Unfortunately an episode I just can't find myself liking. Obviously the squeaking ruins it for everyone, including me, but even ignoring the squeaking sound, the plot just isn't compelling enough for me. I am not really interested in Mr. Krabs getting annoyed, because I am annoyed too. I am too annoyed to find the gags that funny. The squeaking is so bad, it literally ruins both comedy and story. I see some attempt at freak out sequence, but an episode like Squid's Day Off did that way better, and it made way more sense that time. Him eating the boots is comedic, but kind of weird, and makes me feel more disturbed than I already am. When both aspects of an episode are ruined, it screams bad, and unfortunately, I have to call it as such. It's very close to being just OK, but there are no aspects from this episode that I find myself interested in. The biggest thing I'm hooked on is the squeaking stopping, and even that is handled weirdly. I think this is the first appearance of Pearl, and it's not the best starter episode to be real with you.
I thought that this episode was BAD: 3.9/10
