Artist Unknown

I like how SpongeBob and Patrick learn a bad word....

....and Squidward teach SpongeBob about art.

Shoutout to Dee Bradley Baker for voicing Monty P. Moneybags!

And shoutout to Paul Tibbit and Sirena Irwin for voicing Betsy Krabs!

Since somebody compared two squidward torture episodes to each other and made everyone miss the point, its time for me to talk about a SINGULAR episode that many people wrongly thought was a Squidward torture episode, when it was so much more than just that.

Are You Happy Now? is an episode that is probably the best example of this. Many people think its a Squidward torture episode, and some have gone as far to say that its one of the worst episodes of Seasons 6-8, but it actually isn't in my opinion. While everyone's opinion stands, PhantomStrider, A famous reviewer on YouTube known for his Spongebob lists and Top 10s, actually believed the episode wasn't so bad after all, but rather as a great episode for people with depression. The plot has Squidward being tired of Spongebob, but not to the point of being tortured. He starts getting depressed since he believes that his life will only revolve around Spongebob and working at the Krusty Krab. Throughout the series though, he has doing much more than that. At the end of the episode, where Squidward chainsaws all the fake Spongebobs, he finally experiences some sort of emotion, and therefore is out of the depression state. And remember Squidwards rage from the Season 2 episode Artist Unknown? He was PROUD of his creation after the rage of destroying stuff to make something beautiful and so does Squidward here! Unlike Squids Visit, thought to be a bad squidward torture episode without intuition and closer examination, here, Are You Happy Now? is not even a Squidward torture episode. It is quite literally a POWERFUL and EMOTIONALLY IMPACTFUL episode for people with depression.

And that is my insight on an episode so many people thought was both the worst episode and a Squidward torture episode.

Okay, Mr. Es-say, I say...

prepare to be written!

I'm doing it! I'm doing it!

Yeah... yeah... yeah!

And some of these, and some of these...

Almost there and...

done.

Now lets see how it looks so far.

Break time! Pacing always helps me think.

I like how SpongeBob and Patrick learn a bad word....

....and SpongeBob joins Squidward's art class.

Has Anyone Noticed That These Two Squid Faces Look The Same?

It's Odd, Right?

Not a fan of this episode. Let's start with the positives, shall we? There are a couple of jokes, like SpongeBob goofing around a bit. The highlight of this episode is when Squidward went crazy at the end. I also liked when SpongeBob does various things to the marble or some sort. Who can never forget the iconic bold and brash painting? My brother has that in his room. Here are the negatives, this episode should mostly belong In the trash. This episode is SO boring. I had a hard time paying attention to this episode. SpongeBob crying and all upset was just complete filler. Everything about this episode just drags on for way too long. The "jokes" are rather weak. But let me tell you, this is an AMAZING concept, but poorly executed. Not to mention that this is the only bad episode from Season 2.

Rating Overall: 7/20 Bad

Is awesome right?
