Dumped is one of those episodes that I barely ever look at. I dislike the episode so I never really watch it, so I can't remember every part about it. I never really thought about how boring this episode is, beyond the bad parts. I agree with what you said in regards to how the episode itself is bad, but I have to disagree about the placement of this episode on the worst list. I can see why it's your number 1, you enjoy nothing about it, but for me, even though I also enjoy nothing about it, it definitely isn't my number 1. I don't really have a set list, but if I did this episode would be like 4-10 maybe, I don't know if I'd put it in my bottom 3. What's interresting to me is that you actually never ended up mentioning my absolute most hated episode, Stuck in the Wringer. While I don't
like anything in Dumped, I actively
dislike everything in Stuck in the Wringer, and I think that's why it is my number 1 vs. other episodes. It's hard for me to understand how someone doesn't hate that episode, probably because I hate it so much.
Looking at your dishonorable mentions there's a few in there that would probably be higher on my list (Waiting and Pet Sitter Pat definitely would), but I basically agree with the episodes you have there, except for Penny Foolish, Born to be Wild, and Atlantis SquarePantis (I don't find this episode that bad anymore).
I think that bottom 9 Pre-Movie episodes would be great, even if we already know one of them, and it would be cool if you did a worst to best for all the seasons rather than just season 4. Either way I'm excited to see what comes next.
In the end, I ended up being 9/17 in terms of guessing the next episodes, so not the worst but not the best either. I can't wait for the next list so I can redeem myself.
As for your questions...
- I never did anything with Club Penguin ever
- I never did anything with the Trash Pack either
- I said this before but I'll just repeat it, my least favorite episode of the entire show is Stuck in the Wringer. I don't have a ranking but other bottom episodes would probably be Choir Boys, One Coarse Meal, A Pal For Gary, Pet Sitter Pat, Yours Mine and Mine, The Card, Little Yellow Book, and probably more but I can't remember all my disliked episodes.
- That question is a little too specific for me so I'll just say that for seasons 1-3 it's Sandy and Squidward, seasons 4-9 it's Plankton and Gary, and seasons 10-12 it's SpongeBob. I just made this up on the spot so if you asked me literally 5 minutes after posting this my answer may change. My favorite character is pretty fluid, it more depends on the episode I'm looking at than anything.
