Initially I planned it to be a SBC-exclusive list, but then I decided to bring it here too. For now the other lists are on alt because I this is shorter and probably easier to finish.

Torts here , and this is my top 30 of the season 9 episodes aired up to 2015 (up to "The Sewers of Bikini Bottom"). I've a message for the people who read my blog: In that blog I look at episodes with different eyes, so don't be surprised if this list doesn't match up with what I said in the blog. Also, I made the season 9 ranking a draft, so if you had the idea to look at it to have more ideas of the ranking of the episodes, at least you tried. Okay, now the list can start!

Hint: Worst plot in the season

Yes, this is now my least favorite episode from season 9. The plot of this episode is just so weak and uninspired. I literally cannot believe how many aspects from different episodes this episodes borrows, and that's a big problems because then it seems like the episode doesn't have a clear identity of its own. Of course it does, but this episode is just... Well, let's start with the dumb reason that SpongeBob to be fired: a nickle. The writers literally didn't put effort onto this. They had a ton of possibilities to make the premise a lot more clever, but instead they chose one of the laziest and stupidest ideas I could have imagined. We know how much the Krusty Krab needs SpongeBob to keep its business, and we also know that SpongeBob doesn't earn a lot of money working there. But firing him for a nickel? No, just no.

. Besides that, the part between the firing and SpongeBob looking for jobs is so boring and slow: it's dull, not funny, and Sandy is out of character for feeding people with dangerous food. Even things like Patrick eating a tomato and a cucumber is very slow. The part with SpongeBob looking for a new job is very unoriginal either, we've already seen SpongeBob cooking nothing but Patties in another episode. Not only that, but SpongeBob manage to make snail food, which is totally not a Patty, literally in the next scene! This is how much the writers didn't care. The last part of the episode is definitely not bad, but incredibly mediocre: the only thing that is good in this entire special is the Killer Patty. But that isn't great neither because it's revealed that the Killer Patty was Squidward, who wanted to bring back SpongeBob because he hated the smell of the burning Krabby Patties even more than him, implying that he doesn't really care about the sponge. Also, Mr. Krabs didn't learn anything by the end of the episode, by putting a paying toilet. All this together makes it for a boring, uninteresting, slow and mean-spirited special. This feels like a stretched out 11 minutes episodes instead of a 22 minutes episode for how much filler this special had. One of the worst specials of the show.

This episode is really infamous for a reason: it's yet another Squidward torture episode which features him hitting his head a lot of times. That, folks, is a really big problem. Why? In this episode, Squidward hits his head so hard that his head inflated and he started to act like a baby. The trauma, called Head-go-boom-boom-itis (stupid, stupid name and wrong use of the suffix -itis), can be permanent if the head is hit again. It's made very clear that he mustn't be hit in the head by the episode itself. Then why the heck the writers decided to make Squidward hitting his head a running gag? Right after the hospital scene Patrick throw Squidward on the ceiling, hitting his head in the process. It's not funny, at all. I know it was an attempt at jokes, but the writers totally failed: it's just frustrating. The section with SpongeBob and Patrick taking care of Squidward is really tedious, but it had some funny moments, along with some bad ones. And to end this episode with a boom: the Krusty Krab section. Aside from the fact that Patrick erases himself from the plot and Mr. Krabs being totally careless about Squidward's condition, this part was just a complete trainwreck. Basically the humor was just lame jokes (for here or to goo), toilet humor (diaper), and most "hitting Squidward's head" in the entire episode. If the first part of the episode didn't make it bad, then this part does. And the resolution is also a bit stupid and doesn't make a lot of sense. There you have it, another really bad Squidward torture episode. But this is still slightly better than SpongeBob You're Fired because this makes me waste less of my time.

Okay, here are some good news and some bad news: the good news is that this episode grew up on me a little bit and I now think that it definitely isn't the worst of the season; but the bad news is, that I still think it's a bad episode. I don't think I even have a lot to say here that I didn't say earlier: the plot is not bad but kinda lackluster, the majority of the characters aren't likable (I get what the background fish were supposed to be here, but I don't think it worked really well) and it ends with one of the worst ways ever. Don't get me wrong, Squidward trying to get his hand on SpongeBob's diary isn't a bad premise, but I really don't think it's well executed. Squidward is kind of a jerk here, and I'm fine with that. But in the scene where everyone in town (who also were there to read the diary) insults him and rejects him and he loses his house, I don't even know if I should feel sorry for him or glad for the punishment he's having because anyway at the end he still shows no remorse for what he did. The final line made me absolutely give up on how I should feel for him. But what makes it better and places it in the "might rewatch again" territory is that this episode has comedy, which doesn't always work but for the most part it's there and it made me laugh a little but. There's definitly enough comedy to increase the replay value of the episode. So yeah, I still think it's bad, but not quite as bad as the other 2 masterpieces I've already talked about. I've met some people who like this episode, and I can't say I completely diasgree: I can see why people could like this episode, and I'm really not bothered by someone liking an episode that I don't like. Okay, we're already out of the bad territory now that I'm over with this episode.

Hint: For the sake of status quo
 
SB You're Fired: Awful.
Squid Baby: BURN THIS EPISODE WITH FIYAAAAAAAHHHH
LBB: Never seen.

This episode falls into the middle-of-the-road territory for me: nothing I really liked, nothing I really disliked. It's yet another boating episode, but nothing new is brought to the table: Mrs. Puff tries a new technique to make SpongeBob get his license; huh, okay. But to this point of the show, we already know SpongeBob is unteachable, we've already seen SpongeBob managing to drive, and we've already seen him almost getting his license. There were some jokes but only a few of them made me at least giggle. The trippy effects used in the episodes are cool, but nothing fantastic at all. And that chase scene was just there and a build up to that slap-on-the-face ending. At the end of the episode SpongeBob gets his license, and that's when the officer comes in, says that the exam wasn't valid and tears the license apart. Yeah, because the writers have never made it clear that SpongeBob won't get his license anytime soon, if not ever. And Mrs. Puff goes to jail, which also isn't the first time it happens, right? And the whole thing was just so boring and unfunny, but not to a very high degree, hence the reason I don't think it's bad. No, this episode is between meh and bad for me, and that stupid ending is not gonna making me change the entire opinion on the episode. Meh...
