In this thread, I'm going to be ranting on a bad episode from Season 6 known as "Gullible Pants." I wrote a review for this episode on another website 4 years ago, but it's about time I do it on the SpongeBob wiki:
Here's the plot:
We start off with Mr. Krabs breaking his finger nail while counting money. Now he has to make an appointment. Since he is going to be gone, Mr. Krabs decides to put SpongeBob in charge of the Krusty Krab for 15 minutes. Once Mr. Krabs leaves, we see Squidward having a nap until SpongeBob interrupts him and tell him he's in charge while Mr. Krabs is gone. Squidward knows that SpongeBob is easy to fool, so he said that he is supposed to rest, and to not wake him up. After that, Squidward lies again by pointing to a customer and said he wants to be a fry cook, and lets him cook his own patties. Then Squidward sees SpongeBob serving the food to the customers, and Squidward says that SpongeBob's hands are filthy, but his feet are clean. So, SpongeBob serves the food with his barefeet. Later, SpongeBob orders some decorations to make the Krusty Krab look nicer. Squidward lies once again and told SpongeBob that Mr. Krabs keeps the Krusty Krab a dump to make the food taste better. So, SpongeBob covers the entire inside of the Krusty Krab with garbage. Since the Krusty Krab is now a mess, the customers start to leave. But Squidward tells Spongebob to bring the customers back by providing some entertainment. SpongeBob starts to dance, and the customers start to become afraid of him. Soon enough, Mr. Krabs gets back and he finds SpongeBob dancing like a goofball, the customers cowering in fear, the Krusty Krab a filthy mess, some stranger cooking the patties and Squidward sleeping on the job. Mr. Krabs thinks Squidward told him about his split nail. So, since SpongeBob is still in charge, Mr. Krabs has to clean dishes, and he hurts his finger nail again. The episode ends with SpongeBob dancing to the frightened customers. The episode is so stupid they just want to see how stupid SpongeBob can be. It's not even funny or interesting. "Squid's Day Off" is way better than this episode. A main similarity is that both episodes involve Squidward lying to SpongeBob. In "Squid's Day Off," Squidward says he is going to do errands. However, instead of doing errands, Squidward actually is either relaxing at home or checks on how SpongeBob is doing. And for "Gullible Pants," Squidward tricks SpongeBob into doing good things at the Krusty Krab while he is in charge even though he is actually doing terrible things. In conclusion, "Gullible Pants" is a terrible and pretty boring episode.
