Obligatory

Was not a bad episode

HEY YOU

WIMPY WIMPY WIMPY! OOOOH, THE LITTLE PEANUT WORM.

Some of the episodes towards the end of season 3 were a bit meh and lopsided. But I can forgive them since they were focusing more on the movie at the time.

THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE DULL AND DIM, WHENEVER THEY HAVE TO BE OVER STUPID DUMB OL' TEXAS

I can't decide. Maybe pizza delivery, home sweet pineapple or maybe band geeks.

I thought The Sponge Who Could Fly was rather lackluster.

Fuck seasons 1-3. This episode is a masterpiece.

DELETE THIS

>season 3
I loved season 1 and 2, but it died to me with season 3 if I remember right.

That episode when Spongebob goes naked to live with the jellyfishes was pretty bad,

>not a single bad episode
Season 1, Episode 13b;
I Was a Teenage Gary

the fetish fuel episode, duhhhhhhhh

Came here to post this.

I'd also argue that reef blower wore out its single gag pretty quickly but it does set up what it's like to have the main character as a neighbor pretty well without dialogue.

The Krusty Krab Training Video and Chocolate With Nuts are GOAT

This too.

When did Spongebob die for you?

For me, here.

>Last image of an otherwise standard episode ruined an entire show for you

What a baby.

Reminds me of Akira

>the pioneers used to ride these babies for miles
Why is early spongebob so iconic and memeable all these years later?

I think I can blame this episode for a giving me a light bullying kink

I'm bothered by the fact that the season 3 DVD cover uses season 4+ designs.

That episode with spongebob messing around with squidwards paper was meh.

Weird how they almost never rerun that episode.

That's the rerelease of that.

I think I hear mr enter screaming. Post some more

>Mfw I found fucking transformation as my fetish watching this

>every night I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep
Literal Legend.

The season 3 DVD came out in 2005 when they were entering season 4, so it's expected.

Uh,,, that's that uhhh sadismmmm~

Has the show gotten any better since Hillenburg returned?

OP: "In the first 3 seasons, there is not a single bad episode. Which one is your favorite?"

lrn2read

>not a single bad episode
I'm With Stupid is kind of bad, as are Great Snail Race and Party Pooper Pants.

Plankton's Regular and One Coarse Meal

The Great Snail Race is great if only because it gave us The Great Console Race.
vimeo.com/99423361

>implying Nintendo ever gave a crap about the console race
That was amazing, user, thank you

Wet Painters.
It never fails to be hilarious and it has probably most of my favorite Spongebob jokes.
I grew up on Spongebob DVDs and I always looked foward to watching this one.

First season is weird, like The Simpsons first season or King of the Hill first season weird. It did pick up and then heavily dropped off

>In the first 3 seasons, there is not a single bad episode
Party Pooper Pants sucks. Every other episode is gold though.

it's cause it's the second part of the valentine's day episode.

It's probably one of the best cartoons on tv now next to loud house and samurai jack

Does any episode in cartoon history have such comedic timing and pacing as this?

It's literally non-stop

This scene was terrible desu, I don't like when show creators self-insert.

Yeah, the party episode was pretty bad.
The only good joke was this at the start

i was expecting to get #TRIGGERED by this image but it's actually a hell of a lot less mortifying than i remember it. huh. it's just mildly gross/disgusting now. not much worse than the other gross out shit the show had at the time

I think because its only a still and not the entire animation

this

How do you feel now, user?

my leg

...

Underrated.
So many quotes

>and that's just sick
>super...special...secret....assignment
>two giant paint bubbles!

I was going to do more but I realised I'd be writing the whole episode.

The only episode in animated sitcoms I can compare it to is the Australian episode of the Simpsons

>There is not a single bad episode
"I'm with Stupid" says hi.

But that episode was great.

>Patrick going crazy trying to catch him
>EVEN SQUIDWARD MISSES YOU

I generally didn't mind the 4th and 5th seasons, as while they did have their share of weak episodes, none of them were really all that offensive. Season 6 on the other hand, had plenty of episodes that made me wonder if Nick decided to just let them do whatever the hell they wanted with no filter. So yeah, Season 6.

Come on man, too soon.

I don't get i-OOOOOOOOOh

fuck that's some undersea savagery there

That episode is also good though?

It also had some of the best reaction images from the show.

what the fuck were they

Whats wrong with Karate Island?

>all the top episodes were the most recent ones

Who did they think they were fooling?

Oh wow, I just noticed that.

At least it has the old logo, before they gave it steroids in the middle of Season 5.

The best overall episode is clearly Wet Painters/Training Video. Both episodes are god tier.

As Seen On TV/Can You Spare a Dime? is a close second IMO, followed by SB-129/Karate Choppers, The Secret Box/Band Geeks and Chocolate With Nuts/MMBBV

To Love A Patty.

Reminder that this episode was produced after the first movie with Hillenburg in creative control and shows that even with his involvement, the show was still turning to shit.

youtu.be/2UOCmMYINkI

Funny enough they've never used this logo in the show itself once. Even in the remastered opening they used the old logo.

This.
There was some bad ones like the strangler episode and krabby land.

I liked the Strangler episode.

Krabby Land did feel like a post-movie episode, yeah.

10/10

Spongebob used to have actual comedic timing, there was life in every scene and every bit of dialogue had punch to it. There were also periodic bits of silence which allowed the dialogue to breathe

Nowadays there's literally a musical cue for every single thing that happens, no silence to speak of. I don't even like the newer music choices anyway, they all sound terrible. At times it's frustrating to watch the show just writhe in pain and other times I'm genuinely interested in what they come up with, because it's not all bad. Season 4 had its problems but FUCK it was miles better than what's being aired now

They've stuck to the same music cues for the past few seasons now. Like the more stiff designs, it doesn't look like it's going to change unfortunately.

Atlantis Squarepantis

The point where characters became dumb and had their own stories and they started not recognizing one another as well as the same music being repeated over and over
So roughly 2007

I don't even know man they're all so good.

Probably the hall monitor episode. If not that, then the rock bottom episode. Or maybe the "At night" episode. And who could forget such classics like the Krusty Krab pizza episode, or the Camping Trip? Or even the Pretend Box?

everyone knows band geeks is the best episode.
fry cook games is almost equal though.

YOU TOOK MY ONLY FOOD
NOW I'M GONNA STARVE

this was great

Can you explain the joke?

SPONGEBOY ME BOB

is there a more quotable show in existence?
I can communicate with nothing but spongebob quotes.

...

at least I'm safe inside my mind

The bad breath and Sailor mouth were my favorites.

I honestly think the first episode of season 4 could have easily fit into season 3, even though it's so differently drawn than like any other spongebob episode

In retrospect, is S4 as bad as people say (especially when it gets put in the same basket as later seasons)?

ERRRR YOUUUU BUTTER FINGERED PINK THING! WHATS IN THAT BOX ANY HOW?

One of the best eps, if not the best. Shanghaied is also god tier

First half of season 4(up to and including Krusty Towers) is pretty good, with a few stinkers

Second half of season 4(post-Krusty Towers) is shite

The one where Squidward forms the band and ends with everyone performing at the super bowl of course. I really should rewatch Spongebob, I've rewatched the movie (the first one) plenty of times but I don't think I've watched an episode since I was ten.

at least i'm safe inside my mind

...

I just went and rewatched it.
>Spongebob pepping himself up in the mirror
>Krabs comes in the driveway
>reflection up and goes, saying "You're on your own pal"
Fuck, my sides. 15/10 episode.

you're a bad person.

This. Nick hyped it up so much and it ended up being a complete wet chunky fart.

Dude give us a much larger version of that pic. Plus I perfectly was able to watch that episode before Nick officially to no longer include that scene in future re-runs internationally.

>Nick officially to no longer include that scene in future re-runs internationally.
What? no fucking way, gotta be bollocks

if so then how does the edit end and if so post a clip

>old writers returning
I remember reading that Stephen Hillenburg was returning for the 2017 season but oddly haven't heard much about the show since. has the quality gone up?

Season 4 is not overall as consistently good as 1-3, but its best episodes come pretty close, and Its worst episodes aren't anywhere near as bad at what the later seasons came up with.

Just read that Hillenburg was diagnosed with lateral sclerosis. that shit is fucking awful man.

That's a short but I still see what you mean

Dear god I feel bad for laughing
