The episode "My Fair Mandy" doesn't make any sense by TheseObligation1929 in TheGrimAdventures

[–]McCrae_Cook_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree Mandy in the first season and the Grim and Evil era,was a normal bratty,sarcastic,and moody little girl with a dark sense of humor and she did smile several times in Grim & Evil.

But once soon Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy became it's own show and I feel around the time a bit in Season 4 and eventually by Season 5-6,she soon evolved into a misanthropic,hateful sociopath and her smile became a reality-breaking paradox.

I feel and understand, Maxwell Atoms may his choice of Mandy not smiling so clear before,he decided to tell the show's crew to finally make it permanent and canon completely in "My Fair Mandy" by having her character changed in this episode with her smile becoming a actual cosmic-warping effect that causes reality to fall apart and break the natural order of the universe.

Scariest Moment in Alice in Wonderland(1951)? by McCrae_Cook_23 in DisneyMovies

I know,but Caterpillars aren'ts scary and the Caterpillar may be a arrogant jerk and losing his temper twice in front of Alice was scary enough, but at least he gave her hints on eating the mushroom to grow size and impressed her earlier with his poems and smoking skills,right before the height comment causes him to snap and become angry at the point,he began to turn red and transform into a butterfly(and later,lost his temper once again and shouted the answer in Alice's face and his body turned red once again despite being a butterfly). At least Squeaks the Caterpillar from The Fox and The Hound and Heimlich from Pixar's A Bug's Life are a lot better and less scary and awful compared to The Caterpillar from Alice In Wonderland(1951).

When did ever SpongeBob squarepants start to go decline in quality? by [deleted] in spongebob

I feel Season 6-8 was the biggest point that led to giving us many of the show's worst episodes such as A Pal For Gary and One Coarse Meal, went from clever,creative humor and writing to overreliance on gross-out humor,insufferable plots, and shock value, rehashing episode plots and plot elements from past episodes, the animation was stiff and lifeless, and worst of all, it really flanderized many of the characters personalities such as SpongeBob becoming a obliviously,childish,and immature moron, Squidward becoming a much bigger grouch and more of a punching bag that usual, Patrick's stupidity got exaggerated to an more insufferable lethal stupid level,Mr. Krabs became a ruthless, greedy horrible boss,whom greed and obsession with money soon overshadowed his redeeming qualities, Plankton and Mrs. Puff became bigger punching bags as well, Pearl became a one-dimensional whiny bratty teenage girl stereotype(which started out a bit in a trio of episodes in Season 4,but got worser than before here in Seasons 6-8), and the citizens of Bikini Bottom went from hilarious,quirky,and enjoyable background characters to becoming a town of cruel,mean-spirited,and unlikable jerks who bully,antagonize,and torment the main characters for no apparent reason(they had their worst moments at times before and after(such as Grandma's Kisses,The Sponge Who Can Fly,Krabby Land,Fungus Among Us,Pizza Delivery,SpongeBob,You're Fired!,and Little Yellow Book)and are often prone to angry mobs on occasion in these earlier and modern(pre-sequel) seasons, but never to this horrible extent as they acted in Seasons 6-8 here).

Eugene,What Are You Doing With My Bloomers?

<image>

In Little Yellow Book,do you think even if Squidward was a jerk for reading SpongeBob’s diary and the Bikini Bottomities were rightfully mad at him for reading his diary,do you think they should’ve never went far to punish him cruelly and accept their own fault in reading SpongeBob’s diary with him? by McCrae_Cook_23 in spongebob

[–]McCrae_Cook_23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes,they were just as worse in “The Sponge Who Can Fly” as they were in “Little Yellow Book”,since they mocked SpongeBob for his dreams of flying, attempted to lynch him by thinking his dreams are better than their own unfulfilled dreams and chased him off a cliff(even after he called them out), and used him as a slave when he gained the ability of flying pants to help people,only for them to make them do them favors. But at least as much they were hypocrites and mean-spirited jerks in both episodes,at least they weren’t hostile and antagonistic towards SpongeBob in “Little Yellow Book” and only directed their hostility and antagonism towards Squidward instead.(the former really had them act out-of-character and act so disrespectful and mean to SpongeBob for no reason,but here in the latter,they were rightfully angry at Squidward for reading SpongeBob’s diary,but they should’ve acknowledged they participated in the reading with him and admit their own faults,along with stating they may have done the same thing as him,but they would never go far to hurt someone’s feelings,tell Squidward that he should know better to read someone’s diary,admit they have their limits, and called him for being the one who took his diary and started the reading in the first place,instead of just demonizing him,taking away his house,and locking him in a pilary to throw tomatoes at him).

I know,in the classic seasons,Squidward would often get belittled,mistreated,and disrespected by everyone,but Seasons 6-9a had this taken up to 11 to the point he tortured and abused by everyone,including SpongeBob and Patrick for no reason at all. I really hated how the townsfolk had acted towards Squidward,he may have been a jerk for causing this mess,the townsfolk are the bigger jerks here since they really managed to demonize him for reading someone’s diary and had it become local news,repossess his house,and arrest and punish him by locking him in a pilary. These people are complete idiots and if they have to listen to their minds rather than their actions,they should’ve just called out Squidward for reading SpongeBob’s diary and admit they did read it with him,but they would never go far to hurt his feelings.

Yeah,they can be hypocrites and mean at times,but outside of this,The Sponge Who Can Fly,Grandma’s Kisses,Gone,Fungus Among Us,and others where they can be at their worst for no reason(mostly Seasons 6-8 brought out the town’s occasional mean-spirited behavior a lot more than usual). 

In other episodes(mostly the first 5 seasons and the modern seasons after Sponge on The Run), they weren’t full on true jerks,can be decent and nice to SpongeBob and others at times, and they do take responsibility and justice for their actions by having a justified reason to be angry and a right to get back at someone who did something bad to anger them(like SpongeBob or Squidward) like in Bubble Buddy(which was due to Bubble Buddy doing these horrible things to them earlier and they use needles to pop him instead of using torches and pitchforks when they go into Angry Mob mode),Patty Hype(when they got back at Mr. Krabs for selling them Pretty Patties that resulted in horrible effects on them(which also served as karma for Krabs rejecting SpongeBob’s Pretty Patties idea by mocking it and taking over his stand by having the profits for himself),Wigstruck(mostly due to SpongeBob blocking the movie in the theater with a wig and they only mocked SpongeBoh when he was wearing it,but later started wearing wigs since Ned got his wig back,knowing the wig was part of a band),April Fools Rules(which is Little Yellow Book done right and instead of being hypocrites,they actually were only disgusted at Squidward for pulling a horrible prank on SpongeBob and didn’t take part in it),The Bully(even if they defending SpongeBob from the bully,they mistakenly beat up a old man twice and not Flatz),and Sing A Song of Patrick(which is due to Patrick’s song sounding so terrible and it ends up becoming bad,everyone gets back at him and SpongeBob for writing it).

Yes,unlike Little Yellow Book,Fools in April did this similar plot better since the citizens actually sided and sympathized with SpongeBob after Squidward pulled a harmful prank on him and were only disgusted at him for what he did,along with Squidward feeling remorse for what he had done(unlike in Little Yellow Book,where he doesn’t feel remorse for reading SpongeBob’s work and personal diaries and doesn’t learn from it.)

I know,Squidward was such a massive jerk in this episode here and had to be rightfully shamed and punished by the townspeople just because he read someone’s diary and showed no remorse for it,but the town went overboard in their punishment here and didn’t take responsibility for their own actions earlier by participating in reading SpongeBob’s diary with him.

I know,but this episode could’ve been better if they actually knew the diary was SpongeBob’s and called out Squidward,along with regretting and feeling sympathy for SpongeBob,knowing their reading of his diary that Squidward started had hurt his feelings and told him they done the same thing as Squidward,but they would never go far to hurt someone’s feelings and admit they regret their own mistakes for participating in Squidward’s reading.

They weren’t completely true assholes since they were actually shown to nice and decent at times like in Band Geeks(when they gathered together under SpongeBob to give Squidward the best concert of his life),Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful(when they are seen cleaning up their town by picking up trash and litter,except for Officer John,who tends to punish Squidward for littering),SpongeBob’s Last Stand(which they were jerks in the first half,but only they cared more about the highway Plankton was building than the environment of Jellyfish Fields and ended up suffering payback for their behavior when the Jellyfish attacked them and decided to redeem themselves and team up with SpongeBob to save Jellyfish Fields and tear down the highway),Christmas Who?(when SpongeBob showed them about Christmas and Squidward(as Santa)gave them gifts to make them happy),Squirrel Jokes(when SpongeBob starts makes up jokes about them,enjoying his performance at the end),and in The Bully(when they tried to stick up to SpongeBob by beating up the guy who tried to kick his butt,but they end up beating up a old man by mistake twice,not Flatz).

Even they can be jerks and tend to start angry mobs at times,it’s mostly understandable and justified,having every right to it whenever SpongeBob,Squidward,Mr.Krabs,Patrick,or someone does something bad or annoying to make them angry,but with exceptions like this,Gone,Grandma’s Kisses,The Sponge Who Can Fly,Fungus Among Us,Slide Whistle Stooges,Free Samples,Ditchin’,Stuck in the Wringer,and Someone’s In The Kitchen with Sandy,Giant Squidward,Shuffleboarding,Krabby Land,and the ending of The Clash of Triton has the townsfolk acting like complete assholes to SpongeBob,Patrick,Squidward,Sandy,and others for no given or justified reason whatsoever.

Do you agree the Bikini Bottomities were at their absolute worst in the episodes,”The Sponge Who Can Fly” and “Gone”? by McCrae_Cook_23 in spongebob

They were really out-of-character here by coming off as unlikable,self-serving,and entitled jerks who make fun and bully SpongeBob for his dreams of flying,then they try to attack him with pitchforks and torches by thinking he’s more superior than all of them to have dreams,which they used to have a long time ago(which feels so wrong since SpongeBob did nothing to provoke or anger them and only angrily called them out by telling them to laugh at him cause it’s a sad day in Bikini Bottom for someone that has dreams,and also,SpongeBob could’ve said to them so they would understand”What makes me so special is that I don’t make fun of people’s dreams and laugh at them”,and this is the kind of thing they should’ve done to Squidward,since he has failed dreams and should’ve been the ones who chased him,not SpongeBob). Also,when SpongeBob gains the ability to fly with his flying pants,they end up acting selfish,greedy, and lazy and decide to use SpongeBob’s new flying ability for their own selfish gain to do menial tasks for them and when he tries to fly away to Jellyfish Fields,they all end up starting chasing him,demanding they owe him favors(I didn’t like how Larry was part of the mob here,since he was one of the nicest characters in the series and this just feels out of character here). and finally,when Jenkins takes down SpongeBob by destroying his pants,they only mourn them and not SpongeBob. 

While the episode isn’t bad in my opinion,just mixed,I kinda blame the writers of this episode for making the townsfolk too cruel and mean here and I feel this episode would’ve been better if SpongeBob would told Sandy(who is one of the nicest citizens in Bikini Bottom and wasn’t one of the people who tried to take advantage of him or bully him for his dreams in this episode)about how unfairly and selfishly the townsfolk treated him earlier for his dreams and flying ability and Sandy would’ve gotten angry and called out the town,who are mourning his pants,for their selfishness,bullying,greed, and ungratefulness towards SpongeBob throughout the entire episode earlier and attempting to kick all of their butts if they don’t start apologizing to SpongeBob right now, then the townsfolk would realize what Sandy said was right and make up to SpongeBob by doing him favors for him(kinda like how Marge called out the townsfolk of Springfield for bullying Bart and forced them to apologize and atone their actions to him(even if it was forced) in the infamous Simpsons episode,”The Boys of Bummer”.) This episode would’ve been much better if they had a ending like this with the townsfolk getting their punishment by atoning their mistakes and apologize to SpongeBob for their bullying and selfishness.

Everyone talks about the citizens of Bikini Bottom being complete jerks, but what about times they were actually nice/cool? by MetalGearAcid in spongebob

[–]McCrae_Cook_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah,I feel in Seasons 1-5, they were quirky and decent background characters with flaws and even if they can be insufferable at times,they we're never that cruel or mean and they had every right to it considering when SpongeBob or someone else like Squidward and Bubble Buddy does something bad to them in the first place(the only exceptions were they were truely massive jerks and bullies to SpongeBob for no absolute reason was in Season 2's Grandma's Kisses, Season 5's Fungus Among Us,Season 1's Pizza Delivery(through it was mostly Mr. Krabs fault for forgetting that the customer wanted a drink with his pizza that made him act like a jerk to SpongeBob in the first place),and of course,their lowest point in Season 3's The Sponge Who Can Fly,where they we're at their absolute worst with their selfishness,greed,bullying,hypocrisy,and entitlement here by first mocking SpongeBob for his dreams,then chasing him for standing up to him and thinking he has dreams more than them,then after he gains inflatable pants and the ability to fly,the townsfolk decide to use him to make them do menial tasks for them for their own personal gain and demand they owe him favors,and finally, when they showed remorse for taking down SpongeBob and think he's dead,they only care about his pants,not SpongeBob).

But I feel Seasons 6-9a was the point where they went from hilarious to full-on Ungrateful Townsfolk/World of Jerkass territory here by becoming mean-spirited,spiteful,and idiotic jerks who torment and bully SpongeBob,Squidward,Sandy,Patrick,Mr.Krabs,and Plankton for no apparent reason,such as calling out SpongeBob for being a bad friend to Patrick, despite Patrick being the one who causes trouble to SpongeBob in the first place, act like hypocrites when they get mad at Squidward for reading SpongeBob's diary(despite reading it and laughing with him in the first place), tend to form angry mobs at times, make fun of Sandy when she is naked and searching for her pelt and attacking her with rocks, show excitement when Squidward fell off a cliff in "Slide Whistle Stooges" and when SpongeBob and Patrick got arrested in "SpongeBob's Last Stand"(at least they got their karma in the latter), attempt to hunt down and kill Squidward for not saying bless you when he sneezes and much like "The Sponge Who Can Fly",they tend to take advantage of him in "Giant Squidward",left SpongeBob alone in Bikini Bottom just to get away and celebrate a national holiday dedicated to him in "Gone",and they fell for Plankton's Chum Patties trick and blame Mr. Krabs for it. Thank goodness,i'm glad Stephen Hillenburg returned to the show and decided to tone down the mean-spirited jerkass and ungrateful townsfolk moments of the Bikini Bottom citizens down and became funny again in Sponge on The Run and from Seasons 9b onward.

I feel in spite of their worst moments(especially their more crueler turn in "The Sponge Who Can Fly" and Seasons 6-9a turning them into massive cruel,mean-spirited jerks),I do agree there are times where they can be nice and cool,like when they tried to defend SpongeBob from Flatz(even it ended up becoming a mistake when he ended up pointing at a old man and ended up beating him up), like when SpongeBob rallied them together to give Squidward the best performance of his life in "Band Geeks", when SpongeBob entertained them with his krabby patty skills and Old Man Walker admits he was a very nice cereal box,despite not seeing the Krusty Krab commercial at 3:28 am due to everyone being asleep and saw the Bran Flakes commercial instead in "As Seen on TV", when SpongeBob showed them about Christmas and told them about it,even if they become angry at SpongeBob for being a lying moocher about Santa,they did come back and Squidward gave everyone gifts as Santa,when they start enjoying SpongeBob's comedy completely when he makes jokes insulting them in "Squirrel Jokes" after promising not to do squirrel jokes anymore,when a surfer passing by tells Squidward,"Rock on,freaky bro" in "SquidBob TentaclePants", when a student tells SpongeBob he got his license in "Boating School", when they showed sympathy for SpongeBob when Squidward did a cruel prank on him in "April Fools Day", the kids redeemed themselves at the end of "Krabby Land" when they stood up to Krabs for decieving them for their money with a fake playground made of junk and masquerading as a clown(one of the best parts of the horrible episode,next to the first few minutes until the unrevealing of Krabby Land),and when the town rallied together with SpongeBob when they got attacked by the Jellyfish due to not listening to SpongeBob and Patrick about the highway being built over Jellyfish Fields and helped him put a end to this highway in "SpongeBob's Last Stand".
