"what are they selling?" "chocolates." i still laugh so hard when i hear that ha ha sponge bob square pants is my favorite show of all time, i love that episode so much please put that episode on at like 5:00 or something, that would be awesome =]] thank-you

    It's a good but OVERRATED episode

    This Episode has funny moments but I was bored a few times . But I understand why this episode is so loved. Overall, it's a good Episode but not one of the best

    Misleading

    The show is misleading , how are we supposed to educate our children when we are made to believe that spongebob has squarepants when he is clearly a vertical rectangle wearing horizontal rectangular pants, where are the square pants?... I'm baffled, if that's a square then I'm a bear! I think the show should either go off air for false advertising and misleading young minds or change the name to spongebob rectangle pants!

    Praying for cancellation

    My daughter is only 2 and she has a half sister who is 7. I absolutely will not, under any circumstances let my 2 year old watch even a minute of this ridiculous show! It is so stupid! Not to mention whenever my step daughter watches she turns into a zombie and we cannot get her attention. So annoyed that this show is still on.

    Wow some of these reviewers are so dumb it's baffling

    I'm 30 and I'm rewatching these episodes and still laughing hysterically. This was one of the most brilliant kids cartoons of its era. I hear it's not great now, which makes sense, especially after the passing of Hillenburg. But the first few seasons were as good as cartoons get.

    The first episode I used to call my favorite. Not sure if it's better than Band Geeks, but def Top 5 SpongeBobs of all time. Can we talk about something though? Doesn't Spongebob know that crazy guy? He was literally at his house party the episode before and he's seen at the Krusty Krab plenty of times. I think he might be the "what did you do to my drink?!" Guy too. Unless those are all different fish who look exactly the same and they're all related.

    The devious con artist is such a jerk but I gotta give him props!

    This episode is so good because EVERY SINGLE JOKE lands. It's just so consistently funny. The funniest scene comes when Sponge and Pat meet an elderly woman and her 1,000 year old mother.

    "THEY'RE SELLIN WHAT?!"

    "CHOCOLATES!!!"

    "WHAT ARE THEY SELLIN?!"

    The Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy episode is adorable. I don't know who the Commissioner guy is but he's hilarious. It's a little more PG than most eps which is fun! It's fun to have a superhero episode and it all comes to an end in a very silly and heartwarming, charming ending.

    If you don't let your kids watch this, because you're worried about it rotting their brains, you're not a good parent. If your kid is enjoying it and laughing, you should be watching with them. Even if you don't get it!

    • Trivia
      Chocolate with Nuts is Tom Kenny's favorite episode of SpongeBob.
    • Goofs
      When the breaking news comes on about EVIL, villain is spelled incorrectly. It shows the acronym to be "Every Villian Is Lemons", while it should say "Every Villain Is Lemons".
