You know, sometimes, it's best to not take things seriously. That ending was clearly just made to bring a reference to Squidward's nightmare that SpongeBob and him would protest
forever, forever, forever, forever.
This is a show with no continuity about a freakin' kitchen sponge living in a pineapple. I'm not saying 'it''s not your demographic' but i strongly doubt that ending had any undertones other than a silly little pun.
I should probably make that point in my topic
I love what you did with allt he seasons. Sorry to copy you by doing this but you get all my credit. :P
Season 1:
Overrated- F.U.N. I agree spot on with Pazza.
Underrated- Suds. IMO, it's a very overlooked episode with a seldom seen character pairing that WORKS in this episode.
Season 2:
Overrated: I'M WITH STUPID. If there's one thing I strongly agree with Mr. Enter about, it's that this episode is a freaking atrocity.
Dumped gets an honorable mention.
Underrated: Squidville. I think it was really creative because it both showed Squidward in a different light in which he took a stand for himself and a different part of Bikini Bottom with tons of new faces and places--let's not forget the jokes either.
Season 3:
Overrated: Chocolate With Nuts. Many of the jokes have lost their replay value for me after the years this episode has aired. Oh, and god darn it, I will stab that CHOOCOLLLAATTTE fish if he screams that one more time!
Underrated: Plankton's Arrmy. A lot of people think that this is a weaker Season 3 episode but I strongly enjoyed the fresher outlook and the creative humor in this episode. I wish there were more 'little bit of SB but mostly not there' episodes.
Season 4:
Overrated: Enemy-In-Law. Plankton is evil but it seemed out of character of him for me to decieve Mama Krabs. On top of that, I just disliked the humor in this episode. It's not THAT overrated though...
Underrated: Once Bitten. I've always loved the zombie-like plots of cannabalism and death in books and while I don't want it to become common in SB, I love it when things like this and Whelk Attack are born.
Season 5:
Overrated: How about none. They were either meh, or they were really good (Krabs a la Mode, and no, Mr. Krabs wasn't being ooverly cheap.. guys, that's his character. he was very cheap in pre-movie too... you know, the entirety of Mid-Life Crustacean, As Seen on TV... not unique to this episode!)
Underrated: Bucket Sweet Bucket: Squidward wasn't being abused in any way, everyone was in character, and it was kind of funny. See nothing to hate in this one.
Season 6:
Overrated: House Fancy. I think the first half is pretty good; the second half is awful and, unfortunately, not easily ignored.. IT'S NOT JUST THE TOENAIL SCENE EITHER! SpongeBob should have stayed home IMO.
Underrated: Krabby Road. This actually made SpongeBob look like it had potential for Season 6.... then a few more episodes came out. It was really funny, albeit cheesy--in a good way.
Season 7:
Overrated: That SInking Feeling. I still think it's good but I don't think it delivers anymore. It's suffering cwn syndrome (lack of replay value)
Underrated: Tentacle-Vision. I get that Squidward didn't deserve it, but at the same time, he was very arrogant and rude about the TV channel; why would you expect Squidward to get off scot-free? Especially when it's in his character to be rude and therefore punished.
Season 8:
Overrated: Mooncation
You have to have unique character ideas then EXECUTE THEM WELL too!
Underrated: Frozen Face-Off. It's okay but it's not AWFUL.. what's so bad about it?
I haven't watched enough Season 9 to judge that yet.
