spongebob i've got a bone to pick with
you
it's time to check out the last tiny
shred of creativity
not yet destroyed by the corporate
pinheads running nickelodeon
spongebob as much as i enjoy this cheery
sponge's underwater fast food routines
over the years he has managed some bad
episodes
worthy of song so in order to honor the
dim-witted nimrod moves nickelodeon's
been making to stifle
all creativity left on their network
let's check out the top
6 worst spongebob episodes and as always
if you do like these episodes that's
great it's just my usual
silly personal opinion and i'm glad you
can enjoy these episodes
so take this list with a pinch of salt
anyway let's do this countdown
number six the splinter spongebob
surprise surprise gets a splinter in
fact he gets the ultimate
mother of all splinters
a huge pus-filled blood-spewing
vein-filled splinter and lucky us
we get to see every tiny detail as it
slowly inserted into the skin
and the rest of the episode is pretty
much watching the splinter get
more and more revolting and finally
watching patrick
slowly nail the splinter further into
spongebob's thumb
covering it in garbage to infect it and
finally leaving it looking like a
gangrenous festering horror
for starters this doesn't actually make
sense
given spongebob's anatomic structure
how does he even get a blood spewing
splinter anyway
i mean he's called spongebob but you
really do have to give the creators
credit
for making an injury look so painful and
yet
managing to sneak this much horrifying
imagery past the senses
the splinter has a lousy premise not
much happens
and it is downright agonizing to watch
and for number five spongebob
you're fired hey gary i'm home
forever or you could get another job
maybe
i mean mr krabs openly admits he only
pays you a nickel a day
why don't you be a jellyfish park ranger
or something
you love jellyfish spongebob becomes
miserably depressed
because he's fired from his fry cook job
in fact
from losing his fry cook job he loses
all faith in himself and
all energy to live first off i want to
say this is a downright
bad example for kids you don't have to
define yourself by your job
you should define yourself by how you
treat others or the hobbies you enjoy
i think people dislike this episode so
much because it is a complete change of
character for the sponge we knew
the real spongebob we know wouldn't be
this crushed and useless after a small
setback but this spongebob just becomes
empty and cynical the words empty
cynical and spongebob
just don't go in the same sentence it's
unusually discriminating against the
unemployed really
what are you doing with these here
freeloaders i got
fired now i'm unemployed maybe the
creators were trying to discourage young
people from leaving their jobs
i don't know but i was not a fan of this
episode
and the fourth worst spongebob episode
is
pet sitter pat i'd say this is the
episode where we watch
patra transition from a lovable stooge
to a cruel
apathetic jerk when spongebob leaves the
house for the week
we watch patrick starve gary to death
while torturing him at the same time
and much of the episode is gary crying
in terror and suffering
as patrick laughs inanely eventually
because of patrick's stupidity
gary turns into a vicious feral monster
that's it gary attack patrick even i
want to see patrick torn to shreds at
this point
this episode really drove home for me
why patrick is one of the most hated
cartoon characters
he's not just stupid but uncaring
towards others feelings
he doesn't even try to do right by
spongebob and treat his pet well
as the episode drags on gary is forced
into hiding in order to survive
patrick's
rampant stupidity until eventually
patrick tries to set gary
on fire with a flamethrower how
how do we even get fire in the sea
anyway
it's the ocean you can't get fire and
water and ugh and we finished this
episode off with patrick trying to kill
gary with salt sure why not this
is not patrick's best moment and the
third
worst spongebob episode is demolition
doofus
i've always felt bad for mrs puff but i
do get the joke spongebob can be a
nuisance
but this episode felt more like watching
her be repeatedly
tormented to the brink of insanity it
feels like i'm watching this hidden
malicious evil side of the writers
whenever i see mrs puff
i just never found it that funny or
entertaining to continually watch mrs
puff
suffer we start the episode off by
spongebob permanently injuring her
leaving her hospitalized at this point
she
finally snaps and we watch her slowly
seethe with hate
until she eventually decides she needs
to kill spongebob
i could finally be rid of spongebob wait
what
surely on a kid's network trying to kill
spongebob is crossing the line just a
little i mean
even squidward wouldn't try to kill
spongebob and he is
forced to work with him every single day
to me anyway
seeing someone go insane over their
hatred for a person is
not really a comfortable experience and
i never quite got the joke of
continually beating mrs puffs down
until she's miserable by the end i
really do wish spongebob would graduate
and mrs puffs
would be given peace
and the second worst spongebob episode
is
stuck in the ringer have i got a stinker
for you today
patrick surprise surprise torment
spongebob
gluing his friend permanently into the
ringer device so he can't
eat work or even move his hands
i don't even get it how could stupidity
even guide someone to glue someone into
place
that seems more like something that
would actually take intelligence and
malice
this process leaves spongebob injured
miserable and
dead inside this episode is beyond
excruciating and for once
spongebob finally complains to patrick
about his passive-aggressive
nasty behavior you know you know how i
feel about you ruining my life and he
damn well
should stand up for himself and in
response the entire park
turns on him for complaining about being
abused claiming he has a
bad heart what kind of twisted
mean-spirited
botched-up moral is that and just to top
off the distasteful pile
we are finally subject to imagery of
spongebob having become
paralyzed and insane after the endless
abuse and trauma he suffered
sometimes there's a lazy boring episode
of spongebob and with 10 seasons
who can blame the occasional stinker but
this is just outright cruel
i guess crying does solve your problems
after all
sure why not and before we get to number
one
i'd like to give the usual quick
dishonorable mentions
a pal for gary i was tempted to cover
this one again but i talked about it in
worst episode of good cartoons and
didn't have much to add for those who
don't know spongebob gets a pet that
tries to eat
gary for the whole episode it's pretty
horrible squid bob
tentacle pants just grotesque
truth or square endless flashbacks
and as much as i think tom kenny is
awesome watching 60 straight minutes of
him calling random celebrities was
kinda dull and i can only imagine how
bored the kids must have gotten seeing
all these
random grown-ups they didn't know though
that being said
i did really like the scurvy song by
pink anyway
here we go and the number one worst
spongebob episode is
one course meal i know i've discussed
this one before
but there really is just no topping the
cruelty of this episode
who came up with the idea of watching
plankton
tortured to the point of insanity and
suicide and said
yeah that's a great idea for a kid's
cartoon
our friend plankton turns out to be
instinctively petrified in fear by the
side of wales
so the creators dedicated the entire
episode to torturing plankton in fear
to the point where he is isolated broken
down and attempts to kill himself
to which crabs laughs with glee jeepus
i just can't get past the unfiltered
malice in this episode watching plankton
break down
lose his sanity and isolate himself from
the world is just
excruciating to watch and in case you
still found the episode even
slightly tasteful plankton then has a
seizure-inducing nightmare
filled with horror music and plankton
being burned alive by acid
this is what eventually leads him to try
and kill himself
was there any attempt at good taste in
this episode
one course meal is truly the epitome of
bad for spongebob it's violent
it's cruel it's disturbing and downright
malicious
i can easily say it remains the number
one
worst spongebob episode but as much as
it's easy to make fun of spongebob's bad
moments
it remains one of the final creative
innovative cartoons nickelodeon still is
and after 16 years of episodes any
cartoon that tries to be creative
is going to occasionally have a bad
episode and honestly
even if the new episodes aren't quite as
good as the old spongebob has managed to
remain so
solid over the years so much so that
even nickelodeon can't find a reason to
crush its creativity
it's always been miles above the
nickelodeon sitcoms
which populate most of the channel now
and i honestly don't mind spongebob
sticking around because
as long as spongebob is around
nickelodeon can never
quite forget the value of creative
animation do you think i missed a
particularly bad spongebob episode
if you think so feel free to leave your
thoughts in the comments
and as always thanks for watching and
i'll see you next time
