Band Geeks is arguably the best episode of SpongeBob SquarePants where Squidward is the main character.

[@captain_deadpoolcx7585]

There's been phycological research to why the Krusty krab pizza episode is the best episode lol

[@mbdg6810]

@@captain_deadpoolcx7585cite it lol

[@bipolitthefighter2599]

CORRECT!!!

[@Pablo.673]

Christmas Who?, Can You Spare a Dime?, Squidville, and even Friendiversary from the newest season are all miles better imo

[@SG-jc1pe]

​@@captain_deadpoolcx7585nah, I saw the research, I think it's off. Krusty Krab pizza is a good episode, definitely one of the best season 1 episodes. However, I feel as though when compared to the rest of the episodes in season 2 and 3, it's not the definitive SpongeBob experience.

[@stephanginther9051]

I've always loved how Spongebob can suddenly sing super well when its comedically appropriate.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes! 😂

[@justinc.5591]

There are a lot of funny Patrick lines in the series but “Is mayonnaise an instrument?” has to be my favorite.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes, me too! 😂

[@acgearsandarms1343]

“To the owner of the white Sedan, you left your lights on.” (Trombone noises)

[@stargazer-elite]

Well, it’s probably the one of the most iconic

[@MeredithAnne88]

Is it sad that I think of one of my coworkers when I hear that quote? 🤭

[@bhavanijayant526]

And the kicking I wanna do some kicking lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mbdg6810]

Plankton getting the harmonica was done for comedic purposes.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes lol!

[@johnharris6655]

This song is written and performed by David Glen Eisley, who is married to Oliva Hussey who played Juliet in the 1968 movie "Romeo and Juliet.' This song never went anywhere but when it was performed on Sponge Bob, it shot up the charts to #23. Funny how a song can be around for years but it gets played in a tv show or movie and it becomes popular, like 500 miles by the proclaimers.

[@cursedkevin]

So glad people recommended you this one. This one happens to be most people’s favorite episode of the show as a matter of fact and it’s interesting to see a whole new perspective coming from someone who hasn’t seen much of Spongebob before

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks! I really enjoyed it ! 👍👍

[@SupportGamin2024]

I guess you could say This episode was a SWEET VICTORY!

[@blankblankness2971]

This makes me want to recommend School of Rock (2003). It’s a really funny movie about a guy who gets kicked out of his band, then impersonates a substitute teacher to get money when he can’t pay the rent for his apartment, but eventually grows attached to the students after hearing them play in music class and decides to enter them into Battle of the Bands.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Thanks! Adding it to my list! 👍

[@ItchyBurritoMiniAltThingy]

This episodes is great, Plankton's Intro on the Piano still sends chills down the spine, & SpongeBob's drastic unexplained voice change is hilarious for some reason

[@isaacogunmuko3947]

Fun Fact SpongeBob lipped synced David Eisley's Sweet Victory song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHPPeIaQpraXpZI

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes! I agree lol

[@kaylagaymon4873]

Band Geeks is one of the best episodes of all time. The memes were so funny. Sweet Victory was the most epic performance ever. RIP Stephen Hillenburg. His legacy shall live on forever 🎵🎤🎷🪗🎸🎹🎺🥁🪈🔥🙏🏾✨️🤣

Don't forget the episodes SpongeHenge Sweet and Sour Squid

[@blankblankness2971]

11:16 There is some truth to this. Some species of crab use their claws when trying to attract mates, but they’re only instrumental parts of the process; the crabs use their claws to waft pheromones they emit, which are the real things they use to attract mates.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

You’re right!

[@LexusLFA554]

Saw a comment saying this episode drops today, couldn't wait. Underrated channel, great reactions. The song Sweet Victory was written for the episode, but that didn't stop it from becoming a massive hit. My town indeed has a local music club, as does almost every village surrouding us. In the german version, white sedan is actually replaced by a real car model, in that case a Opel Kapitän, which was a luxury car in the 70s.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Wow, thanks so much for the feedback!!! 😀😀👍👍

[@jagerzaku9160]

That’s really neat, I’m only really familiar with Opel through my study of WWII and some top gear clips but they always seemed to have interesting vehicles.

[@johnharris6655]

Actually it was written in 1997 by David Glen Eisley and Bob Kulick. It did not do that well until the Sponge Bob episode in 2001 when it hit #23 on the charts.

He should react to the one where Squidward is an art teacher There is also one where Sandy's professors from land come and view her inventions. That could be one to react to

[@ACinemafanatic]

My favorite episode ever it’s hilarious cleverly written and in the end the town came through together for squidward and squidward was finally happy. Also that freeze frame was so clever like a nod to the 80s movies.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes!

[@richardkirkland6805]

Fun fact: Originally, the crew of the episode actually tried doing the mysic by themselves. However, their attempt at bad music was SO bad, that the studio told them they had to get professional musicians to play it instead.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Lol 😂

[@serpent6827]

Such a great episode. After high school, the community college that I am apart of had a campus band that I was in for 12 years which consisted of people of many different ages so it was kind of a community band. That is until covid unfortunately threw everything out of whack and I don't know if they do it anymore. I miss it.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yeah, community band can be a lot of fun! 😎👍

[@donnaasbury]

I have a suggestion that I don’t think anyone has said yet. This episode is kinda related to “school-themed episodes” it’s called License To Milkshake in Season 9.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

I will check it out!

[@blankblankness2971]

I like the twist at the end of that one.

[@yasminaunicorn3735]

Listening to this song for the last four months and still haven’t stopped.

[@oscarlemus4209]

What I always found impressive is how the characters never had played an instrument and on the first try, they don’t do too bad

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

Yes! It does happen this way sometimes, just not like in the video. 😂

Music trivia: David Bowie guest starred in a 2007 SpongeBob special entitled, “Atlantis Squarepantis”. And Beck, the Grammy award winning genre blending alternative rock musician used to be neighbor’s with SpongeBob’s creator Stephen Hillenberg way back in the 90’s.

[@SchoolPrincipalReacts]

This is probably one best episodes of og spongebob

[@cjg8763]

A few years back the NFL said this song would be played during half time at a super bowl show. People were expecting an actual live band showing up to play this song but instead all they did was show a very short video clip from this episode. I'm not a sports fan but I tuned in for halftime just to see it and I, along with millions of others, felt very let down.

I'm a 32yr old Canadian, but it's surprisingly refreshing to see a high school principal with a KZbin channel! Any GOOD principal wants to reach out to their students in a way that resonates with them; not many have the insight to do it so casually and yet perfectly ❤❤

When I was a kid, I always thought there was some whacky conspiracy going on to keep the best episode of spongebob off TV. Now I know its because of copyright law and paying royalties, this was probably the most expensive episode to air at the time.

7:47 Apparently the production crew wanted the band to sound authentically bad during this scene so they initially got two men working at the loading docks at a music store to play instruments with no knowledge or practice. Apparently the music that was played was so horrible that Stephen Hillenburg, the creator, rejected the recordings. Instead, they got a professional band to poorly perform a tune.

If you take suggestions or requests to reacting to video game schools through KZbin or whatever like Baldi, I think you may find enjoyment or interest in two games called "Kindergarten" and "Kindergarten 2"! However, those games are a little violent and get a little crazy for what they visually look like just from looking at them. Other than that, I enjoy these insightful reactions and definitely learn a lot about schools, especially from the perspective of a graduated homeschooler!
