General Synopsis: When Spongebob takes a worm into his house, it has babies and then runs away. So Spongebob has to find the worms a new home

Written by:Richard Pursel, Aaron Springer

SBM Rating: 2.4

Andddd my reviews start at this episode. The worst episode of the worst season (Though not the worst of the series, that'll happen another time) This episode is still horrible though.

So anyway, the episode starts with Spongebob and Patrick playing around in a field as they tend to do a lot in this Season, when they land in a bush with what they think is a ball, but is actually a really grotesque worm (please tell me if I spelled that correctly or not because I have no idea) who they just broke the nest of. They decide to call it Mr Wormsley and take it to Spongebob's house with it. However, Gary doesn't like the worm, and gets mad at both it and Spongebob. So for whatever reason, Spongebob decides that having Mrs Wormsley sleep on Gary's Newspaper instead will help them get along (well, at least he didn't yell at him for being eaten this time I guess...).

When Spongebob wakes up, however, he hears that Mr Wormsley is making a weird sound, and he has Patrick come over to investigate what's happening. Patrick concludes that Mr Wormsley is actually a Mrs Wormsley and that she had just as gross babies. And then Gary really gets mad at Mrs Wormsley and forces her out of the house, leaving Spongebob with the babies and nobody to take care of them. Spongebob decides that they obvisualy can't stay at the pineapple since Gary can't stand them, so he'll have to sell them to somebody else.

So yeah........ the main part of the plot hasn't even started yet and it's already terrible. The design of the worms is really disgusting here for no reason (usually worms are those green designs that aren't gross, but in this epiosode, they're randomly gross, probably to show why nobody likes them), and it's hard to watch. And even outside of that, and the episode is boring, forgettable, has a stupid plot, and is unfunny. So yeah, clearly the episode is really bad, and it doesn't get any better from this point on.

So Spongebob tries to sell these disgusting worms to the rest of bikini bottom, and it goes as good as expected. The first person he tries to sell it to is Squidward, because he's obviously gonna want these worms when's he's never liked pets in the first place, right? Well, not only that, but one of the worm shoots some weird disgusting stuff at him (I don't know what it is, and honestly it might be better that way lol), and it's just as revolting as the design of the worm itself! Obvisualy, squidward doesn't take one. Next, Spongebob tries Mrs. Puff, and while doing so, he holds onto the door bell for a whole minute even though Mrs Puff already opened the door. Yeah....... that was horrible filler that I never want to see again. Literally nothing happens in the whole MINUTE (Yes, it's that long, I checked before) that Spongebob holds it for. Obvisualy filler that was added because the creators didn't know how to make this fit 11 minutes, and really, I don't blame them. Anyway, after that, he keeps trying to sell them to the citizens, but of course nobody wants them considering their disgusting and shooting disgusting stuff at them. And there's no point discussing each time Spongebob tries to sell them, because nothing else really happens until Larry shows up.

And this is easily Larry's worst appearance of the show. First, he says to Spongebob "Do I know you?", and Spongebob replies "Probably not" to him. Wait, what? Spongebob's always known Larry, so changing it this one time is just stupid. What's even worse, however, is Larry's actions after this. Larry actually takes the worms...... because they're protein and Larry wants to eat them. Which is already stupid, but then you consider the fact that these are worms, which are basically undersea equilvents of dogs, which means that Larry is eating puppies. What the heck????? Larry would never do that in any other episode. It's just really stupid. Right before Larry can eat them, Spongebob throws them away from Larry, which causes them to land in the middle of the road that a truck is about to pass through. This then leads to a scene that is supposed to make you worry about these worms being run over, but the problem is that the worms are disgusting and unlikeable, so there's no reason to care anyway. Spongebob ends up going into the truck's engine, disconnecting it, and throwing it away, while causes the truck to stop right before it runs the worms over.

Well, would you look at that, the episode is even more disgusting, flawed, and stupid than before. But I'll make my concluding statement after I finish the plot that I've somehow talked about for 5 paragraphs now...... Why can't I make five paragraphs essays when it's actually important :P

Anyway, Mr Krabs calls Spongebob, and tells him that he is 3 or so hours late for work. Spongebob explains to him that it's because he's trying to sell these worms, but nobody will take them. Mr Krabs is willing to take them at first, until they all shoot that disgusting stuff all over him, and he realize how disgusting they are. So he makes Spongebob throw them away. When the garbage men come, one guy mentions that the weird stuff they kept shooting is actually really valuable, so Mr Krabs takes them back, and sells them. And suddenly, now everyone in Bikini Bottom adores them, even though they hated them at first. So yeah, this episode basically concludes with Mr Krabs randomly winning for no reason at all, and the bikini bottomites suddenly liking the worms now for even less of a reason. So yeah, crappy ending for a crappy episode.

So basically, this episode's biggest flaw is having EXTREMELY gross animation that makes it hard to watch, and is extremely un-Spongebob like, instead being extremely unbearably disgusting. But also, it has literally no humor (is there a single joke in the whole episode????), a boring and stupid plot, a bad ending where the bikini bottomites suddenly change their minds about the worms, a really bad characterization of Larry, tries and fails at making you feel emotion with these worms, has bad filler in it since the plot couldn't fit 11 minutes, and doesn't have a single good thing about it, not even a single good joke (I think this the ONLY episode of the whole series to not have a single good joke in it IMO). Overall, this gets a 0/10. Very terrible episode. Although there's one more episode in the series (Oh man when I get to that episode..........) that's even worse than this.

Also want to note that this is way longer and way more hate filled than most of my reviews will be. There are very few episodes that I outright HATE, and this is one of the episodes that I had the most to talk about. Although I didn't expect a review THIS big. Though that won't usually happen. So don't get used to this. Most of my other reviews will be way more positive than most's are, but considering I started with my least favorite episode in my least favorite season...... Yeah, it was going to be bad no matter what.

Shuffleboarding
Production Code: Season 6, Episode 117A

Original Airdate: Feburary 16, 2009

Main Characters: Spongebob, Patrick,

General Synopsis: When Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are invited to a Shuffleboarding tournament while they are hospitalized, Spongebob and Patrick disguise as them to win the tournament for them. However, they take things too far

Written by: Luke Brookshier, Nate Cash, and Derek Iverson

SBM rating:3.6

So, my second review starts with this episode...... which isn't as bad as Pet or Pests, but is still terrible. It's an extremely annoying and aggravating episode that I actually think is worse than Choir Boys and Boating Buddies.

Anyway, the beginning is honestly probably the best part, which is bad because it's still annoying, though not THAT bad, not like the second half of the episode. It starts in Shady Soauls (I probably misspelled that but whatever) with Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Spongebob and Patrick come to them and scare them awake. Mermaid Man immediataly throws a boomerang, which was originally a weapon that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy used, at them, out of freight. Spongebob is amazed at this and Spongebob and Patrick start playing with it. Barnacle Boy asks them to give the boomerang to them, but they throw it to them instead of handing it over, so it just repeatedly hits Barnacle Boy and then flys back to Spongebob. After a while, they causes a trapdoor loading to the Mermalair to open, which causes them to be hospitalized. Actually at first, despite it appearing that they were injured, they ended up completetly fine, until Spongebob and Patrick landed on them.

Spongebob and Patrick follow them to the hospital. This time, however, they do nothing to annoy them, which is nice considering they're extremely annoying a few minutes later. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy get a phone call and are told that they are invited as special guests to a shuffleboarding tournament. However, they can't attend it, since they're in the hospital. So Spongebob and Patrick offer to disguise as them and win the tournament for them. Surprisingly, this works, considering they're obvisualy not them. The next scene, however, starts the worst part of the episode, which is when it gets terrible. There is, however, one good thing about the acene. It has Patrick state that he is excited to win the tournament and everything, only for Spongebob to remind Patrick that they had already won the tournament, and shows him the trophy as proof. It's a clever trick, as you really think that they hadn't won the tournament yet.

So now at this point, the episode gooes to the second half, which is where it goes from its biggest flaw just being boring and unfunny and that's it, to being full on bad and annoying. This is when they pretend to be the real Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy (and somehow convinces them) and imprison everyone, and it is executed very badly. First off, they just completely ignore what Barnacle Boy said about going right back to the hospital after they finish the tournament. Spongebob and Patrick really like and respect Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, so why would they just ignore them? It doesn't make any sense and was really rude of them. But then, even worse, they put everyone into prison for ridiculous and stupid reasons. I don't think a single real crime was ever shown here, they basically arrested people for stupid and ridiculous stuff, like not finishing a krabby patty, having untied shoes, and being too old. I don't find these funny at all whatsoever, just extremely annoying to the point of being frustrating, it really annoys me and I don't enjoy it at all, I just hate it. They arrest literally everyone in Bikini Bottom for these stupid reasons, in fact, the last people they arrest are arrested for being evil IN THE PAST and the other for being WITH the person who was evil in the past. Again, not funny to me. Just really annoying.

Arresting everyone into the same jail cell, however, causes the jail to literally burst open, finally freeing everyone. They come across the real Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, and, thinking that they were the ones who arrested them for those horrible reasons, try to hurt them (especially Man Ray who now has a shrunken head), and they have to wheel away (they were in a wheelchair). And this also really annoys me, because they didn't do anything wrong. But because of the horrible things Spongebob and Patrick did, they have to be chased by an angry mob who wants to hurt them. And it doesn't help that they were already severely hurt earlier in the episode.

So basically, this episode is terrible mainly because of the horrible second half which is extremely annoying and aggravating to the point of being unbearable to watch, Spongebob and Patrick being horribly characterized and arresting people for terrible and unfunny things and getting no comeuppance for it, A horrible ending where Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy get punished for the wrongdoings of Spongebob and Patrick, a terrible plot, lack of good humor, boring, and almost every character is annoyingly stupid. I liked the joke when the phone rang, and Mermaid Man thinks he picked it up and says "hello?" to it, before realizing that he actually picked up a box of tissues, but that's the only good thing about the episode honestly. One good joke. Although I AM happy that there was no gross-out (at least that I can remember) in it. Even most of the good episodes in this season have some gross-out). But that shouldn't count as a good thing, just something noteworthy that doesn't harm the episode at all. So it's overall terrible with just one good joke as the only good thing. This episode gets a 1/10.

Rank: F- (Terrible)

Worst Character: Spongebob and Patrick

Biggest Flaw: The terribleness of the scenes where Spongebob and Patrick imprison everyone

Smaller version
So this is an episode that I think I hate more than most do. It IS generally considered a bad episode, but not outright terrible, or at least not 2nd worst of the season like I think. In fact, even as a kid, I hated this episode, and I liked tons of bad episodes as a kid. I'm surprised, but glad, that this episode even made it into the twenties in the first place. The reason why I hate this episode is because it's really annoying. The main gag of the episode is Spongebob and Patrick arresting people for stupid reasons, which I don't find funny, but actually just really annoying. The reasons for them being arrested are rather stupid and unfunny, such as being too old, having untied shoes, and in Man Ray's case, really just existing. Speaking of the Man Ray Scene, that one at least gave good action, but it still sucks because Man Ray and the lady he's with are arrested for pretty much no reason. But yeah, Spongebob and Patrick literally arrest everyone in bikini bottom for the stupidist reasons, just because they were pretending to be Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Which speaking of that, this whole plot point leads to two more terrible things about the episode. One is that Barnacle Boy tells Spongebob and Patrick to bring the costumes back to them after the shuffleboarding tournament, and you'd think they'd listen to their heros who they're big fans of, but instead they just ignore what they said and keep the costumes. They didn't even just forget about it, they literally mention it and decide "nah, let's just keep them and stop crime anyway". The second thing is that it leads to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy getting even more unfair treatment. They already get smacked around with that boomerang and then land down to the mermalair really hard and get hospitalized before this, but I could of excused that since Spongebob and Patrick didn't intend for that to happen. And while I know Mermaid Man and Barnacle boy being angrily chased (and possibly hurt afterward) by the bikini bottomites wasn't intended by them either, it's their fault since they did all those terrible arrests earlier and making it seem like they did it. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy did nothing to deserve being angrily chased and potentially harmed by the bikini bottomites, they get the comeuppance Spongebob and Patrick deserved for no reason, whereas Spongebob and Patrick get no punishment for it. So yeah, that's why I hate this episode so much. It's overall very annoying, not very funny, and it gives the comeuppance to the wrong characters.

Cephalopod Lodge

Original Airdate: Feburary 17th, 2009

Main Characters: Squidward, Spongebob, Patrick

General Synopsis: Spongebob and Squidward accidentally get Squidward kicked out of the Cephalopod Lodge

Written by:

SBM rating:

And now, I rate the first Squid Abuse episode in my rankings. Although, spoiler alert: this won't be the worst one :sbgrin: though this is easily one of them. So the episode starts out at the Krusty Krab with Squidward suspiciously being really happy. They then later find a suspicious looking person giving Squidward a package that makes him happy. As a result, Spongebob (and Patrick) decide to spy on Squidward to see what he's doing.

So already, I have a problem with this episode. Why are they spying on him? This is really rude and OOC for them to do, since it's Squidward's private business where he is going, and they should respect him. But no, instead they stalk him for not the only time in this season. Really rude, and I don't like it.

Anyway, they find that Squidward is going to the Cephalopod Lodge, a place where other Squids hang out and wear clothes with Illuminati eyes on them. They start an initation with a new squid, which involves them getting over their biggest fear of an eel, which they have the squid touch and get stung by. This wouldn't be important, if it weren't for something coming later into the episode, however. But anyway, Spongebob and Patrick suddenly cheer with the rest of the squids, which shocks the rest of the squids, espicially Squidward; There had never been a single non-Squid that ever saw the initation (wait, doesn't the eel count?). Squidward comes up to them and demands to know what they are doing there. This causes the rest of the lodge to blame HIM for Spongebob and Patrick being there, rather than those 2 for stalking on Squidward and rudely following him there! They even go as far as ripping his lodge clothes and underwear off. So yeah........ Again, I really don't like this. In fact, I'd say I hate this. Squidward did nothing wrong here! He never asked Spongebob and Patrick to follow him there, in fact, he never even told them the lodge existed! And then because Spongebob and Patrick had to to follow him there, he gets kicked out of, in his words the one thing left he ever enjoyed. This makes me both angry and really sad, because Squidward now feels even more depressed than usual.

So anyway, surprisngly, Spongebob and Patrick try to make it up to Squidward...... key word is try, however. Because they fail miserably. First they try explaining the situation to one of the people at the lodge, saying that it wasn't Squidward's fault, but they refuse to take the blame for it themselves, and blame it on him, so he doesn't help anything. They then make their own club to put Squidward in. They first give him the initation, which is...... painfully stinging Squidward's tongue with a jellyfish. This doesn't help the situation at all, Squidward doesn't care about a club with Spongebob and Patrick, and didn't want them to sting his tongue like that either. Later that morning, Spongebob and Patrick decide to name the club The Feather Buddies (Feather Friends was taken), and give Squidward its uniform, which just makes Squidward sadly. This makes Spongebob truly realize that Squidward wants to be in the Cephalopod Lodge, and tries extra hard to get him back in. This is the turning point of the episode - or, would be, if it weren't for one thing.

Anyway, Spongebob decides to go inside a sock, pretend to be an albino eel and attack the members of the Cephalopod Lodge. This results in the best part of the episode and a funny scene, where this pathetic and obviously fake plan actually works. Squidward then pretends to defeat the albino eel in an even more pathetic attempt, and it actually works! Squidward is actually alllowed back in the cephalopod lodge! This is one of the most satisfying endings ever! Except..... wait..... Spongebob and Patrick just came out of the........... NO!!!!!!! DON'T!!!!!!!! YOU'RE GONNA RUIN IT!!!!!! NO!!!!!! DON'T KICK SQUIDWARD OUT OF THE CEPHALOPOD LODGE AGAIN!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....So yeah, easily one of the worst endings of the show. Squidward never deserved to be kicked out in the first place, it is 100% fair that he be put back in. But yet...... Spongebob and Patrick just had to ruin it again, and the cephalopod lodge memebers just had to kick him out again. Oh, and to conclude the episode, Squidward is put through the jellyfish sting intiuation again.

So yeah........ In conclusion, another terrible episode. This episode has terrible squid abuse, involving Squidward getting kicked out of the club that gives him the last bit of happiness left, for something out of his control, and then getting kicked out at the end again, being stung in the tongue mulitiple times, and being stalked, poor charatization all around except for Squidward, terrible plot with an absymal ending, not very funny outside of the sock gags, and angering to watch. There is one strength I forgot to mention though. The atmosphere. The atmosphere is very good. The scenes in the cephalopod lodge had good atmosphere, it's how you'd expect the cephalopod lodge to be like. Unfortently though, there's still not enough strengths to prevent this episode from getting a 1/10.

Oh, and one other thing I want to mention: This is the last usage of the APM track Whisper to the Past, which is used when Spongebob realizes how much the Cephalopod Lodge means to Squidward. This doesn't effect my rank at all whatsoever though. Just something I wanted to mention, since it's one of my favorite APM tracks, and was used frequently-semifrequently until this episode, when it stopped being used. I'm hoping this come backs at some point, with how many apm tracks coming back at least once in Season 9B-11 it's very well possible.

The Splinter:

Production Code:

Original Airdate:

Main Characters: Spongebob, Squidward, Mr. Krabs

General Synopsis: Spongebob gets a splinter at work, and doesn't want to be sent home.

Written by:

SBM rating: 2.8

Season 6 is a notoriously gross season. The animation took a bad turn in this season, with all the gross animation, and almost every episode felt the need to add a gross-out gag in. And this episode is perhaps the most infamous of all of those gross episodes. While I hate Pet or Pets more, I still hate this episode a lot too.

Also, note that this review is probably going to suck, because I don't remember a bunch of this and all I'm looking at to remember is the spongebob wikia plot description and the transcript on here since there is no way I'm looking through a bunch of photos).

So anyway, it starts at the Krusty Krab, where Spongebob is cooking krabby patties as usual. Squidward gives him an order (which also has the words "PS. Spongebob you're an idiot" on it). While doing this, he accidentally gets his spatula stuck in the ceiling. He stacks a bunch of stuff on top of each other, and while going on top of it, a bunch of tarter sauce and swords (wait, why were there swords in the Krusty Krab? lol, cartoon logic) fall off of the pile and land on the ground. When Spongebob picks up his spatula, the whole pile falls down, leaving him hanging from the Krusty Krab ceiling, holding on to the spatula, right above a bunch of swords. He falls down from the ceiling, but is saved, because the lines on the spatula gets attached to a one of the swords, and it slides him away from the danger, unharmed.

The reason why I make this a whole paragraph is because this is the highlight of the episode, and the only good part. After this, it gets both really gross and really bland, which leaves little to mention. This part, however, is pretty fun to watch actually, and isn't gross at all, and I liked the comment Squidward added on the order note.

Anyway, after that, Spongebob ironically trips due to a bunch of tarter sauce on the ground, causing him to painfully get the notorious splinter stuck in his thumb. After this, he tries to work with it there, but he finds it hard to do this because, of course, it hurts. He tries putting his spatula on his nose, and Squidward questions this. When Squidward finds out about his splinter, he scares Spongebob by telling him that if Mr Krabs finds out, he'll make Spongebob go home for the rest of the day. He even tricks Spongebob into thinking Mr Krabs might already know because he can smell stuff (which goes to a scene where Mr Krabs is smelling the ground, and finds two quarters that he says seem sad, because they weren't going to be paid on refills).

As a result, Spongebob calls Patrick to help get the splinter off of him. Just like Suds, Patrick pretends to be a doctor, but time, it is unfunny, because all he does is grossly put Spongebob's foot in his mouth and suck on it for a minute, and then make the splinter situation way worse. And really, he makes it way worse for not just Spongebob, but for the audience as well, because now it's 3 times ore disgusting. The splinter was already disgusting because of how red and swelled up and painful-looking Spongebob's splinter is, but now that almost looks nice compared to this. The thumb is now extremely enlarged and swelled, is green and purple, even more painful-looking than before, and has gross pus and stuff all over it. I have to look away at this, because it's so disgusting!!! I can't stand looking at it. The grossness of it is unbearable. At this point, Squidward has told Mr Krabs, and Mr Krabs simply takes the splinter out. The scene tricks you into thinking that pus will grossly fly out of the splinter, but instead confetti comes out, which is nice because I don't have to look at really gr- oh, nevermind, it is grossly spurting out pus. Yeah.... I did not need to see that. Or any other gross moments, which is unfortunately the majority of the episode. Then the episode ends with Squidward trying to get his workers compensation and hurts himself, and failing because his shift had already ended. And this doesn't make any sense, because Spongebob's shift clearly hadn't ended or else he wouldn't think about possibly having to pay Spongebob workers compensation.

So yeah........ in conclusion, this is a terrible episode. The biggest flaw is that it is extremely gross, I mean serisualy, that splinter after Patrick tried to help is so disgusting that I can't even look at it, and so much more of the episode is really disgusting too. And almost all of the episode is extremely bland, boring, poorly paced, filled with filler, and Patrick was poorly characterized. And almost the whole episode has really no good strengths to it at all. However, note that for all this, I say "most of the episode", because the first 2 or so minutes with the swords were actually pretty cool. Unfortunately, the rest is atrocious however. This gets a ranking of terrible and F.

And also, I know I didn't say very much, but really, that's because this episode is bland, and there's not much to say about a really bland episode.

General Synopsis: Spongebob has to get new, round pants after his old ones get shrunk. However, it makes him change who he is as well.

Written by:

SBM rating:

And now we get to the last bottom 5 episode of Season 6. This is an episode I find to be underhated, and always hated since the day it premiered. For those who don't know, this episode was advertised as a great special, and of course when I was really young I believed this. And then was disappointed with what was probably the worst episode I had seen at that point. While I don't use advertising as a reason to hate an episode, since that has to do with the advertising rather than the episode itself, I still hate this episode regardless. It's such a frustrating and boring episode.

Ironically though, the episode's beginning is misleading. The main joke about this episode is that they act like something major and very shocking is happening, but really it's just Spongebob changing his pants. And this is the only moment where that worked. It was kinda funny the way they used live action screaming and horrific events to build up to saying that something very significant is happening, only to then say that Spongebob is changing his pants. After this moment, it doesn't work at all, it's unfunny and annoying. But first, there's the beginning that causes the reason why Spongebob gets new pants in the first place.

It starts off in Spongebob's house, where it's laundry day. Along with all his pants, he also puts Gary's shell in the washing machine, which is not only kinda strange, but somehow ends up being disgusting. Rather than the normal design of shell-less Gary, they opted to have Gary look like his skin is a big butt, which they then cover with underwear. It's not remotely funny at all, but just really disgusting and poor animation. After putting everything in the washer, he gets a call from Patrick, who just wants to make an annoying sound to Spongebob for as long as he possibly can. During it, Spongebob asks Gary to put everything in the dryer, which he does, but then since Patrick continues with making that sound for hours, they end up shrinking. So while that reason for why Spongebob needs new pants makes sense, it could have been executed better. Patrick making that sound for hours wasn't very funny, just a random immature joke.

So then Spongebob has to go buy new pants. Unfortunately however, there are no square pants in stock, and there won't be for months. So Spongebob has to try new clothes out, and after a montage of trying and failing to find good pants, he finally finds the roundpants he wears throughout this episode, which look just like his square pants, except that they're round. This is the point where the episode just becomes terrible. It relies on the joke of people acting like Spongebob's different pants make him a while different person, and it ends up just being really frustrating and unfunny.

First he sees Patrick, who comments on his new pants near him. But Patrick literally doesn't even recognize him. Which is completely ridiculous, considering Spongebob is his best friend, and he looks very similar, just slightly different pants. It's really annoying seeing him really think that he is not Spongebob. And Sandy isn't any better either. While she at least knows that he's still Spongebob, she still acts like it's not Spongebob, and Spongebob believes it. Squidward then does the same thing, pretending he doesn't recognize Spongebob. All of these scenario's are very annoying and unfunny. It's really rude or stupid of these characters to act like this, and they all frustrate me, leading to a very unpleasant experience. It gets even worse when Patrick refuses to let Spongebob into his own house because he's "not Spongebob". First off, Patrick is there himself and he isn't Spongebob, but then second of all, it IS very obviously Spongebob, which makes things even more annoying. Spongebob is kicked out of his own house because he changed his pants and Patrick somehow doesn't recognize him, which is ridiculous.

After this, Spongebob decides that if people will treat him like a different person, then he will restart his whole life and personality and be a completly new person.... And this ends up being just as annoying as the way the other characters are acting like. Spongebob walks into the Krusty Krab and asks if he can have a job there. He then has Squidward tell Spongebob what he should do for his job, and Squidward acts the same way he normally does. As in, sleep on the job, act like a jerk to the customers, and so on, and Spongebob just copies him. Not only is it OOC of Spongebob to act like this, but it is really annoying that Spongebob does all this, over a slight change in his clothes. He only stops when Mr Krabs asks Spongebob why he is acting like this. Spongebob tells Mr Krabs that he can't act the way he normally does because of his round pants, so Mr Krabs gives him the suggestion of taking his pants off. Spongebob does this, but then everyone acts the same way they did before, except they think he's spongebob underpants instead of spongebob roundpants.

So in conclusion, this episode is terrible. The biggest flaw about it is that the episode is annoying. Every character here except Gary and Mr Krabs is extremely annoying and frustrating. Patrick can't even recognize his own best friend because he changed his pants, and Sandy and Squidward jerkishly make Spongebob think they don't recognize them either. And then Spongebob is no better, because he becomes annoying himself by acting like they are right and copying what Squidward does. The episode is also very boring and bland, and unfunny outside of the very beginning, and there were some things with the animation I didn't like either (such as shelless Gary's apperance). Overall, I give this episode a 1/10.

Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful
So here's yet another bad squid abuse episode. It feels like there's so many of these, and yet there's still many more of them coming (at least 6 from what I remember). This episode isn't even in my bottom 5 squid abuse episodes, and yet it's still terrible. The whole episodes is about Squidward having to do community service when he didn't even do anything wrong. I mean literally, his first "crime" to get the community service was for throwing gum that was littered by someone else, accidently stepping on it, getting literally trapped in the gum, and outting it back into the ground. There weren't even trash cans around, so he couldn't throw it away without keeping it for a while, and considering he nearly got trapped in it, he had reasons to want to get it away from him. Most of the rest of the episode's humor basically involves Squidward constantly getting ticketed for littering when he wasn't even the one who littered, and it was in reality someone else literring or something acicdently being dropped to the ground near him. I mean come on, at one moment the police's literring ticket he gave Squidward (due to trash falling off of Spongebob btw) falls iff and lands on the ground, and the police comes back and tickets Squidward for it. What the heck??? Squidward did nothing to deserve these constant tickets, and he gets ticketed for stupid and unfunny reasons. It's one of the worst running gags in the series (though not THE worst....... but I'll get to that later in the list). And it's not like he's just getting abused through this one gag, he also goes theough other experiences like being beaten to a pulp and having his house replaced with a trash house..... sepaking of that trash house, the scene it's in is really gross. Seeing Squidward do so much stuff with this trash, including taking a shower of trash, is really gross and not at all entertaining. A lot of the trash stuff in this episode is gross at times. And outside of squid abuse and grossness, the episode is boring and has a stupid plot, and virtually no humor throughout the rest of the episode. So yeah, that's why Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful sucks.
