    I Agree With Senorita123

    People, senorita123 is completely right. Where is the original, funny, adult humor type show that we all used to know and love? I tell you where it is, on a bus heading to the Bermuda Triangle. And then we get this stuff from baby land and keep getting these dumb, hyped up, stupid, not funny, childish episodes. I haven't been watching the latest Kid Choice Awards, but I do know that this show used to get a lot of those awards, and hopefully it still isn't. Spongebob was good from 1999-2004, but from the Spongebob movie and on, the animation changed, Spongebob changed, and more importantly, the SHOW changed. Nickelodeon needs to come out of their little turtle shell and start bringing back the old shows. Re-Runs or not they were actually FUNNY. Not stupid.

    1 out of 10 for a complete waste of time and anticipation.

    Decent Special

    Hello Folks Today I'm Reviewing The SpongeBob SquarePants Special Atlantis Squarepantis. I remember watching this special in November 2007 when I was a Kid. The Special is about SpongeBob & his friends going to Atlantis with Plankton as a Stowaway. SpongeBob & His Friend's Meet Lord Royal Highness voiced By The Late David Bowie. A lot of People hate this Special Because SpongeBob & His Friends sing the Songs & David Bowie as Lord Royal Highness Does not sing the songs Because David Bowie is A Singer. Anyway I Thought The Special was as Okay with some of the jokes Being okay like Patrick Popping the world's Oldest living bubble with taking a picture with a Camera. Anyway Decent Special that a give 6/10 Anyway Bye.

    Not that bad.

    I know the mixed opinions of this episode. Some say its decent and that they liked it. Where as others would say this episode was "awful, a major let down, probably the worst one yet." I personally thought this episode was unique and memorable. Okay, some of the songs were cheesy, but they had a nice tune to back it up. And all the different themes this episode had were cool. Especially the video game theme. But, after looking at some internet reviews of this episode, I'll admit, it did have its problems, some i can't really argue with. But over all, it was pretty good. Personally my 3rd favorite episode of this show. And if anyone's gonna ask, NO! i'm not a little kid. I'm in High School and i like this episode. Got a problem with that?

    I Enjoyed this Episode

    I Agree that Spongebob was 100% better Before 2004. Me Being a Huge Spongebob Fan, Used to sit Up all night sometimes just watching Episode by Episode and it keep me Entertained For Hours But now, I Watch a New episode and I'm Thinking, This is Boring And i never want to Feel that way about my Favourite Cartoon Show. I Enjoyed this Episode the Musical Parts really Lifted the Story and Made it a bit more Interesting than Previous Episodes, Although i do Wish they Would go back to Writing the Funnier Stuff, That is unless they have actually run out of Idea's And went the Childish Road to Cover up their Lack of Imagination.

      Lord Royal Highness has multi-colored eyes, green and blue. The late David Bowie, who voiced him, had one permanently dilated pupil, which many mistook as heterochromia iridium.
    • Quotes

      Lord Royal Highness: Gentlemen, what *is* art?

      SpongeBob SquarePants: [jumping excitedly, a hand in the air] Oh! Me, me! I know, I know!

      Squidward Tentacles: [shoving SpongeBob out of the way] I thought you'd never ask! Art is a conscious arrangement of elements that affects the sense of beauty!

      Lord Royal Highness: Not even close. Art is what happens when you learn... to *dream*.

    • Alternate versions
      When this episode is originally aired, the Patchy segments is absent, meaning the commercial breaks placement is placed on the following:
      • The first two acts is combined into one part, with the first break ending on the second act.
      • The third act is split in two, meaning the Plankton song sequence is placed after the second commercial break. The fourth and final act plays as usual. Also, the title card music starts when the title card first appears on the screen.
