Squid Wood

Ok before everyone goes "ZOMG! I HATE SQUIDWARD ABUSE, SO LET'S RATE THIS EPISODE POORLY", I want to say that this is one of the best episodes of Season 4 to me, so I want to counteract all the hate towards this episode.

I mean you have to love how absurd it is that SpongeBob created a dummy version of Squidward because he wanted to play with him that bad. Then SpongeBob being able to hit Squidward's mannerisms down perfectly with the dummy. The only thing the dummy is that Squidward isn't is nice towards others. I mean I laughed at the dummy getting a 300 dollar tip, so random that it's funny. Plus the dance scene (while it was overly long) was pretty cute. Oh and how a dummy plays the clarinet? Odd, but I found it clever. Then, the dummy getting a contract and being able to achieve fame and fortune? Priceless.

Technically the only form of abuse Squidward actually got was the normal SpongeBob annoyance and people calling him mean and grouchy Squidward, which are true traits of Squidward. I am a Squidward fan, but in this aspect, the dummy never caused any actual abuse towards Squidward. Did the dummy cause Squidward physical harm? No. Did the dummy harass Squidward? While Squidward got annoyed by the dummy, it was just mere imitation of Squidward, so no. The only abuse in this episode Squidward (minus the bits I stated two sentences ago) can only be blamed on Squidward's personality. I don't see how the dummy being able to achieve fame and fortune while Squidward gets none is Squidward abuse. I mean yes it is Squidward's dreams that are crushed, but it's not the dummy's fault. So much hate towards Mini-Squidward is just absolute nonsense to me.

You can hate the episode all you want. I am not trying to make people change their minds. I just want to offer a different approach.

It's a great episode, i didnt mind Squidward abuse in this for some reason.
