Number 10: Shanghaied
To kick off the top ten, we have Shanghaied. It begins with one of those Patchy segments you see in some special episodes. And in this one, Patchy states that we are going to watch his favorite episode of the series!
· Narrator: And now, it's time for Patchy's Pick. Hosted by: SpongeBob's number one fan, Patchy the Pirate!
· Patchy: Ahoy, fellow fanatics! Welcome to Patchy's Pick! I got a little treat for you. We're gonna see me favorite movie Shanghaied! Ta-ta-ta!
· Potty: Boring!
· Patchy: Well, If it isn't my less-than-amusing sidekick, Potty the Parrot. Potty, say hi to the nice people!
· Potty: Squawk! I'm being held here against my will! Help!
· Patchy: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh... Oh, Potty come back! Potty? Potty? Were'd you go? Potty, are you in here, buddy? Potty? Potty?
· [Then the screen reveals that Patchy is in a cannon that is pointing outside the window]
· Potty: [laughs and squawking] Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha.
· Patchy: Get me out of here, you scurvy bird! [The cannon blasts Patchy out and Patchy screams; he lands in a neighboring house which sinks like a boat. Patchy returns, still smoking from the cannon blast] Well, roll the cartoon!
It begins with Spongebob having a box of Kelpo before noticing a giant anchor crashing into his house.
· SpongeBob: Holy shrimp! [runs out to Squidward] Squidward! The sky had a baby from my cereal box! Squidward! [squidward pokes his head through his window] Squidward! The sky had a baby!
· Squidward: That's not a baby! That's a giant anchor! Now go away! [Patrick comes over]
· Patrick: Hey, SpongeBob! The sky had a baby!
· SpongeBob: I know! What do you think we should name it?
· Patrick: How about...
· Squidward: Why don't you two go climb its anchor rope? I'm sure it goes somewhere far away! [Anchor crashes into Squidward's house] Now look what you've done!
Squidward begins climbing up the anchor's rope to complain to the owner, and SpongeBob and Patrick follow. Then, Spongebob notices that the anchor had been dropped by a large, ghost-like ship.
· Patrick: SpongeBob, how long are you gonna stay in your little fantasy world?
· SpongeBob: No, look, a giant ship!
· Squidward: Great! Let's go! Now I can finally give this anchor-dropper a piece of my mind.
· SpongeBob: I don't know, Squidward. That ship has a spooky green glow around it.
· Squidward: That's probably because its good-for-nothing owner is too lazy to clean or drop its anchors in the right place.
· SpongeBob: Squid, wait! [all 3 reach the top]
· Squidward: All right, who owns this crate? [notices a door that says "owner" and begins to knock on it] Come on out! I wanna file a complaint! [spongeBob looks around the ship]
When the trio set foot on the ship, the Flying Dutchman emerges from his cabin, terrifying Squidward. SpongeBob and Patrick tell the Dutchman of Squidward's intentions to complain to him, and he repeatedly burns Squidward with fire from his nostrils (and eyes).
· Flying Dutchman: Who be disturbin' the Flying Dutchman in his own lair?
· SpongeBob: It's Squidward. He wants to complain to you. [Flying Dutchman gives an evil look to Squidward]
· Squidward: I...no, I don't.
· SpongeBob: Well, what about all that stuff about him having a dirty ship and being lazy and all? [Flying Dutchman glares angrily at Squidward]
· Squidward: I never said that.
· Flying Dutchman: Insultin' a man's ship be worse than insultin' his mother!
· SpongeBob: No, no, wait, it was his mother you said was dirty, not his ship. [shoots fire out his nose frying up Squidward]
· Flying Dutchman: [looks over to SpongeBob & Patrick] You're next!
· SpongeBob and Patrick: [jumps off the ship] That was a close one! [land back on the ship]
· Flying Dutchman: Welcome back!
· SpongeBob: [he and Patrick scream and jump off the ship] That was a closer one! [land back on the ship]
· Flying Dutchman: Welcome back! [spongeBob & Patrick jump off the ship]
· Squidward: Hey! How come when they act up, all they get is the welcome wagon? If you ask me, it's... [Flying Dutchman zaps Squidward while SpongeBob & Patrick land back on the ship]
So, because they boarded the Dutchman’s ship, they have to work for him for the rest of their lives. Squidward complains about this, so the Flying Dutchman opens a zipper (in the air… seriously) and sends him into a hellish dimension called the Fly of Despair.
The Dutchman decides to have Spongebob and Patrick help him by scaring the people in Bikini Bottom, but it only proves to cause the Dutchman more harm than help.
· Flying Dutchman: Eh, that'll do. Okay, Square One, since Pink One's working the navigation, it's up to you to find our first victim. Here, use this spyglass. Now hurry up! We're burnin' moonlight!
· SpongeBob: Let's see who we can find. [spins telescope on ground] Captain, there's a guy we can scare. [telescope points to a big tough guy then Flying Dutchman blows on the telescope spinning it a little to land on a little kid]
· Billy: I had four biscuits, and I ate one. Then I only had three.
· Flying Dutchman: Ahh, it does me heart good to see children out after dark. Pink One, take us behind those rocks.
· Patrick: Moving behind the rocks! [ship moves scratches and tears up through the rocky parts of the sea]
· SpongeBob: Keep going. You're good. You're good. You're good...and...stop. Don't worry, Captain, we'll buff out those scratches.
· Flying Dutchman: All right, never mind it. Just jump out when I give the signal. [Flying Dutchman scares Billy from behind a rock]
· Flying Dutchman: Boo! Prepare to be burdened with the haunting memory of my ghostly ghost pirates! [points to SpongeBob & Patrick who just get confuse]
· SpongeBob: Was that the signal? Okay, sorry, sorry, just...just do it again.
· Flying Dutchman: With the haunting memory of my ghostly ghost pirates! [spongeBob & Patrick come out and SpongeBob does a little trick with his fingers]
· Patrick: How does he do that?
· Flying Dutchman: Get back on the ship.
· SpongeBob and Patrick: It's still a mystery!
· Billy: Those guys are dorks.
· Flying Dutchman: Yes, but they're my dorks. [goes back to showing SpongeBob & Patrick steering through the rocks tearing up the ship]
· SpongeBob: You're good. You're good. You're good. [Flying Dutchman goes through Bikini Bottom terrorizing citizens while SpongeBob & Patrick do stupid tricks. Later shown the ship is still getting wrecked] You're good. You're good. You're good. [Flying Dutchman goes through Bikini Bottom terrorizing citizens while SpongeBob & Patrick do stupid tricks. Later shown the ship is still getting wrecked] You're good.. You're good. You're good. [Flying Dutchman scares another citizen while SpongeBob & Patrick figure- skate in purple tights.]
So, because they aren’t any help to him, the Flying Dutchman decides that he’s going to eat them soon, which causes Spongebob and Patrick to panic.
· Flying Dutchman: Well, actually, I'm just gonna eat you. See you at dinner! [spongeBob & Patrick scream]
· Patrick: Wait, I have an idea!
· SpongeBob: Really?! What is it?
· Patrick: Let's leave!
· SpongeBob: But the door is locked and the only way out is through the...perfume department. [points to a room full of perfume and customers]
· Patrick: Let's do it. [they try to run through the department but get sprayed with all sorts of perfume]
· SpongeBob: I always hate going in there!
· Patrick: Yeah.
· SpongeBob: [hears something strange] Wait! Listen! [Flying Dutchman is in his room]
· Flying Dutchman: Dear Diary: I told them I'm going to eat them tomorrow. I made up some of that brown sauce my cousin showed me just for the occasion. Ahh, it's a good thing I found my dining sock again.
So they steal the sock and try to escape the ship.
Flying Dutchman: Remember the last time I lost me dining sock, I couldn't eat for a whole week. Yes, sir, sometimes I wonder how I'd survive if anything should ever happen... [notices sock is gone and pops out in front of SpongeBob & Patrick] Give me back my sock! Everyone knows I can't eat without it!
· SpongeBob: Never!
· Flying Dutchman: Ok, then... [tries to zap SpongeBob but SpongeBob holds up the sock as protection] Give it to me!
· SpongeBob: No! [sock begins to tear]
· Flying Dutchman: Wait, you're stretching out the elastic!
So, the Dutchman decides to give Spongebob and Patrick 3 wishes in exchange for his dining sock.
· Flying Dutchman: Tell you what. You give me back the sock, and I'll give you...three wishes.
· Patrick: Make it five.
· Flying Dutchman: Four.
· Patrick: Three. Take it or leave it.
· Flying Dutchman: Ok...uhh, three. You get three wishes.
· SpongeBob: Wow! Three wishes, Pat. Isn't that great?
· Patrick: Wishes? I wish we had known that earlier! [clock goes backwards one minute]
· Flying Dutchman: Okay, you got two wishes left. [Patrick smiles with embarrassment at an angry SpongeBob]
· SpongeBob: Well, we still have two more. How exciting! I wish Squidward were here to see this! [falls through a hole in the Fly Of Despair and crashes onto his bed]
· Squidward: Boy, I'm glad all that's over! [re-appears on the ship]
· SpongeBob & Patrick: Squidward! You're back!
· SpongeBob: Guess what? The Dutchman gave us three wishes! Patrick used the first one, and I guess I just used the second one.
· Squidward: Well, then, the last one you owe me because you got me back into this mess!
· Patrick: Wait! I think it belongs to me! [everyone starts to argue]
· Flying Dutchman: That's enough! Using my mystic other-worldly powers, I shall decide who gets the last wish. [uses the eeny- meenie-minie-mo method] Eeny, meeny, miny, mo, catch a sailor by the toe, if he hollers, let him go, my mother told me to pick the very best one and...
· Flying Dutchman: [finishing eenie-meenie-minie-mo] You are it! [stops on SpongeBob]
After thinking for a minute, Spongebob decides to make the final wish.
· SpongeBob: Don't worry, Squidward. I've got it all figured out. He won't be able to eat us because...I wish the Dutchman was a vegetarian! [Flying Dutchman turns into a vegetarian and SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward re-appear in front of SpongeBob's house but you can only see their heads]
At first, it seems like everything’s back to normal. But it turns out that they have all been turned into fruit (inside a blender) and it ends with the three running away from the Flying Dutchman, who is about to eat them.
· Squidward: But why have we been turned into fruits? [their bodies have been turned into fruits and they are in a blender]
· Flying Dutchman: Hey, I get a wish too. Fruit prevents scurvy! [spongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward bounce away in the blender] Hey, get back here with that! [Flying Dutchman chases them around the ship, which is now a hippie-themed volkswagen with a main mast. Patchy reappears]
· Patchy: Ahoy, children! I'm back! I hope you all enjoyed the show because it's time for you to walk the plank! [screen reads: PLEASE STAND BY] Oh, sorry, kids. What I meant to say because it's time for fan mail! [blows horn]
· Kids: Hooray!
· Patchy: And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, so get ready to blow milk out of your nose because we're gonna open a letter! The envelope please Potty. Thank you, my fine feathered assistant.
· Potty: [Potty has a lighten fuse on his head] Brawk, you're not welcome.
· Patchy: [Patchy blows his nose] Hey, Potty, do you smell something? Oh, Potty! That fuse in your head! I told you we're not doing that stunt!
· Potty: Brawk, I didn't get the memo! Brawk! [Potty blows up along with Patchy; Patchy coughs up a feather and recovers from the blast]
· Patchy: Well, that's it for Patchy's Pick. Hooray! [Potty collapses to the floor]
I thought that this was an interesting plot and there were many hilarious moments in this episode. But the main reason I put it here is mainly because I remember this being the very first episode I ever watched (I thought that it was the first episode of the series!) and after that, I fell in love with the show. And after this episode, the many episodes that followed never failed to entertain me.
Hint for next episode: Lost in Time

Thank you. And oh, sorry!
Here's a hint for the next episode: Pirates in the air (this one should be pretty easy)

Number 11: Fear of a Krabby Patty
Ah, well here we are at the very start of Season 4.
The episode starts with Mr. Krabs painting a sign that says "New Business Hours: 6 AM to 11 PM". Squidward then criticizes that this new policy is unfair, while SpongeBob then suggests some earlier times that they can go to work at.
· Squidward: [yelling] What? That is totally unfair!
· SpongeBob: Squidward's right. That's totally unfair. Couldn't we get to work earlier than six a.m.? Like 5:30 a.m.? Or 5:00 a.m.? Or 4:00 a.m.? [squidward zips up the chef's window]
· Squidward: Zip it!
Mr. Krabs becomes shocked when he sees that Plankton has opened his restaurant for 23 hours. Because of this, Krabs decides to open HIS restaurant for 24 hours, much to the dismay of Squidward, but to the excitement of Spongebob.
Plankton: [behind the scope] Open 24 hours, eh? I knew he couldn't resist staying open later than me. [He starts walking into the Chum Bucket] My evil plan is working perfectly. He'll run his employees into the ground, and when SpongeBob's mind finally cracks from exhaustion, I'll get him to tell me the secret Krabby Patty formula.
And after ten days of working (with no sleep and no breaks), Squidward is extremely tired but Spongebob is still awake and full of energy. Upon seeing this, Plankton decides to use an even deeper tactic.
· [scene changes to the Chum Bucket a while later. Plankton is on the phone, ordering an item from the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs picks up on the other line]
· Mr. Krabs: Krusty Krab! The restaurant that never closes. Would you like to place an order? [We hear a muffled sound from Mr. Krab's phone] 10,000 Krabby Patties! We'll start your order right away, Mr...uh, uh...What was that name again? [Muffles coming from the phone. Mr. Krabs writes his information on a piece of paper] Uh huh...Peter Lankton. Wait a minute; this isn't some kind of prank, is it?
· Plankton: Eh...no.
· Mr. Krabs: Good! We'll call you when it's ready, Mr. Lankton. [Mr. Krabs bursts through the kitchen door, and starts yelling orders at SpongeBob]
· Mr. Krabs: Kick it into high gear! We've got a big order! [Clutches SpongeBob, who is staring into space] I'm counting on you, boy. I need you to raise that spatular. [spongeBob does so, enthusiastically] Yeah! And I need you to say, "Team Krusty Krab!"
· SpongeBob: Team Krusty Krab!
· Mr. Krabs: That's me boy! Now, make me 10,000 Krabby Patties. [spongeBob's eyes swell up as Mr. Krabs walks away] And no breaks!
And so, Spongebob proceeds to cook up 10,000 patties
under the seawithout any exhaustion in him. But, after day 43…· Mr. Krabs: What the flimflam? [Enters the kitchen and notices SpongeBob looking like a wreck] What are you doing in here, boy? You're wasting all me food. [spongeBob does not answer him] Boy? [spongeBob starts fighting the air with his spatula. Mr. Krabs hits him on the back of his head]
· SpongeBob: [Drowsily] Oh, hey Mr. Krabs. When did you get here?
· Mr. Krabs: Boy, I'm worried that... [Mr. Krabs turns into a giant talking Krabby Patty] Got it?
· SpongeBob: [wiping his eyes] I'm sorry Mr. Krabs. Could you run that by me again?
· Mr. Krabs: Sure, I said I'm worried that... [He turns into a Krabby Patty again. He turns back into himself after he stops talking]
· SpongeBob: That's what I thought you said. Now, let me offer this as a rebuttal: [he starts screaming and throwing his hands in the air. He hides in the corner, waving his spatula at Mr. Krabs] Stay back! I'm warning you!
· Mr. Krabs: [starts walking towards SpongeBob] All right. Now you're just acting silly. I want you to... [Mr. Krabs turns into a Krabby Patty again]
· SpongeBob: No, don't eat me; I'm too chewy. [screams and runs outside the kitchen, where his eyes bulge as he notices the customers are now Krabby Patties] Holy shrimp! They're everywhere! [Runs screaming and knocks into a Krabby Patty, falling]
· Krabby Patty: [looking at him] What?
· SpongeBob: [Running and screaming. He starts screaming at two Krabby Patties sitting at a table, then one going to the bathroom and then screaming and pointing at Tom.]
· Sally: I told you that shirt was hideous. [spongeBob screams again as Mr. Krabs grabs him and pulls him into the kitchen, while SpongeBob is digging his nails into the floor]
· SpongeBob: No, no! I want to live! [He enters the kitchen, but bursts the door open] I want to live [He's dragged back inside. The camera shows Squidward, exhausted]
· SpongeBob: [inside the kitchen] Mr. Krabs, what's going on? Everywhere I look, I see killer Krabby Patties.
At first, Krabs tries to get Spongebob to get back to work.
Mr. Krabs: [patting SpongeBob's head] There, there. I'm sure it's nothing that getting back to work won't solve.
But since Spongebob can’t look at one patty without becoming afraid, Krabs decides to send Spongebob to a psychiatrist.
SpongeBob: Oh, but where am I going to find a psychiatrist? [A paper airplane hits him in the head] Ow! [Plankton is heading at the chef's window and then drops down. SpongeBob starts reading the paper] Hey, look at this! "Dr. Peter Lankton: Psychiatrist. Specializing in Krabby Patty phobias". Gosh, I don't know about this, Krabs; wouldn't I have to miss work if I went to see... [Mr. Krabs holds up a patty in front of SpongeBob's face. SpongeBob points and screams at it, then runs off.]
So, Spongebob heads to Dr. Peter Lankton’s office (which is actually the Chum Bucket in disguise) and enters.
· Well, this looks like the place. [it is the Chum Bucket with the sign "Dr. P. Lankton Psychiatrist" on it. SpongeBob enters, looking for the psychiatrist] Hello? Doctor?
· Plankton: Come in, Mr. SquarePants. Please have a seat on the couch. [spongeBob sits on the couch. He turns his chair around so that we can see Plankton wearing a costume and beard] Now... [chuckles] Let's unload all that harmful information in your little yellow head.
· SpongeBob: You're a bit smaller than I imagined, doctor, but I guess that's why they call you shrink [laughs]. Do you think there's hope for me, doctor?
· Plankton: Hope, hope? When I get my hands on that formula, there won't be any hope for any of you. [Laughs, but then clears his throat] Yeah, I mean: you'll be cured in no time.
Dr. P Lankton (obviously Plankton) looks for ways to get Spongebob to tell him the secret formula, but to no avail.
· SpongeBob: They're coming for me. No! No! No! Stay back! [Grabs a piano and holds it threateningly in the air]
· Plankton: Wait, where'd you get that piano? [spongeBob smashes Plankton with the piano.]
After many failed attempts at getting Spongebob to crack, Plankton resorts to putting Spongebob to sleep with hypnosis.
· Plankton: Since your mind has been resistant to every mental technique so far, I'm forced to resort to my most powerful method of curing you.
· SpongeBob: Fiber?
· Plankton: No, hypnosis.
· SpongeBob: Hypnosis?!
· Plankton: [holds a ticking watch in front of him] Now, keep your eyes on this watch. When I count to three, you will fall into a deep sleep. 1...uh, 2...uh, 3. [spongeBob falls asleep] I can't believe it worked. Now, when I snap my fingers, you will awake and tell me the formula. [snaps fingers, but he does not wake up. He snaps a couple more times] Hey, wake up! [He clashes cymbals, blows a trumpet and beats on drums] Hmm, what else is loud and obnoxious? [He holds a ringing cell phone up to his ear, but that does not work] Why won't you wake up?!
Meanwhile, SpongeBob dreams that he is jellyfishing when a giant Krabby Patty appears and eats him up. He then finds himself in his bed, and a giant Krabby Patty enters the bedroom. The Krabby Patty turns out to be nice and gives SpongeBob a cookie-pizza and chocolate milk, thus curing his fear and causing Spongebob to love Krabby Patties again.
· Krabby Patty: Hey, SpongeBob. I heard your brain was sick, so I brought you this cookie pizza. [Hands SpongeBob a cookie pizza]
· SpongeBob: Gee, thanks!
· Krabby Patty: And here's some chocolate milk. [Hands SpongeBob a glass of chocolate milk]
· SpongeBob: The king of flavored dairy drinks! [He drinks it quickly] Oh, Krabby Patty, I'm so glad we're friends again.
· Krabby Patty: Just remember, SpongeBob, I'll always be with you right here [points to a part of SpongeBob's stomach] .
· SpongeBob: In my heart?
· Krabby Patty: Actually, in your arteries. Now, do me a favor and wake up. Wake up.
· Plankton: [in real life, shouting into a loudspeaker] Wake up!
· SpongeBob: [wakes up, yawning] It worked! I'm cured!
· Plankton: But what about the formula.
· SpongeBob: Oh, you're right! I'd better get back to work! [spongeBob runs away, towards the Krusty Krab] Thanks for everything, doc!
· Plankton: [yelling] No! It's a lie! Therapy doesn't really work. You're still sick! Very, very sick!
And so everything’s back to normal and Spongebob isn’t afraid of Krabby Patties anymore.
· Mr. Krabs: Good to see you're brain's all fixed, boy.
· SpongeBob: Yeah, I just needed some sleep, is all.
· Mr. Krabs: Well, I can safely say, "No more 24 hour shifts", because 23 hours will be plenty [Laughs. SpongeBob then starts laughing]. No, seriously. Get back to work!
I can honestly say that this was a very creative episode! There were many funny moments here and I thought the idea of the plot was very interesting. And I thought it was sweet when the Krabby Patty gave Spongebob his chocolate milk and cookie pizza.
This, to me, is actually is pretty underrated as an episode. I feel that a lot of people hate it because it’s the first episode in the post-movie seasons. And because of that, people seem to think that Season 4 was the downfall of Spongebob.
But, I don’t think it was until late Season 5 or the beginning of Season 6 that the show started to go downhill, and that was when the horrors from the abyss spawned (titles cards One Coarse Meal, Greasy Buffoons, Tentacle Vision and even Dear Vikings appear!).
I think that many people bash on Post-Movie because there are so many bad episodes in that period that people seem to forget all the good ones like Krusty Towers, Grandpappy the Pirate, Plankton’s Pet, Free Samples, and this episode in particular. In fact, most of the episodes from Season 4 (and some from Season 5) actually felt like episodes from the first 3 seasons. And I didn’t even notice the difference! But, I’m getting off track here.
Bottom line is, Fear of a Krabby Patty is an excellent episode, as well as one of the best ones to have ever aired.
Oh, and here’s a piece of trivia: Fear of a Krabby Patty was actually written by C.H. Greenblatt, one of the Pre-Movie writers!

Number 12: The Algae’s Always Greener
In this episode, after failing to steal the Krabby Patty formula once again, Plankton decides that he is tired of eating "holographic meatloaf" and wants to switch lives with Mr. Krabs.
· Plankton: What do we got here? [sarcastically] Oh, goody. Holographic meatloaf again! When am I gonna get some real food? Mr. Krabs gets to eat real food. Just look at his daughter, she's a big as a whale. I wish I could be successful like Mr. Krabs. I wish I could somehow just switch lives with him. Just to know what it's like.
· Karen: Then why don't you just use that "Switch-Lives-Just-To-Know-What-It's-Like-O-Mogrifier" thing you built last Tuesday?
· Plankton: What a brilliant idea! Your parents must have been like, part computer or something.
So he decides to use this machine and after being sucked through a big wormhole, he wakes up in Krabs’ office. He realizes that he has successfully teleported to a universe where he was successful, and has an alternate SpongeBob give him two Krabby Patties for "bun inspection".
· SpongeBob: Order up! Two deluxe Krabby Patties.
· Mr. Plankton: [Plankton's eye turns into a Krabby Patty] At last!
· SpongeBob: [spongeBob delivers food to customer] There you are sir. Two deluxe... [Plankton appears at the table] Ahoy there, Mr. Plankton.
· Mr. Plankton: Er, um, hey there, uh SpongeBob. Uh, SpongeBob?
· SpongeBob: Yes sir!
· Mr. Plankton: I'm gonna need to take one of these Patties back to my office for um, bun inspection.
· SpongeBob: I'm afraid you can't do that, Mr. Plankton!
· Mr. Plankton: Why- why not?
· SpongeBob: Because that Patty is for the customer, sir!
· Mr. Plankton: The customer? I'll boil the customer in hot oil, and rip out his-- [spongeBob's eyes point to the customer, to stop Plankton] I mean uh, yes, of course, for the lovely... customer.
· SpongeBob: [spongeBob gives Plankton two Krabby Patties] But you can take these Patties, sir. I made them in the off chance that you'd decide to instigate some bun inspection today, Mr. Plankton, sir!
While Plankton is in his office, drooling over the Krabby Patties and celebrating his new found power and wealth, SpongeBob suddenly appears for his weekly performance review.
· Mr. Plankton: Uhh... yes, uh, very nice. Um, thanks. [Plankton runs back to his office] All mine, it's finally all mine! The Patties, the wealth, the notoriety! [Plankton sees SpongeBob in his office] SpongeBob, what do you want?
· SpongeBob: Well, it's just that it's Tuesday again, sir, and I was wondering if I could have my, um... weekly performance review!
· Mr. Plankton: Review?
· SpongeBob: Oh yes, please sir!
· Mr. Plankton: But I've never reviewed anything..., except those foreign exercise videos my cousin sent me.
· SpongeBob: Oh, please, sir! I want to make you so happy and proud!
· Mr. Plankton: Eh, you're doing fine. Now leave me to my work.
· SpongeBob: But sir!
· Mr. Plankton: I thought I sent you away, Cretin.
· SpongeBob: But sir, there must be something I need to improve on. Anything!
· Mr. Plankton: All right, the sauce.
· SpongeBob: [gasps] Wh-what?
· Mr. Plankton: The sauce. I dunno, you're using too much sauce, okay? Review's over.
And here is one of the famous moments that has inspired a meme!
· SpongeBob: [spongeBob's face changes] Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh...
· Mr. Plankton: What.
· SpongeBob: Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh...
· Mr. Plankton: What's the matter with you? All I said was "A little too much sauce." It's no big deal, really.
· SpongeBob: Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh...
To calm him down, Plankton promotes SpongeBob to "co-cashier", much to the disdain of that universe's Squidward, who enters his office to complain and wants his view to be a “little less yellow”.
· Squidward: [Plankton is sitting at a table with the two Krabby Patties. Squidward storms into Mr. Plankton's office] You can't do this to me, Mr. Plankton! If you think I'm going to stand out there all day listening to... [Cuts to SpongeBob, whose mouth splits in two]
· SpongeBob: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... [Cuts back to Squidward]
· Squidward:Then you must have coral wedged in your frontal lobe!
· Mr. Plankton: So what do you want me to do about it?
· Squidward: I'd like my view to be a little less yellow, if you know what I mean.
· Mr. Plankton: [squidward's now the fry cook, standing in front of the grill] Hope you like gray!
And then some weird things start happening around the Krusty Krab. What kinds of things you ask? Well, take a look.
· Mr. Plankton: [squidward groans. Plankton heads back to his office] Now, no more instructions! I'd like the begin writing the memoirs of my success story, so everyone just stay the--
· Pearl: [Pearl runs inside the Krusty Krab] Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy! [Plankton is being bounced up and down]
· Mr. Plankton: Just tell Daddy what you want! Of! He's very busy!
· Pearl: Could I please have a um... an advance on my allowance?
· Mr. Plankton: If it'll get you out of my antennae. [Plankton gives Pearl one dollar] Go crazy.
· Pearl: One dollar? You hate me!
· [Pearl begins to cry. Plankton has to dodge all of the tears. A tear ends up landing in his mouth, making him a circle]
· Mr. Plankton: Ow! [A fish walks out and angrily flattens him, getting all of the water out]
· Nat: You!
· Mr. Plankton: Me?
· Nat: You think this is funny?
· Mr. Plankton: In a cosmic sort of way, yes.
· Nat: Well, Mr. Funny Man, is this how you get your sick kicks? [Nat shows Plankton a Krabby Patty]
· Mr. Plankton: What? It's just an ordinary Krabby-- [scene zooms in to show the patty made with gross-out items] Oh my goodness! Squidward!
· SpongeBob: [spongeBob appears at the table, next to Plankton] I tried, Mr. Plankton. I really did.
· Plankton: Oh, what now?
· SpongeBob: A customer ordered a medium soda, and I gave him a large! I gave him a large! I've soiled the good Krusty Krab name! Soiled it! Soiled it! Soiled it! Soiled it! Soiled it! Soiled it! Soiled it! Soiled it! Soiled it!
· Mr. Plankton: I command you to stop that. Stop that and return to your post! [Plankton pushes his hand in SpongeBob's chest, in hopes that he'll stop] Where's the off button on this thing?
· Pearl: [Pearl walks up to Plankton] Okay, Daddy, I've decided I'm gonna run away! Run away and find a new daddy!
· SpongeBob: Soiled it! Soiled it! Soiled it!
· Mr. Plankton: Make it stop!
And then even weirder things start happening when an alternate version of Mr. Krabs invades the Krusty Krab.
· [A siren horn then goes off and then everything becomes silent] What, did I say the secret word?
· SpongeBob: No sir, he's back.
· Mr. Plankton: Who's back? What? [something red flashes by] What was that?
· SpongeBob: [An alarm sounds] Man your stations! Red alert! Red alert! Take cover!
· Mr. Plankton: [All the customers scream, and run to take cover] Take cover from what?!
· SpongeBob: [spongeBob's up in the crow's nest searching for him] He's around here somewhere. [spongeBob sees the red flash by once again] There he goes!
· Mr. Plankton: What? Who? Where? Somebody tell me.
· Harold: Some say he crawled out from the lowest trench in the ocean.
· Pearl: He's the saltiest of all the sea dogs.
· SpongeBob: He's the most hated creature in Bikini Bottom. [The red flash then bursts out of the kitchen and we then see it is Krabs holding a Krabby Patty while swinging on a rope]
· Mr. Krabs: And he's finally got a Krabby Patty! Ar, ar, ar, ar!
· Mr. Plankton: Krabs? What the barnacle is going on here?
· SpongeBob: It's your arch competitor, Krabs. His goal in life is to steal a Krabby Patty and ruin our restaurant.
· Mr. Plankton: That's terrible!
· SpongeBob: Yeah, but the worst part is...
· Mr. Plankton: [Krabs lands behind him] Good grief, he's naked!
So, Spongebob decides to use a cannon (that shoots clothes) to defeat “the red menace”. Even I’m going crazy over this!
· Mr. Krabs: [swings up onto a board on a support beam above] Clother me if you can, silly landlubbers!
· SpongeBob: I'm gonna make you eat those words, Krabs! [The cash register spins upsidedown, and turns into a place where a cannon is located] No shoes, no shirt, no service! [spongeBob shoots all the clothes out of the cannon at Mr. Krabs. All of them miss]
· Mr. Krabs: Ar, ar, ar, ar, ar! [Mr. Krabs stops laughing, as he realizes a bra is on him] Aw, ya got me! Well, at least it's underwire. Here's your stinkin' Patty! [Mr. Krabs throws the Krabby Patty back to Plankton]
· Mr. Plankton: [catches the Krabby Patty] I don't understand. Is there a gas leak in here?
· SpongeBob: Knick-knack, the Patty's back! You did it, Mr. Plankton. Victory screech! [spongeBob and all the customers start screeching]
· Mr. Krabs: Enjoy your victory screech, Plankton, because someday the Krabby Patty formula will be mine!
· SpongeBob: You'll never get this formula, you twisted fiend!
· Mr. Krabs: Oh, but I will. Even if I have to come back tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day... [Mr. Krabs leaves the Krusty Krab. Plankton starts sweating] And the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day...
· SpongeBob: [spongeBob hands Plankton a phone] Phone call, Mr. Plankton.
· Mr. Krabs: And the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day...
Because of all this nonsense, Plankton screams (because he has just gone crazy) and he teleports back to his normal universe.
· Mr. Plankton: [screams, then rips off his clothes] It's not worth it! It's just not worth it! Goodbye, everyone, I'll see you all in therapy! [Plankton presses the button for the Switch-Lives-Just-To-Know-What-It's-Like-O-Mogrifier. He ends up back in the Chum Bucket. Holographic meatloaf is on the table] Holographic meatloaf? My favorite! [Plankton starts eating it, and is happy again]
This episode was definitely a big diamond in Season 3 (and there will be more)! This episode had many hilarious moments and I thought that the idea of two rivals switching lives was a very intriguing and original idea. And it was kinda funny how Plankton decided to enter back into his universe!

Number 13: Plankton’s Pet
After the horrid seasons 6-7, the show began to improve at the beginning of Season 8 (excluding Are You Happy Now?, Restraining Spongebob, and Demolition Doofus). And during Season 9, there came episodes that felt like they could come from Seasons 1-4 (excluding the horrible Little Yellow Book), and this was one of them!
After another failed attempt at stealing the Krabby Patty Formula (surprise, surprise), he starts to wonder why he can’t get the formula.
- Karen: Aww, diddums fail to get a Krabby Patty again? [Picks up the baby and brings it inside]
- Plankton: [still in baby costume] Stop patronizing me! Why does every single plan fall apart? It's just a stupid sandwich! I tell you, it's wearing me down!
- Karen: You need to stop obsessing over it. [Lays baby down and takes off diaper] Relax. Get a hobby or something. [Tosses diaper in the trash]
- Plankton: I hate to admit it, computer wife, I need something to take my mind off that blasted secret formula for a while. [Walks out of trash can from a door at the bottom of the bin. Walks over to window.] But what?
Karen tells him that he should get a pet and SpongeBob, who just happened to hear their conversation, decides to help him look for a pet.
- SpongeBob: Plankton! [Looking through window. Plankton screams] I have the perfect solution to your problem.
- Plankton: SpongeBob? How could you possibly help me?
- SpongeBob: You should try the local animal shelter? That's where I found my Gary.
- Plankton: Oh, yeah? Perhaps you're on to something there.
- [At animal shelter]
- SpongeBob: Here it is. The Bikini Bottom Animal Shelter. [pets barking] Your perfect pet awaits. Now, if you just listen to your heart, you'll be able to pick out the right pet as soon as you see it. [barking continues]
- Plankton: Hmm. Too big. [Walking by worms and snails] Too sloppy.
- Patrick: Duh... [sitting in cage]
- Plankton: Too stupid.
Soon, one of the animals grabs Plankton with its tongue and tries to eat him, until…
- [barking noises coming from another pet. The other pet growls and chomps the pet holding Plankton. Pet that was holding Plankton screams and lets go.]
- Plankton: [Pet barks] Hey there, little guy. [Pet barks and jumps into Plankton's arms] Looks like we have a winner.
- SpongeBob: Oh, so cute! Whatcha gonna call him? He looks like a "Spot" to me.
- [Pet chomps SpongeBob's finger and growls]
- Plankton: That name provokes a violent reaction. Spot it is!
At the Chum Bucket Plankton teaches Spot some tricks like stay, sit, and roll over. Then he teaches him how to steal a Krabby Patty. Plankton wasn't finished talking when Spot left to the Krusty Krab unseen to get a Krabby Patty. When Spot comes back, Plankton is rapt, thinking he finally won but is then enraged when Spot eats the krabby patty in one bite.
- Karen: I think he wants your Krabby Patty. [spot panting. Chomps entire Krabby Patty]
- Plankton: Noo! No! You've been a very bad amoeba! Bad amoeba! I'm afraid you'll have to be punished. You need a time out. I'm just gonna tie you up out here until you learn to behave. [Ties Spot to mailbox] Shouldn't take more than five minutes.
Seconds later, Plankton feels bad, so he decides to go back outside to get Spot, only to find that he’s not there!
- Spot! He's gone. [Crying] Where is he? Spot! Come back! [sobbing] Spot! Come back! Spot! Come back! I've got to find him.
- [Group of 3 fish is back]
- All: Aww.
- Plankton: Don't any of you have jobs? [Plankton goes searching]
When Spongebob sees Plankton, Plankton tells Spongebob that Spot is missing. So, the two decide to go look for him together.
- [Plankton now looking out from being tucked in SpongeBob's pocket. Downtown]
- SpongeBob: Lost pet! Anyone seen this lost pet? [Holding up sign that reads "Have you seen this amoeba?" with a green speck on it] Lost pet emergency! Be on the lookout for a lost pet!
When all else fails, they try the animal shelter.
- SpongeBob: I think it's closed for the night. (SpongeBob opens the door. Door clanks) Ooh, it's dark in here. I'll find a light switch. Aha! [flips switch. Metal clanks heard.] Nope, that's not it. [Flips another switch] Aha! Found the lights.
- Plankton: Uh, SpongeBob? What was the first switch for?
- SpongeBob: I dunno. I think it unlocks the pens?
- Plankton: I thought so. Because now the animals are loose! [animals shriek] SpongeBob?
- SpongeBob: Run for it?
- Plankton: Yep.
- [spongeBob picks up Plankton and runs. Panting. Animals shrieking]
And soon enough, they’re both cornered, thinking they’re screwed.
- Plankton: SpongeBob, before we're torn to shreds, I'd like to thank you for helping me look for Spot.
- SpongeBob: Aw, it was nothing. Hey, speaking of Spots. Did you always have a double pupil?
- Plankton: A double what? [Pulls Spot off eye] Spot! [dramatic music] Thank entropy you're safe! You were hiding on my optical cornea the whole time! You sneaky little amoeba, you. [spot barks and licks Plankton. Plankton laughs]
- SpongeBob: Aw, I'm glad you found Spot. [Animals shrieking] Unfortunately, the animals found us too.
- Plankton: Good-bye, Spot. I guess this is the end of the road for us. [spot growls, barks, and jumps out of Plankton's arms.] Spot, no! [spot barks at other animals. Animals laugh. Spot snarls and grows to a much larger size. Spot barks loudly at animals. The animals all run away back into their cages. The cages close. Spot growls and shrinks back to small size. Spot jumps back into Plankton's arms]
- SpongeBob: Wow, Spot! You saved us!
I thought that this was the best episode of Season 9, and one of the best overall! They did manage to create a decent and original plot, and it was good to see that Plankton was able to find something other than “steal the formula”.
Plankton: I taught him everything he knows! [spot barks and licks Plankton]

Number 14: Big Pink Loser
Now this is an episode that I know that almost everybody is familiar with.
It begins with the mailfish delivering mail to Patrick Star. Upon opening it, Patrick finds a trophy inside, which gets him so excited that he decides to show it to everyone.
Patrick: An award? I never got an award before! Eeeee! Look rock, I got an award. [arrow on top of rock breaks] Jellyfish, I got an award. [jellyfish zap him and he jumps up above the surface] Island, I got an awar... [chokes for air and floats back down] I gotta show SpongeBob.
Once Spongebob sees the trophy, he finds that it wasn’t actually for him after all.
· Patrick: See for yourself.
· SpongeBob: [his body is facedown but his face come out and reads the award] "For Outstanding Achievement In Achievement: SpongeBob SquarePants?"
· Patrick: SpongeBob SquarePants? That's a funny way to spell my name.
· SpongeBob: Patrick, I think the award is for me. You must have got it by mistake.
Patrick is disappointed, even more so when he sees the contents of SpongeBob's special award closet.
· SpongeBob: No, don't. That's my... [a bunch of awards pile out of SpongeBob's closet] ...award closet.
· Patrick: I want an award. [starts to cry]
· SpongeBob: [spongebob with ribbons in his eyes] Aww, Patrick, don't cry.
· SpongeBob: You'll get an award one day.
· Patrick: I'm never gonna get an award because I haven't done anything.
· SpongeBob: But you're Patrick...Star. You can do anything you want.
· Patrick: That's east for you to say. You're SpongeBob.
· SpongeBob: Patrick, if you wanna win an award, you have to do something.
So, eventually, Patrick decides to get a job at the Krusty Krab, where Spongebob works! However, Patrick is unable to perform even the simplest tasks properly.
· SpongeBob: Pick up order! [Patrick comes and eats the order]
· Patrick: Do I get my award, now?
· SpongeBob: No, you have to take the tray to the customer.
· Patrick: Ok. [tray gets to table but with no food. Patrick burps]
· SpongeBob: Almost. Try again and this time make sure the food gets to the table. [Patrick arrives with food on tray but then eats it as he sits down]
· Patrick: Like that?
· SpongeBob: Nope.
· Patrick: [spits out food at the customer as he talks] Barnacles!
And here comes the best part of the episode!
· [phone rings]
· Guy On Phone: Is this the Krusty Krab?
· Patrick: No, this is Patrick. [hangs up and starts whistling. phone rings again]
· Girl On Phone: Is this the Krusty Krab?
· Patrick: [annoyed] No! this is Patrick! [hangs up and continues to whistle. phone rings, yet again]
· Guy On Phone: Is this the Krusty Krab?
· Patrick: [irritated] NO!!! THIS IS PATRICK!!! [puts phone down] I'm not a Krusty Krab.
After he fails in every possible position of work, SpongeBob presents him with the extremely basic task of opening a jar, which Patrick still finds difficult. Eventually, however, Patrick succeeds in opening the jar, and he and SpongeBob begin celebrating.
· SpongeBob: Patrick, you did it!
· Patrick: I did? [both cheer as Patrick throws the jar into the floor] Touchdown!
· SpongeBob: That was great, Patrick! You really got the hang of it.
· Patrick: Yeah. Remember when I had my up? And I put it on the lid?
· SpongeBob: Oh, yeah.
· Patrick: Then I took the lid off and I thought I broke it.
· SpongeBob: [laughs] Yeah.
· Patrick: But I didn't. I opened the jar with my hand. And it was all because you showed me how to do it. I'm never gonna forget this.
· SpongeBob: Patrick, you do exactly what I do and you'll have an award in no time!
And that’s exactly what he does. The next day, he copies EVERYTHING Spongebob does in hopes of getting his first achievement.
· Patrick: Good morning, SpongeBob.
· SpongeBob: Wow. It's amazing how a simple change of clothes can make a guy look...just...like...me.
· Patrick: Yup. If I'm gonna be an award winner, I've gotta dress like one.
· SpongeBob: That's creepy...but flattering! I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready... [Patrick copies SpongeBob then SpongeBob stops]
· SpongeBob: Well, back to the ol' grind.
· Patrick: Well, back to the ol' grind.
· SpongeBob: Forget my hat.
· Patrick: Uhh, me, too.
· SpongeBob: [spongeBob mops the floor then puts the mop up. Patrick mops the floor but makes it slippery. SpongeBob comes out with a handful of plates and slips and breaks them all. Patrick follows in SpongeBob's footsteps]
· SpongeBob & Patrick: Whew! [drops his spatula]
· SpongeBob: [laughs] Dropped my spatula. [bends down to pick it up]
· Patrick: Uhh, me, too. [drops spatula then picks it up.]
When SpongeBob realizes this, he attempts to make him stop, but is unsuccessful.
· SpongeBob: Aha! [shows the fake hand] You're copying me!
· Patrick: Yes.
· SpongeBob: Why are you doing that?
· Patrick: So I can get an award like you.
· SpongeBob: Well, it's annoying, so stop it!
· Patrick: Stop it. [both imitate the others facial expressions]
· SpongeBob: Say, you're good.
· Patrick: Thanks.
· SpongeBob & Patrick: Ha! Darn. Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as...pickled fish lips!! [both cover their mouth] Sea weavle. Gorgy smorgy.
· SpongeBob: [voice over] At least I'm safe inside my mind.
· Patrick: [voice over] At least I'm safe inside my mind.
· SpongeBob & Patrick: Ahh!
And this leads to both of them running out of the Krusty Krab towards their houses.
· Patrick: Are you kidding? I used to do this way before I started copying you. [Patrick hits himself too hard and stops and gets a headache. SpongeBob runs into Patrick's rock painted as a SpongeBob's house]
· Patrick: My turn! [runs into the pineapple rock]
· SpongeBob: [runs into his pineapple] I wish I had the old Patrick back, but he just want to be like me.
So, to get Patrick to stop copying him, he decides to dress up like Patrick, which makes him realize the error of his ways.
· Patrick: What's so great about being a Big Pink Loser? [spongeBob's nose pokes out] Exactly. I was never closer to an award then the minute I started copying you.
· SpongeBob: But, Patrick...
· Patrick: Patrick's not here!
He then gets upset again until another delivery truck comes by.
· Delivery Guy: Trophy delivery! [shoves a trophy box in SpongeBob's mouth]
· SpongeBob: Another trophy?
· Patrick: Oh, great! What's it for this time?
· SpongeBob: 'For Doing Absolutely Nothing Longer Than Anyone Else'. Patrick! This trophy's for you!
And Patrick is happy that he finally achieved something. And because of this, he decides to go back under his rock so he can defend his title.
· Patrick: I'm gonna go protect my title. [jumps in his rock and falls asleep]
· Narrator: You thought I was kidding, did you? No, here in Bikini Bottom, success can even be found under a rock.
Overall, this episode was one of Season 2’s shiniest diamonds with an excellent plot and many good comical moments.
Hint for Number 13: I got you a new friend!
-
Okay, I though about it for a while, and I decided to choose a different episode as Number 14. The original episode was gonna be "Planet of the Jellyfish", but I decided to picik an episode that's much better, but I'm not gonna tell you what it is yet.
But I'll give you a hint: It involves Patrick getting a job.
-
5. Agreed completely! This episode just shows Squidward in such a dark light.
4. What what what?! I do respect your opinions though.
3. I liked it, but I can see why you didn't.
2. Never seen it.
1. This one was kind of creepy. I don't hate it as much as you do, but it's not one of the best episodes of Season 5.
-
I voted yes as well. Please continue!

Number 15: 20,000 Patties Under The Sea
Okay, a lot of people may not have expected an episode from Season 5 to be better than episodes like Chocolate With Nuts or Ripped Pants. But, as much as I love those two, I think that this episode is just a little bit better than those two and I’ll explain why in a couple minutes.
The episode begins with Spongebob and Patrick jellyfishing before tripping on a strange object sticking out of the ground.
· SpongeBob: Patrick, look! There's a weird thing sticking out of the ground right there.
· Patrick: That's just Squidward sunbathing again. [squidward lowers down his sunglasses]
· SpongeBob: No, not that, Patrick. This!
· Patrick: What is it?
· SpongeBob: I don't know. I think there's something buried underneath it. And I'm gonna go get some shovels so we can dig it up.
They dig up the object and find that it’s an old, abandoned submarine that must’ve crashed a long time ago. They decide to enter the submarine and activate it.
· SpongeBob: Well, there's gotta be a light switch around here somewhere. Found it. Excuse me, sir. [pulls off a skeleton and proceeds to start the submarine] Hey, Patrick, look! We're moving! And here's the steering wheel!
· Patrick: Now hold it, SpongeBob. You better let me drive.
· SpongeBob: Gimme that wheel!
· Patrick: No! Let go! I wanna drive! [the submarine goes crazy.]
The scene cuts to the Kristy Krab with Krabs wondering how they can get more customers (since there are none in the restaurant). Spongebob and Patrick’s submarine crashes into the Krusty Krab, giving Krabs and idea.
Mr. Krabs: That's it! We'll take the Krusty Krab on the road!
And before we go on, who can forget THIS memorable detail:
And thus Boating Buddies was born!
Anywho, Spongebob and Patrick are on the road again (pun intented) and soon, Plankton finds out about this.
· Plankton: [looking through a telescope] A traveling restaurant, eh? It's not fair! I had that idea years ago! No matter. If Mr. Krabs wants to play dirty, then Plankton's ready for his turn to take his turn. [laughs and turns the fist from the Chum Bucket building into a flying vehicle]
So, he decides to put HIS restaurant on the road as well. So what we get to see next is both mobile restaurants trying and failing to bring any new customers. That is until they find a "clever" way to sell Krabby Patties... as burnt-up, hard-as-rock ashes to throw at Plankton. Now they don't have THAT idea in mind, it just so happens that Plankton ticked some people off by calling them idiots, and they want to retaliate.
Plankton: Hello, little boy. Would you like a chum burger?
Boy: Uh, does it come in raspberry?
Plankton: Um, no.
Boy: Blueberry?
Plankton: No.
Boy: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...raspberry?
Plankton: Ah, come on, kid. You asked me that already. Now quit wasting my time!
Mable: Hey, you can't talk to my son that way! Who do you think you are?
Plankton: I'm Plankton, you old hag. And your son smells like boogers.
Truck Driver: Hey, you can't talk about my wife that way. What do you think this is?
Plankton: I think it's time for you to lose some weight, fatty. That's what this is.
Mary: Hey, you can't talk to my grandson like that. Someone oughta put you in a mental hospital.
Plankton: Someone should put you in a box floating down the river, Grandma!
· Plankton: You people are crazy. I'm getting out of here. [a person throws a rock at Plankton] What the? [People start throwing rocks] No! Controls malfunctioning! [people continue to throw rocks]
· SpongeBob: Hey, Patrick.
· Patrick: Yeah?
· SpongeBob: Weren't you supposed to be on kitchen duty? [cut to the kitchen, where the patties are burnt] Oh, no. You burnt all the patties. It's hard as a rock. How are we gonna find somebody who would buy these?
· Truck Driver: [sees there are no more rocks] Hey, the rocks are all gone.
· Crowd: Aww! [Plankton smiles, but sees SpongeBob coming]
· SpongeBob: Folks, have I got a deal for you. [the crowd sees the hard patties. They buy them and proceed to hit Plankton with them]
· Jack: Alright, get 'im! [they start to throw the patty rocks at Plankton]
That scene was actually kinda funny, as Plankton had it coming. Anyways, Spongebob and Patrick are doing well until they start to fall into an abyss.
· Spongebob: See any new customers, Patrick?
· Patrick: No, but I see a sign. It says. "Warning: Ab...eyes?"
· SpongeBob: Here, let me see. [looks through periscope] No, Patrick, that says "Abyss."
· Patrick: Oh, OK. What's an abyss, SpongeBob?
· SpongeBob: An abyss is a bottomless... [spongeBob turns around, the submarine falls down the abyss] ...chasm! [an alarm goes off]
After SpongeBob and Patrick land on the bottom of the abyss, they find out they didn't land on ground... rather, we get introduced to... an abyss monster. A pretty annoying monster who whines about being hungry, after he realizes that SpongeBob and Patrick are in a mobile restaurant. So they make food for the monster, and get paid... with giant money. If Krabs saw this, he would be probably have a heart attack of joy.
· Sea Monster: [he eats the Krabby Patty] Mmm! That's the best thing I've tasted since that sewer spill...back in '76. I'll take 640 of them.
· SpongeBob and Patrick: Woo hoo!
· Patrick: Order...uh...up! [the Sea Monster gives them large wads of cash]
Plankton thinks that Spongebob and Patrick are gone, so he can sell his chum, until…
Plankton: [looks at the Sea Monster paying them big money [literally], he rips off the periscope] This calls for drastic-er-est measures! [Plankton goes into the abyss] Okay, you bums, time for the second course; Chum Charges!
Plankton attacks the other restaurant, the monster gets ticked off that SpongeBob and Patrick are out of food... until they realize, they can sell Plankton's ammo to the monster as food! And the monster happens to love these “chum-witches” that Spongebob and Patrick are serving him.
· Sea Monster: [eats it and likes it] Mmm! Now that's a sandwich!
· [cut to a sequence of SpongeBob making Chum-Wiches, Patrick collecting the Chum, and the Sea Monster paying them for the Chum-Wiches]
· SpongeBob: [the monsters belly is still rumbling] Anything else before we shove off?
· Sea Monster: I want dessert!
Soon, Plankton parachutes into the abyss near the submarine and then…
· Plankton: [lands from his parachute] Don't give another penny to those fast-food phonies. That's right, they stole my idea. My, my, my... [the end of the periscope breaks off, he falls down and rolls into some wet mud]
· Sea Monster: Hey, a chocolate éclair! [to audience] Now that looks like dessert to me!
· Plankton: No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! You- You've got it all wrong, see... Hey! [the Sea Monster chases Plankton through the abyss.
After that, Spongebob and Patrick are able to get out of the abyss and they return to the Krusty Krab.
· Janitor: [repairing the windows SpongeBob and Patrick broke previously] There you are, Mr. Krabs, just like new again.
· Squidward: Now all we have to do is keep SpongeBob away from the... [the submarine crashes into the windows again]
· SpongeBob: We're back, Mr. Krabs!
· Mr. Krabs: Tell me all about it. Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me!
· SpongeBob: You wouldn't believe it Mr. Krabs, we had so many new customers!
· Mr. Krabs: I don't care about that. Tell me about the money.
And it turns out that they came back penniless. But did they come back with nothing? Not exactly…
· SpongeBob: There we were at the bottom of a deep, dark, abyss. And we had to let go of something heavy.
· Patrick: And paper.
· Mr. Krabs: You let go of all the money I earned as ballast?
· SpongeBob: [he and Patrick nod their heads, Mr. Krabs is upset] But on the bright side, we did manage to bring back 37,000 pounds of these decorative deep sea rocks! [a bumnch of multi-colored rocks fall out of the submarine]
Although that may not have been one of the best endings to ever exist, this episode had many redeemable qualities to it. I thought that this episode had a very original and creative plot (surprising for Season 5) and they did manage to fit some laugh-out-loud humor into it (Byeeeee Squidward). The idea of having a mobile Krusty Krab (plus the idea of meeting an abyss monster) was really cool. Overall, this is an episode that I’m sure many people would enjoy!
Spongebob: Byeeeeeee Squidward…

Chocolate With nuts is one of my favorite SpongeBob episodes. It's so funny. #16 is Ripped Pants?
Ripped Pants
Both of you are right.
Number 16: Ripped Pants
In this episode, Spongebob and Sandy are playing around Goo Lagoon when Larry passes by and invites them to lift weights.
Larry: Hey Sandy. Hey SpongeBob.
Sandy: Hey Larry.
Larry: You guys wanna go lift some weights?
Sandy: Sure. [she and Larry walk off] Well come on, SpongeBob. [spongeBobs sand pizzas fall flat as he walks on dejectedly]
SpongeBob: [disappointingly] Coming.
They accept the offer and they go to a stadium where they can show off their weight-lifting skills. Sandy and Larry can lift up to 5 tons, but it seems like Spongebob can’t really lift weights at all.
· Larry: Give it a try, Sandy. [sandy stands in front of a weight. She picks it up, grunting as she does so. The crowd cheers for her, and she throws the weight down]
· SpongeBob: Good job, Sandy. Well, that's about enough for today, don't you think? [spongeBob tries to walk off]
· Larry: How about a little more weight? [Larry bends down to pick up a weight heavier than Sandy's] Observe. [Larry grunts as he picks it up, his eyes bulging, and veins stick out from his neck. The crowd cheers, and Larry throws the weight down]
· SpongeBob: Alright, stand back everyone. [spongeBob picks up a single twig from the ground. The crowd is silent. He sinks into the sand. Sandy walks to a weight]
· Sandy: Y'all watch this! [sandy picks up an anchor weight. The crowd cheers for her, but stop when they realize Larry has lifted the spectator stands] Way to go Larry!
Spongebob tries to lift up a stick (really?) (with 2 marshmallows on each end) when his shorts suddenly tear in the back. Because of this, the crowd starts laughing at him, which leads him to walk away, embarrassed. Until…
· Scooter: THAT was too funny. [he slaps SpongeBob on the back] YOU are hilarious!
· Sandy: Aint he the funniest little Sponge you ever saw? [spongeBob grins widely.]
So, because of this, Spongebob decides to use this to his advantage and even make funny jokes about ripping his pants.
· SpongeBob: I could use a hand here! [he laughs. Sandy walks over and helps him up]
· Sandy: You okay, SpongeBob?
· SpongeBob: I guess so... [he does a handstand, revealing his pants] ...except I ripped my pants! [the crowd laughs, and Scooter walks up to SpongeBob once again]
· Scooter: You still got it, dude! [he slaps SpongeBob on the back again. Cut to SpongeBob and Sandy walking to an ice cream vendor]
· Lou Vendor: May I help you?
· SpongeBob: Ill take a banana split.
· Lou: Uh, we don't have that.
· SpongeBob: That's okay. I already split my pants! Get it? [sandy giggles]
· Lou: [annoyed] Tee-hee. Anything else?
· SpongeBob: How about ripple? [he does so, Sandy giggles again] No thanks, already got one! [sandy drops laughing and SpongeBob happily bounces off to a snack bar.]
But, as the episode progresses, Spongebob’s ripped pants gag gets old pretty quickly.
Perch Perkins: Surfs up in the Goo Lagoon. [fish are surfing. Close-up of the Perkins] And here comes Larry, doing his trademark lay-back. [cut to Larry lying on his surfboard] There goes Sandy, hanging ten... fingers, that is. [cut to Sandy doing a handstand on her surfboard] There goes SpongeBob... [rip] ripping his pants again.
Suddenly, a wave knocks Spongebob off his surfboard and washes him up on the beach. And THIS is where his torn pants gag is taken WAY too far!
· Lifeguard: Hey, look! A cardboard box washed up on the beach. [he takes a closer look through his telescope] Holy fish paste! Its a guy! [he sprints over to SpongeBob and flips him over] Why?! WHY?! WHHHHHYYYY?!!!!!!! [a crowd gathers around SpongeBob and the lifeguard]
· Sandy: SpongeBob!
· SpongeBob: [to lifeguard] Come closer. [a divine light shines on him] I need... I need...
· Lifeguard: What do you need? [tears come to the lifeguards and Sandy's eyes]
· SpongeBob: [pats the lifeguard on the shoulder. Close up of SpongeBob's mouth] A tailor. [the light turns off, accompanied by a light switch] Because I ripped my pants! [he laughs. The lifeguard takes a serious face, drops SpongeBob, and the crowd surrounding him walks off, angrily. SpongeBob is left alone and Sandy walks up to him]
· Sandy: That wasn't funny, SpongeBob! Y'all had me worried sick! [she walks off. Scooter walks towards SpongeBob and looks at him sadly]
· Scooter: Dude... [he walks off.]
He attempts to revive the joke by ripping his entire pants off, but it fails. After realizing that he has driven all his friends away, he asks himself if he is the biggest loser on the beach. This question is answered by three other beach goers, who think they are the biggest losers on the beach: Murray who forgot to put on sunscreen, Dexter who got sand in his burger buns, and Don who was buried in the sand and forgotten. Upon asking what happened to Spongebob, Spongebob decides to tell his story, through song (in which the other 3 join in). And then the upcoming scene kicks off another one of the best musical numbers ever!
After that song, a huge crowd has gathered around Spongebob and Sandy (and Larry) come to him, understanding how he feels and that he apologizes for his mistake.
· SpongeBob: Sandy! [she jumps on onstage and hugs SpongeBob]
· Sandy: Your song is true. If y'all want to be my friend, just be yourself. [Larry walks up]
· Larry: SpongeBob, that was so righteous. Would you... sign my pants?
· SpongeBob: Absolutely, buddy. [spongeBob bends down to sign Larry's pants. His underpants rip off, leaving SpongeBob nude (he’s also blushing). Someone off-screen whistles]
This was definitely a perfect episode that has a relatable plot and a good meaning to it. Just like the message says; just be yourself! Overall, this is an episode that has a brilliant plot with an excellent message.
Hint for next episode: The Krusty Krab is going mobile! (this should be an easy one)

Number 17: Chocolate With Nuts
This happens to be one of the most beloved episodes to have ever existed, and with good reason two!
In this episode, SpongeBob finds a magazine called Fancy Living Digest in his mail, which depicts the lifestyles of the extremely wealthy. Squidward shows up and takes the magazine, which was actually for him. Wanting to achieve a fancier lifestyle, Spongebob and Patrick go around selling chocolate bars.
At first, this doesn’t work, as no one wants to buy chocolate bars. And then there’s THIS guy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyKLGA37MBU
He pretty much goes around stalking them while screaming “CHOCOLATE!” and chasing them off at several points.
Anywho, eventually, Spongebob and Patrick find another way to sell chocolate; which is to “stretch” the truth. Lies. So, they go around selling chocolate by “stretching the truth” into different things. What kinds of “exaggerations” you ask? Well, let’s see:
· SpongeBob: It'll make your hair grow.
· [Cut to Fred]
· Fred: Great! My wife's trying to grow a beard!
· [Cut to SpongeBob and Patrick, Patrick has a sad face this time]
· SpongeBob: It'll make you sound smart.
· [Cut to the customer holding money]
· Customer: [southern accent] I'll take 20!
· [Cut to Patrick]
· Patrick: It'll keep your face from getting any uglier.
· [Cut to the two Patricks]
· Patrick 2: Just in time.
· [Cut to SpongeBob and Patrick over and over]
· SpongeBob: They'll make you fly!
· Patrick: You'll fall in love!
· SpongeBob: They'll bring world peace!
· Patrick: You'll walk through walls!
· SpongeBob: [echoing] You'll rule the world!!
So, after selling chocolates to almost EVERYONE in town, they don’t know what to do anymore, until…
· [Tom appears behind the box]
· Tom: CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!! [screams and knocks SpongeBob, Patrick and the boxes over. Cuts to SpongeBob and Patrick. SpongeBob and Patrick babble]
· SpongeBob: No! Don't hurt us. Please don't hurt me. No no. Pleaseeee.
· Patrick: No! Don't hurt us, Tom. Please Spare Me! [Cuts to Tom laughing manically]
· Tom: Finally! I've been trying to catch you boys all day! Now that I got you right where I want you... I'd like to buy all your chocolate. [Holds up a large amount of cash.]
So, they sell the chocolate to Tom (chocolate fish) and wonder what to spend the money on. And then, they have an idea!
· Patrick: But what are we going to spend it on?
· [Cut to SpongeBob thinking. Bubbles come up and cut to the next scene, a boat in a bottle with "Fancy!" on top is seen. Cut to the inside of the boat]
· Squidward: [Walking in from the left] Good evening, sir. Table for one, please.
· [Cut to the server]
· Server: Sorry, but the whole restaurant has been rented to a private party.
· [Cut to Squidward shocked]
· Squidward: But it's my only night to be fancy! Oh, who could afford to rent out the whole restraunt?
· [Cut to the Server and Squidward]
· Server: Oh, a couple of rich entrepreneurs and their [leaning over to Squidward] dates.
· [Cut to SpongeBob, Patrick, Mary, and Mary's mother, Mary is seen holding a glass]
· SpongeBob: So, how long have you two ladies known each other?
So that’s basically the episode in a nutshell! I thought it was an interesting plot, and the humor worked well into the episode. And you wanna know the best part?
· SpongeBob: Good afternoon sir, could we interest you in some [holds up chocolate bar] chocolate?
· Tom: Chocolate? Did you say, Chocolate?!
· Patrick: Yes sir. With or without nuts?
· Tom: Chocolate?! CHOCOLATE?!?!?! CHOCOLAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!! CHOCOLAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!!
· [spongeBob and Patrick slowly back away then run off. Tom chases them while madly screaming: "CHOCOLAAATE!!!".]
Everybody likes Tom! Although the plot was good and the humor worked well, I think it was the chocolate fish who was the real star of the show!
Hint for the next episode: Torn Clothing
· [Pause]
· Mother (the old lady’s mother from earlier): What? What did he say?

Wishing You Well?
Skill Crane was great. #18 is Wishing You Well.
Both of you are correct!
Number 18: Wishing You Well
In this episode, Mr. Krabs learns about wishing wells, before opening one of his own.
· Mr. Krabs: [enters Krusty Krab] Squidward, SpongeBob, I got a new job for ya. [scene cuts to outside Krusty Krab where there is a red X on the ground] X marks the spot of the Eugene Krabs Memorial Wishing Well
· SpongeBob: A wishing well, here? Wow!
· Squidward: Don't you have to be dead to have a memorial anything?
Basically, Krabs makes Spongebob and Squidward dig a hole to build this wishing well. And while they build the wishing well, Spongebob sings one of the best songs ever involving magic.
- SpongeBob: Squidward, aren't you excited? This is really gonna help people. ♪Take a penny and some magic, even though your life is tragic...♪
- Squidward: Hey!
{{L|SpongeBob|♪...you can throw all your dreams down the well! Although everyday the pain grows, you ride unicorns on rainbows, if you throw all your dreams down the well. When your life's come apart at the seams and you've given up all your dreams, here is just the means to make those dreams come true. No more suffering, no more sighin', no more pain and no more cryin'.♪
- Squidward: I'm not cryin'! [spongeBob hits him with wand] Ow. Ow.
- SpongeBob: ♪When you throw all your dreams down the well.♪ [puts an "open" sign in front of the well] Well, Squidward, what do you think?
After they’re done, Mr. Krabs gives Spongebob the job of sitting inside the well and collecting all the coins that fall down into it.
· [scene cuts to SpongeBob being lowered in the well by a bucket] Why do I have to go down in the well?
· Mr. Krabs: To collect the money!
· SpongeBob: How long do I have to stay down here?
· Mr. Krabs: See ya in 8 hours.
And soon enough, people start making wishes and throwing the coins down the well (Sandy wants a telescope, Mrs. Puff wants a new boat, and Plankton wants to be a giant). Soon, Patrick comes and, being the sillyhead that he is, falls down into the well (wishing that Spongebob were with him to see… the “magical talking trashcan” [the well]).
Spongebob notices that no one is getting their wishes. So, knowing that he believed hard enough, decides to dig deeper for magic (with the help of Patrick).
· SpongeBob: Aww, no one's wishes are coming true. What did we do wrong? I know I believe hard enough. Maybe I just didn't dig deep enough. What do you say, Patrick? Are you ready to dig for some magic?
· Patrick: Yeah!
SpongeBob: ♪Oh, the magic has gone missin' and everyone's still wishin' but their dreams have fallen flat upon the ground. You'll find magic under rubble so, Patrick, grab a shovel and here is where the magic can be found. We're at the bottom of a well but man won't it be swell, when we make everyone's wishes all come true.♪ [digs a hole and something yellow glows from the hole] Holy mackerel, look Patrick! We've struck magic!
Eventually, Squidward passes by the well.
· Squidward: Having fun down there, SpongeBob? [laughs]
· Patrick: Hi, Squidward.
· Squidward: Patrick's down there, too? It just gets better and better.
· SpongeBob: Do you wanna make a wish?
· Squidward: [laughs] I got my wish. You two are stuck in a dark hole and away from me.
· SpongeBob: Guess what, Squidward? We found the magic.
· Squidward: [laughs] There's no magic, SpongeBob. Wishing well's are just a scam to fool saps like you. [laughs]
· SpongeBob: No, it's true! We did find the magic. Oh, I wish you could see it. [squidward falls down the well landing on SpongeBob and Patrick]
And for the next few minutes, Squidward and Patrick fight until daylight.
· Squidward: Could you not stand so close? You're making me claustrophobic.
· Patrick: What does claustrophobic mean?
· SpongeBob: It means he's afraid of Santa Claus.
· Squidward: No, it doesn't.
· Patrick: Ho, ho, ho! [giggles]
· SpongeBob: Stop it, Patrick, you're scaring him!
· Patrick: Ho, ho, ho!
· Squidward: It's not working, Patrick.
· Patrick: Darn.
· SpongeBob: Umm, Squidward, you're standing on my foot.
· Squidward: Oh, sorry, SpongeBob.
· Patrick: [holding a plate of ribs] And you got your elbow in my ribs.
· Squidward: Eww. Patrick!
· Patrick: [shoves Squidward] And stop stepping in my potato salad.
· SpongeBob: Hey, hey, hey, guys.
· Squidward: [shoves Patrick] Stop pushing me, Patrick.
· Patrick: Oh, you mean like this? [shoves Squidward]
· Squidward: No, like this! [shoves Patrick] [both Patrick and Squidward are fighting]
When daylight arrives, Mr. Krabs carries Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward out of the wishing well.
· Mr. Krabs: Good morning, SpongeBob! Let's see what ya got. [raises the bucket] Boy, it's heavy. Must be a lot of money. [squidward comes out of the well]
· Squidward: Free. I'm free!
· Mr. Krabs: Squidward? What were you doing down there? I didn't approve of the overtime. Or were you sneaking here in the dead of night for free wishes?
· Squidward: The only thing I wish for is to be far away from here. [gets hit by a bus that is traveling to 'very very far away'>
After that, Krabs asks Spongebob how much he collected during the night, in which Spongebob replies by saying that instead of getting money, they found magic!
· SpongeBob: We dug down deeper in the well and found the magic. Now all the wishes will come true!
· Mr. Krabs: Listen closely, SpongeBob. You don't get what you want in life just by wishing for it. [a big telescope with an eye looking out of it appears. Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob scream] What in the deep blue is that?
· Sandy: There's a full moon out tonight. Do you like my new telescope I wished for?
· SpongeBob: That's great, Sandy!
· Sandy: That wishing well sure does work.
· Mr. Krabs: Just a coincidence. [Mrs. Puff drives up in a new boat]
· Mrs. Puff: What do you think of my new hot rod?
· SpongeBob: It's beautiful, Mrs. Puff. How's about letting me take it for a spin? [both laugh]
· Mrs. Puff: No. [drives off]
· SpongeBob: See, Mr. Krabs? She wished for that boat.
· Mr. Krabs: You mean she stole that boat.
· Plankton: [walks up gigantically tall] Morning, SpongeBob. Krabs. Beautiful day. [laughs and runs over to the buildings and knocks them over]
· SpongeBob: Is that proof enough for ya?
But, this doesn’t change Krabs’ mind about the idea that magic isn’t real. And he decides to prove it by making a wish about himself.
· Mr. Krabs: You'll never get me to believe in magic, never! Just to prove it to ya. [walks over to the well] I'll demonstrate. I wish...I was steamed and served with a side of melted butter. [lets go of the penny and laughs]
· SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs! No!!
· Mr. Krabs: Well, where's your magic now? [vanishes in thin air and appears as a real crab on a plate] Oh, where am I? What's going on here? [person sits down and puts on an eating bib that says "THE END" on it] Uh-oh. I do believe in magic. I do believe in magic. I do believe in magic. Oh-no!!
And the moral of the story is: Be careful what you wish for!
I thought this episode was perfect! The idea of holding a wishing well was very creative and the part where all of their wishes came true was very interesting as well. I really recommend this episode to a high extent! Definitely recommended more than its partner, All That Glitters.
Hint for next episode: This guy is screaming the same word over and over.

Help Wanted was a great episode. #19 is Krusty Towers?
Krusty Towers is an honorable mention. A BIG one!
Krusty Towers? Band geeks? Selling out?
Again, it's an honorable mention. Band Geeks is higher on this list. It's not Selling Out.
uhuwmSELLING OUT?
It's not Selling Out.
Number 19: Skill Crane
A lot of people may not expect to hear this, but Season 4 has to be my second favorite season because, like the first 3 seasons, it has many good, creative, and even funny episodes (except for Squid Wood and All That Glitters). This happens to be one of them.
In this episode, a business man comes to the Krusty Krab door, making Mr. Krabs believe that he’s a tax collector.
Mr. Krabs: What? Guy in a suit? No, it's a tax collector! [jumps inside SpongeBob] Hide us, SpongeBob! [takes the register in with him] We'll just walk non-schelauntly to the real exit.
He hides until the man reveals himself to be a vending salesman who happens to be selling a skill crane (one of those crane games where you collect a toy using a metal claw).
· R.A. Penny Pincher: Bring it in, boys.
· Mr. Krabs: That's it, set her down easy.
· R.A. Penny Pincher: Here are the keys, Mr. Krabs. Happy vending!
· Squidward: What is it?
· Mr. Krabs: Only the greatest money maker since the Krabby Patty. Gentlemen, meet skill crane.
· SpongeBob: Ooh, skill crane.
· Mr. Krabs: At a quarter a pop, this thing will pay for itself in no time.
And so, he offers his two employees a try on the machine.
· Mr. Krabs: Step up boys. First one's free. [takes out two golden coins]
· SpongeBob: Thanks, Mr. Krabs. [takes coin]
· Squidward: No thanks, I'll pass.
· Mr. Krabs: C'mon, Squidward, you know you want to.
· Squidward: [sighs] Okay, if you insist. [takes coin and puts it in his pocket] Thanks.
· Mr. Krabs: Squidward! In the machine.
· Squidward: All right, all right. [puts coin in machine and moves crane] Oh, boy, what fun. [crane almost pulls out a dinosaur]
· Skill Crane: You lose!
· Squidward: [suddenly goes berserk] Did you see that, SpongeBob? I almost got that on my first try!
· Mr. Krabs: [satisfied] My work here is done.
At first, Squidward seems uninterested. But, when Spongebob continues to play the skill crane (in which he always wins)…
SpongeBob: [skill crane makes the sound of a winner. SpongeBob walks by with a blue prize animal from the skill crane] Hey, Squidward. [skill crane makes the sound of a winner. SpongeBob walks by with a rabbit from the skill crane] Hey, Squidward. [skill crane makes the sound of a winner. SpongeBob walks by with a two-headed pink prize animal from the skill crane] Hey, Squidward.
Squidward becomes tempted. And then this creepy scene comes up!
Skill Crane: (zooms in on the claw) [distinct scratchy voice] Squid…ward. [crane swinging back and forth] Squid…ward.
I dare you to tell me that that voice isn’t creepy! Anyways, Squidward pays for the coins to play the skill crane, but he keeps losing, over and over… until he runs out of cash.
· Mr. Krabs: Need some change?
· Squidward: No.
· Mr. Krabs: What? Why?
· Squidward: Because...I'm...all...out...of...MONEY!!
But, Krabs doesn’t want him to quit, so…
Mr. Krabs: [comes out of his office] Boys, it's payday!
He gives Spongebob his paycheck, then gives Squidward his paycheck… in the form of quarters. Squidward denies that he’ll play, but six hours later, he continues to lose on that crane. He tries to spend the rest of the day without the skill crane, but he just can’t take his mind off it, so he decides to run out of his house (in the middle of the night) with his piggy bank and try to win again.
But, when Spongebob enters the Krusty Krab the next morning, he finds that Squidward is crying on the floor because he’s desperate to win on that machine. So, he decides to help by telling him the secret to winning.
· SpongeBob: Hey, you want me to tell you the secret of how to win on this machine?
· Squidward: [gasps] SpongeBob, there's a secret?
· SpongeBob: Mm-hmm.
· Squidward: Tell me...the...secret.
· SpongeBob: Are you ready to be a winner?
· Squidward: Yes.
· SpongeBob: Yeah?
· Squidward: Yes.
· SpongeBob: Yeah?
· Squidward: Yes.
· SpongeBob: Yeah?
· Squidward: SpongeBob! The secret?!
· SpongeBob: Okay, Squidward, okay. I face the crane. Deposit my quarter. Then I close my eyes.
· Squidward: Close your eyes?
· SpongeBob: Quiet, Squidward. I'm being the crane.
· Squidward: Oh, that's ludi...
· Skill Crane: Winner!
· SpongeBob: See? Now you try.
Squidward, at first, thinks that this is ridiculous. But, when he does what Spongebob tells him, he actually wins for the first time and gets a teddy bear! He’s so excited by this that he starts to brag about it.
· Squidward: Whoo-hoo! Yeah! I knew I could do it. I'm a winner!
· SpongeBob: You're a winner!
· Squidward: I am a winner, aren't I? Winner, winner, winner! [twirls] Wiiiiiinner. [over loudspeaker] I'M A WINNER, EVERYBODY! YOU HEAR THAT?!
And when Squidward walks outside with Spongebob, still bragging, he sees a real crane far away and he runs to it.
· Squidward: SpongeBob, look. [a real crane is just a few yards away. Squidward runs to it]
· SpongeBob: Uhh, Squidward, I don't think the same principles apply.
· Squidward: [activates the crane] Be the crane.
· SpongeBob: Wait, Squidward!
· Squidward: Be the crane. [picks up an I-beam]
· SpongeBob: He did it. Yay, Squidward!
· Squidward: Be the crane. Be the crane. Be the…
· Construction Worker: You know this guy?
· SpongeBob: Yeah, that's Squidward. He's got the magic touch. [pokes the construction worker] Ding.
This all goes well until Squidward accidentally knocks over some buildings, angering the construction workers. Then, mass chaos ensues…
· SpongeBob: Ah! Squidward, open your eyes!
· Squidward: [opens eyes] Oh, uhh, be the crane. Be the crane. [could not control crane; he whacks the workers with a beam] Look out, SpongeBob. I can't stop! [crane chases after SpongeBob & workers; SpongeBob's eyes bug out so he runs away on them] Be the crane. Be the crane. Be the crane. Okay, don't be the crane! Don't be the crane! [Everybody runs in terror and take cover in the Krusty Krab. crane spins around fast and heads towards the Krusty Krab destroying it]
· Squidward: [making an attempt to run] Oh, my. Oh, my. Time to go, Teddy. [bumps into large construction worker]
· Construction Worker: Just where do you think you're going, crane master? [All workers surround Squidward, ready to beat him up]
· Construction Worker #2: You ain't going anywhere.
· SpongeBob: [whistles] Hang on, buddy. I got ya. [uses crane to get Squidward but instead gets his prize] I guess I can only pick up toys.
· Squidward: Uh-oh.
While the ending was a little odd, and a bit extreme, I thought that this was an excellent episode of Spongebob (just a little better than Number 20)! This episode had a decent plot, a lot of good humor, and it did have a story I’m sure that many people can relate to.
Hint for next episode: Speak your true desires and they will come true.

Hello there! A while ago, I created a Bottom 20 Episodes list, as well as 5 of the worst ones from the first 3 seasons. Now, however, I'm going to make a list involving the best episodes of Spongebob! Because, even though it has had its bad episodes, it also has many excellent episodes, too! So, I'm going to share with you all my top 20 BEST Spongebob Episodes!
20: Help Wanted
So, to kick off the Top 20, we have Help Wanted! Ah, the episode that started it all. This is an episode where we are introduced to most of the characters. This episode may not have given me many laughs, but it did have a simple, but excellent plot!
The episode begins with the narrator introducing the characters, before having Spongebob get ready to apply for a job at the Krusty Krab.
French Narrator: Ah, the sea. So fascinating. So wonderful. Here, we see Bikini Bottom, teeming with life. [shows from left to right Patrick's, Squidward's, and SpongeBob's houses. Zooms in on SpongeBob's house] Home to one of my favorite creatures, SpongeBob SquarePants. Yes, of course he lives in a pineapple, you silly. [spongeBob's alarm sounds; he wakes, but is unaffected by the annoying sound, and with a smile turns it off. He climbs from his bed to a ladder leading to a diving board]
SpongeBob: Today's the big day, Gary!
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: [Jumps on the diving board] Look at me, I'm… [Jumps up, and leaves his underwear behind] nakeeeeeeeeeed! [Lands inside pants, walks over to exercise room. His head pops out of the top of his pants] Got to be in top physical condition for today, Gary.
One he heads in front of the Krusty Krab, he starts to fear that he may not be good enough. And this is when Patrick comes in.
Patrick: Where do you think you're going?
SpongeBob: I was just…
Patrick: No you're not. You're going to the Krusty Krab and get that job!
SpongeBob: I can't, don't you see? I'm not good enough!
Patrick: Whose first words were "may I take your order"?
SpongeBob: Mine were.
Patrick: Who made a spatula out of toothpicks in wood shop?
SpongeBob: I did.
Patrick: [Grimaces and contorts twice while trying to come up with a good third line] Whos a, uh... whos uhh. oh! who's a big yellow cube with holes?
SpongeBob: I am!
Patrick: Who's ready?
SpongeBob: I'm ready!
Patrick: Who's ready?
SpongeBob: I'm ready!
Patrick: Who's ready?
SpongeBob: I'M READY! I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!
Once he heads to the Krusty Krab, we get introduced to Mr. Krabs and Squidward as Spongebob attempts to apply.
· SpongeBob: Permission to come aboard, captain! [deep voice] Ive been training my whole life for the day I could join the Krusty Krew, [normal voice] And now Im ready. [spongeBob trips on a nail stuck in the floorboard. His fall causes him to bounce against the ceiling, SpongeBob shouts and blurts incomprehensibly while his bounces and ricochets around the building accelerate. He then rolls to a stop at the feet of Squidward and Mr. Krabs] So, uh, when do I start?
· Mr. Krabs: Well lad, it looks like you don't even have your sea legs.
· SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, please. Ill prove Im fry cook material. Ask Squidward, he'll vouch for me. [Mr. Krabs and Squidward quickly walk away from SpongeBob]
· Squidward: [deep breath] No. [Mr. Krabs winks. They head back to SpongeBob]
And then Mr. Krabs gives Spongebob a little test, which is to get what sounds like a super techy spatula that supposedly doesn’t exist.
· Mr. Krabs: Well lad, well give you a test, and if you pass, youll be on the Krusty Krew! Go out and fetch me ... [spongeBob takes out a notepad] ...a, uh, hydrodynamic spatula... [spongeBob quickly jots down what he says] with, um, port-and-starboard-attachments, [more scribbling] and, uh... turbo drive! [more scribbling] And dont come back till you get one! [Mr. Krabs puts a Krusty Krab crew hat on SpongeBob. SpongBob sees how he looks in a mirror, there are sparkles on his hat, and he has a huge, satisfied smile]
· SpongeBob: [saluting Krabs] Aye aye, captain! [reading] One hydrodynamic spatula, with port-and-starboard attachments, turbo drive, coming right up, Sir!
· Mr. Krabs: Carry on! [spongeBob leaves] Well never see that lubber again.
· Squidward: Youre terrible! A hydro-what? [squidward and Mr. Krabs laugh.]
But, as soon as Spongebob leaves, Squiddy and Krabs stop laughing as they see 5 buses come by. Krabs recognizes the scent as the scent of anchovies when suddenly…
· [Anchovies get out of the buses and rush inside the Krusty Krab, crowding, repeating the word "meep" over and over again]
· Squidward: Please, please, quiet! [anchovies stop talking] Is this any way to behave, hmmm?
· Anchovy: Eat!
· Squidward: Could we show a little decency and form a neat, single file line in front of the register? [The anchovies are quiet at first, then pick up the boat, as their cries of "meep!" become more intense.]
And now both Squidward and Krabs are stuck in the boat, trying to get away from all the anchovies. They think they’re screwed when Spongebob flies in with…
SpongeBob: Permission to come aboard captain! Da da da da da da da! Da da da da da da da da da da! Did someone order a spatula? [squidward and Krabs are shocked] Thats right! One hydrodynamic spatula with [two spatulas pop out on the sides of the previous one] port-and-starboard attachments, and lets not forget the turbo drive! [the two extending spatulas twirl around]
And then Spongebob cooks and serves the anchovies, burger after burger, while a VERY amusing song plays. After all the fish are finished eating and are well fed, Krabs cheers for Spongebob and hires him as his new fry cook.
· Mr. Krabs: That was the finest fast foodsmanship Ive ever seen, Mr. SquarePants! Welcome aboard! [Mr. Krabs gives SpongeBob a name tag]
· Squidward: But, but Mr. Krabs...
· Mr. Krabs: Three cheers for SpongeBob! Hip-hip!
· Squidward: [weakly] Hooray, Mr.-
· Mr. Krabs: Hip-hip!
· Squidward: [quickly] Hooray,
· Mr. Krabs: Hip-hip!
· Squidward: [quickly] Hooray. Mr. Krabs!
· Mr. Krabs: I'll be in my quarters, counting up the booty. [He wheels a wheelbarrow piled with an enormous stack of cash to his office.]
Overall, this was a very good way to start the show. Although I didn’t laugh very much (I generally don’t search for humor in these episodes), the plot was creative, we got introduced to the characters, and the episode overall was perfect. Plus the music that played while Spongebob served the patties was kinda funny.
· [Patrick enters]
· Patrick: Good morning, Krusty Krew!
· Squidward: What would you like to order, Patrick?
· Patrick: One Krabby Patty, please. [spongeBob flies back to the kitchen using his spatula and a score of Krabby Patties is immediately fired through the servery, which collide with Patrick and send him flying out of the Krusty Krab. Cuts to Krusty Krab exterior; crashing noises]
· Patrick: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
· Squidward: Mr. Krabs! Mr. KRABS!!! [calmly and singing] Mr. Krabs, come see your new employeeeeeeeee!
Hint for the next episode: An upgrade to the Krusty Krab!

Thank you. I might do a top 20 BEST episodes soon.

I'm glad Atlantis SquarePants wasn't #1. The most underrated SpongeBob episode. I hated A Pal for Gary but It's not my #1. Mine is Pets or Pests. Great list in my opinion. I wonder why Squid's Visit and Boating Buddies wasn't on the list. There are worse than Squid Wood in my opinion.
I agree. The first time I watched the Atlantian one I didn't see any problems with it (except for the video game scene with the giant nose).
Pet or Pests wasn't too bad in my opinion, but it was kinda gross.
Squid's Visit was alright because I do like episodes with a dark/twisted feel to them.
As for Boating Buddies, that one wasn't too bad either. I did find Spongebob's face kinda funny (though disturbing). I actually can't stare at that face without wanting to laugh!
As for Squid Wood, that one sucks, but I don't really HATE it. The true hate started at Number 18 (Penny Foolish).

Ok, before I get to the last episode (and because I just love to keep up the suspense), time for a recap!
20-Dear Vikings: Just and annoying episode with one of the cheesiest endings to ever exist. Plus, it makes the Vikings look like wimps.
19-Squid Wood: Just an idiotic, mean-spirited trip from beginning to end. Plus, it’s a Squidward torture fest.
18-Penny Foolish: This episode used to be my least favorite episode of the series when it first came out. While Mr. Krabs' greed was comical in some episodes, this one just takes it way too far!
17-Yours, Mine and Mine: I really hate it when one of my favorite characters acts like a jerk to everyone and doesn't learn his (or her) lesson.
16-The Main Drain: There really isn't much to say about this episode. Except that it is simply boring and doesn't make any sense throughout.
15-I'm with Stupid: Again, I don't like seeing one of my favorite characters (Patrick) act like a big jerk, especially to his best friend.
14-A Day Without Tears: This episode was just plain annoying. There wasn't really any plot to it and the writers tried too hard to make it as sappy as humanly possible.
13-Cephalopod Lodge: This episode has to be the worst Squidward abuse episode I have ever seen. And I have seen some pretty bad Squidward episodes (The thing, Giant Squidward, Tentacle-Vision, and the list goes on)!
12-Choir Boys: I don't hate this episode mainly because of all the Squidward abuse (although that's part of the reason). I just hate that disturbing face Spongebob made when he suddenly had the voice of the gods. Oh my... That face will haunt me forever!
11-The Splinter: I have seen that this episode receives a lot of hate from fans, and for a good reason, too! This episode is just repulsive, vile, and nauseating. I will never be able to forget this one!
10-Gullible Pants: Dear writers, there is such thing as naivety and stupidity. All you have to do is learn to tell the difference!
9-The Cent of Money: Animal Abuse? Bad move, dude. Bad move.
8-Nautical Novice: When I watched this for the first time, I was eager to see Spongebob finally get his license! Unfortunately, that eagerness was thrown out the window by the time it was over.
7-Demolition Doofus: Turning a nice character into a psychopath (who actively tries to kill someone) does NOT make for a good episode!
6-Gone: Spongebob did not deserve this at all!
5-Plankton's Regular: I really felt bad for Plankton by the end of this episode. He really didn't deserve that kind of torture.
4-Stuck in the Wringer: When I first saw this episode, I knew that it was one of the absolute WORST! This episode is nothing but a painful trip from beginning to end and the ending is a huge slap in the face.
3-Little Yellow Book: Like Stuck in the Wringer, this episode is nothing but a sadistic trip from beginning to end. I really hate how the writers portrayed Squidward in such a dark, sadistic way!
2-One Coarse Meal: Just a horrible, twisted, cruel episode that made me hate Mr. Krabs.
And the final episode at the bottom of the barrel IS:
Number 1: A Pal For Gary
A few of you may have expected an episode like Atlantis SquarePantis or All That Glitters to be my number 1 worst, but yes, THIS is my very least favorite episode! The first time I watched this, I knew that this was the ABSOLUTE worst episode to ever hit the air!
While at work at the Krusty Krab, Spongebob starts to feel bad for leaving Gary alone at his house (because he thinks he’s lonely). Although, in reality, Gary is actually happy at home. He’s eating a bag of chips and drinking some soda while watching some western TV shows!
So, on the way home, he decides that he’s gonna get a pal for Gary (just like the name of the episode). On the way home, Spongebob bumps into a gypsy that happens to be selling these ridiculously cute, multi-colored Nudibranches.
So, he decides to buy one of them when the gypsy gives him a warning, saying that these creatures are violent around other pets. But, of course, Spongebob doesn’t pay any attention to her. In fact, he doesn’t pay here anything! He just takes the one he wants and walks away! You better have hoped that that thing was free.
Anyways, when he gets home, he introduces Gary to his new friend (named Puffy Fluffy). And it seems that Gary and Puffy Fluffy don’t get along. When Spongebob is not looking, Puffy Fluffy would bare his huge fangs at Gary, scaring him and causing him to hide. Also, whenever Puffy Fluffy does something bad, Spongebob immediately blames Gary.
And here is an example of Spongebob’s utter obliviousness. While Spongebob is on the couch, eating dinner (while Gary and Puffy Fluffy are right in front of him), Gary tries to offer Puffy a toy, but Puffy then grabs the toy out of Gary’s mouth and proceeds to tear it to shreds. And for some reason, Spongebob doesn’t seem to notice. I’m not kidding. Puffy Fluffy shreds the toy, and Spongebob just eats his dinner and doesn’t show ANY reaction to it.
Anyways, this goes on until Spongebob goes to sleep. When midnight comes, Gary wakes up and hears a strange noise coming from the kitchen. He goes to the kitchen and finds that Puffy Fluffy has evolved into a huge, green eel-like abomination with huge claws and huge fangs. Once Puffy Fluffy spots Gary, he proceeds to chase him into the library (which is adjacent to Spongebob’s room), banging, crashing, and roaring all over the place. Wait, how can Spongebob not wake up to that?
Then, a fight ensues with Puffy Fluffy trying to grasp Gary and devour him, and Gary trying to defend himself. You know, at this point, I feel pretty sorry for Gary. He has to fight for his life against this monstrosity because his owner is owner is blind, deaf, and incomprehensibly STUPID!
The battle drives on until Spongebob wakes up in the morning, only to find that the house is a wreck. He thinks that Gary is the one who did this (because he thinks that he’s jealous). So, he goes to the kitchen, but the door won’t budge. After charging into the door a few times, he manages to get it open. He walks into the kitchen, only to find that Gary is about to be devoured alive by Puffy Fluffy! And guess how Spongebob reacts. You would think that Spongebob would become terrified and try to save Gary, but instead, he actually yells angrily at Gary, telling HIM to put down PUFFY FLUFFY! I am serious!
Puffy Fluffy notices and he drops Gary and decides to eat Spongebob (GOOD). Using what he learned from his western hobby earlier, Gary manages to lasso the beast and drive it out of their home, thus saving Spongebob, and himself.
But instead of apologizing to Gary for not listening to him, Spongebob STILL thinks that this was all Gary’s fault! So, he decides to take him WHEREVER he goes, thus depriving him of all the joy he rightfully deserves!
This episode infuriated me to a VERY high extent! I really HATED how Spongebob was treating Gary like that. He would not listen to him and he was too stupid to even think that Puffy Fluffy was the monster here! Like One Coarse Meal, this episode made my day bad. I could not stop thinking about this horrid episode! After watching it, I LITERALLY wanted to put my fist through the TV screen! Yes, it’s THAT bad!
I really hate how the writers portrayed Spongebob this way. I never saw Spongebob as stupid! I see him as this naive minded person who actually HAS a brain! This episode just makes him look awful, plus it’s pretty much a Gary torture fest (which, to me, is worse than Squidward torture). In this awful episode, Spongebob didn’t seem to care that Gary was about to be eaten by that monster. He only cared that Gary treated it with respect! Spongebob was so awful, neglectful, and oblivious to the point where it made me want to punch him (and this is the only time I wanted to)! This episode was nothing but a complete disaster scene, making it the Worst Spongebob Episode of all time!
Well, that’s my top 20 worst Spongebob episodes! Hope you all enjoyed it! At some point, I’ll make a top 10 BEST episodes list and I might even make a top 20 worst episodes list, FAN EDITION! Please comment and rate and tell me if you’re really looking forward to it!
I almost forgot! Since you all may be disappointed in the ending for A Pal For Gary, there is a fan fiction (made by someone else) that says what should’ve happened in the end. Enjoy!

What is it?

One Coarse Meal
You are correct!
Number 2: One Coarse Meal
Remember when I said that there are episodes that make you look at Plankton and feel sorry for him? Well, THIS is the epitome of that! I don’t even know where to start! Oh, I know. How about this? Whoever made Mr. Krabs into a soulless beast needs to be sacked immediately! This is where I lost all respect for Mr. Krabs whatsoever. This is the episode that made me wonder who I should be siding with.
The episode begins with Plankton carrying out another one of his Krabby Patty stealing schemes (and he traps Krabs and Spongebob while he’s at it), until Pearl shows up. Upon seeing her, he becomes so freaked out that he runs out of the room, which shows us that Plankton is afraid of whales, because a pack once ate his ancestors and now he thinks that he’s next.
Upon learning this, Mr. Krabs decides to dress up as Pearl and scare Plankton out of his mind. Now, he doesn’t do it a couple times then reveal himself. No. Instead, he decides to scare him 24/7 (even out of his own house) to the point where Plankton can’t feel safe anywhere. He has been suffering from paranoia, fear, and insanity for 16 DAYS! Poor Plankton.
And then we get treated to his nightmares, which involve him being eaten and digested by an evil-looking Pearl. Although it looks all cartoony, it actually is a really graphic scene considering that the imagination is powerful, powerful enough to fill the gaps of what’s really happening.
The next day, Planktons decides he can’t take it anymore and you know what he does? Do you? Well, he thinks that there’s no point in moving on (living in case you didn’t know) so he decides to lie in the street and get purposely get run over! I wish I was kidding! Plankton is so scared and paranoid that he decides to end himself so he won’t feel anymore terror. Already this episode feels like an R-rated horror movie! That’s right. The writers actually decided to make such a dark episode that it’s unbelievable. If this show was supposed to be dark, then I wouldn’t be all that surprised. But this is SPONGEBOB! A show that’s supposed to make us laugh, not make us despressed.
And when Spongebob arrives, Plankton asks him to STEP on him as hard as he can! But, it’s against Spongebob’s nature. Learning that Plankton is lying in the street, waiting to get squashed, Spongebob goes to alert Mr. Krabs. And this has got to be the worst part of the episode! Mr. Krabs actually says this: “*laughs* Hah! He’s a mess!”
That right there just made my day depressing! Mr. Krabs actually is happy (or just doesn’t care) that Plankton is about to kill himself. Instead of feeling the slightest bit of guilt and shame, he actually laughs at Plankton’s misery. And, to add insult to injury, Mr. Krabs and Plankton were actually once best friends, from the time they were babies! And their golden friendship ended all because of MONEY! What happened? Do you not care about the good times you had together? Do you not care about the fact that you were closer than two peas in a pod when you were kids? Do you hate Plankton SO much that you don’t care if he suffers and kills himself? This really made me lose all respect I had left for Mr. Krabs. He’s not the money hungry guy who at least cares about others. No! Instead, he’s the money hungry, soulless beast who cares about no one but himself and is a total sadist!
Anyways, since Krabs doesn’t give a darn, Spongebob reveals to Plankton that the whale was actually Krabs in disguise. And he even tells him Krabs’ greatest fear; mimes. Huh. I thought his greatest fear was being forced to give away money.
Spongebob and Plankton set up a trap for Krabs and scare him out of his mind with a dancing mime. So, Plankton can get his justified payback, until Spongebob betrays him. Spongebob sets up a projector screen showing a large swarm of whales outside the Krusty Krab. This makes Plankton scared and he goes through a nail hole in the floor (back to the Chum Bucket). Why? Why couldn’t you side with Plankton for once?
This really made my day sad because I could only think about that cruel episode. It was cruel, awful, depressing, and one of the darkest episodes in Spongebob history. This made me hate Mr. Krabs and it also made me wonder who the antagonist of the show REALLY is.
Okay, now that I have listed 19 awful episodes, I am going to take a little break from it now. During my break time, I want you all to try and guess what Number 1 might be! Think hard! I’ll give you a hint: I found you a new friend!

· Squidward: A-ha! They're finally gone. [tries to open freezer but it's locked from the inside!] What the...? Locked?! Oh no! Oh, well, someone will realize I'm gone and come looking for me. I'll be out of here in no time.
· Narrator: 2,000 years later...
SpongeTron, a descendant of SpongeBob finally discovers Squidward after a hinge snaps off and the door breaks down. After being defrosted by SpongeTron, Squidward finds out that everything in the future (except for people) is made entirely of chrome, and all organic life forms that aren't people (such as seaweed or kelp) are simply spray-painted chrome.
· Squidward: Uhh, the future? [notices everything's chrome] HUH? Wait, w-what's going on here? Why is everything... chrome?
· SpongeTron: Everything is chrome in the future!
· Squidward: Wha...? Uhh...Uhh... [squidward looks outside the window] Oh, my! [notices the chrome environment] Impossible! He's lying! [flower pops up from underground, then a fish comes up to the flower and sprays it with chrome spray paint] He's right!
· SpongeTron: Of course I'm right, Squidward. Just ask my clones: Spongetron X, Y, and Z.
· Squidward: Are the other letters of the alphabet involved here?
· SpongeTron: Sure! All 486 of them. [squidward does a few sit-ups while he talks as if he is trying to wake up] Future! Future! Future! [spongetron drops a brick on Squidward's head]
· Squidward: Thanks. Now listen! All of you! I don't belong here. This is all a horrible mistake. Please, we've got to do something!
· SpongeTron X, Y, Z: [pull out jellyfishing nets] Jellyfishing! [a two-headed Patrick appears out of nowhere]
· Patron: Did somebody say "jellyfishing"?
· SpongeTron: Hi, Patron!
· Squidward: Just listen to me. I'm not supposed to be here. I've got to get home to my own time period. I got to go!
So Spongetron directs Squidward to the time machine, which is a small room with control panel. Squidward activates the machine, and then he’s sent back to the prehistoric times. In this particular time period, he meets the primitive ancestors of Spongebob and Patrick, who are stinging themselves with a Jellyfish. Squidward introduces the game of Jellyfishing to them and they are pleased. At least until Squiddy starts playing his clarinet, which drives them crazy, causing them to chase Squidward back to his machine!
He goes into the time machine, but he accidentally malfunctions it by pulling the lever so hard that it breaks, causing the time machine to go all around the dimensions. The time machine gets flatter and flatter and it disappears, and Squidward ends up in A Surreal Realm of Nothingness, with a strange atmosphere (A strange bass tone, very weird echoing voices in the background and large 2D rectangles which disappear when Squidward touches one of them).
· Squidward: He's not here. No more SpongeBob. No more! I may finally have found a place where I can be all... [squidward becomes tiny] ...alone! [a bunch of "alone" sayings appear with a different voice as each comes up]
At first, this realm seems pleasing to him, but then Squidward starts to feel lonely and he becomes desperate to get home.
Squidward: I gotta get outta of here! [squidward tries to run but he runs off and on the scene. he stops and tries to catch his breath. a strange voice is heard again, he holds his head, sweats a little, and runs again off and on the scene. he stops running after 3 tries to get out. yet another strange voice is heard when he stops] WHERE'S THE TIME MACHINE?!?! Where's anything!?!? Where, where, where, where?! [jumps up and down angrily and busts a hole through the ground into the time machine. The handle is still broken off. Squidward bangs on the broken controls] I wanna go home! I wanna go home! I wanna go home! I wanna go home! I miss Bikini Bottom! I miss my Easter Island head... I even miss SpongeBob...!!! [right when Squidward says "SpongeBob", the time machine disappears and reappears in present time Bikini Bottom where SpongeBob & Patrick are still waiting for Squidward]
And once he has gotten back to his home, Squidward is glad to be back where he lives.
· Squidward: Oh, I'm back! I can't believe this. I...I..I was in space and then I went to the future, and-and then I went to the past, and then... I was nowhere, but now I'm back and... you don't know how happy I am to see you guys.
· SpongeBob: Does this mean you wanna go...
· SpongeBob & Patrick: Jellyfishing?
· Squidward: NO!!!! D'oh! Who's the barnacle head who invented that game anyway?
· SpongeBob & Patrick: You are, Squidward! [spongeBob & Patrick laugh]
· Squidward: I'm going back.
This episode had a very interesting story, as well as an eerie premise. I happen to like episodes that have a weird or eerie feel to them. It gives me a chilly, but tingly feeling and it makes me want to watch it more. And the ending line is just hilarious!
Hint for next episode: It’s good to try something new!
