I won’t spoil the ending, but the way this trio are saved from the forest is so impossibly idiotic that it’s perfect. Squidward’s luck with this Magic Eight Ball of sorts is unsurprisingly worse than SpongeBob and Patrick, who end up with a delicious feast from a cargo dump while Squidward is left frying a cockroach over a bonfire. You’ll probably remember this episode best by its central object “the magic conch,” which gives advice to the three main characters as they’re stranded in a kelp forest. It has all the elements of a great SpongeBob episode: an outrageous premise, classic jokes, a satisfyingly goofy twist at the end and Squidward being driven so crazy by SpongeBob and Patrick that he’ll eventually need a therapist-or a straitjacket. When the health inspector starts to regain consciousness, they successfully convince the cops that he’s a zombie-you can literally imagine Seinfeld’s Kramer trying to explain this story to George, Elaine and Jerry, and none of them believing him.Ĭlub SpongeBob is the series’ most perfect episode. The pair think he’s dead, so they’re left scrambling to hide the body before the cops get suspicious.
When a legitimate health inspector visits the Krusty Krab, they decide to make him the most disgusting Krabby Patty possible, and he eventually falls unconscious. Krabs overhear from the news that there’s a man posing as a health inspector, just so he can eat out for free. There’s almost a Seinfeld-like outrageousness to many episodes, which is best exemplified by “Nasty Patty.” Much like the maniac in Hall Monitor or the robot in Imitation Krabs, SpongeBob likes to play around with false identities, and the misunderstanding that arises in “Nasty Patty” is also incredibly rich. One reason SpongeBob is so good is that many of its storylines would still be funny in live-action form. Production for that season was halted to work on the show’s 2004 partially-live-action film The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie-a box office smash which still holds up-but unfortunately, once Season 4 got underway, the episodes just don’t pack the same amount of laughs (or style of said laughs), which may be due to the show’s creator, Stephen Hillenburg, stepping down as showrunner. Yet when binge-watching season after season, the drop-off in quality after Season 3 becomes glaringly apparent. It’s obvious that the show has aged impeccably. It’s like an art installation of live memes. Rewatching SpongeBob for the first time in years is a surreal experience. The buddy comedy of SpongeBob and Patrick always ends in hysterical hijinks, the workplace dynamics at the Krusty Krab are painfully relatable and the annoying neighbor plots that result in Squidward nearly having a stroke may be the show’s funniest punchline.
Between its occasional adult-themed innuendo, ridiculous facial expressions, endlessly quotable lines and incredible comedic timing, SpongeBob isn’t just one of the funniest cartoons of all time-it’s one of the funniest shows, period. Its lasting legacy is due in part to its humor, whose appeal reaches far beyond kids who are bored on a Saturday morning. Practically every week, there’s a popular new SpongeBob meme, and the show itself is still grabbing headlines-most recently due to speculation that SpongeBob is gay. Since its late ’90s premiere, it’s gone on to Broadway, the big screen and video games, and the show has become god-tier television for millennials, Gen Z-or maybe they just embrace the memes, but still-and even rappers.
Krabs and various background fish are funny enough without their context, but it’s pretty clear that SpongeBob has unanimously become the most beloved cartoon of its era. How did a Nickelodeon cartoon that debuted in 1999 become the most-memed TV show of all time? Sure, images of hall monitor SpongeBob, greek god Squidward, blurry Mr.
