Time for episode 106, the Silent Killer. (No, I am actually really scared to post this. :/)
Episode: 45b
Season: 3
Please, don't think I'm an idiot, and yes you read that right. Acclaimed as one of the best Season 3 episodes, it's this low. There are a few reasons why, but let's begin with the positives. I think this was a good episode, with SpongeBob and Patrick filling the box with their outstanding performance. (I'm sure you guys would appreciate my puns if you didn't want to kill me :P) I think SpongeBob and Patrick were hilarious, with IMAGINATION, and their fake avalanche. It was truly a show. What they ordered was especially funny. However, Squidward was the best in this episode. I found it funny when Squidward tried to use that hat box, lol. And he didn't have his I hate everything attitude towards SpongeBob like he does now, which is a plus. That's it, honestly, in terms of positives. Now, to negatives. I think this is just like New Student Starfish, with very little jokes here and there. It was mostly just sound effects from a box. Not that exciting, and pretty overrated. Also, another thing I don't tend to like about this episode is that there is little replay value, once you know what happens, it's no longer funny. One of the reasons I love this show is because the episodes have a lot of replay value and you can watch it over and over again, but this episode, and NSS, they just don't have it. There are a big group of episodes that will be lower than general liking because of that reason, including one which may even cause a huge fanboy to send me death threats. Overall, an okay episode, which beat New Student Starfish by a hair. Overrated.

Favorite Quote/Moment:
- Squidward: I got to try to relax. Perhaps I can drown out their childish games with a little TV. [turns on TV to see a box conveyor belt channel]
- Host: It is here that the boxes reach their final stage of assembly. [changes channel to see a professor talk about a box equation]
- Professor: The equation is illustrated here by this box. [changes channel to a soap opera]
- Man: I couldn't afford a present this year, so I got you this box. [both hold up boxes]
- Woman: That's what I got you!
- Squidward: Isn't there anything on that isn't about boxes?! [changes channel]
- Host: And welcome back to Championship Boxing.
- Squidward: Heh-heh, I guess this is ok. I mean, it's not really about boxes. [two cardboard boxes are going at each other] I give up.
I'm interested (and a bit scared to the point I'd hide in a box :P) to see your responses, so comment away. :)
