i think this is the best written cause the plot works naturally unlike some of their best eps where the plot gets a little more stretched to make jokes work ...and it helps everyone gets some shine in this one almost...like its an ensemble cast not just focused on 4 people or something...always enjoy the more diverse eps like the superhero one or the dare one
Man, even after all these years...this episode is still one of the most legendary children's show episodes...the plot was perfect, the jokes hit bullseye, and the ending was very satisfying...
Yeah it's legendary and I still don't think it's even as good as Chocolate With Nuts, which is my favorite spongebob episode! The *Every night I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep* line still has my rolling with how dark and random it is!
This is a rare kind of episode. Spongebob really goes out of his way to help Squidward despite their personalities clashing. You don't see that a whole lot.
@@mlitt1996 Yeah. Squidward was meant to be just a grumpy neighbor with a heart of gold but after so many seasons, Squidward just became a straight asshole.
@@thesladesterb3vt3co7h That’s essentially what happened to every character. Spongebob? A working class adult who is a kid at heart and who isn’t afraid to display an emotional side. They doubled down on the emotion over crap like a “broken” kids toy. Squidward? Another working class adult who is a grumpy and pessimistic neighbor but is capable of empathy and happiness. They went in on the grumpiness and turned it up to 11. Mr. Krabs? An openly greedy capitalist who has no qualms about wanting all the money in the world, but occasionally has a humanizing moment and forgoes his greediness. (e.g. realizing how wrong he was to sell Spongebob for 62¢) Instead, they pretty much do away with any humanizing. Patrick? A pretty clueless and naive guy overall, but has shown sparks of brilliance and motivational behavior (e.g. “I’m ugly and I’m proud”) for Spongebob’s sake. Now he all cluelessness and naïveté.
This is one of the only episodes where Squidward in a way wins. He is genuinely happy at the end. I think that is why many see this as one of the best episodes. Squidward is the main character of the episode but every character gets their moment. It's all mixed perfectly.
11:57 if you're still curious it was footage of a USFL game stadium from the 1980s. The USFL if you didn't know was a failed attempt at a semi pro league to play during the spring when the NFL is in the offseason
This episode gets a lot of praise because of Squidward. Throughout the majority of the series, Squidward has back luck and is always criticized for his music. Which is why he is always so bitter and in a bad mood. So this is one of the few times where he actually gets a happy ending.
Well, that has happened like 4 times in season 12 episodes 😂 They are trying to make new Squidward happy moments and most of them are really satisfying, I would say the worst happy Squidward ending moment was in "Pineapple RV", it was a good scene, but it wasn't balanced with Squidward torture in that episode :/ Squidward cared for SpongeBob and Patrick in that episode too, so they mixed two Squidward good points in the same episode 👍
This episode has a Joke every 10 seconds, Its incredible. The writing in the early Spongebob episodes are so funny, yet the humor is really hard to explain.
Yes, the writing was incredible. We all used to quote literally every episode at school. I can’t remember another show that had that effect back in the day.
I get it's a cartoon but, how do you justify calling it a "white sedan" when....with exception....all the vehicles in spongebob look virtually the same?🤔🤦♂️
This episode always made my mother laugh even when she was describing it to someone else!! Watching you guys react makes me think of my mom laughing in heaven.😂😂😇
Bro, the way ur eyebrows jumped up at the end when them trumpets started had me. U had no idea what was about to go down. That's SB hall of fame history
This Episode is just awesome. When I hear the song and the band doing everything together and then this ending with Squidward where he jumps happily into the air makes me sad. Good old days as I say. Good old days.
This is literally the best episode of SpongeBob. The comedy is well-timed throughout the episode. And the ending leaves you feeling uplifted. Not to mention everyone works together and comes through for Squidward to give him are rare win.
I'm in my 40s, and caught this episode, just by chance (don't really watch Spongebob that much) years ago with my Mom (who used to be a music teacher). Needless to say we both thoroughly enjoyed it 😂
Man seeing two adult men react at 12:55 REALLY took me back to seeing this the first time as a kid. That was all worth it for just that one moment. I love it
12:17 The way you expected them to play badly xd, I believe is the same way I and many others wait for the same, and were incredibly and happily surprised 🙌 I feel chills whenever I watch the song, and remember how happy I was for Squidward the first time I saw this episode as a kid 😊
@@morganrussmansomebody said that Squidward was playing his clarinet so badly that it sounded like an animal was dying, so that’s why the paramedics were there.
This for sure should have been the final episode. It has just about every element in SpongeBob that makes it stand out. The SpongeBob/Squidward dynamic, hilarious dialogue from Patrick, one liners from the background characters, and live action moments from real people. A episode with an over-arcing plot, and moments that nearly/jump the shark.
Band Geeks is one of my favorite episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, because I love the Sweet Victory song at the end of the episode. Sabrina Griffin 🤩🖤🧡💙❤️🩷💛💜🤎😻🫶🧡🤠🧡💙❤️🩷💛💜🩶🫶
Your reaction to the Super Bowl scene when it first showed the stadium cracked me up. The NFL has lost out on a golden opportunity to get a band, dress them up as the Spongebob characters and do the halftime show at one of the Super Bowls.
If you want more "Victory", it's a full song. *Sweet Victory - David Glen Eisley* Loved that song when I first heard it on tv 20 years ago & got it on my Ipod. 😂 And yeah. I still have one of those. They come in handy. LMAO
The only thing that would have made that Episode even better was if they continued the song into the Credit Roll it was one of the best I have seen from Spongebob
I do reactions sometimes and this is something I've done a couple of times. Normally you have a bigger risk of copyright claims or strikes if you show the footage in your video, but when your reactions are most audio, it can be hard to follow along sometimes. Sometimes a mirror can be helpful to compromise, because it shows the picture in reverse, and depending on where you place it, you can hide a good portion of it so it doesnt show the whole thing, which I think lessens the risk
Band Geeks is one of my favorite SpongeBob episodes. I used to be in a band once, that's why this episode reminds me of my Band Days. Everything starts out with Squidward trying to prove to Squilliam that he has a band, but then everything starts falling apart and Squidward thought that he failed and his band members failed him. But at the ending, they changed Squidward's heart by the song Sweet Victory and made him happy. Perfect story right there, that's why this episode will always be my favorite SpongeBob episode of all time
Fun Fact: That field they perform on is Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Home of the Memphis Showboats in the United States Football League. Some of their popular team members were Reggie White and Lex Luger
This is the best spongebob episode for me RIP to Stephen Hillenberg legend

I never... considered that someone might not have actually SEEN Band Geeks.
This is incredible. This is pure.

"Too bad that didn't kill me."😂
Squidward's sarcasm is the best!
The best subtle joke in spongebob
Squidward always helped us out when it was convenient for him.
“That’s it? I wanted more VICTORY!” We all did, Jamaican Snuggie. We all did...
The full song is on RUclips. The artist name is David Glen Eisley.
We all 😭🔥
Band Geeks is best Spongebob episode. So much humor with many of the characters, there's so many hilarious moments and creative jokes.

Pretty much, and the fact that 'he' was able to rub something in his arch Rivals face for a rare time of for once.

This clearly makes “Are You Happy Now?” a nonsense epsiode
This Episode is just awesome. When I hear the song and the band doing everything together and then this ending with Squidward where he jumps happily into the air makes me sad. Good old days as I say. Good old days.

my favorite part of that episode was Sandy beating Patrick with a trumpet XD it always get me
And the best part is you never actually see what happens outside, and just hear his scream.
It makes it funnier IMO.
It was a trombone
And the random person shouting" Hit him! Hit him! That's it!"😈

Hands down my absolute favorite episode of SpongeBob ever from childhood to adulthood! R.I.P Stephen Hillenburg
The funny about “Sweet Victory” was that it was recorded in 1997, despite the song sounding like an ‘80s power ballad.
Besides the cholcolate episode this is my second favorite episode
The only thing that would have made that Episode even better was if they continued the song into the Credit Roll it was one of the best I have seen from Spongebob
This might be the most perfect episode of television we’ve ever had...
