Delivery of Doom!/My Father the Boat

My viewing experience so far of Spongebob Season 15 has been so uniquely joyous. Though some of the episodes have a tenancy to indulge in unfunny slapstick humour, the bulk of best episodes have been matured, laid back yet still excitable, but in a completely different sense. Spongebob is portrayed as an intelligent, dedicated and passionate worker, who ventures into his own little "hero's journey", faced with trials and tribulations, testing his courage, wit and optimism, which as it turns out, isn't without it's faults. Spongebob's greatest episodes are mainly defined by the protagonist's trials and tribulations, through lighthearted but organic stories that rarely feel dramatic, but that's its charm. It doesn't NEED drama, the way adventure time and steven universe do. The foundation of the show was SpongeBob's courage and resilience through challenges. This was a genuinely fantastic 10 minutes of animation, and sets the bar for what modern spongebob can be. Though "A Fish Called Sandy" remains the triumphant episode so far, I expect a lot of highlights. This was genius.
