Don't worry, I fixed that part. :)

Also, other than "lol jk we cool :P", what you said sounds a LOT like something Squidward would say. :P

I know it does. We really are way too much alike. :P
 
I’m about to post the Number 1 episode, but before that, TIME FOR A RECAP!

25 Porous Pockets A rather decent episode with a solid plot and a nice moral. Other than a few dents, this is actually not a bad episode.

24 The Slumber Party and For Here or To Go tied An actually funny episode that DOESN’T make Pearl look like a spoiled brat! Now that’s a plus alone! / A disappointing episode that had the potential to be really creative, but didn’t give me a really fun feeling.

23 I Was A Teenage Gary One of the First 3 Seasons LEAST popular episodes. A really uncomfortable, depressing, hard-to-watch mess that certainly deserves the rank of one of the worst Old Episodes.

22 BlackJack Really? You build up an intense, scary plot with Spongebob against his big cousin Blackjack, only for Blackjack to be tiny in the end? Not only is that stupid, but it’s a really big plothole for the episode.

21 Truth or Square Oh my god, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t really disappointed by the lies the ads brought to us. Thank god the rest of the episode saves it from being one of the worst.

20 Blackened Sponge Ehh… Not really an episode I’d put in MY bottom 20, but it can get pretty dumb at times.

19 The Sponge Who Could Fly My new least favorite special. Man, can the Bikini Bottomites become big, selfish jerks.

18 Sentimental Spongebob An episode that could be relatable, if it weren’t for the fact that Spongebob goes WAY too far with his sentimental value!

17 Ghost Host Not the best Flying Dutchman episode, but I’m not afraid to say that I liked it quite a bit.

16 To Squarepants or NOT To Squarepants Wait. This is a special? Certainly doesn’t feel like one!

15 House Fancy This is easily the best episode on this countdown. Other than the toenail scene, the episode as a whole is one of the few episodes on the countdown that I disagree with being on the list at all.

14 The Original Frycook and The Thing tied Seriously, Krabs? You neglect your poor frycook just to praise your old one? You are a HORRIBLE boss! / Ehh… To me, my biggest gripe with this episode is being kind of dumb. Sure, there was Squid Abuse, but it’s pretty tame compared to episodes like Tentacle-Vision and Smoothe Jazz In Bikini Bottom.

13 Slide Whistle Stooges So if Squidward has a little fun without offending anybody, he needs to die, yet when Spongebob and Patrick make fun of the sick and dying, they get off scot free?! WHAT KIND OF SICK WRITING IS THAT?!?!

12 Grooming Gary Another one that I disagree with. The episode is actually a really great one with an excellent moral at the end. At least the abuse isn’t as bad as in The Great Snail Race!

11 Good Ol’ Whatshisname Squidward is bad. The cops are bad. Mr. Krabs is bad. EVERYBODY’S BAD!!!

10 Pineapple Fever I thought I was going to hate it, but it’s actually much better than I expected! Although there is toenail 2.0, and although it has some annoying gags, it’s actually pretty funny and unique at times!

9 The Krusty Sponge Torturing the innocent and rewarding the bad guys is not funny. It’s horrible!

8 Professor Squidward Before you say ‘THIS IS SQUIDWARD TORTURE’, let me tell you a few words, three to be exact: HE DESERVED IT.

7 Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful Not what I’d call a Squidward Torture episode, but god, can that cop get any more irritating?

6 The Clash of Triton My second least favorite special. Stupid characters, false ads, and a really insulting and angering backstory to go with it.

5 Big Sister Sam, Spongebob You’re Fired and Sponge-cano! tied This is the epitome of meh. Sister Sam destroys stuff and leaves, and that’s basically it. Not good, but not bad either. Just MEH. / Hmmm… An episode that rips off a bunch of other episodes, makes some of my favorite characters utterly detestable, is loaded with LOTS of filler, and has a sub-plot that goes nowhere, and these writers dare call it a special. What the heck? If it weren’t for Spongebob and Squidward, this would be on my bottom ten. / Oh boy. We get a promising, dramatic, dark episode that makes you feel good at first, but then takes all the good feeling away so cruelly.

4 Trenchbillies The 3rd worst LoBB episode. Sloppy writing, one of the biggest plotholes in history, and really disgusting redneck stereotypes to top it all off.

3 To Love A Patty Oh god. This episode is just creepy! Spongebob falls in love with a Krabby Patty and treats it like a real girlfriend! And it just gets worse when you realize that this seems to base itself on people who are so depressed and lonely that they make their own "friends" out of inanimate objects!!! Just… WHY?!?!??!?!?

2 Are You Happy Now? Meh. Not really good, but there are a few good things about it that keep it from being completely mediocre. Maybe if the suicide jokes weren’t there, this probably wouldn’t be hated as much.


And the Number 1 WORST episode you all voted for is…!

[SIZE=72pt]#1[/SIZE]
Squid%27s_Visit.jpg


So this is the worst episode. I’ve gotten so many votes for this episode, and almost every one of those votes ended up in the Bottom 3! Well, what do I have to say about it? Well, it’s… pretty debatable actually.

The episode opens up with Squidward and Spongebob at the Krusty Krab, when it’s near closing time. Spongebob then asks Squidward to visit his house. But Squidward declines. But even after that, Spongebob goes back and cries for him to come to house!

Spongebob: (starts crying) Oooooooh PLEASE come over for a visit, Squidward! It’s been so long that I can’t even remember your last visit!!

Good god, it’s like Spongebob is trying to ask Squidward out for a date!

But even after many attempts at convincing Squidward to visit him, Squidward says NO every time. But since apparently Season 6 Spongebob doesn’t know what “no” means, he decides to go a rather dark direction. He steals Squidward’s vacuum cleaner, and Squidward calls him. Spongebob says he “borrowed” it, and rather than calling the cops, Squidward comes over, only to find that the interior of Spongebob’s house is exactly the same as Squidward’s! Squidward sits on his sofa and tries to calm himself down, considering the fact that he’s a little creeped out by now! It gets even creepier when Squidward explores the replica of his house’s interior and finds that EVERY SINGLE DETAIL IS MATCHING WITH HIS OWN HOUSE!

Squidward: [gasps] How did he do it? [pans across Squidward's coffee table] He got my coffee table, my vase, snack table, coasters, and my Art of the Clarinet Coffee Table Book. [he picks up the pillow SpongeBob was fluffing]. And this pillow looks just like the one Mommy made for me. He even copied her stitch signature! "For Squiddy, with love, Mama."

Squidward: [peeks through an entrance in the hallway] My hallway... [blinks as he sees a dent in the wall] Dear Neptune! [shivers, shudders, sweats and blinks]. He even got the chip in the paint from when I moved in! [he shudderly walks down the hallway]. Okay, Squiddy.Don't get creeped out. Just get the vacuum cleaner and go home. [opens a door]. Oh, right. Isn't this neat? My bathroom. [he flushes the toilet, and water comes out like a fountain.He walks over to the sink]. I have to give him credit, though.Every detail is correct. [opens the medicine cabinet]. How does he know the exact contents of my medicine cabinet?

Umm… This is getting a little creepy. Spongebob had been able to memorize every single detail in Squidward’s house, so he copied every single one of them! He copied the décor. He copied every position. He even got Squidward’s stuff right! He did all of this just to get Squidward to come to his house?

…

IT’S OFFICIAL! SPONGEBOB IS A PSYCHO!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crPl0ITIkS0

I mean, this is terrifying! This is not as bad as To Love A Patty, but still. And because of all this, Squidward is slowly losing his sanity.

So Squidward gets ticked off, and then Spongebob comes in with some toothpaste (I don’t remember), startling Squidward, causing him to have a slapstick accident which ends up with him falling head-first into the toilet bowl, knocking him unconscious.

Squidward: [sleeping on a pillow on the couch his Mom made for him. He then wakes up, and gasps, looking both ways, then sighs peacefully]. Oh, what a horrible nightmare!

Oh, if only, Squidward.

[SIZE=12pt]·[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [SpongeBob pops up from behind the couch]. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] SpongeBob: So, are you enjoying your stay at 'Chez Spongè?' [Squidward screams rocking the entire house.][/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]When someone gets you to “visit” them and you find that they’ve copied your entire house to fit theirs, and THEY’RE FINE WITH IT, you better run![/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Squidward runs away from Spongebob and into the hallway. He goes into “his” art room, and finds that Spongebob has even copied all of his paintings. He starts huddling in a ball, but then he comes to the idea that maybe Spongebob doesn’t really have all Squidward’s stuff, and that it’s all mimicry. He goes to the nearest closet, and finds his vacuum cleaner. After trying to pull it out, he has ANOTHER accident, causing him to fall down the stairs. He brings his vacuum cleaner outside, along with his remaining sanity, until he finds out that his house burned down. The reason for this is that Squidward was baking a casserole earlier, but then he forgot about it when he went over to Spongebob’s house, and get this, Spongebob is smiling! What the heck? He’s smiling, even though his neighbor’s house just burned to the ground. You know, I normally would enjoy seeing Spongebob smile, but this just makes me want to shoot him.[/SIZE]

SpongeBob: Aw, don't worry. You're more than welcome to stay at my home until you get your house fixed.

And in response to that, Squidward loses all of his remaining sanity, and in his mind, he’s… oh god. He’s having tea with the vacuum cleaner.

Squidward: (pulls out a tray of burnt casserole) CARE FOR SOME CASSEROLE?!?!?

Eeyup. He’s lost it. And the episode finally ends with Squidward sleeping in his replica, and Spongebob (with Gary) sleeping outside.

Well, to be perfectly honest, it’s not all that bad. One reason people hate this is because it’s too dark. Umm, hello? Did everyone forget the Nasty Patty, where Spongebob and Mr. Krabs try to bury a “dead” body without anyone noticing? Not only that, but other cartoons have at least one dark episode. To me, this episode is not nearly as disturbing as some of Ren and Stimpy. And personally, I actually like the darker atmosphere. It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten a creepy episode like this.

Another reason people hate this is because of Squid Abuse, as well as Spongebob’s characterization, which is what conflicts this episode in the good/bad category. I mean, Squidward slowly loses his sanity all because of his crazy neighbor, and when he finally regains his sanity, his house has burned down, causing him to lose his sanity all over again! And Spongebob? Well, let’s just say that’s it’s not exactly pleasant seeing my favorite cartoon character act as mentally ill as he was here. I mean, he copied the entirety of Squidward’s house from top to bottom (in the interior, at least) for god’s sakes! His characterization may not be as bad as it was in To Love A Patty, but it’s still bad.

So, while I don’t necessarily consider this the worst episode of the series (or one of my bottom 25 worst), I can completely understand why it would make this spot. Even though the dark atmosphere is rather intriguing, the Squidward Torture is way too high, and Spongebob goes up to a level of insanity that’s terrifying! I mean, an episode that pleases me a lot, and at the same time bothers me a lot? WHAT IS THIS EPISODE EVEN?


So that’s it for SBM’s Top 25 Worst Spongebob Episodes. And to you all, Squid’s Visit is considered one of the most universally hated episodes of the series. But this special edition isn’t over yet! It’s only half done! Stay tuned for when I begin SBM’s Top 25 BEST Spongebob Episodes! (but before that, I’ll be giving a SPECIAL review)


Oh, and if I were to arrange these episodes from best to worst (IMO), this is how it would look (and in case you’re wondering, Green means disagreeable choice, Orange either means either meh, or decent, but I can understand it, Purple means mediocre, and Red means bad or horrible:

#26. House Fancy

#25. Grooming Gary

#24. The Slumber Party

#23. Porous Pockets

#22. Ghost Host

#21. Truth or Square

#20. Pineapple Fever

#19. For Here or To Go?

#18. The Thing

#17. To Squarepants or NOT To Squarepants and Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful tied

#16. Blackened Sponge

#15. Blackjack

#14. Squid’s Visit

#13. I Was A Teenage Gary

#12. Are You Happy Now?

#11. Professor Squidward

#10. Big Sister Sam

#7. The Original Frycook

#6. The Clash of Triton

#5. The Sponge Who Could Fly

#4. The Krusty Sponge

#2. Good Ol’ WhathisName

And my Number one choice is…!

#1. BOTH Sponge-cano! and To Love A Patty With all I’ve been through, with all the episodes I’ve watched from this countdown, Sponge-cano and To Love A Patty are easily some of the absolute worst in the series, so bad that they go out of their way to make you hate them as much as possible. (Both are on my Bottom Ten BTW)

I'm also really excited about the best episodes list. The worst episodes were pretty obvious (everyone count episodes like A Pal For Gary and To Love a Patty to be bad), but the arguements of the best episodes are much more interesting.

Squid's Visit........ Ahhhh, the episode that makes SpongeBob seem like a stalker. Great :)



@_@
 
Is this next list going to have a decent amount of Post-Movie episodes? All pre-Movie may make it seem used.

While the majority of the best list is pre-movie, there are (SPOILERS) 3 post-movie episodes, and 4 honorable mentions. :)

My guess for the 7 episodes would be-

Krusty Towers
New Digs/Krabs a la Mode (I doubt that both will be on the list)
Sand Castles in the Sand
A Pal For Gary Squidward in Clarinetland
A Friendly Game
Planet of the Jellyfish
Plankton's Pet

EDIT: The three episodes that are actually on the list are.. I don't know.. I guess Krusty Towers, A Friendly Game, Plankton's Pet.
 
Aw, that sucks. But at least we see some.

My guesses...

On list
Krusty Towers
The Lost Mattress
Have You Seen This Snail?

Honorable Mentions
Planet of the Jellyfish
Sand Castles in the Sand
Krabs à la Mode or New Digs
Wishing You Well

This is different than what I would pick, though. (400th post)
 
Gonna randomly guess here and say:
Ones on the List:

Krusty Towers
Friend or Foe
Have You Seen This Snail

Honorable mentions:

Sing a Song of Patrick
Dunces and Dragons
Krabs a la Mode
Probably another Season 4 episode like "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired"
