It's funny. Both that episode and Pizza Delivery are two of many awesome episodes that get into Squidward's head and help us understand his disconnect with SpongeBob and help develop his character into someone who understands SpongeBob's more childish tendencies a little bit more. And yet, they're paired with two of his most antagonistic appearances.
I thought "The Great Snail Race" was pretty alright. It's definitely uncomfortable to watch Gary in pain, but I feel like that's the point, especially for the parents who might be listening in. Some parents push their kids way too hard just so they can brag to other parents, without stopping to think that their kids might be hurting from it. After this episode, they might reflect for a moment as to whether they themselves should check in and see how their child is actually feeling. I do agree that it felt out of character for Spongebob to act that way, though. Maybe they could've switched Spongebob and Squidward's attitudes - where Spongebob is competing in a snail race just for fun, and Squidward enters his snail for the sole purpose of beating Spongebob. Gary trains hard but still gets plenty of rest and care from Spongebob, while Squidward pushes his snail to the point that it collapses on the track. From his defeat, Squidward is reminded that it's not fair to force yourself or someone else to work 24/7, just for the sake of having bragging rights for a little while. And Spongebob and Gary show that, even when you do work hard, your work should never take priority over your well-being.
And there's couple of jokes that i liked in this episode: *The fan being the annoucer *Spongebob say sorry to Gary *and finally, everybody mispronouncing Squidward's last name (Tortellini!)
The sad thing is that Disney's purely animated division is still putting in some actual effort. However, the efforts of their animated division have been greatly overshadow by their far wore live activation department. At this rate, Disney's live action department feels like they have lost ALL INSPIRATION. Honestly, the ONLY live action project I have any interest from them in the near future is Jungle Book 2. Even then, that depends if they base it off the original book or if it's just a retread of the animated sequel. If it's the later, I'm running for the hills. The rest of their live action remakes need to be scrapped far sooner than later. Regardless of whether Walt himself actually wanted his company to remake movies or not.
New Student Starfish may be a weak episode, but it was worth it for this little gem: Patrick: "Who cares about a stupid star?" Spongebob: "Gee, Patrick, it seems like you would care a lot about stupid stars, considering you are one!"
not beeimg good does not equal beeing bad. Each of these episodes had its strenghts and good jokes. The stuff that did not work was characters acting out of character, tho they were still somewhat following their usual characteristics. I always saw it as a minor inconsistency like the layout of bikini bottom and stuff like that
@@Hamantha It's because they are being blinded by nostalgia. A lot of times, we may think of something we used to enjoy when we were younger as being the greatest thing ever, only to revisit it and find it's not as perfect as we remembered it as. But nostalgia tends to make things more rose-colored by comparison, especially if we block out the worse parts intentionally
Grandma’s Kisses is actually my favorite episode of the entire classic era, my grandpa passed away last year after a car accident. I’m so happy my grandma survived because I feel so close to her more than ever in my life! I even recorded myself singing I want to hold your hand as her birthday last month...she loved it. It’s beautiful that I can hug her every day now! Thanks for including it!
Grandma's Kisses made me almost cry when SpongeBob said "I DON'T WANNA GROW UP" and that. If I were SpongeBob and if that was my grandmother, my grandma, I'd tell her a confession about the guys at the Krusty Krab and Patrick was and had been helping me become a man and she would've totally understand and try help me out. I would give 100% of credit to Stephen Hillenburg for the episode, even though he may've realized that it was the worst episode he had/has ever made.
The climax of grandma's kisses really hits home for me, as an age regressor myself. Sometimes you just absolutely don't want to grow up and want to go back to the times where you were just a carefree child getting cookies and sleeping with teddies. I understand the rest of this episode, but SpongeBobs tantrum just absolutely hits me and is a heartbreaking scene to watch.
same here, even before i started age regressing i could really sympathize with the feeling of being scared to grow up and cracking under the pressure and just wanting to be a kid again
I actually agree. Especially since many kids, teens, and even adults feel pressured to grow up or think it's cool to grow up and that childish things are "lame." So many shows show growing up as awful as a way to counter this mindset and that your life will be dull and boring, but this episode shows it as you don't have to give up the things you enjoy just because you're an adult. It's refreshing. My only issue with the episode is Squidward and the town--I can see some people bullying him for that, but not as many, and I don't see Squidward caring. He just doesn't want to be bothered.
I hate how overused the police got in the show. Squidward gets a ticket for the 100th time, Mrs. Puff gets arrested for the 500th time. I don't like them in real life, why do I need to see them a thousand times in soongebob
I don’t dislike any of these episodes, but I will agree that they’re easily some of the weakest of the first 3 seasons (AKA some of the most entertaining and quotable television ever made and I won’t hear otherwise) With the exception of Squilliam Returns and of course, New Student Starfish, which gave me one of my favorite lines of all time (you know what I’m talking about)
@Sam Belcher Nope, I’m also really into cartoons as well and consider myself a early-mid 2000s Disney, Nick, and CN Show enthusiast (from everything to old Spongebob to Lizzie McGuire to Billy And Mandy to Zack And Cody)
@@ronstoppable5659 I'm also a big fan of both cartoons and music. I'm more of an adult cartoon guy (even though I'm a minor) but shows like Regular Show and Adventure Time still get my appreciation
@Sam Belcher I like me some adult cartoons as well, Rick And Monty and South Park are a lot of fun and I know that it’s more of a teen/family show but 90s Simpsons is probably my favorite show of all time
“Dumped” is the beginning of Patrick being a scumbag of a friend, and he consistently became a worse friend and person as the series continued. Change my mind.
@@animeboy7082 Patrick just wanted to be Gary's friend and after seeing Gary didn't turn back with Spongebob, he tried to calm him, he wasn't bad. And the episode is funny, it has got 4 or 5 memorable jokes.
Grandma’s kisses taught an important lesson to me when I was younger. It shows no matter what happens, you’ll always get your brother’s, sister’s, parent’s etc. love. I think it teaches wonderful things about love when you’re an adult. But when you want to be babied keep it private because it shows the consequences of what happens when in public.
Cartman TV plus, the fact that Squidward and the townspeople don't get their comeuppance. So, if anything, this episode, along with "I'm With Stupid", is saying that bullying is okay!
My grandma practically raised me for most of my young childhood. Now im 19 and she lives across the Country. I'd kill for one of her kisses or hugs. I miss her
Grandma's Kisses always depressed me as a kid especially since my grandmother was the only grandparent I only ever got to meet and she died before I was even 2 years old
Honestly, I actually really like Grandma's Kisses, because it keeps with the theme of SpongeBob being seen as too childish, but learning that as long as he's willing to take responsibility for his life and carry is own weight, there's no problem with his childlike spirit (and SpongeBob's breakdown at the end makes sense after being made fun of his lifestyle, and being lead to believe that being mature means he has to give up everything that makes him happy, including showing affection to his loving family).
To be honest, I had always liked some of these episodes like "Dumped" and "The Great Snail Race". The ladder because it gives a lesson that needs to be said today where parents and teachers are encouraged to push their kids to unrealistic limits at times (have you seen "Dance Moms"?) . But I agree with "Party Pooper Pants" (even as a kid, I thought something felt wrong). As for "I'm With Stupid", I was alright with it until MrEnter pointed out how much of a jerk Patrick was.
I'm the only one who likes party pooper pants I thought it was entertaining and funny. One episode that is deftly mean spirited is grandma's kisses if that episode was made today it would be ripped to shreds
Even I’ll admit that as a kid, “I’m With Stupid” always rubbed me the wrong way, though I couldn’t articulate why. The two great aspects about “SpongeBob” as an episodic series is how I can opt to watch some episodes on repeat more than others and the worst ones I’ve seen have bordered on WTF; as in, “what the hell am I watching” or “how did an episode like this come to fruition?” SpongeBob is going to have his off-days like Mickey or Bugs and that’s okay. I’m at least glad to know he has a welcome presence in my life and he remains a part of my cartoon family.
Silver linings about some of the dishonorable mentions: SpongeBob and Patrick laughing in boating school then getting separated was kinda relatable. The 24 joke is a classic and so is their wimpy fight. Aside from those details I agree. Squilliam Returns has some classic jokes. SpongeBob’s brain and May I take your hat sir? The ending was a downer for sure because I wanted to see Squidward succeed after so much effort too. SpongeBob even sacrificed his Metal health. Squeaky Boots isn’t at the top of my list, but I like it. It’s hilarious whenever Mr. Krabs has a guilty conscience and hilariously struggles to do the right thing. Unlike the soda drinking hat he wasn’t motivated by money.
I never understood why the cops arrested him...was it because they weren't invited to his party or was it because he was stuttering so it made him seem suspicious? 🤔
Yeah I don't like it when SpongeBob got arrested for a stupid reason makes me want there to be a 1 year purge where all crimes except murder, sexual harrasment, and stealing other Legos are legal for 12 hours from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am
Honestly I love The Great Snail Race because it perfectly captures the idea of those parents that push their child to the limits to win a sporting event. And unlike A Pal For Gary, it actually has a happy ending, with Gary falling in love with Snelly and Spongebob actually apologizing. Plus there a lot of funny moments like when it shows Patrick standing on Squidward, or when the fan walks into the commentator's room, when the mayor just picks up the snail to light the torch, and of course the running joke of mispronouncing Squidward's last name.
I think the joke is "Disabled people wear helmets to not injure themselves", implying that Patrick was trying to make SpongeBob look mentally disabled. I'm pretty sure that he was just supposed to look stupid, though. The joke hasn't aged well.
@@MrThefunkyj oh I always thought the joke was that he was wearing his karate helmet when he wasnt practicing karate because he's stupid I didnt think it was specifically targeting mentally challenged people
I don’t mind a cheap premise as long as the episode is enjoyable. I like it fine, but they could’ve had a better reason for spongebob to want to be more mature. Also that ending shot of squidward and everyone laughing at the window was p unnecessary
Honestly, I don't think I could ever hate Party Pooper Pants. I agree Spongebob's control issues were annoying, but there just way too many jokes that still make me smile and laugh. "Who the heck is Squarepants?" "I think you went to kindergarten with him." "...oh yeah, Spongbob. Well, time to move again." or Mrs. Puff flipping the window on Spongebob, confusing him.
the gorilla episode was so terrifying. especially since it was the last one on the dvd and then you had nothing afterwards to cleanse the terrifying aura the entire episode has. the gorilla isn’t the only part that makes it terrifying, the entire episode has a certain darkness around it that makes it difficult to watch. i’d have to rewatch it to be able to put my finger on it but omg was it scary.
I feel like having that as the last episode on a vhs would be more terrifying. Especially since after the credits and logos there would be a black screen or static
Frankly “it’s about time” from Phineas and Ferb parodies that trope quite well. 😄 (and it caused a weird subdivision in the fandom? But oh well. Just don’t go on Deviantart 😆)
I agree that SpongeBob’s descent into sadness is hard to watch, but I think it effectively shows how hard it can be to lose a friend. HOWEVER, I _hated_ how Patrick acted in the episode. He basically turned against SpongeBob so far that it’s like he lost two friends! I think they could have massively improved the episode by having Patrick try to encourage Gary to go back to SpongeBob, and not accuse SpongeBob of failing Gary.
My favorite joke in the House Party episode is how: A) the band of parrot puppets is the Bird Brains, potentially a riff on Bad Brains, and B) the lead singer of the band (and that episode’s song) is the legendary Lux Interior of the Cramps.
Some of these episodes still have their gems. Like SpongeBob's Grandma's moral and Patrick's commentary on Jazz. I found some of these episodes sad rather, and I like it when an episode makes me cry in a strange way.
The Twist of "I'm with Stupid" is what makes the episode, but it's one of the darkest and most controversial morals the show ever ran with. The idea that the truly stupid people are prone to cruelty and are unreachable and best avoided. I can't 100% agree with this idea, but I can't 100% disagree with it either.
I always thought that this show went downhill at a 90 degree angle after the film. Turns out, nostalgia just kept me from seeing that the show always had flaws...
Hard disagree, Watch Survival Of The Idiots, Idiot Box, Band Geeks, Snowball Effect, Camping Episode, and so many more and tell me it’s just nostalgia, also the fact that these are the “worst” episodes of that era of Spongebob, proves how truly great that show was back in the day
It went full 180 after the fourth season lol. There are some really bad primetime spongebob episodes and some really good post-prime spongebob episodes, but people make the destinction for a good reason.
"Party Pooper Pants" is a guilty pleasure episode for me. Seeing all of the Spongebob cast together was fun, I laughed at the Patchy segments, and had a blast with. But I do understand why others don't like it.
Not gonna lie, i dont dislike any of these episodes, Grandma’s kisses comes the closest but even thats more just its slow (and has an admittedly cringy ending) im guessing the 10-15 minute runtime helps though. I think its fun seeing Spongebob break character every now and then it shows he has flaws and establishes him as a better character , i much rather it over the “happy to the point of annoyance” he emits now
@Ron Weasley For the most part yeah, him being mean spirited in the parents one tows the line cuz theres still jokes to be had, later seasons when he gets like that he really is insufferable
i've got one thing to say: if a large group of people in a series (animated or not) act like jerks, i will call it now the "Bikini Bottom Syndrome" because that appears to be 100% accurate. literally every single time the civilians of Bikini Bottom are either a bunch of jerks (Grandma's Kisses, The Sponge Who Could Fly) or they're just plain stupid.
Oh god Grandma's Kisses is easily one of the WORST of the Classic Spongebob era....It just...yeah felt so needlessly cruel. And funny now, that we live in a time where we crave that inner child, that nostalgic time....For the whole town to still make fun of Sponge at the end just felt like "oh okay....ouch." and I feel like that episode would've been better if it had ended right when Sponge and his grandma hug. It would've left a bigger impact, and taught a better lesson to kids-to cherish the time you have with your relatives, especially grandparents cause you never know when the next time you see them is the last.
Ribotto Studios What could have really made that ending work is if the grandmas of all the people bullying SpongeBob formed an angry mob, and started beating them up with rolling pins, because that would be them getting Karma.
Like Jem Reviews said, at least one of SpongeBob’s grandmothers in this episode was being grandmotherly kind-spirited. And that’s giving it credit where credit is due.
Fun fact: when I was younger, I dreamed that Spongebob would tell his grandma about everyone mocking him for loving her, and then she'd reveal that she was a veteran and chase them off so that he wouldn't suffer through this again.
I like how he says that they clearly don’t understand the physical limitations of water and then says throw it in the fire like nobody questions the fire underwater
@@dadjackwillextras2887 Idk, i just feel everyone was being a massive jerk to Spongebob. I mean the ending was sweet, but i wanted to see Old Man Jenkins die.
How could you miss out the Squidward Tortellini joke?! & “I’m With Stupid” is easily the worst classic episode for me. Period. Still a fantastic list overall Strider!
@@murphmariotwopointoh7714 huh? what happened i want to know but i feel like something bad might've happened did he get: - terminal illness? - a felony? - touching people in the the wrong way without consent? - hacking peoples computers? - murder? - post bad stuff on RUclips? - robbing/mugging/capturing someone? i don't know but yeah, you should probably not say it here.
And 2 decades later, Krabby Land predicts the recent Willy Wonka Experience scandal… it is pretty odd to see that SpongeBob actually predicted an event as the majority of predictions in television are seen in The Simpsons!
I can almost understand if Squidward and the customers were like 10 or 11 years old when they were teasing Spongebob for getting kissed by his grandma. But they're ADULTS for Adonai's sake!
I honestly love I’m With Stupid. Mainly because of how funny SpongeBobs reactions and him acting stupid, and then trying to convince his fake parents that he’s not dumb. The thing I don’t like about the episode is the terrible ending
I mostly agree, except the ending is what I even enjoy the most about this episode. Like, who where these people even? XD It's jsut so hillariously stupid to me XD
Great snail race would have been better if Soongebob had no idea how to train Gary and is really concerned Gary will lose, then realizes that he could put the TV at the finish line
I can almost see where they were going with Grandma's Kisses, since I think the overall theme would resonate with older kids wanting to look cool for their friends and giving up their "childhood" status earlier than they would have. The beginning of the episode doesn't actually bother me. The ending is horrible though, it just always made me feel horribly stressed as a kid, because it reminded me that I would have to grow up and leave behind the warmth of being a kid... but then at the same time, you really did feel pathetic watching him have a temper tantrum to that degree, more than any other over the top "crying scene". In general, I just think the original 2002 movie did an infinitely better narrative about forcing yourself to grow up. That and the growth spurt one are the only two I can say are unwatchable for me.
I actually like the great snail race mainly because of Gary and Snaily’s interactions they were very cute I wish she would have appeared more then once and it saves the episode for me also helps that despite it being one of spongbobs worst episodes it’s one of Patrick’s best in my opinion
The blue fish in Grandma's Kisses is Charlie. Charlie's been mean to SpongeBob since, he even tries to make fun of SpongeBob in the episode The Nitwitting. Sometimes he doesn't do it. So... Charlie's not that mean, he barely makes a word. He's been a cameo.
I must say, these classic Spongebob Episodes are quite nostalgic to me. I remember watching these a lot as a kids, and some of these really did not hit right with me. Looking back, I now know why, and it's not a pretty sight, as you explained. Not sure if I fully agree with I'm With Stupid, and Dumped. I honestly think that they should've been swapped, because Dumped is an awful lot more unpleasent towards Spongebob then I'm With Stupid is. I'm With Stupid, while Patrick and Company are the absolute worst in the second half of the Episode, the first half is absolutely hilarious for me. Every time I watch the Episode, I just have a wonderful time at whatever it is Spongebob does there. While in Dumped, I just feel absolutely terrible for Spongey. Patrick was at it's worst he can be in the Episode, and Spongey was even more miserable then I have ever seen him in any Episode. Yes, worse then he was in Spongebob You're Fired. It just makes me so sad to see him in that Episode. I do see why people would consider I'm With Stupid to be the worst Episode of Classic Spongebob, though
11:20 actually, she's seen again a few episodes later in the lost episode, where she shows up as Ms. Puff's pet instead, and yet she claims "I've had her since I was a little girl" idk. Just go look at the Ms. Puff theory by alex bale and he'll explain why she has snellie, I won't spoil it
when i saw the ending of "im with stupid", i had a lots of questions - how did those strangers know that a starfish lived in that rock? - how did they know his name? - how did they know about him being dumb? i mean, if they didnt have any children they had to find out that info SOMEWHERE. right?
I'm glad that someone is actually tackling some of the bad older episodes, usually people just assume and say that the older episodes are perfect and the new ones are the ones that are bad.
You know something, Strider? I respect your opinion, and I do get the annoyance of the town teasing him, but to me, in context, that was the whole point. The town does not see the value of an adult male being kissed but your grandmother, because THEY find it to be immature, Spongebob tried to tell them that there is nothing wrong with that, but the town kept laughing even more. Especially when the kiss could not come off his forehead. Spongebob, due to his childish nature, has fallen into peer pressure by the town to become "Mature". For me, and a lot of people, "Grandma's Kisses", is essentially an exploration into to spongebob's childish nature. He's always been described as a child in an Adult's body, or vice versa. So having an episode where they talk about what it means to both be a child at heart and an adult in mind, is why this episode resonates with me. Even years later, it still resonates with me. Patrick's "And then you get behind her and I'll push" line, as though they are gonna commit a kidnapping crime Is hysterical, to his "Have I ever not been right?" to "Freeform Jazz" to Patrick surrending his plan to eat cookies is hysterical, and it is totally within his character to do so, especially when spongebob got mad at him. The crunching that spongebob does when eating steam coral has me in stiches. The scene where spongebob breaks down and wants to be a kid makes perfect sense because he feels as though adult life isn't all that's cracked up to be despite him being an adult himself. It shows that he does not want to pretend being something that he is not, and he feels as though earning his Grandmother's love means acting immature. Children are immature and that IS a side that Spongebob has, believe it or not. Plus, the many gags that Spongebob does when crying, to an actual kitchen sponge, to a water fountain to a lawn sprinkler, is Freaking hilarious, and you can see why the town would be laughing at it as well. Hey, it's a cartoon. What can I say? It was still in good fun. That is why, even when I was a kid, I knew the lesson, I knew that the lesson that the Grandmother told Spongebob was definitely was warranted, and I still laughed with the town in the end, because it was Ironic that they did see what spongebob was up to in the house. Is it mean spirited, sure and they are still in the wrong for doing that, but at the same time, you can't help but laugh at the way spongebob was crying, because it was just so damn funny! Point being, I still respect your opinion, but I will always defend Grandma's Kisses, it is a treasured classic!
It's not random. Full context taken from an episode transcript: Spongebob: Looks like we're going to start our training now, ladies! (laughs) I call you a lady to humiliate and demean you. It's a motivational tool we coaches use. (scene cuts to Sandy walking down the street) Sandy: Hmm... I don't know why, but I think I'll kick SpongeBob's butt tomorrow. The joke is that Sandy, Spongebob's most athletic friend, wouldn't be very pleased with Spongebob using a stereotype at her expense. It's like a condensed version of Squirrel Jokes.
Squeaky boots seems to be a nod to edgar allen poe's the tell-tale heart... And that's why i love the episode

Since Squidville was paired with Grandma's Kisses, I viewed Squidward's house being destroyed as karma for bullying Spongebob.

I actually agree. Especially since many kids, teens, and even adults feel pressured to grow up or think it's cool to grow up and that childish things are "lame." So many shows show growing up as awful as a way to counter this mindset and that your life will be dull and boring, but this episode shows it as you don't have to give up the things you enjoy just because you're an adult. It's refreshing. My only issue with the episode is Squidward and the town--I can see some people bullying him for that, but not as many, and I don't see Squidward caring. He just doesn't want to be bothered.
My problem with Party Pooper Pants isn’t really SpongeBob, my problem is that he gets arrested for no reason at the end
I think the only time the police was actually competent was when they clobbered patrick for acting like an executive.
That profile picture is perfect
But that Bird Brain song was pretty catchy, (Stephen Hillenburg performed that song)
Danzig Fan 2006 yeah that was a really great song
I hate how overused the police got in the show.
Squidward gets a ticket for the 100th time, Mrs. Puff gets arrested for the 500th time.
I don't like them in real life, why do I need to see them a thousand times in soongebob
I don’t dislike any of these episodes, but I will agree that they’re easily some of the weakest of the first 3 seasons (AKA some of the most entertaining and quotable television ever made and I won’t hear otherwise) With the exception of Squilliam Returns and of course, New Student Starfish, which gave me one of my favorite lines of all time (you know what I’m talking about)
I thought I only found you on every single music related video, now you're on cartoon related videos too?
@Sam Belcher Nope, I’m also really into cartoons as well and consider myself a early-mid 2000s Disney, Nick, and CN Show enthusiast (from everything to old Spongebob to Lizzie McGuire to Billy And Mandy to Zack And Cody)
@@ronstoppable5659 I'm also a big fan of both cartoons and music. I'm more of an adult cartoon guy (even though I'm a minor) but shows like Regular Show and Adventure Time still get my appreciation
@Sam Belcher I like me some adult cartoons as well, Rick And Monty and South Park are a lot of fun and I know that it’s more of a teen/family show but 90s Simpsons is probably my favorite show of all time
Wow you’re everywhere
“Dumped” is the beginning of Patrick being a scumbag of a friend, and he consistently became a worse friend and person as the series continued. Change my mind.
True, but it isn't that exaggerated, it's a decent funny episode, and Patrick wasn't that bad friend.
@@Pablo.673 it’s not a funny episode

@@animeboy7082 Patrick just wanted to be Gary's friend and after seeing Gary didn't turn back with Spongebob, he tried to calm him, he wasn't bad. And the episode is funny, it has got 4 or 5 memorable jokes.
Grandma’s kisses taught an important lesson to me when I was younger. It shows no matter what happens, you’ll always get your brother’s, sister’s, parent’s etc. love. I think it teaches wonderful things about love when you’re an adult. But when you want to be babied keep it private because it shows the consequences of what happens when in public.
Well have a Good concept but the execution is really Awful.

Fun fact: The part where Mr krabs breaks down in squeaky boots is inspired by the tell tale heart by Edgar Allen Poe.
_"Villains! Dissemble no more! I admit the deed! Here! Here! It is the beating of the hideous heart!"_
*~ Edgar Allan Poe*
I rewatched the episode a while ago and was reminded of that, but didn't know if it was intentional or not.
I realized that years later when I read it for university.
Oni Gaming I read it for 8th grade.
I put two and two together about a year ago reading Poe's work
Honestly, I actually really like Grandma's Kisses, because it keeps with the theme of SpongeBob being seen as too childish, but learning that as long as he's willing to take responsibility for his life and carry is own weight, there's no problem with his childlike spirit (and SpongeBob's breakdown at the end makes sense after being made fun of his lifestyle, and being lead to believe that being mature means he has to give up everything that makes him happy, including showing affection to his loving family).
Agreed. It is my fave episode of all time.
same
That's an excellent moral.
Tbh grandma kisses can be both good and trash episode
To be honest, I had always liked some of these episodes like "Dumped" and "The Great Snail Race". The ladder because it gives a lesson that needs to be said today where parents and teachers are encouraged to push their kids to unrealistic limits at times (have you seen "Dance Moms"?) . But I agree with "Party Pooper Pants" (even as a kid, I thought something felt wrong). As for "I'm With Stupid", I was alright with it until MrEnter pointed out how much of a jerk Patrick was.
I'm the only one who likes party pooper pants I thought it was entertaining and funny. One episode that is deftly mean spirited is grandma's kisses if that episode was made today it would be ripped to shreds
I'm With Stupid was such an awful episode. It even really pissed me off as a kid to watch.
I like all of the episodes lol
I'm With Stupid is a mixed bag for me. It's pretty funny until Patrick starts to take it too far.
I didn’t mind I’m with stupid, and I wasn’t really annoyed with Patrick’s behavior

Even I’ll admit that as a kid, “I’m With Stupid” always rubbed me the wrong way, though I couldn’t articulate why.
The two great aspects about “SpongeBob” as an episodic series is how I can opt to watch some episodes on repeat more than others and the worst ones I’ve seen have bordered on WTF; as in, “what the hell am I watching” or “how did an episode like this come to fruition?”
SpongeBob is going to have his off-days like Mickey or Bugs and that’s okay. I’m at least glad to know he has a welcome presence in my life and he remains a part of my cartoon family.
idk why, but i just find that last line of “I’m with stupid” to be hilarious:
“Oh that’s right janet, we don’t have a son...”
I actually like that episode lol
Silver linings about some of the dishonorable mentions:
SpongeBob and Patrick laughing in boating school then getting separated was kinda relatable. The 24 joke is a classic and so is their wimpy fight. Aside from those details I agree.
Squilliam Returns has some classic jokes. SpongeBob’s brain and May I take your hat sir? The ending was a downer for sure because I wanted to see Squidward succeed after so much effort too. SpongeBob even sacrificed his Metal health.
Squeaky Boots isn’t at the top of my list, but I like it. It’s hilarious whenever Mr. Krabs has a guilty conscience and hilariously struggles to do the right thing. Unlike the soda drinking hat he wasn’t motivated by money.
I have to admit, I love the reference to The Tell-Tale Heart in Squeaky Boots XD
i 100% agree with the “party pooper pants” points, but it’s still def one of my favorite episodes of the series 😂😂
Same! I just like the idea of a party scene and phantom had some good points!
I never understood why the cops arrested him...was it because they weren't invited to his party or was it because he was stuttering so it made him seem suspicious? 🤔
@@shirokumaotaku ikr like cops need to listen more
Yeah I don't like it when SpongeBob got arrested for a stupid reason makes me want there to be a 1 year purge where all crimes except murder, sexual harrasment, and stealing other Legos are legal for 12 hours from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am

Honestly I love The Great Snail Race because it perfectly captures the idea of those parents that push their child to the limits to win a sporting event. And unlike A Pal For Gary, it actually has a happy ending, with Gary falling in love with Snelly and Spongebob actually apologizing. Plus there a lot of funny moments like when it shows Patrick standing on Squidward, or when the fan walks into the commentator's room, when the mayor just picks up the snail to light the torch, and of course the running joke of mispronouncing Squidward's last name.

I think the joke is "Disabled people wear helmets to not injure themselves", implying that Patrick was trying to make SpongeBob look mentally disabled.
I'm pretty sure that he was just supposed to look stupid, though. The joke hasn't aged well.
@@reasyrandom isnt that just his karate helmet tho ???

I think they could have massively improved the episode by having Patrick try to encourage Gary to go back to SpongeBob, and not accuse SpongeBob of failing Gary.
I agree. They could have shown Patrick making an effort to let Gary go back to SpongeBob.

The weirdest thing about Spongebob being tortured in Krabby Land is that it was shown before that Spongebob can't really be physically hurt
That's one of the show's many inconsistencies.
Even though these are the “worst” they are still enjoyable and have some of my favorite moments in them
My favorite joke in the House Party episode is how: A) the band of parrot puppets is the Bird Brains, potentially a riff on Bad Brains, and B) the lead singer of the band (and that episode’s song) is the legendary Lux Interior of the Cramps.
I still haven’t forgotten how mean spirited “I’m with the Stupid”,“Dumped”, and “Grandmas Kisses” were when they first aired.
Some of these episodes still have their gems. Like SpongeBob's Grandma's moral and Patrick's commentary on Jazz.
I found some of these episodes sad rather, and I like it when an episode makes me cry in a strange way.

The Twist of "I'm with Stupid" is what makes the episode, but it's one of the darkest and most controversial morals the show ever ran with. The idea that the truly stupid people are prone to cruelty and are unreachable and best avoided. I can't 100% agree with this idea, but I can't 100% disagree with it either.
I always thought that this show went downhill at a 90 degree angle after the film. Turns out, nostalgia just kept me from seeing that the show always had flaws...
Every shows and movies have flaws, even Breaking Bad had one as well.
Hard disagree, Watch Survival Of The Idiots, Idiot Box, Band Geeks, Snowball Effect, Camping Episode, and so many more and tell me it’s just nostalgia, also the fact that these are the “worst” episodes of that era of Spongebob, proves how truly great that show was back in the day
Spitting facts right here
It did went downhill lol
It went full 180 after the fourth season lol. There are some really bad primetime spongebob episodes and some really good post-prime spongebob episodes, but people make the destinction for a good reason.
"Party Pooper Pants" is a guilty pleasure episode for me. Seeing all of the Spongebob cast together was fun, I laughed at the Patchy segments, and had a blast with. But I do understand why others don't like it.

@Ron Weasley For the most part yeah, him being mean spirited in the parents one tows the line cuz theres still jokes to be had, later seasons when he gets like that he really is insufferable
i've got one thing to say: if a large group of people in a series (animated or not) act like jerks, i will call it now the "Bikini Bottom Syndrome" because that appears to be 100% accurate. literally every single time the civilians of Bikini Bottom are either a bunch of jerks (Grandma's Kisses, The Sponge Who Could Fly) or they're just plain stupid.
Oh god Grandma's Kisses is easily one of the WORST of the Classic Spongebob era....It just...yeah felt so needlessly cruel.
And funny now, that we live in a time where we crave that inner child, that nostalgic time....For the whole town to still make fun of Sponge at the end just felt like "oh okay....ouch." and I feel like that episode would've been better if it had ended right when Sponge and his grandma hug. It would've left a bigger impact, and taught a better lesson to kids-to cherish the time you have with your relatives, especially grandparents cause you never know when the next time you see them is the last.
Pretty much, them just stalking spongebob to laugh about him is just an unnessesary gutpunch.

If Dumped, Rock-a-Bye Little Bivalve, and I’m With Stupid never aired, it’s entirely possible that Patrick never becomes a jerk in later seasons.
Grandma’s Kisses was my least favorite, because of the cruel mockery he got from his peers.
Like Jem Reviews said, at least one of SpongeBob’s grandmothers in this episode was being grandmotherly kind-spirited.
And that’s giving it credit where credit is due.
Fun fact: when I was younger, I dreamed that Spongebob would tell his grandma about everyone mocking him for loving her, and then she'd reveal that she was a veteran and chase them off so that he wouldn't suffer through this again.

I can almost see where they were going with Grandma's Kisses, since I think the overall theme would resonate with older kids wanting to look cool for their friends and giving up their "childhood" status earlier than they would have. The beginning of the episode doesn't actually bother me. The ending is horrible though, it just always made me feel horribly stressed as a kid, because it reminded me that I would have to grow up and leave behind the warmth of being a kid... but then at the same time, you really did feel pathetic watching him have a temper tantrum to that degree, more than any other over the top "crying scene". In general, I just think the original 2002 movie did an infinitely better narrative about forcing yourself to grow up.
That and the growth spurt one are the only two I can say are unwatchable for me.

I must say, these classic Spongebob Episodes are quite nostalgic to me. I remember watching these a lot as a kids, and some of these really did not hit right with me. Looking back, I now know why, and it's not a pretty sight, as you explained.
Not sure if I fully agree with I'm With Stupid, and Dumped. I honestly think that they should've been swapped, because Dumped is an awful lot more unpleasent towards Spongebob then I'm With Stupid is. I'm With Stupid, while Patrick and Company are the absolute worst in the second half of the Episode, the first half is absolutely hilarious for me. Every time I watch the Episode, I just have a wonderful time at whatever it is Spongebob does there. While in Dumped, I just feel absolutely terrible for Spongey. Patrick was at it's worst he can be in the Episode, and Spongey was even more miserable then I have ever seen him in any Episode. Yes, worse then he was in Spongebob You're Fired. It just makes me so sad to see him in that Episode.
I do see why people would consider I'm With Stupid to be the worst Episode of Classic Spongebob, though
I don't know. Spongebob at least gets a good end in dumped. In i'm with stupid, he cannot take it anymore and storms out to protect his sanity.
11:20 actually, she's seen again a few episodes later in the lost episode, where she shows up as Ms. Puff's pet instead, and yet she claims "I've had her since I was a little girl" idk. Just go look at the Ms. Puff theory by alex bale and he'll explain why she has snellie, I won't spoil it
when i saw the ending of "im with stupid", i had a lots of questions
- how did those strangers know that a starfish lived in that rock?
- how did they know his name?
- how did they know about him being dumb?
i mean, if they didnt have any children they had to find out that info SOMEWHERE. right?
That free-form jazz joke is the only thing keeping 'Grandma's Kisses' from getting a lower spot
I'm glad that someone is actually tackling some of the bad older episodes, usually people just assume and say that the older episodes are perfect and the new ones are the ones that are bad.
Bruh there are Episodes from season 4-8 that I liked more than some episodes from 1-3,maybe cuz I grew up with 4-8 but still
Gerald Greg not assume, THINK!!! It's their opinions, dude. Opinions are not facts.
You know something, Strider? I respect your opinion, and I do get the annoyance of the town teasing him, but to me, in context, that was the whole point. The town does not see the value of an adult male being kissed but your grandmother, because THEY find it to be immature, Spongebob tried to tell them that there is nothing wrong with that, but the town kept laughing even more. Especially when the kiss could not come off his forehead. Spongebob, due to his childish nature, has fallen into peer pressure by the town to become "Mature". For me, and a lot of people, "Grandma's Kisses", is essentially an exploration into to spongebob's childish nature. He's always been described as a child in an Adult's body, or vice versa. So having an episode where they talk about what it means to both be a child at heart and an adult in mind, is why this episode resonates with me. Even years later, it still resonates with me.
Patrick's "And then you get behind her and I'll push" line, as though they are gonna commit a kidnapping crime Is hysterical, to his "Have I ever not been right?" to "Freeform Jazz" to Patrick surrending his plan to eat cookies is hysterical, and it is totally within his character to do so, especially when spongebob got mad at him. The crunching that spongebob does when eating steam coral has me in stiches. The scene where spongebob breaks down and wants to be a kid makes perfect sense because he feels as though adult life isn't all that's cracked up to be despite him being an adult himself. It shows that he does not want to pretend being something that he is not, and he feels as though earning his Grandmother's love means acting immature. Children are immature and that IS a side that Spongebob has, believe it or not. Plus, the many gags that Spongebob does when crying, to an actual kitchen sponge, to a water fountain to a lawn sprinkler, is Freaking hilarious, and you can see why the town would be laughing at it as well. Hey, it's a cartoon. What can I say? It was still in good fun. That is why, even when I was a kid, I knew the lesson, I knew that the lesson that the Grandmother told Spongebob was definitely was warranted, and I still laughed with the town in the end, because it was Ironic that they did see what spongebob was up to in the house. Is it mean spirited, sure and they are still in the wrong for doing that, but at the same time, you can't help but laugh at the way spongebob was crying, because it was just so damn funny! Point being, I still respect your opinion, but I will always defend Grandma's Kisses, it is a treasured classic!
Another problem I have with "The Great Snail Race" is the random joke about Sandy planning on attacking SpongeBob. That joke has ZERO purpose.
Spongebob made a sexist joke, Sandy sensed it and it rubbed her the wrong way.
It's not random. Full context taken from an episode transcript:
Spongebob: Looks like we're going to start our training now, ladies! (laughs) I call you a lady to humiliate and demean you. It's a motivational tool we coaches use.
(scene cuts to Sandy walking down the street)
Sandy: Hmm... I don't know why, but I think I'll kick SpongeBob's butt tomorrow.
The joke is that Sandy, Spongebob's most athletic friend, wouldn't be very pleased with Spongebob using a stereotype at her expense. It's like a condensed version of Squirrel Jokes.
