To be blunt, these episodes all suck. Little noteworthy to say and I agree with the placement and general consensus. Moving on.

As a serious question, why have I been commenting on literally every post for the last two pages? Is anyone else gonna volunteer?

Still really can't dislike "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob" that much. Did enough things to a level that's satisfactory.

Finally saw Civil War. Awesome movie.

You know my thoughts on both. Talked about the former here, the latter (#19) last year.

"A Brilliant Young Mind." It's probably gonna stick around with me more than most other recent movies. Haven't seen such a tender, realistic, and genuinely heartwarming movie in a long time, and it only helps me with how it shows how even perceived weird kids can have a chance to improve and find love. It's a lot less corny than it sounds, but I highly reccomend it.

Obviously since you know about my thoughts on Atlantis SquarePantis, I'll skip it. Pineapple Fever made my list right at the bottom (#25), but even then it's rather interchangeable with similar episodes like House Fancy, Cephalopod Lodge, That Sinking Feeling, Tentacle-Vision and Boating Buddies (which'd probably be 26-30). Same old flaws you'd get in a mid-run STP, excessive, unjust torment of Squidward, SpongeBob and Patrick being more like annoying robots than children, and wasted opportunities for jokes by how long they drag. A Day Without Tears, bleh, predictable choice that I agree with the placement of. Good Neighbors is something I'm warming up to. The ending sucked and it set the general template of later episodes, but it's not so extreme with it's character portrayals, and I can definitely see the cartoonishness and innocence of the jokes.
My list thus far:

Implying spongebob should have continuty
Yeah the show doesn't have continuity, but with every episode there's an expectation of how the characters should behave. Most of the jokes are driven by the silly ways the characters interact. Squidward not having a happy memory isn't something that makes sense in the show's context.

Are You Happy Now? took a brief stint as my #1 last year, and while I did place it a lot lower this time due to it being too mellow and sad to be that noticeable in hindsight (#21, although maybe that was too low), it's still... mellow and sad regardless. It doesn't feel like SpongeBob with it's lack of jokes, and it's treatment of depression and suicide was... realistically bleak. I know all about this sadness and I can't imagine others would either, even if one was healthy there'd still be too much sympathy for Squidward to laugh. Shuffle-Boarding just barely missed the cut, but I still find it stupid and uneededly mean, with an illogical "plot" to top it off. Skip it.

I'm confused that you're giving some three-way ties the span of 2 spots and others as one spot. If it works that's fine though. :I As for these, Summer Job made my list (albeit barely, at #24), simply for outright boredom, and I can say the same about the other two to a lesser extent. Just sucks to see Mr. Krabs waste so much of his potential character development on cheap shlock like dropping hundreds of dollars for a penny, put a ridiculous amount of time in stealing a single customer, and briefly glancing over his relation with Mrs. Puff. (although I do find some of that funny in an ironic way)

Spongehenge is lame and confusing. Next...
Okay, even with Season 4 I can't really be too harsh on the worse episodes, and as such I find "The Thing" and "Rule of Dumb" to be rather overhated. Many of the people who complain about Patrick being an absolute jerk completely missed the point. It was a joke-filled way of conveying how power can affect anyone into an egotistical monster if handled poorly, and Patrick was simply fitting for the role. It's not like many episodes where he does it for no reason other than to be mean, it's the plot that the story was based around and managed to convey an excellent message. The Thing's more justified in dislike, but even there it seems like most ignored basic facts about the story to fit the ideal of "Squidward was being unjustly abused" by forgetting that the entire situation he got into was accidental and SpongeBob and Patrick were, in their ways, successfully caring for him as an unknown animal, and even saving him when he was captured in the zoo, despite police interference. I liked it better if it was only SpongeBob and Patrick that were annoying him in "Jellyfishing" rather than the cops, but it's at least a structured, justified story that's passable.
Also, don't get why Yeti Krabs would be one's #2 simply for disappointment, but that's just life. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To be honest, "The Card" might be one of the closest episodes to capturing the style of pre-movie for the time. That's not saying much (it was on my list at #14), it's got a simple premise, does really well to parody the warped view of trading card where only specific cards actually matter, and shows the roles of the dedicated control freak and the random guy really well, while still offering a good cartoonish exaggeration of the card's use. Problem? Why the hell is Patrick doing this so mindlessly? Why is he ignoring the fact that the card means so much to his best friend, and doing literally everything in his power to destroy the thing? Why is he doing it intentionally? That is not acceptable, it's maddening. As for Tentacle-Vision... used to dislike it more but now I find it too typical of an episode to bring up on it's own. I agree with its placement.

To be completely honest, the ending of this episode's grown on me quite a lot over time. While it does feel like a cop-out to what's otherwise one of the best episodes period, and was arguably more cruel than any other moment of the show, I actually find some heart in SpongeBob to regaining a good feeling about himself from having a "whole day dedicated to him." I've already talked about InSPONGEiac and The Cent of Money on past lists and completely agree with Steel regarding Sun Bleached, so I don't feel I need to add much.
-
Rodeo Daze - You already know why. "Rodeo Daze" is such an appropriate title because of how much the story procrastinated. This was my #12.
The Gift of Gum - While I didn't really care if it made the list or not, it's probably one of my least favorite episodes this season because of how excessively gross the gum is and not providing a proper ending due to SpongeBob being interrupted before he can courteously deny Patrick's disgusting gift, which shifts the moral. Other than that it's fine, I enjoyed some of the shenanigans SpongeBob had to go through to get rid of the monstrosity, like attempting to bulldoze it into a hole or breaking in from the inside to free people trapped in there.
Funny Pants - At this point I can barely remember the episode exists. I guess it's hatred just waned down due to a combination of hype fatigue and tropes like "SpongeBob crying" being a bigger fault in later episodes like "A Day Without Tears" and the like.

It's not like either of these episodes are bad. I guess I can understand why some would put it on a list but for me, they wouldn't come close. Still great that we can get some good commentary though.

A couple more pieces I worked on today.

And after erasing some of the more detailed features...
Jokes aside, I'll try to post some of my work here just to entertain ya'll. Why not start with more SpongeBob (pun intended
). Revealed these doodles in the chat and would post older ones if I could find 'em.
Also did an Equestria Girls-style vector of a review puppet of mine, for a channel that went nowhere. Just out of boredom I figured out it's look on my own.
Alongside the paper, I'm also taking a college-level drawing and painting course, doing mostly still-life and figures. The teacher's been a great help at encouraging me to do this and helping me with important aspects like shape and shading.
CONTENT WARNING: Contains Nudity
Just to showcase a painting in working progress...
I've also started to practice with LEGO building beyond the instructions (or MOC'ing as the community calls it). This one's of a worn-down interpretation of a memorial in front of my high school for a contest.
I'm still gonna keep practicing. Keeps getting better every time.

Wow... I hate to overreact, but this might be up there with "Patrick! The Game" as not only one of my favorites of Season 9, but of the show entirely. I loved it. The humor's fast-paced and top-notch. Some of my favorites were the return of the sea bears as part of Plankton's plan only to have SpongeBob tickle them out, and I loved that we kept seeing Plankton's ridiculous torment when disguised, from having to heave an exaggerated amount of spaghetti during a classic date scene and that we had to see him struggle to small talk with Pearl by mistaking barnacles as shoes. And when Mr. KKrabs had to sturggle to pick flowers off of women to leave them crying... it's mean but it's so fast-paced. Mr. Krabs himself was also a highlight in that we were finally shown his cheapness is not his only attribute, and that he has a passionate, emotional outlook and really see how happy as a clam he is when opening up to love. I get that it's a essentially a "the one" parody wrapped in money. It's completely ridiculous how realistically Mr. Krabs took such a silly concept as seriously as he did. I even has some nice content to show that the show's atmosphere's getting more consistent yet so unpredictable, like the nod to Truth or Square's "setting up" scene done even more colorfully, and even confirmation that Mr. Krabs did have a wife he misses, which is great that we can finally interpret that beyond pure fanfiction.
Giving this a solid 9.5/10. Imitation Krab's is still the better episode with foundation on the "Plankton disguises as something to get the forumla" as it was a funnier still. but that's not to deny credit.

After first impression, I enjoyed this. It was a whole lot of fun throughout with how much it poked at simple scientific experiments in every monotonous and predictable trial with as much exaggeration as it did. Sandy was particularly great in showing her pursuit in experiments as passionately and persistently as she did, and Patrick did quite a lot to make the simple tasks of eating ice cream or counting sand seem like such a big deal. Getting to see Squidward express love toward ice cream was also fun, and was really new and I hope that we see it used for jokes more. (if only he could get some) Animation's once again colorful and expressive. I'd say the only major problem was how in-your-face it was about the slapstick and arguments. At times the humor was, for lack of a better word, too fast-paced and loud. As strong as the humor was, shoving unlimited cameras, childish screaming from Patrick, and ice cream at every moment is crazily out-of-nowhere.
I'll give it a 7/10. It's above average and I hope they do more episodes where we see the four in full, but I hope that they add a heck of a lot more subtlety because the fast-paced, exaggerated shenanigans are completely out of control..

"Sponge-Cano" isn't really all that bad. Wouldn't come close to a recommendation for its lack of suspense leading to potential destruction, being poorly paced, starting with a crappy song, being lame and shallow with its comedy, to then damage the whole point of Squidward's realization by having him say that he lied about learning gratefulness in the most insulting way possible... wait why don't I think this sucks? Uh... idk it didn't make my list alright. I already ripped on "The Splinter" last year and it got the same spot. (#11)
