Worst Spongebob design?

I don't like the designs in season 6, especially in episodes like Pets or Pests and Choir Boys.
 
i hate jumping on bandwagons but...

yea season 6.

i love the season 1 design, though. something about it just looks... charming to me
 
Wet Painters SpongeBob Design: That was very inconsistant in coloring a few times it´s very obvious it changes colors from yellow to a dull yellow green. The desing is fine but the coloring ugh so off.
 
Season 6 is very unappealing to the eye. SpongeBob’s many stances just look boring and bland in this season. He often looks so artificial and robotic that his face manages to look like it was simply copy-and-pasted onto his body. I had originally considered that season 8 looked the most ugly, but upon further inspection, I decided that season 6 was deserving of the title.

Also, what the HECK is going on with legs here?
You never see him sit like this!
Plus, it defies simple logic.
His legs should move, not his pant legs.

Yeah, I think season 6 is the most ugly. But the most bland looking is Late season 7, the animation looks so stiff and bland, and everything looks so rigid. It's especailly an eyesore when watching it in standard definition. The Legends of Bikini Bottom half is when the animation went downhill. Early season 7 actually had plesent and smooth looking animation. Late season 7 looks like somebody poured a bottle of vinegar all over the TV.

Notice how crisp and fluent early season 7 looks:

Late Season 7 is bland and robot stiff, and looks indistinguishable from season 8. I sometimes get these seasons mixed up:

There are at least 50 episodes in Seasons 7 & 8 that have this art style


My favorite SpongeBob desgin used in the series is the thick-line episodes that were in seasons 2 & 3, also known as markerbob:

It may have been ridgid. But it was uniquely drawn, and had so many funny facail expressions. I also love how the outlines in the markerbob episodes vary in thickness. SpongeBob's squiggles and his cheeks are bolder than the lines for his arms. Because seasons 2 & 3 were animated on a different digital ink and painting software than post-movie and post 2nd movie episodes, they can't ever do markerbob ever again, which makes me sad.
