokes throughout it. But weirdly enough, this is one of the few episodes where the patchy scenes are actually better than the SB scenes. Patchy's adventure to find the lost episode, turning it on only to get the cheap walk cycles, and then especially the I'M GETTING RID OF ALL MY SPONGEBOB STUFF scene, is just hilarious. The episode would just be okay without the patchy scenes, but the patchy scenes are actually what makes this episode good, which is very rare. Gullible Pants is such a boring episode and it's on my bottom 25. I never really understood why this episode only ever managed to get onto HMs, so I'm glad to see it in HMs again (which this time, is basically like just making it onto the list for previous ones since its still in bottom 50). This episode is just so painfully boring, and every attempt at humor is so unfunny and lame, and even gross or confusing at times. It's such a strange and stupid episode and I don't like it at all. In hindsight, a lot of season 6 episodes were way better than they're given credit for, but this is not one of them. This one sucks. The Battle of Bikini Bottom is a trash () episode and was #2 on my list. I hate it so much. Grossout is my least favorite type of humor, and the grossout that appears occasionally throughout the show is easily my least favorite aspect of the show. And no episode does it worse than this episode, where outside of the first couple minutes (which have some genuinely funny moments), the only humor of the entire episode is just grossout. This episode is absolutely disgusting and is easily the one I find to be the grossest, which is saying something when episodes like Squid Baby exist. This episode is just painful for me to watch. The idea of Spongebob and Patrick fighting each other on two different sides of a war/battle is actually a really cool and fun concept, and this couldn't have failed at using it more. A clean vs dirty war is the worst possible idea they could have went with for the battle; not only is it an extremely lame idea, but it also causes the episode to be extremely gross and disgusting. Thank GOD they went back to the battle concept in season 6 with Sand Castles in the Sand, a battle idea that's actually cool and results in an amazing episode. The Splinter is one of those episodes that used to be very hated, but has seemingly fallen out of being one of the most hated episodes and no longer has the hatred to make it far into the list (or even at all in this case). But honestly? I don't think it deserved to stop being hated. Maybe bottom 10 is a bit too harsh, but this episode completely deserves at least bottom 25. This episode is another grossout based episode, and most of the humor in this episode just involves Spongebob's splinter gradually getting worse and worse, eventually becoming completely disgusting by the end. Not only is this episode gross because of this, but its also super boring. It doesn't feel like all that much happens, and its not funny at all either. The episode only really deviates from this once, when "Doctor Patrick" appears to help....and funnily enough, this is somehow worse than the rest of the episode. Patrick just sticks Spongebob's foot in his mouth for like 2 minutes, makes the splinter even worse, and that's about it. Yeah, this episode didn't need to fall out of the bottom 30. It should've been One Coarse Meal instead. Hide and Then What Happens? is another very boring episode with very few jokes. Patrick not understanding the game and just forgetting about it completely wasn't funny, and that's pretty much the only joke in the entire episode; and the rest of the episode is just boring too. That being said, its at least not gross, annoying, has a nonsensical plot, and has terrible characterization. I also like Patrick NotStar; his existence is pretty funny. I kinda get why people put this on their worst list, but I think there's worse episodes. But I do think this is a good place to put it on a worst list; bottom 50, but not bottom 30. Waiting is just a boring episode, slightly helped by its shorter runtime, not helped at all by its terrible characterization. Spongebob is a complete fucking asshole in this episode for some reason, and its all because he's so impatient about getting a toy exactly when it delivers. And then he starts crying like a baby when he "breaks" it. Such an annoying episode, it'd probably make my list if it was a full length episode and I had to sit through extra minutes of it. Face Freeze is a terrible episode and was #3 on my list. I can't believe you guys let this fall off of the list like what does this episode even have to let itself be above bottom 30? This episode is probably the most boring episode of the entire series. There's virtually nothing in this entire episode except for a collection of the absolute worst facial expressions ever put into the series. Like, this episode would already be bottom 15 if the faces weren't gross, because of how boring and empty it is; there's no jokes, or anything remotely interesting at all except for the facial expressions. But then they had to go and make them ugly as hell (and usually even outright disgusting) too, making this episode also one of the grossest of the series. So this episode is both extremely boring and very gross, with almost no jokes or even really anything at all except the gross faces. The ending doesn't even make any sense either; like ok, Spongebob and Patrick kept their faces for a whole night, it makes sense for them to get face freeze. But then Squidward and Mr Krabs had their faces for just a couple seconds and get it??? What the fuck? Also, shoutouts to Boating Buddies, Atlantis Squarepantis, and All That Glitters finally not being on a worst list, not even in HMs. These episodes are good and never deserved to be on here. Also nice to not see Doodle Dimension here at all either.

I am glad my years of keeping Gullible Pants around as a throwaway episode finally paid off in a satisfying enough boost for it

Before heading to the bottom 10, let's take a break and see the (dis)honorable mentions, which are the episodes that barely missed the list. I won't provide commentary since this is not technically part of the official list, but I'll still mention how many points they got, how many people picked them and the highest ranking, as usual! 37. This one's gonna fly! I can feel it! The Sponge Who Could Fly - 44 points 3 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #6, @Steel Sponge) (-1) Season: 3 Writers: Paul Tibbitt, Kent Osborne, Merriwether Williams Plot: SpongeBob wishes he could fly with the jellyfish. 36. You're serving Krabby Patties with your hands? Do you know how filthy your hands are? Gullible Pants - 44 points 3 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #4, @Steel Sponge) (+19) Season: 6 Writers: Luke Brookshier, Nate Cash, Derek Iversen Plot: SpongeBob is left in charge of the Krusty Krab for a few minutes, and Squidward takes advantage of his gullibility. 35. Run, Mr. Krabs! Patrick is digging for gold! The Battle of Bikini Bottom - 45 points 2 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #2, @WinterArcanine) (+13) Season: 5 Writers: Luke Brookshier, Nate Cash, Eric Shaw Plot: SpongeBob and Patrick battle over cleanliness. 34. For a second there, I thought I was gonna have to pay you workman's "compersation." The Splinter - 45 points 3 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #9, @Bob Carotte @dmandagiraffe) (-2) Season: 6 Writers: Nate Cash, Sean Charmatz, Steven Banks Plot: SpongeBob gets a splinter at work. 33. Why is he counting? I guess I'll just go home, maybe or later he'll want to play a game, or something. Hide and Then What Happens? - 50 points 3 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #8, @WhoBibbles @SquiddyFace) (+9) Season: 7 Writers: Aaron Springer, Dani Michaeli Plot: SpongeBob and Patrick's game of hide and seek goes downhill after SpongeBob can't find Patrick anywhere. 32. YOUUUU!!! You ruined my free toy!!!!!! Waiting - 51 points 3 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #4, @Clappy) (-1) Season: 5 Writers: Nate Cash, Tuck Tucker, Steven Banks Plot: SpongeBob waits for a toy to arrive in the mail. 31. Ooh. I know that sound. It's the sound of me money being flushed down the toilet! Face Freeze - 55 points 3 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #3, @WinterArcanine) (-4) Season: 8 Writers: Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Doug Lawrence Plot: SpongeBob and Patrick's faces freeze after making too many silly faces.

Big Sister Sam was in my bottom 10. The fact that it's one of the worst in season 7 says a lot. Sister Sam might be the single worst character ever introduced in the series; she's just an ugly brute who destroys things, easily gets angry, and almost makes Patrick look smart. There's nothing interesting about her at all, nor anything likable. Just a bland, unfunny, and hateable character who's most unique character element is saying "blecorate". All she does in the episode is constantly steal and destroy things, completely destroy Squidward and Spongebob's house, and then finally fuck off when she hurts Patrick. Everytime Squidward or Spongebob complain about what Sam is doing, Patrick defends her, even though what she's doing is blatantly bad. This episode is just annoying, boring, and extremely unfunny.

12. You mean the juvenile correction facility? But that place is for losers, man. The Clash of Triton - 158 points 9 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #4, @WhoBibbles @Less_SpongeBob ) (+2) Season: 6 Writers: Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Aaron Springer, Steven Banks, Paul Tibbitt Plot: It's King Neptune's birthday, and SpongeBob wants to make sure his friends and family are there, including his son, Triton, but Neptune and Triton don't get along. Middle post-sequel doesn't have good specials overall but Clash of Triton is one of the most nothing specials you can even find in the show. This is probably the only SpongeBob episode I actually fell asleep to. When I watched this episode for the first time I thought it was going to be a bit more focused on Neptune's birthday but nope we got scenes of him crying for his son Triton after putting him in a cage unfairly for ages while the rest of the episode is SpongeBob looking for Triton and of course theses scenes are painfully boring as well. I don't have much to say honestly because I haven't seen this episode in ages, but it's pretty clear that it's such a snooze fest. 11. Hey, ya just mind your own business and let us blecorate in peace! Big Sister Sam - 160 points 8 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #2, @El Jacko) (+2) Season: 7 Writers: Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Richard Pursel Plot: Patrick's sister Sam comes to visit him. This is yet another episode I was debating whether I should have added it to my list or not (I didn't). Apart from being boring like 90% of season 7, Sam is such an unlikeable character who is even dumber than Patrick and acts more like a wild animal. This episode is basically Sam destroying things because she is so into it and annoying Squidward and SpongeBob, even by destroying their houses, hahahaha laugh she destroyed things!!!!The worst part is that Patrick DEFENDS Sam's actions, by telling them they are rude for calling out Sam, even though everything she does has bad intentions. I also don't understand the ending...why does she have two faces? Is there something I missed? Even if it's just Sam having two moods this is such a poor way to portray it.

Honestly one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. The whole cast is on fire but especially Ayo Edebiri, Jeremy Allen White, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

A good and chaotic show that will make you very hungry.

I was mad and frustrated but doing a little better now. I got a tornado (or really strong storm - it kinda doesn’t matter tbh) that caused a 25 hour power outage that ruined all our refrigerated and frozen food, and I had to throw everything out and clean a bunch of melting stuff from the fridge and freezer defrosting. I didn’t have any consistent internet until about an hour and a half ago. The whole day was ruined dealing with the aftermath of the tornado. I hope tomorrow (technically today but whatever) is better.

One Coarse Meal is honestly an ok episode IMO. I always felt like people felt a moral need to hate it after Mr Enter reviewed it because of the suicide scene and how that was supposedly fucked up, but like....it really isn't that big of a deal? There's nothing morally wrong about putting a suicide attempt in a fictional show. I wouldn't say its a great scene or anything like that, but it's fine. Just a scene I don't really care about. Beyond that, I feel the episode is a mixed bag. Mr Krabs tormenting Plankton like this for two weeks when he isn't even trying to steal the formula is a bit much, even for Krabs. It was also kinda questionable for Spongebob that he says he has good nature, only to backstab Plankton in the end, though iirc Mr Krabs threatened Spongebob for telling Mr Krabs to stop? ngl I don't remember for certain. On the flip side however, it had a pretty fun first 2-3 minutes or so, and I think the idea of Plankton being terrified of whales, even Pearl, is interesting. I also think the nightmare scene was really cool. Overall it's just an ok episode, doesn't really deserve to be here IMO. Someone's in the Kitchen With Sandy, however, is a bad episode that deserves to be here. It only missed my list by a couple places. This episode's writing is just horrible. It literally makes no sense. First of all, how in the world does anyone (and in fact, everyone) fall for Plankton's plan? People see "Sandy" with no underwater suit or even air helmet, and a completely empty face, and a completely different voice, and think it's actually her??? It's ridiculous. And then why does Sandy have to leave the treedome "naked"? Plankton only took her fur, not her underwater suit. There's no reason she couldn't wear that. In fact, she NEVER does that anyway, so why would she even consider just leaving without it? If she wore it, only her face and tail would be visibly furless, I doubt the bikini bottomites would care about that. Speaking of that.....why do the bikini bottomites care??? She isn't even naked. She's still wearing a skirt and bra. So she's not even naked, just furless. And it's not like the bikini bottomites are fully clothed either. In fact, a lot of them are naked themselves. So why do they even care? It makes no sense. This whole episode just makes zero sense. I don't know what they were thinking when they made this episode lol. The episodes on my list are just less enjoyable to watch, which is why it missed, but this episode was not far behind. I've seen people on discord say that House Sittin for Sandy almost feels like an AI generated episode of Spongebob, and honestly.....I can't say I disagree. This is one of the blandest and most boring episodes of the show. The fact they didn't even remember to put Spongebob's helmet on and then made a joke about it partway throughout the episode says a lot about how much of a budget this season had. They couldn't afford to go back and add the helmet in. Animation is reused multiple times as well. The one thing I DO like about this episode however, is the ending. The fact that Sandy knew Spongebob would destroy everything, and she just wanted to use her new fixing gun thing, is very funny. It also looks like Sandy is so angry at Spongebob that she's about to shoot him, which is also really funny. Spongebob accidentally destroying everything again, and then Sandy's fixing gun also getting broken, was also very funny. But outside of the ending, this episode is really bad. Are You Happy Now is a weird episode. Why did they think putting in such blatant suicide jokes were a good idea? With other suicide jokes throughout the series, it felt less serious, or wasn't with a character who's depressed. But in this episode, Squidward is outright depressed, and this is done in a serious way and not a comedic way, so it's just strange. Admittedly, I never really cared about the suicide jokes, but I don't blame people for hating the episode because of them. Outside of that, this episode is boring, and has a terrible ending that makes zero sense. Why would Squidward suddenly say he doesn't want a happiest memory after being depressed about it for weeks? It makes no sense. And how crazy he goes over his enjoyment of destroying the paper Spongebobs was a bit jarring. And then Spongebob's line "He's so handsome" is also really weird. Why does he find this handsome? What???? This episode wasn't on my list, but it's still pretty bad.

14. Now that I haven't suffocated, it's high time I got back to this list of house-sitting duties. House Sittin for Sandy - 91 points 5 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #7, @SquiddyFace @OWM @BoJack Horseman) (+9) Season: 8 Writers: Aaron Springer, Sean Charmatz, Derek Iversen Plot: SpongeBob's house-sitting stint at Sandy's goes perfectly smoothly until Patrick arrives for a visit. Season 8 is full of sleep medication and House Sittin for Sandy is one of its strongest pills. I'm not surprised it went up the rankings (even if it missed my list by a hair) because this is such a nothing episode where absolutely nothing happens until I don't know...6th minute or something. What's funny is that they made a joke out of something the storyboard artists forgot to do...draw SpongeBob's water helmet as SpongeBob completely forgot about it until Patrick pointed that out, he even asked "what's that funny thing on your head?" well what do you think??? Patrick didn't help at all and made this borefest worse than it was. Also, the fact that Sandy wanted them to destroy her treedome so that she tests her new invention is such a stupid reason. She could have destroyed something herself and fix it with that thing. This episode also has a dumb "here we go again" ending with the robot breaking Sandy's invention and not being able to fix her treedome anymore, and all of this could have been avoided if she didn't manipulate SpongeBob and Patrick into house-sitting. 13. Sigh... he's so handsome! Are You Happy Now? - 140 points 7 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #3, @Shark Tale @Hotel Mario) (-4) Season: 8 Writers: Luke Brookshier, Marc Ceccarelli, Dani Michaeli Plot: SpongeBob tries to help Squidward find his happiest memory. And here is the big point gap I was talking about...our #13 ahead of #14 by a whooping 49 points! I noticed this episode also left SBC's bottom 10 and I think so did mine but it's still one of the lowest points of this show and right now I'm even thinking "should I have put it #14 on my list after all?". I even think it was a nice concept as it's cool to have SpongeBob find a happy memory for Squidward but after he failed to do so, the episode turned into such a dark tone where Squidward felt very depressed and miserable. The suicide jokes are executed in the worst way possible that it doesn't look like I'm watching SpongeBob...I don't feel like ranting too much about it in this review though. The ending is actually the part that pisses me off the most because SpongeBob, unaware of how Squidward is feeling, just kidnaps him in a box and brings him to the Krusty Krab, then surprises him with dozens of papier mâché SpongeBobs. Of course this makes Squidward lose his mind and begins attacking them, but SpongeBob finds this nice to look at??? Sigh, he's sooooo brainless...
