Worst Spongebob Pre Movie Episodes
This episode was still better than pretty much any episode from SpongeBob's dark era (Seasons 6-9A), it really wasn't that bad. Still, it can easily be called the worst pre-movie episode (tied with Party Pooper Pants) because of how unkind Patrick is to SpongeBob compared to other episodes, and with Party Pooper Pants, it's the opposite: SpongeBob is being unkind to Patrick.
Truthfully its really hard to vote on this list but everyone trashed this episode. I really don't like the way Patrick treats SpongeBob but its still really funny. My favorite is "But don't geniuses live in a lamp? " and "Look you got this note (shows music note) and you got a letter (shows actual letter B)! And I got this message from my parents! "
Who gives a damn how patrick acts? It's a made up show without real characters, it exists to entertain people. If it doesn't entertain you it isn't a good episode, if it does it has reached its goal and it's a good episode. Its irrational to vote off of how the characters act because its funny when patricks an ass anyway and if you really feel that much empathy to an entity you know doesn't actually exist (SpongeBob) and want him treated fairly to the point where you loathe an episode where he isn't, I'm very sorry but get a life...
Not gonna lie the only parts I like about this episode are the Patchy scenes. Like when he gets mad when he thought the lost episode was cheap walk cycles and when the kids tortured him on the playground. The episode itself is just one of those episodes where the townsfolk are hypocritical jerks. They bully Spongebob for having a dream yet they have dreams themselves.
So let me get this straight: the townspeople ridicule SpongeBob without remorse after it's revealed that he's trying to fly. And then when he can fly, suddenly he's obligated to do random favors for those same townspeople. So pretty much everyone who was insulting SpongeBob for trying to live out his dream suddenly feels the need to take advantage of this for their own personal gain? And they never get called out for this?!
Tl;dr. This episode is terrible. It's bad and you should feel bad while watching it.
I wasn't expecting a Season 1 episode to be bad. Anyway, this is my 100th least favourite SpongeBob episode, my least favourite in Season 1 and my third least favourite pre-movie episode. I don't like this episode and the only other bad episodes are Party Pooper Pants and The Great Snail Race, both are worse and from Season 3.
For those of you who like this episode, this episode is just grotesque and the ending is just... What!?
Why does Squidward set his mind on torturing Gary? Gary did nothing to him!
All the other episodes on here have a redeeming quality to them. I'm With Stupid is extremely comedic, as well as showing Patrick as more of a pathetic person than a mean person in my opinion. Party Pooper Pants had some great visual jokes, as well as a decent story, and even My Life as a Teenage Gary had some entertaining moments. However, this episode is atrocious in every sense of the word. It is unfunny, cruel, gross, confusing, and includes the suffering of a character who cannot defend themselves. I feel revolted and annoyed anytime I see this episode, and I personally think it can be included as one of the worst Spongebob episodes of all time.
It's not too bad but it's still a pretty gimmicky episode. SpongeBob's behavior gets really grating too, and there's not enough good jokes. It's my least favorite pre-movie episode, but I still like watching it for some reason and it does have that season 3 charm. I also liked that bit where Patchy's invitation gets ruined underwater, that was hilarious.
I just watched this. I hardly remember it and I can see why. It's easily among the worst if not the worst pre movie episode. There was a fair amount of decent jokes, but the characters were robotic and Spongebob was unbearable. The majority of the patchy segments were also cringe inducing.
The only thing I don't like about this episode was the ending where Squidward and all the Bikini Bottomites were laughing at SpongeBob outside his grandma's house. I mean, don't they got anything else to do other than ruin a heartwarming message about loving your grandparents? I honestly felt the ending would have been better if Squidward's grandma came and she hit him with a cane as karma for harassing poor SpongeBob.
Spongebob hot laughed at, then they spied on spongebob. How did they even know where spongebob's grandma lives?
I find it to be a great and overhated episode.
I thought this episode was funny.
If the animation and voices were different, I might have mistaken this for an early Season 6 episode. There are still some good parts to the episode (like the kids' reactions to "Krabby the Clown" and the ep being an analogy to greedy corps that market towards kids with cheap uninspired products, like Viacom) but it's pretty mediocre by season 3 standards.
This episode is okay but seeing Spongebob get tortured and beat up throughout the episode just so Mr. Krabs could get the children's parent's money is not funny. At least Mr. Krabs gets what he deserves at the end and Mr. Krabs loses all the money he got from the kids.
There are just 3 pre-movie episodes that suck: Nature Pants, Dumped and Club SpongeBob. And MAYBE Sandy's Rocket. However, this isn't just the worst pre-movie episode, this is the worst SpongeBob episode of all time. That shows pre-movie SpongeBob has bad episodes. Now I'm gonna review the hated episodes that shouldn't be on here:
I'm With Stupid - yeah, it's a Patrick's a prick episode, yeah, it's kinda mean-spirited, but it's also very funny.
The Great Snail Race - Gary tormen't isn't shown too long in the episode, it has great jokes, SpongeBob actually feels sorry for Gary and tells him he can stop racing, Gary is happy at the end because he falls in love, it's one of my favorite season 3 episodes (12th or 13th)
I Was A Teenage Gary - a really funny and unique episode, which shouldn't be hated at all. I think it's only hated because of SpongeBob's snail transformation that may have creeped out some kids (not me).
The Sponge Who Could Fly - a good special, with great Patchy segments, and there's nothing more to say.
Party Pooper Pants - same as The Sponge Who Could Fly, a good special with great Patchy segments, just funnier and better than The Sponge Who Could Fly.
Krabby Land - OK, Krabs is a cheap bastard who just cares about money in this episode, but it's still kinda funny. The funniest part is that Krabs's punishment is Lima beans.
Ugh - there is a czechoslovak show with 2 characters, that do not talk at all, and it's one of my favorite shows ever. This episode is better than any of the episodes from that show. It has fantastic Patchy segments, it has some great jokes, and it's a great episode.
Grandma's Kisses - yeah, it's a SpongeBob torture porn, but it's actually funny (same with I'm With Stupid).
Musclebob Buffpants - I really don't understand why it's on the list, it's a great episode, with great humor.
Now I'm gonna review Club SpongeBob, that is on 20, but should be on... more
This is one of those episodes like "A Sponge Who Could Fly". The townsfolk being rude hypocrites. They laugh at Spongebob at having an "object" friend when they are shown to have object friends too.
Everyone was being a hypocrite.
I'm only saying this because it's just bland. Not bad, but bland. No spongebob episode outside of the two movies in S 1-3 can manage that.
Neptune was being a bully to that innocent sponge.
To me the problem to this episode is the end were plankton saiys please take spongebob back then mr krabs saiys for 50 dollers, after singing a song about how much he misses spongebob why not saiy yes this was the first episode of mr krabs being really unlikeble.
I thought it was a depressing episode, but not a bad episode.
This is Patrick being a jerk pulled off correctly. I kind of understand why this is here, yet it's a bit of an enigma to understand why it's here at the same time. To those that have never seen the episode (HOW?!?! ) before, it's about SpongeBob desperately wanting to see what's inside of Patrick's secret box. He takes any measure to see what inside of it, and Patrick denies him every time. In the end, he reveals to SpongeBob a part of it, which was a string. The thing about the string is that it would pull up a picture of SpongeBob during Christmas, so it might be understandable why Patrick didn't want to show anyone, especially SpongeBob what was inside the box.
Most boring and forgettable episode of the entire series. Feels more like a Doug episode than a SpongeBob episode and not in a good way.
This episode shouldn't be on this list.
First, SpongeBob's a complete prick to Gary. Also, the "don't drop the soap" joke is really bad.
Maybe it's the girl why this guy put it here.
No dialogue. Plus it was the first Squidward Torture Porn.
Ugh...people this was literally the first episode outside the pilot, and their sound equipment wasn't working...please just cut them some slack...
It was silent because the sound equipment was broken, that's why it had no dialogue
Honestly kind of boring and not very memorable.
This is my favorite season 1 episode.
This and Krusty Krab Training Video are the worst of pre movie Spongebob. The fake vomit scene scared me to death and it still does.
Boring and unfunny is my biggest issue, and I feel like it went a bit too far.
Squidward was treated like he is constantly treated in season 6.
First Squidward torture porn.
This should be much higher on the list.
This is the worst list ever, this is one of the best spongebob episodes ever created!
I LOVE this episode, Patrick framing SpongeBob this episode was hilarious unlike I'm With Stupid.
