Spongebob becoming delirious from basically voluntarily poisoning himself and then hallucinating a giant hamster is the absolute last thing I'd ever imagine reading as an episode premise, yet here we are.
I love this episode, honestly a lot more than I thought I ever would. I had finished watching the entirety of season 11 about a month ago, but this is the one episode I had held off on watching just because the plot sounded so... bizarre I just never felt very drawn to it.
Which is why I was so surprised when I found myself wanting to rewatch it as soon as it ended. This episode is weird. Probably the weirdest episode of the show, even taking into account Squidward In Clarinetland and InSPONGEiac. But the weirdness for whatever reason just works here.
There really isnt a lot of comedy here. In fact, I cant remember any particular moment where I laughed at any jokes, I was too dumbfounded by everything that was happening on screen. But that's not a bad thing. As a fan of the weird/horror-esque episodes of the show, this managed to keep me glued to the screen and entertain me in the same way that episodes such as Gone and Squidward In Clarinetland did. It's just strange, and creepy (in a good way), and interesting. I don't know, I just like it. 8/10.
