Top 10 Most Disturbing SpongeBob SquarePants Episodes
You've voted for the best and the worst, now it's time to vote for the most disturbing episodes! Here's what I think are the most disturbing episodes of Spongebob ever made.Obviously the worst. Mr. Krabs drives Plankton to the brink of suicide and laughs about it. SpongeBob defending Mr. Krabs at the end really ticked me off.
Pearl and the whales (definitely included) could've happened toward the end of the series! Almost 20 years of SpongeBob, and Plankton tried to steal the Krabby Patty formula. That's even worse than Squidward being the mean one in the whole series!
I like this one, and I probably like all the other episodes on this list. I enjoy dark humor. Okay, not all. But the reasons I don't like some episodes have more to do with other factors, not because they're disturbing.
I actually didn't mind this episode. The way Squidward is being depressed is actually a good depiction of someone with depression. Even when SpongeBob tries to get him to come out of his house, Squidward doesn't yell at him or throw him out. He's just lifeless and emotionless.
And as some of my favorite YouTubers have said, even when SpongeBob kidnapped Squidward and he became all mad, destroying all the papier-mâché models of SpongeBob - that alone is an accomplishment. Squidward was feeling something for the first time in weeks! So I actually don't mind this one.
The most disturbing episode ever. I can even handle Squid Baby or One Coarse Meal, but this? No. First off, I thought SpongeBob was going to kill himself with all of those swords. Secondly, the way SpongeBob's thumb was sliding on the ground was disturbing - not to mention it was in slow motion. Even worse, the way it was digging through his thumb, possibly reaching his bones, made my skin crawl. I'm shivering while typing this because it's SO GROSS! Gee, thanks, writers! Now the image is going to stay in my head!
Then SpongeBob is so desperate to get rid of it because Squidward said he might miss work. Desperate enough to call "DOCTOR" Patrick. Right. Then he starts making SpongeBob feel guilty by saying that he knows more than him, and he makes it worse by - you know what? I've said enough. This is disgusting. Bye.
This is downright the creepiest SpongeBob episode. It felt like a creepypasta. Not only was SpongeBob weirdly obsessive with Squidward, but the tone of the episode was disturbing. The writers purposely threw unfunny dark humor at us, such as:
- The pillow scene
- Squidward talking to his vacuum
- SpongeBob literally cloning Squidward's house
- Squidward going insane towards the end
- And the hallway in this episode.
Now, some old cartoon episodes did scare me, like Hello Dolphin, Scooby-Doo & The Mummy Too, pretty much every episode of Rocko's Modern Life, and Nature Pants. But this one literally takes the cake. We have SpongeBob coming to Squidward's house, the pillow scene, the tripping over the rash cream gag (which was done three times), and the hallway scene - it's crazy. But the reason I liked this episode is that it made me respect SpongeBob more during its downfall.
This is definitely the most disturbing episode.
This episode is traumatizing.
All moments with Puffy Fluffy's mouth are the most disturbing scenes in SpongeBob history.
Seriously, I bet I can hear barfing noises while watching these other episodes! This episode is definitely the worst and most disturbing.
Tied with Whirly Brains as my second least favorite episode, with only Dumped being worse.
This episode traumatized me. I could not stop itching, and I never want to watch it again!
I was little the first time I watched this, and I was traumatized.
Mrs. Puff tries to kill SpongeBob, and I honestly don't even blame her.
This... I cannot even with this scene. It's sickening, creepy, disturbing, and it makes my toe feel like I'm suffering the same painful moment. Oh crap! My toe hurts now as I'm writing this! Screw whoever decided to make that scene!
This is actually a good episode because Squidward won at the end - minus that disgusting toenail scene. Secondly, he slipped on it, which made it even more disturbing and makes my skin crawl every time I see it. Yuck.
The toenail scene is a bit brutal, but I find the episode pretty enjoyable.
Ha ha! Wasn't this episode hilarious?
No, it actually wasn't. Well, kind of, but most of this episode is a complete NIGHTMARE! Can you imagine the look on kids' faces after seeing this monstrosity? Okay, maybe I'm overreacting a bit. I mean, hey, it could be worse! This episode could've been live action! Imagine what happened to Squidward happening to a human! Creepy, huh? If it did happen, it would terrorize me for a long time. And I'm not JUST talking about Squidward - Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, and Patrick too!
I give this episode a 5/10 because half of it was actually amusing.
Basically, everything about this episode is disturbing. It's easily one of the worst of the show and has no redeeming qualities. The episode is filled to the brim with gross moments (like the band-aid in the armpit scene), cruel moments (everything Patrick did to Squidward), and just flat-out disturbing moments (the ending with the eggs). This is like One Coarse Meal, but worse!
Absolutely disgusting episode. I wish this episode didn't exist.
A more recent episode called Fun-Sized Friends came out in the UK, and someone makes a similar face!
That SpongeBob face in the quote, "Is there something wrong with me?" is unsettling. The second creepy episode is "Suicide Squidward."
Is there something wrong with me?
I always thought that frightening insect close-up was a bumblebee, but I recently found out it was a horsefly. I used to have nightmares about that close-up when I was little.
I will never watch this episode again. That close-up scene traumatizes me just thinking about it.
Why is this not #1? This is literally the only episode that used to - and still does - LEGIT give me nightmares. I was also scared of the gorilla in I Had An Accident, but I got over it. This one? Never. I'll never get over that close-up scene.
Did anyone else think SpongeBob was going to kill himself at the end of the episode when he was watching TV static?
How is this not ranked higher? Definitely much darker than the average SpongeBob episode.
Was this the episode where SpongeBob wakes up and he's the only one in Bikini Bottom?
Intro: scary shot
Scenes: very dark and scary, especially when I was 10-12.
Almost/Ending: not scary (thank God!)
I liked it, but it's a perfect example of why not to take drugs.
This episode isn't quite as disturbing as others, like Graveyard Shift, but it's still memorable. It's enjoyable and heartwarming, thanks to Bob Jaques, who is one of the best animation directors on the show alongside Tom Yasumi.
It's creepy because SpongeBob keeps morphing when he loses his mind, trying to imitate everyone he sees. At least it's better than Face Freeze.
This episode is hard to rank in terms of disturbing content. Basically, the episode starts with SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs meeting a health inspector. They give him everything on the menu. Then the news reports that there is a fake health inspector trying to get free food. As you might expect, Mr. Krabs is triggered and gets SpongeBob to poison him.
Then they find out that their health inspector is real and try to bury his body. Overall, this episode was only a little bit disturbing.
The beginning is extremely terrifying, but this episode is mostly for horror fans. Wait, what? :/
When Squidward walks into the Krusty Krab, all he sees is a pile of scared fish, with more fish falling onto the pile in a strange way. In reality, they are in a giant, invisible hamster's stomach (invisible to those who didn't eat the weird patty, at least).
That vore scene really grossed and freaked me out. The part where they were burying themselves in the giant hamster's fur was also disturbing to me.
This episode is actually quite disturbing when you think about it. Imagine eating something bad, and then suddenly there's this massive hamster who's acting really nice to you...
