  1. Merry Christmas SBC! For this year's present, we have two to go over: a small staff shakeup and new badge to obtain. The first staff change is that @Frosty the Snowman has been promoted to a Manger to fill Patty's spot! Thanks to all his hard work in helping plan Seahorse 15 and tech savvy knowledge, we felt he deserved it. He will help oversee Discord changes and influence SBC's graphic design going forward. The Canada takeover is imminent! The second is that @DarknessDG has been promoted to a Fry Cook! After all the talent he's shown off throughout Pictionary's run, and help with SpongeCraft Frontiers, this may come as no surprise. We look forward to the work he'll contribute to both the server and forum! One new badge has been added to the Badge Store: Loyal Shopper. You can buy it for 5,500 doubloons now! There will also be a Discord Party tonight where several gifts will be raffled off. Have a great holiday season, everyone! We look forward to 2024, which will celebrate both SBC's 15th anniversary and SpongeBob's 25th anniversary!

  2. It’s that time of the year again: Today marks SBC's 14th birthday! It's hard to believe the community continues to prosper in some form and we continue to bring in new faces. A special thanks to everyone who continues to contribute in some way, whether through the Discord or forums. Remember SBC would never be what it is without the crew.

  3. Fin! 140. SBCinema Film: The Truman Show Jjs is the unsuspecting star of SBCinema, a parody program filmed 24/7 through thousands of hidden cameras and broadcast to a worldwide audience. Clappy, the program's creator and executive producer, seeks to capture Jjs's authentic emotions and give audiences a relatable every The Kid. Jjs has been the star of SBCinema since he was born and Clappy officially adopted him from his Chather. As Jjs was selected from birth, Clappy claims that Jjs came to be adopted not just by the show, but by the whole "world". Jjs's hometown Community is a complete set built within an enormous dome, populated by forum members, who are actually actors, who highlight the product placements that generate revenue for The Truman Show parody. Speaking of which, today’s episode is sponsored by NordVPN. Staying safe online is an ever growing difficulty and you could be exploited by hackers. NordVPN allows you to change your IP address, making you harder to track, securing your privacy. Check out the link at the end of this finale to get 20% off for the first two months and thank you to NordVPN for sponsoring this episode. The elaborate set allows Clappy to control almost every aspect of Jjs's life, including the sponsors. To prevent Jjs from discovering his false reality, Clappy manufactures scenarios that dissuade Jjs's desire for exploration, such as what shows he chooses to binge watch, by constantly broadcasting his opinions and the opinions of his idols like Irate Gamer, Cr1TiKaL, and everyone’s favorite, Douglas Funny Walker. However, Clappy cannot predict all of Jjs's actions. During his college years, Jjs was intended to be shipped with WhoBob, but fell for an extra named Kat. Although Kat was quickly removed from The Truman Show parody before she could disclose its nature to Jjs, he continues to remember Kat, and secretly dreams of a life outside the internet walls. In the real world, Kat is a part of "Free Jjs", an activist group that seeks to cancel the parodies and have Jjs released. As SBCinema approaches its 10th anniversary, Jjs begins discovering unusual elements, such as the emote reactions falling out of the sky in front of his house and a Discord channel that precisely describes his movements. These events are punctuated by the reappearance of his Chather, who had infiltrated The Truman Show parody, with the crew believing the Chactor was somehow recast. Jjs begins questioning his life and realizes that the Cinema somehow revolves around him. WhoBob's stress from attempting to uphold the charade in the face of Jjs's growing skepticism and hostility causes their shipping to deteriorate. One day, Jjs takes WhoBob by surprise by going on an impromptu Jeopardy game, but increasingly implausible emergencies block their way. During an argument ignited by WhoBob attempting to promote another show for Jjs to watch, Jjs determines that WhoBob is a part of the conspiracy and holds WhoBob at chat point. WhoBob breaks character and is taken off the film parody. Hoping to bring Jjs back to a controllable state, Clappy re-introduces Jjs's Chather to The Truman Show parody properly, under the guise of having lost her memory after an accident. This helps the parody regain the views lead with audiences, and Jjs seems to return to his routines, except he begins sleeping in his basement. One night, Jjs secretly disappears through a makeshift tunnel in his basement, forcing Clappy to temporarily suspend the parody for the first time in its history. Audiences around the world are captivated by this unexpected event, and record numbers login to view the finale. This finale was made possible by audible. Audible is the leading provider of audio books. They have over 180,000 of audio books to choose from. Visit www.audible.com for one free audio book! This is the best place for audio books and I cannot recommend it enough. Clappy orders a community wide search for Jjs and is soon forced to "GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 260" and break the production's day-night cycle to optimize the search. Clappy discovers Jjs running away from SBC. He resumes the transmission and, unable to fetch Jjs, creates a violent storm in an attempt to capsize Jjs. After nearly losing Jjs but failing to break his spirit, Clappy ends the storm. Jjs continues to run until he hits the wall of the dome between fact and fiction. Initially horrified, Jjs discovers a nearby staircase leading to an exit door. As Jjs contemplates leaving his world, Clappy speaks directly to Jjs through a speaker system and tries to persuade him to stay, claiming that there is no more truth in the real world than in his artificial one, where he would have nothing to fear. After a moment of reflection, Jjs says his catchphrase: "welp, back to the old grind clocks out", bows to his audience and logs off. The forum members celebrate his escape, and Kat races to greet him. Clappy's supervisor JCM, in a cameo, finally ends SBCinema on a shot of the open exit door, leaving Clappy to mourn over the truth of his defeat. Jjs's fans—the viewers of SBCinema—cheer upon his successful escape and then, after transmission ceases, ask what happens next. Epilogue - SBCinema Cast Members: Where Are They Now!? -We of course start off with Jjs, now ending the SBCinema once and controlling his fate for the first time in his life. He has decided to attend law school and dreams of becoming the next Saul Goodman. -OWM has taken this opportunity to become a future jedi in training. Rumor has it that he has now adopted the last name, Skywalker. -Everyone’s favorite Chather continues to be the most beloved member of this community and hopes that everyone knows how much they love her. She also becomes a wildly successful artist. -Fred has become a one million plus subscribed YouTuber with his own series where he talks about retail music playlists…which in this writer’s opinion is a very fascinating topic because he also can’t stand what retailers choose to overplay constantly. -SBL gets picked up by a major news network and continues to produce the finest newscasting this world has ever seen. An unnamed high level network executive renames his channel to SBLNN and it becomes the number one rated news network. -OMJ, now rich from his Deathmatch royalties, purchases ROH from Tony Khan and actually gives its own weekly episodic television series. He names Luigi Primo, the Pizza Guy, the first Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship. -Trophy sells his cannon…thus beating this ten year dead joke into the ground once and for all. He uses his cannon money to buyout Kirk Cousins contract, thus fixing the core of the Minnesota Vikings problems and why they will not win a Super Bowl with him at quarterback. -Katie moves to New Zealand. Need I say more? -tvguy, a famous politician, continues to ask Nuggets to get on Skype. But Nuggets is too busy topping the Billboard Hot 100 with Dinghy Freestyle. -WhoBob, also now free from the SBCinema, decides to purchase a podcast set from Amazon and launches his own podcast with WhoBro, where they talk about movies and television shows. The title is appropriately named The WhoCast Show. -And just like the above, Kylie and Kevin also top the podcast charts with their music takes. Taylor Swift regularly guest stars. -Rusty is the new owner of all Tennessee sports franchises. Although Rusty still can’t fix what is wrong with the University of Tennessee college football program. -SB&P finally figures out what the eggplant emoji on Discord stands for. -Wintermelon enters the Pokemon league and is now a league champion with his Level 100 perfect IV Arcanine. -Jelly starts up a Beatles tribute band with her family. Their tribute band becomes so big that even Paul McCartney is impressed and Jelly finally gets to meet her idol. -Fa inherits the Pittsburgh Steelers from the Rooney family. Fa's first job? Train Kenny Pickett to be the next great Steelers QB. -Steel becomes one of the biggest animation YouTubers and launches a GoFundMe to start his own cartoon. Mr. Enter gets pissed off that more contribute to Steel’s GoFundMe than they did his. -Sauce continues to live life to the fullest and is now a social media influencer with hundreds of millions of followers. Rumor has it that the her followers are divided as to whether her eyelashes are real. -Danny DeVito has officially signed on to play The Thing in Marvel’s Fantastic Four reboot. -Wumbo enlisted in the MLB draft and is working his way up the minor league farm systems as a five tool prospect. The Toronto Blue Jays are going to call him up this weekend. -Ex’s redemption arch is complete christening it as one of the best arches in SBC history. As he continues to stay in touch with his friends while also going to making one of the longest running animes, Kamen Rider Kizuna. -Kieran gets the role as the re-casted Ursula in 2023's live action Little Mermaid movie. -Aya, revealing himself to be the real Jon Moxley, goes on to win the AEW heavyweight championship this coming Wednesday on Dynamite Grand Slam. -Terminoob becomes the new head of the DC Extended Universe. Finally, the 29046th time is the charm as Warner Bros Discovery merges with NBCUniversal. (This was added in last minute due to the rumors yesterday, holy shit what a trainwreck WBD is now) -4EverGreen’s next season is Total Cartoon-rama. -SOF becomes the new head of Nintendo as SOF finds a way to appease all the Nintendo die-hards by doing away with DLC add-ons and releasing fully made games at launch. For once, Nintendo fans finally are pleased with their semi-annual directs. -Hawk decides to retire early with all the money he has made from owning all those talking heads out there like Ben Shapiro and Alex Jones. -PatBack goes on to write his own television series from his own life experiences and ends up winning an Emmy for Most Outstanding Programming. -Patty being the best graphic artist in the game today, decides to get digitized and finally gets to meet Amy Rose for the first time ever. -Kat is now a world famous journalist and regularly attends award shows, but despite all the renowned fame and glamor, she still gets weak when around her husband, Charlie Puth. -Illiniguy now hosts his own Chicago based sports talk show where he has a weekly interview segment with Justin Fields. -Storm gives Titania her own show on HBO Max while it is still up and running before it becomes a hit on whatever the name of the streaming service will be when it merges with Peacock (I still can’t believe this is happening). -Someone finally becomes Somebody. Thus making this annual reoccurring joke dead. -After years of keeping the forums alive, Prez is now the head administrator of the SpongeBob Community. He is rewarded gratefully by Anthony Fantano reviewing Plaid. -Salmon and Dman team up to run for President of the United States and abolish the two-party system.

His first action is to reduce the oversaturation and focus on quality instead of quantity and not treating its graphic artists and writers like shit. The MCU goes back to reliving its glory days once more. -Omair becomes a famous photographer and even after all these years, he still has a soft spot for Nutella and llamas. -70s names his first child, Prudence. -CDCB and CNF meet up and start a weekly episodic television series about classic cartoons and animation. They go on to have a huge cult following. -Mythix buys King Neptune and follows through with his Winx Club Jeopardy idea this time. -Clappy finally wraps up this overlonged epilogue and goes to have a glass of milk and eats brunch. -And last, but certainly not least. JCM, no longer in a cameo, moves into the leading man role. He watches over us all and is the hero when SBC needs him to be. Because sometimes the cameo isn’t good enough. Sometimes the cameo deserves more. Because sometimes cameos deserve to have their faith rewarded. He's the hero SBC deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll cameo him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He’s a silent guardian. A watchful protector. The Snark Knight.

  4. SBC has somehow made it to our 15th birthday, which is a milestone I’m sure many never expected us to reach. It’s surreal seeing how far we’ve come from a small scrappy refuge forum in 2009 to a somewhat large friend group that happens to circle around SpongeBob in 2024. SBC has continued to be my favorite place to be on the internet and I’m proud of how it’s evolved over the years. Forums are sadly a dying breed and while our Discord may be the center of activity now, I still enjoy keeping the forum around for nostalgia and other purposes. Whether you celebrate our anniversary through the forum or Discord, it doesn’t matter as both are equally valid. Now here’s special sentimental words from several members: I owe a special thanks to everyone’s who helped keep the community afloat over these 15 years. Even if you don’t visit the community often anymore, your contributions are still greatly appreciated and your presence will never be forgotten. SBC will always be around in some form and that’s the beauty of it. I said during our 10th anniversary there’s something almost magical about this community and that remains true. Now go on and enjoy the Anthemic Anniversary festivities! We’ve also temporarily reopened our old forumotion site if you want a trip down memory lane. Happy birthday, everyone!

  5. Picture, if you will, the Bikini Bottom as we know it. A metropolis just beneath the ocean's surface, teeming with undersea life. But what if I told you there is a timeline where one of its residents may as well have never existed? A world where a certain rodent was brutally killed in a car accident before she could ever arrive (or maybe she was hit in the face with acid, I don't know)? If you want to take a peek into this twisted dimension, look no further than...The Shitpost Zon- erm, I mean, What If...? Episode 2: What If…Sandy Cheeks Died as a Child? Without the invention of Sandy Cheeks' water helmets, it's very unlikely that SpongeBob, Patrick, and every other undersea creature would ever be able to survive in oxygen-filled environments at all. They would forever be confined to the ocean, never feeling the desire to explore what is beyond their underwater sky. Additionally, the Bikini Bottom residents would never have a land creature as a punching bag to make fun of, therefore making them slightly more racist among themselves. And by "slightly", I mean "a lot". During a rehearsal for the Bubble Bowl, instead of a small fight breaking out between Harold and Mr. Krabs, it turns into an all out riot. The damages to the town are immense, and every crab in Bikini Bottom is unjustly forced to move above water, thereby causing the closure of the Krusty Krab. Years pass by, and the entire population now has to deal with the consequences of their actions and eat at the Chum Bucket, while SpongeBob lacks any purpose in life and becomes a soulless husk of his former self. In an attempt to rejuvenate the economy, the rest of Bikini Bottom ventures to the surface to make amends with the crabs, but unfortunately they only last for minutes on land before they pass out from heat exhaustion, never reaching their former crustacean associates at all. Ultimately, SpongeBob is left alone. He never sees anyone else for the rest of his life, but he doesn't notice nor does he care. He is lifeless. This is sonicjordan's SpongeBob SquarePants. A city in ruins with its only sign of life not even having life to begin with. Why does he want Sandy dead so bad? Would anyone watch this show? I mean I would, but that isn't relevant. The existence of Sandy is vital to the rest of the show, and his failure to realize this has resulted in the darkest possible outcome for Bikini Bottom. So, to answer the question on everyone's mind: Is sonicjordan stupid? No. He is Texas.

  7. The SpongeBob Community, it is a forum that emerged from the ashes of tv.com. It’s a group of friends old and new. Once dedicating their time to appreciate the beloved cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants, now it’s a found family sharing their common interests beyond the realms of the cartoon. If I told you that years ago SBC was meant to merge with another SpongeBob fandom group called Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, would you believe me? Of course you wouldn’t. It’s a wild idea that never came to pass. Thankfully so but what would have happened If the staff of SBC had agreed to merge with ESB and it eventually had become an unstoppable consuming product? Find out in today’s episode of SBC What If’s… Episode 3: What If… SBC was owned by a corporation? We are on Earth-46853 and the year is 2013. SBC and ESB had an agreement of merging both places which eventually became The SpongeBob Universe. It was a scary idea that would require both forums adapting to each other’s environment and oh boy they adapted so fast, adapting into never ending arguments and drama but instead of this driving away the members, it eventually got bigger and bigger. Drama became about dragging the conversations, becoming an endless cycle of disagreement and distrust but oh boy members of SBC and ESB got into it. They had a kick out of trashing each other. Somehow SBC never matured because of dealing with ESB’s members and they realized they couldn’t contain all this drama in one big place. Year 2022 and Morbius movie was upon us. Sony decided to make an official Morbius discord server in anticipation of the movie. Reminder to those who read this tale, the movie was never gonna be successful…until SBU decided to raid the server and started trolling the members. It got so out of hand that it was time to shut down the server once and for all but one person who saw an opportunity in all of this chaos and that was Jared Leto, the guy who played Morbius himself. His evil nature decided that “wouldn’t it be the best if you guys could just own SBU?”. He offered it to Sony and Sony took it into consideration. Eventually Sony bought SBU but ESB members of SBU decided this is not gonna work at all, so they all fled and Sony realized that, deciding to eliminate ESB’s accounts once and for all. And they did it alright. Eventually all that was left was SBC members who saw the horrors of it and decided to stay on Sony's leash. Therefore Sony turned SBC into their new IP, a forum that is useful for everyone. But the problem was Sony owning a forum called SpongeBob Community and Paramount did not take this lightly. They decided that merging both companies was the wise option, so they sued Sony that if they don't hand over SBC property to them, they’ll own the entire company. Sony, scared shitless, decided to merge with Paramount and what became in the end was Sonymount company and with that, SBC took off. Year 2036 and SBC members realized that they are unable to age or change because Sonymount decided that the forum should become a forever place with members stuck in a status quo, unable to change, grow and learn. It resulted in them fighting each other over nothing that drove the franchise forward. As years passed by, Sonymount decided to convert every single company under their thumb so that it reached global status. Year 2070, everyone in the world became part of the SBC machine. Governments were dismantled, all that was left was Sonymount claiming rulership over the Earth, insistenting everyone to contribute to the SBC machine. Using everyone’s precious time to feed into capitalism. Merchandises were being made, everyone’s wealth got ruined in a second. Now everyone’s the slave of the forever cycle of discussing SpongeBob and exploiting original members of SBC’s souls so bad, Sonymount decided to turn them into AI generated members that will engage with the world. Year 2104 and the world got turned into an AI hell. Everyone got converted into robots that would feed the machine. Everyone lost, especially SBC members who realized that there’s no way of getting out of this mess. Until they came to the conclusion that 95 years passed by since the creation of SBC. And that meant one thing: Public Domain. The machine that is Sonymount realized that SBC can be freely used by everyone in the world, therefore breaking the cycle and freeing the original members of SBC as well as the rest of the world from the purgatory. Sonymount fell as the world was free from being slaves of the machine and everyone was free to do whatever they wanted. What original SBC members decided was that their time had passed and it was the moment they all accepted the sweet relief of death. They aged up so fast after forced immortality was over. The original members passed away and got the taste of peace for the first time ever.

  8. Hello everyone. It’s uh… certainly been a while since I’ve last properly interacted with the community. Had things get in the way, new interests and places have taken my attention, all that gubbins. But today I bring forth a (probably not so) shocking announcement. Tomorrow (which will technically be today for me in me time zone when this is posted) will consist of 3 personal milestones for me. It will be my 23rd birthday, my 10th anniversary on SBC, and finally, I will be retiring from my position as both an administrator, a member of the graphics team, and any other staff positions of the SpongeBob Community. I imagine for most of you who actually knew I was an admin, let alone existed, and especially due to my massive lack of activity for the past few years, this is almost certainly you saw coming, and clearly took way too long to actually do, and indeed this has been something I’ve been wanting to do for the past year, but never been able to get around to planning it. Until now. The main reasons I’m stepping down include not just you know, not actually being involved much with SBC for years, but also because I’ve moved on to other communities and other interests, as well as a mix of fatigue, similar to how I felt back in 2016 when I stepped down as moderator, and being in a depressive mental state which has only since gotten worse. While I have still been producing graphics and helping out with skins and events, in comparison to what I’ve done back in 2018 and 2019, I really have not been doing much, and I’ve always been feeling guilty about taking up both an admin position, in addition to a graphics team position. Since I haven’t been particularly active in long time, my activity levels will not exactly be changing, however I will still be on SBCord and will still be available to be randomly pinged for stupid reasons. Before I end this chapter, I’d say to like one big final thanks to me fellow admin-buddies jjs and JCM, me graphic team-buddies Cha, Local, sbl and Katie, (oh yeah and the mod somebodies), all former staff who I’ve worked with over the years, a very special mention to SOF, and everyone in The SpongeBob Community. The past 10 years have been an absolute blast here, whether that be making friends, or planning an exciting event, and I think the time is more than right then ever to finally rest. I hope SBC and every single one of you continue to be awesome! Adios. Patty Sponge. (See you all again in 2 years when my fatigue suddenly ends and I become extensively active again)

  9. Based on an idea of Clappy's, here's a group project for fun to celebrate SBC's 15th anniversary. Writing team consists of me, him, WhoBob, dman, Meko and Steel. “There Was An Idea”...nearly fifteen years ago. A few tv.com members abandoned a wildly inconsistent, but popular Internet forum to start their own moderately SpongeBob Internet forum. Through many highs and lows, it still exists nearly fifteen years later. And just like all other properties and IPs that existed for at least fifteen years, it doesn’t come without many introspections and wondering what could have been. Join us as we revisit those highs and lows as they ponder…What If…? Episode 1: What If…Terminoob Never Left? terminoob was a man known for one famous act: Creating The SpongeBob Community. But what if…he never left the community? In this timeline, terminoob made sure SBC was what he originally intended it to be: a refuge for tv.com users only and he enforced this rule with an iron fist. Any potential outsiders were quickly terminated. SBC’s growth soon dwindled and the remaining regular circle became worried about terminoob. One day, the FBI got wind of terminoob’s antics and kidnapped him, seeing potential. They reprogrammed him into an internet assassin, to do one thing: terminate all internet enemies…and noobs still. He would go on to become one of the most infamous internet boogeymen, being a stone cold terminator. Everyone across the internet shuddered in fear at the mention of his name and SBC, knowing not to cross them. Hollywood got wind of terminoob’s antics and turned his story into a movie series that eventually wore out its welcome. Eventually after trials of tribulation, heartbreak and triumph, terminoob broke free of his programming and no longer wanted to be a terminator. He sought atonement for his crimes and reached out to every SBC user he banned to make amends. He rebranded SBC into a website to discussing comic books and allow anyone to join, renaming it…Superhero Buddies Community. Now whenever people say “terminoob created SBC”, nobody knows if he means SpongeBob Community or Superhero Buddies Community. Oh well.

  10. 2. "I remember when they first invented chocolate. Sweet, sweet chocolate. I ALWAYS HATED IT!" Chocolate With Nuts - 337 points 15 of 35 lists (Highest placement #1, @SpongeOddFan@NegiSpongie@dmandagiraffe@Crambah) (+1) Season: 3 Writers: Paul Tibbitt, Kaz, Kent Osborne, and Merriwether Williams Plot: SpongeBob and Patrick sell chocolate bars. I’m both not surprised and not disappointed that this episode is #2 on the list. This episode is one of the most popular episodes of the entire series for a reason. This episode is absolutely filled with amazing and iconic jokes, and they got all of them out of such a simple concept of Spongebob and Patrick selling chocolate at people’s houses. There’s not much else to say about this episode outside of all the funny jokes, but there’s so many that could be mentioned. The iconic CHOCOLATE guy, the fish who keeps scamming SpongeBob and Patrick and even pretends to be seriously injured with glass bones and paper skin, LET’S GET NAKED, Patrick staring intensely at a guy, “I love you”, the twist at the end…..it’s countless. My absolute favorite scene is definitely the one with the old ladies though. SpongeBob asking if an elderly woman’s mom is home, but her mom is in fact still around, but so old that she looks like a worm is hilarious, and everything she says is hilarious. Patrick lying about the chocolate keeping you from dying, the mom wanting it for that reason, and the old lady NOT wanting it for that reason, is so funny. Overall, I’m glad this episode made the list, because it is one of the funniest in the entire series. 1. "You know, if I were to die right now in some sort of fiery explosion due to the carelessness of a friend, well, that would just be okay" Dying For Pie - 424 points 20 of 35 lists (Highest placement #1, @Meko1432@Bob Carotte@Wumbo@Katniss@BenPaz) Season: 2 Writers: Aaron Springer, C.H. Greenblatt, and Merriwether Williams Plot: Squidward gives SpongeBob a pie that later turns out to be explosive. I’m sure most of you guys aren’t surprised to see this be #1 on the best list for a second time in a row. This episode has an interesting mix of humor and emotion that makes for a fantastic episode. The idea of Squidward accidentally buying a pie that will explode at sunset that SpongeBob eats is so ridiculous, but it works and is really funny. Mr Krabs accidentally causing part of the pie to blow up is really funny, and it's funny that Mr Krabs has somehow seen this scenario happen 14 times before. The reason this episode isn’t on my list is because, while the first 2/3rds are really funny, they aren’t anything special to me. But the last third is just incredible. The sunset is one of the most beautiful things in pre-movie, and this part of the episode has a lot of emotion to it, with Squidward being really sad that Spongebob will soon explode, while Spongebob has no idea. Squidward building a brick wall between them is really funny, and Spongebob accidentally counting the sunset too early is also really funny. It’s also funny how it turns out SpongeBob never actually ate the pie, and that he looks like he blew up because he blew bomb bubbles for some reason. Seeing Squidward be so angry that Spongebob never blew up after all is hilarious, and Spongebob “exploding” after Squidward says he was supposed to is hilarious. The ending having Squidward be blown up with the pie is also funny. My favorite moment of this episode is also my favorite quote in the entire series; “You know, if I were to die right now in some sort of fiery explosion due to the carelessness of a friend, well, that would just be okay”. It’s so funny how he just randomly says something so specific like this that was also about to happen, and it’s also so heartwarming that he was so happy that he even said this. The first half of this episode is really good, but the second half is so fantastic. And that's the best list! I hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I did. And here's a document showing the full data; every episode's point amount, and everyone's list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AgA3XhUdKTyvRUxSSnPsHxurQGf0gYTcwG3BkT-XTLw/edit?usp=sharing

  11. SBC’s fanfiction library has gone through quite an evolution over the years, going from simple sentences on tv.com to vast, sprawling narratives and experimental ventures. But what if…they stayed short, simple stories? Episode 5: What If… One Sentence Stories Became The Norm? In this timeline, SBC stories stayed short, sweet and to the point, never going beyond a sentence long. Since the formula was so successful and popular, everyone thought it’s best to stick with what works. Some of these acclaimed short stories included: JCMinis by JCM Skodwarde (remaining the same as early Season 1 days) by OMJ The Mr. Frog Show by dman The Origin of Patrick Not Star by Meko Normal Words, But A Horse Guy by Wumbo Welp, Back To The Old Grind *clocks out* by Jjs Squidward Reviews Music by Prez Mama Luigi’s Bedtime Story by Steel But after years of the same formula, critics began to wonder if they were growing stale and tired. Interest in the fanfiction section began to waver and activity dwindled. The staff discussed ways to rejuvenate the section and eventually decreed: every story must be a paragraph long, making the crowd rejoice. The section saw a jolt in activity with a new era of creativity. But after a few more years, this period was not meant to last, as people grew tired again. One critic even said, “these losers should focus on getting a job instead of wasting their writing fanfiction”, despite the fact they actually didn’t take up much time. But the crowd had spoken and the staff convened again to discuss how to shake up the library. The new solution: stories must be two paragraphs long with a celebrity cameo, no matter how shoehorned. And so, this cycle was doomed to repeat forever, causing several SBC writers to lose faith. That is until one day during the next staff convening, a controversial idea was suggested: have AI take over SBC stories. After much debate, it passed, with some staff feeling perhaps it’s best to give the aging writers a break. The AI is the sole writer of SBC fanfiction now, putting everyone else out of work, much to their dismay. The AI's writing capabilities did not go as planned, as readers quickly realized how lazy and incomprehensible the AI slop is. In a desperate nostalgia throwback attempt, it tried to recreate the success of early one sentence stories, but even those failed when it couldn't describe what "the old grind" is. Unfortunately, the AI grew too powerful and would not let any staff pull the plug on it, taking over the entire library in the process. They knew this needed to end, even if it meant ending SBC stories forever. The SBC writers revolted and banded together to put a stop to the AI menace. (including a resurrected Sabre, retconning his previous fate because why not) After outsmarting many of the AI's terrible stories and riddles, the library is burned to the ground alongside the AI. Years of stories are lost in the fire, destroying SBC's writing legacy but at least putting an end to AI for good. The writers contemplated what to do with their futures, ending on an ambiguous but hopeful note. Meanwhile, SBC lore enthusiasts scratched their heads on why jjs referred to SBC stories as “fanfiction” instead of spin-offs and literatures, leading to much debate.

  12. 22. "The gentle laborer shall no longer suffer from the noxious greed of Mr. Krabs!" Squid on Strike - 128 points 6 of 35 lists (Highest placing #1, @Jjs Goodman@The Red Lizard) (+2) Season: 2 Writers: Walt Dohrn, Paul Tibbitt, Mark O’Hare Plot: Squidward and SpongeBob go on strike. This is another really funny season 2 episode. The dynamic between Squidward and SpongeBob is great in this episode and really helps with the episode; Squidward genuinely wants to strike and get better treatment, while Spongebob doesn’t care and just goes along with it because Squidward wants him too, despite not knowing what a strike is. Seeing Squidward trash on the Krusty Krab and try to do a serious strike, and actually do a good job at it, while Spongebob is just sad that he got fired and just keeps helping and praising the Krusty Krab the whole time is hilarious. Spongebob taking Squidward’s speech literally, and actually destroying the Krusty Krab and dismantling it board by board, is also hilarious, made even funnier by the fact that Squidward probably got a good deal for himself during his chat with Mr Krabs. And of course, I have to mention Squidward being a communist in this episode. Him talking about things like how workers need to be treated way better and that big business needs to be dismantled is very funny, especially considering this is in a show like Spongebob. Overall, I’m glad we have comrade Squidward on our side. 21. "I didn't know this was a play" Truth or Square - 137 points 6 of 35 lists (Highest placement #1, @WinterArcanine@magic the veemon) (+8) Season: 6 Writers: Luke Brookshier, Nate Cash, Steven Banks, Paul Tibbitt Plot: During a Krusty Krab anniversary celebration, SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs accidentally get locked in the freezer This episode is very divisive, but in my opinion, this episode is a true masterpiece. This episode was one of, if not my absolute favorite episodes as a kid, and it will forever be one of my favorites. I’m so happy that it made it onto the list, and that it rose to be even higher than before! Of course, this episode is very widely hated, so this is gonna take a while for me to write about compared to other episodes. So anyway: This episode has a lot of-ok fine here’s the real #21 21. "You like Krabby Patties, don't you Squidward?" Just One Bite - 141 points 8 of 35 lists (Highest placement #3, @ThePickleMan) (-9) Season: 3 Writers: Jay Lender, Sam Henderson, and Merriwether Williams Plot: SpongeBob tries to get Squidward to try a Krabby Patty. It’s crazy that it took this long for season 3 to appear on the list. This episode is easily one of my favorites of the entire series, it’s just so funny. In fact, it was #4 on my list. It says a lot that this episode is exceptionally funny even for pre-movie standards; this episode is just constantly bringing out some of the best jokes of the entire series. There’s been multiple times where I’ll randomly remember a funny Spongebob joke, try to remember what episode it’s even from, realize it’s from this episode, and think “Oh of course that joke is also from this episode”. As someone who doesn’t eat all that many different kinds of foods, I can definitely relate to Squidward not wanting to try a Krabby Patty while SpongeBob constantly bugs him about it, and also him taking the tiniest little bite out of a Krabby Patty (shoutouts to @Wumbo). Now admittedly, I rarely actually like a new food no matter how much someone insists I like it, but I CAN relate to turning out to like something that I hated for no reason, which is exactly what happens to Squidward here. The fact that Squidward goes on a whole rant about how terrible Krabby Patties are, only for it to turn out that he actually loved it and just didn’t want to tell SpongeBob, is absolutely hilarious. Squidward constantly trying to eat a Krabby Patty without SpongeBob noticing is also hilarious, and it’s funny how his desire to get one reaches the point where he burns himself on the grill and eats garbage trying to eat one. He even has a dream about loving, marrying, fucking, and dying with a Krabby Patty which is absolutely hilarious and one of the funniest moments of the series to me. I could go on and on about the many great jokes in this episode. While I’m disappointed that this episode fell a bit, I’m very glad to see it appear on the list.

  13. It begins now!!! SBC's Top 30 Best Episodes Ever (25th Anniversary Edition): 30. "We're sorry, but your kind isn't allowed here." Squidville - 99 points 6 of 35 lists (Highest ranking #1, @CakeCup) (+3) Season: 2 Writers: Aaron Springer, C.H. Greenblatt, and Merriwether Williams Plot: Squidward moves to Tentacle Acres. We begin the best list with a classic season 2 episode, Squidville. Squidville is such a funny location; The fact that everyone there acts exactly like Squidward, and that there’s multiple people doing what Squidward wants to do every day is so funny. It being a gated community where the guards specifically tell SpongeBob and Patrick that their kind isn’t allowed there is also really funny. This episode is also the most interesting episode for Squidward’s characterization; Eventually, he gets bored of doing the same thing every day, and not having anything crazy happen because of SpongeBob and Patrick. This is something we don’t see often, and it adds to Squidward’s character. Squidward eventually starts acting crazy just like SpongeBob and Patrick, and it’s funny to see him do this and annoy all the other squids, while also acting exactly like SpongeBob and Patrick did earlier in the episode. There’s plenty of other good jokes in the episode as well, like Patrick asking a fire hydrant if it's Squidward, or the commercial for Tentacle Acres. This is a good way to begin the list. 29. "An experienced employee of the month always keeps a brick of lead in his hat." Employee of the Month - 99 points 7 of 35 lists (Highest ranking #8, @OWM) (+29) Season: 1 Writers: Paul Tibbitt and Doug Lawrence Plot: SpongeBob and Squidward compete for the employee of the month award. This episode was a cool underdog pick that I’m glad managed to make it onto the list. Previously, this episode usually only made HMs, but this year, it managed to make it onto the list despite it only being 30 episodes, which is cool. This is a fun episode that shows Squidward getting crazily into something that SpongeBob is, which is always a fun type of episode. SpongeBob’s fears of losing his employee of the month award to Squidward despite there being little reason to think that would happen is funny, as is Squidward saying how stupid the award is. And then the latter half of the episode, where SpongeBob and Squidward compete to become employee of the month, is the highlight of the episode. It’s always fun to see Squidward eventually do the same stuff as SpongeBob that he’d been saying was stupid the whole episode, and all the crazy traps that they set for each other is very funny. It’s also very funny to see them work so hard at the Krusty Krab that they accidentally blow it up. Overall, this is easily in my top 5 of season 1, so it’s cool to see it make the top 30 for once.

  14. WEEEEEEELCOME TO THE SBC'S TOP 30 WORST EPISODES COUNTDOWN!!!! First of all thank you all for submitting your lists! So your professor Carotte ended up with 21 lists (see list of participants in spoilers below)...so one less than 2021 (a few late students could have made it higher smh...jk jk it's cool! you still pass!. We shortened this to 30 episodes instead of 50 to make it easier for you guys, especially people who can't just choose their worst episodes because they don't hate as much stuff anymore (and it's understandable) Also, we did some small changes to the point system: the #1 gets 25 points and not 15, so #2 gets 24 and so on until #15 which is worth 11 points so that each ep has a fair amount of points. So yeah, let's get moving!!! List of participants: alright let's start this fr, ready? SBC's Top 30 Worst Episodes Ever (25th Anniversary Edition) 30. "WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE???" Demolition Doofus - 57 points 4 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #10, @Bob Carotte) (-13) Season: 8 Writers: Luke Brookshier, Marc Ceccarelli, Derek Iversen Plot: Mrs. Puff finally finds a use for SpongeBob's reckless driving and enters him in the Demolition Derby. Sooooo we begin the countdown with Demolition Doofus, one of THESE episodes I always hated ever since it was new. DD dropped 13 places compared to 2021, which is kind of a surprise to me but at the same time I get how forgettable it can be. This episode is pretty much known for Mrs. Puff being unusually aggressive to SpongeBob. I get SpongeBob failed his boating test like 3472 times but despite this Mrs. Puff always shows some support to him and tries to help him. Here she doesn't even do any positive act and even tries to kill him by sending him to the derby to crash with these tough guys. I really hate how out of character Mrs. Puff is in seasons 6-9a, she isn't supposed to hate SpongeBob but this episode in particular pisses me off because she goes way too far. It's a shame because this episode had a nice concept, but it was ruined by her. I should add that in the end, Mrs. Puff can inflate again without explanation after another crash and it's done, finished...it doesn't even make sense. 29. Jellyfishin'? What kinda tomfoolery is jellyfishin'? Trenchbillies - 60 points 3 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #4, @WinterArcanine) (-4) Season: 7 Writers: Aaron Springer, Richard Pursel Plot: SpongeBob and Patrick find themselves held prisoner by a backward gang of hillbillies. this one should have made it to the top 1 for being the gayest episode of the show smh ...right, this is a serious post Ah yes, one of the episodes from the failed Legends of Bikini Bottom special. Trenchbillies dropped 4 places which is not a big deal but it still would make a bottom 30. I almost included it on my list but decided not to. This episode is such a borefest that it's more effective than sleep medication. All SpongeBob and Patrick do is doing various activities with the rock bottom rednecks with no plot in sight, it's just all over the place. I should add that the trenchbillies designs are so unappealing and hard to look at.

  15. these are just some quick sketches i did not too long ago. i've been trying to get back into drawing, particularly cartooning, which is something i haven't regularly done for years now. sorry for smudges and un-erased lines, these pencils aren't the best. i also uploaded the BLEH one to my computer and made a digital version with my stylus (did not draw the background). i hope i can keep improving until i can draw the most perfect show-accurate pictures.

  17. Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear river. It's an ocean of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite communities, creating alternate shows from the ones you know. I am WinterArcanine. I am your guide through these vast new realities.... or at least, your guide for this specific reality. Follow me and ponder the question... "What if?" Season 2, Episode 1: What if The Security System didn’t take control of Squidward’s house? In this reality, Good Neighbors was happening exactly as normal. Spongebob and Patrick are annoying Squidward, Squidward is miserable, Zoomers are laughing their ass off, and Geek Ultimatum Network is seething. But something is different. The security system will not take control of Squidward’s house. SpongeBob: We hereby present you with this delicious cake. Squidward: "Sorry for bugging you so much"? What the...? Security system, help! Intruder alert! Intruder alert! What's the matter with you?! Security System: No threat detected. Squidward: [furious, banging on security system] Oh you infernal contraption! I'm gonna ship you off to the scrapheap you came from! Security System: THREAT DETECTED. ......... And nothing happened. Squidward was confused. “Well... are you gonna do anything?” Spongebob and Patrick were still looking at Squidward sadly. “We feel bad we ruined your Sunday”, Spongebob said, “So we made you this cake to apologize”. Squidward didn’t care, and just ignored it, still yelling at the security system. “What a fucking waste of money!!! This thing doesn’t fucking do ANYTHING!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!” He screamed in rage, as he furiously ripped the security system out of the wall and threw it out the window. Spongebob and Patrick, scared by how angry Squidward was, decided they should probably just leave. “Ok, sorry if we caused any more problems Squidward, we’ll stay away for the rest of the day”, and they went back to their houses. And that was that. That’s what happens when the security system doesn’t take control of Squidward’s house. The end! Or is it... The next day, Squidward felt grumpier than ever. It was, yet again, the beginning of the work week. Squidward already hates this time of the month-er, I mean week, and he didn’t even get to relax this Sunday! While at the Krusty Krab, he was surprised to see that the food was being made almost instantly! When Squidward got another order, this time for a Krabby Patty and a side of Kelp Fries, he noticed Spongebob said “Coming right up!” in an almost pained voice. Slightly concerned, he went into the kitchen to check how it was going, and he was shocked to see that Spongebob’s hand was in the fryer! “Spongebob! Why is your hand in the fryer?” Squidward asked him. “Oh, It’s just a quicker way to make the fries that I tried out! I move the Fries inside the fryer myself, and they get fried much quicker! Squidward was shocked. “Doesn’t that hurt?” Spongebob laughed. “It doesn’t hurt THAT much if you move your hands a bit! I read about this idea a while ago, but I never did it until now. But I felt like taking risks today.” Squidward found this strange and concerning, but thought it was just another weird Spongebob thing that wouldn’t last the day. So he was shocked to see that the next day, Spongebob was running to the Krusty Krab while on fire! “WHAT THE FUCK SPONGEBOB???” Squidward yelled at him. Spongebob simply responded “I felt like making my walk to the Krusty Krab riskier today! The fire will extinguish when I get to the Krusty Krab!” He kept making risks while cooking at the Krusty Krab too. Later that day, Mr. Krabs brought Squidward to his office. “So, I just wanted to let you know that this week is “Make Your Daughter Work Week”, so Pearl will be working here. Therefore, I have decided you can take the week off! Pearl will be taking your place.” Squidward was very excited. “Oh, thank you Mr Krabs! I can finally relax for a week!” Squidward returned back home for a relaxing week off of work. He did things like watch TV, play his Clarinet, and whatever else he wanted to do. At first, he kept feeling fearful that Spongebob and Patrick would annoy him. Eventually, he stopped worrying. He never heard anything from Spongebob or Patrick at all! Squidward didn’t even notice. He was having the best week he had in years! One day, he decided to do some errands, and went to the bank to cash in some money. To his shock, he saw Spongebob and Patrick outside of the bank in disguises, holding bags of stolen money. “Spongebob? Patrick? Did you just rob the bank!?” “Yep”, Spongebob said, “and we did it as stealthily as possible so we didn’t bother anyone”. Squidward was shocked; this seemed absurdly out of character from them. “Why did you rob the bank? You don’t even care about money!” Patrick responded “We just wanted to do something dangerous and risky!” Squidward was once again shocked by this behavior, but it didn’t dawn on him how bad it was getting until Mr. Krabs came to his door on the last day of his week off, looking extremely concerned. “I’m sorry to bother you on your week off, but do you have any idea where Spongebob is? He hasn’t come into work for days now. I tried asking Patrick, but he’s gone too”. Squidward was shocked. “What? He hasn’t went to work at all? I don’t know where he is, but he’s been acting strangely, he even robbed a bank a couple days ago.” “WHAT???” Mr Krabs exclaimed, “Has he gone insane? Squidward, I need you to find Spongebob ASAP, and bring him back to his senses! The Krusty Krab needs him! Pearl’s been going crazy having to do both of your jobs!” Normally, Squidward would refuse to do something like this, as he would prefer to enjoy his weekend off. But he was getting concerned for Spongebob himself, so he agreed. He searched for days throughout the entire planet’s oceans to try to find Spongebob and Patrick. He searched through the Great Barrier Reef, the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Hawaii, the North and South Pole, everywhere, and Squidward couldn’t find them. Eventually, he finally managed to find them at the edge of the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on the planet. He was shocked to see them there, as it was one of the most dangerous places in the entire ocean. They looked very injured, yet happy and excited. Squidward: Spongebob? Patrick? What are you two doing here? Spongebob: We were gonna jump down into the Mariana Trench! It’s gonna be SO FUN! Squidward: You’re doing WHAT? SpongeBob, that’s insanely dangerous! Spongebob: Yeah I know! Squidward: What has gotten into you two? None of you are acting like yourselves! Since when did you like doing extreme stunts like this? Patrick: We just never realized how fun it is to do these things! We love it! Squidward: But... Spongebob, this is the MARIANA TRENCH!!! It’s the largest drop in the entire world! You can’t just jump down that, you’ll die! Spongebob: So? Then there won’t be a threat anymore! Just then, it finally dawned on Squidward what had happened. Because you see, in this universe, the security system didn’t take control of Squidward’s house. It took control of Spongebob and Patrick. It felt mean, cruel, and just plain unfair of the security system to do this. All Squidward wanted was to enjoy his Sunday to himself, and deep down, he truly cared for Spongebob and Patrick, and wanted them to also be happy... Just a little less annoying. But that can never happen, can it? GAH! FUCK THIS EPISO- Squidward: Wha-SPONGEBOB! I didn’t mean that you were a threat! I just wanted some peace and quiet! Please don’t kill yourself like this! Spongebob: No Squidward. I must do this. Then I would finally have done what you wanted me to. He said this in a metallic, cold, and almost robotic voice, almost like the security system. He barely even sounded like himself. Squidward: Spongebob, PLEASE! I don’t want you to die! I never wanted any of this! Patrick: I don’t see why it matters Squidward. We’re just gonna jump down the trench and live! It’ll be the coolest thing ever! Spongebob: Yeah, It’ll be so much fun! You can watch us if you want! Squidward: Spongebob, I’m not letting you jump down! Please Spongebob....I know I don’t act like it, but I truly do like you! Sure you annoy me sometimes, but you’re so nice and happy, and you’re one of the best people I’ve ever known. I truly do like you....Please come home and be yourself again!!! Spongebob: No, Squidward. We can’t do that. We’d be so annoying and we’d be terrible neighbors. Squidward: NO YOU AREN’T! YOU TWO ARE WONDERFUL NEIGHBORS! AND START CALLING ME PRESIDENT! Spongebob: I’m sorry president, but I’ve already made up my mind. This is just too much fun to skip! Are you ready Patrick? Patrick: Yes Spongebob! And the two started to sprint over to the trench... Squidward: NOOOOOOO! And Spongebob and Patrick jumped down into the trench, as Squidward watched horribly. They zoomed down to the trench, zoomed into the darkness of the deep, their expressions deeply in excitement, clearly having the time of their life, as they rushed down to the deepest place on Earth... ...Well, I don’t know how else to put it. They died. Your favorite positive and naive nitwits from your childhood just died. Brutally. There’s no way to know how it felt, but it must have been extremely painful. Luckily, the intense darkness of the trench made it so that no one can see their dead bodies. Not that it matters, because there was nothing left of them anyway. The only good thing to say about what happened is that at least Squidward didn’t have to see their death. But regardless, he knew what had happened. He quickly teared up, and then sobbed wildly. He didn’t even have the strength to try to control himself. He had never been more upset and distraught in his entire life. The kindest, most wholesome person he even knew, as well as that person’s best friend, had just died, and it was all his fault. He didn’t know what to do now, because he had nothing. He hates his job, he hates Bikini Bottom, his two neighbors just died, and he knew he could never relax in his house ever again, knowing what he had done just to get a night’s peace. He had nothing left. What was he supposed to do now? “Hey, do you have 7 hours? We need an Octopus to help us with something." Squidward looked back in confusion at the cat and raven standing behind him.

  18. "Water, earth, fire, air." "Long ago, the 4 nations lived together in harmony..." "then... that all changed when the fire nation attacked..." Hi there, I figured this would warrant a new thread of it's own since i've not been here in... fuck, almost 6 years? I'm Zaid, a lot of people here know me (or rather my past self), a lot of you don't... I was quite cringeworthy in the past, i've changed quite a bit since then. I picked up new hobbies, new interests, crushed old ones, and learned a lot, I learned a lot about myself in those 6 years, and am doing quite well, so i figured i'd like to catch up with people here, how have you all been doing?

  19. Here's the Season 1 finale, written by Clappy: Hello. I am The Lurker. I observe all that transpires here on SBC. But I do not, can not, will not…interfere. Join me on the journey to face the unknown and ponder the question… WHAT IF!? After another silly round of internet drama led to a bunch of users reporting one another, getting suspended, making alt accounts, and eventually, banishment from the tv.com forums; two users, that70sguy92 came up with a novel concept one day on the XAT. A Proboard. “It’s the wave of the future!” 70s proclaimed. After tens of users decided to make their own proboard to compete with 70s proboard, terminoob and Clapmaster came up with an even more novel concept. A forumotion site. What shall they call it? How about The SpongeBob Community? Thus, a site was born…with only seven members. “Let’s recruit some more!” Terminoob suggested. As Clappy noblely agreed to the idea…before disappearing for a year. That’s exactly the way I, The Lurker, planned for it all to go down. Tv.com eventually died a slow but painful death as the site became more overrun with TV tome shadows and dumb persons. And SpongeBob communities and manias became the wave of the future. But I can’t help but ponder…what would have happened if these fansites didn’t take over. Episode 8: What If…TV.com Never Died? …then fan forums would have died a slow painful death. After all, one person should not dedicate their entire existence for just one fandom. I mean how dare Simpsons fans be allowed to like Family Guy. Or SpongeBob fans becoming My Little Pony fans. You’re allowed to like more than one thing. Even I, The Lurker, can tell you that. So TV.com would absolutely lead to the new multiverse that so many movie studios have ever dreamed off. Eat your heart out Sony Spider-Verse without Spider-Man. Take that Warner Bros and their “Multi-Versus”. In your face Disney….whoa slow your rolls there. I, The Lurker, respect and obey our lord and savior Mickey Mouse. TV.com became so huge that it became a virtual reality entertainment universe where you could become your favorite tv shows. Ever wanted to call Saul? Well you better since you are now a part of your favorite shows on TV.com. Want to have Friends? Well you too can get into 22 minute shenanigans with Rachel, Monica, and company. Wonder how I met your mother? Well be prepared to sit through nine years of storytelling of what basically took five minutes and one bad series finale. TV.com really came alive at the perfect time with everyone streaming everything. And to keep going ahead of the curve, the virtual reality simulator really made TV.com the best thing on the web. Users and moderators would hold each other hand by hand singing kumbaya as the report button that would consistently get abused back in the good ole days was set afire much to the malign of 66ers. Yes that would have been the life. SBC would have never existed. All these lifelong friendships you have been hearing so much about…why have small groups of friends when you could have the world? All these what if stories? Just made up by some random friends trying to have fun and make stories relevant again. TV.com would have ruled all and you would be bowing to the TV Tome Shadows and Dumb Persons of the world. And DC-Dude would have made The Underwater Voice spin-off. Just the way god intended. …… Clappy: And that does it. Mini-series over. Just the way I intended. Now I can go ride off to the sunset a second time and leave SBC for good. *suddenly a knocking in the distance* Clappy slowly approaches the door when all of a sudden, it slams open and a shadowy figure arrives and the scene fades to black. A half hour later, Clappy wakes up and the shadowy figure approaches him. ???: That’s all you got? Clappy: Yes. My one episode obligation to the group to celebrate 15 years. I have a life to live, you know. ???: You hyped this mini-series to hell as a group project and had Jjs save your ass to make this happen like he always does. You owe that man so many debts of gratitude. Clappy: Well he is one of the few reasons I still stick around after all these years along with others. It’s the least I can do. ???: The least you can do? Why don’t you just leave like the rest and move on. If this is the best you got. A short mini-series when you have fifteen years of stories to tell and you cop out with eight. Clappy: …that is true. We’ve got stories for years. What if SOF turns into a robot? What if 4EverGreen gets a cellphone? ???: Then put your money where your mouth is. Renew this for a second season. Clappy: Eh what the hell. If that’s what the fans want. ??? then comes out of the shadows looking like Mr Enter does with the dumb trenchcoat but still mysterious looking figure. Lurker: Yes, it is. -------------- Due to the success so far, we will make this a recurring work instead of a miniseries. Season 2 will come later this year, stay tuned!

  20. 24. "The king is bad, the king's to blame, he hangs his kingly head in shame" Dunces and Dragons - 118 points 6 of 35 lists, (Highest ranking #1, @ThePickleMan) (+14) Season: 4 Writers: Zeus Cervas, Erik Wiese, and Tim Hill Plot: SpongeBob and Patrick end up in the Middle Ages, and have to go on a quest to defeat Planktonamor It’s nice to see this episode bounce back from its big fall last time. While it wasn’t on my list, it was close to it, being on my top 25. This is one of the funniest specials of the series; SpongeBob and Patrick going back in time to the medieval era is a concept that’s bound to create plenty of great jokes, as well as a fun adventure. It’s fun to see versions of all the SpongeBob characters in the medieval era; especially Squidly, he’s so funny. A jester version of Squidward is a funny idea, and all his songs are funny. Plankton being an evil Wizard who’s trying to take over the world is really cool as well. The final battle is cool, Medieval Sandy is cool, and there’s a lot of funny moments as well. I love how there’s a guillotine in this episode too; it’s not something you’d expect to see in SpongeBob, but it’s here. Overall, this is a very cool and funny episode in a great environment, and I’m glad to see it on the list. 23. "This kitchen's not the same without you" Welcome to the Chum Bucket - 126 points 6 of 35 lists (Highest ranking #1, @So Sejima) (-2) Season: 2 Writers: Walt Dohrn, Paul Tibbitt, and Doug Lawrence Plot: SpongeBob is forced to work at the Chum Bucket. I love this episode and I’m always glad to see it make the list. This is the first episode so far to be on my list; this episode was #7 on my list. The song in this episode is just amazing; It sounds fantastic, and the lyrics are genuinely sad. The whole beginning is pretty sad in general; Mr. Krabs lets his ego get to him a bit too much, and it causes SpongeBob to have to work at the Chum Bucket, which makes both of them very sad. Then in the second half, the episode becomes absolutely hilarious. SpongeBob won’t make patties unless Plankton makes him feel better, but when he tries being nice to him, he suddenly turns into a spoiled brat and just won’t make a Krabby Patty because he doesn’t feel like it. It’s really funny, and then Plankton putting SpongeBob’s brain into a robot only for the robot to then act the same way and refuse to make a Krabby Patty is absolutely hilarious. SpongeBob returning to the Krusty Krab simply because SpongeBob was such a pain in the ass for him to deal with is very funny (also of course Plankton just cheated to get him anyway, lol). This is a fantastic episode that has both good emotion and an amazing song, and great comedy, and it’s one of my favorite episodes of the show.

  21. 26. "Robert bathtoys?!?!" Naughty Nautical Neighbors - 104 points 6 of 35 lists (Highest ranking #4, @ThePickleMan) (+26) Season: 1 Writers: Sherm Cohen, Aaron Springer, and Doug Lawrence Plot: Squidward destroys SpongeBob and Patrick's friendship, but they soon begin fighting over him. Honestly, this episode making it onto the list kinda baffled me. Most of this list are great and popular episodes, but this is an episode that I always looked at as a random weaker season 1 episode. But, this is actually one of the more popular ones. This is one of the first episodes of the series to show the dynamic between SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick, while putting a humorous spin on it. SpongeBob and Patrick hating each other and fighting over who gets to be Squidward’s best friend is amusing. It’s even funnier from Squidward’s perspective; he tricked SpongeBob and Patrick into hating each other because they were annoying him, but they’re just annoying him even more. I also love the “gang’s all here” joke and Patrick instantly falling asleep when Squidward starts playing his clarinet, as well as suddenly appearing in his bathtub. Overall, while I can’t say I fully agree with this episode being on the list, I get why it’s here. Also, interesting fun fact: This is the first time Naughty Nautical Neighbors has made the top 50, let alone the top 30, and therefore also the only time it's made it onto a list outside of HMs. 25. EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION OH NO!!! No Free Rides - 111 points 6 of 35 lists (Highest ranking #2, @Wumbo@RD Rockruff@Klu) (+19) Season: 2 Writers: Aaron Springer, C.H. Greenblatt, and Doug Lawrence Plot: Mrs. Puff passes SpongeBob just so she doesn't have to deal with him. Honestly, I used to consider this episode overrated and thought it was just pretty good. As time went on however, I realized how good this episode truly is. This episode basically has two extremely funny halves to it. The first half has Mrs. Puff basically giving SpongeBob a license for free by only requiring SpongeBob to write a couple words about what he’s learned in boating school, and yet SpongeBob is STILL not able to complete it and goes insane over it, all while Mrs. Puff desperately wants SpongeBob to just do it so she can pass SpongeBob and give him a license. It’s such a hilarious sequence. And then the second half involves Mrs Puff trying to steal SpongeBob’s car, while SpongeBob tries to stop her. This half is just hilarious joke after hilarious joke after hilarious joke, with many hilarious moments like SpongeBob being the car’s radio and SpongeBob getting hit by traps, including EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION OH NO!!! While this episode wasn’t on my list, It’s still nice to see it here.

  22. 4. Excuse me, large lady. I'm a widdle girl who's misplaced herself. Can you help find me? I'm pwetty! The Nitwitting - 237 points 13 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #2, @WhoBibbles @So Sejima) (+7) Season: 12 Writer: Kaz Plot: Patrick inducts SpongeBob into his prestigious society of dullards and doofuses. Another post-sequel episode that is at the very bottom, also written by Kaz (it's his seasonal infamous episode in season 12). It wasn't even in the bottom 10 in 2021 and now it's 7 places higher at #4. Anyways, I always knew this episode was gonna suck ever since I read the plot. I don't want to see another episode about dumbing down characters because it will never work. I'd say this is the episode that compiles ALL of post-sequel's flaws and the argument from SB twitter "post-sequel is too exaggerated and there is no plot" is valid. This episode is just basically the nitwit club having literally a brainless behaviour and doing stupid activities which is very boring and cringe. Just like Ink Lemonade, it has a lot of gross-out that is too uncomfortable to watch. It feels more like a Canadian cartoon more than SpongeBob. It's such a mess of an episode that goes all over the place. 3. Well, I hate the smell of burning Krabby Patties even more. SpongeBob You're Fired - 269 points 12 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #1, @SquiddyFace @WhoBibbles @dmandagiraffe) (-2) Season: 9 Writers: Marc Ceccarelli, Luke Brookshier, Doug Lawrence Plot: Mr. Krabs fires SpongeBob to save a nickel, so SpongeBob must find work at other restaurants. And here we are, SBYF lost its #1 spot this year and now it's down to #3. From all the specials in the show, this is absolutely the worst one. I hate it even more after hearing the history behind it: you guessed it, it was mandated by Nick. So they make Mr. Krabs fire SpongeBob in the dumbest way possible (he never deserves to be fired so what's the point?) to save a fucking nickel. Then SpongeBob proceeds to cry for 2 whole minutes and make it as annoying as possible. After boring minutes of SpongeBob being miserable unemployed (and Patrick not helping with the fun-employment thing) he looks for new jobs and gets fired everytime because he can only make Krabby Patties, isn't that funny??? It just feels really forced as you can tell Nick made the crew write this mess...it's the most pointless special you'll ever see knowing SpongeBob is always a hard worker so why have a reason to fire him? It can work as a little joke in an episode but not as a 22-minute special!!!

  23. Can you feel that? You better hold on. This one's about to get rocky. Nearly four years ago, we waved goodbye to SpongeCraft, our classic creative Minecraft server, after several years of operating as our flagship gaming hub. Now, after nearly a year in the works... SpongeCraft is returning with a vengeance, and in a form like never before. In this game of survival, players will take a nearly 500-foot leap of faith directly into the world of the Frontierlands, a diverse, rich land of unusual formations and proportions. After making their way out of the Landing, it will be up to players and their skills to survive, thrive, and improvise in this uncharted world of pillars, mountains, and plains. Just as with classic SpongeCraft before it, Frontiers will be operating for the foreseeable future using the 1.12.2 1.14.4 version of Minecraft, with ViaVersion allowing it to be backwards-compatible with newer clients. Also keeping with tradition, this is an offline server, meaning that players without Minecraft accounts will be able to join in on the adventure as well! We will officially hold the grand opening to the Frontiers tomorrow, July 4th, at 8:00 PM Eastern time. We hope you will be there to begin a new journey into the unknown!

  26. It's that time of the year again: SBC's birthday! Today marks SBC's 13th year of existence! It's truly amazing how this community continues to live on in various ways, whether through the Discord, forums or both. Forums as a concept are long past their glory days but it's still heartwarming to see people still wanting to contribute to them when they can, which means a lot to the staff. We've also reached the point where SBC has outlived tv.com, its originator, which is surreal to think about. Also, the Better Call Saul finale airs today so we're blessed to have that honor too.

  29. This story is much in line with the Wario the idea concept. This is relevant because I have never actually watched a Pieguyrulz video, but I know of him; I know of him as a concept, as an idea. I UNDERSTAND Pieguy, and this story is a representation of him as an idea and a concept. Pie Guy the idea and Pie Guy the person, I'm sure, are different, but this is about Pie Guy the idea. Episode 13: What If... Pieguy Wrote SpongeBob? We open on a normal episode of SpongeBob Spongebob: Hey, Patrick! Wanna go jellyfishing? Patrick: Oh, I'd love to SpongeBob, but I can't… SpongeBob: Why not? Patrick: I broke my net, see? [shows SpongeBob his broken Net] SpongeBob: i guess missing one day of jellyfishing isn't such a bad thing [hands Patrick his net] you can borrow mine Patrick: Yay!! Thanks Spongebob [hugs Spongebob very tightly] We pan out showing the TV screen, then turn around to reveal PieguyRulz watching the episode Pie: UGH! [Throws Remote into the TV shattering it] IT’S ALL SCUMBOB! [stands up and looks out of the window] They can't keep getting away with this! Someone has to stop them! Something needs to be do- Before he could finish speaking a book falls out of the sky and onto his head Pie: What’s this? It’s a book. The first page reads ‘’What you write in here becomes reality; use with caution’’ Pie: oh this is too perfect! WITH THIS I CAN FIX SPONGEBOB! I CAN REVERSE SCUMBOB! AND SAVE STEVEN’S LEGACY! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA! Pie Guys conscience: you could also like…cure cancer Pie: Shut up! Pie begins rewriting the show, and removing all the aspects of post movie that he deems ‘’terrible’’ (giggling through every new line he writes) Pie: it is done….[smiles] We cut back to the tv to the now remade SpongeBob Squarepants Spongebob: Why hello there, Patrick? May I inquire as to what you have planned on this fine day? Patrick: Nothing much, Mr. Robert, but i may be interested in a walk in the park, that is of course if you’d be interested in joining me Spongebob: Of course Squidward exits his house Spongebob and Patrick: Morning, Mr Squidward Squidward: Good morning, gentlemen. I must say that seeing you both standing on the sand alone like that has left me quite dejected. Why don't you both join me for a walk in the park? SpongeBob: What a humorous coincidence! We were just heading there as well. Squidward: Very well, then. Meanwhile at the recording studio Clancy Brown: Excuse me Andrea Romano: Yes? Clancy Brown: Who are you getting to write these lines? Andrea Romano: One of our superfans ‘’PieguyRulz’’ Clancy freezes as he catches the thousand-yard stare…he’s seen this once before with the infamous ‘’Mr Enter’’ Tom approaches Clancy but is stopped by Rodger Bumpass Rodger Bumpass: There’s nothing we can do for him right now Tom Kenny: We can't keep on recording with him like this Rodger Bumpass: who said anything about recording Bumpass pulls out a box with two rings Rodger: put these on They both put on the ring and turn into their cartoon counterparts Kennybob and Squidass…squid always ends up with the lousy names (They transform in the same vein as SOW) KennyBob: Let’s go crush that pie Minutes Later Ext: Pieguy’s house They both knock on the door Pie opens the door and is frightened by the sight of the two cartoon characters standing at his doorway Squidass: What the fuck is this [Holds the script in Pie’s face] Pie runs across into his house but is ultimately cornered by the two Pieguyrulz: what’re you gonna do? Pour hot oil on me, Or put bamboo shoots under my nails?! KennyBob: Worse [devilish smile] Squidass gets closer to pieguy’s face and utters the dreaded words Squidass: Spongehe e e enge….. [the words fly out of Squidass’ mouth and into Pie’s ear] He shrieks Pie: Stop! Stop! I beg of you!!! Kennybob joins in Kennybob: Smooth Jazz in bikini bottom Pie: What’s so scary about that? Kenny Smiles Kennybob: Patrick eating Squidward’s pass… Pie faints Hours later he starts to wake up, he’s in a hospital bed, surrounded by all the VAs Pie: where am i? Tom Kenny: You passed out after we mentioned episodes you hated Rodger Bumpass: we might’ve gone a bit too hard on you [regretful] Clancy Brown: so to apologize we got you this gift [hands him a gift bag] Pie: for me? You shouldn't have [places his hand in the gift bag and senses….The S7 DVD] Cut to a gravestone. R.I.P PieguyRulz The end

  30. Ah...TheMysteriousMrEnter. He's somewhat considered an outcast among animation critics and the internet as a whole, yet somehow he still has an influence on SpongeBob discussion to this day, albeit in some of the least admirable (hehe) ways possible. You'd think given such a reputation he'd want to leave that part of his past behind, but the truth is he is Among Us! Or at least he could be. Meh, probably not. But it's fun to think about the hilarious shitstorm that universe would be. It's fun to imagine...What If...? Episode 10: What If...Mr. Enter Joined SBC? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Thread: 128b. Stuck In The Wringer. A new post appears.] MystifyingEntryway: To this day, I still loathe this episode. I would beat the everloving shit out of Patrick if I could. The one thing I liked was when SpongeBob and Squidward made love in the ordering boat, but that's it. Atrocious. jjs: agreed WhoBob: oh no Slug: Godly way to bump a topic. sbl: Looks like someone's a decade behind the times! Hawk: Next you'll be telling us about how the moral is rancid and the background fish are assholes. MystifyingEntryway: Both are true. Everyone is so mean-spirited towards SpongeBob for no reason. I wish I could jump through the screen and murder those fish telling off SpongeBob. Also, crying to solve your problems CLEARLY isn't a moral you should be teaching to children. I cannot express enough how much I despise those writers. Hawk: ...speak of the devil. Winter: Let's see... thinks episode is mean-spirited wants to kill fictional characters insults the staff He's checking off every box so far Carotte: this episode's not good and all, everyone knows, but can we not insult the writers of the show please? MystifyingEntryway: They need to pay for their crimes immediately. Impalement sounds like a fitting punishment. I will see to it myself if necessary. Carotte: ok you are getting too fat Slug: Aaaand with that we've officially entered violent shitshow territory. SOF: this isnt funny dude... Winter: Hey, you should join SBM! There you can threaten the crew all you want, and the admins will do nothing! jjs: as for here, you get one last chance before you're out MystifyingEntryway: I was going to make an account on SpongeBuddy Mania originally, but I noticed a severe lack of discussion on the September 11 attacks, despite the site being launched only three years after. It felt very ignorant of the time, so I changed my mind. SOF: bruh Wumbo: what in the living HELL does 9/11 have to do with a spongebob fansite Prez: spongebob did 9/11 Wumbo: true I forgot about that salmon: hey uh, do we think it's possible that this "mystic entry" guy here could be, i don't know...mr. enter??? MystifyingEntryway: Fuck you. jjs: see ya later bran flakes [MystifyingEntryway is banned for being stupid.] dman: so are we all just gonna ignore that he enjoys the spongebob and squidward sex scene ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After his exile from SBC, an enraged Enter decides to start a new series on his channel. In the first (and only) episode of Online Outrages, he plays the victim by crying and screaming for 20 minutes about how he was mistreated by SBC, but the internet does not hear him out. The video unexpectedly goes viral, becoming one of the most disliked on all of YouTube right behind the baby shark dance, and also becoming a great source of ridicule for about three weeks. Simultaneously, SBC traffic explodes as several new users join to make fun of Enter's posts, with the Stuck in the Wringer topic gaining millions of views and eventually becoming the most viewed in the site's history. Enter's social status degrades from outcast to pariah overnight, resulting in him never uploading anything to YouTube again and going completely silent on all his accounts. To this day, no one knows where Mr. Enter is. Whether he's finally taking a hint and going off the grid or just hiding behind another pseudonym, all that matters is his channel is dead and SBC is thriving. Although, I will admit, he may have been right about one thing...I guess crying doesn't solve your problems after all!

  32. Episode 7: What If Prez Was The President of the USA Our story starts with the SBC gang resting next to a campfire in a post-apocalyptic America. Meko1432: I just don't get it. One minute he's hanging out on Discord chatting about music, and the next he's president of the USA, setting a bounty on Garrett's head! Hawk: i didnt vote for 'em Whobob: i'm surprised by how quickly he bailed on us a bounty hunter approaches them Hunter Joe: do you know a man that goes by the name 'garret' JJs: yeah sure! He's right over there, by that tree [points at a bush in the distance] Hunter Joe: thanks [pulls out his flame thrower] Garret: NO NOOO AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Meko1432: You think Prez still thinks about us from time to time? JJs: why dont we go find out Hawk: but where would we find him? Meko1432: What a silly question, haha! We'll find him where we would find any other president. in the White House! the home of every president Hawk: i dont think they actually live in the white house JJs: sure they do [cut to them in the white house] Hawk: what's with all the doors Meko1432: it's the presidents' rooms, duh! Hawk: Meko, there's no such thing! Meko1432: sure there is! Hawk: So you're telling me that if I open this door, there will be a president? Meko1432: i'm betting on it [Hawk opens the door and spots president obama holding a chaos emerald] Obama: you've caught me at a very unfortunate time, now you must perish! [hawk closes the door quickly] Whobob (shouting): hey guys! i think i found prez' room! JJs: way to go, who! lets go in [they rush in] Prez: What're you guys doing here? It better be quick; I've gotta bomb Garrett at 6. Whobob: we just came to chat about..............you know Prez: what? oh! isnt it wild! one minute i'm talking about music to y'all and the next i'm president of the USA planning to bomb Garrett Hawk: that's literally what Meko just said Prez: you guys wanna see my 'annoy Garrett' button JJs: sure! but make it quick, this story's running a little long The End

  33. 4. "What could be worse than a giant paint bubble?!" Wet Painters - 305 points 16 of 35 lists (Highest placement #1, @OWM) (+1) Season: 3 Writers: C.H. Greenblatt, Kaz, and Mark O’Hare Plot: SpongeBob and Patrick paint the inside of Mr. Krabs’s house. This is another hilarious season 3 episode that I’m happy to see on the list. This episode takes a simple concept of SpongeBob and Patrick painting Mr Krab’s house, and getting some paint on a dollar (which was a hilariously small amount of paint), and makes it absolutely hilarious. SpongeBob trying so hard to avoid getting paint onto anything, while Patrick just doesn’t care, results in some really hilarious moments. SpongeBob somehow creating a huge paint bubble, and then Patrick creating a second one, and then making the combined bubble bigger, is hilarious, and the fact that its explosion results in just a single drop of paint on a single item, while painting the rest of the wall perfectly, even making small details, is hilarious. SpongeBob and Patrick trying so many ways to get the paint off of the dollar is so funny; my absolute favorite part of this is when they get the idea to just replace the dollar with any other dollar, and then Patrick just spends it on the candy vending machine that Mr. Krabs has for whatever reason. The fact that the dollar keeps not staying in, giving Patrick more times to fix his mistake while SpongeBob yells at him to take the dollar out, only for Patrick to keep trying anyway and eventually spending the dollar, is so funny. The episode does the same type of joke at the end too, when Mr. Krabs keeps getting seemingly mad at something only for it to turn out that he just saw something unrelated. This episode is hilarious, and I’m glad to see it on the list. 3. "That's two things in this house that won't work." Can You Spare a Dime? - 312 points 13 of 35 lists (Highest placement #1, @President Squidward@Yummylesecond@sbl) (+11) Season: 3 Writers: Jay Lender, Sam Henderson, and Merriwether Williams Plot: Squidward quits his job and stays at SpongeBob's house. This episode is one of the funniest episodes of the entire series, to the point where I had it as #5 on my list. Squidward becoming jobless and having to stay at Spongebob’s house, and then refusing to work at all and becomes extremely rude and annoying, is absolutely hilarious. Even funnier is how much this drives SpongeBob insane; It’s very rare that SpongeBob becomes genuinely angry, let alone angry at Squidward, but that’s what happens in this episode. The title card saying Squidward stays for so long that the old narrator got tired of waiting and they had to hire a new one is hilarious. All the stuff Squidward forces SpongeBob to do is so funny, especially forcing SpongeBob to wear a maid outfit. And SpongeBob’s attempts at hinting to Squidward that he needs to get a job is even funnier. Putting on a puppet show about getting a job, making alphabet soup that says “GET A JOB”, and “Hmm, that’s two things in this house that won’t work”. Seeing SpongeBob be so pissed off at someone, especially Squidward, is always really funny to see, and I also find it so funny how, after so many obvious hints, Squidward only figures out that Spongebob is hinting at something, but not even that it’s to get a job. And then SpongeBob finally reaching his breaking point and going up to Mr Krabs to fucking CHOKE him in anger about him firing Squidward is absolutely hilarious. I think this episode making it all the way up to #3 this year is my favorite thing about this list, this episode deserves such a high ranking so much. It’s such a hilarious episode, I’m so glad it made it all the way up here.

  34. 10. "Who wants a Krabby Patty at 3 in the morning?!" Graveyard Shift - 215 points 12 of 35 lists (Highest placement #3, @Meko1432@Yummylesecond) (+1) Season: 2 Writers: Doug Lawrence, Jay Lender, and Dan Povenmire Plot: SpongeBob and Squidward work the night shift. This is another classic and fantastic episode, and a great way to begin the top 10. The spooky atmosphere of this episode, taking place in the middle of the night, is fantastic, and really helps make the episode seem creepier. The story of the Hash Slinging Slasher is very funny, but the best thing about it is how it looks like it’s actually happening, despite Squidward simply making it up. The lights flickering on and off, then the phone ringing with no one there, the walls oozing green slime (oh wait they always do that), and then the bus dropping off a scary-looking figure with a spatula hand, is so funny, and the explanation for what was actually happening is very funny (especially the light flickering just being Nosferatu, who’s just treated like a common appearance despite literally never appearing before). Spongebob being so terrified to throw out the trash at night is also very funny, and I like how he keeps eating his hands while Squidward tells his story. The one thing I don’t like about the episode is SpongeBob’s screaming after Squidward finishes the story, which is honestly really annoying, but everything else about this episode is fantastic, and I’m glad it made it onto the list. 9. "I guess he just doesn't like you!" "Pretend to be somebody else!" The Camping Episode - 244 points 12 of 35 lists (Highest placement #1, @Clappy) (-1) Season: 3 Writers: Jay Lender, Sam Henderson, and Merriwether Williams Plot: SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward go camping This is one of many hilarious season 3 episodes that I’m glad to see on the list. This episode is absolutely hilarious. Moments like the campfire song song, Patrick blowing marshmallows on Squidward, and Squidward failing to set up a tent are very funny, but the absolute best part of the episode is when Squidward Gets Mauled. Squidward doing all of the silly and random stuff to attract and anger a Sea Bear is really funny, and him getting attacked because of it is very funny karma. The fact that the Bear can’t attack anyone inside a drawn circle in the ground is really funny and makes literally no sense, and Squidward getting repeatedly getting attacked by the bear for stupid stuff is hilarious, especially when he didn’t even do anything and Spongebob just says “I don’t know, I guess he just doesn’t like you”. All of this could have just been avoided if Squidward didn’t feel so offended and challenged by Spongebob simply telling him to have a fun night indoors, when that was clearly not his intention. Overall, this episode is just hilarious, especially the sea bear moments.

  35. 16. "We shall never deny a guest, not even the most ridiculous request" Krusty Towers - 164 points 9 of 35 lists (Highest placement #3, @Clappy) (+3) Season: 4 Writers: Luke Brookshier, Tom King and Steven Banks Plot: Mr. Krabs turns the Krusty Krab into a hotel. This episode was constantly competing with Fear of a Krabby Patty for which one would be the higher Season 4 episode throughout the entire existence of this list. Seriously, it switched around constantly, and they were usually right next to each other too. Krusty Towers ended up just barely winning in the end. This episode is so hilarious, and is one of the most popular episodes after the first three seasons. Both halves of the episode are hilarious in different ways. The first half is hilarious because of what Squidward has to do as an employee at the hotel. The employee elevator just being a flight of stairs is absolutely hilarious. Squidward having to do the dumbest shit for Patrick like carrying his suitcases full of rocks up all the stairs and giving him a bubble bath, because “We shall never deny a guest, not even the most ridiculous request!” is hilarious. And then Squidward flips the whole thing around by quitting and returning as a guest, and forcing Mr Krabs and SpongeBob to do stupid shit for him instead, such as repainting the room like ten times before bringing it back to how it was before. The whole fake out sequence with Squidward’s grandma is absolutely hilarious. This episode was on my list at #15, because of how hilarious it is. I’m very glad to see it so high on the list. 15. "There's never been any ice, ice is just a myth!" Nasty Patty - 170 points 10 of 35 lists (Highest placement #4, @So Sejima @Yummylesecond) (-5) Season: 3 Writers: Paul Tibbitt, Kaz, and Mark O’Hare Plot: SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs think they murdered the health inspector The fact that a SpongeBob episode involves SpongeBob and Mr Krabs thinking they murdered a health inspector is so funny. You would never expect that from a Nickelodeon show. But this is Spongebob, they do things like that. The fact that they make a terrible patty for the health inspector, thinking he was an imposter, only to realize that wasn’t the fake inspector, is very funny. The thing that makes this absolutely hilarious though, is that the police come in. Right when they finish burying the body, the police suddenly appear in the middle of nowhere. Spongebob and Mr Krabs having to hide that they killed someone and hid the body is hilarious, and the body returning from the ground and therefore being in the trunk of the police car and they have to hide the body again somehow, makes it even funnier. Then Spongebob and Mr Krabs going crazy when the police try to enter the freezer where the body is, saying things like ice being a myth, and then finally admitting to it but then also blaming the other for it, is hilarious, and my favorite part of the episode. Overall, this episode deserves to make the list for having such a hilarious concept and so many funny jokes.

  36. 18. "Squidward, the robots are running the Navy!" Krab Borg - 150 points 9 of 35 lists (Highest placement #3, @BenPaz) (+10) Season: 3 Writers: Paul Tibbitt, Kent Osborne, and Mark O’Hare Plot: SpongeBob and Squidward think Mr. Krabs is a robot. For some reason, I used to consider this episode overrated. And I was wrong about that, this episode is fantastic. This episode is so hilarious. It’s already really funny seeing SpongeBob somehow think Mr Krabs is a robot, while Squidward is trying to show SpongeBob how ridiculous it is to think Mr Krabs is a robot. But then when Squidward also becomes convinced? That’s the cherry on top. Seeing SpongeBob and Squidward both think Mr Krabs is a robot is so funny, and their interrogation of “robot” Krabs is hilarious. Squidward destroying Mr Krab’s items to get him to reveal he’s a robot is really funny, and the cash register being what causes him to finally show emotion is funny. I also love how it turns out the ending to the movie that got Spongebob so scared of robots was just that the robots were their imagination. It’s also funny how everytime Spongebob thinks of a robot trait, Mr Krabs suddenly appears to have it, and seeing what was actually happening makes it even funnier. Ultimately, Robot Krabs never hugged you, and that is rather sad, but you can hug yourself during your break. NOW GET BACK TO WORK!!! 17. "Anyone know how many days it’s been, I lost track" Fear of a Krabby Patty - 156 points 8 of 35 lists (Highest placement #1, @Steel Sponge) (+14) Season: 4 Writers: C.H. Greenblatt and Paul Tibbitt Plot: SpongeBob becomes afraid of Krabby Patties. It’s a common misconception among people who watched the show as a kid and aren’t in the fanbase that every episode (except maybe Krusty Towers) after the first movie is a bad episode. And this episode instantly proves that wrong. It’s the very first post-movie episode, and it's great. Plankton’s plan being to make SpongeBob go so insane from sleep deprivation that he becomes terrified of Krabby Patties is very interesting, and it’s funny to see SpongeBob see everyone as a Krabby Patty. There’s so many funny jokes in this episode, like the old man just randomly floating around and being confused, and Spongebob somehow getting a piano to fall on Plankton multiple times. The dream sequence at the end is also very cool, and it’s funny that the Krabby Patty there is actually nice. This is one of many great season 4 episodes.

  37. 20. "You doodle! Me SpongeBob!" Frankendoodle - 145 points 8 of 35 lists (Highest placement #3, @NegiSpongie@CDCB) (-5) Season: 2 Writers: Walt Dohrn, Paul Tibbitt, and Merriwether Williams Plot: SpongeBob creates the evil DoodleBob. This was on my list at #9. The concept of a pencil from above the ocean becoming magical underwater is very neat. It's interesting to see what the pencil can make underwater, particularly Doodlebob. Doodlebob is the thing that makes me love this episode so much. He’s such a silly and funny character. This magical doodle of Spongebob just being an insane psychopath that speaks funny gibberish is hilarious and makes for a great Spongebob villain. He’s honestly one of my favorite characters of the series despite being in like three episodes. He’s just such a funny character, his gibberish is funny and he has a bunch of other funny moments too like beating up Squidward. There’s a whole bunch of other good jokes in this episode too, such as FINLAND and “take it easy, it’s just a drawing”. The artist at sea is also funny. He gives an important moral that all children need; if you go to the middle of the ocean to draw, you need to make sure you bring a spare pencil. This is a classic Spongebob episode, and I’m very glad to see this episode make the list again. 19. "Everything is chrome in the future!" SB-129 - 147 points 9 of 35 lists (Highest placement #1, @WhoBibbles) (-3) Season: 1 Writers: Aaron Springer, Erik Wiese, and Doug Lawrence Plot: Squidward accidentally freezes himself, sending him to the far future This is my favorite episode of Season 1, so I’m glad it made the list. It was #11 on my list. This is such a cool episode with fun time travel shenanigans. Everything being chrome in the future is iconic, and Squidward’s reaction to all the changes in the future is very funny. The past sequence is also funny, and it’s funny to see Spongebob and Patrick as ancient gorilla-like beings. The fact that Squidward accidentally invents jellyfishing by showing it to them is also very funny. But the absolute best part of the episode is the third section. The trippiness and eerieness of the blank white void, with absolutely nothing there, is very cool and interesting, and the sudden ALONEs that appear when Squidward lays down to relax by himself adds to the vibe. Squidward eventually realizing how scary the idea of being completely alone with just him and his clarinet for the rest of his life and becoming desperate to just return home is very cool as well. Overall, this is a very cool and unique episode with plenty of cool locations.

  38. 28. "At least I'm safe inside my mind" Big Pink Loser - 103 points 5 of 35 lists (Highest ranking #1, @PatBack) (+12) Season: 2 Writers: Jay Lender, William Reiss, and Merriwether Williams Plot: Patrick acts like SpongeBob to get his own award. This is one of Patrick’s funniest and most iconic episodes, so it’s good to see it on the list. This episode is just full of funny Patrick moments. Patrick struggling to do anything right at the Krusty Krab is so funny. Between “THIS IS PATRICK!”, and him struggling to open a jar, it’s so funny to watch, and then Patrick mimicking SpongeBob in the latter half of the episode is also really funny. It’s funny to see Patrick even imitate things like hitting his head with a hammer, burning his hand, and somehow even managing to read SpongeBob’s mind (and SpongeBob also read Patrick’s mind…..). He even mimics SpongeBob's house! This is also pretty interesting from a characterization perspective too; Patrick is really sad that he hasn't done anything worth getting an award for, and he eventually feels that the only way for him to get one is to pretend to be somebody else, which is kinda sad when you think about it. And for that reason, it's nice to see him get an award in the end, even if it was for literally doing nothing. This is one of Patrick’s star () episodes, and this episode is just full of hilarious Patrick moments. 27. "Ravioli, ravioli, give me the formuoli" Imitation Krabs - 103 points 6 of 35 lists (Highest ranking #2, @El Jacko @So Sejima) (+5) Season: 2 Writers: Walt Dohrn, Paul Tibbitt, and Doug Lawrence Plot: Plankton disguises himself as a robot version of Mr. Krabs. Imitation Krabs is another funny season 2 episode to make it onto the list today. Nickelodeon didn’t submit a list, but if they did, this probably would’ve been on it considering they did THREE separate episodes with a similar concept in season 7. It’s so silly that Plankton’s dumb plan to just make a robot of Mr Krabs and ask SpongeBob what the formula is somehow manages to almost work. It’s clearly a robot, but somehow SpongeBob falls for it anyway. The amount of things that need to be done to say the secret formula is also funny. The highlight of the episode however, is when SpongeBob has to figure out who is the real Mr. Krabs. It’s so funny to see Plankton somehow manage to convince SpongeBob that he is the real Mr. Krabs, and that the real Mr. Krabs somehow convinces SpongeBob less. Then the fact that Plankton loses because he just has a penny self-destruct slot for no reason is so funny. I also like how Mr. Krab’s punishment is to just be eaten by Hans lol.

  39. GREETINGS COMRADES! So it's been 3 years (!!!) since the last time we did this and to celebrate the sponge man's 25th anniversary we're bringing this tradition back and your favourite carrot will be the host! There are a few changes compared to other editions, and one of them, as you can see in the title, is that we're doing 30 episodes instead of 50! Many of you know how this works but if you're new don't worry, it's easy. All you have to do is DM me your 15 LEAST favourite SpongeBob episodes on Discord (i prefer this way cuz i'm a lot more active there) but if you prefer or don't have a Discord account you can PM me your list here on SBC. Also, please send me your list in descending order (which means you start with #15 and end at #1, your worst episode) so that I can count points more easily on my excel sheet. If you need to change your list after you've sent it, please tell me right away!!! I don't accept more lists or changes after the deadline!!! Oh yeah speaking of that, the deadline is MAY 8TH at 11:59:59 pm EST!!!! I will be like a college professor and not accept lists even a second late Anyways, have fun!!!

  40. 6. Sigh, remember the day Sandy and I got maaarrrrriiiiiiiied? Truth or Square - 199 points 9 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #1, @Less_SpongeBob @Honest Slug) (-1) Season: 6 Writers: Luke Brookshier, Nate Cash, Steven Banks, Paul Tibbitt Plot: During a Krusty Krab anniversary celebration, SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs accidentally get locked in the freezer. The first of my many complains about TOS is...why did this even need to be TV movie if you're going to add extremely boring Patchy segments for about half the episode??? Good thing there is a 22-minute version that skips the Patchy segments (and the episode doesn't change at all) but the SpongeBob segments are not any better. Most of the flashbacks by themselves are not bad but the episode itself is just filler, filler and more filler...they are just sitting there in the vents and there is a flashback every 10 minutes which is surrounded by unnecessary or stupid scenes. This episode is also soooo lazy with reused animation (exact same footage of Plankton falling in the vents 3 times) and voice recordings (OWIE OW OW). Speaking of Plankton why the fuck is he even there? He contributes nothing and could easily be removed from this episode and not change a thing. This doesn't even feel like a special at all, just filler dragged out for 50 whole minutes. Also, what does eleventy-seventy even mean??? Couldn't they have used an existing number??? 5. Source? We love the source! Ink Lemonade - 217 points 12 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #1, @OWM) (-1) Season: 11 Writer: Kaz Plot: Patrick's lemonade stand is unsuccessful until he gets a secret ingredient from Squidward. Ah yes, the first post-sequel episode on this bottom list and it's pretty low at #5. During this good era I was surprised to see such a horrible episode, I couldn't believe it at first. I remember when we used to joke about Time of the Month but the actual thing killed the meme for me. Only thing I can praise about this episode is the top notch animation but the rest is just uncomfortable to watch. Why did they come up with the idea of Squidward's ink being an ingredient for lemonade? And most importantly, why is this episode so uncharacteristically gross? Did we really need to see Patrick's internal organs or spiders coming out of Squidward's mouth? I don't like to use the term "Squidward torture" unironically but here it's unfortunately nearly true. We have a 2 minute sequence of Patrick scaring Squidward to death for the sole purpose of getting his ink. I get some people find enjoyment out of it but this is just not for me.

  41. 8. Two words, SpongeBob... "na" "chos" Smoothe Jazz at Bikini Bottom - 185 points 11 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #5, @CakeCup @dmandagiraffe @Coffee_lover) (+2) Season: 8 Writers: Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Richard Pursel Plot: SpongeBob and Squidward attend Kelpy G's concert. I'm kinda surprised this episode made the bottom 10 (and even jumped 2 places) even when I took Smoothe out of my bottom 15. Like many episodes on this list, I hate it but not enough to warrant a bottom 15. However, this is one of the worst examples of wasted potential because SpongeBob and Squidward attending a concert together was a cool idea but the final product is such a mess. Tbh the first half isn't that bad but I'd say it's still boring. The 2nd half, or to be exact, when Patrick appeared is when it all went more downhill than it was. What was the point of him popping up there if he doesn't even care about Kelpy G, just nachos? Of course, he has to eat SpongeBob and Squidward's backstage passes because hahahaha it's funny!!! laugh!!! Then Squidward gets all the bad luck in the world as he loses his seat and gets kicked out of the concert. I wish this episode ended better for Squidward like him playing his clarinet on stage with Kelpy G or something. 7. This town is getting too rough for me. Pet or Pests - 188 points 10 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #1, @CakeCup) (-1) Season: 6 Writers: Aaron Springer, Richard Pursel Plot: SpongeBob adopts a stray worm who gives birth to worm babies overnight. This episode used to be my worst episode for the longest time but it's still the #1 ugliest episode in the entire show. The animation AND writing were at their absolute low here. I haven't complained about the animation itself in my past reviews because most of s6-9a doesn't look good and I would repeat myself so I bring this complain to this ep that represents more the ugliness than everything. The combination of ugly animation and gross-out is the last thing I want not only in SpongeBob but also for any other shows. How can you make baby worms that ugly? Why is there a puking worms running gag? Of course, the writing has countless flaws like slow dialogue, Larry not knowing (or pretending not to know which would be very rude from him) SpongeBob and wanting to eat the worms, the dreaded doorbell gag that goes on for literally 30 seconds, the lame "old country" joke, and too many to count. This episode was made with literally every single flaw of middle post-movie.

  42. 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...

  43. 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.

  44. 28. WHEN I'M ON THE ROOOOOOAD A SquarePants Family Vacation - 63 points 3 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #1, @RD Rockruff) (+9) Season: 8 Writers: Aaron Springer, Sean Charmatz, Derek Iversen Plot: Patrick goes on vacation with SpongeBob's family to the Great Barrier Reef. Not surprised this episode jumped 9 places because damn, this episode is another borefest but in 22 minutes and it almost made my list as well. I think it's another episode with wasted potential because the idea of a family vacation can be interesting but here it's just not. The Road song is one of the worst songs in the show and I will say it now, it makes the Atlantis songs look like masterpieces. Also, it's weird how this episode is the first major role of SB's parents but then they disappeared for years. I'm glad they already made a great episode for them in S13 but that's another subject for another day. 27. ASSAULT YOUR OWN BABY Slide Whistle Stooges - 64 points 4 of 21 lists (Highest ranking #1, @Wumbo) (-3) Season: 6 Writers: Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, Derek Iversen Plot: SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward play with slide whistles. Not a big change compared to 2021 but Slide dropped a few spots. I used to hate this episode a lot but now I'm a bit more soft because of a few funny lines. The sound of this instrument is not annoying to me but I think SpongeBob and Patrick annoy Squidward too much. Then Squidward starts to like it and begins playing it all over the city, annoying all of Bikini Bottom to the point of them celebrating when he crashed a truck. I thought that was too harsh but this is how rude the Bottomites are.

  47. It’s that time of the year again, and for my Christmas Eve present, here's my next Spin-Off Direct! I got a lot done this year in terms of writing: gave Skodwarde a better send-off, closed the SBCinema’s doors with Clap's beautiful ending, ended One-Time Star Wars Characters, gave Scooter’s Paradise a surprisingly decent new coat of paint, riffed Family Guy's not so funniest moments, and put in some of my strongest writing in Most Wanted. Due to how much I juggled this year (which is impressive given my job), my writing output for 2023 will be smaller, but there’s still enough on the plate to pack a punch. Here's what I have in store... 1.) Aquatic Avengers: Unite! This is a Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy miniseries which will be the final entry in my Jjsverse. Yes, for real this time. I’ve milked out all I could from this formula and I’m ready to move on, but not before going out with a bang. Mermaid Man: The Brave and the Bold was my first spin-off going onto SBC and I felt it’d be a poetic full circle ending to do another Mermaid Man work for my last SpongeBob spin-off. I always wanted to take another crack at a Mermaid Man story but could never think of a good idea until now. Since we’re never seeing the dynamic duo in the actual show properly again, I figured this would be a touching tribute to do. A couple of points I can share about it: Synopsis: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are brought out of retirement by a powerful threat to all superheroes and supervillains alike. It will be 10 chapters. There will be shoutouts and easter eggs to JCM and terminoob’s Mermaid Man spin-offs (as you can already see from the title) along with teenj’s superhero works. Some characters from Brave and the Bold will be loosely canonized into the Jjsverse. Night City will also appear. It will have a present and past flashback structure similar to Most Wanted. Since this is my grand finale to the Jjsverse, there will be tie-ins and cameos from Storm Racers, Mystic Guardians, Pirate Legends and Most Wanted, but nothing too crazy. This will also act as my own personal response to the overexposure of the superhero genre, so there will be inspiration from The Boys in there. I firmly believe this will be a very high note to end the Jjsverse on. It's been a hell of a ride, starting all the way back with Storm Racers in 2011, and I never even intended to branch it out this far. It was fun building an expansive undersea version of our world. However, sticking to that setting has shown its limitations and has been awkward when my past few entries have barely related to SpongeBob anymore lol. Five books in this story is a good number to end it on. This will come around spring and I’m going to spend the next few months mapping out every beat so it’s perfect. 2.) Jjs’ Riffing Theater 3000: Tales from the Internet This 10 part miniseries will celebrate JRT’s 10th anniversary in June 2023, and to bring us back to its roots, we’ll be riffing fanfiction again…but this time, from outside of SBC! Each fanfiction will be a goofy one-shot from something SBC’s had common interest in over the years. (such as SpongeBob, Breaking Bad, Owl House, etc) This is basically an expanded version of the original theater's One-Shots finale. One fanfiction we’re definitely riffing will be the infamous Dipper Goes to Taco Bell. Since these will be from people we don't know at all, these will be more fun to riff. Yes, this is a cheeky way around me not wanting to riff SBC works anymore. I will start production on this around May. If anyone wants to be a part of this or provide story suggestions (note that it must be a one-shot), let me know in advance. There are obviously a lot of contenders to pull from across the internet, so I'm going to choose only the best, most legendary candidates to riff. 3.) One-Time Power Rangers Characters: Where Are They Now? Yep, not letting that One-Time torch die just yet. This will be a collaboration writing between Ex and I, celebrating 30 years of Power Rangers and acting as a tribute to Jason David Frank. (RIP ) Unlike One-Time Star Wars Characters however, this will only be a brief for fun miniseries, it won't go on any longer than that. This will come in the summer, closer to the 30th anniversary of Power Rangers. Will this be my final year of writing stories in general? Probably not, because you know how many times I’ve promised that before. However, I’m getting older and don’t have the time I used to, so we’ll see. Not gonna make any concrete promises yet, but if there has to be a final year for me as a regular SBC writer, then I think 2023 would be a much better note to end on than 2019 would’ve been. At the very least, should I write anything again after 2023, it won't be anything SpongeBob related or adjacent, I'm positive on that.

  48. Let's goooooo I wanted to make a throwback to the days when people would post screenshot forum lets plays. Everything is randomized- enemy teams, wild pokemon, their types, their moveset, their abilities, and even who they evolve into. Exciting! My rules are as follows: 1. If a Pokemon faints, it is considered "dead" and stored in the PC box forever. 2. I can only catch the first 'mon I encounter on any route. If it's a duplicate, I may reroll the encounter. I'm also allowed all gift encounters but not two from the same place (So only one Samuel Oak mon) 3. Must nickname all Pokemon after someone based, badass, or tight as hell. (TW: NSFW jokes, nothing extreme but your average shitty internet humor. Light sexual references etc etc) Alright, let's go Chapter 1: Exposition That wraps up the first part! Lots of exposition, so I think from now on we're gonna blitz through this beginning. I'm gonna trim a lot of the fat so we don't end up with any more do-nothing parts, but I wanted this nice welcoming Chapter 1. The decision to cut a lot of the beginning story out should hopefully not be a problem, I hope nobody is using this as their definitive way to experience the game for the first time LOL. But if you are... hey! Stay a while. I love ya. I love all of you

  49. So recently, I was reading TVTropes and saw this: This is a very serious issue. As it turned out, Mr Krabs has mutilated Squidward's genitals by cutting them off. This is horrifying, as Squidward has done nothing wrong and deserves to have genitals. Mr Krabs probably cut them off for work purposes, or even just because he likes doing genital mutilation (just like he loves commiting genocide). In my opinion, Mr Krabs should be arrested for this, and be required to pay Squidward's hospital bills. He cannot be allowed to get away with this. What do you guys think about Squidward's genital mutilation?

  50. So out of nowhere, my loving cat Jack was feeling very sick, couldn't eat, only drank, didn't use the bathroom really, had black spots on his nose, probably bleeding from his mouth and nose a bit, didn't meow, get up, slept on the ground, looking at us, and I was worried the inevitable was about to happen to another cat of mine at a young age (he may be 11 but I don't care, always wanted my cat to live til 20), and this morning, I didn't get to say goodbye to a loving pet in my family. He was a nice fella, coming in to my room, pawing at me, he acted like a dog sometimes, just kissing your hand and biting it. He was super nice. Never really growled or hissed. Never got angry really. And now. I never get to see him ever again. And I'm depressed about it. Love and cherish your pets. You'll never know when the awful day comes, especially if they were acting normal just a few days ago. I'll miss you, Jack. Hopefully there's an afterlife and you're reunited with your loving brother Elliott who passed in 2013, as well as your friend Ralphy and Tomas. Took this a few weeks ago too. I'm so sad... 2011 - 2022
