Comment: Speaking of episodes I used to like, here's one! I used to think that despite Mrs. Puff's harshness, it still came across as funny to me. Well, I can say I disagree with that no. This episode is just plain old mean spirited. Who thought this was a good idea for an episode? One new writer, one older writer, and one that's been around since the beginning. Luke, Marc, and Derek. Why is it so mean spirited, you may ask? Well, this review will show you!
The episode starts off with SpongeBob messing up Squidward's garden. I'm glad that scene only lasted for a second. I was worried the first time I watched this episode, thinking something against Squidward would happen. But no, it was against another tortured character, Mrs. Puff. She puffs up after SpongeBob crashed into two boats, which causes the boat to go airborne and become juxtaposed with a lighthouse. SpongeBob decides to crash into the lighthouse even after Mrs. Puff's demands to stay away from the wheel. It's very common in Season 8, which I think might be the worst season in terms of characters, that SpongeBob is in a state of oblivion. Turns out that the accident ruptured Mrs. Puff's air sac, so she will look like a prune for the rest of her life. Wow. SpongeBob must feel ashamed of what he has done after he sees what horrible shape Mrs. Puff is in. Nope, he instead thinks she looks better like a prune, and says they should start calling her Mrs. Pop! Okay, that line, as evil as it was, made me laugh. But seriously? How could Robert be THAT stupid to not notice his teacher who he adores is in pain.
As of this point, I feel really bad for Mrs. Puff, because this is complete torture for her. Worse than "Summer Job" which didn't make the list, by the way. She is then brought flowers that she has an allergic reaction to, from SpongeBob, who else? The room is also very dark inside, which might symbolize depression? A bit over the top for a kid's show. But you ain't seen nothin' yet! For some reason unknown, there is a demolition derby in the freaking hospital! Forced for the plot, doncha think? Instead of injured/sick patients recovering, they "risk their lives for our amusement!" Think that's horrible? Well, earlier in the episode, Mrs. Puff had wished that SpongeBob would graduate out of her life. She also wanted that in Season 2's "No Free Rides." In a good episode like "No Free Rides," Mrs. Puff would come up with a fake test to get Robert out of her life. In this episode, the thought of risking lives gives her the idea to kill her failing student! This isn't helped by the fact that she looks like the offspring of Waluigi and an underweight grandmother. It's also a shame because Mrs. Puff wasn't really a bad character up to this point.
Puffy-poo tries hard to get SpongeBob into the demoltion derby with boatmobiles. This horrible plan works perfectly for Mrs. Puff, as SpongeBob can't drive a boatmobile to save his life... to save his life, oh the irony. :rofl2: Because SpongeBob is the main character, he can't
possibly lose this derby! Fine with me. All of the sudden, I'm on SpongeBob's side. Sure he was a jerk wad to Mrs. Puff without even noticing it, but he doesn't deserve to get KILLED. I'm
definitely on his side after the psychotic puffer fish screams out a question to SpongeBob. The question was why he wasn't DEAD. Mrs. Puff's OOCness only gets worse. She goes ape ::dolphin noise:: and tries to kill SpongeBob with a giant plow machine. The episode rushes to the end, just like my review, Mrs. Puff puffs up again (somehow, at least no one can bash the show for continuity), and everything is back to normal! Except Mrs. Puff, for one, doesn't get what she deserves: jail time. :steamedvegetable:
