Best Day Ever on this list is an interesting choice! The song's very popular but the episode itself isn't anything special, so I guess it's forgettable to some extent. All the other episodes, though, I agree with, but I think Mustard o' Mine is a great episode and I'll never forget it (though a fair amount of people probably would).

This is a thread for "forgotten" SpongeBob episodes, or episodes that not a lot of people discuss about. Causes could be that the episode has nothing memorable, boring, or is mediocre in general. Do you consider the episodes below forgotten?

Season 1: Walking Small
Season 2: The Smoking Peanut
Season 3: SpongeGuard on Duty
Season 4: Best Frenemies
Season 5: Le Big Switch
Season 6: Shell Shocked
Season 7: The Play's the Thing
Season 8: For Here or To Go
Season 9A: Bumper to Bumper
Season 9B: The Fish Bowl
Season 10: Lost and Found
Season 11: Call the Cops
Season 12: Dirty Bubble Returns


Do you agree that these episodes are "forgotten", or are there other episodes?
Walking Small is not forgotten. "Steppin' on the beach" is a classic meme, and Aggressive SpongeBob is adorable.

I agree that there are some memorable scenes from the episode, and I love the "Steppin' on the beach" part. But from my experience, I don't really hear people talking about it as much as other Season 1 episodes.

Speaking of Season 1, I'd say The Paper or The Chaperone are also sort of forgotten. What do you think?

I say Born Again Krabs for season 3 because this episode often gets overshadowed by other season 3 classics like "Club SpongeBob" and "Just One Bite."

People always hate on that one.
The Cent of Money is definitely a really bad episode, but considering how there's so many bad episodes in that season, I feel like it's kind of forgotten in some way. There's so many more notorious episodes such as A Pal for Gary, Stuck in the Wringer, One Coarse Meal, etc. for people to hate on.

strangely, the forgotten episodes tend to be in groups. Late season 1 has most of the most forgotten episodes of pre-movie, on the whole mid-to-late season 4 seems sort of forgotten at least compared to seasons 5-8 where all the episodes are super divisive. Season 9A in general seems forgotten, at the time people liked it but then it was overshadowed by 9B. After season 11 it seems like people have talked less about the individual episodes of the show, so I’m not sure which episodes are forgotten.

I forgot a lot of them but maybe that's just my bad memory getting to me

Honestly as much as I like it, Nature Pants, haven't seen a whole lot of people talking about that one. It's forgettable for season 1 at least

and then another one that came to mind was Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful, I can't even remember the season of that one

and I hate to admit it, but a lot of the newer episodes I've completely forgotten, and that's coming from a season 12 enjoyer, I'm not saying they were bad, I just forgot about them

Lame and Fortune and Gullible Pants are my picks I hardly ever see anyone talk about Lame and Fortune I really liked it Gullible Pants is pretty boring and forgettable so it's easy to see why it's often forgotten
