And then there's also the whole discussion of the difference between gender and biological sex, which I'm not even gonna get into.

This year I had some Brainstorming on this sort of idea. For the sake of this reply I remain it short and barebones, but I feel I may still get to be called cringe for making this. (Which is strange cause those same people also say stuff related giving justice for Squidward, but when I make a story like this I get bashing. Anyway onto the actual story) Basically it would focus on him and another character, in this case I placed my character Eliza (a Little Egret) for that role. In it the two clearly have their differences in personality (Squidward is more grouchy, aggravated, and so on. Whilst Eliza is more soft but overall open for others when needed) once both of them engage in a conversation, they realize that they share simillar problems and interests (like dealing with crazy people on a daily basis, and getting under appreciated in their art) Because of this, she encourages him to perform somewhere so he can prove what he's trully capable of. In the meantime he also let's her to practice her talents, which also encourages her to feel a little more confident in herself after a long time thanks to him. The story receives a happy ending for both of them of course, simillar that of band geeks with a song performance. Like I said this is imperfect and still need to improve on it sometime in the future. (And left out a couple of details in the story to not make this summary too long) Feel free to write down anything that may improve on this.

First rule of Spongebob episode writing: Spongebob should annoy Squidward or other Bikini Bottom residents- NOT the TV audience.

as a kid my season 6 DVD had scratches on it, so it would never let me get to the end of Gone. Looks like my dvd player was trying to hide me of the pain

One thing we need to remember is that a lot of these episodes were written during a dark time at Nickelodeon. The company was ABSOLUTELY MILKING Spongebob for anything worth he had left! Correct me if I'm wrong, but at one point it was almost the ONLY thing playing on Nickelodeon!

My hypothesis is that since the show was so crunched for time at that point, the studio didn't have time to proofread the script, meaning the writers could put dang near anything they wanted into an episode with little to no time for the studio to say no. So I believe we're seeing some of the writers kinks peaking out in their work (sad thing is, it wouldn't be the first time they've let something like this happen). Again, that's just a hypothesis!

It’s the same thing with me, while I genuinely understand why many people don’t like the episodes that on the list, I guess I have very high tolerance in comparison to those who do. Yes, I also don’t like seeing Squidward or any character for that matter getting tortured/treating as punching bags throughout the show considering they make me more sad than angry and I do agree with some of the criticisms but issues aside, I don’t mind them personally. I can’t hate SpongeBob regardless if he’s bad or not, there are definitely some things that go out of character at times but excluding that, I still love SpongeBob!!! 😝😊

Compared to other shows' worst episodes, SpongeBob's worst episodes are the most interesting.

Didn’t expect to find out what kind of friend I truly am from a video about infamous SpongeBob episodes. But thank you, Strider, for bringing this “fairweather friend” thing to light for me. I will try my best to fix this part of me and hopefully not keep making the same mistakes that Patrick has made.

I remember that gone episode inspired a bunch of dark fanfics

I think they brought back the concept of 'Pineapple Fever' for a later episode in the series, specifically how 3 of the characters are stuck indoors together due to a storm. I believe the episode was titled 'Pull up a Barrel', where Mr Krabs regales Spongebob and Squidward with a tale of one of his adventures while in the navy whilst they were stuck inside the Krusty Krab together. I personally enjoyed that episode way more than 'Pineapple Fever'.

Agree completely. Although not partially a fan of post-sequel SpongeBob, Pull up a Barrel was certainly a hidden jem. I do also see similarities in the concepts of the two episodes and I know which one I would pick.

Pull Up A Barrel is such a good episode, and in fact, it's my favorite episode of season 9.

I kinda like Slide Whistle Stooges. There's some neat visual gags in the episode which they use with the slide whistle sound effects.

Kinda funny how the writers of spongebob eventually thought that "all that glitters" was pretty horrible too so they redid that plot of spongebob breaking his spatula, but better (although a bit forgettable, it's still a step up from that episode)

@@ItsHailee7 I love Krabby Road and Not Normal too. Big One, while being very weak in story, has a lot of great gags like the Mr. Krab’s not paying for the fan, Squidward’s “who are you” to Sandy and a lot of Patrick’s lines. But, I totally understand the hate the episode receives.

Yo Josh, I thank you for the video you posted. This brings back memories because I remember watching the season 6 episodes as a child. Really, the episode "Giant Squidward" is what gets me.

There IS a way to do Squidward torture right. He has to do something to deserve it.

I remember the first time I actually felt angry at a bad episode of SpongeBob I was 9 with my sister and we reached the end of the special episode Clash Of Triton where Neptune out of nowhere loves his son after the stuff he did to him. Me and my sister both collectively said "WHAT?" in disappointment.

Babe wake up, new PhantomStrider video

I'm surprised nobody has talked about professor squidward and shuffleboarding and pineapple fever since those were considered the worst SpongeBob episodes.

I haven't watched that much Season 6 episode but when you described Pineapple Fever sounded like it could have been a good, quotable episode, like Survival of the Idiots, The Camping Episode or Club Spongebob, or at least a decent one like Good ol' Whatshisname. I didn't imagine it would reach this level of abysmal.

Video Request: Top 10 *UNDERRATED* SpongeBob episodes. Edit: I love it when Nin says "I don't like it", for example at 8:17.

even with slowing the flashing lights down, I still had to look away because it made me feel sick...yikes! I cant imagine how bad it be at normal speed

I just want to say that I absolutely love your content your videos are so addicted❤

Seeing a new Strider's video puts a smile on my face. I've been watching your videos for a while, and you are one of the calmest and most good vibing youtuber

I always liked to imagine that Squidward was the one that invented "National No Spongebob Day", because that just sounds like something only _he_ would do. Aside from that, I actually liked "Gone", minus the ending.

I actually agree that the Squidwood episode is among the absolute worst! It feels like Squidward torture because he is punished for not wanting to play with SpongeBob... Maybe this is because I've been ostracized by my peers throughout my life for no reason, but imagine how crushing it would be if you were just being yourself and you DID want to get along with everyone, even changing your behavior to do so... and not just that, it's because they PREFER a FAKE version of you, where it's almost completely the same: the only difference is that it just isn't you. I feel like that's pure, horrible psychological torture. Again, maybe I'm a bit biased, having a history of being ostracized after all. But seeing Squidwood take #1 is kind of cathartic. I don't care what it's redeeming qualities are. If I could pick just one episode to remove from existence, it would be this one. No contest.

The only redeeming thing about All That Glitters is that it's paired with "Wishing you Well" which is a pretty good episode. I guess in a way, that episode is a reward for enduring All That Glitters

Pairings like that are so frustrating to me, pairing a bad episode with a good episode. It's subjective, but other pairings such as Skill Crane/Good Neighbors, Whale Of A Birthday/Karate Island, Sand Castles In The Sand/Shell Shocked, Are You Happy Now?/Planet Of The Jellyfish, Company Picnic/Pull Up A Barrel, Mimic Madness/House Worming, and Doodle Dimension/Moving Bubble Bass come to mind.

3:38 the impression of the spongebob writer makes me smile.

To be fair, Squidward looked completely unrecognizable and SpongeBob and Patrick had no idea it was Squidward and Squidward couldn’t speak, so he wasn’t able to tell them it was him.

I'm surprised that Jolly Lodgers isn't on this list. That was such an annoying episode where I felt bad for Squidward being tormented by Sponge and Patrick, and the stupidity of Squidward for not realizing the jellyfishing convention was at the hotel. But it was fun when Squidward gets a bit of comeuppance near the end. It's not as bad as some of the episodes on this list, but I was so miserable watching it.

Hyper infamous is worse than ultra infamous, though I can see why they're easily confused. Great video as always!

Hey PhantomStrider. I really do enjoy a lot of your top lists, especially the SpongeBob ones. In fact, I enjoy them so much that I have some ideas that I would like to suggest to you since you're an amazing KZreadr. Anyways, my suggestions for your next top lists are: Top 6 Best Classic SpongeBob Episodes (excluding Sweet Victory) Top 5 Best & Worst Mid-Season SpongeBob Episodes (Seasons 4-9) Top 5 Best & Worst Gary The Snail SpongeBob Episodes Top 10 Best Thomas & Friends Episodes On a side note: I would love to see a list where you cover the Super-Infamous SpongeBob episodes because I'm curious to see your thoughts on why these episodes are Super-Infamous. Anyways, these are just some ideas I have in mind. Keep up the great work.

How come “The Thing” and “Jellyfishing” have similar squidward torturing but one is more loved while one is worse?

Would love to see you cover more of the episodes. Ink Lemonade being one of them. Strangely enough while it is a hated episode, I somehow enjoy it still

I'm pretty much indifferent to Ink Lemonade. I really don't find it super frustrating or super gross to watch unlike certain other episodes, and certain moments such as Patrick's way of answering Squidward's question and the haunted house were entertaining, although Squidward does go through quite a lot of torment. It's a clear definition of a mixed bag for me, and I'm surprised that some consider it the absolute worst episode of the series.

I’ve noticed that basically every bad episode of SpongeBob involves SpongeBob and Patrick torturing the innocent, mostly Squidward.

The title card in "gone" is a vibe. One of the best in the series
