Okay, i'm on a computer, nobody's watching me slack, so let's go!
I actually liked this episode. Compared to other after-movie eps i've seen (excluding seas. 4), i think this one stands out quite a bit. The motion, expresions, colors, jokes, roles, (maybe even setting?) etc. were all verry different and refreshing. Sandy so surprised her head jumps upside-down? I found that to be a bit surprising (haha pun) since usually the "guy mains" get the wacky expressions. Also the expressions in that treedome-storyboard gif are just so cute to me for both of em gahh.
Also; Patt, Squid, and (somewhat) Krabs are minors? And SpongeBob and Sandy are the mains?! Holy crap, that's a switch. Usually Patt, Squid, and/or Krabs are mains along with SB, since a LOT of the episodes take place in the Krusty Krab at some point. And if Sandy is ever a main with SB, Patt is usually there to tag along (*derp voice* cuz he's SpongeBob's BEST FRIEND EVER so they MUST be together!!! [/sarcasm] But thats not how the world works see--) By the end, i was honestly like "Wait, Patrick wasn't on the whole episode!" before remembering he WAS there, and then i switched to Squid. And remembered like 5 whole minutes later he was there TOO. (I honestly think Krabs was sorta between minor and main roles, but whatever.) And where did this episode take place 50% of the time? The Krusty Krab! See? It really IS possible to not focus on characters for too long despite setting[, Nick]! I really liked this switch. A SB/Sandy duo plot that isn't at the treedome 90% of the episode.
Also, that one scene where SB discovers Kenny still has that air tank, in the bathroom? OH MY GOD. Was anyone else reminded of a cheesy "i just discovered you're cheating on me" kinda scene? I admit; i actually laughed during this episode. At this scene too, in fact. From the heart breaking to SB running out and Kenny's all "nooo, you don't understand!" Just... xD
And oh my gosh. That one scene after. "I should really see someone about this or I might get.... DEPRESSED." If i had a dring i would've sprayed it everywhere at this point omg. There were a few major things with this quote that i just-- First, i actually have depression, so when he said this i was (actually not offended, but) really surprised. Second; SB is such an optimistic character, hearing him say he'd get depressed is like "lol wait wut" Third; THAT EXPRESSION OMG, WILL REMEMBER 5EVUR
Also, in contrast to most peeps, I actually laughed at Sandy's taunting Kenny near the end. Oh, the wonders of oxygen (or no oxygen!) :P
But this episode really is about every big fandom ever. Also the begining; listing all the Kenny merch? Any similarities with our SpongeBob merch...? There's been so many promotions for the show lately, I wouldnt be surprised if SB really did get his own football field... xD
(Also, there used to be Sailor Moon everything. Look merch up, lol. There's also Hello Kitty everything; you can't deny, even if you're not in her fandom. We have a HK toaster for cryin--)
I really could just go on & on about this epi.... I won't nesecarilly say "it's the best episode eveeeeerr", but imo it's really not deserving of any hate.
I really do feel like this episode is just a big inside joke, that could go for multiple things. xD
Due to my indecisiveness, i can't really give a number grade... but i probably would give it an 8/10.
Also, there was Kenny the Cat everything, but no videogames mentioned? lol *makes Kenny the Cat videogame because joke* but what if i really did
