Top 10 Best SpongeBob SquarePants Episodes

Band Geeks, is without a doubt, the best Spongebob episode ever. Nothing can ever compare, even if this show runs 25 years more. The build-up, with all of the jokes, some of the funniest and most iconic jokes ever made in television. (The mayonnaise joke and the white sedan joke come to mind.) And then leading up to the Sweet Victory song, one of the most iconic songs of 21st century television. This episode is usually what comes to mind when you say "What is the best episode of Spongebob Squarepants" and it shows. One of the best episodes in animated television history.

This is the one. This episode is not only the best SpongeBob episode, but one of the greatest episodes in the history of cartoons.

Personally, I think that Chocolate With Nuts is the funniest episode and made me laugh the hardest. However, Band Geeks is a very close second in that regard (Patrick's "Is mayonnaise an instrument? " and "I want to do some kicking! " still makes me laugh uncontrollably).

What puts Band Geeks over the top, however, is the unrelenting heart of the episode. When I think of SpongeBob's character, this is the first episode I think of. He is the joyous, happy sponge that is inspired to help Squidward the best he can to help him succeed at the Bubble Bowl. He gets everyone in Bikini Bottom to help, and the result, "Sweet Victory", is one of the most magical moments in any television series. YEAH, FOR THE FIREMAN!

There's simply nothing like Band Geeks. Although it's a very common opinion to consider this the best episode, it's for a damn ...more

Where could I start?! The part where Squidward tries to teach them is hilarious! The music number at the end, was just plain AWESOME. Also, this should of been SpongeBob's name. If they cancelled it after the movie, it would've had such a good name. Anyways, this is the BEST SpongeBob episode. If not, one of the BEST examples of animation, EVER. All of the characters had a good part, the plot was AWESOME, and the music at the end was one of the most memorable scenes of the history of SpongeBob. BEST EPISODE EVER, HANDS DOWN. Before I end this comment...

Is mayonnaise an instrument?

What makes this episode so great are these 3 things:
1. Squidward is shown to be the underdog of Squilliam, and by the time he wins, it pours out tons of joy into many fans of this episode.
2. The grand ending: the song. The song was so well written that it should've won a Grammy or an Academy award.
3. The overall plot. It focuses on a prime conflict induced on a character, and he/she needs everybody's help. Then, there comes a time where the character feels like he/she has to give up, and by the end, that character comes out on top. This episode is an example of that.

When you think of the funniest episode in Spongebob history, what would you think? The most obvious answer is this gem of Nickelodeon history. Chocolate with Nuts has some of the best jokes ever delivered by the genius writers of this series. Every line the characters say in this series that is supposed to be funny, IS REALLY FUNNY. Spongebob and Patrick are at their funniest in this episode, and even some of the background characters elicit some laughs. And we're not even talking about Tom, (CHOCOLATE! guy) the candy bar salesman, or the old lady duo. Overall, the funniest episode in the entire series!

My favorite part of this episode is when the chocolate fish exclaims CHOCOLATE! And in the end he asks if he could buy all of their chocolate and Patrick is so surprised he dumps all the chocolate bars out of his pants and even poops out a kisses chocolate. This is the part where I crack up. There is one other episode not on the list that I think is hilarious, and it is Krusty Love, which should replace Best Day Ever. In the end of this episode, SpongeBob is so mad he curses at his own boss Mr. Krabs in front of Mrs. Puff when she looks at a dictionary and her cheeks turn red and Mr. Krabs's mouth grows wide open.

This episode is hilarious, and so well known. It is one of the most awesome and unique episodes in the entire SpongeBob series. Because of a misplaced magazine in SpongeBob's mailbox, him and Patrick become chocolate bar entrepreneurs to become rich like the guy with a swimming pool in his swimming pool. This has some of the funniest moments in the whole series, like when they're having trouble selling them, patrick says (as an idea) "I got it. Let's get naked.", which is a ROFL what moment to me. Also, the fish screaming CHOCOLATE!, which is nowadays one of the most well-known moments to use on the internet, period. There's my opinions on Chocolate with Nuts.

I can't understand what we're doing wrong. Me For You is the greatest SpongeBob apm song ever. Proves that the old episodes own the new ones, especially Employee of the Month, Home Sweet Pineapple, Squirrel Jokes, Culture Shock, Pizza Delivery, No Weenies Allowed, Band Geeks and many others. Band Geeks will always be at the top of every SpongeBob best episodes list. It's top on here and on Nickelodeon's Top 100 SpongeBob Episodes, which was voted by the FANS. Everyone's favourite episode is Band Geeks.

To think this was only the 9th episode just proves that Spongebob already made some of the best episodes when it was first aired. Pizza Delivery has some of the funniest jokes of the series, but the real greatness of this episode shines within the character interactions. Say what you want about the 2 above but this episode has the best character interactions of the whole series, and maybe in Nickelodeon history. The way Squidward stands up to the angry customer at the end is so satisfying and might as well make some people cry. Pizza Delivery shows that Spongebob was in its prime earlier than even imagined.

So funny! The song spongebob was singing was hilarious. It was the first episode I've seen. I was about 3 years old and I laughed so hard I couldn't breath. But that's not the only funny part, spongebob also talks about the pioneers and demonstrates the movie he saw on the road. I think that's a good excuse that squid ward should eat coral instead of pizza. Again, that's not all. Near the end of the episode ( If you haven't seen this episode don't read the rest of this spoiler! ) a customer makes spongebob feel bad because sponge bob misunderstood the customers order and squid ward throws a pizza in the guys face to make him shut up. Funnier if you actually see it. Definitely one of the best episodes of spongebob out there.

"who cares about the costumer? "I do". "well I don't" (hurricane stops) 'gasp' Sqiudward. Best line ever next to My Names Not. RICK. How is this not number one? It has more memorable moments than any of the other old episodes. This episode has a classic plot just like camping episode or band geeks. The part where Spongebob runs over Squidward with the boulder was hilarious, and the song is simply priceless. This song is loved by all Spongebob fans, and so is this episode. If your a Spongebob fan that instantly means you've seen and love this episode. My favorite episode of Spongebob will always be this. It should be number 1

When will Band Geeks and Chocolate With Nuts finally let go of what they're holding on and let Pizza Delivery be #1? I can't believe that Band Geeks is still #1. It was great, but it was the 6th best SB episode, not 1st. Chocolate With Nuts was fantastic, but, I like Rock Bottom more. I think Chocolate with Nuts should be on #3. Rock Bottom should be on #2, and Pizza Delivery should be on #1. Come on, put this on #1!

This episode is just a present box filled with humor waiting to be opened every time I watch it. The comedic timing is always spot on and the episode has great replay value. There's never a dull moment, with SpongeBob telling Squidward to "Have fun inside" Patrick spitting marshmallows into Squidward's face, the campfire song song, the sea bear scene and so much more. While some episodes do a great job of developing characters and plot like band geeks and dying for pie, this episode is the epitome of what SpongeBob humor should be: charming, witty, and a joy for both children and adults alike. This is why the camping episode takes the cake for my top spot. It is just one gigantic laugh, from start to finish.

Watch the epic tale of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward camping 10 feet from their house! Performing incredible feats such as eating marshmallows on the moon! Playing campfire song concerts! And defending themselves against the dangerous forces of nature using nothing but a circle in the sand!

Best episode ever! All the events work out perfectly and they all have different types of ways to make you laugh. Best of all... The Camp Fire Song Song! Best spongeBob song and best camping song ever! It never gets tiring and I replay it every time I hear it! CLASSIC!

They forgot the last way to attract a Sea Bear, Which is to NOT vote for this episode and if you don't a Sea Bear and Sea Rhinoceros will destroy your Anti-Sea Bear Circle and Anti-Sea Rhinoceros Undergarments!

This is my favorite episode. This episode is so funny, and the plot is so amazing. SpongeBob SquarePants use to be such a good show, but there was an obvious decrease in the shows quality after the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. I can't believe how bad the most current episodes are. The episodes clearly don't have the same great storylines that made the show so popular more than a decade ago.

While I like Band Geeks more, this one has sentimental value for a very simple and miniscule reason, I just looked forward to it when I was little, this episode was such a treat for me whenever it came on. That and I like the idea of an episode that's just two characters (besides SpongeBob and Patrick) interacting with eachother which was handled in the very unique way of treating it like one of those campfire stories people tell about other campfire stories coming true. Truly a unique and for me, special episode.

Certainly has the elements! There are many other episodes like this, but this one is something special! I remember this being one of the very first episodes I ever watched when I was four, 12 years later at 16 I still love this show!

This was the first episode of SpongeBob I ever saw. I was 4 years old and I saw my cousin watching this episode and I didn't know what it was but I started watching it and I loved it! I was also kind of scared being a 4 year old.

Yeah this is probably my favorite episode now. That whole stretch of humor between "Where's the leak ma'am", the bowling pin, and "Finland!" is probably the best sequence of SpongeBob humor of all time.

I love all these episodes on here but this has got to be my favorite. I love it when that creepy frankendoodle speaks gibberish and when Patrick says Finland! It's so random and hilarious!

Finland! Where's the leak ma'am? I mean this episode is so classic. Memorable lines, funny scenes and clever plot make this one of the finest SpongeBob episodes ever.

Yes Finland is the best line in this episode. Comedy Gold! (This is not sarcasm, I love this episode)!

This episode is AMAZING! This episode is a perfect representation of an actual training video. None of the jokes fall flat and they were really cracking me up. Some of the best parts were the hoopla, POOP, the "I really wish I weren't here right now" button, the emergency part, Plankton refusing to to get kicked out of the restaurant and way more! I love the fourth wall breaks too! This episode is such a classic and is very memorable. I rate this episode an 11/10.

What makes this episode so special is that it's a simple joking parody that even kids could understand and relate with even though they've never had a job, and the way the episode breaks the fourth wall is what makes it the most unique, creative, and outgoing of the entire series.

This is the funniest episode with the Krusty Krab. I love how they show SpongeBob as a good representative of a worker and how they show Squidward the bad representative of a worker! HILARIOUS!

It's also funny how Patrick doesn't know what to order and Squidward bangs his head on the cash register after saying to Patrick,"*sigh* Is that for here or to go. Oomph! "!
It's also funny how the "WASH YOUR HANDS" sign is in Spanish in the restroom when SpongeBob is washing his hands!
It's also funny how the narrator says "DAH, DAH, DAH," while the Krabby Patty zooms out and he soon run out of breath.
My 2 favorite moments in the episode:
1. People Order Our Patties.
2. SpongeBob Duplicates: "I'M READY! I'M READY! I'M READY! " *Narrator swats SpongeBob duplicates with spatula.

This is an episode that I will always remember!

( I think this is the best episode ever! I know every word! ) The fact that it's like a real training video is just like, 100. If you haven't seen this one, you're really missing out, and this should be number 1 on the list!

By far my favourite! I find it even funnier now as an adult than I did as a kid. When Iwas younger I thought the noises because in my head I replace the various bleeps with swear words. When I was a kid I thought the dolphin sounds they were making were sea curses, like I thought it was offensive to make dolphin noises but now I see that the noises are meant tobe censorship.
Best line "Hi Patrick! How the BLEEP are you? "

This episode is also famous for introducing many hilarious SpongeBob Edited videos on YouTube, where they replace words with swear words, usually belonging to Tenacious D and Tourettes Guy soundclips. I mean, I still watch these videos to this day. Go watch the Toy Story 2 edits on YouTube (with filters) to see what I mean.

This is my personal favourite episode. No matter how many times I watch it I still laugh out loud. "Hey Patrick how the (dolphin noise) are ya! "
Best part is Mr. Krabs hurting his foot and using all 13 bad words.
Shame they don't make episodes as good as this anymore.

What if I told you guys that the actors were saying the bad words uncensored while recording for this episode? 8) Looks like the words were censored while in the editing process.

Here is an introduction to SB-129: SpongeBob and Patrick want Squidward to go Jellyfishing with them but Squidward sneaks behind them and gets in to the Krusty Krab while accidentally locking himself in the freezer for 2000 years. Clone of SpongeBob named Spongetron welcomed him into the future while Squidward asked him why is everything chrome. Next he wanted to go back to his own time period and uses a time machine and goes to the past but was a wrong destination and met SpongeBob and Patrick as if they were animals. Next he went to a world where he thought he would be all alone but later realizes he wants to get out as he finds the time machine to travel back to the correct time period.

It was close between Band Geeks and SB-129. weird, both focus on Squidward.

I went with this one because of how surreal it is. Time traveling to the future where everything is chrome, and there are hundreds of SpongeTrons. Going to the past and finding prehistoric SpongeBob and Patrick. And "ALONE".

The whole idea that Squidward actually misses SpongeBob even though he hates him is very nice.

Band Geeks had more humor and probably a better ending, but this one was so fun to watch.

I thought this one was hilarious, really cool with a lot of neat scenery. Squidward's even funnier than SpongeBob here!

An incredible episode that both combines incredible humor with surreal effects to create a masterpiece. This of my favorite SpongeBob episode ever.

Probably one of the more underrated episodes of SpongeBob which makes it awesome that its this high up on this list.

SB: So you want it to look good AND scary?
Patrick: No, I think he wants it to look so good that it's scary
SB: Or maybe by making it look so scary you forget that it doesn't look good!
Patrick:... I don't get it...

Such an awesome, quotable episode!

The ending was great! It had Squidward wishing he had never met SpongeBob and Patrick before in his life. His wish came true, and him, SpongeBob and Patrick get eaten by the Dutchman.

When they get eaten, SpongeBob and Patrick are still introducing themselves to Squidward, which makes this episode funnier.

I love this episode because as evil as The Flying Dutchman is, even HE doesn't want to have SpongeBob and Patrick as slaves forever because they annoy him. The look on his face when SpongeBob and Patrick ruin his ship over and over is just priceless.

This is my second favorite episode, behind the perfection that is band geeks. There's so much humor jam packed into every line and it's just a constant laugh fest while watching this. I honestly can't understand how people don't have this episode anywhere on their top 10s, and most people don't.

Lots of people think that either Band Geeks or Chocolate With Nuts is the best SpongeBob episode, but I disagree with both of those statements, just like Jem Reviews. But unlike Jem Reviews, I believe it's this. Let me explain. First things first, this episode has the best Patchy segments of the series, better than the ones in Friend or Foe and Party Pooper Pants. AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SpongeBob EVER MADE A SPECIAL! The SpongeBob segments are no worse. The jokes are funny, the message is put in perfectly, and there's so much Christmas cheer and so many funny jokes. Christmas would not be complete without the Who, and that is why I find this the best SpongeBob episode ever. 10/10.

This is one of Spongebob's best specials. It also carries some genuinely entertaining patchy segments, which I don't see often. The premise is original, which is hard to do considering every show has a Christmas special at some point. It's hilarious, contains a great musical number, and is one of the most enjoyable and heartwarming episodes of the show. Maybe Band Geeks is better, but this should be higher up.

Very good episode. And the very first Christmas to me song is really amazing! It got stuck in my head and it shows how good season 2 is!

It's shaping up to be a wonderful holiday!
Not your normal average everyday!
Sounds like someone filled my old colar tree!
Spongebob, Patrick why'd you do this to me?
The world feels like it's in lovery!
Go away before a harm you bodily!
This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas to me!

The song is one of the best songs in the show. Also, this is one of the only episodes where Patchy the Pirate is actually funny.

Season 1 Episode 1. The classic first episode started the great SpongeBob's era.

This episode was completed in 1997, but didn't air until May 1st, 1999. Happy 20th anniversary, SpongeBob!

This was the best first episode that this show could've given us!

The first SpongeBob episode ever, what a true classic.

People say that the show has declined in quality since the movie. And it's generally true. One coarse meal is the worst Spongebob episode ever made. But this is one of the post movie episodes that's just as good, if not better, than the old episodes. I like the hotel motto and the employee elevator. Especially because Patrick only wanted rocks brought up to his room.

What's this episode doing at forty three? I love the part when Squidward makes SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs redo his hotel room. It's hard to say, but I think this episode should at least make the top ten episodes.

I can't stop laughing during that episode, it is worth much more than 45. Patrick is so funny when he asks for cheese, he tips, or simply question "this is a hotel? ".

This episode is so good! It's so funny and entertaining. Not only was the plot interesting, but the humour was excellent. Definitely one of my favourite spongebob episodes.

Why does no one ever talk about this episode? It's so different from most of the other spongebob episodes but equally as amazing, even better actually. It actually scared me when I was a little kid, and that's impressive given that it's a spongebob episode. Plus all the jokes and everything that's going on are so well executed. This is a true example of how amazing classic spongebob was.

I LOVE this episode of SpongeBob it's definitely my favorite Patrick left SpongeBob by himself downtown laugh out loud and his expression when he saw they were leaving Bikini Bottom was priceless!

I used to not like this episode very much for some reason, which is crazy because it's actually hilarious. Definitely deserving of better than 14th on the list.

Most overrated spongebob episode. As a child I would get lost a lot so to see spongebob get lost frustrated me... however it isn't awful an I can see why someone would like it

I love this one because (you guys might not agree with me) it shows plankton wants friends more than success even though he did try to steal the krabby party formula, he really wanted a friend more.

I am trying to do the top 20 introductions but not the top 5 yet! My goal is to get to 5 likes in one of the introductions and then I will do the top 5

This is a great episode where SpongeBob actually likes Plankton, I think that Mr. Krabs really likes Plankton and doesn't know it.

I loved it when Plankton pretended he had regretted stealing the Krabby Patty, and then he just ran off.

When I was little, this episode was my all time favorite! It still is. This was one of my favorite jokes. Patrick puts in a dollar in the vending machine, comes back out. Spongebob begs Patrick to take it out, but he puts it back in. Comes out again, but then Patrick puts it back in. Comes out, back in. Comes out, back in. This joke is unforgetable.

Patrick: SpongeBob! We're not cavemen! We have technology. *slams a computer on top of the dollar*
SpongeBob: It didn't work
HAHA a classic quote!

This honestly is the best episode ever.Not only does it have a really good storyline but is also full of humor. This and Chocolate with nuts are the best.

"Patrick" "Yeah" "I don't think this can get any bigger! " "Nonsense! " So awesome.

Easily my favorite episode. Every character gets an iconic moment. Patrick with "Look at it! " And the ugly barnacle story, SpongeBob with "ugly, you gotta be kidding! " And "I'm ugly and I'm proud" and even the classic "DEAAAUUUAAAGHH! " Line from that random guy in the movie theater. An unforgettable classic.

All the episodes are fun. However, as I read through all the comments and read about the tale of the Ugly Barnacle, I laughed aloud. For me, that's proof that "Something Smells" is THE Funniest to me. I'm gonna go rewatch the episode right now!

I REALLY love this episode so much! Patrick tells a story about an Ugly Barnacle, SpongeBob screams "I'm ugly and I'm proud! " and the guy at the theatre (Fred) said "Not at all boy. *sniff* *sniff* DEUUEAUGH! Those are the best lines ever!

Once there was an ugly barnacle he was so ugly that everyone died the end. That didn't help at all! Laugh out loud

Guys, just because this is in season 6 doesn't mean it shouldn't be higher on the list. The plot in this episode has numerous gags and some of the best animation of the whole series. It feels like a nice simple plot with an amazing story. If I tell you there's an episode where SpongeBob and Patrick make sandcastles, you're gonna want to see it. Its full of awesome action and keeps your attention. :D

This was one of the few good episodes in Season 6 which was quite possibly one of the worst seasons of the series. In fact, what's really shocking is that this is one of the BEST and most CREATIVE episodes in the series.

The sand castle part made the episode. The beginning and end was annoying though. But, The middle (Sand Castles made up for it). I wish the writers made episodes like this instead of making crap.

How is it that SpongeBob takes literally over a million times to get a simple drivers license, yet in this episode he drives a tank and pilots a fighter jet perfectly? This episode rules by the way.

This is probably the closest SpongeBob have come to real life situations,
Remember when you were little? Fearing that roller coaster. Terrified. Any your parents teasing you to go on it. It really relates.

Although the quality of episodes decreased after the movie, I think this ep is one of the best post-movie episodes, along with Krusty Towers, too. Should have ranked a lot higher!

This is one of my all time favorites! I still laugh at the part where SpongeBob and Patrick are on the kiddie ride.

Patrick: OH YEAH?! *punches reflection* I thought we settled this the last time!

Classic and my favorite part in this episode.

It would've been good if it didn't have characters getting hurt in almost EVERY PART!

The ONLY reason this isn't higher on the list is because it's a post-movie episode.

This is an awesome episode. It should be in the top in my opinion.

Weird. Can't believe how far this got pushed back.

Phone: Is this the Krusty Krab?
Patrick: No, this is Patrick. *hangs up*
Phone: *rings and Patrick picks it up again* Is this the Krusty Krab?
Patrick: No, this is Patrick!
Phone: *rings as Patrick picks it up a third time* Is this the Krusty Krab?
Patrick: NO, THIS IS PATRICK! *slams phone down* I'm not a Krusty Krab.
SpongeBob: Um, it's the name of the restaurant.

This episode is not my favourite but it has the funniest moment: Phone: "is this Krusty Krab? " Patrick: "no, this is Patrick" phone: "is this Krusty Krab? " Patrick: "no, this is Patrick" phone: "is this Krusty Krab? " Patrick: "no, THIS IS PATRICK! "

This episode was good until about halfway. Patrick ruined the "I broke it" joke, then started acting like a big jerk. Still, the beginning was pretty funny, so I won't say it's one of the worst.

Remember the famous line, "no, this is patrick! ".. Yeah,. This is their best episode with patrick's idiocracy

When Patrick is playing the video and his limbs explode off of him and then it happens to him in real life. The tree wearing a scuba tank. They ran out of staples and had to use glue and tape. THE IRON BUTT! This episode is loaded with gems!

"Next time is won't just be my butt, it could be my forehead or an armpit."
"Or your other armpit."

"That's not crazy talk. This is crazy talk! -crazy talk- Sorry! " Best line ever! By the way, why isn't this episode higher on the list?

Sandy, we'll get SpongeBob outside to see their's nothing to be afraid of. Patrick, and that's when I punch him right.

This episode is highly underrated and is very unpredictable which made it my favorite episode.

I really liked how this episode tried to teach a great moral about not having to change just to spend time with someone. The running joke gets overused, but that's the point and it's not the audience who suffers for it, but the characters within the show. Not to mention the song, it's one of my favorites of the show right there with Sweet Victory. But why this episode is my favorite is because I'm a Sandy and Spongebob shipper. This episode just oozes with shipping fuel. I know Spongebob is said to be asexual, but I don't care! I ship it.

I know I shouldn't mope around I shouldn't curse, but the pain feels so much worse, cause winding up with no one is lot less than a burnt from the sun, or sand in your buns! Now I learned a lesson I wont soon forget, so listen and you wont regret, Stay true to ya self don't miss your chance and you wont end up like the fool who ripped his pants!

Great funny episode with a moral to the story and the song at the end is the best of the series. Easily top 5.

This website needs to learn a lesson it won't soon forget. That this episode is one of the greatest spongebob Episodes ever

Hey Writers I got a message for you and please if your reading this make if happen create an episode where Spongebob and Patrick try to get into a nightclub but they can't but when Plankton plans to destroy it after Mr. Krabs hid the formula in there, Spongebob and Patrick must enter and stop him while going undercover but hilarious things happen on the way in the nightclub and it should be called The Undercover Clubbers. Sandy should be in it where she helps them and a fish parody of 1 Directon should be in it and Pearl and her friends should be there and squidward. This episode rules and this should be a homage except without the muscular wrestler dudes who agrees with me?

SpongeBob: ugh! Sandy what happened?
Sandy: you ran inside and slipped on an ice cube.

At the hospital:
SpongeBob: I slipped on an ice cube and got covered in boo boos.
Doctor: Boo boos, eh? I think you go to that hospital (points to weenie hut general).
SpongeBob: Wennie hut general?

HAHA weenies... This is a funny episode. I believe it's the one where SpongeBob wants to get into the Salty Spitoon, am I not correct? SpongeBob: "I'll have you know that I stubbed my toe last week, while watering my spice garden, and I only cried for twenty minutes. " haha what a baby! GOTTA LOVE THE SPONGE!

"So it isn't mega weenie Monday? " "Uhh actually that was moved to Sunday" "so there's no more super weenie sunday" "don't you mean super weenie Wednesday? " The best scene out of any spongebob episode
