I love the episode because of how much a person can relate to the plot. I personally know what it's like to lose a beloved pet and the sadness it can cause. It's a nice change of pace from Spongebob's usual antics that can't be replicated in real life. Yes I can see why it kind of fails as a drama, but it gives Spongebob more character and gives more variety to the series.

[@Oban2006]

I can't, never had a pet

[@SylentVoidkeeper]

Also, I consider the song fucking awesome

[@KidSnivy69]

That probably explains why I don't care, no pets

[@andrewbaillie5549]

​@@NickTheEnlightenedI agree but I don't think that just because an episode isn't funny doesn't make it not good and Gary came back it's not like in a pal for Gary he abused his pet he's still looking and theirs are funny moments in-between that alone is enough to say it's a good episode and he didn't like driven to tears but because it was funny it's now good on earth.

[@gerawallstar3487]

I actually love "Have you seen this snail?" a.k.a "Where's Gary?", because this special does have a few decent jokes, and the story is well written. As what one of the reviewers in the video states that "SB is pretty annoying at times, but you can still relate and feel empathy for the character in episodes like this", It made me feel very emotional towards SB and makes you feel so sorry for him that he losts his pet. The song is also good and Well-written, unlike most of the other bad songs on the show like in "To love a Patty" for example. The song has a R&B feel to it, and it is quite catchy and emotional. The Jokes like Patrick's one-liners, and Squidward screaming theee times in the bathtub was hilarious. So yeah, this episode has a good storyline, and good humour too. It is a HUGE improvement over "Dumped."

Patrick seeing Gary at the hardware store is not all that different from him forgetting he saw spongebob's identity on his back in "Missing identity".

[@LaBoss47]

People found you giving this episode a meh controversial? I was far more shocked when you gave the first movie a meh. I personally enjoy this episode a lot due to the small bits of comedy from Patrick and relating to Spongebob's pain. As a kid, and still to this day I feel for Spongebob and the song makes me tear up a little. From the top of my head I think this is the only Spongebob episode to make me feel something more than joy, frustration, or boredom.

I honestly really really liked this episode. I find it very underrated. It's a very emotional and touching episode and you really feel for both Spongebob and Gary. It made me believe a lot more that they were buddies no matter what. In my opinion, this is definitely a good episode and one of my favorites from Season 4. Sure, it might barely have any humor for a Spongebob episode, but this episode wasn't meant to be funny.

I love the episode because it's different. It takes advantage of the connection people have established in these characters. One of the few season 4 episodes that are amazing.

[@EsmeAmelia]

My cat died recently and when I was holding his body in my lap, the song from this episode actually ran through my head. Especially the line, "Your meow right now would sound like music to me." :( I don't know if you have any pets or not, but this episode really captures how much we love our pets. Of course it's going to feature SpongeBob being sad a lot - it shows how much he really, really loves Gary - which is probably why this episode came to mind (and was even a little bit comforting) when my cat died.

[@PIEGUYRULZ]

+EsmeAmelia I absolutely have had a beloved cat that died. Just because a story is about a subject that I can relate to, doesn't mean it's automatically good. I don't mind SB being sad, but the thing is basically a big dull mopefest.

[@FrozenUSA]

I agree. "Dumped" did a much better job at balancing the comedy and the drama with the same subject. I know you also gave that episode a meh, but I think it is one of if not the best Gary centered episode of the entire series.

[@samehere1733]

+FrozenUSA lol no a pal for gary is better jk but "pineaple invasion" its pretty decent

[@familybroakajonny]

@@samehere1733agreed HAHA JK I do think Dumped out of the 3 is better

[@AzurknightOMEGA]

My favorite part of the episode was when Gary saw the picture of all the snails and they shout RUN!!! It was just a funny surreal moment and it was just so quick and funny that I loved it.

[@alexanderklepp]

I'd like to share my own feelings about this. First, I can't agree about Gary's Song. It may be a bit schmaltzy, but I think it's sweet and touching and while yes, it may have been clear that SpongeBob will get Gary back, kids watching it for the first time (like myself) don't know better. Also, Patrick not remembering Gary didn't bug me because by that point the audience knows Gary has escaped so it's clear that Gary is safe and returning home. I understand why you think that way, but my feelings on SpongeBob in general are different than others. I don't do pre-movie and post-movie divide up and I feel that if I enjoy a certain episode and want to see it again, it's good. I personally don't divide the show season by season but rather as a whole. Simpsons is the same way for me. Family Guy, not so much, partially because I don't watch it. That to me is a more healthy way to look at a TV show, even one with no continuity. I just pick and choose what I like rather than change my views because it's popular to do so.

[@onettaviator5396]

I've always loved this special ever since it came out when I was a toddler.

[@Xjp190]

Has anyone noticed that The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie feels like a full length Help Wanted?

[@redcandlejm3155]

Great review, Pieguy! One thing I like about this episode is after seeing episodes like "A pal for Gary" and "Pet sitter pat" it's nice to see SpongeBob see the error of his ways and try to get Gary to come home. This episode shows that SpongeBob legitimately cares for Gary and wants to be a good pet owner. Also, the part where Gary finds all the old snail shells really freaked me out as a kid. I like how this episode has a pretty sad tone overall and then they throw in this random scary moment to top it all off.

[@prehistorichero2755]

This is the saddest episode I've ever watched, but it still had funny moments, like the Squidward shower scene.

[@B0ssguy]

A good spongebob episode is classified on if it’s funny, if it has a good storyline, and if it’s not greatly exaggerating a personality (for the later seasons). I like this episode because it’s a good story, and there were good jokes, like the nachos, snail painting saying “run!”, the pine cones, etc. despite being a sad episode, it gets to your heart and keeps it interesting the whole way. It’s a good episode for me. Like if you agree

[@theodorech20]

This episode is good, but it's not fantastic as it is. There are ways to make this better. - Increase Gary screentime with a crazy grandma and perhaps give him first sense of suspicion, but still rejects Spongebob (which is the core of a drama). Gary part is better in this episode overall. - This also means reduce Spongebob screentime and make Spongebob's progression of finding the pet bumpier and exciting, but also give Patrick stupid yet brilliant moments so they can get to Gary closer. - Add more comedy. Yes, Melodrama and comedy can go hand to hand if done well. They can also play comedy as long as it progresses the plot forward (and it's even better when it's Patrick doing it with stupid yet works at finding Gary) - Perhaps Spongebob meets Gary while being chased by crazy grandma showing his scared and innocent expression when seeing Spongebob on sight make it cuter, engaging, and heartwarming.

Have you seen this snail is one of my favourite episodes. It has no filler patchy segments and I actually feel emotion for the characters. Some of the jokes are hilarious such as, "Spongebob what happened... This picture is off centre!" When Squidward screams, " Who is this Lisa person?" And,"Office materials falling from the sky!" Where's Gary and Gary come home are some of my favourite songs in the whole series. Patrick is really dumb when he sees Gary but it is still funny. In my opinion this episode is a stand out of season 4.

I feel like anyone who has lost a pet, or someone/thing really close to them can really relate to and love this episode, as its accuracy in the portrayal of losing a pet is probably its strongest aspect. At the end of the day, can we at least all agree that the best SpongeBob special is Christmas Who?

Much like Fear of a Krabby Patty, this is one of those other early Season 4 episodes I always saw as kind of classic. This was a really good review. I completely understand and honestly I kind of agree. While I do like this episode it IS a little slow at times and definitely isn't one of my favorites in the series, though I liked it enough to watch it multiple times when I was younger. Oh, and thanks for including my thoughts at the end, I was afraid I was either too late with them or didn't say enough; I really appreciate it and I actually LOVED this idea of having these comments in the video.

[@lukerbom12]

[@cherriegetison6093]

From an industry perspective, I'd like to point something out that not a lot of people have gotten at when it comes to this distinction between "pre-movie" and "post-movie", and that is the process by which the episodes are written. Writing for animated comedy shows is usually divided into two categories: premise-based and script-based. Premise-based shows call upon professional writers to come up with story outlines (usually three paragraphs), and storyboard artists will expand upon the story. These tend to result in more visual humor, due to artists having a stronger role in fleshing out the story. Script-based shows are written primarily by professional writers, and storyboard artists will create visuals for a story set in place. These shows tend to have auditory humor. Shows like Star vs. TFOE, Sanjay and Craig, Phineas and Ferb are premise-based. Shows like Simpsons and Bob's Burgers are script-based. (Phineas and Ferb co-creators Povenmire and Marsh commented on the shift from working on shows like The Simpsons to Phineas and Ferb. Script writers easily forgot about including Maggie Simpson because she was a silent character with no lines. Storyboard artists would more easily remember the presence of the silent Ferb.) SpongeBob was originally premise-based, but shifted to script-based with its peak of success. This resulted in a loss of visual humor. Gags related to SpongeBob's form were suddenly restricted to story points, rather than incidental humor. There was a lot more auditory dialogue and jokes. There is no shame to a script-based or premise-based show; both can lead to incredible productions. But the show's charm comes from its visual humor. I'll have to ask someone on the show soon about the current writing process. Wonder if it's changed.

[@sophiathekitteh]

10/10 would see again!I liked the episode except for the bit about Patrick wanting scented pinecones and when he saw Gary at the crafts store and didn't remember seeing him. I think that the creepy snail lady was overfeeding then eating the snails. sorry for that imagery... imho a great episode!

[@nerdythespian1212]

Hey PieGuy, have you ever thought of doing a podcast about reviews?

[@tykennedy2281]

Hey Pieguy. I wanted to propose a new Square Theory idea about analyzing the character of Plankton. The question being: Why does a lot of the fandom find Plankton sympathetic? Plankton is an over the top villain who knows he's evil and enjoys being evil yet over time you kind of end up feeling sorry for him. Hell, after the show went through seasonal rot, a lot of people claim he's the only likable main character left and do I even have to mention how many fans were outraged by his treatment in One Course Meal and Plankton's Regular. You even ended your TV movie idea with Mr Krabs giving Plankton the original Krusty Krab. I hope you take this idea to consideration.

[@hibye739]

I just couldn't take the episode seriously knowing how this will probably never be mentioned again for the rest of the series.

[@papershadow]

I think the episode is a bit more distinct from "Dumped" than I get the impression you seem to feel yourself. The core of "Dumped" was Spongebob trying to win Gary back over after he chose to leave for Patrick, while this story has Spongebob legitimately wrong Gary and trying to find him and apologize. It makes "Dumped" more of a comedy at its core because Spongebob is getting very dramatic and bumbling about his antics when logically he's the only one that cares much about them, whereas this story clearly demonstrates at the end that Gary would acknowledge the apology when he can see it. The crux of "dumped" is a myriad of plans to win Gary back over and then living in denial, but HYSTS never has a point where Spongebob even pretends to be content with losing Gary, to the point he actively leaves work to go look for him, an act that for this character holds a lot of weight. There's also a distinction in that the old Snail Lady presents an obstacle to the ending, whether as a caretaker or a danger, since even if Gary does forgive Spongebob it raises the question of if he'd leave the cushy life, then if he can survive to make it back to Spongebob; Dumped has Gary as literally the only thing that decides who he stays with, he didn't have to give anything up or be rescued if he wanted Spongebob back as his owner, so the stakes were kept low and thus made the comedy more exaggerated by consequence. The other thing is that, as noted, any suffering, comedic or otherwise, is primarily self-inflicted in "Dumped," whereas in HYSTS, Spongebob is broken up over Gary being gone at his own fault, and during Gary's stray time, he's clearly afraid and starving. Sure there are jokes like the alley snails actually being friendly, but it's not brought on by Gary or Spongebob choosing to obsess over something comparatively trivial. I'm also not the type who takes the Status Quo for granted in a cartoon, in that I assume each episode will start in the same basic place, but not that they are required to end in the same place (like Tuna Patrick in "Hooked" or the ending of "Shanghaied"), and even if the situation is the same, the character's in such shows tend to change when they do dramatic episodes.

I think this episode is really sad, but I think it's better than dumped.

I'm Fine With What You Say But This Is Honestly My Favourite Special In Fact If It Wasn't For The Airplane Bit At The End Of Gary Came Home This Would've Been My Favourite Episode Of The Show But It Still Takes 2nd Place
