Ah, Spongebob. How I love you. You still remain one of the most quotable, funny cartoons of all time. Every episode is just filled with so much comedic gold
(Stupid Gundam House)
Ok, there are exceptions. Spongebob, as you all know, has been declining in quality. I already talked about this in my Good Neighbors Review but lets focus on an episode today that I remember fondly. The Halloween episode Scaredy Pants. An episode that isnt mentioned much. Its an early episode from season
1 so thats probably why. The show was still getting in its groove
but even so its still a great episode. So lets get into this shall we.
The basic plot is that SpongeBob is easily scared and has pretty much become the laughing stock of Bikini Bottom. He's sick and tired of this and so decides he's gonna be the scary one. He gets Patrick to help him out. He dresses up to be a ghost but comes to the conclusion that he's to square to be a ghost so he has Pat shave him into a more circle shape. He then goes to the Krusty Krab Halloween party and poses as the Flying Dutchman to scare everyone. It starts to work but it is eventually revealed to be SpongeBob. That's when the real Flying Dutchman crashes in. (by the way this is his first physical appearance in the series. He was mentioned but never shown in a previous episode called
Squidward The Unfriendly Ghost)
The Dutchman says that all these crappy costumes people are wearing of him are ticking him of and Spongebob's was the straw that broke the camels back.
You know if I were a ghost and people made cheap costumes of me I'd get pretty ticked to.
But instead I'm alive and I'm getting offended by..............cartoons.
Living the dream people...............living the dream. Let me tell ya.
Either way, he tells everyone he's gonna steal their souls starting with Spongebob. He removes the crappy costume and runs off scared. It is then reaveled that when Patrick was cutting SpongeBob into a round shape he cut away so much that Spongebob's brain is now visible. Thus scareing everyone away. It ends with Spongebob being proud of his achievement.
This leads me to my first point about the episode. It is funny. Really funny. That ending scene was great and there are a few other jokes as well that I wont spoil. Its not the funniest episode, heck not even the funniest in Season 1 but it has enough laughs in it to be considered overall pretty funny. Its also just a really enjoyable episode in general. I love the halloween spirit that this episode juat has flowing out of it. Its really cool to see Bikini Bottom celebrate Halloween. Seeing all the costumes and decorations its pretty epic. To be honest I'm haveing trouble saying anything about this episode. Its a fun episode but there isnt much to say. Same thimg happened with Princess Butterfly, dont worry I will have plenty to say about the next episode I talk about on Toon-O-Ween. I guess its pretty cool that this episode was the first physical apperance of the Flying Dutchman. I like the Flying Dutchman he doesn't get a whole lot of screen time here but he will later and I actually remember his episodes really will. They were generally pretty enjoyable (yes even the post movie ones) but god Shanghaied was an awesome episode. Either way what else can I say besides its an enjoyable and fun Halloween episode with lots of Halloween Spirit. There's no better time to watch it than now. So revisit this great episode I guaruntee you will not be dissapointed.
Overall Score-8/10
There we go 2 Halloween reviews down. So what will we be covering next time. Well its gonna be magical.........wait a minute I already used that.
Next on Toon-O-Ween-Luna Eclipsed (My Little Pony)
