William Leonard Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I was watching this episode on Netflix the other day and I noticed that the guy who sings the song in the middle of the episode (his name is Mark Stewart by the way) sounds an awful lot like Mermaidman. Then everything got confusing for a little while, and I ended up drawing a picture of Mermaidman hugging a snail. 1
Spongeo Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I thought this was one of the best episodes yet it was fun and entertaining!
Squid Wood Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 because you all know the best episodes aren't fun or entertaining
MMM Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 This was a pretty sad episode. Best moment is when Granny gets reminded of her days as a riveter hands down no questions asked.
Nevadabell Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 An awesome episode. Better than that crappy Pal for Gary stuff any day. 10/10. 1 1
CDCB Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 The humor for the most part is pretty lame but Patrick's apocalypse line and the song Gary Come Home are classics. 7/10
xpfot Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Nice how sad and jokes are mixed togther, those sadness and jokes....all togther. Pretty nice episode 9/10
WhoBibbles Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I loved it. It's on my top 5 season 4 episodes. It was touching and very enjoyable. I think this episode is way better than Dumped episode. I really liked "Gary Come Home" song and the song was very catchy. I also thought this episode was funny but I don't think It's one of the funniest SpongeBob episodes. Some parts made me laugh like Gary jumping on SpongeBob face, Squidward screaming when SpongeBob and Patrick entering his bathroom, Patrick eating Gary's favorite treats, the krabby patties being covered in SpongeBob's tears, Patrick saying "It's the apocalypse! Office products falling from the sky.", Patrick saying "I want peanuts", then Patrick pressing the button in the airplane, then the airplane losing control and then the message that SpongeBob wrote in the sky being changed to "LISA, WILL YOU MARRY ME?", Gary becoming fat and Patrick saying "Did you just say Gary? SpongeBob, I just remembered earlier today at the craft store, I saw... these huge chunks of balsa wood! They were awesome!". I recommend this episode to everyone. 10/10
JCM Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Throughout the show's history, Gary has always been treated as a background character. I understand the reasons; there's not a lot to do with a character who sits around and says "meow" for most of the day. Still, a double-length episode that not only gives Gary a major role but focuses on the snail for the duration of the 22 minutes is well-deserved and very much welcome. This episode shows that Gary is not only an important character but maybe the most important out of all them. Gary is part of what makes SpongeBob who he is, and nothing demonstrates that more than the image shown above, of the previously jolly little sponge sniveling behind an empty food bowl, reduced to a shell of what he once was. Rarely before has the series had such an emotional resonance, and there was no better episode to have it in than this one, the first two-parter not padded with scenes of Patchy the Pirate and his sarcastic parrot, scenes that would have dragged this episode down and kept it off of my list for sure. (As they did with all the Season 3 specials, which were good ideas turned gimmicky and stale.) 2
BeachBob95 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 This episode had pre-movie writers, and so the not-so-original plot was very well executed. The only thing for me is that the grandma parts get boring after a while. The song makes up for it and might be the best song of the show. I cried. I'm glad Patchy wasn't in this. They could've easily made up a plot where Patchy loses Potty, and the whole thing would be predictable as heck. 8,9/10
EVSPONGEFAN Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Really sad. Always makes me cry, even now. It is funny and the plot is good. Nothing to bad about it.
hashslingingslasher3 Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I love this episode. You really get to see how much Spongebob loves and cares for Gary. Plus the song is so sad but in a good way.
Bang Bang Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 This episode was really sad but it was a great episode. It is the best s4 episode. The song "Gary Come Home" was really sad and made me want cry. I didn't cry but I was about to. This episode shows that SB is not all about humor it can also be about sadness and caring and loving. Best moment - Gary Come Home Best character - Gary and SB. 10/10 1
4EverGreen Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 This is a good post first movie episode! Let's hope that there are many more good post second movie episodes that are THIS good, if not better! My score: 11/10!
Guest Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 This episode is one of the best episodes ever, If it can make you cry, then that means the cartoon characters matter to you. And if a cartoon can make fictional characters matter to you and your life, it is undeniably amazing. 10/10.
Minty Car Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 I know I started this topic, but I recently rewatched this episode decided to post a retrospective on it. It's not a typical episode in that it's less humor more than serious morals/story. The Come Home Gary song is one of my favorite songs period because of how well it fit into the episode. It remains among my favorite episodes for sure. 9/10
The Spongey Me Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 This episode is one of the best episodes I've seen. It's sad to see Gary running away from home with SpongeBob doing all he can to find him and bring him back home.
SpongeBob's #1 Fan Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 10/10. I liked this episode a lot. The ending was kind of cool.
