The funniest part was Spongebob speaking German. The rest was good but not as great as this scene. 7.5/10
Well, I did. All Squidward wanted was a relaxing night without SpongeBob and Patrick, what's wrong with-....nevermind, I think I know that answer already.Honest Slug said:I didn't feel bad for Squidward when he couldn't sell his house since he lied to SpongeBob and Patrick leaving them homeless.
Um, no. He didn't. Squidward wanted a relaxing evening at home away from them.LeElephantMonster said:technically Squidward got what he deserved for lying by having him not having his house flipped.
Yeah, but when you LIE about it to keep them away is just plain old selfish. If they want to live in real homes, then Squidward should let them. He may not like to be their neighbors, but then if that's what he wants, he should just get it flipped, & not lie so you don't have to flip.Growlie said:Well, I did.

I cannot view the images you linked.What’s this? Another fun little episode? For me? Well, don’t mind if I do! “Sold!” is one of those episodes that decides to spend its time shaking things up, putting characters in different situations, changing a foundational aspect of the show for funsies. This time, we’re changing up SpongeBob’s house! Patrick’s too, but that’s less important.
The set up to our plot reminds me a lot of “That’s No Lady”, because it’s once again caused by Patrick being an idiot, though I think he had a right to be frightened by the sales guy in that episode lol. This time, he was fooled by an uncannily-timed commercial, and SpongeBob was too. The first person to take notice of their absence is Squidward. What’s funny to me is that I feel like we don’t even get episodes focusing on the fact that these guys are neighbors anymore, at least at the same frequency as we used to. I’m fine with that, but it does make Squidward’s immediate questioning about the peace in the neighborhood kinda funny to me. And hey, we get Smilin’ Rainbows out of it, so I love it (the instrumental of this track is excellent).
The episode changes gears a bit as Squidward decides to get a bit mischievous, further convincing SpongeBob and Patrick that they no longer have homes on Conch Street. And once we move from the Krusty Krab back to Conch Street, this is where the episode starts to lose me a bit. Seeing Squidward put on this fake German accent and persona to get SpongeBob convinced that someone has bought his home is not all that entertaining to me, sorry to say. And there really isn’t that much for me to say. I’ve never liked plots like this, with a character trying to fool others by being different people, so this is of no surprise to me.
A few more things that I couldn't fit into the main review: Y’all thought I forgot, but I didn’t. Gorgeous Background Alert to the nines in this episode. I mean look at this one, and this one, and this one! I just love the art in this episode, like not only the backgrounds, but all the cool environmental and house designs. Like the trash house looked cool! And then secondly, I think that this episode is really similar to one that we’ll be seeing in the future, “Unreal Estate”. And I’ma tell you right now that I like that episode more than this one. "Sold!" simply didn't resonate, nothing else I can say. Perhaps I'm being harsh on it by putting it in the "Okay" tier, but it's been literal weeks since I've used that tier, maybe I'm hungry for a bit of criticism (except not really, since y'all know I love being positive).
Episode Tier: Okay
Episode Score: 6.9/10
