Klu Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Cent of Money is such crappy episode. If previous seasons made Mr.Krabs my least favorite in the main cast but still somewhat likable, this was the ep that cemented my strong hatred for him for years. This episode is just unfunny and really uncomfortable to watch and even ending doesn't save the day for me. It didn't quite made my list unfortunately, but I am glad that his ep appeared on this list. you can kill me if you want, but i can't hate Squid's visit. out of all season 6 episodes, this is one of those that's just... fascinate me. It's bad, don't get me wrong, but somehow I am entertained by it. It's so bizarre and creepy that it's somehow works for me? Objectively it's garbage, no doubt, but I think it's the same case as Demolition Doofus for me. Ep objectively is terrible, but it's really... interesting.

BoJack Horseman Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Lol, I actually agree with every criticism of The Cent of Money. It is a horrendous episode that deserves to be on the list but I'll be damned If the ending isn't one of the best karma endings ever. Mr. Krabs' body being broken and losing all that money is so SO SO MUCH SATISFYING TO WATCH. As much as Mr. Krabs is a crap here, I just love the way SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs. Seeing him mad is so amazing, even if it took him a while to release he was abusing Gary. So yeah, i would love to have this shit on my list, hell it's even worse than A Pal for Gary/Pet Sitter Pat but I love the ending so much. Fuck Squid's Visit. A shitty character assassination of SpongeBob that makes him a complete psychopath, instead of an actual decent person he normally is. Thank god s8-recent fixed his characterization that we don't have to sit through another episode like this. I love disturbing episodes to death and I admit I do love the moment Squidward snapped but the entire thing was badly structured, it was painfully annoying and Squidward got the hell of his life. Even the ending stinks because Gary is outside and sad because of his owner's actions and SpongeBob doesn't even feel a damn bad thing. I can't stand this stupid attempt to inject thriller into this episode with some of the worst SpongeBob characterization ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweat Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Both episodes were awful close to my bottom 25 but didn't quite make it. Squid's Visit is unique because it is very much a "So beyond fucked up that I can't really hate it" deal. When I watch the episode, I don't get angry or anything, I just end up shocked. It's one of the most disturbing episodes of the show, and I can see why people got it into the bottom 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt0417 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The Cent of Money: Basically every "Gary gets taken advantage of" and "Mr. Krabs stirs up a gimmick/plan for more money" episode cranked up to 11. Terrible episode. Squid's Visit: I don't think this one's that awful, but there's way too many noticeable problems for it to even be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterArcanine Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The Cent of Money: lol idk Squid's Visit: Honestly, this episode does the creepy atmosphere very well, and it makes the episode pretty entertaining, so I don't find it bad. Honestly, it's dragged down to meh because of the stupid ending of Squidward's house burning down and Spongebob's poor characterization in this episode. Due to my bottom 50 changes, Squid's Visit is placed different on here than on my actual bottom 50, where it placed lower but not still bottom 25.

Dragonball Z Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 "The Cent of Money" definitely made my personal list, though probably not as high as it has been in past years. What everyone else has pointed out what is wrong with that episode segment, I agree with. It represents the absolute WORST in Mr. Krabs' money-grubbing greediness, and Gary getting poorly mistreated for no good reason. The only thing preventing me from ranking it any lower, is the fact that Mr. Krabs gets some comeuppance at the end of the episode. I don't know what it is, but I can't bring myself to hate "Squid's Visit". Continuity wise, the episode makes no sense. But on its own, its a fairly entertaining episode that at the very least, isn't written terribly OUT of character like "The Cent of Money" is in my personal opinion! / 25. ? 24. ? 23.

President Squidward Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The Cent of Money: Yeah this episode sucks ass, takes Krab’s greed to disturbing and annoying new heights. Poor Gary. i still think how spongebob slides away when he says “I’m sure he is, goodbyeeee” is one of the funniest things ever and the only highlight of the episode Squid’s Visit: what’s with post movie making episodes I’d normally hate to death so entertaining and fun to watch I hate that this era does that to me quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWM Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) 24. "Is that what you consider clean and disease-free, Krabby?" Fungus Among Us, 178 points 14 out of 41 lists (Highest Rank #1 @Clappy) (-8) WhoBob: Fungus Among Us is one of those episodes that totally alerted that SpongeBob has gone downhill. Yea, season 4 has episodes people literally dislike but I always found s4 to be mostly good and s5 did actually start off nicely but this episode was the first sign of everything going for the worse. This episode's usage of gross out just doesn't fit in a show where the comedy comes mostly from the dialogue and natural slapstick. I hate the fungus speading SpongeBob and other characters and I get that's the premise but I just can't stand it. The latter half doesn't get much better with Squidward tossing the fungus on the food and everyone eating it. Especially SpongeBob becoming so giant and hideous inside a bubble. Not only that is disgusting, It makes me feel awful for SpongeBob and the costumers attacking him was so cruel and idiotic and the resolution being Gary eating the fungus was so stupid. This is an episode that I still think it's horrible and a great example of why SpongeBob is not a good fit for gross out humor. 23. "Next time, leave the rodeos to me." Rodeo Daze, 178 points 15 out of 41 lists (Highest Rank #2 @BeachBob95) (-3) jjs: The more the years go by, the more this dreadful episode keeps climbing up my list, making it to my #4 this year. I cannot stress how much I truly loathe this episode. I get why some don’t care about this one as much or forget it exists, which to be fair, I don't blame you for either. For me, at is core, Rodeo Daze is a sad, frustrating and very disappointing, episode. When this episode's plot first got revealed, the premise of SpongeBob going to Texas to save Sandy honestly was a legit interesting idea, more than anything else in S7 at that time. This is one of the only S7 episodes that actually had potential with its premise. We were finally getting to see the gang go to Sandy's homeland, a key focal point of her character. Wow, that's actually creative and cool! The stars were aligning for something actually possibly decent at this point in S7. Unfortunately, all of those expectations were shattered apart with an episode that meanders around with stupidity rather than any sentiment or brain, and completely wastes any sort of potential it had going for it. Even when I ignore the hype I had, looking at it as a finished product, this episode just sucks the whole way through. Nothing about this one works for me. The first sign this episode was doomed is when it decided to start with...a pointless staring contest between SpongeBob and Patrick. Wow! I’m happy we wasted a good first minute of the episode on this. I'll be real, I think this is one of the worst parts of the episode as it contributes to all of the pacing problems plaguing it. It’s obnoxious, boring and pads the episode when they could've used that time on literally anything else. Though that staring contest is very symbolic, because the episode itself past that is also obnoxious, boring and padding. So congrats if it was intentional. The pacing is terrible in this episode, and it contributes to why the ending is so rushed and stupid. Literally 90% of the episode is buildup to something we barely get to see: the Texas rodeo itself. I don't understand how you have an episode about the gang going to Texas...only to have the actual "going to Texas part" be in the last two minutes. And the last minute is the actual hyped up rodeo, which is over in the blink of an eye. This is up there for one of my personal worst SpongeBob endings. Outside of pacing, I didn't even find any jokes in this episode funny either, to be quite honest. Most of it is wasted on slow, padded out jokes, or mean-spirited "jokes" about people not caring about Sandy (which wore out its welcome fast). This is a relatively minor gripe compared to every other issue the episode has, but I'll admit I'm really not a fan of Sandy's song either. I get what they were going for, but for the whole thing just came off cringe and uggh. Even the aesthetic visuals for the on land portion felt really bad compared to their other work. I guess they didn't care since it was only going to be used at the last two minutes, but I’m not a fan. Also, randomly mentioning that Sandy has a twin brother (which okay sure why not) to set up the "plot" only to not show him at the rodeo was very strange. This episode as a whole is a strange mess, it's like they had to rush to finish this one to meet a deadline. It really feels like this should've been a half-hour special so it could've fleshed everything out more. Seriously, I feel the gang going to Texas was more special worthy than most specials nowadays, but whatever. Oh yeah, and now for the elephant in the room: the way the main cast don't even care if Sandy never returns is garbage too. It's a giant slap in the face to everything the episode Texas stood for. Haha, they don't care if Sandy returns! Where's the actual joke or the punchline? I know everyone hates Someone's in the Kitchen With Sandy for her treatment there, but I'd argue Rodeo Daze honestly even has worse Sandy treatment than it, albeit a bit more subtle in how it's handled. In Kitchen, at least the people bugging Sandy were just random no name civilians, which you'd expect from the Bottomites at this point in the series. Ultimately, they're background fodder, so it's not like their stupidity matters that much when they're not the forefront. Here however...we have main cast members like Mr. Krabs, Squidward, Patrick and even Gary (seriously, what the hell dude?) who don't give care if Sandy never returns. It's annoying and not funny in the slightest, especially after everything the town did for her in Texas so that she would stay. But who cares about that heartwarming episode, let's throw all of that out the window and waste a great premise just to make half-baked, stupid, and cruel jokes. Even ignoring all of that, there's nothing else of substance in the episode, and for an episode about going to Texas, that's sad. This episode actually could’ve worked under the right circumstances, and knowing they wasted such a neat premise this badly makes me hate it all the more.

Klu Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Fungus Among Us is.... episode i don't care much about. There are way worse gross-out episodes in the series in that and frankly, it don't disgust me that much. My main issue that it just doesn't even try to tell any jokes? It takes itself way too seriously for it's own good. Rodeo Daze is garbage and rightfully made the list, Jjs's reivew was pretty self-absorbed, so I don't have to add anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJack Horseman Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I honestly don't hate Rodeo Daze. Plankton blowing himself up was too funny for me to exclude it on my list but I agree that it was a waste of potential with what could have been a fun rodeo only to be ruined by cheap live action sequence and the town not giving a shit for Sandy which was too cruel and SpongeBob kidnapping everyone to take them to Texas was just wrong. So ye, the ep totally deserved to be on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweat Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Fungus Among Us is another one of the most "overhated" episodes to me. I personally see it as a genuinely enjoyable, fun twist on body horror tropes, kinda similar to Whelk Attack. I hope it keeps falling down on this list. Rodeo Daze, like Dear Vikings, is a ridiculously underwritten and stupid episode, but unlike Dear Vikings, it's not to the point where it wraps around and becomes enjoyable. It's just a limp and lazy episode - not worth hating, but certainly one that you could argue is "objectively" bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachBob95 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 While I think FAU is a cool episode, it became clear that I'm the biggest hater of Rodeo Daze. Jjs' review nailed it. Aside from the part with Plankton, the episode is downright insulting to me and to the show itself. How can you make a premise like that So. Bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Z Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 How in the WORLD could I possibly FORGET about the existence of "Fungus Among Us"?! That episode segment is SO terrible, I would have EASILY ranked it at LEAST my #13 if I had remembered about it! This is the point where SOME writers actually STARTED thinking that gross-out humor would be a GOOD fit for "Spongebob Squarepants", the way it was for "Ren and Stimpy". SPOILER alert, seven seasons and THIRTEEN years of trying later, it STILL isn't! And it never WILL be! "Rodeo Daze" actually HAD an interesting idea concept, they just took WAY too long in trying to actually get us TO the Rodeo, not enough time AT the Rodeo, and the Rodeo didn't even HAVE any good animation! If they wanted to do "Rodeo Daze" justice, they should've done the animation on dry land with TRADITIONAL animation, the way they did in "Feral Friends". Enough said, true believers!

WinterArcanine Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Fungus Among Us: Not on my list, but is bottom 50. [slightly] Gross episode and the townspeople attacking Spongebob for being covered in fungus is bad. Kinda boring too. Rodeo Daze: I used to love this episode, and in 2017, on sbm, I always defended it a lot. Nowadays ehhh..... I still don't dislike it at all but about half of the episode is kinda boring admittedly, and I don't care for the song. They also rushed the ending. However I will continue to defend the thing about the townspeople "not caring about Sandy", most of the characters don't seem to have been listening to Spongebob in the first place, and in Squidward's case, he didn't even like Sandy in Texas anyway (he was the only person who didn't look happy about Sandy staying in Bikini Bottom in the ending of that episode). And even if they were listening to Spongebob, they probably thought Spongebob was overreacting and Sandy was gonna be fine at the rodeo, which was correct.

Popular Post OWM Posted May 25, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2019 22. "Hand it over, Patrick! I get to play with the Patty Pal today!" Yours, Mine and Mine, 191 points 17 out of 41 lists (Highest Rank #4 @Wintermelon43) (-3) Melon: Honestly, I think this episode is overlooked in terms of most hated episodes. This episode is one of the most annoying and frustrating episodes to me of the series, and my least favorite Patrick episode. In fact, this is even the only episode I hated as a kid. As for why I find this so annoying and frustrating….. well, the first and most obvious thing, is that Patrick is so annoying here. The problem isn’t that he’s frustratingly stupid. The problem is that he’s annoyingly jerkish and childish. Patrick is such a jerk in this episode by not allowing Spongebob to play with the krabby patty toy at all, and refusing to share it for even a minute. It’s not only jerkish and annoying and frustrating, but this whole argument over the toy is really childish as well. While I think Spongebob is justified in being mad at Patrick of course, he still contributes to the whole childish thing because the whole sharing argument is just frustratingly childish and annoying. And to make things even worse, there is such an extremely obvious solution to this conflict. The toy was made so easily that at any moment, Spongebob could have just made his own toy, and then they wouldn’t have to share (and this does happen at the end). This obvious solution makes it so frustrating to watch them not do this and instead continue to do this childish argument over sharing. Also, I hate that “haven’t you learned anything about sharing?” line. It just shows that Patrick learned nothing from the episode, and makes sb lose money for no fair reason. In conclusion, this is a really frustrating, childish, and annoying episode, with an obvious solution they don’t do, annoying characters, painfully annoying conflict, a bad ending, very few good jokes, and the worst Patrick appearance of the show…… until a year ago. 21. "It's the most realistic story I've ever heard!" The Main Drain, 191 points 17 out of 41 lists (Highest Rank #1 @Coffee_lover) (NEW) Coffee: Here. We. Go. When people hear a question "What is the worst episode out of all Legends of Bikini Bottom ark?",majority will say singly that Trenhbillies was,or Sponge-Cane on a lesser extent.While I’m agree with group that those 2 suck,I think that all of those people overlooked one really hidden treasure of a wreckage,that not only the worst out of all ark,it’s cracked my personal Number One spot of the worst episode ever made:The Main Drain.It’s honestly a really special episode,but in the most wrong and worst way that I could ever imagine,not because of quality humor,or unforgettable story that I will remember as stand-out for the series,it’s isn’t an unique characters’ interactions,or a beautiful visual presentation,no,all of it’s speciality came at the fact at how progressively lazy this episode ever went.It’s far from begin the only episode that you can call legit "lazy",especially when we went into Season 7’s territory,but the laziness of The Main Drain is the whole new,low form of the terrible writing that this show has ever produced as for date. My main issue out there is that the entire thing feels obnoxiously broken and uncared since the very beginning.The former of a """""conflict""""" here is the story of Mr Krabs,that introduces to us a actual Main Drain.This story is about two kids,that pulled out the big plug and right after the entire ocean been rusted into the hole,since then nobody was ever heard from...where do I even should start here?The whole thing made no connection or sense grammatically in the slightest,if Bikini Bottom been pulled into giant hole,how it’s still on it’s normal place?Or townspeople that live in it?Maybe you will found pretty dumb that I’m pointing this out that obvious here,but apparently actual episode isn’t pointed that whatsoever.Spongebob isn’t a show that based on facts and facts only,sure,but it’s one thing when it’s something as minor,silly point like,let’s say,when there’s fire underwater,or if it has any connection with previous scenes and scenes that go after,but the whole plug thing is the the first draft here,and treat it so indifferently is really obnoxious to me.Another point that would’ve be a good argument is that it’s might be a "joke" or "irony",that it’s about one thing but it also completely opposite of what we heard about...no,episode doesn’t even try to make that,it’s just a bad and ignorant plot point that been thrown out and doesn’t wanted to protect itself(well,it did at the end,but we going to talk about that sooner).And if at first it’s been just a tale,then episode ruined this argument completely with adding a plot twist with Mr Krabs and Plankton.Not only it’s make everything even more confusing than it already was,the foreshadowing here is so poorly delivered that I can’t buy it,because episode tried too obvious with hidden this twist since the beginning of it.But it’s not where we going to end this mess,oh no,THE ACTUAL point that made me hate this episode this much is the actual ending. After everything and everyone been sucked into the a giant hole,the whole story ended up begin just a Patrick’s dream all of that time.I’m going to be honest,the whole "It was just a dream" device is the worst,evil and pathetic cliche and so self-defense I’ve ever meet in any show.It basically make a pass for plots begin as nonsensical,lame,lazy,and unfocused as writer want it to be,it also makes the whole existence of episode to be generously useless in the first place,because,why should I care and sympathize to this conflict or character if anything that happened here is a fake?It’s not the only way to make everything from your episode pointless and make you realize that you wasted your time for a story that bring absolutely nothing(I’m looking at you,Bumper to Bumper),but this is easily the worst way possible to do so.And it’s not like Sleepy Time,when the main point of premise begin a dream is actually worked,because episode tell that to audience since the beginning,and every rules of plot related on this fact,in The Main Drain there’s haven’t beena single hint for that,it’s been about absolutely different things at first,and then it popped out this ending twist out of nowhere.Again,we have a lot of episodes in Spongebob that are lazy as sin,but I can give at least a little credit to them,at least they hasn’t tried to protect themselves with "well it’s a dream so it’s that stupid and nonsensical",while Drain tried really hard to drop off all of responsibility,and ended up begin worse than any of his partners.Heck!Episode hasn’t even bothered to actually ended itself!Episode just cut off itself in the middle of that dream twist,and that’s it.If it’s isn’t the peak of laziness that show ever had as for date,then I have no idea what is. However,episode hasn’t stoped it’s crimes on this spot.... You know what is really aggravate me for the double times?Is that from all of what I talked about above is,at best,3 minutes of episode.What happened for the other 7?You may ask me.The answer is:absolutely nothing that matters for already nonexistent conflict.Rest of the time is basically Spongebob and Patrick just ditching around location as slow and lame as you can make it.Even before we got into the tale that Mr Krabs tell,we got the whole sequence of Spongebob doing pointless things in Krusty Krab for around 2 minutes,yes,there’s been a point that because he worked he didn’t noticed that sink is clogged up,but trust me,for that scenario been wasted 10 seconds,the rest episode could’ve been cut easily and nothing would’t be missed that is important to the conflict.Or how about the middle of episode?After Plankton’s scene,all of things that happened,until last minute,can easily been cut off as well and nothing that matters wouldn’t disappear.That "adventure" “,that Spongebob an Patrick had,didn’t moved the plot for any way and the actual Drain Plug was crafted by episode randomly.And at this point,this episode feels like a Season 5’s short that ended up having more time and so lifelessness of middle post movie.Actually,that’s is an insult to Season 5,because even a damn Waiting has more effect and creativity put into than this failure can even dreaming for. And speaking of creativity...episode has nothing that I can associated with this word.Other episodes from Legends ark at least has any identical locations or characters in it,even if they suck,but Main Drain not even try to do something with it’s concept,all of locations in episode is just as same that we seen a billions times before on this show,and it’s a shame because I see some room for new premises,like,why episode hasn’t show actual location that appear under this Drain Plug?Or not about that in general?It’s could’ve been a really good idea and that’s only came in my mind just in one second.But no,instead we have a bland filth that forced you to watch bunch of dead-air sequences without any actual energy or uniqueness. And I didn’t even mention how awful humor in episode was.It’s isn’t a gross-out or Ticket running gag from Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful,but it’s still absolutely unbearable and I wish that they didn’t been added in episode at all.The main reason why of all of delivered jokes failed is because,just like the plot,every single one dragged out as long as 11 minutes can possibly pass.Middle post movie in general has it’s own trick with trying to make the jokes much longer than they really should be,with this abysmal pacing jokes became predictable on a half of the run,or so childish at how obvious it trying to explain the comedy matter to audience rather that tell it naturally.This episode take this rule and messed it up even more than your average bad episodes did.Basically every joke in here goes at least for a 30 seconds more that it really needed to be,gags like Wet Floor sign,Bubble Bus,Squidward begin crushed by a Patrick’s rock...all of those ones deserved at least 14 Oscars Awards of "Worst Delivered Jokes" category.Or how about all of the jokes that rely on Patrick?They are just as awful,not only he in general been crafted into episode "just because lol",all of things that he did are obnoxious and painfully lame,like him turned out the boombox when Mr Krabs told the tale,or the way he "accidentally" pull out the plug at the end,despite a frame ago didn’t holding it and had no motivation to do as in the slightest.And how can I forget about the last quote of episode,"It’s the most realistic story I’ve ever heard !" ,just an another bloody proof that self-irony is the single most dangerous and lowest form of humor that you can meet.The jokes is just at it’s worst and one of the worst of the series. At the end of the day,I just can’t say anything positive about this episode,at all.Even other episodes that I despise has something remotely minor that made me feel satisfied,even something that isn’t really an episode’s work and more like a silly post on Spongebob Wiki that mentioned this episode.But I had nothing with The Main Drain.There’s non a single joke that worked even on a halfway,plot is ripped apart since the beginning,left the whole thing until last 30 seconds,and ended up begin a fake,showing with it a middle finger to the audience.Characters are you typical one dimensional plot devices that has predictable motivations or no motivations at all.Animation is cheap looking and despite having premise that had potential for a new locations,there’s was non a single one.I honestly cannot even give this episode a zero out of ten,because it brings to me so much negative vibes for begin something like "nothing".I loathe this episode to death,and the fact that harmless stuff like Best Day Ever made the worst list last year yet this atrocious didn’t even get into honorable mention is just beyond my mind.At least it get it’s deserved place on shit-parade this time. 4 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
