5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Cartoons, March 21, 2002

By 

Tyler Antoine (Houston, DE USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spongebob Squarepants - Sponge Buddies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Spongebob Squarepants is BY FAR one of the best, if not the best, cartoon(s) on television at this time. Being 13, you wouldn't expect someone like me enjoying cartoons, but Spongebob is funny for everyone.
"JELLYFISHING" This episode, a good starter to the video, shows how Spongebob longs to be Squidward's friend...and Squidward can't stand it.
"DYING FOR PIE" One of those left-turn-in-the-last-minute sort of caroons.
"WORMY" This episode displays how blissfully ignorant Patrick and Spongebob are...and how much we enjoy that fact.
"F.U.N." One of the trademark Spongebob episodes, you will not be able to get the FUN song out of your head!
"CLUB SPONGEBOB" This episode is a little long-winded, but enjoyable figuring it's never been on TV before.
If you're looking for something different, or to just keep the kids quite for an hour, this video is the right thing for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Gotta Have" Videos for the Kids!, May 18, 2002

By

This review is from: Spongebob Squarepants - Sponge Buddies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

.
Scoring:

5 Stars: Kids - They love Sponge Bob and all his quirky friends!

5 Stars Parents - Shows are good basic fun.

4 Stars Violence - minimal violence, lots of slapstick

2 Stars Educational - Won't get that here!

Summary:

"Sponge Bob" is a lovable, fun loving sponge who gets into ridiculous situations with his less than dumb best friend "Patrick Star" (starfish) in their hometown of "Bikini Bottom".

Other Characters:

Adding to the mix are a bunch of real characters like:

"Gary", Sponge Bob's pet snail that purrs like a cat;

"Sandy Cheeks", a happy and sociable squirrel who lives under water;

"Mr. Crabs", the money hungry owner of the Crusty Crab;

"Squidward", Sponge Bob's art loving, boring, nasal neighbor who despises Sponge Bob's ridiculous antics;

"Plankton", the tiny loud mouthed, one-eyed, single celled, megalomaniac who tries to steal Mr. Crab's crabby patty "secret recipe";

Scare Factor:

None, except that you and your kids might become addicted!

Violence:

Much better than the Bugs Bunny antics we grew up on; the characters show minimal violence towards each other, but enthrall themselves in their hilarious comedic situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the best, March 6, 2002

If you don't think SpongeBob, et al, is funny, you simply don't have a sense of humor. These episodes are cutting edge hilarious and can be enjoyed at every level. The great thing is being able to watch it along with our 3 year old and not being bored senseless as in other shows - the writers have hit the same winning formula as Bugs Bunny - funny to both adults and children but for different reasons. There seems to be something new to catch each time an episode is watched. Two words - buy it!!
