This episode is a true classic in my eyes. Sure, it does get a little bit bland after watching it on repeat, but I can let it off the hook because it was early in season 1. The episode has a very simple plot (SpongeBob blowing bubbles), but enjoyable because of all the gags that circled around it, like "bring it around town!" (as well as the bubble blowing technique as a whole), SpongeBob slowing hammering one nail, and "Squid's got genes!". I don't have a whole lot else to say, but this episode definitely sets the standard for many other episodes to come, even if it isn't the most hilarious or interesting episode out there. It's just good to cuddle up and eat some chips while watching this eppy in all its glory, since it is just so relaxing. I give it a 9/10.

People might hate this episode because it's Squid torture, but I don't consider it's that at all. It's a really funny episode, with Squidward shouting at SpongeBob at the beginning, the hilarious scenes with Patrick, and the part with Squidward is the best. 10/10

This is another big episode of the series. It introduces those SpongeBob and Patrick annoy Squidward episodes as well as SpongeBob and Patrick learning how to blow bubbles. Also there were some funny jokes, and who could forget the bubble-blowing technique?

This episodes introduces SpongeBob and Patricks' love of bubbles. This episode has funny visual humor. The quote "It's a giraffe" comes from this episode. However, I do find this episode to have some annoying sounds. 9.5/10.

I'm probably gonna get some flack for this, but this episode is kind of bad. It is memorable but I didn't laugh that much besides the giraffe joke and maybe 2 others, along with the technique. The rest of this episode is quite boring, and the scenes with Patrick and Squidward attempting to blow the bubble are really annoying and go on way too long.

Bad Episode (3/10)

Even if this episode could be boring at times, I think it's entertaining enough to say it's a Great Episode
85/100

I think this episode is good, but the main problem I have with it is that it's super repetitive at times and the plot just drags on. What this episode lacks in the storytelling department is definitely made up for by the characters. There's some really good chemistry between Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward, and the whole thing just plays out beautifully. There's also some pretty funny lines in this one and some memorable moments. (most notably "It's a giraffe!" and the technique)

Good episode (7/10)

1. Help Wanted (9)
2. Tea at the Treedome (7)
3. Bubblestand (7)
4. Reef Blower (6)

Another unpopular opinion I think, I really like this episode which I know is not that unpopular but I think it's kinda underrated. I really like the calm first few moments of the episode and then the dramatic shift to Spongebob creating the stand is pretty funny, all the 3 main characters in this episode have their funny moments. Squidward has his great meltdown, Patrick has his famous line "It's a giraffe" and Spongebob just has all his weird bubble blowing techniques. The animation in this episode is also very good, some very weird off model scenes are shown and it is quite funny, what keeps this episode from being perfect it is really just the same thing over and over again and the ending is a bit stupid with Squidward's house getting caught away in the bubble, eh not the best ending but aside from that a very good episode which I really enjoy.

2a Bubblestand GREAT EPISODE 8/10

1. Reef Blower 9/10
2. Help Wanted 9/10
3. Bubblestand 8/10
4. Tea At The Treedome 7/10

Wait a Second. . .

With Spongebob taking a Bubble Break in a Post-sequel Episode of Spongebob like a Smoker. . .

Does this mean Bubblestand is Basically Spongebob Smoking?

8.5/10

This episode basically introduced us to SpongeBob's bubble blowing interest, and it didn't do too bad at it. It's got some hilarious jokes, and a nice plot. Honestly, the Squidward torture ::dolphin noise:: was half (more specifically three quarters) deserved, since Squidward was a bit arrogant at times. I also liked the technique joke. Some people might complain about that, but it's honestly some of the point of the episode, so it's alright in my book.

Tea at the TreeDome: (10/10)
Help Wanted: (9.5/10)
Bubblestand: (8.5/10)
Reef Blower: (7.5/10)
