    Graveyard Shift / Krusty Love

    Graveyard Shift - 10/10 Krusty Love - 8/10

    Average 9/10.

    A great time

    Every. Single. Time. I see SpongeBob dancing around Squidward's little boat going "Night, night, night, night", I get this goofy grin on my face. This episode is just a riot from start to finish. Other than above, I also love the bit with SpongeBob going to the dumpster and freaking out every step of the way, and how Squidward keeps his deadpan snark going even when telling a scary story and in the face of fear. As someone who typically works at night, it gets pretty quiet being in the kitchen all by myself for hours on end, so I really wish I had a SpongeBob to joke around with.

    Krusty Love? Yeah it's pretty good too.

    Graveyard shift review

    This is my all time favorite episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. (Yes i just called the show by its full name, i need to fill ten lines cut me some slack!) When it came out i was four and i remember being a little scared but loving the episode. Now eleven years later after SpongeBob SquarePants has gone WAAAAAY down in quality this episode still remains my favorite.

    Well i still got a couple of lines to go so lets see what else i can say about this episode...I liked the animation of earlier SpongeBobs because they used less cgi and it just looks so much better. So anyway i give this episode a perfect 10 out of 10 GO WATCH IT NOOOOWWW!!!!!!!

    The Pinnacle of Cartoon Comedy

    With two incredible episodes of Spongebob back to back, I can guarantee that you'll be crying out of humor, well... at least from my perspective.

    First off, was another great episode with both Squidward and Spongebob again, just like that pizza delivery episode. I love the dynamic between these two, they're polar opposites, yet they mesh together so well and create a hilarious time for the viewers.

    Then we have the romantic episode of Mr Krabs and Mrs Puff and ofc Spongebob in the middle because of his connections with both characters. I thought this episode was genius as it tied in with the concept of "Love vs Money", which was the conflict Mr Krabs was going through. This episode was incredibly funny and full of iconic memes throughout the episode.

    Edit
    • Trivia
      There was a scene that was later scrapped in the episode The Graveyard Shift, where a character referred to as "FloorBoard Harry" is seen turning the lights on and off the whole time. This was found in one of the storyboards for the episode and was scrapped due to unknown reasons and instead replaced with Nosferatu.
    • Goofs
      At the end of "Graveyard Shift"; the characters identify the character as Nosferatu (or "vampire") when they should call him by his specific name of Count Orlok.
    • Quotes

      [Squidward and SpongeBob cling to each other for dear life as the "Slasher" approaches]

      Squidward: SpongeBob, no matter what I've said, I've always sorta liked you.

      SpongeBob SquarePants: Squidward, I used your clarinet to unclog my toilet.

      Squidward: [with outraged chagrin] Huh?
