  1. This one started off with some very forced gross out gags, then just went off in whatever direction it felt like. Not as bad as Snooze, but still very bland and dull. Once SpongeBob and the gang moved on from the children's party, there was zero motivation for anything. Everything in the episode just... happened. One thing that really irked me was the lack of any payoff. Throughout the episode, there was a running gag(????) of Mr. Krabs trying to get rid of this annoying kid who kept asking for his birthday cake. You would've thought they'd go the predictable route and the kid would somehow blow Mr. Krabs' cover, but nope. Instead they were unpredictable and ended the episode with a flood! Surf's up, dudes! Ha ha! Funny, right? 

    Ehhh... not really. 2.5/10

  2. I'll say this--the episode had some pretty funny facial expressions. Annnnnd.... that's about it. The rest of it was just a poorly written gross-out episode. I don't mind gross-out humor, but I like it to have more purpose than "Ha ha! Farts and boogers!" so it's not just crammed in there for the sake of having something gross.

    Plotwise, jjs pretty much hit the nail on the head. We've seen this before. Plankton!, Slimy Dancing, Someone's in the Kitchen With Sandy, I <3 Dancing, Squidtastic Voyage... SpongeBob has taken the premise of somebody taking control of another character's body and beaten it into the ground. I want to put out a suggestion or two for what they could have done to improve the episode, but when you've gone through the same plot device at least five times, it's tough to find any new ground to cover. 

    Real disappointing Season 10 entry. 1/10

  3. I liked the role-playing and the funny expressions, but I dunno, something about Johnny narrating the "action" cards didn't work. I think part of the humor was that the cards used to be played straight, but now that they're narrated it draws more attention to 'em and that vibe is lost. Ah well, still have high hopes for this season.

  4. Exceptional Minds finally posted it, so here's an animation I did in a two week workshop over the summer. I had to cut a lot of corners (eg, background isn't colored, some parts could be drawn better) since I only had about 50 hours of actual work time to put into this, but I'm still pleased with what I got. Hope everybody enjoys my first actual animation!

  6. Since the file in my post is broken, I thought I'd leave this here in its place. Behold, a 6 1/2 minute montage of promos and bumpers for the special as taped by me in 2008. I still don't know why on earth I recorded all these, but I'm sure someone out there has some nostalgia for this special. :P

  7. I'm beginning work on the next episode, and it's gonna be about 10 minutes long this time. Hoping to have it done by the end of the month. I won't spoil too much now, but here's a prototype for the episode's title card (hastily sketched in my college notebook). I'm also looking for voice actors since this episode'll require a LOT of voices, namely for a crowd scene where everybody sings a song together. If you'd like to lend your voice to this animatic, shoot me a message!

    I'll keep you guys updated with behind the scenes goodies if you wanna see the process behind the awesomeness.

  8. Here's a last minute submission. The first part of a pilot for a Pinocchio themed spin-off called "Teenage Mutant Gepetto" in which Gepetto becomes a mutant superhero following a woodcarving accident.

    Episode 1

    Gepetto was an elderly old man living in a village, carving wooden toys and clocks for the children to enjoy. He was a very lonely old man too, with only his pet cat Figaro, a golfish named Cleo, and a wide variety of self-carved puppets to keep him company. But then a lil' bastard named Pinocchio who always caused shit to go down came along. He started out as an ordinary puppet, but some hot bitch in a fairy costume turned him into a real boy after he proved himself worthy of life. Life seemed to be pretty much perfect for Gepetto until one fateful day...

    "My dear Pinocchio," chuckled Gepetto. "Please hold still while I finish my work!" 

    "Why?" inquired Pinocchio. He was sitting on the countertop watching Gepetto carve a toy, fidgety and full of energy.

    "Because I need to focus," sighed Gepetto. 

    "Why?"

    "Because I need to get this toy done!"

    "Why?"

    "So the children can enjoy it."

    "Why?"

    "Because children like toys."

    "Why?"

    "Go bother Figaro," groaned Gepetto. He loved Pinocchio very much, but boy did he piss him off with his endless streams of questions.

    Pinocchio took the hint and hopped off the countertop to go hunt for Figaro. Figaro was usually rubbing up against Gepetto's ankles causing his socks to fall down, but he wasn't in his usual place today.

    "Ah ah ah!" Pinocchio heard a familiar voice call out.

    "Jiminy!" Pinocchio said with a startle, so much so that he bumped his head on a table when he jumped. His conscience, Jiminy Cricket, frowned disapprovingly. He knew Pinocchio was up to no good and now that he wore an official badge, this meant business.

    "What were you going to do?" questioned Jiminy.

    "I was just going to bother Figaro," Pinocchio said innocently. "Father told me that--"

    "Mr. Gepetto--err, I mean, your father probably just needed some time to finish his work, Pinnoch. So let's lay low until he's done, okay?" Jiminy smiled hopefully.

    "Okay!" Pinocchio said excitedly. He really wanted to do the right thing, but he usually needed Jiminy to redirect him along the right path.

    "C'mon!" said Jiminy. "Let's play a game of checkers." 

    Jiminy and Pinocchio walked over to a shelf stacked with games Gepetto had carved for himself and Pinocchio to play together. Chess, Checkers, Pinocchiopoly... They had a pretty nice variety of games, but Checkers was their favorite to play. Pinocchio grabbed the masterfully carved checker box and carried it over to a nice quiet place to sit down and play. Unfortunately he tripped over something fluffy on the way there.

    "MEEEEOOOWWWW!!!"

    Pinocchio lost his balanace and the checkers box fell with a crash. Pinocchio followed next, right into Gepetto, who happened to be making a very precise cut on his latest Mary Lou puppet. Unfortunately, the impact of Pinocchio suddenly crashing into Gepetto's legs caused him to lose his balance and fall to the floor with an elderly thud.

    "I found Figaro, Father!" exclaimed Pinocchio, soothingly petting the frightened cat. "Why don't we all play checkers together?"

    "Not now, son..." Gepetto said through aggrieved grunts of pain as he clutched his foot in agony. "My foot... I... I'm hurt..."

    "Father, your toe!" cried Pinocchio. Sure enough, Gepetto's accident had indeed caused him to make a very precise cut of sorts... which left him without a pinky toe.

    "Go find help!" said Gepetto. "Please hurry!"
