I don't know why, but that episode has a stupid amount of deleted scenes.
On a side note, which episodes do you consider the best and worst animated?

Early season 4 is the best animated, episodes like the Lost Matress, Skill Crane, and Funny Pants. The worst animated would have to be season eight, it’s as stiff as a board. The ugliest however would have to be post sequel.
 
For me...
C.H. Greenblatt episodes look the best. Episodes like Something Smells, As Seen on TV and Fear of a Krabby Patty look amazing. As for the WORST, well, Season 7 and 8 look REALLY boring (I don't actually mind post sequel) but Season 6 looks the worst. Boating Buddies might just be the worst animated episode in the series.

As Seen on TV is markerbob and CH Greenblatt. Greenblatt episodes with normal animation are The Algea’s Always Greener, Doing Time, and I Had an Accident. Some other markerbob episodes that are Greenblatt are Wet Painters and Mid Life Crustacean.
 
Patrick never appeared in a episode in Markerbob that was done by C.H. Greenblat (I think)...
 
In my opinion, Season 12's facial expressions are just annoying and sometimes overdone to the point of trying to get laughs of them.

I will defend Season 6's facial expressions though, at least they didn't overuse and overdid them like with Season 12...
 
Yeah, but the Season 6 facial expressions are far worse. Season 12 facial expressions can be a distraction at worst. The Season 6 facial expressions can be genuine nightmare fuel.

Yeah, I get where you are coming from (like that episode where Squidward is stuck at Spongebob's house with Patrick during a storm).
 
Yes, sometimes I forget the names of episodes so I try to describe it...
 
In the newer Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, the characters' frowns are way wider than they were in the old ones.

Looks weirdly like Season 6 Squidward...
 
Snoopy's designs

Protosnoopy - This design was for Snoopy in the 50s. Although, he did get his 60s design in the late 50s.

Retrosnoopy - Snoopy looks a bit differently shaped than the later designs, and has a small nose and a thin neck and ear. Used in most of the 60s.

Transitsnoopy - Used around the end of the 60s, this isn't too different from the other styles, but sticks out in its own way. It looks like a mix of Retrosnoopy and Premodernsnoopy. His nose is a bit bigger and he has bigger ears, but he still has a thin neck and the back of his head is differently shaped. This style was used in A Boy Named Charlie Brown (which is actually an amazing film. Seriously, watch it)

Premodernsnoopy - This style was used in the 70s and some of the 80s. Snoopy is starting to look like Modernsnoopy, but his ear is a bit thinner.
