[@CV_Goose]

The thing about old and new spongebob is how their personalities functioned. Back then, we saw more emotion traits from the characters like in the pizza delively episode. Squidward was very grumpy but when he saw spongebob genuinely upset over having his fun journey crushed by a guy who didn't get a drink, he stepped in and actually defended him. The characters had other notable things to them and it made it feel more alive and you could actully relate to them. Nowadays, their character follow a straight line with very rare showings of other emotions. Patrick back then was an idiot but a kind hearted one, now he's just an idiot and can be very neglectful as "jokes".

17:39 yeah about that, it isn't accurate at all, Pearl is a sperm whale, a toothed whale, they don't eat plankton, they eat bigger stuff like giant squids.

The whales in the projection at the end are the proper filter feeder whales, but it kind of loses weight when so much of the episode was spreading lies about sperm whales being filter feeders. If anyone should be scared of Pearl, it should be Squidward, because sperm whales eat octopi and squid. Feral Friends did actually get this right, thankfully.

My thoughts on the Top 10 Worst Episodes and how I could fix them. 10. Squiditis - I didn't find many faults with this episode. Personally, I would've preferred the original title, "Hypochondriac Sponge" and maybe rewrite it like this. Have a sick customer walk into the Krusty Krab and have SpongeBob freak out and soon believe that he is sick, fails to treat himself, and run out in a panic. Then have Mr. Krabs order Squidward to convince SpongeBob that he isn't sick in exchange for the next two days off due to the nice weather coming soon. Squidward, through a series of gags, does manages to convince SpongeBob and the latter returns to work. When SpongeBob sees that Squidward hadn't come in the next day, SpongeBob concludes that Squidward caught the sickness he had. But this is not the case and Squidward is shown enjoying the nice day and ending the episode by saying, "who knew being sick felt so good." 9. Demolition Doofus - Instead of having Mrs. Puff go crazy due to not being able to puff, have the only way to restore Mrs. Puff's puffing being a re-inflation surgery but she's not able to afford it. Upon hearing that there is a big cash prize for winning the demolition derby, Mrs. Puff decides to use SpongeBob's reckless driving at the derby so he can get extra credit and she gets the money she needs for the surgery. No malice intent as Mrs. Puff tells SpongeBob to imagine that he's on the driving course and he does and succeeds at the derby, winning the prize for Mrs. Puff. There would also be a running gag of SpongeBob calling Mrs. Puff "Penny" after learning her first name is Penelope when Mrs. Puff calls herself a genius, much to her ire. The episode even ends with her regretting telling SpongeBob her first name. 8. Stuck in the Wringer - Easy fix! I even had my idea featured on PhantomStrider's channel. Instead of purposefully gluing SpongeBob into the wringer, have Patrick not know where he even got the glue and give it to SpongeBob while he's in the wringer. Then have Patrick use grease on his hands like chalk so he could pull SpongeBob out only to get slingshotted back and make SpongeBob wince, squeeze the glue bottle, and accidentally glue himself in the wringer. Then, spend the rest of the episode having Patrick (believing that gluing SpongeBob into the wringer was his fault) trying to find the solvent for the glue, get Sandy involved with creating the solvent, and take SpongeBob to the carnival to cheer him up instead of causing more pain and suffering. Since Sandy reveals, despite having the glue, it will take her a few days to create the solvent. As for the carnival scene, have Patrick win SpongeBob the seahorse plush instead of having SpongeBob fail to play the game and have the spinning ride fiasco be Patrick not thinking things through. As for the bit with crying, Patrick works hard to not cry during the whole episode as he wants to remain strong and crying doesn't solve any problems. But at the end of the episode, at the carnival, SpongeBob fails to eat ice cream and this causes Patrick to break down and the two inadvertently discover that tears are the solvent for said glue. They cry and SpongeBob is freed. But instead of saying that crying solves all problems, have SpongeBob say, "I guess crying can solve SOME problems after all." Then SpongeBob and Patrick both end up stuck in the wringer and Patrick, wanting to know if Sandy's solvent works as well as crying says, "If you want to see if Sandy's salt-vent works, the glue's in my back pocket" 7. Growth Spout - Honestly, nothing should be changed here. I think the episode was fine and was the only reason why Stuck in the Wringer wasn't any lower 6. Slide-Whistle Stooges - Yeah, this one is a tough one to fix. Maybe get SpongeBob and Patrick to do cartoon sound effects for a new Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy cartoon? I don't know. 5. The Splinter - Less gross imagery and remove Dr. Patrick from the episode. Enough said 4. One Coarse Meal - I've heard that this episode should be about Pearl taking over the Krusty Krab while Mr. Krabs is at the Penny Pincher's convention and Plankton work on facing his fear of whales to get the formula 3. Gary in Love - Okay, this episode was great. It was only so low on the list because of its sister episode. 2. Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful - I'd say have the policeman be less of a stalker, do not have Squidward steal the wagon, and less trash problems. I mean, HOW can the dump be closed? Although I did like the creative end with the statue made out of garbage. Now that's what I call recycling 1. A Pal For Gary - SpongeBob should've been more aware of Puffy Fluffy but denies his actions due to Puffy Fluffy remaining in his cute form. For instance, when Puffy Fluffy destroys the chew toy, SpongeBob does see the shreds and does listen to Gary when he claims that Puffy Fluffy did it. But, due to Pudfy Fluffy remaining in his cute form, SpongeBob just tells Gary to not be so rough with his toys and he'll buy him a new one tomorrow. Then, when SpongeBob sees Puffy Fluffy about to eat Gary, SpongeBob is flabbergasted and wonders what happened to Puffy Fluffy only to remember the pet stand lady's words he ignored earlier. SpongeBob berates himself for not listening to begin with then orders Puffy Fluffy to put Gary down only for Puffy to try and eat SpongeBob instead. SpongeBob tries to apologize to Gary as he fights back Puffy Fluffy then Gary rescues SpongeBob and chases Puffy Fluffy away. SpongeBob does try to call Puffy Fluffy back by saying that they could work things out but realizes the effort is meaningless. He apologizes to Gary for not listening to him and states that this was just so Gary wouldn't be lonely, which leads to Gary purring, accepting the apology. However, even though SpongeBob now knows that Gary can take care of himself, he still takes Gary to the Krusty Krab just until Puffy Fluffy is confirmed to be captured by animal control. Gary understands then the episode ends as normal with an additional line of SpongeBob telling Mr. Krabs that he'll explain everything later. Let me know what you think of these rewrites below.

I’ve rewatched the show multiple times as an adult and I feel like it is pretty clear that patrick is consistently jealous of spongebob. he understands he is considered less successful and inferior .. like in the episode where he copied spongebob in order to try to get an award. my headcannon is that patrick is just a *little bit smarter than he is given credit for and sometimes he does take his resentment out on spongebob; because in those moments he has the upper hand and doesn’t feel like he is in competition with him. but ofc I know I am probably reading too much into it

[@pepearown4968]

Only difference is that Patrick isn’t a complete jerk to SpongeBob in that episode, and the jerks are actually funny. What’s funny about him guilt tripping SpongeBob into thinking he became heartless for being put into a wringer?

Nobody ever mentions this, but why do later spongebob designs get so noncartoony and lumpy... hairy, wrinkly, with so much detail? The art-style of these later seasons went from the cartoonish look of Tea at the Treedome's wrinkly spongebob, to randomly overdetailed characters like Puffy Fluffy, the shopkeeper of that same episode, Spongebob when he's tired, Flying Dutchman, the Flying Dutchman's scares, the Trenchbellies, I could go on. Their designs are so ugly. In my eyes, it was apart of the issue that Spongebob faced in its middle seasons.

I actually really liked the Gary in Love episode. My only problem with it is Gary getting his heart broken in the end for some Elvis looking snail. I don’t get why the gang snail can talk, let alone tear apart a shop like they’re fish, but whatever. I felt sorry for Gary in the end. But the splinter episode I straight up refuse to watch and almost threw up the first time. A Pal For Gary is definitely one of the worst episodes because it shows SpongeBob being an awful and neglectful owner, when he’s probably the best in the entire show. I think of the worst ones is when Pearl gets a job at an old lady’s store and her friends make fun of her and her new friend.

not that im defending these episodes nor am i saying all the negative reception was unfounded, but i also genuinely wonder how many of these ratings came en masse from fans of mr enter after he reviewed some of these episodes

[@mallow2902]

I had no idea this was even a thing until I watched Magic Mush's recent video where he brings up Mr. Enter. Good lord, there are some truly humorless idiots out there. Don't they even know what slapstick is? Patrick isn't "gaslighting" SpongeBob, he's just dopey. Squidward getting constantly annoyed by everyone around him, especially SpongeBob and Patrick, is funny because the authors assume that the audience isn't as uptight as he is or take everything as seriously as he does, but I guess they were wrong. It's kind of bizarre to me that people are like this.

[@bestusernamevercreated]

Basically all of them come from enter bots, young children, and morons who take the episodes FAR too seriously. Hell, most of these scalding reviews of these episodes originate from enter's (as well as PIEGUYRULZ) reviews of them 12-14 years ago. It explains why most episodes of season 10-11 were praised (despite having the same issues as the now most hated episodes in the series) when Hillenburg returned, and the reception started to switch back to negative after he sadly passed on and was no longer involved, even though the episodes were still equally as crazy and weirdly animated as 10-11. Long story short, people can't form their own opinions on media.

[@zaqareemalcolm]

​@@mallow2902 yeah, like personally I can generally agree with other old fans about writing quality, but he kinda lost the plot with very questionable stuff like him characterizing new season patrick as actively malicious or singling out specific crew even though these shows are almost always a collaborative effort considering when he made the bulk of those old reviews and the way he interprets media, it was also oddly prescient of that very infamous complaint in his turning red video lol

[@BlackMantisRed]

The reason people dislike some of these episodes is because they seem needlessly cruel, we don’t want to see the characters become cruel sociopaths or cruel and stupid like in Patrick’s case.

I've always thought that in the episode "One Coarse Meal" with Plankton lying down in the road people were looking too far into it; I don't think the writers intended for Plankton to look like he's trying to commit suicide by getting a car to run over him. The writers probably just needed him outside of the Chum Bucket so SpongeBob could find him and tell him Mr. Krab's secret fear. As for Mr. Krab's borderline sociopathic behavior during the episode, I think it completely fits his character. Overall, I really don't think the episode is that bad.
