10. The Secret Box
Patrick has a secret, in box form, and Spongebob wants to desperately know what is inside. He puts his friendship at risk by trying to steal the secret, but this is Patrick so is it really a worthwhile secret?
Spongebob and his naiveté/over obnoxious behaviour is on full display here in this episode. Don't let the fact that this episode rank near the end of this list fool you, it's chocked full of laughs and has a brilliant ending.
9. Rock-A-Bye Bivalve
Spongebob and Patrick come across a baby scallop and decide to play mom and dad to him, but things get difficult once Spongebob does all the parenting while Patrick works and relaxes all day.
The part that makes this episode so great is the real life implications imposed on the first time parents as Spongebob cares and nurtures the Scallop while Patrick remains distant.
8. New Student Starfish
Patrick decides to join Spongebob at boating school for the day, but these two friends are soon going to find out that being classmates may not be as easy as being neighbours.
Like The Secret Box, this episode shows what happens when Spongebob and Patrick's friendship is put to the test. It's also probably the stupidest, funny, Spongebob episode in existence. So of course it makes the list.
7. Band Geeks
Squirdward feels like his music career is going nowhere when old nemesis Squilliam calls and offers his band the chance to play the Bubble Bowl. Squidward can't say no, even though he has no band. He must get the citizens of Bikini Bottom to play well enough to save himself the embarrassment.
This is the episode near the top of everyone's list, and although I don't like it as much as most... I'm not a fan of the ending sequence that everyone seems to love except me, but it's still a laugh riot.
6. One Krabs Trash
Mr. Krabs riffles through the citizens of Bikini Bottom's trash to find items for his antique sale. When he sells Spongebob a novelty #1 hat and then finds out the value of said hat (a million dollars) he tries desperately to get it back.
Mr. Krabs is cheap... But is he about to defile a grave over money? Of course he is. It also features likely the best fight scene Spongebob Squarepants has ever seen.
5. The Bully
There's a new student in Mrs. Puff's class, Flats Flounder, who wants to kick Spongebob's butt.
This episode tends to get overlooked but it has a good message to kids, also teachers are ridiculous when it comes to butt kicking.
4. The Camping Episode
Spongebob and Patrick are holding their annual camping trip and Squidward couldn't be more excited to have them leave for a weekend the only problem is this years trip is on Spongebob's front lawn... sand? Anyway... Squidward decides to show them how a real outdoors man camps, however he is not as prepared for the wilderness as he thinks.
I originally had this episode out of my top 5 but I had forgotten how funny it was, especially Squidward, he's given a rare chance to shine and he does not miss the opportunity... Even if it hurts him.
3. Chocolate With Nuts
Spongebob and Patrick want to live the fancy lifestyle so they decide to become entrepreneurs... By selling chocolate!
Along with Band Geeks, this is the most listed episode on top lists everywhere. Spongebob and Patrick learn that lying is no shortcut to success here... Actually we pretty much learn the opposite. But this episode is hilarious!
2. I Had An Accident
After a traumatic accident leaves Spongebob's backside in pieces, he decides not to leave his house since if he injures it again he'll be stuck in The Iron Butt. Sandy and Patrick must convince him to leave his house somehow.
I really wanted to make this number 1, but unfortunately when push comes to shove I had to place this at number 2. More laughs than should be allowed in a 12 minute episode. And that ending... Dear lord that ending is fantastic.
1. Krusty Towers
Mr. Krabs stays at a hotel and gets pampered but has to pay for every little thing, mostly at exorbitant prices. Thus he decides to open his own hotel, yet employee Squidward has some problems adjusting.
For whatever reason, no one seems to love this episode but me. But it is quotable and hilarious. The dialogue between Patrick and Squidward is what makes the episode. Whether Patrick is learning that the Krusty Krab is now a hotel, or learning it for the second or third time... Or if he's simply trying to get away from it all with a suitcase full of rocks.
