Spongebob SquarePants is iconic.
Endless references to the show can slip into everyday conversation and endless memes have been made in honor of everyone's favorite yellow sponge.
Spongebob is stupid, but it is stupid funny! Viewers find it difficult to resist the childish, yet, humorous charm.
Fans of the show passionately defend which 'Spongebob' episodes they like the most.
Here are five of the most underrated episodes, according to a certified Spongebob SquarePants expert (me):
1. "Clams," Season 3
Who could ever forget when Mr. Krabs earns his one millionth dollar at the Krusty Krab only to have it eaten by a clam?
He watches over his money more closely than most parents watch over their children.
When he cried so bitterly that his eyes turn into literal water faucets...I will forever relate.
2. "Have You Seen This Snail?" Season 4
As a kid (and honestly, still today), this episode ripped my heart out and stomped on it.
Even now, I play the "Gary, Come Home" song when I need a good cry. It is - unsurprisingly- effective.
3. "My Pretty Seahorse," Season 3
"Because of her mysterious behavior, I have decided to name her Mystery. Now that I think about it, she's also very graceful and majestic. Maybe I should name her Grace or Majesty... or Debbie."
Classic, Spongebob.
4. "Opposite Day," Season 1
In an attempt to sell his house, Squidward convinces Spongebob and Patrick that it is opposite day. He hopes then that they will stop being annoying and not scare away any potential buyers.
Spongebob and Patrick's gullibility is legendary, but not as legendary as Squidward's hair.
5. "Whale of a Birthday," Season 4
To be honest, I would kill to have 'Boys Who Cry' perform at my birthday party. Or for Squidward to sing his song about tissues. I'm flexible.
So that's my list!
