Thread needs more Seabears

Squidward: You guys are so gullible. See? I did everything that attracts a sea bear, and nothing happened. If sea bears really exist, why didn't one show up?

Spongebob: Maybe it's because you're not wearing your sombrero in a goofy fashion.

Squidward: Oh, pfft. Sorry, how silly of me! You mean like this? (Squidward tilts his sombrero to the right, laughing, but something off-screen takes the hat and turns it upside-down instead)

Spongebob: No. Like that.

(camera zooms out to show the sea bear that inverted Squidward's sombrero; it looks like a giant fish with the head of a bear and claws on its fins; it begins to attack off-camera)

Spongebob: Squidward, are you okay?

Squidward: (looking bruised and battered) No.

Spongebob: Quick! Jump inside our anti-sea-bear circle before he comes back!

Patrick: Yeah. Sea bears often attack more than once.

Squidward: Are you crazy? A dirt circle won't stop that monster. I'm running for my life!

Spongebob and Patrick: No!!

(the sea bear comes back and resumes mauling Squidward)

Spongebob: Don't run! Sea bears hate that!

Squidward: Thanks for the tip. I guess I'll just limp home, then.

Spongebob and Patrick: No!!

(the sea bear comes back and resumes mauling Squidward)

Spongebob: They hate limping more than running!

Squidward: Well, I guess I'll just have....

(the sea bear comes back and resumes mauling Squidward)

Spongebob: I should have warned you about crawling.

(the sea bear comes back and resumes mauling Squidward)

Squidward: What'd I do that time?

Spongebob: I don't know! I guess he just doesn't like you.

Patrick: Pretend to be somebody else!
 
SpongeBob is incredible. The wide variation in everyone's favorites tells you a lot about the show... A lot of good episodes listed here, but my favorite has to Idiot Box. The scene with the robbery and avalanches had me in tears, and I was probably 18 when i first saw them. Its not even worth posting the transcript, because its all in the delivery, but the clip is easy enough to find.

Didn't really stick with the show after the movie so I can't say if it's as good, although I will say that I was really happy with the movie itself. IIRC, Doesn't the hitman guy take off his sunglasses only to have another pair underneath? So funny.
 
I liked it, but I couldn't watch more than one episode in a row. It did random humor so much better than 99% shitty shows we are stuck with now.

Realtor Lady: What kind of fool do you take me for? HeÂ’s Squidward, heÂ’s Squidward, youÂ’re Squidward, IÂ’m Squidward! Are there any other SquidwardÂ’s I should know about?!

Gary: (in Squidward's voice with a pickle as a nose) Meow.

Realtor Lady: IÂ’m out of here.

Squidward: MaÂ’am, please! What about my house?!

Realtor Lady: I wouldnÂ’t sell a house for you if you were the last Squidward on Earth! (walks off)

Squidward: Wait!

SpongeBob: DonÂ’t...

Patrick: ...go!

Another good one.
 
lol another favourite moment of mine:

Oh, god... How can I forget that episode!

IMAGINATION! :D

It's so awesome that I think even fucking Solid Snake does that in his box!

Spongebob became worse after the movie?

It did for awhile it seemed. They dumbed it down a lot, made spongebob a lot more like a kid. The whole "goofy goober" mentality thing. Though it seems to have rebound quite nicely from what I've seen of the newest stuff.

the kid thing was there before... wasn't the grandma episode before the movie? I don't really see a difference in that regard.
 
Meier said:
I am proud to admit I have never seen a single episode of this show.
Hah. Not only have I not seen an episode of Spongebob, I've never watched Ren and Stimpy or Beavis and Butthead.

You may bask in my leetness.

Eh subtle difference. Old ones he acted like a kid, more recent they seemed portrayed him as one.
 
how so? He still lives alone and has a job right? I'm not too sure how many new ones I've seen maybe.
 
Patrick: The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.
*Imagines a cartoon of milk falling over and spilling*

Gets me ever time.
 
Another great one

Squidward: Empty you mind of everything that doesnÂ’t have to do with fine dining. Fine dining and breathing. (inside SpongeBobÂ’s head, we see a bunch of other SpongeBobÂ’s running around in an office)

SpongeBob #1: Just got an order from the boss: Dump everything that isnÂ’t about fine dining!

All: Everything?

SpongeBob #1: Everything! (everyone starts to panic and throw everything away) Come on, letÂ’s get moving! (walks up to another SpongeBob) Hurry up! What do you think IÂ’m paying you for?

SpongeBob #2: You donÂ’t pay me. We donÂ’t even exist. WeÂ’re just a clever visual metaphor used to personify the abstract concept of thought.

SpongeBob #1: One more crack like that and youÂ’re out of here!

SpongeBob #2: No, please! I have three kids! (more dumping persists. Scene cuts back to SpongeBob, with a blank look on his face)
 
I've always liked Spongebob. I haven't watched it regularly for quite a while now, but I'll watch it if it's on. The older episodes have a fair share of classics in there. The newer ones I've seen were pretty funny too, though I can remember a stretch where they were really bad, maybe right after the movie?

Spongebob tends to suck when they try to portray him as a kid.

First puff out your chest. Now say "tax exemption!" Now you must aquire a taste for free-form jazz.

Shanghaied is still one of the best episodes ever made for any tv show

Flying Dutchman: O-kay. Uh, three. You get three wishes.
Spongebob: Wow! Three wishes, Pat. Isn't that great?
Patrick: Wishes? I wish we had known that earlier!
(clock ticks back one minute)
Flying Dutchman: Okay, you got two wishes left.

No one got my Shanghaied reference :(
 
Patrick: This is the hardest part of every parent's life... I assume.

Patrick: Seeeee- creeeeeeeet. Seeeeeee- creeeeet.

Patrick: Spider! Spideeeeer! Spider!

Patrick: I think I'll eat it now!

Plankton: I went to college!

Plankton: All shall bow to me!

Spongebob: I cheated, I cheated!

Incredibly old mom: Chaw-klate.

I use these lines, spoken in character, weekly.



The whole swearing episode is a riot. The imagination box is stupendous, too: "Attention climbers, please hold on! The saws are on the way!"

Also always listen for "my leg!" when there's some sort of crash or pile-up.
 
I think I stopped watching when they started doing the prehistoric Spongebob episodes. Was never a fan of those. Actually, I didn't like it when they did any of their "spinoff" type episodes. Thinking back though, I think I may have watched the medieval special and liked it. That was probably the last episode I watched. And then that Patchy the Pirate and his parrot made it worse. Still annoyed me. Especially when they would rerun the episodes with him in it. I remember reading somewhere that that was the voice actor of Spongebob though?

Looking at Wikipedia, it looks like I stopped around Season 3. That's probably around when I stopped watching Nickelodeon. I should go back and check them out. I remember seeing some episodes of Season 4, but the ones that I can remember just from their names were never anything special.
 
I like all Spongebob, pre-movie was better of course.

What was the episode where everyone was running away from something FOR THEIR LIVES, I can't remember? Damn..

EDIT: I think it was an old man or something?

Squirmy the butterfly
 
Such a good show with many funny quotes and scenes
To remember a few:

Shanghaied – I always laugh my ass off when Patrick is driving the ship and the Flying Dutchman tells him to take the ship behind the rocks

Patrick – “Moving the ship behind the rocks!”
*ship scraping along the rocks doing massive damage”
Spongebob – “Oh, you can just buff that out!”

and again and again
Patrick – “Moving the ship behind the rocks!”
*even more damage*

--

Plankton gets me as well – “Goodbye everyone! I’ll remember you all in therapy!”

It was briefly mentioned, but the Training Video episode was fantastic.

POOP: People Order Our Patties

Oh poop, you never let us down!

My favorites have all been mentioned in depth, though. Band Geeks, Health Inspector, and Sailor Mouth are definitely the best I've seen.
 
I don't think anyone has mentioned my favorite, "No Weenies Allowed"

Spongebob is trying to act all tough to get in to a bar/club. The scene where he cracks his knuckles, and ends up breaking every finger is sooo funny.
 
You can always tell whichthe hand drawn ones were when Spongebob is constantly moving, I love the animation in these.
 
I'm watching the one where spongebob has to write an essay on what no to do at a stop light. The fucking animation is nuts, I love this one.
 
Mrs. Puff: Young man, tell us your name.

Patrick: Uh...uhh..uh....

Mrs. Puff: We just want to know your name.

Patrick: Oh...uhhhh..uhhh.........24! (people laugh)

Mrs. Puff: Oh great. Another genius.....
 
Hello? No, this isn't the Bird Man of Bikini Bottom. What? No, I certainly do not live in a birdcage. Who is this? Joe Momma? Well, listen up, Joe. I hate to break it to you, but flying is impossible. I have to go now. My head just hit the ceiling.

when i lived with the ex, her daughter looooved this show.
 
Yea... its Nick's fault the show sucks. Look, if you want to blame anyone for the show's demise blame Stephen Hillenburg for handing his creative producer role over to Paul Tibbit
 
I can't believe I forgot about my very favorite clip... Handsome Squidward!

In the beginning of the episode Spongebob accidentally hit Squidward with a door and he ended up looking like a hunk. After a bunch of crazy fans chased him he told spongbob to hit him with the door again in order to reverse it....

Yeah shortly after the movie the animation took on a more limited, sharp style and Tom Kenny's voice was continuously high pitched (older spongebob had a tendency to use a calmer voice half the time) Also the plots were just, i dunno just seemed like they started trying too hard.
 
Have I not seen any post-movie episodes or something? I never really noticed a significant quality drop... anyway, there's a reason its reruns beat out most new episodes of other cable shows, Spongebob is good shit.
