Same! Or better yet when the individual is trying to do good but is accused of starting trouble (like the Tom & Jerry episode Tot Watchers where Tom and Jerry keep a baby from getting into trouble due to the babysitter being a very neglectful teen [seriously, she spends most of the episode talking to her friend on the phone instead of doing her job], and she actually smacks Tom for "bothering" the baby).

Pausing real quick to explain Patrick in the valentine's episode. It's not just that he thought he got a handshake, it's that he got a handshake from his best friend while everyone else got something much more special and meaningful. It's not that Patrick's materialistic, it's that Patrick thinks Spongebob doesn't care about him, hence his whole meltdown at the end. Patrick yells "Patrick needs love too!" because that's how he felt throughout the entire day, that he wasn't loved by someone he cares about, by someone who loves just about everybody in town. Hopefully that clears things up a bit, Strider.

Hard disagree. Squidward is a great character but you've got him wrong. He is definitely NOT secretly fond of Spongebob and Patrick, he's just a good character because although he is really grouchy, he has a genuine passion for music and he still has the capacity for empathy like a normal person which is how he feels bad for Spongebob in the Dying for Pie and Pizza Delivery episodes, which motivates him to do the right thing. Squidward is the perfect antithesis to Spongebob and their dynamic is one of the best parts of the show.

For me, Snowball effect doesn’t have to be too complicated. It’s just plain funny, and that’s what matters to me.

Personally, what I like about Jellyfish Jam is the simple lesson on not adopting random animals you don’t know, It’s a great lesson because Kids generally want to have stuff like birds and (sometimes) reptiles as a pet. This is a great way to convey that sometimes, it’s better to understand an animal before randomly adopting it. But I completely understand your ranking 😊💙

I personally don’t mind Jellyfishing or Jellyfish Jam but I can also see why some wouldn’t like these episodes because in Jellyfish Jam, it feels empty aside from a couple of jokes and the “thing that would not leave” trope can be a bit repetitive to some people. As for Jellyfishing, while I do like it, it’s one of my least favorite episodes of Season One and don’t get me wrong because I do like Patrick but there are some times where his stupidity, obnoxiousness and selfishness really hurts certain episodes (Especially in the modern era of SpongeBob.) and torture jokes aren’t really funny to some people such as Strider who don’t like seeing people in pain yet I personally think it’s very unfair to disabled people because it’s like saying it’s okay to hurt people which is not. I am sure someone else has said it before but overrated doesn’t mean it’s bad but moreso a likable thing that shouldn’t be in the first place. Don’t get me wrong because I personally love these episodes as much as the next SpongeBob fanatic but some of the ratings are way too high for my liking, c’mon. 🥶😮

Them not having to do anything is actually genius. SpongeBob doesn't follow a strict canon. So they always start over from the same beginning no matter what. They really don't have to do anything to get out of the kelp forest since they'll be a home by the next episode anyway.

When it comes to the Snowball episode, they left behind Squidward because he was taking it too seriously and even chucked his Clarinet at Patrick, almost like a rock!

As a kid I found Opposite Day hilarious because of the "I'm Squidward" bit and the ending and I thought the Magic Conch episode was an example of the Squidward suffering episode done right since they played it for absurdity. The Snowball Effect I found to be entertaining for how it reversed the usual formula- this time Squidward becomes completely in on the tomfoolery and SpongeBob and Patrick have to flee. I definitely agree that the Lost Episode was not nearly as good as the live action segments, and the Don't Touch joke in the Fanatic was the only memorable one for me

Most of these episodes I totally can see your point, Strider, especially that pick for #1. While I laughed at some of the gags in Jellyfishing when I was younger, I still got this uneasiness from the "Firmly Grasp it" scene. Just poor Squidward legit did nothing wrong that episode and just wanted peace. It's really a shame that Jellyfishing ended up as one of the earliest examples of "Squidward Torture Episodes". It could've been funnier if Squidward wasn't physically disabled.

How is it an earliest example when it always existed? Kinda shows that the show didn't change like everyone said.

I feel like a good reason why both Club SpongeBob and Jellyfishing are liked is because in the former, Squidward kept disobeying SpongeBob and Patrick to not go into the club (due to how small the box is). Given Squidward's belief of reverse psychology. He disobeyed and that's what got him stuck there. Plus, he tried to escape and it clipped off all the way to the Kelp Forest. Also, it wasn't about them mindlessly listening to a conch, because given that SpongeBob is a show on an episodic basis, they didn't have to do anything because it's all reset by then. Plus, Squidward did try to act like he's better than both of them (especially with him shaking his rear at SpongeBob). and In Jellyfishing's case, Squidward instead of just simply declining it, he decides to be arrogant about it and laugh at their expense, that and he slapped a Jellyfish in this episode by calling it stupid, and given that they're this show's equivalent to bees, it made that jellyfish mad for being physically and verbally attacked. Though, 1 problem I do have is why are SpongeBob and Patrick wanting to hunt Jellyfish. It's the first episode and their portrayed like vicious animals that just attack just because they want to. Whereas in later episode, they have shown to be the show's equivalent to butterflies but only bees when necessary. It's also fascinating to see how much your thoughts on episodes like Opposite Day and Hello Bikini Bottom have changed since you last talked about them. and to be fair to Valentines Day. I do get Patrick's sentiment. After so much build up and hype, Patrick would've expected a lot more, so with something that really anyone would've done. You could take his frustration as disappointment. Plus, he was about to give SpongeBob the benefit here until everyone in Bikini Bottom just rubs their gifts by thanking SpongeBob, and being constantly disrupted, which did break Patrick's patience. Though, yeah, he went way too far with what he did. Also, Kevin did come back in the later seasons. Other than that, Nice List all around. I'm glad to see you have opinions that don't always align with the majority of fans and aren't afraid to say them without talking down to them or being overly mean for having a hot take. Keep up the good work, Strider. ;)

My main reason for liking “Jellyfish Jam” is less about the actual writing, and more of the novelty of owning a cel from the episode. It’s the scene where SpongeBob finally catches the jellyfish.

Now, when it comes to Patrick’s character in Valentine’s Day, I remember checking out Mr Enter’s SpongeBob season 4 video yesterday, and one thing I noticed is that the SpongeBob audience that were hyped up about the Best Day Ever marathon actually felt like how Patrick felt in Valentine’s Day, a little let down and not what was to be expected. I can possibly see Patrick just getting disappointed that SpongeBob overhyped the handshake (since the actual gift he made for him was late) , basically, the kind of reaction the audience got with the Best Day Ever marathon, and ESPECIALLY with the Truth or Square premiere. But in the end, I can see where you’re coming from with this, Strider.

*It's like a rush of nostalgia* STORY TIME: When I was working at a coffee place known as Starbucks. I thought it would be great to express how much I enjoy Spongebob Squarepants.

I think fundamentally what happens is people remember good bits of these episodes (most of these have great lines and moments), and don't judge the writing as a whole. Random trivia note: The reason Spongebob can't develop muscles in his arms is because muscles are formed by damaged tissue scarring and healing, however whenever his limbs are damaged they get removed and regrown. Small touches are pretty good.

I've met someone who has the characteristics of Spongebob in my highschool. He was often goofy and even had the teeth like Spongebob. I shouldn't judge a person, I know. But weirdly enough, many girls liked him. He was bullied by some people as they called him "Timmy Turner" but we did have a strong friendship together. He even went on to embrace it instead of fighting against it. He went on stage wearing Spongebob's clothes and then started to sing to us in his poorly made version of Spongebob's voice. While I know he did sound awful. I have to give him credit- he did it all to stand against bullying and to show that he loves himself. He inspired me and my most favorite memory is when he kissed me during a time when I was at my lowest. It happened quickly and then he went off to Bootcamp. I haven't seen him since highschool but from what I've heard from friends. He still embraces his spongebob-ness and reminds everyone to stay hydrated.

Fun fact, Stephen Hillenburgs only cameo in spongebob history is him handing Patchy the tape in "the sponge who could fly."

I'm not gonna lie, I honestly have fond memories with a majority of these episodes. Mainly the early season stuff.

The trope of 'The Thing That Wouldn't Leave' is a reference to an SNL skit that is a fake trailer that had John Belushi as a house-guest that doesn't leave.

Probably, because I don't remember such episode from the earlier seasons. Sounds like a typical later season episode too.

I'm in agreement that Spongebob was different during the earlier seasons.

The most interesting opinions are the most unexpected ones. Even though I don't agree with some of these, I respect your opinions and still think this video is brilliant.

I think you mightve missed the point of the Club SpongeBob episode. Wilderness survival lesson #1: Stay put.

I often enjoy how much this cartoon changed me. I enjoy roleplay night with my husband. He be Squidward and I be Mrs Puff. We have fun especially on nights ;)

Excuse me?

I'm not even a big Spongebob-fan but the final frame of Band Geeks which is just Squidward overjoyed that something in his life finally went right, still makes me cry. I honestly think this episode could have been a great finale for the entire show. What could be a better send off than Spongebob literally assembling a band of all the characters that fans have come to love and finally make Squidward happy.

I always loved the snowball effect, as I’m someone who finds repetitive jokes way too funny. The scene where the stray snowballs kept landing in squidwards fireplace always gets me. I totally see what you mean when you say it’s weird for SB and Patrick to just ditch Squidward when he finally decides to play one of their games with them, but personally I guess I always saw it as a mildly humorous and intentionally anti-climactic subversion? Like, maybe sometimes it’s best Squidward doesn’t join their games because he’s just too competitive or something. Also, great video! I love seeing the SpongeBob videos more, though of course I always support you making videos about whatever you want

The reason I like The Snowball Effect is that it feels kinda similar to the Looney Toons cartoon "Duck Rabbit Duck." With Squidward playing the role of a disgruntled Daffy Duck who wants Spongebob and Patrick to fight the same way Daffy wants Elmer to hunt Bugs instead of him. Even with that said, it also has some pretty good slapstick with the snowballs and the running gag of the snowballs hitting Squidwards warm fireplace gets a laugh out of me. Though I can understand if it isn't your cup of tea, Strider.

My takeaway from this: People hate the new seasons too much even when the "golden era" had flawed episodes Edit: first off, love how people actually agreed instead of bashing me (I respect if you disagree) second, season 4 is just as good as the "golden era" and should be considered part of it, my two favorite episodes of season 4 are Dunces and Dragons and Skill Crane

It really is a good example of those rare times where squid actually the pain onto himself by not thinking about who he's dealing with.

While I understand that many enjoy the later seasons. Let's just appreciate the hidden gems, okay?

The snowball effect is a very nostalgic episode for me. but yes, I agree on the ending. I PERSONALLY would have just prefered if it ended on the guys just having a snowball fight, simple and heartwarming.

When PhantomStrider uploads a new SpongeBob video, you know it's going to be a great time!

Most of the community doesn't like the sponge who could fly it's far from overrated

The issue with Jellyfish Jam, is what you described. It's too simple. But I think that's the point. It's supposed to show how a simple premise can be so outlandish while still being so simple at the same time

I don’t think you were very fair to Opposite Day, SpongeBob and Patrick had no bad intentions towards Squidward at all, they were just pretending to be Squidward for Opposite Day.

I feel Musclebob Buffpants would've been better written if Spongebob actually WAS able to all the acts he couldn't do in the episode in ways that didn't involve his muscles, while still thinking the muscles are what made him able to do all these things. Then after it's revealed they were fake and didn't work, he realizes that muscle strangth isn't everything and it's not the only thing needed to do tough things. It would've been a good message.

To me personally, the snowball effect episode is one of the earlier episodes I love during the holiday. You dont see Bikini Bottom in a snowy setting, atleast not in earlier seasons. I find the idea of having such an intense snowball fight kind of cool! You reenact a pretend war between friends? Sure, Squid gets overly carried away- though very creative in what i imagine was a tunnel down bunker of a fort. I always saw plan b as their way of retreating- wars over pal, lets go inside and warm up. Have some hot chocolate and relax. I never thought they purposefully left Squiddy out to freeze, he just seemed so caught up in his own head that he didnt think to check past his own area of defence.

26:32 "The Camping Episode" is the episode that, I found "squidward torture" tolerable and funny Squidward gets attack by a Seabear was actually quite hilarious

Here are my thoughts on these episodes: (0:50) #10 Jellyfish Jam Simply put, I love this episode because of the catchy song Stadium Rave and a lot of good jokes. I particularly love the part where SpongeBob decides enough is enough and tries to kick out the jellyfish. I do feel bad for Squidward a little bit but frankly, when SpongeBob asked him to play his clarinet a little “Better”, he instead made it worse by playing lounder and got stung by 1,000 Jellyfish. Overall, a fun episode for me, but I understand why you don’t like it, Strider. (3:03) #9 The Sponge Could The Fly (Lost Episode) I find it enjoyable mainly for the patchy segments and the really good songs. I honestly felt the hype the first time I watched, I even had the same reaction as Patchy when the episode ended. I was like, “That’s it? That’s ‘The Lost Episode’? That really didn’t feel like a special episode.” Also, I do agree with you that my favorite moment is when Patchy loses all hope. While I don’t think this is the worst special SpongeBob has ever done, it is one of my least favorite specials. (5:47) #8 Valentine's Day I have never been a fan of this episode. I do like what SpongeBob was trying to do for Patrick, and I did love Sandy in this episode. But Patrick wasn’t really likable to me. (8:23) #7 Club SpongeBob The first part of this episode was funny. I literally thought SpongeBob and Patrick were being jerks to Squidward at first, but when I realized that they meant he literally couldn’t fit in the Clubhouse, I started laughing my head off. But other than the meme this episode created and Squidward’s line at 10:43, the rest of the episode is pretty boring. Not my favorite Season 3 episode. (10:51) #6 Opposite Day! Okay, this episode is pretty funny to me. The whole idea is ridiculous, and I love how far SpongeBob and Patrick take the whole "Holiday” in this episode. Such as destroying SpongeBob’s house when he asked Patrick if he wanted to do “work” on the house with him. Plus, Gary barking like a dog was funny. Good holiday spirit, Gary. I will admit there is some Squidward Torture in this one, but I'm happy to let this one slide because, one the episode is still funny, and two this one of the rare Torture episodes where Squidward wins in the end, since he went after SpongeBob and Patrick with a bulldozer. Overall, a funny episode with a hilarious ending. (13:34) #5 The Snowball Effect This episode is pretty relatable to me. I remember when I was younger, my friends and I would get into Snowball fights whenever school was canceled for the day, and we had a lot of fun then. Personally, I think this has several good moments, such as Squidward trying to convince SpongeBob and Patrick to continue snowball fighting each other, and the part where SpongeBob turns into a Snowball Machine Gun was funny. As far as the ending goes, I understand why you don’t like it, Strider, and I do agree with you. But I would honestly say this is a Classic SpongeBob episode for me, I just wish they changed the ending. (15:47) #4 Musclebob Buffpants The opening scene where Sandy is training SpongeBob was pretty funny. My personal favorite parts are the Arm Cruncher and SpongeBob’s line, “This workout thing isn’t working out.” Also, I did love a lot of the visual jokes, such as the shadow of the anchor. Overall, I would say this is a decent episode, not bad, not amazing, but a pretty good classic episode. (18:16) #3 I’m your BIGGEST Fanatic So I really don’t like this one. In fact, this is my personal pick for my least favorite Season 2 episode, even beating "I’m with stupid." At first, I found it quite relatable with SpongeBob meeting a guy he is a big fan of. Also, I can relate to SpongeBob wanting to join the Jellyspotters. But the way Kevin was to SpongeBob in this episode really bugs me. The few good things I found in this episode were Kevin getting what he deserved, both in the middle and the end, as well as the “don’t touch” joke with Patrick at the beginning, and the good moral at the heart of this episode. But overall, this is easily my least favorite Season 2 episode. (20:45) #2 Hello Bikini Bottom! Personally, I found this episode to be an improvement over "Atlantis SquarePantis". Firstly, I really liked Squidward chasing his dreams, and the whole concept of this episode was pretty good. There is some filler, but it’s not as bad as "Atlantis SquarePantis" or even "SpongeBob You’re Fired". My favorite parts are the ending and the Never Give Up song with SpongeBob and Squidward, easily one of the best songs in the whole show. So overall, I found this special to be pretty fun with some amazing songs. (24:43) #1 Jellyfishing I would definitely agree with you, Strider, that this is the most overrated SpongeBob episode ever. I honestly feel really bad for Squidward in this episode. So much that I would say this is my least favorite Season 1 Episode just behind “I was a Teenage Gary”, and considering Season 1 has a lot of amazing episodes that’s saying a lot. I cut the crew some slack as this was only the 6th episode of the whole show, but I just felt really bad for Squidward here. The only good thing I found in this episode is when Squidward unleashes the jellyfish at SpongeBob and Patrick in order to get back at them for what he went through in the entire episode, that, along with Patrick’s line, “Yep, he’s still mad.” was pretty funny to me. But overall, this is easily, in my opinion, the most overrated SpongeBob episode.

At least for I'm your Biggest Fanatic, Kevin got his comuppance. I also agree that it had a good message about not meeting your idols, and the dangers of hero worship.(A message that given the past few years of entertainment discourse is to go by; is surprisingly relevant.)

I like the Snowball effect episode, somehow Squidward’s fireplace couldn’t stay

Now all we need is the most underrated episodes.

I have a friend who works at Wendys, and their craziest work story involves the stadium rave from Jellyfish Jam. There were no customers, so as a joke, she decided to put this on the radio. However, it accidentally got on loop, and since customers started showing up again, they were stuck listening to that for multiple hours. 😂

My friend visisted there and told me that it's not as beautiful as the instagram makes it out to be. I'll have to check it out myself someday but for now... I agree too

There was a moment in highschool where someone knew I liked SB and they told me that they hope I'm able to firmly grasp the fact they have feelings for me. It was such a funny moment because they had glued this invitation card to what resembled as jellyfishing net. Long story short- We actually ended up together. While unfortunately, he did passaway due to a lung disease. I will never forget him and my boyfriend and I visit his memorial every year just to tell him that we miss him. He is very supportive and he tells me that he wishes he had met him.

I remember having friends that played a little too rough or got carried away with a game as a kid. I think that’s the reason why SpongeBob and Patrick left Squidward alone to have fun in The Snowball Effect. Perhaps the unfortunate truth is that even when Squidward tries to have fun with a game, he takes it too seriously. That time, it was too much for his neighbours and they wanted a warm and cozy break, so I actually found the ending to be ironically funny.

It's obvious why the people love "Jellyfish Jam" it's the "Stadium Rave 'A'" music, it's rhythmic

I don't know who decided or what determined Squidwards suffering, but seeing this has been a thing even since season 1 feels more sad to me then it really should. As if this was the plan from the start despite him being a fully developed character and a main character in his own right. WE NEED JUSTICE FOR SQUIDWARD!

For me Snowball Effect and Opposite Day are up there with some of the best of those seasons

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! How old are you

Jellyfish jam had some pretty impressive animation for the time.

"Snowball Effect" in my opinion is a good episode. I don't think the episode doesn't have "creativity" It just funny have, funny gags and "jokes"

I think the point that “Does every Season 1-3 episode get an automatic 8-10 rating?” is pretty accurate. Personally, I think it’s not just that people want an easier categorization, or even simple elitism; this may just be me, but I can see people _wanting_ to think that’s true. Like, of course a majority of classic SpongeBob is awesome, but it’s a relatively short era compared to the rest of the show(5 years compared to the 20+ it’s been on; that’s only 1/4, and as the show goes on, even smaller!). And considering how long it’s been, and the changing culture around the development, it can be tough to let go of one of the episodes as a flop, since there’s only so many to love so dearly in the first place. Of course, this can go in reverse logic when it comes to good Season 6-8/current/spin-off episodes too, though not as emotionally weighted down by the relative scarcity. Relative calculations are a crazy thing. You’d think ~100 episodes would be good enough, but considering so many usually-worse ones came after, it feels like the seasons are in measly 13s. I’m a fan of Problem Solverz(yes I am being 100% serious with that statement, my profile picture’s even from *my own* fan art of it) and that show only has ~30 episodes, but I’m fine with it, because I can just make fanworks of it whenever I want and people will consider it the best of the series, since people never really liked the original to begin with and mine is considered the “bad show turned good” version. Not many SpongeBob fans have that much relative stranglehold to reboot the classic era’s standards. I’m sure some have, but that’s a whole lot of people to impress(as well as the pressure of copyright takedowns if it’s _too_ popular, of course). TL;DR: I’m not saying the “every classic episode is good” mentality is nostalgia blindness, but I can see why people want to think that it’s true just so they can get more out of the classic era itself. Confusing to put into words, I know.

I definitely agree with The Sponge Who Could Fly. It's mean spirited, and it reminds me of the kids who used to bully me at school. I also agree with Valentine's Day, as Patrick was AWFUL there. But aside from the few flop episodes, I still adore Spongebob. Funny thing is, Spongebob also kind of led me to another special interest of mine: mascots. Whether it be fast food, theme park, drink, or toy, I just adore mascots. Strider, I think you should one day make a list on the Top Ten Obscure Mascots. There's so many mascots out there that it could make an interesting list. I have a few REALLY obscure ones that would fit though: the 1970s incarnation of Jack and The Jack In The Box Bunch [Jack In The Box Restaurants, only 3 ads are on KZread: Baseball, In The Park, and Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970], Matty Mattel and Sister Belle [Mattel Toys, interestingly they even hosted a show called Matty's Funday Funnies], Hasbro [Hasbro Toys 50s and 60s, interesting fact, voiced by Mae Questel who also did Olive Oyl from Popeye and Betty Boop], and Gilbert Giddyup and Speedy Mcgreedy [Hardee's 1970s]. Also, Cool Spot from 7-Up. His voice even sounds a bit like Boo's voice!

I have to say a lot of these episodes I do love and wish that Phantom Strider loved. Yet he was so good at explaining how he felt about them that it became very understandable to why they were overrated to him. By the way, I feel like Squidward deserves all of the credit in the Pizza Delivery episode for sticking up for SpongeBob because it shows that he understands him the most and knows how much SpongeBob longingly wanted the customer to love the pizza. But, man, I loved the number one pick of this! Oh my gosh! It’s hard for me to hate anything so I do have love for that jellyfishing episode but I always felt bad for Squidward in that episode and always felt extremely uncomfortable. I was six when SpongeBob first came out and unlike everybody I didn’t like the SpongeBob SquarePants show at all. There were episodes that creeped me out like that Jellyfishing episode, the episode where SpongeBob cheats on his boating test (I hated seeing that antenna from the walkie talkie sticking out of his head and knowing that it was inside of him, the episode where Squidward doesn’t take care of Gary and the medicine turns him and SpongeBob into snails, and Plankton’s actual debut episode where he actually controls SpongeBob’s brain. I didn’t become a fan of the show till I was eight thanks to my best friend, Jill, for getting me into it. Lol So yeah that Jellyfishing episode deserves that number one spot.😉

Just want to mention that this marks the 30th SpongeBob top 10 list you've made! Great job, always love watching these!

Wow, I was going on a marathon of your videos and you post a new one half way through!! I love it :D

I like the snowball fight episode because it reminds me of childhood times when us boys would all play it like it was a serious battle, and this episode encapsulates the spirit of it perfectly. Same with the sand castles episode.
