Season 1: The Chaperone
It's either this episode or MM & BB 2.

Season 2: Christmas Who?
Not gonna lie, I can distinctly remember every season 2 episode. None of them are forgettable. The reason I picked Christmas Who? is because it airs once a year. I wouldn't usually count airing time as something to judge an episode's memorability (I didn't pick Scaredy Pants or Valentine's Day for season 1), but here I don't have a choice.

Season 3: Krabby Land and Born Again Krabs
The former had a structured storyline with nothing interesting happening. The latter had a lot of interesting things happening in a giant mess of a storyline.

Season 4: Born To Be Wild
Weird to say, but season 4 had a lot of story-driven episodes that made even the bad ones memorable. This one is just a little messy. Couldn't remember the exact way the plot panned out.

Season 5: Atlantis SquarePantis
Season 5 was jam packed with forgettable episodes, but I'm gonna pick a particular special that I could only remember having some songs and a hot rod bus.

Season 6: That one special with Neptune's son
So forgettable I forgot it's title (it's sarcasm).

Season 7: Every episode where Plankton disguises himself as someone close to SpongeBob to get the formula
I'm sure there's at least 3 of these sort of episodes in season 7. Every single one of them represents the show's dying originality.

Season 8: Most of them
I'm gonna be honest, season 8 is like a slice of plain bread. It's definitely not bad, it's totally edible and a sensible way to pass the time, but it's rather dull. Nothing great happened, but at the very least, nothing bad happened.

Season 9: SpongeBob You're Fired
SpongeBob is fired at the beginning. Gets his job back in the end. I fell asleep through the middle bit. I'm sure it's nothing important.

This is kind of impossible to answer, because if you truly trying to find the most "forgettable" episode, you wouldn't remember it or be able to post it. That's the basics of what forgettable means.

Season 1- "MuscleBob BuffPants" (Forgettable.)
Season 2- "Dumped" (Decent.)
Season 3- "Born Again Krabs" (Nothing REALLY memorable here.)
Season 4- "The Gift of Gum" (grossout in the form of a giant ball of gum.)
Season 5- "Le Big Switch" (because it almost never airs) or "Stanley S. SquarePants" (unfunny)
Season 6- "Ditchin'"
Season 7- "Hide and Then What Happens?" (only one or two really good jokes)
Season 8- "Squiditis" (I keep forgetting this one even exists) or "Barnacle Face"
Season 9- "Squid Baby" (this needs no explaining why)

seriously, it's basically Ripped Pants done less-well..... which is saying something because Ripped Pants wasn't all that great to begin with.
yeah it took all the plot from Ripped Pants
SpongeBob impresses Sandy by being funny and then it gets old when he pretends to drown (Ripped Pants)

SpongeBob impresses Sandy by being pretending to be strong with his inflatable arms, which causes them to pop after a lifting contest (MuscleBob BuffPants)

Although I respect your opinion, I loved Ripped Pants

Oh, gosh. I can't even remember the name of it. The episode where spongebob thinks Patrick steals his spatula. It's actually a good episode, just really forgettable.

You probably mean The Pink Purloiner, but that's his jellyfish net, not his spatula :P

Don't you mean jellyfish net? If that's what Patrick stole, the name of the episode is "The Pink Purloiner".

For me, they are -

Season 1: Neptune's Spatula
Season 2: Grandma's Kisses
Season 3: New Student Starfish
Season 4: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture (there's soooo many forgettable episodes in this season tho)
Season 5: Picture Day
Season 6: Ditchin' (I don't even remember the plot to this episode, I thought it was the vikings one but that's Dear Vikings, another forgettable episode)
Season 7: Trenchbillies
Season 8: Sweet and Sour Squid
Season 9: Bumper to Bumper
Season 10: House Worming
Season 11: Bubbletown

I just want to note that there are some episodes in this list that I really like, I just find them to be forgettable.

I think the most forgettable episodes in the entire series are Picture Day and Ditchin'. I haven't seen either in a very long time, and although I literally cannot remember Ditchin' at all, Picture Day feels like a fever dream, I think because I vaguely remember playing a game based on it before...

Season 1 - The Chaperone (Aside from the "Doing the Sponge" scene, I thought this was a pretty boring episode)
Season 2 - ???
Season 3 - ???
Season 4 - Funny Pants (A few scenes were annoying, but for the most part nothing sticks out in a good way or a bad way)
Season 5 - Waiting (This is easily the dullest episode I've seen)
Season 6 - Toy Store of Doom (Interesting premise, but nothing came of it)
Season 7 - Shellback Shenanigans (The best of the three Imitation Krabs clones, but that doesn't say much)
Season 8 - Squidward's School for Grown-Ups (Even when trying my hardest, the only scene I can actually remember is SpongeBob singing in the opera)
Season 9 - License to Milkshake (I actually can't remember any scenes from the episode, even though I know for a fact I've seen it)
Season 10 and onwards doesn't actually have many episodes I've watched since I lost cable around this point.

Season 6: Ditchin' (I don't even remember the plot to this episode, I thought it was the vikings one but that's Dear Vikings, another forgettable episode)
Well, it was on the Viking-Sized Adventures DVD (it's my personal favorite out of the episodes on the DVD)
