    Horrible & Very Mean Spirited Episode

    Wow I really didn't like this episode of SpongeBob. Anyway the episode I'm Reviewing is the episode WhoBob Whatpants (What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?) The Episode is About SpongeBob losing his Memory after Leaving The Bikini Bottom after his Friends called him Idiot Boy and he Cries & leaves The Bikini Bottom & Mr. Krabs, Sandy & Patrick feel bad what they did but not Squidward who acts like totally Jerk in this Episode. Squidward Basically only what's to Get SpongeBob Back so he can get this Stupid Egg that Mr. Krabs would only give if he Patrick & Sandy bring him back. Anyway the Egg that Squidward got From Mr. Krabs Falls on SpongeBob's Head Causing to regain his Memory & Everybody is happy to have SpongeBob Back to normal everybody but Squidward who throws his Brain in the Garbage. Anyway this episode was Horrible & Very Mean Spirited. 1/10.

      Squidward Tentacles: [picks up the invention Sandy built] Sk your saying this thing could find SpongeBob?

      Sandy Cheeks: You got it Squidcakes but it's gonna take all of us to find...

      [Squidward smashes the invention to pieces stammering as he does it . Everyone gasps as they see the invention in pieces]

      Squidward Tentacles: [breathing heavily then in an anticlimactic voice] Oops I dropped it.

      Squidward Tentacles: [after water shoots from his nose he runs up to Squidward very angry]

      [screaming]

      Squidward Tentacles: MR. SQUIDWAAAAARD! This device was me last chance to get this place back into shipshape, and since you destroyed it I'm ordering you now to find SpongeBob!

      Squidward Tentacles: Ha! I wouldn't seek out that twit for all the leotards in the sea.

      Mr. Krabs: If you don't find him you'll be out of a job forever!

      Squidward Tentacles: Is that you're version of threat?

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening sequence, Painty and the kids all say "WhoBob WhatPants" instead of "Spongebob Squarepants" and the opening graphics do as well.
