The Episode That Ruined SpongeBob

Does anyone remember SpongeBob SquarePants (1999-2024)? Of course you do... But does anyone remember its lowest rated episodes ever? This animated comedy series is probably the most popular cartoon of all time. Created by Stephen Hillenburg with recognizable characters such as SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Plankton, Gary, Mr. Krabs, and even... Pearl.
ALSO, I LOVE THIS SHOW. THE OLD ESPIODES ARE MOSTLY WELL MADE AND HIGHLY RATED. THEY'RE FULL OF NOSTALGIA AND GREAT TO VIEW ONLINE. I WATCH SEASON 7 HERE, BUT IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO SEASON 14... WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO ME BOY.

[@TheAustrianAnimations87]

Yes, I fully agree. Patrick's stupidity is completely unfunny here, Mr. Krabs is a greedy jerk who simply kicks SpongeBob out for accidentally causing trouble in the Krusty Krab (at least in "The Splinter" he helped SpongeBob to remove the splinter unlike that episode), but the worst scene is where SpongeBob calls out Patrick's stupidity and then gets unfairly blamed by everyone. I've never seen a more frustating episode than that one.

[@Alex8290]

In my opinion the worst episode is “To Love a Patty”. This episode was absolutely disgusting. Made me want to throw up as a kid and makes me want to throw up now. I just don’t see how having SpongeBob fall in love with a Krabby patty and then eat it rotten is appealing. At all.

The episode that ruined spongebob? More like, ONE of the EPISODES that ruined spongebob

[@indeterminado7216]

One of the worst episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants ever was undoubtedly "Ink Lemonade". In this episode, Patrick opens a lemonade stand, but throughout the episode, Squidward ends up getting scared and involuntarily dropping ink, which the population of Bikini Bottom weirdly enjoys when Patrick sells it to them as part of his lemonade. Patrick starts taking advantage of Squidward's fear, repeatedly scaring him for profit, leaving Squidward paranoid and driven to the brink of madness. Eventually, the customers discover the source of the ink and end up vomiting in Squidward's house for some inexplicable reason. What makes it even worse is the random introduction of Squidward suddenly being able to produce ink. Like, where did that come from? It just doesn't make sense and throws the whole storyline off balance, making the episode even more of a mess.

[@gabbyhaynes5394]

Squidward has been able to produce ink for a while, It's more a matter of it being actually shown off or not. He's mentioned as being able to produce ink as early as s1's "Employee of the Month" and the first time he is seen "inking" on screen was s6's "Giant Squidward" The whole Ink Lemonade plot is still revolting tho.

i always thought the worst one was the episode where squidward bangs his head qnd then acts like a baby...

[@arktya]

one of my least favorite episodes that I don't hear talked about much is season 7's "Stuck in the Wringer" My main problem with it is that Mr. Krabs is treated as justified for yelling at SpongeBob for messing up at the Krusty Krab despite trying his best, while SpongeBob, while even saying some of the same things that Mr. Krabs did, is treated as unjustified in yelling at Patrick over getting him stuck in the wringer in the first place and indirectly causing him numerous injuries. Not to mention that Patrick doesn't apologize in spite of causing his best friend to spiral into depression over his actions.

[@ijustwanttostayupuntillate5869]

Mr Krabs is just so inconsistent in the newer seasons, there are episodes where he is kinda nice and permissive and there are others where he gets mad for the slightest thing

[@D_YellowMadness]

3:12 isn't classic Bob at all. It's anti-Bob. It a big part of his character that he'd put up with almost anything to protect the formula. He even put up a strong resistance against mind control to protect it in season 1 when Plankton had a machine on his brain physically controlling his brain to try to make him drop a patty in an analyzer. That moment alone is like a declaration of hate for the show they took over. It's on the same level as having Beast Boy love tacos. If nearly every post-movie episode of the show weren't already a shark jumper, that would've been the moment they jumped the shark.

[@spongebobmiscellaneous]

THANK YOU! for calling that out. I was thinking the same thing. 🙏 SpongeBob is a generally weak guy but he holds the Krabby Patty and it’s formula in such high regards he would go to great lengths to protect either! So… once again, that awful episode gets something wrong. Stupid frickin episode.

To me, SpongeBob changed after the very first movie. SpongeBob became more annoying, Patrick became more stupid, Mr. Krabs greedier, Squidward more bitter. Is like they took their worse traits and exaggerated them so much that it wasn't even funny anymore.

I think One Coarse Meal would've been better if it consisted of Plankton constantly running into Pearl minding her own business and just being terrified. No ill intent against him. And maybe by the end she tells him she has no intent to hurt him, and his fears are put to rest. Maybe they could become sorta chill with each other, which could lead to some funny moments. Imagine Plankton attacking the Krusty Krab employees during one of his schemes, and Pearl just walks in like "Heyyyyyy, trying to steal the formula again? Yeah, nothing new with me either."

[@tigerlep9]

10:28 during that scene i did enjoy the way spongebob said "enchiladas" lol

[@Connorses]

I think what the writers didn't realize for a while was this: Spongebob and Patrick were never written as oblivious morons... They were written as immature, foolish and ignorant of the world, but not necessarily as idiots. Newer episodes have this baffling trend of making characters seem foolish by simply having them not comprehend what's right in front of them. That said, one idea for an improvement: The monster is devious, and puts the blame on Gary whenever it does something bad, and Spongebob gets mad at Gary. But Spongebob knows Gary very well, and eventually gets suspicious and follows clues to solve the mystery of who really did it.

Nah, then it would have been too cliche.. Many shows have an episode with plot exactly like this.

[@Simon123Pik]

My opinions on these episodes: The Pearl One: I don't think it's that bad. It has a good story, and the mime part is kinda funny. I do feel bad for Plankton tho- The Gary one: I hate this one. And it's not because Puffy is just... Evil. No, I hate it because how Spongebob doesn't seem to care about Gary at all at the end, even tho Gary is litterally DYING. And Instead, he cares about Puffy. And heck, not only Gary didn't need a companion, but Spongebob didn't even listen to the lady that gave him Puffy, even tho she said that Puffy can be dangerous for other pets. This Episode just shows, that Spongebob is a bad and not caring owner, and I hate this episode.

[@syd5099]

I remember watching both episodes as a kid. I honestly was mortified with the second episode and even dreaded it when Nickelodeon would play this episode over and over again.

[@daveywavey8294]

btw when people say old spongebob they mean the first 3 seasons since that was originally the amount of seasons stephen hillenburg the creator of the show planned the series to have ending it with the first movie but ofc spongebob got massive and nickelodeon continued the series without him

I think SpongeBob told plankton krabs fear as a way to say “your not alone” as they both have secret fears. Plankton fears whales and Mr krabs fears mimes

Even funnier is the fact Pearl is a sperm whale, which don’t eat plankton, instead they eat squids…

[@mokatmakes]

I wasn’t too critical of SpongeBob as a kid, I was usually just happy to watch it no matter the episode, but even at that time the episodes Stuck in the Wringer and A Pal For Gary made me angry whenever I watched them. I don’t remember watching One Coarse Meal as a kid but looking at it now (and look, I hate to be the “think of the children! We need to ban these cartoons!” guy, but…) I really don’t think it’s appropriate for SpongeBob’s primary demographic, no matter what us adults think of him, Mr. Krabs is intended to be a “good guy” character, and having a “good guy” in your kids show torture another character to the point of them attempting s**cide seems like a very irresponsible and potentially dangerous message for kids

[@ijustwanttostayupuntillate5869]

Same, since I was a kid I didn't realize that season 6-8 were awful, and I was also the kid that "liked" to watch spongebob no matter the episode, but even I would refuse to watch it if they were airing those episodes

In my opinion the worst episode is “yours, mine and mine”it’s that episode where SpongeBob is forced to share a krabby patty toy with Patrick and why Patrick doesn’t give it back to SpongeBob he throws a fit. They then argue to krabs about it where he states that he made more because they were popular and wants a dollar per toy Patrick steals spongebobs wallet and literally says “haven’t you learn anything about sharing”

[@jakubn3809]

There are moments like this where SpongeBob fans ask themselves: "Why the fuck SpongeBob and Patrick are still friends?" Their relationship is so toxic that it's comparable to Family Guy.

I have a THEORY. The Spongebob from "A pal from Gary," was a different Spongebob behind Spongebob #1 that secretly killed Spongebob #1 with a knife and stuffed him somewhere off-screen. And you ask why this would happen. There was a Spongebob that wasn't casted for the role somehow, and he got jealous of Spongebob #1. So the other Spongebob took Spongebob #1's role for the episode, and it makes sense. The original Spongebob wouldn't act like an utter jerk. And some of you ask, "How is Spongebob #1 alive?" Only two situations can justify that. Situation A: Cartoon Logic, Spongebob #1 magically gets revived in the next episode with plot armor, or Situation B: Plot armor, in the form of the knife going through Spongebob #1's holes and slipping through his back as he got stuffed in the closet, as the new Spongebob didn't pay attention to the situation, meaning from the next episode, the newer Spongebob got arrested and Spongebob #1 gets the spotlight once again.

You and Phantom Strider both fairly point out how hated these are and rightfully so. I remember when I watched "A Pal for Gary" Episode, I was frustrated with how Gary was tortured for NO reason and even when Spongebob is right next to the monster and about to get eaten, He's blind to believe Gary. It's scenarios like these where you're frustrated and shake your fist at the TV going "Just believe him so this can all be over". That was me.

[@alexhogan9351]

For me the episodes that ruined it for me include: - "One Coarse Meal" - "A Pal for Gary" - "The Card" (Spongebob gets a rare Mermaidman & Barnacle Boy card that Patrick intentionally destroys) - "Whobob Whatpants" (Everyone insults Spongebob over petty BS, Spongebob leaves Bikini Bottom and gains insomia) - "Are You Happy Now?" (Spongebob tries to give Squidward a happy memory, only for Squidward to become depressed)

The absolute worst episode for me is Grandma's kisses. I absolutely hate this episode. I don't know what the hell the writers were thinking when they had it where Squidward and the fish in the Krusty Krab bully SpongeBob because his grandma gave him a kiss on the forehead because she loves him to the point where SpongeBob runs out of the Krusty Krab in tears. How they hell is that funny? SpongeBob may be an irritating character at times, but not even he deserved that, and the ending is awful too.

[@Zombie-Hunter]

@@Loner098 Yeah but the bullying didn't help.

@Zombie-Hunter I think the "bullying" in SpongeBob was *far* worse in the Stuck in the Wringer episode, where SpongeBob rightfully called out Patrick for his bullshit, Patrick runs away crying, and yet everyone is on Patrick's side, making SpongeBob look like the bad guy as if he somehow deserved it??? Fuck off! Honestly, when it comes to the bad "classic" SpongeBob episodes, then 'Dumped' is probably the worst for me. In that episode, Patrick is just insufferable because he basically *steals* Gary from SpongeBob, his best friend, mind you, decides to be a scumbag about it, and even calls SpongeBob pathetic. Like, what?! And all of that stupid drama happened because Gary wanted a *cookie* in Patrick's pocket. A *cookie!?* Are you fucking shitting me right now?! Meanwhile, there were barely any good jokes throughout episode as well other than maybe that last line from Patrick at the end of the episode, but I just couldn't *stand* this one.
