SBC's Top 50 Best Episodes Ever! 2015 Edition
"SBC's Top 50 Best Episodes Ever" is a now-annual, fan-voted countdown, compiling lists of member's favorite episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants. The 2015 edition was a follow-up to the 2013 edition, which rebooted an old topic from 2011. Members were allowed to send commentary to give kind words and praises on their picks, and was incredibly active, with the most members sending a list than any similar topic, and was one of the most popular topics in the SpongeBob subforum, with over 10,000 views and 300 replies. The topic is once again hosted by Wumbo, but starting 2016, future editions were hosted by More and Trophy.

Trivia
- This is the third year the countdown was hosted. It was also the most popular with 26 lists sent and loads of discussion.
- Chocolate With Nuts topped the list for the first time since 2011. It also got the most #1 votes. Other episodes with multiple #1 votes were Dying for Pie (#3), Krusty Krab Training Video (#4), and The Camping Episode (#8)
- This year saw a fair amount of post-movie episodes on the list, 10 in total, whereas the last list included a meager 5. However, only one (Plankton's Pet at #21) aired after 2007. The competition didn't even come close.
- Many people decided to "leak" their lists at the end as if that had any relevance whatsoever.
- Honorable Mentions (with 45 points or more) were posted at the end of the list. They are:
- Fools in April - 45 points
- Jellyfish Hunter - 45 points
- Planet of the Jellyfish - 47 points
- Sailor Mouth - 47 points
- Rock-a-Bye Bivalve - 49 points
- Tea at the Treedome - 51 points
- Naughty Nautical Neighbors - 52 points
- Hooky - 53 points
- Walking Small - 53 points
- Out of these, "Planet of the Jellyfish", "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve", and Sailor Mouth made the list next year.
