Comment: Here's another one that I'd put around the 40s or 50s on this list. I don't think I've ever really liked this one, but it wasn't for the same reasons that I do now. We all know how SpongeBob, in the post-movie era, can be extremely oblivious at times. Sure, he's been oblivious to a degree before the movie. Take "As Seen on TV" for an example. But his situation misinterpretation didn't last throughout practically the entire episode. Here, it does. And the sheer obliviousness is to a degree that we've never seen before. It's only the beginning...
After a guy named Ned from "Ned and the Needlefish" loses his wig after it flies out the window, it lands on SpongeBob's head, and he thinks it's the most beautiful thing on the planet. Despite everyone laughing at him, he takes it as a compliment. I still think it's rude of the Bikini Bottomties to laugh it him like that, though. Believe me, I know what it feels like, because I'm constantly around people who like to make fun of people's clothes/accessories. That's why my mom and my grandma watched "Say Yes to the Dress." But they keep their comments to themselves. Here, the big-balled Bikini Bottomites aren't afraid to insult SpongeBob right in his face. In a good episode where SpongeBob is insulted like "Grandma's Kisses" (I still hate the Bikini Bottomties in that episode), Bobby will feel humiliated and want to stand up for himself. Here, he only feels like people are JEALOUS of his wig. It's so ridiculous how he can't come to the realization that no one likes it. And I don't blame 'em. I thought Squidward's wig in "Professor Squidward" was ugly, but this... Dear lord! >_< It's annoying, too, because he won't even take this ugly, hair-infested wig off to cook, which gets hair all over the patties! I think if SpongeBob's was in chracter in this episode, he would have taken the wig off, because he normally wants patties to be their best.
None of the other characters are that bad, but none are redeeming. Patrick's segment bores me to death, Mr. Krabs and Squidward are OK, but don't really help SpongeBob take that stupid thing off, even after Squidward convinces him that the wig is infested with parasites. Also, it confused me when Squidward wasn't excited about having a wig, considering he was looking at them at the end of "Something Smells." But enough references to episodes! Sandy is perhaps my favorite character in this episode, but she confuses me. The first time she sees the wig, she fins it too hilarious to handle, but the next time she sees SpongeBob with the wig on, she reacts to it like she's seen it a million times. But, she is trying to prove a point: SpongeBob's wig is butt-ugly. So she takes him to the movies to prove it. And when Sandy and another Bikini Bottomite try to tell SpongeBob that his wig is blocking the movie screen, SpongeBob responds with, "It's rude to talk during the movie!" and then when EVERYONE starts yelling at him, he says "I know my wig is glamorous yada yada..." this utter obliviousness is NOT funny. Not in the slightest of ways. When Sandy tells SpongeBob to get rid of his wig (and does), all of the sudden, everyone starts wearing the same wig because Ned and the Needlefish are now popular, even though they had gotten fired previously. Um wtf? The REAL reason this upsets me, though, is because some of the Bikini Bottomites that are wearing this wigs made fun of SpongeBob <.< And somehow SpongeBob knows that these fishies made fun of him. Sandy never TOLD him they did, but that's because the episode dragged on with SpongeBob being a ::dolphin noise:: idiot.
In conclusion, this episode is just very annoying. It has its good jokes, like when the Bikini Bottomites start a riot at the movies, all running out, and one of the employees goes, "I told you that movie was terrible." But there are also some bad jokes, like when Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob not to bring the wig to work ever again, and says "No buts." SpongeBob replies with, "So I can't wear a wig OR a butt?" <.< Pazza, out!
