Every SpongeBob Season 1 Episode Reviewed!

Welcome to the first part of my new SpongeBob project! I plan on reviewing every SpongeBob episode ever, to determine which episodes and seasons are good, and which are pure ScumBob. In this video I review all 41 episodes in the first season, which includes giving fun facts, highlights, quotes, and a definitive answer as to weather I find it good, meh, or ScumBob. In addition, I talk about my favorite episodes in the season, talk about some misconceptions I had before re watching the season, and give some general notes, stats, and facts about the season. It's a long, fun ride, so grab a Kelp bar and enjoy this video!

I like how slow and controlled the humor was in the earlier seasons...timing was perfect, delivery was great...in the later seasons things go by so fast, and there is barely any more silent comedy...they think they have to put a comedy musical sting after every joke or absurd moment in the new episodes. Example: Squidward: "Well I'M going to get to the bottom of this thing!" SpongeBob: "Wouldn't that be the top?" *brief 2-3 second hold on Spongebob and Patrick* Now THAT's funny.

Spongebob annoying Squidward doesn't always work. In the post movie seasons they went way overboard with squidward torture-porn, to the point that it's just painful to watch. But it worked for the pre-movie seaons.

[@BlackJackel12]

It all really boils down to if Squidward deserves his punishment. If he was being overly arrogant, negative, or pretentious, he does deserve it. However, the writers in the post-movie seasons seem to forget that. They punish Squidward for no reason other than if got a few laughs in the golden era of the show. In fact, he is literally the only likable character in the post movie seasons.

I loved your review on the first season of SpongeBob. You can't argue that it was a fanatastic start to our favorite sponge's fanatastic adventures! And, I'm glad you're going to check out the later seasons' episodes. Because, like me, you're hoping to find great episodes, whether it'd be Good, Meh, or ScumBob!

[@kartoonfanatic]

I thought it was odd how Patrick mentioned Christmas before the Christmas episode, though technically, the timeline doesn't have to line up exactly by when the episodes premiered. Notice how the Christmas episode is meant to be interpreted as a past story hashed out by Patchy the Pirate, meaning that it was something that happened in a previous year. The episode even starts out by Patchy saying "Let's see how SpongeBob and Patrick are gearing up for Christmas this year!" implying that they've been doing it for a few years already... Christmas Who is like a flashback to the first Winter with Sandy in Bikini Bottom, and I suppose the story is being told a few years afterward...? That's how I made sense of it back then. XP

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

wow. Interesting analysis. I, on the other hand, never knew that order the episodes were made/aired in. I knew older/newer, but not within a single season

[@kartoonfanatic]

wariolandgoldpiramid Christmas Who aired after Jellyfishing. I only know because I watched the premiers obsessively back then. x) I was just going off of that logic. The whole timeline of SpongeBob doesn't seem to make any sense by the date that they were released (as Pieguy says, continuity isn't a prime concern for the SpongeBob writers) but it does make it hard to think of the show as a series when there seems to be major inaccuracies. That one line from Patrick in Jellyfishing technically calls bluff to the whole premise of Christmas Who, at least in that release order.

[@kartoonfanatic]

***** Oh God, I love that scene. x3 I hate how I get this episode mixed up with Karate Island, because of the title. I like that scene, too, because of the use of the live action face for a very surreal moment, the kind that appeared a lot in early SpongeBob. My favorite part is SpongeBob telling Mr. Krabs about being paranoid about Sandy, and going, "She snuck up on me---In my own do-jo..." And the way he says it.

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

@@kartoonfanatic When I was a kid, I created a fire villain based on the volcano sauce drop (And maybe Py-Ro from Crash Bandicoot? IDR) who was basically a hammy, overly dramatic villain and a sadist. Of course, he had a different voice (kinda like Swayzak from Toonami now that I think about it, but without the effects.) And because of my tastes in men as a kid, he looked bishonen (Japanese term for a "pretty" looking boy.)

Okay, I'm glad you said we could have differences of opinion on this list. "Teenage Gary" is actually one of my favorite Season 1 eps.

I came from Nathaniel Bandy. Your channel is great! I LOVE the old seasons of SpongeBob. And yeah, I think the new ones are horrible. I remember when I was little I saw the Splinter episode when it came out and... After that I was completely done with new SpongeBob. I still have all of seasons 1, 2, and 3 on DVD, and my family and I still love watching them. Nostalgia plays a part as well, but I believe they are just really good. I didn't even know you made SpongeBob videos until I came on here!

[@theretrogamer14]

I liked "I Was A Teenage Gary" it reminded me of cheesy 50s sci-fi movies. And since I was "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" on MST3k it does have a plot that can be argued is similar to the cartoon episode but that could just be me making excuses XD great lump of reviews keep it up!

[@cringelord5446]

"TECHNIQUE! TECHNIQUE!" *Probably* the best quote in the first season.

[@GrievousFrom]

I like how the earlier seasons really gave Squidward the full range. He was easily annoyed a lot and could be really vain and snobbish, but there were times when he was actually a fairly nice guy, someone I could see myself being friends with. His relationship with Spongebob is one like the relationship between brothers. They annoy you to no end and you very rarely give them the time of day (or pretend not to) and there are many very rocky moments, but when you attack one, you attack them both. I think that's missing a bit from the later series.

[@ewanthethingdoer]

Actually, the reason there is no sound in Reef Blower is because the recording they used was kinda screwed up so they used only animation, subtitles and previous music tracks.

[@emanatingf]

@Ewan Does a Thing I'd actually really like to know a little bit more about how that all works come to think of it.

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

It's because they didn't want to get the voice actors for another session. They wanted to save money.

Wait, "I was a teenage Garry" is a season 1 episode? I never would've guest... Also 25:29 SPONGBOB IS 13!?

[@mrprotoman154]

I highly doubt that seeing as Spongebob lives by himself and is trying to get his license.

[@Neutrinoce]

mrprotoman145 The episode came out 1999, it says his birth year is 1986

The Assassin Squirrel Doesn't mean it'll be good. It's not about the writers, it's about the studio. They're still going to push for ratings traps and terrible "get it out the door" storylines. I doubt Steve can repair that.

[@nascarfanatic2425]

Michelle Lehto Seeing as how he created the show, though, you've gotta believe he's not just about the ratings traps and etc. The biggest ratings traps I remember were the "Patrick for President" episodes, which were Driven to Tears and Rule of Dumb, and the "Legends of Bikini Bottom" mini-series.

[@andretheinernaut3749]

I just realized how many of my absolute favourite episodes are in this first season. It really shows how the seasons slowly declined. I kinda want every episode from this first season on DVD, just to watch when I need some classic old Spongebob. Also, fun fact about Hooky! It's my moms favourite Spongebob episode!

[@rhondahoward8025]

Suds was a very creative twist on the sick episode plot and quite a funny way to avoid being gross. Instead of Spongebob shooting snot out of his nose or showing boogers, he sneezes harmless bubbles and that's so weird, fitting, and charming.

[@thatrealycoolguy]

Y'know, a lot of cartoons' first episodes are really kind of lame because they lack a budget and aren't sure what direction to go (I sight Ed, Edd, and Eddy and Fairly Odd Parents), but Spongebob started knocking it out of the park since day one! Now that is impressive.

[@theluigifan1]

I know your comment’s nearly 7 years old so you’ve likely changed your mind on this and/or have forgotten about this comment but I personal enjoyed FOP’s first two episode segments, especially Power Mad. I liked the creativity in that segment from the video game music to the concept of Timmy stopping his evil babysitter from killing him and his best friends within a video game. It created a pretty good foundation for how golden the rest of the show would. Until, y’know, when Sparky happened. (Though I don’t hate Sparky and actually sort of enjoyed him, even I can agree his inclusion marked the beginning of the show’s decline)

[@thatrealycoolguy]

@@theluigifan1 I’m really not sure why I was talking shit on the FOP pilot. I liked it when I saw it and I like it now. I don’t even remember Ed, Ed, n’ Eddy’s pilot

[@DanielTGaming]

12:35 here's a bonus fact: Did you know that Flats, the main antagonist in the episode,"The Bully" a Season 3 Episode, accualy first appeared on,"Sandy's Rocket" a Season 1 Episode?! Plus in the episode SpongeBob traps Flats. I guess that is the reason why Flats wanted to kick SpongeBob's butt.

[@kelly_seastar]

For the longest time I thought Bubble Bass's name was "Bubble Bath."

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

Me too! It wasn't until I went on Nick's site that I learned his actual name.

[@stantheman9790]

Honestly for being the second episode in the series, I always thought Reef Blower was a great episode, but also kinda underrated. I thought the decision to make it a silent episode was an interesting idea and I felt it was a great way to show that even without dialogue, it was still a fun episode. I also thought it was a great starting point for the "SpongeBob's antics inconveniencing Squidward" angle we'd see better developed in the newer episodes. Also this episode used to scare me because of the part where SpongeBob sucks up all the water and almost suffocates a now purple Squidward. But even though it's not the greatest episode, it's a very nostalgic episode for me and I consider it an important episode in the series

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

It was the first appearance of Fred too!

[@simonwoods7112]

Yeah, this season has a lovely, slightly primitive aesthetic that perfectly complements the simplistic charm. My top 5 is quite similar to yours, actually, 3 out of your choices are also on my list. Here would be my countdown: 5. 'Culture Shock'. This one is so simple yet so beautifully realized and entertaining. Watching all of the different talent show acts is a joy, and it's just pure fun. 4. 'Pizza Delivery'. Yeah, most would have this at number one, and the only reason it's this low is my own personal preferences. Still, there's a reason this one is an all-time classic; it's extremely funny, has a real sense of scope in its desolate landscape, and a real sense of mastery of the relationship between SpongeBob and Squidward. A delight, time and time again. 3. 'Sleepy Time'. This episode has a fantastic concept, pulled through with masterful execution. SpongeBob's ventures through his friends' dreams make for a wildly entertaining, meta journey that holds up well to repeat viewing. Sandy's falling dream, giant Plankton, Squidward's clarinet recital; all classic stuff. A fun, innovative little gem, certainly one of my personal favorites. 2. 'SB-129'. The most bat-shit insane episode of the season, and I absolutely love it. The time travel, interdimensional elements make this episode so unique; aside from the iconic encounter with primitive SpongeBob and Patrick, the 'nowhere zone' Squidward enters gives the episode an almost meditative air. It is a brilliant piece of surreal humor, and one of the show's most unique episodes. 1. 'Rock Bottom'. There is no doubt in my mind: For me, this is the ultimate dark, beautiful, hysterically funny, cinematic masterpiece of the first season. Not only is it riotously funny in SpongeBob's frustration, it crafts a dark, menacing, alienating world through which our hero must venture. There is nothing else in the series that attains this gritty, eerie, get comedic atmosphere of this episode. It is easily one of the series' greatest episodes, IMO.

[@doctorawesomeness1997]

You forgot that Patrick always cry when SpongeBob is leaving him in this season.
