Top 10 Worst Moments in SpongeBob SquarePants Episodes
There are some moments in SpongeBob that make me want to say, Heck with you, SpongeBob! You suck!
So here's a top 10 list about it.
-
Plankton attempts suicide (One Coarse Meal)
Dude, did they really have to make Plankton attempt suicide? It's not cool to make jokes and humor out of such a serious topic about people killing themselves.
Why would you play around with such a topic as suicide? People killing themselves and no longer believing that they are worth living in this world, and that they are better off dead than surviving and succeeding in life, is a joke to you guys?
It just frustrates me that these people actually believe that suicide is something that can be joked around with and displayed in front of children. No wonder we have more people committing suicide, since they are seeing it in cartoons and episodes like these.

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.

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.
-
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.
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.
This literally makes my toe hurt. Seeing people's experiences of stuff like this happening to them in the comments does NOT help. Thanks, boys.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
I mean, Nick, really? Nobody wants to see a pus-squirting, swelling, purplish-reddish splinter. If you haven't seen this episode, you've been blessed by God.
-
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.
-
''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.
I feel that this is a yes and no statement.
No: If someone starts crying over a silly reason, people just look at that and say, "What a crybaby!"
Yes: If there's a legitimate reason. Patrick was upset that his own stupidity had ruined SpongeBob as he knew him, and probably many other things in reality.
But the truth of this statement depends on the situation or reason that's causing someone to cry. I don't think we should start crying just because we have a problem, especially a very small one, like forgetting to wash your hands before going to work.

Gary chooses Patrick over SpongeBob (Dumped)
This episode made me hate Patrick over Gary choosing Patrick instead of SpongeBob because of the cookie in Patrick's shorts, with Patrick rubbing it in SpongeBob's face while the piano music plays.
I utterly despise this episode.
-
?
The ending (The Main Drain)
Ah, yes, the same ending when they brought up Rob Reiner's North.
-
Sandy being too competitive (Squirrel Jelly)
-
Doorbell (Pet or Pests)
-
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.
-
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."
-
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.
-
Sandy gets arrested for Public Nudity when she's not actually naked (Someone's in the Kitchen With Sandy)
The townsfolk and the police officers are so hypocritical and idiotic. They laughed and arrested Sandy just because she was only wearing a bikini and underwear, yet most of the fish don't even wear pants, and some of them don't wear shirts. They are probably making fun of her only because she is a mammal and not a fish.
Plankton WAS naked, Sandy was wearing a bikini, Squidward doesn't wear pants, many fish don't wear anything (Harold in earlier seasons), and Patrick never wears a shirt, yet he gets service at restaurants.
-
"Ya know, kid, your body isn't the problem. It's your heart. You deserve what you've gotten." (Stuck in the Wringer)
This episode is my least favorite SpongeBob episode of all time, and probably one of my least favorite episodes in Nickelodeon history. The fact that Patrick is basically the reason why SpongeBob is stuck in the wringer, doesn't give less of a crap, never offers to help once, and is a jerk to him is just so annoying.
Then, when SpongeBob rightfully snaps at Patrick, Patrick is the one sobbing and crying at the end, when it really should be SpongeBob running away upset. But this quote is actually ridiculous. SpongeBob was never the problem. Patrick was. The townspeople heard everything SpongeBob said about the glue and how Patrick was the issue, and when he runs off, they are mad at SpongeBob. Wow. That is ridiculous.
-
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.
-
SpongeBob taking advantage of Squidward (Choir Boys)
-
Spongebob and Patrick arrest innocent people (Shuffleboarding)
Once again, Patrick's stupidity hypnotized SpongeBob into "helping" the town. He arrests two children for loitering (actually playing on one of those little horse rides at the mall), and SpongeBob soon arrests a prison warden for simply not finishing a perfect Krabby Patty. They soon lock up the entire population in the city, even a woman who they said was TOO OLD!
You're chewing too loud! Your shoe's untied! You're too old! You're black! You're autistic! You're exposed as a furry! You're disrespecting the Roblox community! And that's just to name a few. People end up in jail for doing nothing, even though SpongeBob and Patrick broke the law.
-
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!
-
Changing the plot in the middle of the episode (Shuffleboarding)
They are so dumb or blind that they think an angry mob is a cheering, happy crowd. Also, who the heck throws someone into prison for tossing a Krabby Patty or blowing bubbles?
I'd rather watch shuffleboarding than see SpongeBob and Patrick arrest innocent people! Sigh. It did the same thing Chicken Little did with its movie.
It turned from something people would actually want to watch to plain garbage. Predictable.
-
Mr. Krabs fires SpongeBob (SpongeBob You're Fired!)
This is one of the most controversial episodes, and it caused Fox News to immediately spread it throughout the media.
He is the same guy who drove Plankton to suicide and laughed at it.
An episode exactly like this was made before this, I think.
-
"Looks like you guys forgot your Boat Smarts!" (Boat Smarts)
I hated how SpongeBob was acting like a kid. Nothing has changed.
-
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.
That's wrong.
