Most Underrated SpongeBob Episodes

This episode plotwise was not a terrible episode. Its not a great episode, but its not a depressing, irritating, AND boring episode such as a Pal for Gary. As for Krabs tormenting Plankton, Plankton has enslaved an entire town, terrorist bombed the Krusty Krab, and delibrately injured many krusty Krab patrons who had no intentions of being put in the line of fire. At this point Krabs doing that could be called justice if this wasn't a kids show. And at the end Plankton does the exact same thing to Krabs that Krabs did to him. How is Krabs evil just because this episode mainly revolved around him?

I think this episode is more overhated than underrated. I believe that people overreact WAY too much to the suicide aspect of the plot. However, I don't believe the intention of the episode was to mock depressed/suicidal people. I believe this was meant to be a silly "Krabs gets back at Plankton" episode, that unfortunately made a few missteps in the story department. Overall? It's not a particularly good episode, especially from a comedic and writing standpoint. However, it does get too much hate.

I'm sorry, but this special has WAY too many problems to be considered "underrated" in my opinion. The biggest problem with this episode is it's pacing. The episode is only a half an hour long, but it REALLY should've only been 11 minutes. As such, each individual scene is dragged on FAR longer than it should. Another big problem with the episode is the fact that it steals concepts and plot elements from SEVERAL other episodes. SpongeBob has been fired on numerous occasions, yet this special treats it like it's a fresh idea (it isn't). The latter half of this episode blatantly rips off the plot of Season 4's "Le Big Switch" in that SpongeBob can only make Krabby Patties as opposed to other types of food. Now, if the episode had new joke ideas and interesting ideas to offer with these reused concepts, that would be great. Instead, what we get is a severely watered down version of several earlier episodes. Also, there are several plot holes and missing story elements ...more

When I first saw this special, I decided that it was my favorite episode. I even reviewed it on T.V..com.

No. This deserves the hate it gets. It’s plot falters a lot and doesn’t make sense. Not to mention how pointless this episode was to begin with. Spongebob gets fired and rehired numerous times throughout the series. Why is this any different?

This one's bad

This should be number one. It's much better than the infuriating "One Course Meal". This episode is actually good except for one scene and even that scene was used to advance the plot and it wasn't useless at all. Unlike many people I didn't find this episode boring at all.

People only hate the episode for a 10 second scene that bears absolutely no relevance to the plot.

I personally found it funny, anyway.

So true, lots of enterbots hating on the page of a 10 second scene of an 11 MINUTE CARTOON, come on, it's NOT the splinter

Yes, I do think this episode is underrated, based on the criticisms of this episode. See, there are 2 sides to the criticism of this episode, the side that hates Squidward, and the side that likes Squidward. I'm going to focus on the side of liking Squidward. See, this side likes Squidward and finds this episode cathartic for seasons 6 and 7. My problem is that both sides hate this episode. THIS side hates the episode just for the hypocritical townspeople and Patrick. There's a weakness to this side of the criticism that hates this episode: Squidward ends up on top and Spongebob loses. You totally have the right of hating the townspeople, but that's just a few minutes long, and just know that Squidward ended up on top of the end. So yeah, people should like this episode more because Squidward wins. Yes, the Bikini Bottomies didn't get punished, but does that matter if Squidward wins? The criticism of this episode could've been like the episode Krabby Land, where Spongebob tortures ...more

This episode is alright, but far from great

The faces scared me and gave me nightmares.

Nah. This was an actual crap episode.

Best Season 7 Episode

Mrs. Puff was an evil sadistic attempted murderer in this episode.

This episode is actually underrated! A lot of people say that the stupidity of Spongebob and Patrick is unbelievable but it’s honestly one of the only times their blatant stupidity in seasons 6-8 is ACTUALLY funny.

It's not as bad as people say.

It's a pretty bad episode, but it's not offensively bad.

Love this episode so underrated

Please people it is a good episode.

Honestly I Don't Think This Episode Is Underrated While It May Not Aper On Best Lists As much As Band Geeks, Chocolate With Nuts Or Sailor Mouth It Still Gets Just Ad moat Of Praise To Keep It From Being Underrated

An absolute classic! Should be in the top 20 of all time!

This is a really iconic episode what is it here for?

This is not underrated, it's a classic!
