Help Wanted/Reef Blower/Tea at the Treedome

Help Wanted - 8/10

Reef Blower - 7/10

Tea at the Treedome - 8/10

Averaging out to 7.6.

Help Wanted: My god. What a great first episode. It's got some really funny jokes and immediately establishes the characters, and tells you all you need to know about them. The episode doesn't overwhelm you with things that you need to remember, but it gives you just enough to make for a fantastic episode and a great introduction to the characters. 9/10.

Reef Blower: This episode is shorter than most episodes in the show, and the episode also doesn't have any spoken words, which means most of the jokes are told visually, which isn't a bad thing, because the jokes are hilarious, and it is just an overall classic episode. 8/10.

Tea at the Treedome: Once again, this episode is VERY funny, it has a lot of classic jokes that really make the episode very great, as well as being an amazing introduction to Sandy. 8/10.

Overall, this is an incredibly great bunch of episodes, with a lot of classic jokes that make this bunch of episodes into an amazing premiere.

This pilot is a fantastic opener to one of the greatest animated series of all time. it's humor is very vibrant and really shows huge potential for the series. there's a gag about a pinky, there's mr krabs and squidward trying to evade from anchovies, there's a literal silent episode, there is so much to this pilot to love and definitely one of the best animated pilots there are.

Help Wanted- 9/10

Reef Blower- 9/10

Tea at the Treedome- 9/10

Overall- 9/10.

The first seasons of Spongebob are some of the finest and funniest television I've ever watched. Ever since I was practically a toddler I've been a fan, and as I've matured over the years I've begun to appreciate some of the wittier, earlier Spongebob episodes much more. This pilot is the classic that started it all (I use the term "classic" loosely, as this episode isn't even 20 years old yet, but the fact that it is approaching that age is kind of incredible to me, especially since the show, no matter how much it has decreased in quality, is still going on), an episode filled with memorable, funny, and creative moments, this is as enjoyable as any cartoon I have ever had the pleasure of laughing along with. Below are my reviews for the episode's individual parts (which, in the future, will be how my reviews of this show will be structured from this point onward): Help Wanted-an introduction to many of the show's most essential and memorable characters that is a quick but entertaining mix of wacky slapstick, hilarious dialogue, and absurdist humor. Reef Blower-this is the shortest section of the episode, and it is also the weakest, but that doesn't mean it isn't great, because is it! It's a silent comedy that recalls everything from Buster Keaton to Looney Tunes. It's very cartoonish, but in a good way; it's not laugh out loud funny per se, but it's charming enough to make me smirk at the very least. Tea at the Treedome-definitely my favorite of the pilot's three, brief parts. The opening is purely physical comedy, while the rest is mostly situational and conversational humor, and the mix is pulled off quite well. Patrick steals the show as he always does (or, more appropriately now that modern Spongebob has sort of crushed his likable legacy) as he tries his best to help his friend out, but ultimately is stupid enough to nearly get him killed. He's the classic lovable idiot and has many side splitting comical lines in the episode, many of which I still quote today in "mundane" conversation
