I saw a review of that "Mrs. Puff tries to flat-out murder Spongebob" episode. And I saw that Spongebob himself is pretty fucking awful too. He literally cripples Mrs. Puff and tries to make light of it like it's funny.

Okay, I think it's time for me to do a review of a Spongebob episode that I think is terrible. But it's a weird kind of terrible as it's not a post movie episode. This review will be about what I think it by far the worst pre-movie episode, "Spongebob's House Party". 

 

I guess I'll do both the Patchy crap and the animated crap. 

 

So, it starts with Patchy hosting a party at his house in Encino. There's not really much interesting happening here except for a bunch of people dressed up weird and Patchy making unfunny jokes. This has to be probably the most boring out of all the Patchy scenes on Spongebob (at least pre-movie.) This whole thing just feels like filler.

Then Patchy says that this reminds him of a party that Spongebob had and then we cut to Spongebob at the Barg N' Mart. He's trying to get a can of whatever as fast as possible. When he makes it to the counter, he forces Lou, the cashier to sign his name and put down his initials like three times in his stupid fucking book.

If you're noticing this behavior is oddly anal-retentive for Spongebob, this is the main problem with the episode. It gets much worse. Then Spongebob asks how much is a party kit that he sees sitting on a shelf. Lou tells him it's free it he gets out of there right now. So, this episode is already getting Spongebob's personality really wrong. He's supposed to be eccentric and odd, not incredibly annoying. This episode almost feels like foreshadowing for many post-movie episodes. 

 

Then there's a joke about Spongebob inviting random people when the guide tells him to only invite close friends. I don't really have a problem with this joke, until the fish says their moving again. I never thought of Spongebob as being so annoying that people would movie away from him in these older episodes. I hate episodes of shows that intentionally flanderize the main character beyond belief just to get a few hit and miss jokes.

Then there are some okay jokes but the part about him putting deviled eggs in the pinata seems to be really odd. Spongebob is really unfun in this episode. 

 

mfQRZmL.png

 

Then, we make it to when the episode really starts to go downhill. He brings out this incredibly long,anal-retentive,strict list so nothing will go wrong. This is really out of character for Spongebob. The whole time the list is floating around the room, he's telling Gary all the really boring things their going to do in strict time slots. If Spongebob was throwing a party in any other episode, he wouldn't be acting like this. 

 

82h7pis.png

 

And then there are some more boring jokes about music with Patch and Potty. I'm sorry if I'm droning on but most of these jokes are horrible and the scene goes on for way too long. 

 

PoMngeV.png

 

Then, Potty brings out the Bird Brains, a rock band. Their music is so loud that it launches Patchy out of the house and thru neighbor's houses.I'll admit that I find this part funny due to how cheesy it is. 

 

3jFbwhB.png

 

And then it's ruined with an unfunny joke about the birds flying away from the plank instead of walking off of it. Can we get back to the Spongebob stuff already? 

 

9HwAZG3.png

 

Now that we've made it back to the Spongebob stuff, he's waiting for people to show up to the party. He starts freaking out when people don't show up like SECONDS after 8 o' clock. I hate to repeat myself , but this is extremely out of character and old Spongebob wouldn't act like this in any other episode. 

 

pzsjBri.png

 

Then when people show up, he starts doing incredibly boring and annoying things like forcing people who already know each other to put on nametags and forcing people to talk from greeting cards. 

 

At one point, Patrick and Mr. Krabs start laughing and Spongebob gets really angry and says the laughter isn't scheduled until 9:03 and if Patrick want's to throw a party, he should do it at his house. This is the point where Spongebob goes from being annoying to flat out unlikable. 

 

oQF0XAH.png

 

When everyone shows up, Spongebob goes into the closet and when he comes out, he sees everyone actually having fun. Naturally he has a panic attack.He walks over to a bunch of people and tells them that they cant do what they are doing until a specific time. He even vacuums a fucking cake out of a guy's mouth.

 

KnbcbF1.png

 

Finally Spongebob gets everyone together. And what incredible thing does he have for them to do? He's going to read the fucking comics out of the newspaper.Now I can see why everyone hats him royally in this episode. This is the first time I really hated Spongebob before the post movie episodes. 

 

lqvOu2V.png

 

He then goes outside to get another newspaper and when he comes back everyone is having fun again. Naturally he freaks out again. This episode is so boring. It shouldn't be a half hour episode at all. When there are major chunks of this taken out for the Patchy segments and it still feels way too long? You know that there is something wrong. Almost all of the Spongebob specials have problems with filler, but this is one of the first offenders out of them all. This episode feels like it's modern. 

 

YoTspUM.png

 

Spongebob keeps getting kicked out so he tries to dig in. He gets forced out of the hole by other characters doing the bunny hop. Then ,we see Spongebob freaking out over not leading the bunny hop...while wearing a bunny suit. This is completely out of nowhere but I do get a chuckle out of this. 

 

kFzxjw5.png

 

Spongebob then gets stopped by the cops before he can get back in. After some more padding, he gets arrested because the cops weren't invited to the party. This joke really isn't too bad but you can see it coming from a mile away. 

 

Yru1cOZ.png

 

When he gets back in the morning, Patrick tells him it was one of the best parties ever. Of course it was because he wasn't there, and he is completely oblivious to this fact. 

 

aW5pgtb.png

 

Now to end the Patchy stuff. Patchy does a somewhat funny dance, at least it's more amusing than the Spongebob stuff. Everyone's reactions are kinda funny to look at. 

 

6C4n3Bm.png

 

XlI20lD.png

 

And then then it ends with the song "Underwater Sun". I got to admit, this song is fucking awesome and it definitely the highlight of the episode. 

 

 

Okay. So my opinions? The Patchy stuff was mostly boring, but it was more entertaining than the animated stuff. There are still some parts which make me chuckle. 

 

The animated stuff is terrible. Spongebob is a horrible flanderized character throughout the whole thing, and a lot of it is really boring and drawn out. It seriously feels like foreshadowing for how the modern episodes would become. Sorry if this review is kind of crappy but I'm just trying to express how I feel about this episode. 

 

This definitely isn't on of the worst episodes of Spongebob altogether but it's easily the worst out of the first three seasons.

Yeah, that's ultimately why I found Whobob Whatpants to me so mean-spirited regarding SpongeBob's friends. They just get on his case on what were merely accidents that caused misfortune to happen. It's not Choir Boys-level of SpongeBob where he was deliberately fucking up their day just to get attention from them. And during the part where they realize they were too harsh with them, it doesn't feel genuine mostly because the episode seems more focused on why Bikini Bottom needs SpongeBob service-wise around to make some Krabby Patties rather than missing him as friend/person. It's like what Mr. Mysterious Enter said in his review, they basically want the good without the bad, and that's a lousy way to develop how and why they should cherish SpongeBob as their friend, flaws and all. But no, the moment the amnesia plot rears it's head and SpongeBob doesn't recognize them nor remembers what they said, they don't have to live with the guilt outside the "Sorry we ran you out of town" at the end which even then is contrived and forced as all hell.

I always hated any Patchy episodes as a kid. I never liked live-action stuff, so stuffing them in Spongebob episodes always turned me off. Now I can stand him a bit more, but I still skip through them when I'm rewatching episodes. 

 

Now as for the episode itself, I feel it's bad for a season 3 episode, but not terrible. Spongebob is an ass, yeah, but he gets treated poorly for it. I must admit though, that it should have been a short episode, like you said. Making this a special felt odd. Too overhyped. Also that episode could have benefited from Spongebob actually realising it was because of him the party sucked and people had fun because he wasn't there with his tight rules. It's important for a character to learn a lesson in situations like this, and for this episode it didn't happen. :/

Besides Party Pooper Pants, I feel that pre-movie SpongeBob only had one real dud: I'm With Stupid. 

 

Basically, Patrick's parents are coming to visit, and Patrick is worried because they only see him as an idiot. SpongeBob decides to pretend to be stupid so Patrick will look like a genius in comparison. So for the first half of the episode, SpongeBob is making a complete fool of himself, and Patrick and his parents laugh at him. That's right: Patrick immediately forgets that this is a farce and starts condescending to his best friend, who's just trying to help! Eventually SpongeBob has had enough verbal abuse and asks Patrick to lighten up on the insults. Of course, Patrick just keeps acting like a hypocrite and sees his friend as a joke. 

 

SpongeBob tries to confess to Patrick's parents that he's actually smart (which I wish the modern episodes would remember), but they think Patrick educated him in such a short time, and the trio continues to laugh at him. SpongeBob snaps and runs out of the house.

 

 

The reason I hate this episode so much is that it introduced the concept of Patrick being an insufferable jerk who makes his supposed best friend's life miserable and shows no gratitude towards his charity. Not to mention Patrick gets away with his abuse scott-free, which is my absolute most HATED cliche' in the modern series!

I honestly liked Spongebob's House Party to be honest. Spongebob did act like an ass in the episode, but to balance it out, he got the comeuppance for it by getting himself thrown out of the party, and then learning a lesson at the end of the episode that you don't need to keep to a strict timeline for a party. 

 

As for the two guys who Spongebob annoyed, let's be fair here, they could just be two examples of people who don't like Spongebob and were instead used for a joke. Not everyone in Bikini Bottom is going to like Spongebob, and since it's a cartoon, they're going to overplay what they'll do to get away from the party. It's the same way that everyone in the Simpsons likes Homer and let's his antics slide, but then Frank Grimes sees his antics, and despises Homer for it. 

 

Now, I'm with Stupid, that's an episode I agree is horrible.

To be fair, Oral Report is much worse than bland, it's one of those episodes that can single handedly destroy any positive opinion you had towards Patrick because it's that awful.

Another discovery I made last night: you know that adult version of Ren & Stimpy?

There's an episode called "Ren seeks help", and it is literally a living, breathing creepypasta...

Uhh eww. 

 

Speaking of Ren & Stimpy. A friend of mine refuses to watch the original show because his first exposure to it was an episode from the Adult Party Cartoon. He mentioned it being very disgusting and overly sexual. If that's the case.. erm.. I'm glad I haven't seen an episode from that spin-off. 

 

Also, could you maybe give a few examples of how it's a creepypasta? I tend to enjoy reading creepypastas because of how ridiculous they are most of the time, but I don't want to see that episode... mainly because of the stuff I mentioned before.

Oh yeah, saw MME's review on that too.

 

That title is but an understatement to what you'll see in this episode. Nor will it help you prepare for any of it.

There seems to be this unsettling recurring formula that whenever Patrick thinks he's remotely superior to someone in any way he turns into an egotistical bully in an instant. I get ego trips are common in cartoons (Pourous Pockets is a better handled role reversal with Spongebob and Patrick for example), but these happen so commonly with Patrick and to such abrasively nasty levels it's hard to like him. Rule of Dumb is another example with no subtlety or little buildup. He's either a total loser or he becomes an abusive douchebag.

 

The Ren and Stimpy Adults Party cartoons are rather gruesome. I can't completely hate Ren Seeks Help however, it had SOME funny bits. Also within some of his sociopathic behaviour there was some pathos about Ren. I remember hating a handful of Games era episodes because, similar to Mr Krabs and Patrick, they just overdid Ren as being a one dimensionally vile character, despite not being nearly as gruesome or adult focused about it. A Scooter For Yaksmas was a complete contrast to Son of Stimpy for example.

Oookay, I think I'll just listen to the audio of that one... 

 

That thumbnail alone looks like nightmare material. :V Not enough to spook me though, thankfully.

Yep, that's where I found it.

Fact: the guy who wrote it later went on to write SpongeBob. Including such "classics" as "Pet Sitter Pat".

Trust me, that thumbnail is perfectly tame compared to the actual content of the video.

To sum it up for you: disturbing visuals, sadistic mutilation, a rather graphic childbirth scene, torture porn and chainsaw sex.

Going back a bit (and someone's probably said this already by now):

 

Let's keep in mind that Nick wouldn't even let this scene:

 

 

because it was too violent, and yet this kind of crap flies with them.

 

I think we would all do well to realize that this was over a decade ago, before their programming went down the drain.

It should be noted that Ren Seeks Help was actually written in 1991 as an unused Spumco episode. I don't know how much was retooled since then, but I know the same writer complained they edited a lot of his stories during the Games era without his involvement (eg. making Ren more into a jerk in Ren's Pecs).

Hm, that probably explains why people say it's the best of the APC episodes. Because it's technically not a APC-era episode.

And that's only because the rest of them were complete garbage (or from what I've heard).

But the episode is supposed to be taken as funny.

Watching somebody torturing and inflicting pain on innocent living beings in a non cartoony fashion as we watch them scream in agony is not funny. Watching a child being brought up by fucked up parents is not funny. And having a character literally have a mental breakdown to the point that he lashes out and murders somebody is not, fucking, funny.

Ech, I remember reading a summary on Ren Seeks Help.

 

Fat Panda, as someone who enjoys reading his fair share of creepypastas, you hit the nail right on the head when you say that it's a real life creepypasta, as I had seriously had to check a few times to see if I was not on a page for users to post creepypasta. It had almost everything you'd see in a badly written lost episode creepypasta: characters reacting and acting far more extreme than they usually do, brutal violence, just overall tone that's just unnerving for such familiar characters. 

 

If this was an actually creepypasta, it would be your typical cliche lost episode, one that you would probably roll your eyes and say "Yeah. this is so fake..." All it's missing is the "Hyper-Realistic" imagery. The only thing that makes it creepy is that it actually exists, and the animators thought it would be hilarious for adults... It's not.

 

 

Getting off topic on that for a bit... Surely I can't be the only one who thinks that the spongebob episodes these past few years have been trying to be like "Family Guy for kids?"  I mean, it has all the mean spiritedness, uncomfortable moments, and randomness to pass it of as a "kid friendly" (and I use that term loosely) version of Family Guy.

Patrick has basically become kiddie Peter Griffin, so you're not too far off the mark.

So as you guys may have guessed by this point, I've discovered Mr. Enter (that's how you write his name right?) and his "Animated Atrocities" series, and they are very fun and enlightening to watch.

In some instances it got me to realise just how bad certain shows or episodes really are.

For instance:

While I still love Angela Anaconda and have fond memories of it, this at least made me agree that it was nowhere near perfect. And yes, hearing him tear the show a new one, despite how much I like it, is still hilarious to listen to.

Let's give this thread a revive with my most hated Sonic Boom episode.

Just a Guy. What can I even fucking say about it? It, and Blue with Envy are the two episodes I absolutely despise over Boom's first season, and that's because of the townspeople, which have the Spongebob problem of being a bunch of unlikable pricks who are never satisfied, and try to actively screw over Sonic at every main interval. On top of that, it introduced two of my most hated Sonic characters. Swifty the Shrew, and Mike.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned at any point in this thread (I'd honestly be surprised if it wasn't), but my least favorite Regular Show episode, and one of my least favorite episodes of anything ever, is  the season two episode Do Me a Solid. Oh, God, how I hate that episode. I've seen terrible episodes of SpongeBob, Family Guy, Teen Titans Go, and more that are stupid, disgusting, offensive or cruel, but nothing I've seen has filled me with as much rage as Do Me a Fucking Solid, and I cannot figure out why. Maybe it's because I like Mordecai as a character and can really relate to him, or maybe it's because Rigby is normally a funny, likable character, and I hate to see him reduced to being an utterly hateable dick like he is here, but something about this episode just really rubs me the wrong way, and has since I first watched it.

The plot of the episode is basically that Mordecai wants Rigby to go with him on a double date with Margret and Eileen so he can get somewhere with the former. Rigby isn't interested in even getting to know Eileen, so he initially refuses to go on the date with Mordecai. He is eventually persuaded to go, but only if Mordecai grants him ten solids. Okay, fair enough. However, Rigby decides to use his solids to make Mordecai look like a jackass during the double date purely to spite his own friend. The episode is frustrating enough throughout the first several minutes, but what goes down in the last couple minutes is what really seals this episode as a crowning achievement of shit. Rigby, with the intention of making sure Mordecai will never go on a real date with Margret, forces him to do something horribly embarrassing in front of his crush and all his friends, and then tapes it so he can rewatch the event with the other park employees. Then, when Mordecai rightfully decides to stop being friends with Rigby, him destroying the tape is all it takes for Mordecai to forgive him. Seriously, that's it. He didn't even apologize to his friend for what he did. I know this is probably supposed to be one of those cases where the character that was wronged doesn't need to hear the apology because they can already tell what the other is trying to say, but that does not work here. Considering not only Rigby's behavior in this episode, but the fact that he feels the need to act like an ass whenever Mordecai's love life is involved in the first two seasons, I feel he honestly should have been crawling back to Mordecai begging for his forgiveness, but nope. Since we've got to keep the status quo of Mordecai and Rigby being bros, we've got to half-assedly wrap up this horrible plot at the last second so everything will be back to normal next week.

Seriously, fuck this episode.

I really don't hate it or anything, but "Tin Hero" is one of my least liked episodes of Adventures of Superman. It was funny here and there, but even by the show's standards it made no sense, and this time not in an enjoyable way. Basically, there's this super wimpy guy who, as a result of a misunderstanding, fools himself into believing he's some great crime-busting reporter or something. Even though this delusion almost gets him into a world of trouble, everyone who knows it's not true (even Clark/Superman) supports his fantasy, for no apparent reason. Clark even verbally acknowledges that this delusion is harmful, and yet he continues to actively promote it! Not only does it fail on a logical level, but seeing people get credit that they don't deserve simply isn't enjoyable to me. I mean, they made the guy reasonably likeable, but it wasn't enough for me to actually enjoy him getting rewarded for things he didn't do. The best part of the episode was probably just being amused by the fact that the wimpy guy was a much more "mild-mannered" reporter than that show's Clark Kent, who was rather assertive by Clark Kent standards.
