Top 10 Worst Moments in SpongeBob SquarePants Episodes

There are some moments in SpongeBob that makes me wanna say HECK WITH YOU SPONGEBOB YOU SUCK! So here's a top 10 list about it.
The Top Ten
1 Plankton attempts suicide (One Coarse Meal)

This is the worst piece of trash episode of SpongeBob and probably any kids' show in general! When I first saw it, I didn't think it would come from this show! It is just disgusting to show something like this in a kids' show. Mr. Krabs dressed as a whale like his daughter to stalk and scare Plankton into attempting suicide... is that supposed to be funny or something?!

It's completely obvious that Plankton and Pearl meet each other in "The Algae's Always Greener," but the show doesn't keep their continuity very well. Then, showing Plankton lying on the road waiting to get run over by a bus clearly indicates he is trying to commit suicide. The disturbing part is when SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs what Plankton was doing, and his response is laughing at Plankton's suicide attempt.

Honestly, whatever went through the writers' heads to think that the suicide topic is funny to put in a kids' show is just disgusting! If I had kids, I wouldn't let them see this episode and I wouldn't recommend anyone watch it. It's worthless, scarring, disgusting, and a complete waste of trash!

2 Spongebob is a stupid jerk to Gary (A Pal for Gary)

This episode always crawled under my skin. SpongeBob becomes worried about how lonely Gary must feel when he's at work (when in reality, Gary is just fine). So, SpongeBob comes up with the idea to get Gary a friend so that he isn't alone.

While his intentions are good, SpongeBob is told that the specific pet he wants to get (which he names Fluffy) is very dangerous, especially around other pets. Even after hearing this, he still buys it and takes it home. Not only does he make this mistake, but he also leaves the two pets together by themselves. Any responsible owner would know not to leave new pets alone with the old pets.

SpongeBob is completely oblivious to what is happening to Gary. Every time Fluffy tries to eat him, Gary runs away in fear, yet SpongeBob keeps forcing him to stay with Fluffy. SpongeBob keeps scolding Gary, calling him jealous for destroying the house. The pet you trust would totally be the first one to blame when you haven't even known the other pet for a whole 24 hours.

Even when Fluffy is obviously eating him, SpongeBob scolds Gary, telling him to put down Fluffy, when it is the other way around. Luckily, Gary scares away the monster by using his lassoing skills and saves SpongeBob. However, when the monster runs away, SpongeBob tells him to come back and then says, "Well Gary, what do you have to say for yourself?" as if it were Gary's fault. SpongeBob doesn't even apologize or thank Gary for saving his life and instead takes Gary with him to work for free labor so that Gary isn't by himself.

This episode was terrible and hard to watch, seeing poor Gary being tortured. Not to mention how unlikeable SpongeBob was in this episode. Once you watch this episode, you will never want to watch it again. Check it out at your own risk.

3 Mrs. Puff tries to kill SpongeBob (Demolition Doofus)

She gets arrested for the damage to the town that SpongeBob caused but doesn't get arrested for trying to murder him?! I hate SpongeBob in this episode too, but she tried to murder someone. Why, Nickelodeon?! Why?!

I didn't root for Mrs. Puff or SpongeBob in this episode. This episode should've never existed.

Making fun of the disabled? Wanting to kill your favorite student? Yeah, I'll see myself out...

That is messed up. Except when SpongeBob made a joke to Mrs. Puff as Mrs. Pop, now that is messed up too.

4 SpongeBob rips off Squidward's toenail (House Fancy)

Thank you! Thank whoever put this list together for putting this in the worst moments and not in the worst episodes! Anyways, yes. This part was unneeded and probably scarred a lot of children (but not me). However, this is probably the most underrated episode for this reason.

Hello, writers of this episode! This is SPONGEBOB, not Happy Tree Friends. People who can easily stomach gore and graphic torture aren't the main audience of SpongeBob.

I'm surprised this got past the censors in my country. I didn't even know Squidward had a toenail, but apparently he did, and it got ripped off, kind of brutally.

5 Mr. Krabs laughs when he finds out Plankton is trying to commit suicide (One Coarse Meal)

In my opinion, this is one of the two worst moments in SpongeBob history, right next to SpongeBob being a jerk to Gary in "A Pal for Gary." After this episode was made, I was surprised that the writers didn't make an episode about something like being racist. Laughing at suicide is something that only an insanely evil person would do.

This episode has one of the worst endings that I've ever seen in a SpongeBob episode. The writers can't expect me to believe that Mr. Krabs was actually the good guy in that episode after he drives Plankton toward suicide and makes fun of him for it. If you've never seen or heard of this episode, let me just tell you one thing: Never watch this episode!

6 Squidward attempts suicide (Are You Happy Now?)

Squidward never remembers having a happy memory and almost kills himself over it?! Do they really leave out that much continuity? Every time the producers have ideas not from seasons 1-3, they almost always turn it into plain awfulness that they think is funny for 10 years!

If I were watching Nick during 2008-2012, there would only be original episodes that actually have a plot without just mentioning continuity (the current episodes would just break it) to support me, with no season 9b, season 10, season 11, and early season 12 to "help me through my journey." I've never actually seen the episode, but knowing the plot and details of the ending from comments, it's already confirmed as season 7.

7 Spongebob doesn't see Puffy Fluffy being about to eat Gary (A Pal For Gary)

SpongeBob walks into a room and is shocked to see Puffy Fluffy eating Gary's bloody corpse. He then scolds what's left of Gary for not letting Puffy Fluffy play with him.

SpongeBob is definitely stupid in this episode. But then again, he always is that way, which makes me want to see Squidward wipe him out.

This made me want to destroy my television. Enough said.

8 Pus squirts at Mr. Krabs (The Splinter)

Season 6 is the grossest season of SpongeBob ever. I bought the full Season 6 DVD and started watching episodes while eating my lunch. I literally had to stop eating just because of all the gross imagery in a lot of the episodes. Toenail and skin ripping and gross close-ups are in most of the episodes this season. The Splinter is the grossest episode of all time. You see gross imagery throughout the entire episode, not just in one scene like in House Fancy. If you have never seen this episode, please don't watch it!

9 The Wonders of Unemployment (SpongeBob You're Fired)

"The Wonders of Unemployment" is just a fancy way of saying filler.

Okay, this is one of the episodes I don't like. It's extremely boring.

10 Sandy being too competitive (Squirrel Jelly)
The Contenders
11 Doorbell (Pet or Pests)
12 SpongeBob taking advantage of Squidward (Choir Boys)
13 City people (Stuck In the Wringer)

To be fair, they didn't know why SpongeBob was mad at Patrick, and all they saw was SpongeBob being very mean to him. But why can't they have SpongeBob tell his side of the story? Is it really that hard? Ugh.

Remember in "Fry Cook Games" where SpongeBob throws frying grease on the people? He should do it to those city people. SpongeBob is so misunderstood.

Hell yeah, those city fish in this episode are hypocrites! As much as I hate SpongeBob, he's right about telling Patrick off. That starfish is worse than the sponge.

14 Dr. Patrick (The Splinter)

He just made it worse! But it was stupid when he tried different things to try to make it better. That's what makes it funny, in my opinion.

And why was he so obsessed with sucking on SpongeBob's foot? I mean, at first, it's funny, but then it gets awkward as it goes on.

I'd rather let Shou Tucker treat my splinter than Patrick.

15 SpongeBob kills scallops (To Love a Patty)

The not-as-morally-questionable thing about this episode is SpongeBob basically falling in love with a Krabby Patty and pretty much treating it like a romantic partner (not the most surprising thing in the world for someone like SpongeBob), which is already kind of weird and unusual at best (not to shame anyone).

The more morally questionable thing about this episode is SpongeBob literally killing off baby animals just because they wanted to eat a patty he really likes. This alone already raises moral concerns, and I'd be surprised

if no one at Nickelodeon HQ or whoever made this questioned if they should keep this scene.

16 SpongeBob gets pampered by Gary (Gary's Got Legs)
17 ''I guess crying does solve your problems after all'' (Stuck In the Wringer)

How it should have ended:

Sandy goes into SpongeBob's house and finds out that SpongeBob is stuck in the wringer, so she tries to get him out with karate, but it doesn't work. She calls Mr. Krabs to come over. Mr. Krabs tries to snap the wringer, but it doesn't work. Mr. Krabs then calls Squidward. Squidward laughs at SpongeBob, but Mr. Krabs tells him to stop laughing or he will fire him.

So, Patrick, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward all try to push it up, but it doesn't work. The only thing left to do is call Plankton. Plankton comes over and uses his "Item Disappearer" to remove the wringer. He uses it, and SpongeBob is finally free. Now, SpongeBob wonders what he is going to use to clean himself.

18 Subliminal Message Girl (Gary Takes a Bath)

This also needs to be higher. It got the episode banned in Britain and Australia. It was almost banned in America, too. And it actually creeped me out when I was younger.

Oh, I thought this episode got banned for a certain little joke SpongeBob made.

SpongeBob admitted that he went too far with that image. "Sorry you had to see that."

19 Patrick admitting he is not stupid (The Card)

He admits that everything was intentional. To achieve what, I don't know. This basically ruins the character of Patrick. Every time he's been a prick or unbelievably stupid, it was intentional.

Why? This means that he intentionally burned Gary, intentionally ridiculed SpongeBob for stupidity, intentionally annoys Squidward, and intentionally didn't help SpongeBob with that splinter.

He just admitted that he was being a jerk all along! Just what, Patrick?! I could bet a million dollars right now that his voice actor cried in the bathroom for a whole hour after saying that line!

20 Patrick's stupidity (The Card)

That made me hate Patrick more than before. Hell, it made me wish that SpongeBob SquarePants was never created. And so, I wish that Squidward had killed Patrick.

Continually destroying a card SpongeBob cared about was bad enough. Revealing that you did it all on purpose makes it worse.

21 SpongeBob threatens to send Gary to a restaurant to get cooked (Gary Takes a Bath)

That is just horrible! Gosh, do I want to punch SpongeBob right now! And after A Pal For Gary...

Yes, the new episodes have affected the old episodes in a negative way.

22 SpongeBob kicks Squidward out of his party (Breath of Fresh Squidward)
23 SpongeBob's best day ever (Best Day Ever)
24 Pearl's birthday party (Whale of a Birthday)

Krabs was cheap, but stale popcorn and tap water don't sound bad.

Fudge. You don't give your daughter or son a cardboard birthday cake and ruin their birthday.

25 Spongebob says no to people (The Abrasive Side)

This episode reminds me of Spider-Man 3, and you know what I'm talking about.

All SpongeBob wanted was to say NO! But everybody keeps on bothering him, so really everybody except SpongeBob are the main antagonists.

The Pearl part made me angry! Just say yes and make her happy!
