Extremely sorry for the delay, everyone.

This is quite the episode. You probably know how I told you that most of the Vacation marathon was good. This episode was no exception considering it's basically a rip off of Sandy's Rocket.... As far as I know, the only two differences is that things are jolly in this episode and that Patrick isn't here. I don't care because, for some reason, I hated Patrick in Sandy's Rocket. If you would've put Patrick's bad character in that episode and added that to a POST-MOVIE episode, this wouldn't be on my list. Luckily, the only 2 big characters in this story are SpongeBob and Sandy. It is a very simple episode, and I like that. Also, the depiction of the moon in this episode makes ME want to go on the moon. Sadly, I'm afraid of heights.

This would have been higher on this list, but there were quite a bit of characters that are out of character. SpongeBob is lazy, Mr. Krabs doesn't care about his feelings, and Patrick ignores everything when he's supposed to be focusing on the situation being covered at the moment. Luckily, the characters are extremely overshadowed by the very creative plot, the misunderstandably funny gags, and the premise with Gary considering he's the only "good" character in this 2-part special.

First of all, that title card is pretty much a flash into the past.
Second of all, I'm kind of ashamed of liking this episode this much. I mean that I really like this episode. If this episode was pre-movie, it would fit into those masses. It's that good. It's still not so good that it deserves a spot in the top 40, of course. I never said this episode has absolutely no flaws, either. To put it in perspective, SpongeBob and Patrick were a bit moronic in this episode, especially in the beginning. The difference is that this is innocent stupidity (in a way) so I can make that slide. No, the real problem with this episode is the overly large amount of redundancies in this episode, including when SpongeBob shows us that oxygen tank. For some reason, that joke made me angry. There were other excessive redundancies that I don't feel like talking about. Set that aside, and this episode is one of the best post-movie episodes.

If Bubble Troubles was the entree of season 8, then this would be the dessert. It is much sweeter in the sort that Karen finally has a spotlight position in an episode, which was creative all on its own. I also call it sweet because this episode does not take itself seriously at all which may cause some slip-ups, but also produces lots of funny jokes which take it all over. I'm almost completely sure that the writers chose, for fun, to make an episode which was just a bunch of stuff jumbled together and see how it turns out. It turns out that they made a SpongeBob episode sorbet. The land food gag was my favorite of them all since it's pretty much making fun of our food. That step off the boundaries in a cartoon like SpongeBob is amazing.
