Excerpt from my top 10:
1. Band Geeks
There are episodes that have quality comparable to shows like Hey Arnold!, Courage, or my personal favourite, Avatar: The Last Airbender. But then... there's Band Geeks. An Episode that goes above and beyond anything I have ever seen or probably will see. I'll watch this episode again and again and again, and never get bored of it. I'm angry at anyone who dislikes the episode. So what makes this episode so great? Story? Yeah. Admirable Moments? Definitely. Humor? Best I've Seen. Music?
...Music?
I can't even begin to describe how good this episode's ending is. First of all, I'll say that one of the most admirable moments in the show is when all of the Bikini Bottomites feel so bad for Squidward that they train all night just to help him impress his rival. To make him have a HEART ATTACK due to disbelief. This reaction... was called for. The song at the end of the episode is not only the best in the series, but the best in existence. What is this, you ask? The entire cast singing "Sweet Victory" by David Glen Eisley. This song still gives me hope today that Spongebob will survive. This glimmer... no, FLASH... of hope that makes Squidward jump for joy in the best ending and the biggest win for Squidward... and everyone... in the entire series.
