Not much to say about this one: it's pretty standard and nothing in it really stands out. A land creature being famous underwater is a concept that can work. But when not much in it is either interesting or funny, then it's just wasted potential. I know that it was for plot purposes, but the fact that everyone in town is a fan of Kenny the Cat feels completely random, like it was famous for a long time ago even if it probably isn't. If it was mentioned in the episode that he's a new celebrity, I'd understand the whole story a little bit more. And this episode also has some weird physics: Kenny the Cat cannot breathe underwater but can talk underwater. That's odd, but since it's a cartoon it doesn't bother me a lot. Everything in this episode is forgettable: the story is eh, the characters aren't memorable, the comedy is light. At the end, it's just a pretty bland episode that doesn't give much to offer. Weirdly enough, the #5 episode of the bottom 5 is just a meh episode, meaning that the reason season 9 isn't really that good to me is because it has a ton of okay to meh episode whilst the pure bad episodes are just 3. The next episode isn't much better either, sadly.

Hint: Worst episode of 2015
 
As soon as I'm done with watching season 8 again I'll start the top 47 for that season. For now I'm to Bubble Buddy Returns, so I still I have a lot to see.
Number 25 coming soon.

After a perfect 1-year hiatus, this is the first episode of 2015. And it's also... my least favorite episode of that year. There are definitely things I like about it, but the story is just really boring and uninspiring. Basically the whole action we're supposed to care about happens to the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs tells a story about a Yeti Krab who eats lazy employees to motivate Squidward, the Yeti Krabs comes in, SpongeBob goes on a overdrive, Squidward, who thought that the Yeti Krab was Mr. Krabs in disguise, realizes that the Yeti Krab is real, and at the end they realize that the Yeti Krab wanted to eat because he was just hungry. That's the whole plot. The fact that everything relevant (or everything beside one scene) takes place to the Krusty Krab, a location whose overuse within the show isn't very much liked, doesn't make things better: it just makes them worse. I'm not saying that an episode can't be entertaining if it just takes place at the Krusty Krab, "Graveyard Shift" made it really well. But this doesn't feel like a fresh or compelling story: it's just very bland and forgettable. As for the things I like, I liked Squidward's lazy attitude in this episode, as well as SpongeBob going nuts about all the works he wants to do. The time cards were also a bit amusing, I guess. It's surely not a bad episode: it's pretty boring, but it's also harmless. I'm still wondering why Nick waited so long to air this episode.

!!!
The next two episodes are a tie. They got the exact same score and I don't know which is the best one. The one on top will be the first one in production order, but the two spots are interchangeable.

I don't have anything new to say: it was a little bit entertaining but nothing in it feels outstanding. Sandy trying to break every single world record can lead up to a good episode, but it's just a little bit repetitive with SpongeBob getting hurt every time. This episode even has a rather unnecessary beginning as well as a pretty jarring Patrick cameo. But I liked the characters interactions here and the ending, for how predictable it was, was funny too. I did get a few chuckles from this episode, but it's not really something I'd watch again. And while this episode takes a nice concept and does some mild things with it...

...This episode is the complete opposite: it has a weak premise but does some cool things with it. I'm sorry, but the premise of SpongeBob and Patrick doing some extreme sports doesn't seem original, at all. When I saw the plot of the episode, "Pre-Hibernation Week" and "A Life in a Day" popped out in my mind immediately. I don't even know why people consider "Squirrel Record" a rehash of "Pre-Hibernation Week": this is even a more big rehash of that episode than "Squirrel Record". Just replace Sandy with The Drasticals, add Patrick, and just take the extreme sports aspects that episode had: there, you have this episode. It's pretty repetitive too because it's basically SpongeBob and Patrick doing an activity (bubble blowingor wrestling, to name a few), and The Drasticals doing it the "extreme" way but I liked the visual gags. There were many of them and most of them got me, like The Drasticals getting stung by jellyfish, to name one. So why is this episode so low in the list? The weak plot isn't helped by the jokes, unfortunately. I don't get the point of that British fish: why is he here? We didn't really need him except for the whole "extreme spots" thing, which felt unneeded to the story. The season started with two okay episodes of the same quality, but it's not the worst start I've ever seen in the show.

Geez, this is already the third time I talk about this episode in a short span of time... I don't have anything new to say. The karate is good (not great, just good), the characters are decent, and the jokes used worked. But the story is incredibly lackluster and could've executed way better. It's not that the story alone ruins the whole thing, the other aspects aren't even that great to begin with. I've already talked enough about how stupid and illogical the ending is, so I won't lose other time here ranting about it again. With are the good things being just moderately good, combined with a pretty generic karate story, you get an okay episode that I'd still watch again but that isn't in my recommendations list. Short rant, but I honestly don't know what else to say about this episode.
