Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants has become so popular, it must be considered a phenomenon. The series has a pleasant, predictable, and slightly offbeat humor, and these mini-adventures give viewers what they expect. SpongeBob has to deal with a ghostly pirate, his own insecurities when his skill as a preparer of krabby patties is challenged, and the dangerous pleasures of fisherman's hooks. The voice acting is often amateurish and imitative. Patrick suggests a Homer Simpson-wannabe, while Bubble Bass sounds like the Comic Book Guy. The humor can become gross. In episode No. 2, SpongeBob absorbs a bathtub full of water, then vomits it at Gary, the snail who acts as his dog. But it seems pointless to grumble about these weaknesses. SpongeBob SquarePants has clearly won a place in the hearts of American viewers. (Suitable for ages 8 and older: cartoon violence, minor gross-out humor) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars Spongebob Squarepants at his best!, August 27, 2002

By	Scott Cohen (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: SpongeBob SquarePants - Sea Stories (DVD)

This is the best one out of the 3 Spongebob DVD's. Here are the episodes on this DVD:

-Hooky: When fishing hooks are found in Bikini Bottom, Spongebob and Patrick like to ride them, but Mr. Krabs warns Spongebob and Patrick that they are dangerous, and can bring them to the land above!

-No Free Rides: When Spongebob yet again fails his boating test, Mrs. Puff gives Spongebob extra credit to get his license, so he can get out of her boating school.

-Sailor Mouth: When Spongebob finds a "bad word" on a dumpster, Patrick says it is a sentence enhancer. They use it often, shocking Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Krusty Krab customers!

-Life of Crime: Mr. Krabs is found stealing many items from his friends, and Spongebob and Patrick learn that "borrowing" an item is okay as long as it is given back before it's missed. Patrick wants to buy a balloon, but he can't afford it. They decide to borrow the balloon, and they pop it. They can't return it now, so they run away from Bikini Bottom thinking they're criminals.

No Weenies Allowed: When Spongebob tries to get into the Salty Spitoon, the toughest club in Bikini Bottom, he is denied access because he is considered a weenie. Spongebob will do anything to get in this club, even beat up Patrick!

-Pickles: When Bubble Bass comes to the Krusty Krab, he claims that Spongebob forgot to put in pickles in his Krabby Patty. That makes him forget how to make Krabby Patties, and how to just about anything. Mr. Krabs will go to lengths to get his money maker back to the grill!

-Jellyfish Jam: When Spongebob befriends a rare jellyfish, Spongebob brings it home. The jellyfish becomes addicted to loud, rave music, and calls his jelly friends to take over Spongebob's house to party.

-The Algae's Always Greener: When Plankton is fed up with his failed attempts to take[] a Krabby Patty, he builds a machine to switch lives with people. He switches lives with Mr. Krabs to see what is like to be him.

-Gary Takes a Bath: Spongebob has to do whatever possible to get Gary to take a bath. (Unseen episode, but was aired with Shanghaied on Nicktoons TV!)

-Shanghaied: The ultra-rare, only seen on TV twice! Squidward, Patrick and Spongebob stumble upon the sunken ship of the Flying Dutchman. They are all given 3 wishes when the return an object of his. The DVD will feature all three endings!

More to come on the third Spongebob Squarepants installment.
