    Episode 12: The Chaperone/Employee of the Month

    These episodes didn't live up to their potential, but had some great moments.

    "The Chaperone" Pearl's boyfriend breaks up with her, so SpongeBob has to take her to prom. This episode had a great premise, but didn't deliver. It had some funny moments, like the montage toward the beginning and the dance trophy gag. Good. 8/10

    "Employee of the Month" Squidward and SpongeBob compete for the employee of the month award. This episode definitely had most of its funny moments toward the end, my favorite being when Squidward is cleaning the tables and he rubs the rag into the table so hard it snaps in two. That's hilarious. And also it leaves you with a good ending when you don't know who actually won the award. However, could have been much, much better. 8.5/10

    Whole Episode: 8.25/10

    • Trivia
      In "Employee of the Month", SpongeBob says he won Employee of the Month 26 times in a row, meaning he has been at the Krusty Krab for at least two years and two months after "Help Wanted" when he was hired.
    • Goofs
      The calendar that SpongeBob looks at says that there are 28 days in the month. However, he is trying to win the employee of the month award for January, which has 31 days. February is the only month with 28 days.
