    SBC's Top 50 Best Episodes Ever 2018!

    in SpongeBob Episodes

    CYSAD and Ink aren't even close to comparable and anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves. Dime has characters with motivation, jokes that extend beyond le funny faces and a plot where the antogonist is actually portrayed as a leach on society who SpongeBob is fed up with instead of the person who wins in the end. It's pretty much an objectively better episode.

     

    PS it was #16 on my list.

    when you say it that way, of course people are gonna jump on you.

    you say it that people only loved it for not finding as garbage. that's the issue. Trophy also made a comment on how he didn't find mimic to be that good enough on the list but he didn't get as much replies because he didn't speak behalf of people. It's not because of your opinion on the episode, it's you generalizing fans of the episode.

    Homie also said people only flocked to it for the song, but yet I'm the one taking all the heat. I agree with her though.

    But whatever, I'm done.

    my original post from sbm, 1 year ago.

    This is not just the best episode of the season so far, it could possibly be my favorite second-post-movie era episode ever. I felt like everything worked out so perfectly. The episode has some really great jokes with SpongeBob mimicing everyone and slowly making him lose who he is actually. The show has been going on for like 17 years and It amazes me with gems like this, they find new ways to make our main character interesting. The plot was definitely so original. Although yeah, we did see SpongeBob mimicing people in Gone but the premise here is completely different and it's funnier this way because you see other's reactions. My favorite gag has to be french narrator imitation. I'm a sucker for 4th wall break jokes, so this one was the funniest joke out of all jokes here. It's not just humor and SpongeBob here that made me love this. Little character moments like Plankton and Sandy playing chess, Squidward imitating Mr. Krabs and Patrick actually putting Squidward and Plankton in their places for making a decision to destroy him and Plankton trying to get krabby patty formula by imitating SpongeBob were so joy for me. You really have no idea I missed musical numbers in this show, so the muscial number here "Who Am I" was such a heartbreaking and sad song, yet it's very catchy and memorable song. A credit for Tom Kenny with his beautiful voice and Mr. Lawrence for writing it. I loved how all main characters, even Plankton teamed up to save SpongeBob. The ending was, while predictable, such a funny way to end this episode. A modern classic for SpongeBob imo.

     

    Grade: A

    you could say I didn't bother to explain jokes as much but tbh I actually did enjoy the episode on more than just jokes and honestly I don't think I can explain further why I love it. While my opinions have changed on that being best episode in years and I've seen other great entries like Feral Friends, Teacher's Pests and Bottle Burglars, I still stand by that ep being great and I think some explanations like clappy's are well done imo.

    "People are allowed to have their opinions as much as I'm allowed to say their opinions are flawed."

    I could ask myself the same for your opinion on that.

    Honestly I still can't recall the jokes. Yes there were jokes about SpongeBob mimicking people but I don't remember the punch-lines. They weren't very memorable jokes to me. Outside of the jokes the plot is a carbon copy of Ripped Pants except inferior. Still don't see the praise.

     

    If you think my opinion is flawed that's fine. I still don't think Mimic Madness is great.

    The thing that makes me mad about this really petty argument is that post sequel as a whole (more specifically 10 and 11) are being targeted for one harmless episode making a stupid list. 

     

    Sorry this isn't 49 pre movie eps and Dunces and Dragons, the world is gonna end 

     

    I don't think Pranks a Lot, Missing identity, or Valentines day (off memory) are even close, but I am not making a hissy fit.

    People won't do that, they will get banned if they do. Besides, it isn't that melodramatic, it's just an opinion on an episode of fucking Spongebob

     

    Too people who like this episode, great it's on the list. You can appreciate it, but stop rubbing it in.

     

    Too people who hate this episode, you can criticize the episode but stop acting like it's the end of the world.

     

    I don't even think the episode belongs here, but a lot of you are acting like fucking children. Just chill man.

    "The thing that makes me mad about this really petty argument is that post sequel as a whole (more specifically 10 and 11) are being targeted for one harmless episode making a stupid list. "

    Why is that a problem, talking of the problems with seasons 10 and 11 just show how much of an outlier Mimic Madness is compared to the rest of the great episodes on the list.

    "Sorry this isn't 49 pre movie eps and Dunces and Dragons, the world is gonna end "

    I... never said that. Nobody ever said that. There are some post-movie episodes that are great, however most of them aren't and a lot of the best post-movie episodes have an inflated reputation.

    "Too people who hate this episode, you can criticize the episode but stop acting like it's the end of the world."

    I never did. I made one comment and everyone jumped at my throat because of it.

    Honestly post-movie ended like 4 years ago (5 If you exclude one episode), so I'd hardly call it new anymore. I don't feel sorry for post-second movie, as I stated I find it hit or miss at best and there have been others that feel same. And there have been many fans of Mimic as far as I can tell, at least on sbm (not counting enter stans who loved it because of enter though). I totally agree that some people do sympathize for post-second just for return of the creator and I find that irritating and I can agree that there are people who wants to feel sorry for post-movie and beyond but I don't think Mimic love is simply fake or anything.

    While I've seen people love Mimic Madness, I haven't seen good reasons as to why it's the best thing ever, there's so many episodes that do what Mimic Madness does better.

    It's fine that you have your own perspective on post-movie/SOOW, but when people like episodes from post-movie/SOOW such as "Mimic Madness," it's not because it's not a bad non-pre-movie episode or because people feel bad about post-movie/SOOW feeling so unrepresented and want to glorify their feelings towards the episode. It's because they have a variety of reasons to support their stance on why they think it's one of the best SB episodes.

    Sure I had to dispute 4EverGreen's choices for his list because I was unsure whether or not he was being honest with his list, but in the end, I decided to shrug it off, because 4EG did ensure that he was very passionate about his choice like all of us are. Also, if all of post-movie is terrible because even the considerably good episodes from that era are not as good as pre-movie, then I might have to argue about that....but I probably wouldn't have to, because most of my points would be from the first paragraph above.

    All the reasons I've seen to love Mimic Madness however fail to explain why the episode is such a masterpiece. Sure it has funny moments but I haven't seen a single person outside of discussing the episode quoting its jokes. Heck I can't even recall any. It has that "forced" feeling to all the jokes that makes the humor inferior to pre-movie. Sure it has a nice song but Welcome to the Chum Bucket and Have You Seen This Snail have better ones. Sure everyone is in character, but shouldn't that just be expected? I haven't found a single point that makes me see how it's better than so many other episodes or why it's deserving of its praise.


    Also I don't think there's really any seasons 6-9a & 10-11 episodes that compare to pre-movie humor-wise but that's another topic.

    Or maybe, and this is a “wild thought”, people genuinely like or love this episode and don’t share the same views you do.  Opinions are such wonderful things.  Everybody has one.

    People are allowed to have their opinions as much as I'm allowed to say their opinions are flawed.

    please tell me you're not going to do this for every post movie ep lol

    I have some post-movie eps on my list, I will only call out the undeserving post-movie eps like Mimic Madness.

    couldn't disagree more. There are a few garbage post-second movie episodes but I don't think anything aside from Ink and Sportz are close to being that bad and there have been some outstanding episodes imo. I'd say it's hit or miss at best but I don't think people love mimic just because it's not a garbage episode. 

    I was more talking about how post-movie as a whole is terrible, but as for post-sequel specifically it's usually mediocre at best as well. I can't fathom how Mimic beats all of the far superior pre-movie eps. It feels like people just feel sorry for post-sequel and feel like over-praising Mimic Madness to compensate.
