I've been yearning for the day when the crew finally decides to take risk and give us a Thanksgiving SpongeBob episode. Thanksgiving premieres weekends are good and all, but why not experiment with what SpongeBob and friends would do for a holiday that hasn't been explored in the show before?

the reason why there hasn't been a thanksgiving episode is because turkey just doesn't taste that good. the spongebob crew are silently protesting a holiday in which mediocre food takes the spotlight over valid critique of america and our indiscriminate taste buds.

But wouldn't that mean that there wouldn't be any Christmas specials either? Not everybody celebrates that.
Yeah, but Thanksgiving is an American Holiday. Christmas is celebrated in many more countries than just the United States. Plus, a Thanksgiving special wouldn't really work, they live underwater, not on the U.S' mainland. Maybe a parody of Thanksgiving could be explored, but that's really the most I see when it comes to a Thanksgiving special.

The true question is how would a special like that work out? We would probably end up with Party Pooper Pants 2.0.

A Thanksgiving Special would really be good. If they continue doing yearly Christmas and Halloween episodes, there will be no room for variety and the show would be stuck reusing plots from past episodes again and again.

Idc if they live underwater, they need to celebrate other holidays besides Christmas and Halloween

We need episodes based off these holidays

  • Easter
  • Saint Patrick's Day
  • New Years
  • Fourth of July

Thanksgiving is just one of those holidays that I can't see in the SpongeBob world. I don't know why, maybe because of the direction they've taken with the Christmas specials?

I've always thought there should be a St Patty's Day episode.

They were shown celebrating the Fourth of July in Breath of Fresh Squidward.

Bunny Hunt kinda counts as an Easter episode. My idea for a Thanksgiving episode would to have us introduced to the Mayan ancestors of the characters, and how they discovered bubbles and other items the characters are thankful for.

I wouldn't mind a Thanksgiving episode, but since it's mainly a US holiday I don't see them celebrating it (Unless they pull a Christmas Who and have Sandy introduce it to everyone). Instead, I always imagined they'd have a holiday that's similar to Thanksgiving, but also it's own thing

Perhaps we have Sandy at an archaeological dig near the SpongeBuck statue, ready for her Thanksgiving adventure, who then brings up the Mayan ancestors of the cast as she find them? Would work as a spotlight episode for her. Bunny Hunt's not a conventional Easter episode, instead more a shout out to the most famous bunny in animation. Holiday episodes don't have to be conventional, even for this show. I can imagine a very serious episode (very special episode) based around
Memorial Day, perhaps about Krabs's military history and ancestry.
