    who do you think is more of a jerk Krabs vs Plankton

    in Bikini Bottom

    Posted

    If you ignore the fact that Plankton wants to enslave the whole world, he is really just a misunderstood guy who just wants to make it in life, but is always trampled (literally) by his competitors. Face it, his love life is empty, so he has to rely on artificial affection, and most of his useless inventions are mainly to compensate for his small stature.

    Mr. Krabs, on the other hand, is already wealthy and squeezes his pennies so hard, the copper in his veins sometimes overpowers his compassion for others, even for his own daughter at times. Only difference from a real life scenario is Mr. Krabs rarely seems to exhibit that emptiness that most greedy fatcats experience. Oddly enough, Mr. Krabs is happy with his wealthy wife and finds gratification in his unnecessary pennypinching.

    As you can see, my vote goes out to Mr. Krabs for being the jerkiest.

    Why Are Episodes Categorized By Their Production Number?

    Every show has production codes or any other convention of labeling episodes according to how they were produced. It all depends on how consistent the network is on airing the episodes in the order in which they were produced.

    Shows on major networks, such as The Simpsons are typically aired in production order, with a few occasional exceptions here and there (i.e. Family Guy/Cleveland Show/American Dad delaying their hurricane episodes due to RL current events). Because they air in such a consistent weekly basis September through May, the fans of those shows respect the airdate order as much as possible, and DVDs are made accordingly.

    I don't think I need to explain this to a lot of you, but Nickelodeon is sloppy in the way they keep episodes in their vault for so long and air them whenever and in whatever order they please. Because of this, extremely-nerdy fans struggle at maintaining an airdate-ordered list that isn't confusing as barnacles. If you look at the TV.com episode-list I used to edit, you can see how hard I tried at keeping the episodes neatly organized despite having to conventionally list/group it according to which episodes aired with which, which episodes aired by themselves, and (oh god) which episodes intermingled with the wrong seasons.

    For now, just marvel at the beauty of the production-ordered Wikipedia episode list. Then, go outside, get some fresh air and exercise, and marvel at the beauty that is Mother Nature.

    If SpongeBob And Sandy Actually Got Together...

    They pretty much did make it canon in the Truth or Square episode. Trust me, if the writers stay true to Steve Hillenburg's intention for an inconsequential format, which they have, that is the furthest they're ever going to get. It probably wouldn't be so bad if they hinted at it every once and a while, but we all know the only thing SpongeBob is in love with at the moment is his job, and maybe a little bubble-blowing/jellyfishing on the side.

    SpongeBob SquarePants On Hiatus

    Hey, we're going to be at...what?...200 episodes. At least it's not going to be as bad as the first hiatus where we had to deal with reruns of under 60 episodes (not to mention fear of the show's cancellation).

    I'm sure Nickelodeon is going to space the episode premieres responsibly to keep us SpongeBob fans busy, and we'll have a 10th season to look forward to after the movie!

    It's A SpongeBob Christmas! (News Thread)

    Just bought the DVD yesterday. Watched it twice already.

    Definitely a hilarious classic. I'm surprised they were able to pull the stop-motion animation off in such a way that it actually gave the characters even more expression than the traditional animation at times.

    The musical numbers were epic, as well. Kudos to the SB crew for pulling off such an amazing Christmas special! :D

    What Steve Hillenburg is doing in his spare time...

    You know Smosh's cartoon channel, Shut Up Cartoons?

    Well, one of their current series, Really Freaking Embarrassing, is created by Peter Hannan of CatDog fame. This "gross-out" themed series showcases different people sharing embarrassing stories with cheaply animated reenactments.

    The series is receiving mostly negative feedback from viewers; and guess who's listed in the credits? That's right, Stephen Hillenburg and his wife Karen, along with Tom Kenny and Jill Talley. Apparently they provided "invaluable assistance." I don't know if that means that they helped direct, write, animate, or voice-act for the web series, but it really makes me wonder why Steve would pretty much abandon the SB team, and get involved in such spaghetti. He needs to allocate more of his resources to the yellow sponge who needs him.
