Hey everybody! A lot of people do this and don't finish them. I got inspired by Roadie to do this. Anyways, I'll be reviewing every single episode, short and special and then, we shall determine what my favorite episode really is! Similar to Roadie's list, I will put all the episodes on a 1-20 list to see my top 20, 15, 10, and 5 episodes when we are finished with this list. I watch the episode before reviewing, so you can really see what i think of it at that moment. So anyways, I'll review an episode pair whenever I can. A major note here is that i am very busy on certain days, so I will most likely not be able to review an episode everyday on weekdays, weekends, I can get more into.
Grading Scale:
10.0/10.0 = Perfect
9.0/10.0-9.9/10.0 = Amazing
8.9/10.0-8.5/10.0= Great
8.4/10.0-8.0/10.0= Good
7.9/10.0-7.0/10.0= Decent
6.9/10.0-6.5/10.0= Okay
6.4/10.0-6.0/10.0= Meh
5.9/10.0-5.0/10.0= Mediocre
4.9/10.0-4.0/10.0= Bad
3.9/10.0-3.0/10.0= Awful
2.9/10.0-2.0/10.0= Horrible
1.9/10.0-1.0/10.0= Terrible
0.9/10.0-0.0/10.0= Unwatchable and can die in a fire for all I care.
So I hope you guys enjoy my list! Here's the first review: (The Help Wanted title card is displaying weirdly and making a huge space, so please ignore that.)
Plot: SpongeBob gets hired at The Krusty Krab
The very first episode really does introduce the whole show to you, SpongeBob gets hired at The Krusty Krab, where we would see him a lot in the following 15 years. The episode was actually made in 1997, and it's one of the two episodes the creator, Steven Hillenburg wrote. Anyways, I'll cut all this out and actually review the episode. We are introduced to the yellow optimistic sponge who lives in a pineapple. So SpongeBob runs out convinced he would get hired at The Krusty Krab. He thinks he can't do it until Patrick goes to him and tells him that he can defiantly work at The Krusty Krab. Yes, Patrick, a moronic and sometimes unlikeable character just convinced SpongeBob that he can do this. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna go ahead and say the modern-day Patrick would never do that. In these earlier episodes, Patrick wasn't a complete idiot, just lazy and a bit clumsy.
To be honest, so far this episode hasn't really tried at humor and was a bit bland at first. The episode has been a good introduction to the characters, though. Anyways, back to the episode. Squidward, who also works at the KK does not want SB at his job, so he tell Mr. Krabs about him and that he should not be hired. So they tell SpongeBob to go and get a "Hydro-Dynamic Spatula with starboard attachments and turbo drive. Then, anchovies invade the KK and try to buy a ton of Krabby Patties. SB actually finds the spatula and saves the day by making a million Krabby Patties accompanied by the most fitting music ever. This part was quite funny just because of the music. SB is then hired for saving their lives, much to Squidward's dismay.
This episode was very early, and had a pretty different character design then what we would see in the future. I do like the old animation, to be honest :) This episode was pretty good at introducing the character's personalities (other than Krabs, he only was in love with his money for a moment) it wasn't that humorous but when it was, it turned out pretty well.
Best Character: SpongeBob
Best Quote: Tie between "I want my mommy Mr. Squidward!" and "I'll prove I'm fry cook material! Just ask Squidward!" *walks away with Mr. Krabs and breathes in* "No."
Best Moment: Anchovy food frenzy
7.5/10.0
Decent
Plot: SpongeBob and Squidward use reef blowers to get a shell of their lawns
A lot of people do not like this episode, due to it's shortness and lack of dialogue. In fact, the microphones did not work during the production of this episode, which explains the lack of any talking. So, it's pretty simple. SpongeBob and Squidward are trying to be rid of a shell on their lawns and they mess around with reef blowers. There's not that much to say, other than i hate the lack of talking. Whenever I say this, people bring Tom & Jerry to the case, but T&J had action and violence which made up for that and last time I checked, playing with reef blowers is not very violent. It's very boring and now interesting at all, I wouldn't watch it again. The episode is very bland and I'll just say it right now: it's not gonna be on the top 20. Music is nice, though :) You can't do much without dialogue, so it has a bit of an excuse for having a low score.
Best Character: SpongeBob
Best Quote: ....Okay fine, "You!"
Best Moment: None really, it's 2 minutes long.

Plot: SpongeBob meets Sandy, and she invites him over for tea, but she breathes air, and SB cannot.
In this episode we are introduced to Sandy, a character that i like very much. It begins with SpongeBob jellyfishing when he overhears screaming. He runs to the screaming and meets Sandy, battling a clam. She talks about how she lives in air, and SpongeBob, who has no idea what air is says he likes it, so Sandy invites him to her house because apparently he likes air. Patrick says that she is just using fancy talk and to be fancy, you have to keep your pinky up (AKA saying FU in China) SpongeBob goes to Sandy's and finds himself to be very dry. He tries not to absorb all the water in the water fountain and in a vase, constantly saying "I don't need it!"
What I didn't like was that Sandy didn't even know that SpongeBob had dried up and is clearly in need of help. Patrick also joins in and gets dry in like 2 seconds, which was unfair for him. So then Sandy gives them tea in helmets so they can survive, the episode is mostly made up of SB getting through the dryness, but it was overall not too bad. I like Sandy, but I disliked how she didn't even react to SB in pain.
The concept of SpongeBob and friends dry and out of water is a fun thing to do when your characters live out of water, but this episode wasn't very fun at all. The main thing I would like in an episode is for it to be funny, I want humor.
Best Character: Patrick
Best Quote: "When in doubt, pinky out!"
Best Moment: None

Well our first pair was pretty meh, I wasn't much of a big fan of the show's earliest episodes. The upcoming episodes are big improvements. We'll go blow bubbles and hope not to rip our pants!

The episode begins with SpongeBob and Sandy at Goo Lagoon, where there is a weight-lifting competition. Since SpongeBob can't even hold a 1-pound weight, he uses marshmallows, again exaggerating his weakness. He can hardly even hold marshmallows on a stick, so he rips his pants, which everybody laughs at. Scooter tells him that it's funny, so SpongeBob gets the idea of repeating the same thing over and over, seriously, this whole episode is mostly SpongeBob ripping his pants in different scenarios.
