Spongebob Squarepants Deeds: Good to Evil 🧽

He lives in a pineapple under the sea–and is one of the most lovable characters ever conceived. He’s SpongeBob–and you’d be hard-pressed to find a character as kind and well-intentioned as him. But they say the road to the Chum Bucket is paved with good intentions. So as nice as SpongeBob is, things can often get…destructive. I’m Kifinosi with WickedBinge, and these are SpongeBob’s Deeds: Good to Evil. For this video, because Spongebob is a very nice character… we’re starting with the Good Deeds. That said, he does have a dark and very destructive side… So ending with the evil section will be worth the wait. Alright–call me SpongeBob, because I’m ready! These are: The Good Deeds First up, with the lesser of good-deeds, is SpongeBob Becoming a Wingman. SpongeBob is that one friend who, despite having no interest at all in romance, can always give you some advice and assistance in your own romantic endeavors. There are several examples of this throughout the series–the most memorable is probably “Krusty Love,” where SpongeBob helps Mr. Krabs gain the courage to talk to Mrs. Puff–as well as managing his finances when he realizes how much he’s been spending on her without realizing it. Even considering how he went off on Krabs in the end, it took a lot of patience to help him for as long as he did–given just how much he bounced between wanting to spend everything on Mrs. Puff and wanting to save his money, blaming SpongeBob all the while. Another example is “Love That Squid,” where SpongeBob encourages Squidward to ask out another octopus he’s attracted to–even dressing up as a woman to go on a practice date with Squidward. He, of course, drives Squidward crazy in the process…but he meant well, and it worked out for Squidward in the end. We all need a wingman sometimes–so SpongeBob’s willingness to be that for his friends is a pattern we like to see, and a good way to kick off the list. On a similar note, let’s talk about SpongeBob Helping Plankton Reconcile with Karen. Plankton is in hot water with Karen, his computer wife. She managed to get the Krabby Patty secret formula as an anniversary gift for him–but until he gives her a proper gift, having forgotten about their anniversary entirely, she won’t give it to him. Not knowing the context, SpongeBob–as naive and helpful as always–helps Plankton to write Karen a song to win her(and his gift) over. The reason this is above the previous entry is that SpongeBob and Plankton aren’t even particularly friends–they’re more like frenemies, at best. So helping him out is even nicer than helping Squidward or Mr. Krabs, who he’s already on good terms with…at least in his own eyes. Though, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del on Karen was a bit reckless. We get protecting the formula from Plankton, but…you…actually could’ve killed a man’s wife there, SpongeBob. Still, it was an overall nice gesture. Helping Fred Protect HIS LEG! Is up next. When Fred’s leg breaks for the…whatevereth time, SpongeBob vows to protect it from harm–especially since he’d done his fair share of damage to it. While he does cause his fair share of chaos, he’s equally willing to go to dangerous lengths to protect it from harm–even laying face down on hot coals to keep HIS LEG from walking on them. When Fred reveals that he actually enjoys being injured so much–being in love with with a nurse at the hospital, SpongeBob turns his matchmaking skills on by setting the two up on a date…is what would have been a reasonable plan. But instead, SpongeBob opts to try and break Fred’s LEG! So that he can go back to the hospital. While SpongeBob’s willingness to protect Fred from his running gag injury is admirable, there were DEFINITELY better solutions to his love problem here that didn’t involve trying to maim him. Being Too Accommodating is something many people can relate to–and in the episode “Overbooked,” we see that trait in our favorite sponge. When Sandy calls him asking for help with a showcase for her new invention, SpongeBob is more than happy to oblige. Then, when Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that he needs help assembling a telescope, SpongeBob goes along with that too–because, you know, that’s his boss. Thennnn it turns out that Patrick’s birthday party is that very same night! Due to his incapability to say “no” to people, SpongeBob ends up overextending himself–and this leads to chaos, as one might expect. Things end up working out, since Sandy’s invention turned out to be a clone machine…but still, SpongeBob needs to learn to say no to people. While this is a deed that shows SpongeBob’s generous side, it also shows a side of him that’s rather conflict-avoidant–so we can’t put it very high, despite it being pretty nice. Searching for Snail Treats normally wouldn’t be all that impressive of a feat. But when Gary becomes addicted to the new treats, Snail Bites, SpongeBob is willing to keep ‘em coming…in fact, he’s a bit too willing. Unable to say no to Gary, he willingly travels the entire globe to find the bites when they go out of stock. He only even considers saying no to Gary when there’s absolute confirmation that Snail Bites no longer exist. Gary took it pretty darn well–and while, again, SpongeBob REALLY needs to be better at saying no, we can’t deny how nice it is that he’s willing to go so far beyond just to make his pet snail happy. Trying to Cheer Up Squidward is quite the undertaking. Squidward being depressed isn’t exactly a stunning, new development…but when SpongeBob learns that Squidward doesn’t have a happiest memory, he actually falls lower than usual–so SpongeBob goes above and beyond to try and give him a happy memory. He takes Squidward out to places he likes, such as museums and concerts, but nothing works. In the end, he gets him to the Krusty Krab where a gaggle of papier-mache SpongeBobs are present. This actually works, and gives Squidward a happy memory–there’s nothing that could make him happier than being surrounded by so many SpongeBobs…that he can obliterate. *sigh* He’s so handsome… Krusty Krab! Krusty Krab! Sandy’s Surprise is at the Krusty Krab–and the next spot on our list! While Patrick and Squidward are SpongeBob’s “best” friends, his friendship with Sandy might just be his healthiest. The two consistently support and help each other when the need arises, and this can be seen especially in the episode “Texas.” When Sandy feels homesick from Texas, SpongeBob uses his limited knowledge–sans context–of Texas to set up a surprise party for her at the Krusty Krab. Things go a bit awry when Sandy considers moving back to Texas–and, needing to get her to the Krusty Krab to convince her otherwise, SpongeBob and Patrick insult Texas. It wasn’t the best way to go about it, but it’s one of the sweetest moments of their friendship. More than anything, SpongeBob’s friendship was what showed Sandy that Bikini bottom had become her new home–and that’s a sign of a pretty great friend. Helping Patrick Win an Award is one of the best displays of SpongeBob’s loyal friendship to Patrick. When Patrick is saddened by the fact that he’s never won a single award, especially after seeing SpongeBob’s entire “award closet,” SpongeBob helps cheer him up by getting him a job at the Krusty Krab in an effort to find something he’s good at and win an award. This does backfire eventually when Patrick starts to copy SpongeBob’s behavior–but he does end up winning an award for doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else. As understandably irritated as SpongeBob was with the copying, he was fully supportive of Patrick–and genuinely happy for him when he finally won his award. Take a penny and some magic–and you may even Strike Magic down the well. While SpongeBob’s childlike optimism can drive those around him crazy, it can also really bring spirits up. When Spongebob–and accidentally, Squidward and Patrick–are tasked with guarding the Krusty Krab wishing well, SpongeBob is determined to dig deep down the well to strike real magic. He actually succeeds in this–and the wishes of Squidward, Sandy, Mrs. Puff, and Plankton come true as a result. Even Mr. Krabs learns to believe in magic when his own sarcastic “wish” to be steamed and served with melted butter is granted. It’s juvenile, sure–but as a certain goofy goober once said, it’s okay to be a kid. The fact that SpongeBob didn’t even want to use any magic on himself shows that he just wanted to make people happy by doing this–and that’s about as purehearted as it gets. Helping Patrick Impress His “Parents” was…well-intentioned, at least. A common trend you’ll notice with many of SpongeBob’s deeds is that, while generally meaning well, he often stretches himself a bit too thin and really lets others mistreat him. One of the earliest examples of this was the season 2 episode “I’m With Stupid,” in which SpongeBob agreed to act stupid to help Patrick impress his parents. The idea was that SpongeBob would act So Darn Stupid! that even Patrick would look like a genius in contrast. Unfortunately, Patrick kind of abuses this act of generosity on SpongeBob’s part–when he and his parents start bonding over their insults towards SpongeBob, Patrick completely ignores his requests to dial the rudeness back a bit. Despite this, SpongeBob sticks around to help for an impressively long time before eventually bailing–but it was nice of him to keep up the illusion for his buddy, even though he was being a jerk. While it’s by no means healthy, being willing to degrade himself to help his friends is one of SpongeBob’s most generous character traits. Next up is the time SpongeBob worked hard to find a certain adorable pet–Helping Plankton Find Spot. Oh, you thought we meant Gary? Well, sure, that was nice too–but while looking for your own lost pet is good, looking for a frenemy’s pet is even better. SpongeBob’s frequent willingness to help Plankton out, despite the two being enemies due to the latter’s constant schemes, speaks a lot to how little SpongeBob holds grudges; here, he gladly helps Plankton find Spot for no reward–and while this was obviously more of a Plankton-centric episode, it goes to show how SpongeBob is always willing to help someone in need–even a frenemy. There’s nothing easy about being a parent–so SpongeBob gets some points for Raising Junior. When SpongeBob and Patrick come across a baby scallop in their yard, they decide to take care of it like a child until it’s ready to fly on its own. Unsurprisingly, SpongeBob ends up doing pretty much all the work while Patrick “goes to work”--that is, watching TV under his rock. But despite this, SpongeBob never abandons his duties as a surrogate parent to Junior…until, understandably, he loses his temper on Patrick when he finds out about his “work” activities. Thankfully, leaving Junior alone turned out okay–since it just so happened that he could fly at that point–but as much as we understand his anger, we have to dock this deed a few points for that little slip-up, since it could’ve easily turned out bad. When you’ve got SpongeBob Spreading Christmas Cheer, it’s a safe bet that it’s shaping up to be a wonderful holiday. Bikini Bottom’s first Christmas came about when Sandy taught SpongeBob about the holiday–being the only one who actually knew about it at the time. In turn, SpongeBob spreads Christmas cheer around Bikini Bottom, with shopping, decorating and plenty of snowwww~ …Okay, sorry–that song’s just really catchy. Perhaps the nicest thing SpongeBob did was giving Squidward a handmade clarinet–complete with some cute little mini-Squidwards popping out. He did this because Squidward didn’t believe in Santa, and SpongeBob didn’t want him to feel left out, despite him being mean and discouraging throughout most of the episode. We all need a friend like SpongeBob–even when we feel like we don’t deserve one. | Befriending people is one of SpongeBob’s greatest skills–including and not limited to when it comes to Plankton. When you’re as naive and sweet as SpongeBob, you’re likely a target for manipulative types like Plankton–so when Plankton feigns depression over being friendless, SpongeBob jumps at the opportunity to be his new best buddy–they go jellyfishing, watch movies, and even sing the F.U.N. song! Fun is had by all…until Plankton reveals that, as Mr. Krabs suspected, he was only acting to get the formula. While it was naive, the fact that SpongeBob was willing to reach out to what he thought was a friend in need–despite all Plankton had put him through–is quite sweet, and shows how good-natured the little square dude can be. SpongeBob is a wildlife advocate, too–take him Freeing the Jellyfish. Mr. Krabs’s greedy schemes often entail SpongeBob’s unwitting help. In “Jellyfish Hunter,” SpongeBob’s new jelly patties are a hit at the Krusty Krab, so Krabs starts paying him to catch jellyfish. Thanks to the help of the blue jellyfish, No-Name, he finds out that Mr. Krabs has built a factory that forcefully extracts jelly from the poor little guys. SpongeBob goes against his boss, freeing all of the jellyfish and releasing them back to their natural habitat–but not before some much-deserved stings for our favorite cheap crustacean. Helping Stop Barnacle Boy–I mean Man–is up next. As a big fan of Mermaidman and Barnacleboy, it’s no surprise that SpongeBob is willing to step up and do some hero work of his own sometimes. When Barnacle Boy goes over to the dark side–thus becoming Barnacle Man–SpongeBob offers his help to Mermaid Man to stop him, becoming the super-speedy hero known as The Quickster. He can run to a mountain and back before you even blink, and he can…um…get caught on fire. Okay, things didn’t turn out THAT well for the Quickster–but his willingness to become a superhero for the sake of Bikini Bottom is admirable anyway…even if Barnacle Man wasn’t really doing anything beyond some pranks. Helping Bikini Bottom is far from an uncommon feat for SpongeBob–but when SpongeBob learns to fly with his inflatable pants, the Bikini Bottomites start to recruit him for every task they can think of. Whether it’s massaging a man’s scalp, saving a snail caught in a tree, untangling Plankton from some kelp, or even cleaning Mr. Krabs’s garage, SpongeBob’s there to help. What makes this all the more impressive is the fact that the Bikini Bottomites were pretty darn awful to SpongeBob up until this point; they constantly taunted him and discouraged him, saying he’d never be able to fly–and when he proved them wrong, SpongeBob was still willing to help them out. While some might say that being too forgiving isn’t good, we disagree–if the world were full of people with as much kindness and few grudges as SpongeBob, it’d be a much kinder place. Building Squidward a Paradise was a rare moment of SpongeBob being a positive influence on Squidward’s life. Though almost entirely well-meaning, SpongeBob tends to constantly pester Squidward–and in “Enchanted Tiki Dreams,” Squidward finally breaks and cries over not being able to relax. To make up for it, SpongeBob and Patrick build Squidward a tiki paradise–complete with a lazy river, singing tikis, a juice bar, and an art station. Unfortunately, it does fall apart–literally–when Patrick bumps into a torch and burns the whole paradise down. But to keep the fun going, SpongeBob and Patrick let Squidward swing in a boat and ram into them repeatedly. A bit…sadistic, maybe–but that just shows how darn sweet he is. Say what you will about SpongeBob and Squidward’s “friendship”--but you can’t deny that SpongeBob at least WANTS to be a positive influence on his grouchy next-door neighbor. Being assertive isn’t for everyone…if you’re like SpongeBob, you may prefer Being “Aggressively Nice”. When Plankton successfully manipulates SpongeBob into being “assertive”–that is, being a jerk and accidentally running people off the beach–he decides to employ his own specialty: being aggressively nice! He undoes all the harm Plankton manipulated him into doing, returning the hot dogs he stole from the hungry beachgoers, repairing the kites he cut, and even being a volleyball to replace the one he broke earlier. He goes beyond this, though; he cleans off a little girl’s ice cream cone that was dropped with butterfly kisses, and becomes Scooter’s surfboard. Sure, Plankton, maybe nice guys finish last, but SpongeBob’s got you cornered here–AGGRESSIVELY nice guys can’t be beat. Hoppin’ clams–literally! Saving Sandy is up next. In the show’s third episode “Tea at the Treedome”, we’re introduced to mainstay Sandy Cheeks–and so is SpongeBob. Upon seeing her wrestle a giant clam from a distance, SpongeBob suspects that she’s in danger–and actually rushes in to help her, despite him being pretty physically weak as we see in episodes like “Ripped Pants.” This showed some great, almost uncharacteristic bravery on SpongeBob’s part. While it wouldn’t be any less impressive if it were for an already-close friend–and it ended up being Sandy who saved SpongeBob, in the end–this was before SpongeBob and Sandy even knew each other–so he definitely gets some altruism points there. Pushing the Town to Help Squidward led to one of the most iconic moments in SpongeBob history. In the fan-favorite episode “Band Geeks,” Squidward tries to mentor the Bikini Bottomites in music to perform at the Bubble Bowl to finally get a leg up on his rival, Squilliam Fancyson. Unfortunately, things fall into chaos–as one might expect–but when Squidward gives up hope, SpongeBob pulls everyone together and encourages them to work together to make Squidward proud. In just one day, he manages to lead everyone to give the iconic Sweet Victory performance–even Plankton! Honestly, we’re not sure how THIS wasn’t Squidward’s happiest memory. SpongeBob and company really pulled through for the guy here. What’s better than saving just Sandy? Saving Patrick AND Sandy! As we just suggested, SpongeBob isn’t the bravest guy around–in “I Had an Accident,” he becomes afraid of going outside after he breaks his butt from a bad sandboarding fall. And by this, we mean he goes full on shut-in. While his friendships with Penny, Chip, and Used Napkin are heartwarming, Sandy and Patrick understandably miss their absorbent amigo, and come up with plenty of schemes to get him outside. Their magnum opus was to convince him that a gorilla was attacking them so he’d come outside and rescue them. This somehow results in a real gorilla attacking them–and despite his intense fear, SpongeBob jumps into action to save them. He gets ripped in half in the process, but manages to absolutely DESTROY that gorilla with FACTS and LOGIC! We not only learn that SpongeBob possesses fourth-wall-breaking knowledge of gorillas’ inability to exist underwater, but we learn how much fear he’s willing to overcome to help his best buddies. Helping out Plankton once again, SpongeBob also Saved Karen. In the episode “Karen’s Virus,” Plankton recruits SpongeBob to go on a dangerous quest inside Karen to destroy a virus that could kill her. It’s nice enough that SpongeBob was willing to do this at all–but the extent of the danger makes it even more impressive. Things got so intense that at one point, even PLANKTON was worried for SpongeBob and seriously considered pulling him out of the mission! This took some serious guts and some serious generosity on SpongeBob’s part, which earns it a lot of points. Saving Jellyfish Fields brings SpongeBob’s jellyfish rights activism full circle. When Plankton’s latest scheme involves steamrolling Jellyfish Fields to build a highway that leads straight to the Chum Bucket, SpongeBob and Patrick take a stand for their favorite playplace. Despite the overwhelming majority of the population being in favor of the highway, even downright harassing SpongeBob and Patrick, they’re willing to stick up for their beliefs–and in SpongeBob’s case, to literally get steamrolled for them at one point. When the jellyfish migrate to Bikini Bottom and cause mass destruction, he manages to get all of Bikini Bottom to band together, take the highway, and PUSH it somewhere else! Wildlife protection is important, so SpongeBob’s hard work and protest to save the jellyfish habitat is admirable–and he even saved Bikini Bottom in the process. Now let’s talk about him Saving Gary. When Gary is snail-napped by Plankton and surrendered to King Poseidon, SpongeBob and Patrick head over to the Lost City of Atlantic City. It’s a treacherous journey, with a ruler who’s known for his penchant for flamboyant executions. Understandably, SpongeBob is terrified–but with Patrick’s support, he’s willing to go on a dangerous journey where he’ll potentially be killed just to save Gary. It might seem odd to say that this ISN’T the highest good deed involving Gary, but… Protecting Gary is up next. SpongeBob isn’t the perfect pet owner by any means, but there’s no room for doubt that he loves his pet snail, Gary. We do too, of course. That’s why his protection of Gary in “Frozen Face-Off” was so heartwarming to us. He stands in front of Gary as a shield when he’s being attacked by the giant snow monster, deflecting the icicles being shot towards him, and even offers himself to be eaten by the monster as a sacrifice instead of Gary. There are many examples of SpongeBob and Gary’s bond–they may even have the sweetest relationship in the whole show. But this one sticks out particularly, as SpongeBob put his life in jeopardy multiple times for the sake of his adorable little mollusk. We put this one even higher than the last because, while going to Atlantic City had a risk of SpongeBob being executed, here he straight-up offers to be EATEN for Gary’s sake! In terms of good deeds, it’s hard to top being willing to offer your own life for the sake of your pet snail–but nonetheless, we have a couple more good deeds of SpongeBob’s that surpass it. The close runner-up for SpongeBob’s best deed is Saving Bikini Bottom from the Krabby Patty Famine. In the second SpongeBob movie, Sponge Out of Water, Bikini Bottom falls into an apocalyptic state when the Krabby Patty formula disappears due to Burgerbeard the Pirate’s edits to a magical book. Plankton is naturally suspected, but having seen that the formula genuinely disappeared out of thin air, SpongeBob defends him–and the two team up, building a time machine to get the formula back. When they grab the wrong bottle by mistake, SpongeBob offers himself as a sacrifice to “appease the sandwich gods”--but he’s saved by Mr. Krabs at the last second, who smells Krabby Patties on the surface. With the help of Bubbles the talking dolphin, SpongeBob and company become superheroes and fight Burgerbeard, reclaiming the formula and saving Bikini Bottom. This feels like a deed that was pretty much DESIGNED to get the top spot… But we’re giving our Gold Medal of Good Deeds to Saving Bikini Bottom from Plankton in the original SpongeBob Movie. When Plankton steals King Neptune’s crown and blames Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob and Patrick offer to go on a dangerous quest to the forbidden Shell City–a gift shop from which no sea creature has ever returned. They go through numerous trials and overcome many obstacles to get the crown, save the town, and Mr. Krabs–oh, right. Mr. Krabs was frozen solid and scheduled to be executed in six days, and Plankton used his newfound Krabby Patty formula to hand out Bucket Helmets and enslave Bikini Bottom. All. Hail. Plankton. By returning the crown and going full-on Goofy Goober, Spongebob defeats Plankton, saves Mr. Krabs, and saves the entirety of Bikini Bottom from being enslaved by Plankton forever. This was–and probably still is–the most dangerous scheme Plankton’s ever come up with, so by extension we have to call it SpongeBob’s most heroic and overall good deed. But as much of a stand-up guy as SpongeBob is, he’s not exactly perfect. With that said, let’s talk about: The Bad Deeds Some of the best advice we can take from SpongeBob is to never be like The Fool Who Ripped His Pants. When SpongeBob accidentally rips his pants at Goo Lagoon, he gets some big laughs. So naturally, he does it again. And again. And…again…slowly, but surely, it goes from a funny running joke to something that irritates all of the beachgoers–culminating in SpongeBob pretending to drown. This causes great panic on the beach, devastating his audience and even making Sandy cry–who he was trying to impress in the first place. He does learn a valuable lesson–illustrated through one of his best musical numbers–to be true to yourself, and don’t miss your chance. That said, causing panic just to impress his friend wasn’t cool–even if it was just to get some laughs. Let’s go right back to Goo Lagoon for our next entry–Pretending to Be a Lifeguard. When Larry the Lobster mistakes SpongeBob for a lifeguard, SpongeBob goes with it to enjoy the popularity that comes with the title. Unfortunately, when it turns out that being a lifeguard means…guarding lives, things go south–and due to SpongeBob’s strange trait of not being able to swim, he ties up the beachgoers to keep them from swimming. To his credit, he was ultimately trying to protect them from danger he couldn’t save them from–and when Patrick gets cramps while swimming, SpongeBob risks his life to save him. That said, none of this would’ve happened if SpongeBob hadn’t lied about being a lifeguard for his popularity–his ego really does get the best of him sometimes. Case in point… Sabotaging Squidward was not a very “employee of the month”-worthy act. When Mr. Krabs and Squidward jokingly suggest that Squidward might just beat SpongeBob for the next Employee of the Month award, he takes it a little bit too seriously and ends up breaking into Squidward’s house to destroy his alarm clocks so he’ll end up late to work. The two end up in a grudge-match for the title–and even destroying the Krusty Krab in the process. When Mr. Krabs ends up being the victim, things have DEFINITELY gone too far. When it comes to “One Coarse Meal,” we have one question for SpongeBob: Whose Side are you On?! Seriously–when Mr. Krabs torments Plankton using his psychological fear of whales, SpongeBob understandably calls him out for going too far. He tells a forlorn Plankton that Mr. Krabs was the whale the entire time–and that he has a secret fear of mimes. On the surface, it seems like this was a good gesture meant to revitalize Plankton and get back at Krabs…but he then uses a projector to trick Plankton into thinking some whales have arrived, driving him away again. So it was really just a ploy to get back in Mr. Krabs’s good graces after accidentally revealing the formula’s hiding place. As awful as this is, we actually have to put this one pretty darn low–as much as we hate this episode, honestly–because while SpongeBob did simultaneously betray Plankton and Mr. Krabs’s trust here at different moments, he also technically prevented a suicide. It’s kinda sweet how much Plankton can count on SpongeBob, at the end of the day–if only it weren’t for the projector, we may have put this on the other end. We expect it from Krabs, but come on–you’re better than that, SpongeBob. Okay, we said we’d LIMIT accidental deeds, but we just had to mention Ripping Squidward's Toenail Off. While this was a freak accident, it still ought to be mentioned because…come on, this was SO preventable. While helping Squidward move a couch, SpongeBob accidentally moves it onto his foot–and despite Squidward SCREAMING in pain, he just keeps on moving it! It’s not only an infamously vile scene in a generally wholesome, lighthearted show, but it’s just…flat-out ignorant. And believe us–we’ll see more deeds like this. Reckless Driving is one of SpongeBob’s favorite unintentional hobbies. There’s a reason that SpongeBob is Mrs. Puff’s most utterly dreaded student. When he’s allowed to drive, things go south VERY quickly–and destruction is sure to follow. Examples include flooding a nursing home with fruit punch in “Doing Time,” almost running over a child in “Mrs. Puff, you’re Fired,” and of course the numerous instances he’s injured Mrs. Puff–and also gotten her arrested. We’ll get back to that later, but just know this little sponge is not gonna be getting any safe driver discounts. Cheer up, Spongebob–you’ll get your license one day…but please stay away from vehicles until then. Getting Squidward Kicked Out of the Cephalopod Lodge is up next. When Squidward commits the unpardonable sin–being happy–SpongeBob and Patrick naturally have to follow him to see what’s up. This results in the two getting Squidward kicked out of the Cephalopod Lodge, an exclusive club Squidward is a member of. This club meant a lot to Squidward–and while SpongeBob and Patrick try to cheer him up by making up new clubs, and even eventually trying to get him back into the lodge, none of it would’ve been an issue if they’d just…let the poor guy be happy for once. While they weren’t ill-intentioned here–as they usually aren’t–it was an unnecessary evil nonetheless. Being A Bad Neighbor doesn’t seem like a deed that should come from an episode called “Good Neighbors,” but SpongeBob (and Patrick, too) are pretty darn awful in this one. While most of the time, SpongeBob is simply being friendly around Squidward, here we see him–albeit well-intentioned–ruining the poor guy’s Sunday. This isn’t even a usual matter of SpongeBob and Patrick goofing off and Squidward getting passively annoyed; it’s the two actively harassing Squidward despite him not wanting to be bothered. He ends up injured multiple times, having his foot massage appointment ruined, and even having the security system TAKE OVER SQUIDWARD’S HOUSE, AND BEGIN ATTACKING THE CITY….hoo, sorry. I’m not sure what came over me there…anyway, yeah, just start taking the hint, Spongebob. Not everyone’s as sociable as you–and that’s no excuse to keep pestering them. Pushing Gary Too Hard is one of the few blots on SpongeBob’s pet-owner record–but we have to mention it. When the Great Snail Race is coming up, SpongeBob decides to enter Gary when Squidward insults him. While this at least originated as a desire to defend his beloved pet from slander, SpongeBob ends up totally exhausting Gary–and despite Gary’s pleas to let up on the training, SpongeBob only realizes this when Gary’s already hurt–having multiple blowouts. Thankfully, SpongeBob races onto the track to comfort Gary, disqualifying him from the race, but confirming that he cares much more about Gary than the competition. That said, he did get Gary injured from exhaustion here–so while he did have a nice turnaround, this one is still pretty darn low by his standards. Here we know SpongeBob was wrong; he Ignored Gary and now he’s gone. Upon getting distracted by the Dirty Bubble Challenge, SpongeBob totally neglects Gary, to the point where he even forgets to feed the poor little guy! Understandably, Gary runs away. To SpongeBob’s credit, he goes above and beyond to find Gary. He makes countless flyers and looks absolutely everywhere–even having a heartfelt musical montage we all know and love. Gary, come home… We’ll give SpongeBob some slack here since he immediately worked his butt off to find Gary…but neglecting him for so long still wasn’t cool. Yeah, notice a trend with these Gary ones–while SpongeBob often messes things up, he always has a good turnaround thanks to his immense love for his little buddy. Remember this for later. Being Mean to Everyone sounds like one of the least SpongeBob-esque deeds imaginable…but in the episode “Waiting,” it’s on full display. When SpongeBob is excitedly waiting on a toy to come in the mail from a cereal box prize, he turns into an absolute menace, refusing to leave the mailbox for anything. He puts off feeding Gary, flips Sandy and slams her on the ground–who, mind you, was literally just asking if he wanted to do some karate–and yelling at Patrick when he “broke” the toy. Thankfully, Squidward shows them that it’s just how the toy works. SpongeBob is just uncharacteristically mean here–while he often gets hyperfixated on whatever he’s interested in, it’s rare for him to mistreat his friends so badly. Hospitalizing Mrs. Puff isn’t a one-time occurrence for SpongeBob, but in “Demolition Doofus,” it goes to a whole nother level. SpongeBob ignores Mrs. Puff’s instructions and pleas, crashing into the top of the lighthouse–after she’s already been puffed up. His ego causes him to keep trying–and this results in Mrs. Puff’s inflation sac being ruptured. While SpongeBob does visit her in the hospital, he also…makes jokes about her condition. Yes, he near-fatally wounded his boating teacher, and proceeds to treat it like a joke. Like most of these deeds, he wasn’t ill-intentioned–but he is shockingly inconsiderate here, especially by Squarepants standards. Helping Bury the Health Inspector is up next. While we’ll submit that Mr. Krabs is more to blame for this than SpongeBob, it’s still worth mentioning. When the two believe that the health inspector is a con artist trying to get free food, they make the titular “Nasty Patty” to teach him a lesson. While SpongeBob is forced to do this under threat of being fired, he still takes an uncomfortable amount of pleasure in watching the man choke. When it turns out that this inspector is the real deal, the two understandably panic as he’s passed out–and they believe he’s dead. Fully believing that he has helped kill a man, SpongeBob helps Mr. Krabs cover their tracks and hide the body. It’s one of the darkest deeds the little guy has ever committed–and it would easily be in our top three, if not the gold medal, were it not for Mr. Krabs more so being the ringleader. Stalking Squidward sounds like a joke, but…well, just watch the episode “Squid’s Visit.” When Squidward refuses to visit SpongeBob at his house, he goes full-on creep mode. After harassing Squidward all day and begging him to come over, SpongeBob steals–I’m sorry, “borrows”--his vacuum cleaner so that he’ll have to visit to get it back, Squidward finds that SpongeBob has replicated every last detail of his home. He somehow even knows his exact brand of rash cream. Ew… the one break we can give SpongeBob here is that, when Squidward’s own house burns down, SpongeBob allows him to sleep under his roof while repairs go on. But that doesn’t really make this any less creepy–and honestly, even if it did, this episode still full-on confirms that SpongeBob is a legitimate stalker to some extent. Jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins for a reason. Take the episode “Breath of Fresh Squidward” for example. When Squidward gets shocked by his new electrical fence, SpongeBob starts to more or less get a taste of his own medicine, with Squidward becoming so aggressively friendly that even he gets irritated. This reaches its peak when Mr. Krabs asks Squidward to help SpongeBob in the kitchen, where he’s not only good at cooking Krabby Patties–he’s good enough to be the new Employee of the Month. While everyone else is proud and supportive of the new Squidward’s success, SpongeBob becomes intensely jealous, even shouting at him and kicking him out of his own party. We’ve rarely felt so sorry for Squidward, and we’ve rarely been so darn angry with SpongeBob. Due to the sheer hypocrisy of this–and how downright awful SpongeBob is to Squidward despite his genuine kindness here–we honestly wish we could give this the top spot…but if nothing else, SpongeBob did apologize to Squidward. So that’s something, and more than we can say for our top pick. The Gold Medal for Worst Spongebob Deed is: A Pal For Gary. Yes, the entire episode. This may be controversial, since SpongeBob’s issues in this episode were from ignorance rather than ill will, but while SpongeBob has shown himself to be a downright ignorant listener at times, here he takes it to a whole new level. When he suspects that Gary is lonely at home without him, he decides to get him a new friend to play with–ignoring the intense warnings of the lady he buys it from. Puffy Fluffy, the new pet, is extremely jealous and hostile around other pets, so SpongeBob’s negligence goes even further when he forces Gary to play–and even sleep–with his “new friend” Puffy Fluffy despite him clearly being uncomfortable. Gary has to fend for himself ALL NIGHT because of SpongeBob, and when SpongeBob wakes up and finds his library utterly destroyed, he immediately blames Gary without even suspecting Fluffy. Worse still, when he finally sees Puffy Fluffy transformed into a gigantic monster–with Gary IN HIS MOUTH–he BLAMES GARY. We could give him some slack and chalk this one up to ignorance, but SpongeBob has simply NEVER been this idiotic before–and here, he almost got his own pet snail killed. Even after SpongeBob himself almost gets eaten, Gary saves his life even after all he’s been put through–and SpongeBob is still mad at him, deciding to take him to work as he believes he can’t be home alone. SpongeBob has been ignorant and selfish before–albeit rarely–but blaming his pet for being terrified and nearly eaten by a monster, even after having his own life saved by him, is so infuriating that it has to be at the top of our list. It’s hard to even believe that this is SpongeBob…You deserve better, Gary. But tell us what you think Spongebob’s most evil deed is. Be sure to hit that notification bell and binge our Good to Evil playlist. But most importantly, stay wicked!
