5.0 out of 5 stars What's This? Napping on the Job?, September 18, 2005

By 

SpongeBob Fan "xaxexixoxux" - See all my reviews

This review is from: SpongeBob SquarePants - Halloween (DVD)

You know how some episodic DVDs creep up on you one episode at a time, and some gather all their episodes and hit you like a fist? Well, not only did SpongeBob SquarePants Halloween hit me like a fist, but it also burst through the ceiling of all expectations (funny and absurd) to emerge as my all time fave SpongeBob DVD!!!!! (Until the next one.)
But seeing as I only have practically 90 episodes to go until I've seen all, that's no big surprise. But as Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost would moan, "Enoooough! Listen uuuupp......"

Scaredy Pants.
It's Halloween in Bikini Bottom, and SpongeBob has quite simply had enough of everybody scaring him. Now it's his turn for a pay back! And what better to be than a round ghost imitation of the Flying Dutchman in clogs? (Even though Squidward's pirate wear looks more realistic.) But he just isn't scaring anybody. Maybe a visit from the real Dutchman would be in order? The ending is hilarious, so all in all a good ep. - 8 outta 10.

Imitation Krabs.
SpongeBob's on constant lookout for Plankton and his schemes to steal the formula. So when he gets Squidward and Krabs out of the way (a day off and a rolling penny) and steps into a robo Krabs (reminds one of Krab Borg in a way), it's all the more confusing for the perky fry cook. Maybe 6 and a half hours of constant testing should be enough to wear the fake Krabs down... or is it? Kind of grows on ya. "Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt." - 8 outta 10.

Franken Doodle.
When a giant pencil falls into Bikini Bottom, naturally SpongeBob and Patrick are very enthusiastic. They manage to have a lot of fun with that pencil (Squidward even gets hair!!!!!!!) until the dreaded Sponge Doodle is drawn. He and the pencil now wreak havoc around Bikini Bottom. Will SpongeBob live to tell the tale, or will he meet the sharp (or worse, rounded rubber) end of the evil magic pencil? Sponge Doodle's language is vulgar, so I couldn't understand half of it. But still pretty good. - 7 outta 10.

I Was a Teenage Gary.
Squidward's "volunteered" to watch Gary for SpongeBob while he goes to a jelly fishing convention with Patrick for a long weekend. But 3 days of neglect is too much for the poor pet. So SpongeBob's shocked to walk in and find Gary half-dead. Squidward has to give Gary a shot with snail serum (the doc's too squeamish), but due to SpongeBob's carelessness, pricks him on the nose. Eventually, another snail is added to the populace... or even 2 if Squidward has anything to do with it? Catch the hilarious "mew the miaw miaow" ending. Meoooow, meooow, meow meow-meow meow... - 9 outta 10.

Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost.
Accidentally straying from an active game outside, a throwing shell accidentally lodges into the head of a wax Squidward (apparently it helps conquer all artistic media). Poor SpongeBob and Patrick do everything they can to save it, but to no avail. The problem is, they think it's the real Squidward, so they're shocked when a white (real) Squidward emerges from the bathroom. Now this is either time to evacuate the town... or for Squidward to have a little revenge on the uptake... if you know what I mean. A fantastic episode. Squid, can't get enough of him! - 10 outta 10.

The Secret Box.
It's small. It's a box. It's a small box. But inside is the Best Secret Ever! And SpongeBob will go to any lengths to get it. Even sneak under Patrick's rock. It may ruin a friendship they've had for such a long time and even made a Best Friends Forever club ring for, but he'll do it. I mean, what if it's an embarrassing snapshot of him at the Christmas party? Suspenseful, but not so much it kills me. - 7 outta 10.

Band Geeks.
Let's face it, Squidward's kinda always had a dream to be a world famous musician. So he isn't likely to pass up a chance to perform, at the Bubble Bowl, with his arch rival from high school and band class Squilliam Fancyson watching, in a hurry. The problem? He doesn't have a band. So he recruits everyone in Bikini Bottom at short notice. Will the band flop and crush Squidward's one chance of happiness into little tiny bite-size pieces, or will it be a sweet sweet victory? Genius. Pure genius. Addicted from first watch. - 20 outta 10 (I tried to make the rating meter bigger, it was that good!)

Welcome to the Chum Bucket.
When it comes to cards, Mr Krab's always taken Plankton to the cleaners. But one unlucky slip means that he lost the one thing that matters... SpongeBob's contract. A devastated SpongeBob is transported to the Chum Bucket, but won't make a single patty. Not even after an exact replica of the Krusty Krab kitchen, vibrating slippers, a pony ride, a bedtime story... Touching in the end. - 8 outta 10.

My Pretty Seahorse.
SpongeBob likes spring. Understatement. So you can believe his luck when he finds and tames a wild seahorse he calls Mystery. (Well, it was Mystery, Grace or Debbie.) But as it turns out, the Krusty Krab is no place for bucking broncos that eat every thing in sight. So it's either hide Mystery in the kitchen, or CowBob RanchPants gets fired! Once again, a touching episode, but only due to the bowl of onions on the desk. - 8 outta 10.

The Idiot Box.
Normally when it comes to ordering stuff, you play with the thing inside and throw away the outside. But in SpongeBob and Patrick's case, they throw away the inside, a brand new screen TV, and play in the outside, a box. Squidward is not amused or interested... until an avalanche starts in the middle of the box! How do they make all these sound effects? Is it the (makes rainbow shape with hands) imaaaaaginaaaationnnnnnnnnnn or perhaps, something more? Only one way for Squidward to find out... Totally funny, too cool, and if you don't find the racing car ending hilarious, you really haven't lived! - 10 outta 10.

Wait, I'm getting something...
Yeah. Apparently, Squidward's ghost is feeling unusually generous today. He has decided to spare ye a horrible fate if ye really don't like SpongeBob. (sssssssssssssssssissssss.)
So at least try this DVD out, and if ye do not liketh it, there is an alternative. All you must do is tend to my every whim, and tickle my fancy on command...
Now get this DVD. Now. Or thou shalt unleash the horrible wrath of Squiiiiidwaaaard........
(I think they make a cream for that now.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great! But only ONE "Halloween" episode!, October 7, 2002

This review is from: SpongeBob SquarePants - Halloween (DVD)

My family loves Halloween and especially Halloween specials. So we pre-ordered this one. It's a great DVD packed with 10 great episodes -- some are aboslutely hilarious. But buyers should note that there's only one truly Halloween-themed episode. The other 4 are loosely "spooky-themed" (i.e. monsters, robots, etc.). True, it's labeled as "Spooky Sea Tales" but the huge Halloween type and pumpkin image can be misleading. Nonethless, is this DVD worth it? YES. The extra 5 episodes make it even more of a value. Should you buy it? YES! Is it funny? YES!! This is SpongeBob at his best! Enough reading. Go buy and enjoy.
