"Are You Happy Now?" is actually a good depiction of depression, easy for kids to understand and for adults to relate to. And it was the first time SpongeBob had shown some sensitivity towards Squidard's need for privacy.
i like that episode too. i never understood why people hated it so much
I grew up watching SpongeBob seasons 1-8, when Nickelodeon would mix all of them around on their rerun schedules. And yeah, I think that was one of the newer episodes I enjoyed out of that set. I thought it was sweet that SpongeBob cared for Squidward's well being, especially after watching so many episodes from that era where he couldn't be any more oblivious to his emotions. I don't remember even minding the solution being so vengeful, because SpongeBob understood it without getting offended at said logic for threatening him or anything.
@@sober_katzthe suicide joke that gets repeated
Wait it was gonna have more than 2?! Ahhh that sucks so much!
@@ShadowtheTH-camr523 I didn't apply that dumbass, nvm ignore my point
As someone who grew up with a parent who watched a lot of HGTV, I really appreciated the parody of those shows in House Fancy. Looking past the toe scene, there’s also a nice subversion of spongebob screwing up actually working for squidward’s benefit
Same its interesting to note how similar the episode is to HGTV
I don’t get why people hate on "Are you Happy Now" so much. It’s a pretty good depiction of depression for a kids show. A lot of the hate probably comes from the Squidward sewer slide jokes but as somebody that enjoys dark humor it never bothered me
Same here especially since SpongeBob himself was actually trying to be genuinely helpful to Squidward. Nothing he did came off as too malicious
i don't like Dark Humor but the episode is kinda overhated and Spongebob did try to help him
probably of the references to suicide that most parents wouldnt want their children seeing
Yes I can totally agree. In my opinion I wouldn’t say the episode is that good but as someone who has bad depression it really captures depression really well and the suicide references wasn’t meant to be a joke like in One Coarse Meal.
It's hated because the sole reason Squidward becomes happy at the end is by hating SpongeBob
The real reason people hated the episode Karate Island was because in November 2006, Nickelodeon aired a 24 hour marathon of the top 100 best spongebob episodes. However this marathon ended up being controversial as most of the best episodes on the list were mostly from season 4 while fan favourite episodes were either low on the list or not there at all. The number 1 winner on the top 100 24 hour marathon was revealed to be Karate Island. This is what caused people to hate this episode. I think Karate Island is a good episode but its definitely not the best ever episode of spongebob. That would be would Band Geeks!
I think krusty krab training video is better
@@TMXMediaYT no the reason why we hate karate Island is because of there was pointless action including SpongeBob didn't need to be up there and mostly because some of the karate scenes were not karate scenes random moments until he meets the karate Island master real karate starts and when the master is down the ending shows him back up pointless episode didn't deserve to be number one in the marathon
@@andrewbaillie5549 I know but he said at the end that he thinks the best episode is Band Geeks so I shared the one I think is best
Yeah band geeks should be (and totally deserved) the best episode of all SpongeBob but I personally like pizza delivery more
I think Karate Island is a prime example of what can happen when someone lets power go straight to their head
You see why I enjoy watching your content. Not only your voice is so calm, but also you're the "healthy" type of critic who respectfully point out each flaw in a constrctive manner, while still looking at the redeeming factors as well.
That is why i like Strider, i discovered his channel throught the algorythm.
For me, he sounds like the youtuber Frigiel who had a very soothing and agreable voice and never overracted in any games he played.
I remember watching his Rain let's play, and it was trully relaxing, same with Journey and others.
Strider have also a soothing voice and is chill about people's opinions, it's rare when we can understand the difference of opinions online, and talking calmly about it greatly help the situation, while being mad made it worse.
Frigiel isn't known outside of my coutry, France, but he is equally as agreable and he managed to made me relaxed and amused.
@@QueSeraSeraaaa That’s why I generally hate TH-cam reviewers. They either too judgemental, are buzzkills, of just have a plain horrible persona
Finally someone who actually likes Night Light, I thought it was a fast-paced and entertaining episode
I most certainly agree.
I think it had some missed opportunity for jokes or morals, that’s all
Your here to Archive the fox
as someone with ocd making me very paranoid of night gives me bad obsessive thoughts about bad things happening. I really enjoyed the ep and found it realatable
I'd argue Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were shoehorned in, but that's a minor nitpick
Say what you want about the worst Spongebob episodes, at least they're not even close to the worst TV shows like Velma or Fairview
Absolutley right
Do you watch that video, he hates that show 13:51
The closest SpongeBob gets to Velma quality is One Coarse Meal. But even it looks amazing compared to Velma
Or All Engines Go!

The town's reaction to the butterfly was actually understandable, butterflies drink the sweat and blood of reptiles, and some kinds of butterflies even human sweat.
Holy God that's fking terrifying
Ok, ew
Most of Bikini Bottom are fish though, with some mammals and *maybe* some amphibians. I also believe only certain species of butterflies drink sweat or blood, not all of them. Wormy looks like a monarch and I don't think they eat or drink anything weird.
Butterflies also drink the tears of other reptiles! 😄
@@phantomstriderdid you watch checkered past yet?!
I wasn't a fan of Night Light either, but that part where Patrick gets dried by light and yells "MORE LIGHT!" was unironically funny.
And he tries to get the sun, his pants are on fire as he shouts TOO MUCH LIGHT TOO MUCH LIGHT
@@tacodude2687that ending had me CACKLING! “Patrick is Stupid” jokes done right!
@@AiLoveAidoru
Yah, it was way better than him just mindlessly eating everything...
And that's why I'm not a fan of the Tasty Pastry Party online game.
@@jonahboris6681 Wait, I remember that Flash game! Is that the one where Patrick asks for really weird and picky cake combinations and he throws up if you are even slightly wrong?
@@MattSayYay
YES! Though I have less of a problem with the gameplay itself, and more so a problem with the concept of "Patrick eats anything and everything". It was basically a turning point in Partick's characters where he goes from being a bizarre helper to becoming a man-eating monster and/or a bully.
"Wormy" may have been terrifying to me as a kid, but as an adult, it has grown into something classic and even fascinating. It's important to consider that as sea creatures like Spongebob, Patrick, and co. have never learned about the classic life cycle from caterpillar to butterfly; therefore, this change is what causes terror. The end also plays on themes of hysteria in a hilarious manner.
I actually liked Wormy as a character, he start out as cute then he became kind of terrifying during a close-up..😂
Has one of the best scenes from the series:
"WE DID IT PATRICK, WE SAVED THE CITY"
That meme was everywhere during the 2020 summer of love
I love how Spongebob gets back at Mr. Krabs in the Krabby Kronicle. Mr. Krabs threatens to take away Spongebob's Spatula and frycooking job if he doesn't write the most outlandish story yet. Spongebob does exactly that but he writes it about Mr.Krabs. I like it when Spongebob actually fights back and shows he isn't some pushover.
Especially during a time when SpongeBob is more spineless in the series. Krabs completely deserved it.
@@drewhanilf9283 It reminded me of the episode can you spare a dime? Where Spongebob finally snaps after being taken advantage of one time too many.
@@funnyblog100Spongebob finally learned to be "abrasive" but most of the characters took advantage of his own good side.
He would need to be more critical, esecially towards Krabbs more often.
And in Krabs' defense, he didn't say anything about Spongebob writing about himself. Surprisingly, who saw that coming a mile away?
There's one quotation I saw in that episode that left me mixed on this.
"How can you do that to such an innocent child?! It is sick and INHUMANE!"
Okay...one, how is Spongebob a "child" if he's working at the Krusty Krab? Two, how old is Spongebob in the episode at that time? I'm left so confused because Spongebob does things that can come off as childish at times, but yet he works as a fry cook. It's as if the viewers can't describe what Spongebob is supposed to "be".
The idea of SpongeBob going a bit over the top when faced with a fear seems to be a relatable idea as sometimes in real life when confronted with fear you may go over the top to solve the problem when there could be an easier solution, but you dont see it in the moment due to you trying to solve the issue and personally I would of just left the light on in my room then slowly tried to adjust to sleeping without it on.
Same, that’s literally how I conquered my fear of the dark as a kid, and since then I haven’t been afraid of it at all! 🥰 Except when it’s used for scary/entertainment purposes, since I don’t like Horror media. That’s what gets me but other than that, I’m good :)
Not to mention it’s perfectly in character for Spongebob to go over the top dealing with fears. In the Halloween episode he’s scared of everything, even his own Jack-o-lantern, and in I Had an Accident he’s scared to step foot out of his house from fear of breaking his butt again.
I think the original suicide attempt jokes in Are You Happy Now could be an attempt to educate kids on suicidal ideation. But it came off as callous jokes because Spongebob Squarepants simply isn't the right show to speak on that topic. It's too cheery and it's target demographic is too young. But it made me think. I glanced at the scars on my arms while watching that segment of this video and thought: How could such dark, heartbreaking topics as depression and suicide be introduced and explained to children in a healthy, nontraumatic way?
I’m surprised that there are kids books out there now that deal with the topic of trauma. There’s one about a dragon named Diggory Doo that goes through a traumatic event and it’s actually very well written. Would’ve loved the Diggory Doo series as a kid since I love dragons.
The episode itself was probably a reference to the creepypasta "Squidward's Suicide"
I agree however I think spongebob even with the inappropriate jokes helped tackle this topic well and in a way so it could help people who are going through the same/similar problems as squidward.
@@gryficowa Even before that starts circulating on the web, Squidward would sometimes flippantly mention suicide or self-harm. I think it's an interesting angle to consider that some of those half-hearted, seemingly hyperbolic and unserious comments have some truth to them. That's probably why Red Mist fascinates people.
@@gryficowa I think that was what inspired the horror story.
The “Night Light” episode is one I find real and reliable. I’m a person who sometimes can’t sleep in the dark. Some of those nights I let my imagination wander even though nothing’s there. Whatever thing I watched or listened to before going to sleep, turns things into a nightmare.
Yea 👍
By this point, I just want to see the process that these people who run this Scumbob Wiki go through when writing why a SpongeBob episode is infamous.
Probably just writing in a rage fit
Eh, from what it's worth alot of it seems like it's just parroting talking points from old SpongeBob rants from the Early 2010s.
i feel some editors just add episodes they dislike rather than episodes everyone else does.
I get the feeling that the people behind ScumBob Wiki are a group of those fanboys who thinks SpongeBob should've ended at the first movie and are basically just picking at the future episodes after that to try and take the whole show down. Kinda like Kotaku in 2022 or Fox News.
@@spydersoup8447Kotaku never improved, they went "batshit" crazy over the Catbat character from Crash Team Rumble..
The character is "noted" to be non-binary, but there are no indications of that.
There was Dingodile who is an hybrid between two species, but his identity was never questioned, people played around with this very memorable character, who's alignement isn't always evil, even if he is fought (like in Crash Twinsanity).
“Wormy” used to be an episode I was afraid of. Nowadays, it’s one of my favorite and most funniest 😂
Thank you for that Are You Happy Now defense. It's such a misunderstood gem that deserves so much better. It's probably the most realistic SpongeBob episode I have ever seen with the way it tackles themes of depression and I love how things take a turn with SpongeBob actually being compassionate to Squidward. It's one of the deepest, most mature, and most profound SpongeBob episodes. I'm gonna go as far as saying it's the best post-movie SpongeBob episode (specifically out of all the episodes from seasons 5-9). And yes, I prefer it over Sandcastles in the Sand unpopular opinion.
The suicide joke is bad but the episode is great
@@locomotivetrainstation6053 It’s not that bad
I can understand why house fancy is disliked because of the toenail scene, but I still enjoyed the episode. Mainly of how incredible Squilliam's house is.
I enjoyed House Fancy too. Even though we got Mid-season SpongeBob, he was still more charming than how he usually acted in those seasons. Also, how the heck does Squidward even have a toenail? He’s an octopus
@@XJIcequeen blame the writers. Just blame the dang writers.
@@christianparrish3292 I’ll take your word for it 😁
When were Squilium & Squidward cousins?? The "Oh no, he's hot!!" joke doesn't help! 💀
@@FurKid_the_Gg_roo_99they aren't really related.
Squilliam started out as a "mr.perfect" with a fancy house, and went (if i remember well) in the same school than Squidward.
Squidward said that he would be amazed by his hand, and it turned out to be true.
I remember that he lost his conscious and Squidward cheered along with his band, it felt good that he won.
For me it’s Spongebob, You’re Fired. I never cared for the plot, but I enjoyed the different scenery and seeing the different food get made.
Some jokes are funny, but not this one.
The first part was sad. I felt bad for poor SpongeBob but the second part was awesome and funny. 😁
I'm definitely not nearly as hard on SpongeBob You're Fired as most fans, but I certainly do find it to be poorly paced.
@@NightCloudI That’s how I feel :)
@@camdencoblentz3245 That’s understandable
I actually love I was a Teenage Gary for its horrific atmosphere.
Also, I love your SpongeBob videos!
I have got to say Josh, I wasn't expecting this today. I really love how unlike a bunch of top 10 channels, you don't go with the popular opinion most of the time, but instead just go off of you normal opinion, no matter how controversial it may be. Also, Ghost Host wasn't that bad.
He hates ED EDD and Eddy 😠 13:53

@@complex2live oh
Wormy has one of my favourite moments in the whole series. "We did it Patrick, we saved the city!" *City destroyed and in flames as he speaks*
i understand why spongehenge is disliked, but man, i personally always loved how oddly dark the episode was, especially how eerie the ending is.
People always misunderstand the ending of that episode
@@dadjackwillextras2887care to explain it then??
@@BanoraRuins I disliked it because as a kid when I watched it and saw the end, I was just like "Well...that's dark for a SpongeBob episode, makes me feel bad"
As an autistic person who was afraid of the dark as a kid and still needs at least a little ambient light to fall asleep as an adult, I always liked Night Light as an episode. This video's the first I'm hearing of it being "infamous". I've also always thought House Fancy was mostly an okay episode outside of... That scene. I also never really liked Spongehenge as an episode, but I respect your take on it!
Same.
Personally just because I’m a martial artist who’s completely obsessed with combat, I love Karate Island. The fight scenes are funny, badass, and really creative.
Spongehenge is genuinely one of my favorite episodes... I didn't find it to be mean-spirited at all (unfortunate for most characters involved yes, but not mean-spirited) and I feel like there was a lot of bizarre and cryptic stuff happening in this episode that was meaningful enough to actually have made me think a little about it, which is something that Spongebob rarely accomplishes tbh. I also thought it was intruguing how the storm just seems like an omen of a major catastrophe, like the moon from Majora's Mask getting closer, yet Spongebob turns it into a pleasant melody even if it doesn't prevent anything. Just really creative and unique overall and different from the usual tone of the series.
And to add to your statistics, as someone on the spectrum I also find myself often afraid of the dark, sometimes waking up and feeling the urge to turn on the lights, so I guess I might give Night Light a watch.
Wormy is hated? I thought it was great. A whole town is afraid of a butterfly. It's hilarious.
Not really a favorite episode, but I did kinda like Best Day Ever. I think if you ignore it being marketed as a special, it's actually fairly decent and has a genuinely nice message to it.
I agree. While it would have benefited from more comedy, I do find it to be a decent episode.
Yeah, and my family and I quote the song in it ("Best Day Ever") a lot. Well, at least I know I do 😅
It's the first thing I think of whenever someone says they just had the best day
It's not very good due to the idea of the plot being pretty much doomed to fail and Patrick being a jerk but at least SpongeBob ends up helping 2 characters and the song is pretty good, albeit a little repetitive. Season 4 has worse episodes
It's so delightful and refreshing to have a channel that isn't afraid to have unpopular opinions, and better yet, explain them in a respectful and cool-headed manner. Not to mention a channel that doesn't shame others for different views. Please never change, Strider
I think what I hate about the episode “Karate Island” is the lack of understanding of SpongeBob and Sandy’s relationship, both with SpongeBob’s annoying personality and the implication they’re not equal karate-wise, which is the initial premise. The threats are also just kind of boring and I really don’t like tropes that are just “character falls into obvious trap.”
Oh yeah I miss the karate choppers dynamic they would have more. I guess it doesn't it help that karate island was "choosen" or "voted" as number 1 SpongeBob episode on nick once.
I didn't even realize that Karate Island was supposedly trying to take a "jab" at Kill Bill.
It makes me wonder if Uma Thurman reacted as this and wondered if the episode was trying to take a page off of the "Kill Bill" acting right there.
I agree with your take on the Night Light episode. I too am on the spectrum (Asperger's in my case), and was terrified of the dark for a good many years (mainly due to the movie Poltergeist) until I got older.
I also like House Fancy, Wormy, Krabby Kronicle, Karate Island, Squeaky Boots.
Also, Ed, Edd 'n Eddy is my number 1 favorite cartoon to this day!
He's hates Ed Edd and Eddy so much. 13:51
i also like just how much the episode escalated
I actually was so scared about the dark I had a night light till I was fifteen where I forced myself to sleep on the floor in the dark and just face that fear, sure my back hurt in the morning and I never made that mistake again but I got over that fear.
@@joshuaobryan4896 I used to use the hallway light as a light source, but swapped to a beside lamp until I got over my fear.
Strangely, I find myself loving Jellyfishing.
Spongebob and Patrick aren't completely ignorant in this episode. They show a sense of awareness to each other's actions (e.g. Spongebob taking away the soup Patrick was blowing in Squidward's face and Patrick taking away the clarinet before Spongebob could blow into it with his saliva covered lips), not to mention how their excitement slowly dies down when they see Squidward get zapped by the big Jellyfish. I like how Squidward is in this 'has no mouth and must scream' state, it's funny watching him try and roll away from the big Jellyfish while remaining dead silent.
I have never noticed that his mouth never opened during the scene.. 😂
The scene with the queen jelly fish chasing squidward still knocks me dead.
Shoutouts to the ending on this one, actually. It’s not only nice to see Spongebob apologize to Squidward about it, but the fast paced delivery of Patrick’s: “Yep he’s still mad.” is golden stuff.
I think Jellyfishing is a classic episode. Spongebob done right.
And in a way where later episodes torturing Squidward just because he exists, Squidward is in a way rather meanspirited. While he does get tortured a bit, it's usually a response after he does something wrong, or 'instant karma' for his behavior..
Except for that part when Patrick gets angry and impales his hand for not being able to grip his jellyfishing net.
I agree with this video. As much as I enjoy watching videos containing heavy topics, I always get scared of the dark afterwards. “Night Light” was so funny and relatable.
“Are You Happy Now?” really spoke to me. As someone who suffers from depression, this episode makes me feel seen. Even though that fog clouding my mind doesn’t follow me around everywhere like it used to, sometimes I feel so devoid of emotion I can’t bring myself to care about anything. That’s not really good when you have some friends with psychological problems who sometimes need a little reassurance.
100% agree with you.❤
You always love a good spongy episode upload from strider!
Yes, yes I do. 👍
I really appreciated how SpongeBob wasn't stupid or annoying in 'Are You Happy Now?' like he'd be in seasons 5-9, since he actually saw the situation for what it was and really tried to help, something season 1-3 SpongeBob would do. It's still one of my favorite episodes.
I never get why Spongebob invaded his privacy, and why it's "funny".
Someone's invading your privacy would be trully angering, and being bothered on repeat is even worse.
As mentioned in '10 Darkest Kids' Episodes', SpongeBob wasn't doing it to be annoying, he was acting sensibly. He had to do it to make sure Squidward was still alive. It's true the episode doesn't get it completely right, though. I agree that the ending was kind of messed up.
What I hate about “karate island” is continuity error. Said error is spongebob not knowing how to fight back, but the previous episode “karate choppers” shows how much of a good fighter he is. Sure Sandy rescuing him is a good scene, but it still would’ve been great to see spongebob break free from his restraints and fight udon alongside Sandy.
Well, continuity errors is really a cartoon thing. 😂
I find Night Light to be pretty relatable to me as well. Sometimes I'll be hearing random noises around the house that I mistake for footsteps or things moving around, so it can be quite bothersome for me. I also happen to be on the spectrum, and while the dark can still make me feel unnerved sometimes (chalk it up to fear of the unknown), I find it can be pretty relaxing. Sometimes the sun and the lights are just too much, and I prefer how some environments look in darker settings, whether it be outside or inside.
My eyes cannot handle the light as they used to.
This summer, i wore a pair of sunglasses because i couldn't see anything well and i was afraid to get an incident..
Upon returning home, i made it quite darker but easier to handle.
I didn't know that "Wormy" even got negative reviews back in the day.
Night light is actually one of my favorite episodes. Since Mark Hamill makes a guest appearance. I wish he made more appearances in SpongeBob.
I enjoy that episode for its atmosphere and the surprising turn it takes in the second half.
Sponge Henge left me existencially scarred as a kid, but I cannot say that was necessarily a bad thing.
The horsefly closeup honestly made me freaked out by buzzing sounds near my ears.
I think that's why people are afraid of buzzing insects like flies, bees, wasps, and hornets.
The more I think about it, the people behind scumbob wiki are a little too sensitive, and kinda remind me of bubble bass.
Not every cartoon episode has to treat everyone like how they do in real life, but I still respect them as people
@@phantomstrider my favorite hated SpongeBob episode is ink lemonade
It's like the Loathsome Characters Wiki
@@Gamebuilder2000 ugh, i HATE that wiki.
They use the word "torture" as if a character simply arguing with another character is torture.

I didn't stumbled into it anymore thanksfully.
That stock footage of Wormy is just a close up of a horse fly not a butterfly.
I *do* dislike the Squidward toenail scene, but otherwise I find House Fancy absolutely hilarious! It helps that Squidward gets to win in the end...kind of.
IMO if they had just cut that scene the entire episode would’ve been better received by the public
Pizza Delivery was his best episode.
Squidward didn't wanted to deliver a pizza, but in the end, he get touched by Spongebob who cried after being rejected violently by a rude customer.
So Squidward threw the whole pizza and carton to the customer and returned proudly to his colleague, stating that he ate everything everything without the drink (or anchovies in some versions).
I am somebody that enjoys Spongehenge.
I like most of these episodes mentioned as well. I think the real reason people call "Are You Happy Now?" an infamous episode is because of the fact that it's so relatable and real that people don't know how to process it. I don't think I've actually watched the episode, but I've heard it described and yeah that's an accurate depiction of depression.
I suffered of depression since years and i must reckon than this episode was rightfully remembered.
It's infamous cuz of the suicide jokes.
Clearly whoever says “this is the worst episode” has never seen “A Pal for Gary.”
A Pal for Gary seems like a masterpiece compared to this
@@dadjackwillextras2887a masterpiece of failure, yes.
@@ShadowtheTH-camr523 A Pal for Gary is bad but not even comparable to One Coarse Meal
@@dadjackwillextras2887 I personally find A Pal For Gary to be worse.
Wormy is one of my absolute favorite episodes of Spongebob! The fact that an adorable butterfly manages to completely terrify the whole town makes me laugh every time.
When I was a kid I felt sorry for the Butterfly because "supposedly" SpongeBob and Patrick "forgot about their new friend" 🤔😅🙃🦋
I had laughed so much, like it's a cute insect that is perceived as a weapon of destruction..😂
I’m actually kinda surprised that people didn’t liked Karate Island, I thought it was really funny. Especially with how it ended when Squidward ended up being tricked by the same scheme but with clarinets instead.
I like Karate Island, but I wouldn't put it in my top 10.. heck, maybe not even my top 20.
Seeing Spongebob fall for a timeshare scam is actually something I can see him doing, and seeing the story play out is funny. I would say it's leagues better than an episode where Patrick is just being needlessly cruel, but thankfully, he doesn't impact the plot.
I have always loved it due to how cool it is and nostalgia as it's one of, if not the first SpongeBob episodes I watched. I'd even go as far as to put it over Krusty Towers as my favorite of season 4 if it wasn't for SpongeBob's arrogance. I know why he is arrogant but he goes too far with it.
I just got back from the doctor(thankfully nor Dr. Patrick, though it'd be funny if that was Mt doctor's name) and I'm mostly ok. Hearing I had a little high count of cholesterol and blood count was upsetting so I'm happy to see a new video from Strider. Strider, if you read this, thank you for being a bright spot in my and many others' lives. 😊
Glad to hear the doctor trip went okay! Good on you for keeping on top of your blood work! Nin and I just got our blood tests done too. Gotta get our iron up! 😄 Best wishes!
@@phantomstriderhow much do you hate Ed Edd and Eddy strider?!
@@phantomstrider thanks
I remember always looking forward to the Krabby Kronicle episode when it was paired with the episode that comes before it.
House Fancy is actually said "semi-infamous" on the ScumBob wiki, and "semi-famous" on the AntiScumBob wiki.
😭
House Fancy is a great episode. The Toenail Scene is horrible but that's the only issue
Despite personally not liking "Are You Happy Now?" because of the far-too-realistic depiction of depression and seeing an uncomfortable amount of myself, as well as the initial jokes that were in poor taste, I think that your perspective and explanation are incredibly important. Showing that the pain is due to mostly inner turmoil, rather than Spongebob being an oblivious fool, sends a powerful message, and it's important to depict that. Hell, it might have even helped people realize things about their own depression, and I can respect it for that.
I love that in the new episode "Friendiversary" when Spongebob flashes through his whole timeline with Squidward including alternate universes and things in the future, it ends with SpongeHenge
I just screamed at my TV when you read the first review of Ghost Host! “THAT’S ME! THAT’S MY REVIEW!!” hope you all enjoyed my David Cronenberg joke!
Had to explain why I was shouting to my Dad lol
Fun fact on the wormy episode in the old leap frog audio books wormy is featured in one of them along with idiot box and at the end sandy briefly explains that turning into a butterfly is a part of wormy's life cycle. Unlike in the show where it's never mentioned. Also in the idiot box segment of this book we do get to see SpongeBob and Patrick's are imagination like the ice climbing and Robot Pirate Island.
I still remember the Idiot Box, the sounds effects were insane! 😂
@@QueSeraSeraaaa Especially the avalanche
@@soranora4597 i bursted in laughter, it was hilarious!
Honestly, the joke where Squidward's toilet literally dies is so good for no justifiable reason.
Like it is literally toilet humor and dark humor, 2 really cringy types of humor combining into something that in my eyes... is surprisingly decent.
I’m so glad to find someone who appreciates this joke. It makes me and my dad crack up every time.
Strider at it agian with these interesting SpongeBob ranking videos.
I think the reason why Karate Island was so hated was because it was from season four. At that time, the show went from a masterpiece to a lesser masterpiece. And so people were not used to the subtle changes in the newer episodes.
Just a correction here: Sandy isn't dressed as the Bride from Kill Bill, both the Bride and Sandy are dressed in reference to Bruce Lee from the movie Game of Death, which follows a very, very similar plot line to the episode, albeit with a lot more violence because bruce lee movie.
it's always a pleasure when I see a phantom strider video in my notifs, i've been watching him a long time :')
Me too
I've been guilty of needing to turn on EVERY light in the house when I'm home alone, I get really spooked
Hey Strider, regarding that disgusting toenail scene from House Fancy, I’m more surprised that nobody questioned why Squidward had a toenail when he’s an octopus with tentacles.
That’s what I was asking myself when House Fancy first aired

I agree with a lot of these episodes, but one infamous episode that i enjoy and wanted you to add is “I heart dancing” I like this episode because it is funny and enjoyable, Squidward got his comeuppance, and it has funny jokes like Spongebobs dance, and when Squilliam wanted Squidward to do the same exact dance Spongebob did, that was hilarious to me.
This is an infamous episode??
I rewatched it not so long ago and I enjoyed it even more than I did in the past. It was hillarious to me and I laughed a lot. 😆❤️
Yeah, I remember that episode! “Who put you on the planet? Ugh!”
Good line. 😆
oh whoops! my bad, i read it wrong, in the scumbob wiki it said is was a “non-infamous” episode but i thought it said it was an “infamous” episode, sorry! But a real infamous episode that i personally enjoyed was the episode “Tentacle-vision” it was an episode that was funny and entertaining to me, everyone annoying Squidward was actually funny instead of torturing to me.
@@deansimons4119 Are you sure Tentacle-vision is infamous? It's a funny episode with a good story. Maybe people dislike it because of Squidward being kicked out from his own show, but that's the point of the whole comedy that it was going to be great but turned out worse than expected. I loved this episode and it made my laugh.

Despite how bad mid-season can be, I do appreciate that they try to put a good moral in some episodes. Even the worst episodes tried to teach the kids something. For example, the almost unanimous worst episode One Course Meal still had the lesson that there is such a thing as taking things too far. It’s not pleasant to watch, but it’s still blatantly obvious that Mr Krabs is going way too far with his revenge on Plankton here and we see just how much Plankton suffers as a result. And with how ruthless some people can get this day and age, the consequences of taking things too far in a conflict is certainly something that needs to be talked about more.
When the show declined in quality, Stephen put it back on the rails and leaded the way.
Ironically, the executives told him that Spongebob wouldn't work because "it's an adult character", they have probably never watched mr.Bean who is also an adult, but like Spongebob, he is also an adult who can have creative ideas and end up by saving the day (or ruining it).
I still admire Stephen, he cared a lot about his creations and poured his soul onto it, he had a knowledge about marine creatures as he worked as a marine biologist who made doodles in his spare-time.
He initially didn't hated, but saw no interests at de-aging Spongebob and making him a child version of the character.
It worked for a Pup named Scooby Doo, but not for others.
He knew what worked and what couldn't and had a great dedication to the audience and respect, he had those back rightfully.
Sadly, without him, i don't know if anyone supervised the show..
He was the only creator that i knew to cares that much about the state of his show.
13:53 Ilove the reaction when phantom strider hears that Truth or Ed is a better episode than the Krabby Kronicle.
cool Bro I Came When This Video Was 13 Seconds Old
yo ur actually first
Sweet!! I Never Got First To Comment Before
For me it was 4 minutes
I love your SpongeBob videos. I'm a big fan of this show and I'm happy that there are people who appreaciate every season of SpongeBob. I think the show should be judged by episode not by season. I've watched it since I was small and I always loved it. I started with seasons 1-3 but then watched seasons 4-present and in every season I would always find something I enjoyed.
I really like the episodes you showed in this video. Especially the night light, ghost host, are you happy now?, house fancy, karate island and sportz. 😁
5:21 wait, Squilliam is Squidward's cousin? I didn’t know that.
3:24 you have my respect for knowing about Jughead 😂
There was an awesome movie called Archie Advantures of cave man with Jughead as protag, awesome childhood memory
I think you meant The Archies in Jugman, which features Jughead as the protagonist :D
damn. Seeing Patrick run to the Sun was the funniest thing i've ever seen.
It's like the song Walking On Sunshine. Except you're running.
You just brought me a happy flashback of that episode, I forgot about that scene lol 😂
Patrick: TOO MUCH LIGHT! TOO MUCH LIGHT! AHHHHHHH!
Glad you decided to make a more positive top 10 on cartoons
Karate Island was awesome. Seeing Sandy go through a boss rush was so fun.
And the final finisher... That was amazing!
I think the reason why a lot of people hate Are You Happy Now is because that is one of many episodes in the show that loves to put Squidward through undeserved pain. A lot of adults understand and relate to Squidward, and get ticked off whenever they see him get his "comeuppance" for something he didn't even do or deserve. Hence why episodes like Ink Lemonade, Good Neighbors, Squid Baby, Are You Happy Now, Cephalopod Lodge, and more, are so hated.
Oh yeah, all of the implied self-harm jokes are another reason why, too. It feels like the show is making fun of depressed people with that episode more than anything. Are You Happy Now is very distasteful, in my opinion. At least some of the unnecessary scenes in it were removed, though. That's nice.
*But wait, people hate Wormy? That episode is a classic! How could people hate that episode?!*
Edit: fixed some spelling mistakes
I get what people said, but as i suffered from depression and did self-harm before, that episode is more accurate than making fun of an issue.
Spongebob handled the topic surprisingly well, but i don't remember if the others cartoons did as well.
But nonetheless, i appreciated the awarness of that episode.
It's been a hot minute since I've whatched your channel, you finally popped back onto my recommended and I'm so excited!
Hi Josh! While I've never seen the "Night Light" Spongebob episode, your list has actually inspired me to watch [and in some cases re-watch] these episodes. I also love the Squeaky Boots episode, that one was actually my introduction to Edgar Allen Poe's Tell Tale Heart! Josh, I have a question: Have you ever seen the documentary Claydream? It's the story of Will Vinton, and how his studio became Laika, it's a good, but very bittersweet documentary.
I always thought that the king of karate thing was pretty cool, gave me old Kung fu movie vibes
Same!
Honestly I adore the episode night light!
I remember getting my first job and I was a bit nervous to walk on the dark to work!
(Also not helping I was watching this creepy video series called vita carnas!)
Now I listen commentary from the TH-cam series oney plays!
Also my father gave me a lamp to fall asleep to!
I absolutely adore this channel. It's something I consider to be a comfort watch, and I always come back to it when I'm having a hard time, even if that means I'm rewatching old videos. Josh has certain personality quirks that feel so welcoming and caring twords his viewers and they always cheer me up.
Not only that but his insights and reasoning behind his lists are so logical, and make me rethink and question things on the episodes I never did before. He does incorporate his own opinions but instead of pushing them onto the viewers with the sole argument of
"Its stupid, I don't like it"
He gives genuine ideas on how it could be better, logical reasoning as to why it didn't work, and vise versa for things he did enjoy.
Because of his way of speaking it almost feels like he's having a well thought out and respectable debate.
This channel will forever be so comforting and enjoyable to watch ❤️
I’m pretty sure they never said that Squidward and Squilliam are cousins
Indeed, they aren't really related.
Sadly, Stephen isn't here to confirm or deny something..
5:20 Quick correction: Squilliam isn't Squidward's cousin. I only say this because the "Oh no, he's hot" joke would be incredibly weird if that were true.
Yeah, I got very confused when he made that remark.
Thank you. This made me realise I had a wrong context.
I am on the spectrum and I use to be TERRIFIED of the dark. It was impossible to get me to sleep without a night light. Now I can only sleep in total darkness lol
The king is back with another video!! 🎉🎉🎉
You know, what you always say about people liking things you don't and that's great fits so well, but the other way around here! In this case, you like what a lot of people don't and that's great! This is why I like going into something with fresh eyes. See things for myself to see how I feel, because that matters most.
Also... holy crap the Garfield Halloween Special! I used to quote that all the time! It's getting close to Halloween so... yeah, a rewatch is in order!
Are You Happy Now is excellent. It can help kids understand what depression is and Spongebob's treatment of Squidward teaches kids how they can help someone who is struggling with depression.
Every word you say and the way you just say them are just so beautiful
Phantomstrider is a very cool dude :)
Yeah he’s one of my Favorite TH-camrs
Very epic
Phantomstrider is a Sweet Cookie
I love the episode Ghost Host one of my favorites of Season 4…..SpongeBob being so blah about Dutchman’s scares is hilarious
And the episode about the Giant Stone things. Maybe the apocalypse started because SpongeBob wasn't there to make the Krabby Patties
I also like a lot of SpongeBob episodes that are hated
Me Too & We Can agree There Are Good & Bar Spongebob Episodes Out there.
let's Try To Love These SpongeBob Episodes For Our Childhood
I just finished this video, and I genuinely need to say how much effort you put into all of your stuff and how much it means to me. I think that one of the best things to say is that you're not just a generic critic who slams every episode they see past the first 3 seasons. I feel like at this point you make an effort to make positive content, and it really shows. I especially love how you criticize people who just insult the show for not being the classic era, because that's kind of why the show relies so heavily on past episode references like it does now; if people were more direct with their criticisms the show would probably be a lot better.
I also really like your criticisms here. I used to really hate episodes like Are You Happy Now & Sportz, but I feel like your reviews gave me a completely new stance on them. Especially for Are You Happy Now, the review reminded me of how respectful the episode is to people struggling with depression and also reminded me of how genuine-feeling and respectful SpongeBob is as a character here. And I don't mind him at all in really anything from the first 12 seasons, hell I even like him in episodes like Boating Buddies & Squid's Visit just because he's funny.
I feel like if there's one criticism I have, it's that you're using ScumBob Wiki. I'm really knowledgeable about this series' fanbase, and I can say with experience that the ScumBob Wiki seems like a nice place to find a grand treasure trove of all the episodes that are hated, but it's mostly little kids adding all of the episodes they like and making shitty puns. I do like how you made fun of ScumBob Wiki though, but I feel like if you were going to cover a subject like hated episodes again you probably shouldn't use it. Squeaky Boots, Wormy, Ghost Host, and Karate Island are very much beloved episodes in the fanbase. Note that the first three of those are hated a lot for having "scary animation"... kids in action.
I really like that, here, you're totally willing to cover episodes that ARE widely hated though (I do wish all of them were like that). SpongeHenge and Are You Happy Now in particular are totally hated, I never see anyone outside of my general SB-watching friend group liking them. But overall this is an excellent review and I kind of miss when you covered cartoons more often since I know that a cartoon video in the style of this one would be a really good watch. But yeah, I hadn't seen your content in a while and this video reminded me of why I used to love it so much. Great video!
Did you know that the Wormy close up scenes were from a episode of Bill Nye the science guy
When reviewing things, people need to draw a distinction between quality and enjoyment. You can enjoy a bad episode or movie, and you can dislike an objectively good thing.
On Ghost Host, i think because australian tv shows stuff like that for kids frequently, its less "offensively scary"
The live action footage in Wormy gave me a life long phobia of buzzing sounds near my ear lmao. I love the episode besides that.
Yay! A new SpongeBob list! Please do top 5 best and worst Karen episodes next
Sorry for being "that" guy, but Squilliam isn't Squidward's cousin. He's Squidward's rival from band class
Don't be sorry for correcting here. He said in the video that good criticism explains the problem, and that's what you're doing.
I honestly rate squeaky boots in my top episodes ever. As you’ve said, the boots were supposed to be annoying. Being on the spectrum, I can attest that there are sounds like that that drive me up the wall, and the episode does a wonderful job in showing just how much it can disrupt your life when it just won’t go away. I came to respect the episode even more when I learned that the climax was a toned down parody of Edgar Alan Pie’s short story the Tell Tale Heart, which similarly portrays a man’s guilt driving him over the edge via a noise that just won’t go away.
I'm usually very annoyed by sounds, but those boots never bothered me that much.
Was so excited when i saw you dropped a new SpongeBob vid!!
i completely forgot the toenail scene was from house fancy and “my jewel encrusted toilet paper holder” has been a vocal stim of mine for years, the way squilliam says it is just so funny to me
