Spongebob XVI: Love, Anger, Desperation, and Sorrow

Episode 16a: Valentine's Day

Many people consider Spongebob and Patrick to be toooooootally gay for each other. This sorta episode might feed into those theories. Spongebob is into Valentine's Day and gets Patrick the greatest gift evar: A chocolate hot air balloon in the shape of a heart. BUT, in Estonia Valentine's Day is sõbrapäev which translates to Friend's Day. And that's what they are: really, really good friends.

This is a very emotional episode for Patrick. 
First, we see him having some talent and skill which quickly escalates to confusion and panic as per usual.



Then he gets crazy happy, because of Spongebob's promised epicness.
Spongebob had an elaborate scheme planned out. But it goes slightly array, and in a feat of desperation:



So, Patrick is not amused, but at least I can take some enjoyment in his siriusness.

Then, he rages. And boy, when Patrick rages, he really rages.

Quotables:
"Patrick need love too!"
"I defy you, heart-man!"



And I'll leave you with that epic cliffhanger.
Does Patrick brutally murder everyone else and defile their corpses? Or does some miracle from the sky solve the problem?
Watch the full episode somehow to find out!


Also, Spongebob is apparently a troll.





If I had editing skills, I'd try to put the proper face over his, but I think Sponge's expression is close enough.



Problem?


Good episode.


E16b: The Paper

Similar to the Idiot Box episode which comes in a later season, this episode involves the fact the Spongebob has epic imagination while Squidward lacks said skill. I bring up the other episode, because it has the more well known line that I wanted to mention:




So In this episode it is not a box, but rather a piece of paper. Squidward throws it out and Spongebob wants it. He won't stop pestering Squidward about it, so Squid does the rookie mistake in movies saying "not matter how much I beg or plead or etc, don't give it back, let me out, etc."

Then Spongebob does some epic stuff with the paper. Which is basically the entire episode. So I wont show everything. My two favorite ones are when Squidward tries to disprove the papers awesomeness, but fails miserably:



Too great.

And:



Which reminds me of an older episode where Spongebob is unable to play music with a napkin. I guess he practiced in the meantime.... or maybe regular paper and tissue paper are just too different.


Anyway, Squidward trades all his belongings for the paper, and then realizes what an idiot he is.

The good that comes out of it is, this episode answers the age old question: What would Spongebob look like wearing Squidward's shirt?



And there is your answer.


Great episode. Unfortunate it didn't air as often, as it is paired with the Valentine's Day one, which airs only at...well around Valentine's Day.
