SBC's Top 50 Best Episodes Ever 2015 Edition!

[Wumbo]

All right, enough is enough. Here you all go:

 

1. "You rub it on your skin, and it makes you live forever!"

 

 

Chocolate with Nuts, 291 points

 

(14 of 26 lists. 3 #1 votes - PatrickFan/SOF/NegiSpongie)

 

In the episode, SpongeBob accidentally receives Squidward's Fancy Living Digest magazine in the mail, inspiring him and Patrick to become entrepreneurs. At the suggestion of Patrick, the pair become chocolate bar salesmen, which results in them purchasing large quantities of chocolate bars from the Barg 'n' Mart. The first customer in their door-to-door travels, however, just screams "CHOCOLATE!" and chases the two salesmen away. Afterward, SpongeBob and Patrick attempt to sell chocolate to another person, only to be conned into buying chocolate-carrying bags from that person, twice in a row. They then try to sell it to a woman who then wants to buy one, but when SpongeBob can't find a chocolate bar because of all of the carrying bags, the customer gives up. They are then chased away again by the chocolate fanatic.

 

After their disastrous results in their previous attempts, the two take a break at the diner, and decide to "try being nice." However, this is unsuccessful, ending in Patrick buying pictures of a customer in his childhood, as is their attempt to "focus" (resulting in Patrick staring at a customer until the customer slammed the door on Patrick's eyes.) Then, they decide that the only way to sell chocolate is to "stretch the truth," which is successful when they convince an old woman (to the dismay of her daughter) that it "makes you live forever." The lying continues, but after they attempt to help a seriously injured man (who turns out to be the same man who sold SpongeBob and Patrick the carrying bags in disguise) by buying his chocolate, their profit is lost. However, the chocolate fanatic catches up to them, and, in a turn of events, buys all of SpongeBob and Patrick have. They then use the money to rent out a fancy restaurant, allowing access only to themselves and their dates, the old lady and her daughter who they sold chocolate to earlier.

 

SOF: Well, I think you guys didn't expected to see this coming

 

Anyways, here's few things i want to say why i liked this episode so much.

 

1) SB waits for mailman which is hilarious

2) the CHOCOLATE guy

3) the part where they interact the old lady

4) Patrick saying * i love you* to customer lol

5) the ending

 

there's so much good things about this episode i enjoyed it. That's all i have to say.

 

Overall, It's best episode IMO.

 

jjs: As much as I love this episode, I'm slightly surprised it beat out Band Geeks this year. Once again, I know people will call this overrated, but I still love this episode. It's a simple plot, but has so many hilarious gags (i.e. CHOCOLATE!!!!!) that makes it a classic episode.

 

Clappy: So Chocolate With Nuts is our number one again, eh?

 

"OVERRATED" - says the three or more members who will comment on this.

 

You know what, I use to be one of them.  What?  Clappy actually used the "o" word?  Yeah...but except throwing around the word willy nilly as a reason to hate on it, I actually had a reason.  My only problem with the episode that keeps it from my Personal Top 10 and sometimes my Personal Top 20 is only a minor one.  SpongeBob and Patrick doing the operation gag just is not in their character, even as sales people.  Sure they used plenty of hilarious white lies about the chocolate bar, but that's entirely unbelievable of their characters that they would go "that far" in their sales tactics because that's completely unlike them....well at least at that time frame of SpongeBob.  Modern Patrick wouldn't surprise me in this day and age tbh.  Of course it leads to a hilarious pay off with The Con Man outdoing them again and SpongeBob and Patrick reverting away from that that redeems the plot device they went for, but that moment from the episode is still a noticeable con for me that I do not like and have never liked.

 

Otherwise, this episode is perfect.  These have some of the best jokes SpongeBob has ever hade.  It's consistently funny and has some of the most quotable lines of the entire series.  Just because one portion of the episode slightly bothers me doesn't make this episode not one of the all time best.  I get the massive amounts of love for this and I really like this episode myself.  It made my list too.  I honestly don't know what else there is to say because the consistent praise this episode always gets has used nearly every synonym of perfect imaginable.  So I'll just end my commentary with this.

 

 

Wumbo: Welcome back to the top, Chocolate with Nuts! Definitely one of the most well-remembered and highly praised episodes, I'm not surprised to see it's gained back its top spot as we've had the most people this year send in lists, more than ever before. And I do anticipate the fur about to fly on this one, as twelve people did not put this on their list. Well, I was one of those people. I don't consider it a Top 25-worthy episode for my personal tastes. But all things considered, after all the speculation on whether this ep really deserves to be as loved as it is...

 

This episode is still funny as hell.

 

It really does deserve to be remembered as one of the all-time greats, because this episode is so memorable. You've got the old ladies, the con man, the "fancy living" part, Tom, "I love you", so much stuff is thrown at you! While I don't personally consider this a top episode, I still respect what it's contributed to the fandom and I do appreciate it for all that it offers in the 11 minutes it's given. Rock on, Chocolate with Nuts. It's good to have you back.

 

Once again, a big THANK YOU to everyone who contributed a list and everyone who participated in commentary! But the fun isn't over yet. Feel free to post your thoughts on the #1, overall, personal picks that didn't make it. I'll be doing much of the same!

[Katniss]

This was fun!

 

I didn't have Chocolate With Nuts on my list. It's funny, but it's not top-of-the-list-worthy for me. Tom screaming CHOCOLATE has lost some of its luster

 

Anyway, now that it's all done, I might as well share the entirety of my list. Bolded titles are ones that made the official list:

 

Spoiler

25. Squidward in Clarinetland

24. Hooky

23. SpongeBob vs. the Patty Gadget

[WhoBibbles]

I knew this would be #1. Now, I love this as much as a SpongeBob fan next to me but I didn't include this episode on my list for a reason. I still consider this episode to be one of the best comedy episodes in any show ever because all gags in this episode is priceless but this has to be the most quoted SpongeBob episode to date. Same with Band Geeks but Band Geeks did more than just telling jokes IMO and everyone keeps quoting this episode more than Band Geeks and it gets tiresome for a while. Just like KKTV, I don't laugh as much as I used to when I watch this episode anymore, it doesn't give me the same feeling but it's just me. I respect everyone's opinions who love this episode or not. I love CWN and I really loved the list, Wumbo. You and everyone, whoever commented on the episodes or not, worked so hard for this list and I have to give all of you guys credit for that. Amazing list and I'm glad I shared this experience with you guys.

[Metal Snake]

Yeah, this is not my all-time favorite episode either. Clappy was right on the money with the one big problem it has that keeps me from loving it more than my other favorites. I still adore it, but I kinda wish Band Geeks had won #1.

[So Sejima]

One thing I must say first...I don't find this episode that funny. It has gags sure but it seems like that's all it tries to be, shouting chocolate over again is not funny, and I guess the only things to get a slight chuckle were the bags but those get old fast. The story tried to be interesting yet it doesn't settle for me as an all-time great. 8/10 at best, not in my top 50. NOW ALAS MY LIST WARNING CONSIDERING MY OPINIONS ON OTHERS 3 AND 5 MAY HAVE YOU CONFUSED ON WHY ON EARTH I PUT THEM THERE, I SHALL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

[NegiSpongie]

I knew it! The #1 is my #1!

 

Yup, this is my all-time favorite episode and makes me laugh everytime.

[almy]

This moved down from my 2013 list by quite a few spots. It was originally 1.

I guess it's time to reveal my full list (and my #2, which didn't make the list at all.)

 

Honorable Mention 3/28. Doing Time

Honorable Mention 2/27. Krusty Towers (#7)

Honorable Mention 1/26. Dunces And Dragons (#40)

 

25. Dying For Pie (#3) (I think i said it didn't make my list. I must have forgotten.)

24. Mermaid Man And Barnacle Boy IV (I've come to appreciate this one much more than before.)

23. Squid On Strike (#46) 

22. Band Geeks (#2)

21. The Chaperone (An episode way too overlooked.)

20. Artist Unknown

19. Sleepy Time (Another overlooked episode. Loved this one since the first time I ever saw it.)

18. Wet Painters (#5) (I guess I forgot about several episodes on here, because I also said this wasn't on my list.)

17. Idiot Box (#17) (ISN'T THERE ANYTHING ON THAT'S NOT ABOUT BOXES? *solid snake's brawl reveal trailer plays*)

16. Nasty Patty (#19)

15. The Bully

14. Culture Shock (Same case as 19. I loved this ever since first seeing it.)

13. Imitation Krabs (#24) (Ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli)

12. Pranks A Lot (#33)

11. Just One Bite (#44)

10. Sandy, Spongebob And The Worm (#25)

9. Big Pink Loser (#26)

8. Shanghaied (#13)

7. Mermaid Man And Barnacle Boy V (#12)

6. Chocolate With Nuts (#1)

5. Survival Of The Idiots (#16) (Remember back in 2013 when I was the only one who remembered to vote for it?)

4. Squid's Day Off (#32)

3. Life Of Crime (#27)

2. Wormy (See more somewhere below)

1. Krusty Krab Training Video (#4)

 

 

Yup, my #2 was Wormy. I bet at least some of you are surprised.

Disregarding that really odd close up picture of the HORSEFLY (which I somehow find kind of funny), this episode is nearly perfect. From the song 'That's What Friends Do', to the...um...shenanigans that happen in the treedome the next day, to the secret entrance, to the...well...to one of my all time favorite scenes in the whole series.

 

Seriously though, I could not stop laughing during that part where they run away from Wormy across the whole town.

[Sweat]

Well, here is my top 25, ones that made the list in bold

 

25. Jellyfishing

24. SpongeBob Meets the Strangler (#23)

25. Whelk Attack (I regret putting this one on my list. Don't get me wrong. I adore this episode. One of my favorite post-movie episodes but there are better episodes like Idiot Box, Nasty Patty, Imitation Krabs, SB vs Strangler etc. Maybe I shouldn't give a season 7 episode a chance.)

 

 

16 episode out of 25 episodes. Not bad but still there are a lot episodes episodes that didn't make my list that they are so amazing.

[WhoBibbles]

Pretty sure that as my second spot was an alternative name

 

Here's my list. (The most conterversial one yet)

 

Not more than 4eg's in 2011.

 

Also a 7 and a 10... Walking Small deserved to make it.

[MMM]

My list:

[WhoBibbles]

I'm so surprised that Help Wanted, I Had an Accident, Rock Bottom, Roller Coward and Planet of the Jellyfish didn't make the list because they were in a few people's lists but then again, there are so many praised SB episodes.

[4EverGreen]

Pretty sure that as my second spot was an alternative name

 

Not more than 4eg's in 2011.

 

Also a 7 and a 10... Walking Small deserved to make it.

Even I agree with that one! I don't even remember what I was THINKING making "All That Glitters" my number one pick in 2011. I'm SO much more well-adjusted than to make a stupid pick like THAT nowadays!

[The Guy With the Computer]

This was a great list. I didn't vote, though, so I can't compare mine.
