Cave Dwelling Sponge
A few jokes saved this one, but this is still pretty boring. I enjoyed the cave sponge, he was a fun character with a cool design and voice. But nothing besides him really stood out. I liked the beginning and SpongeBob’s way of getting ready in the morning, but those are the only positives. The middle was incredibly boring and the dancing scene was weird and too long. Overall these complaints and praises balance out to such a meh episode.
The Clam Whisperer
Well this is kinda unpopular. I bet no one says this episode is bottom 3 of the season, and in the bottom 20 episodes of the show, besides me of course. This is an awful episode, because it is boring, unfunny, has bad characters, and its plot goes nowhere. Plus it feels like it was resolved way too quickly. The only really good thing in my opinion was SpongeBob’s design as a clam, it looked kinda cool.
Spot Returns
Yeah, I wasn’t a big fan of this, unlike most. As was a fair amount of episodes I previously covered, this was pretty boring. While I enjoyed some jokes, it wasn’t great. Also, this is Bubble Buddy Returns to a T. Old character returns but not for long, nope, let’s focus on the offspring of said character instead of who we actually wanted to see more of! And this ruins the charm of Plankton’s Pet. That, for once, didn’t have to do with stealing the formula, but this one goes back again to the same cliche of the formula we have seen 99999 times. However as I said, a few jokes were good. Also I liked Comic Relief Puppy, and Patrick being a guard dog.
The Check-Up
There isn't too much to say about this one. SpongeBob and Squidward working together to help Mr. Krabs is a nice thing, the different ways they give their boss his checkup are funny, and the ending with Larry was amusing.

There's a Sponge In My Soup
I loved just how random this was. Out of anything they did an episode with hippies in a pot of soup, leading to SpongeBob becoming a hippie. Well it was great. The way the characters act as hippies as well as the way the actual hippies act is funny and overall this is a fun episode.
Man Ray Returns
Another awesome one with some fun action. This was a really clever concept used to its full potential, unlike the Returns episode just a few before it. Man Ray is cool in this, and I enjoyed basically every joke.
Larry the Floor Manager
Like a lot of these episodes, this is just a good one with not much to say. The atmosphere is good and Larry is put to good use. A lot of jokes were good, especially Squidward in the ropes.

Stuck on the Roof
This one was enjoyable as well. It’s pretty creative with some amazing humor. A particular scene I liked was the first scene on the roof, of SpongeBob looking down off it. There is some absolutely fantastic animation there. I also liked Sandy’s little bit.
Krabby Patty Creature Feature
Even people hate this one, I mainly like it because the gross-out doesn’t really bother me all that much, I enjoy the creativity in the Krabby Patty zombies’ designs. Plus the story is interesting. I still find its predecessor Planet of the Jellyfish a lot better, and this one could’ve used a lot more comedy, but I enjoy it for what it is.
Teacher's Pests

Sanitation Insanity
This episode’s title is pretty good, it is really fun to say. However the actual episode, not so. This is one of the most boring episodes ever, as they just go around, getting trash, with not many jokes. And Patrick shows up...because, why? Why is he even here? I like the robot fight, I guess that was cool, but what does that have anything to do with the bulk of the episode? Nothing! Plus it’s not even that good.
Bunny Hunt
This episode is in my bottom 3 the show, and for good reason. This episode is boring, has little jokes, and a story I can’t follow. While the one joke I enjoyed, the incinerator line, was ok, it is not nearly enough to redeem this episode. Seriously, what IS the story? Squidward fighting bunnies? SpongeBob helping bunnies? Bunnies crawling through the walls? I’M A BUNNY NOW? This is a pointless episode that the lack of would make season 11 a whole lot better.
Squid Noir
This episode is one of the most creative. It's super funny and the noir theme is used to its absolute full potential. The mystery is intriguing and there's good jokes; I love the parts with Mr. Krabs and Bubble Bass. I just love how they can do so much and still even have great visuals with a lot less of the color normal episodes have (though an episode I'll be reviewing soon might beat that). A lot of little things were good such as Suburban Dad and the joke with SpongeBob's quarters. Easily a highlight of the season.

Pat the Horse
This is good I guess...it’s creative. This is just good. Nothing special at all. Nothing much bad. I don’t even have much to say. It is good.
seriously what was this

Don't Feed the Clowns
Ok, this happened. I don’t know what it was, but I enjoyed it. The clown is a cool character, there was a huge amount of jokes, and the different settings were fun.
Drive Happy
This was actually pretty good. Coupe is a cool character, and I really like his design. The story is pretty good too. Nothing breathtaking or anything, but I enjoy it.
Old Man Patrick
TBA
Fun-Sized Friends
This episode was so meh. I didn’t know which characters to root for, and while I liked the designs of the mini characters, not enough was done with them and the story was pretty boring. Not much to say on this one either, but one of the worst meh episodes in the show.

Moving Bubble Bass
So, this was good too. I like how Bubble Bass gets kinda a major role, but as is the problem with Spot Returns, they focus on the wrong character. I was pretty amused by this one, and it was fairly funny, but could’ve been better.

Ink Lemonade
I think the whole wiki knows why this episode is hated, so I will keep this brief. This is a disturbing episode with barely any jokes, way too many exaggerated faces, I could go on. This is a rare instance where I am fine with calling it “Squidward Torture” because it is. There is no humor in seeing Squidward run through his own home perpetually screaming and releasing his pee. But, this is better than Bunny Hunt because at least this one TRIED. At least it HAD a story. And the atmosphere in the haunted house was ok. Still absolutely horrid and bottom 5 of the series but season 11 has one worse (I don't know if that's a good or bad thing)
Mustard O' Mine
This was pretty great. I love the concept, insanely creative, even for this season. There were lots of jokes, like everything with the escalator. The opening scene was unique, and everything put together is one fairly good episode!
Shopping List
I like this one. The settings were awesome, the use of characters was stellar, there were some funny jokes like “Not that side,” and I really liked Sandy standing up for SpongeBob at the end. Overall a fun little episode but not that close to perfect.
Whale Watching
A lot of this was great, from the humor, to the character interactions, to the amazing stop-motion sequence that is one of the best-looking scenes in the season and series, this was a really great episode!
Krusty Kleaners
This was a really fun one. I love the setting of the office building and there was a lot of fun action, from SpongeBob bouncing through the building to the amazing climax. Barely anything to say, this was just great!
Patnocchio
This was an absolutely amazing episode. A fairytale parody is super unique for this show and how they incorporate characters and settings from SpongeBob is awesome. Also the Gush and Flush ad was so random it was hilarious. Also, having Pinocchio and Geppetto actually be in it was a really good choice and made it more than just a cliche Pinocchio parody (as well as Pearl's appearance). The Goofy Goober scene with the nose fight and all was super fun and overall everything here just made for a super funny episode.
ChefBob
Two amazing episodes in a row! This one had an absolutely AMAZING one-off and basically everything that ChefBob said was hilarious. Also this has a fantastic story. An open kitchen was a cool choice that hasn't been done before and SpongeBob having a new alter-ego with a mind of his own was cool (even if it's not the most original). The ending fight was good as well. Overall this is just an absolutely hilarious and kinda clever episode.
Plankton Paranoia
This episode, while not perfect, has some really great things about it. The animation is some of the show's best and the story is stellar. There's not too much to say on this one but it's really enjoyable with a great story and no problems.
Library Cards
Wait, this ISN’T Patrick SmartPants? Could’ve sworn it was, as this is way too similar and not in a good way. I can appreciate the creativity, like with the book puns and the interior design of Patrick’s head, but the ending conflict is lame and this is just unoriginal and boring. There’s not much else to say, just a really bad episode.
Call the Cops
AKA the most useless Patrick appearance ever in the show. WHAT IS HE DOING HERE? He adds barely anything to the story aside from the stupid ending. Plus this is an extremely forgettable episode and all I really recall of it is "They become cops, Patrick's there, there's some sort of action thing, the end." A few jokes saved this, but this really didn’t do enough with its story.
Surf N' Turf
This episode has a pairing I don't believe we've ever seen be the focus of the episode, and pairing Sandy and Mr. Krabs was a really clever choice. Mr. Krabs' love for money doesn't seem bad and it fits into the story well. The ending was great and I love the choice of Sandy's treedome as well as her helmet being ships in bottles. This is a really funny and entertaining episode.
Goons on the Moon
Ok...SpongeBob and some other characters go to the moon...Santa is there. Whatever this was, I loved it. Squidward’s subplot was great, Santa’s part was so weird but awesome, a lot of the jokes like “Lunch” were funny, and I enjoyed a huge amount of it. I don’t exactly like the burping part, but mostly everything else was good. Squidina is a fun character, even if she’s a bit one-dimensional. I also love how the Treedome is the rocket, that was a cool and different idea.
Appointment TV
There are a lot of things to love about this episode. I don’t care that it’s kinda similar to past episodes because it does its own thing and a lot of the jokes here are unique, such as Patrick’s whole segment and the scene with the jacks, wrenches, and hammers. Another thing that separates it from similar episodes is my highlight, the characters. They realize their mistakes and all team up together to help SpongeBob when he is sad, in one of my favorite sequences in the whole series. The play the characters perform is absolutely amazing and just shows how great the of people...or fish, the characters in this show are. There was not one part of this I disliked any highly encourage you at home to watch it without paying attention to the unoriginality, which is there, I must admit, but doesn’t detract from the amazing NEW elements this episode adds. I just love this episode so much.
Karen's Virus
The strong spot for this episode is the animation. The animation here is absolutely beautiful and probably the best the show has done. The episode also makes a lot of good computer jokes and references I like. Seeing how Karen envisions the main characters is super cool too, especially Ideal Plankton, another awesome part of this episode. This is just a really creative and visually astonishing one.
