Spongebob! IX: Squidwards do some drama.

Episode 09a: Nature Pants

Spongebob has his hippie phase, escaping his industrial life to go live in nature amongst jellyfish.

This doesn't result in too many jokes per say, but it does result in one of my favorite parts in Spongebob: when they purposely overdo the melodrama. Pretending to be serious never actually is. The drama from this episode mainly comes from Patrick not wanting his best friend to leave. So here is a compilation to show off the other side of Spongebob, where it isn't all fun and games.

Unforntunatly not that great of an episode. It seems that the 1st season, though it has some great, classic moments, overall isn't that fantastic. The 2nd and 3rd season kick it's ass.

What did you say!?

But the 1st season is still fantastic! Don't hurt me!...

Episode 09b: Opposite Day


Squidward has finally had it and wants to move. How he has managed this long is amazing. BUT it is tough to sell a house with crazy neighbors like S & P. He comes up with a pretty clever plan to make them quite and out of the way when the Realtor shows up. He claims that it is opposite day. Spongebob and Patrick have a lot of fun with it.

But then Squid unknowingly messes up. And Spongebob comes to the realization that...

And they of course mess up Squids plans to move.


A good episode.

Spongebob! VIII: Aliens wear Boots

Episode 08a: Sandy's Rocket

So it finally turns out that Sandy is a scientist. Kinda makes sense since she is a squirrel who lives underwater. And to prove she is smart:

So there you go. The definition of science!*

*Not to discredit her, but I believe the notation is a bit off. Might need to check her work.

Oh, and she has a rocket to go to the moon where she has been before. And at the end of the episode it turns out she has an outer space capable jet pack. Hi-tech stuff!

Everything is going well, Sandy plans to collect some data on moon rocks and Spongebob whined and bugged her until she decided to let him come along. And then someone comes along. Who else but Patrick?

They end up accidentally launching the ship and think they end up on the moon, but actually the go around the moon and end up back in Bikini Bottom. Spongebob can explain this: the aliens have projected their [Spongebob and Patrick] memories on to the environment to confuse them. Or more simply:

I won't spoil the finale, but it is a great episode you should check out.

Episode 08b: Squeaky Boots

A Mr. Krabs focused episode, the first one of a few. He messes up on his daughter Pearl's birthday. Oh ya, this episode first introduces Mr. Krabs' daughter, a teenage whale. To my knowledge there is no explanation as to why she is a whale, but lets leave it at that.

So Mr. Krabs buys the cheapest shoes he could find for his daughter, a pair of black squeaky fisherman boots. I don't know why underwater creatures would have fishing boots. In one episode Sandy mentions fishing and everybody else is disgusted, however fishing gets mentioned by the other characters a few times throughout the seasons. Anyway, Pearl doesn't want them, so he tricks into Spongebob wanting them. 

And Spongebob really loves them and is able to do some cool shit in those shoes.

Mr. Krabs conscience starts messing with him so he hears the squeaking at home. He steals the boots which only makes matters worse.

Yes, Spongebob went all 19th century on its audience. The main demographic probably wouldn't get the "Tell-Tale Heart," but looking back on this episode I greatly appreciate it.

Not a very good episode other than that one scene though.

Spongebob! VII: Chaos and more chaos

Episode 07a: Hall Monitor

Spongebob is chosen as hall monitor of the day by default at boating school. And he is soooo excited:

But by that time, the school day is over, so he goes and causes destruction about town. And becomes the terror of the city, the maniac. He recruits Patrick to help catch the maniac, ironically not knowing it's him.

Great episode (which is not apparent by the few clips I have made).


Episode 07b: Jellyfish Jam

Uhhhh, he gets a pet jellyfish, and apparently they are literally party animals. Techno music FTW! And so to get rid of them, he uses the power of music.

Not a very good episode. *GASP* Yes, it is true that not all Spongebob episodes are fantastic.
