Which episodes tug at your heartstrings? Which episodes make you cry? I'm a sentimentalist so my list is pretty long. Here's my list- tell me yours!
1- Fools in April
Why- The prank that Squidward pulled on Spongebob... and the way Spongebob cries and runs off. It breaks my poor little heart. The part where Squidward apologizes is so, so sweet.
2- Pizza Delivery
Why- The mean customer yells at Spongebob, throws the pizza in his face after all his hard work... and Spongebob cries. Made all the sweeter when Squidward stands up for the little guy. I work in customer service, and there have been times where I've been yelled at so badly by a customer that I cried. This episode is hard to watch when you're an adult.
3- Hooky
Why- This episode isn't actually sad, but there's one scene that breaks my heart every time. When Krabs thinks that Sponge and Pat have been taken by the hooks, he blames himself, and starts to cry. Oh, that really hurts to listen to... Poor Krabs.
4- The Chaperone
Why- The scene where Spongebob accidentally ruined Pearl's prom and he runs away in tears. Poor little guy.
5- Christmas Who
Why- The entire climax. Santa doesn't show up, Spongebob gets yelled at by random people, Squidward taunts him so badly that he bursts into tears, he gives Squidward a present despite how much of a jerk he's been, and he slowly walks away, sobbing like a tiny kid. And then, from there, the rest of the episode is so heartwarming that it brings tears to my eyes. Squidward is a good guy, very deep down.
6- Dying for Pie
Why- I don't know if other people cry at this episode, but I do. When Squidward thinks that Spongebob has passed away, Squidward bawls his eyes out and remarks, tearfully, "Well... at least I was able to make his last few hours meaningful..." I'm honestly tearing up just thinking about that scene. A very close friend of mine passed away unexpectedly five years ago, so maybe that's why I respond so emotionally to scenes like this.
7- Artist Unknown
Why- Squidward crushes Spongebob's self esteem and Spongebob literally ends up in the dump and cries.
8- Squeaky Boots
Why- The whole scene of Spongebob crying because he "lost the boots." I don't know why, but that scene always gets me...
9- Nature Pants
Why- I hate hate HATE watching Patrick cry. I'm kind of used to seeing Spongebob cry, but when Patrick cries, it makes me want to give up all hope and cry with him.
10- Home Sweet Pineapple
Why- Do I need an explanation?
11- Have You Seen This Snail?
Why- Anyone... ANYONE who has lost a pet will be heartbroken, and relieved, by this episode. I shed tears of grief AND joy at this one.
12- Patrick SmartPants
Why- Spongebob and Patrick lose their common ground, and their friendship drifts apart. We see them seperately, in their own houses, weeping over photo albums as they remember the times that came before.
13- Hello Bikini Bottom
Why- Aaron Springer was a writer on Spongebob since the very beginning. He worked on this show for over a deccade- 13 years- writing some of the most beloved episodes, including the infamous "Band Geeks." This was his very last episode. As if that weren't sad enough, the episode concludes with Spongebob and Squidward performing a duet called "Never Give Up," which ends with Spongebob on ukulele and Squidward on clarinet.... and Squidward's playing has never sounded so beautiful.
