The SBC Top 50 episodes list

Nice list so far although I don't really like squidtastic voyage. But good list so far.

43. "Thanks, Mr. Krabs. I'll call you 'Hatty'. ...And that's when you showed up."


One Krab's Trash - 18 points

(2 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #12, The Cartoon)

While Mr. Krabs has his idea of a yard sale (dumping a garbage can's contents onto a blanket and selling them), SpongeBob comes along and buys a soda-drink hat for 10 dollars (paying Mr. Krabs $5.68 and allowing him to take the other $4.32 out of his paycheck). Mr. Krabs is satisfied until fish after fish come up to him, offering to pay him greater amounts for said hat, up to $1 million! Mr. Krabs runs to find SpongeBob, leaving a trail of money-induced saliva behind him.

Mr. Krabs tries to coax SpongeBob with other hats, but SpongeBob wants to stick with "Hatty", as he nicknamed his hat. Finally, Mr. Krabs resorts to scaring the hat off him by sending a "ghost" into his bedroom, who tells him that his hat is cursed and he will be cursed unless he returns the hat to its "rightful owner", Smitty Werben Jaeger Man Jensen. SpongeBob does so, to Mr. Krabs' surprise, who was unaware that Smitty was a real person. Now Mr. Krabs has to go to the graveyard to retrieve the hat.

After pulling himself together and remembering what SpongeBob said ("He was number one!") Mr. Krabs finally finds Smitty's grave. After quickly considering the ethics of defiling a grave for money, he digs up the grave, opens the coffin, and grabs the hat, with Smitty's head attached. After taking his head off and placing it back, he jumps out of the hole he dug. But Smitty and the army of the living dead fight to get it back. Mr. Krabs defeats them, but then it turns out that the hat is worthless. Mr. Krabs' "buyers" instead race after SpongeBob's new hat that has clapping hands.

Fantastic episode

42. "Yo ho, yo ho, near the hooks we'll never go!"


Hooky - 19 points

(1 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #7, 4EverGreen)

Fishermen come to Bikini Bottom, which is a perfect time for Mr. Krabs to tell his tale of... THE HOOKS! First, they dangle down and draw you close with their pleasing shapes and their pink island colours. And before you know it, you're either cooked and eaten, sent to a... *shudder* gift shop, or vacuum-packed in a can of tuna with nothing to look forward to but the smell of mayonnaise! But then Patrick convinces him to ride on the hooks, much to Mr. Krabs' chagrin. He tells SpongeBob and Patrick to never go near the hooks again.

SpongeBob starts off going to work the next day while Patrick goes to the hooks. SpongeBob doesn't follow him, but a hook stands right in his path. He at first declines it, but ultimately can't resist the temptation and hops on. But after he gets off, he finds out that he's hooked! He goes to Mr. Krabs for help, who was just busy giving Pearl and her friends free water. After he tries to deny going near the hooks, he finally caves in and takes his pants AND his underwear off. Humiliated, SpongeBob runs away, having learned his lesson (even though Squidward was operating the fishing rod the entire time).

Another great episode on the list and a fantastic season 1 episode

The episode itself has a great plot with lots of adult humor (The hooks acting like some sort of drug "I'm Hooked") I also love the ending

Just seeing Hooky on the list makes me say OF COURSE for an apparent reason.

Pretty good list so far, but I'm having a feeling that All That Glitters will be on the 30's.

41. "I'll give him 11 minutes."


Nature Pants - 20 points

(1 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #6, 4EverGreen)

After dreaming about flying with the jellyfish, SpongeBob decides to quit his job, give away all of his belongings, and go live in Jellyfish Fields. While Squidward is happy, Patrick SAD!

SpongeBob and the jellyfish first eat some kelp (which SpongeBob doesn't find as tasty as the jellyfish do). Then he shakes one jellyfish's hand, to which he gets a stinging reply. He then sees that Patrick and Sandy are having a picnic, except it's not just a picnic, it's a ploy to have SpongeBob come back home. SpongeBob doesn't fall for it, and doesn't want to come back home, which leads Patrick to try capturing him to make him a trophy. After a huge chase, SpongeBob finally hides in the hive, and Patrick gives up. The jellyfish then come back to the hive, but instead of a warm greeting, they take turns stinging him. He runs away from the hive and tries to sleep in a cave, but is thwarted by poison sea urchins.

SpongeBob then walks past all the buildings he used to know and love, sadly buzzing alongh the way. He then decides to return home, where Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Gary, Sandy, and even Squidward have thrown him a surprise party! They all give SpongeBob a hug simultaneously, but unfortunately, SpongeBob brought some sea urchins home with him.

I'm glad this episode made it onto the list, it's extremely underrated and a pretty funny season 1 episode

40. "Who am I kidding, I've never seen this episode before."


The Masterpiece- - 21 points

(1 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #5, 4EverGreen)

Apparently, Squidward makes an art sculpture for Mr. Krabs.

Pretty funny episode although it wouldn't have made my list

I'm surprise that episode made it to the top 50.

Wow. How did that make it on this list?

I'll give you a hint......

that70sguy92 wrote:Wow. How did that make it on this list?

Because not enough people sent their lists in to knock it off.

Well that is definitely true. (Btw, I just got that PM. Stupid Forumotion is glitchy.)

Yikes, that's pretty bad.

39. "Gold team rules!"


Pre-Hibernation Week - 21 points

(1 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #5, Steel Sponge)

Hibernation is coming up, and Sandy wants to be ready. She has to do all her chores around the treedome and get her extreme sports in! SpongeBob volunteers to participate in these sports with her, which makes Sandy overjoyed. Pretty soon though, it becomes obvious that these games were not meant for SpongeBob. Such games include fly-fishing (in an airplane), extreme jacks, and the classic "Find the Hay in the Needlestack"! After awhile, SpongeBob finally decides he has had enough, and takes refuge under Patrick's rock. When Sandy can't find him, she starts to panic. She groups the majority of Bikini Bottom together to help find SpongeBob (splitting them into Alpha Team and Gold Team, the latter of which rules). After days of searching without breaks, the townspeople grow restless, finally resorting to hiding under Patrick's rock with SpongeBob. Sandy frantically continues the search by herself.

Meanwhile, the townspeople discover that SpongeBob is under the rock with them, and they sell him out. SpongeBob finally confesses to Sandy that he can't play these games with her anymore, but Sandy falls asleep before she hears this. Hibernation has started! SpongeBob falls asleep as well. Meanwhile, Patrick comes up to his rock, and is shocked to see multiple people hiding under it.

38. "No more sufferin', no more sighin', no more pain and no more cryin'..."


Wishing You Well - 21 points

(1 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #5, Wumbology)

It all starts when Mr. Krabs finds out that people will throw good money down a well to make a wish, which gives him an idea to build a well near the Krusty Krab (with Squidward and SpongeBob's help of course). After the well is done, he appoints SpongeBob to go down in the well and collect the money at the end of the day. A few townsfolk come and throw their coins down the well, making wishes, but Patrick is the only one to get his wish that "SpongeBob were here to see this" (because he fell down the well with the coin). After playing a game of tag, Mr. Krabs comes at the end of the day to report that sadly, no one else had a wish that came true other than Patrick, which inspires SpongeBob to dig deeper for the magic, and he finds it!

Just then, Squidward comes along, laughing that SpongeBob and Patrick are in the well. But then he falls in as well, much to the delight of SpongeBob and Patrick. After a night of pure agony for Squidward, he finally gets lifted up in the well's bucket, and gets hit by a bus that's going "far far away from here", as he wished. Meanwhile, SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs that they "found the magic", which Mr. Krabs doesn't believe. However, Sandy's new telescope, Mrs. Puff's new ride, and Plankton's new height beg to differ. Just to prove that there is no magic, however, Mr. Krabs wishes that he was steamed and served with a side of melted butter, and then tosses in a coin. Sadly, his wish comes true, causing him to believe in magic.

Two good choices. I have had a rocky relationship with Wishing You Well. Some days I hate it, other days I love it

Two great episodes while one is extremely underrated and the other overrated and both deserve a place on the list

37. "Get off the stage!"


Shell of a Man - 22 points

(1 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #4, 4EverGreen)

SpongeBob is making Krabby Patties when Mr. Krabs grabs him and shows him to his "hidey-hole", the place where he keeps all his personal belongings. One of them is a picture of his old days in the Navy, where he was Armor Abs Krabs! His Navy reunion is tonight, as he tells SpongeBob. SpongeBob demonstrates his armor abs by punching him in the gut, causing his entire arm to disintegrate. He then goes back to make Krabby Patties.

Suddenly, a sound of distress comes from Mr. Krabs' office! SpongeBob rushes to the scene, and it turns out Mr. Krabs has molted! Now he says that he can't go to the reunion. SpongeBob tries to reason with him, but Mr. Krabs instead comes up with the solution of having SpongeBob pose as him, dressed in his shell.

At the reunion, Mr. Krabs is at first embarrassed by SpongeBob's behaviour. But he manages to pull the ruse off, and ends up winning an award for being the manliest of the bunch! Unfortunately, he can't come up with a better speech than a story about him jellyfishing and blowing bubbles. He promptly leaves the stage, but Mr. Krabs' navy buddies insist that he can't leave without giving Torpedo Belly one of his famous steely philly butts. Unfortunately, the pressure of Torpedfo Belly braks Mr. Krabs' shell, leaving a vulnerable sponge inside. Before the Navy can beat on SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs comes clean. Surprisingly, it turns out that most of his navy buddies were not what they seemed to be anymore! Mr. Krabs is satified, knowing that at least his shell would grow back.

(Side note: I know 4EverGreen's had some questionable choices for episodes, but I am genuinely happy this one made the list. It's such a grossly underrated episode, and it almost made my list. Almost.)

I am noticing a common theme here for 4EverGreen's top episodes on his list. They all involve characters getting naked. I guess that means All That Glitters is coming up somewhere down the line....

I predict ATG is going to be #33 or #34

What's with all the 4EverGreen episodes? :S
So far so...ok. Shell of a Man is not bad, but not top 40 worthy, IMO.

He had picks for Top 10 episodes that differed from everyone else.

36. "Jingle Bells, Mermaid Man smells, Barnacle Boy laid an egg! The Invisible Boatmobile lost a wheel..."


Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II - 22 points

(2 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #8, 4EverGreen)

It all starts when SpongeBob wins the Conch Signal as a prize for his life-size Krabby Patty mannequins of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. He decides to test it out, only to discover it's the real deal when Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy come rushing to the scene. He gets a lecture from both of them on when to use the Conch Signal, but he doesn't heed their words very well as he calls them over to open a jar of pickles, read him a bedtime story, and other various mundane things. Barnacle Boy finally has enough and takes it from him. But when spongeBob starts to cry, Mermaid Man takes pity on him and lets him ride with them in their Invisible Boatmobile.

On their way, they meet up with the Atomic Flounder, who gives a burning reminder of what he can do to Barnacle Boy when SpongeBob aggravates him. At the diner, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy both agree that they need to ditch the sponge. So they send him over to the jukebox to find their theme song. While SpongeBob looks, they escape.

Yes, they do escape, but into the path of the Dirty Bubble! Meanwhile, SpongeBob finds their theme song (and it's the special dance mix!) and walks out of the diner to look for them. He finds them trapped inside the Dirty Bubble! SpongeBob wants the Dirty Bubble's autograph, so he grabs a pencil and unwittingly pops the Dirty Bubble, freeing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy! They then dub SpongeBob a hero, and the three ride off in the Invisible Boatmobile.

How did this one get in here?

I actually don't mind Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II being on here. It's a really good episode and I wish I voted for it now in retrospect.

Good to see MMBB II make the list. It's one of my favorite MMBB episodes.

Steel Sponge wrote:How did this one get in here?

I like this one, though I wouldn't have put it this high.

^ Yup.

I think it's one of the first SB eppies I ever saw. it's not bad, but there are better MM&BB episodes.

Now it's Steel Sponge's turn to be in the spotlight.

35. "Ha! I am not falling for that malarkey!"


Skill Crane - 23 points

(1 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #3, Steel Sponge)

Mr. Krabs installs a "skill crane" machine in the Krusty Krab, and gives SpongeBob and Squidward each a quarter to try it out. Squidward is reluctant, but tries anyway and does not win. SpongeBob, however, gets it on the first try, which Squidward equates to "beginner's luck". Squidward tries again and again, but stops momentarily when he thinks of Mr. Krabs' words that the machine "will pay for itself". He soon gets back into the habit, though, and while SpongeBob wins toys every time he tries, Squidward never wins anything, and ends up giving Mr. Krabs the deed to his house as payment!

Going crazy from never winning a toy, Squidward turns to SpongeBob, who shows him the way of the skill crane. Squidward follows his advice, and wins a stuffed bear! He is overjoyed, but everyone (even SpongeBob) soon tires of hearing about his victory. When he tries SpongeBob's technique with a real crane, that's when things get out of hand. Squidward destroys a building and ends up in the middle of a group of very angry construction workers. SpongeBob tries to save him, but as it turns out, he can only pick up toys.

Meh,...It's Ok I suppose

W-wut? O.o

I'd like to remind all of you not to shoot the messenger. :$

34. "Sorry to disturb you during work hours. I just wanted to remind you about my birthday."


Overbooked - 24 points

(1 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: #2, 4EverGreen)

SpongeBob has made three commitments that he must fullfill at the same time: being the test subject for Sandy's invention, helping Mr. Krasbs put together a telescope, and bringing a birthday cake to Patrick's birthday party! He tries to go to all three at the same time, but it doesn't really work out. He finally confesses to what he's been doing, and they all seem to understand. Fortuinately, Sandy's new invention can create clones of people, so SpongeBob can be in three places at once!

Very good episode, I'm glad it made the list

lol another naykit episode from 4evergreen

On the other hand, Overbooked really doesn't deserve to be on this list in my opinion, but I'm not going to shoot the messenger

IMO, 4Ever needs to get out of my 40's/30's

Steel Sponge wrote:IMO, 4Ever needs to get out of my 40's/30's

As if Skill Crane was such a hilarious episode.

ok, 4Evergreen, we need to talk >.<
I'm usually glad to see people liking the newer episodes, but when it comes to ranking the best of the best, there are very few episodes, IMO, that deserve to make it. And we're on the 30's here :S
I know it's not your fault, Wumbo (no shooting no messenger ;P) but,IDK, guess my point is that some people should consider the general opinion sometimes *shrugs*

See, here's the deal with 4EverGreen: Any episode where somebody gets naked is an automatic A+.

Anyway, this one marks the end of a terrifying era:

33. "All that glitters is not gold."


All That Glitters - 25 points

(1 of 8 lists. Highest Ranking: 1 #1 vote, 4EverGreen)

SpongeBob cries for 11 minutes. Oh yeah, he gets naked too.

Don't shoot me but I don't mind that episode, some parts are actually funny. It does not deserve to be on the list but I don't really understand the hate for it besides the crying it was pretty good

4EverGreen is like Miachel Bay, but with a twist.
