SpongeBob SquarePants (TV Series) Culture Shock/F.U.N. (1999) User Reviews

I'm SO CONFUSED

[pledgerock · 8/10 · 5 November 2020]

What is with all these bizarre nonsensical reviews?????? Are they all from one person??? So strange.

F.U.N. Is a classic.

"How long...."

"How long we're you planning on doing this?"

"TELL ME!"

The whole song is so much fun. The ending of Culture Shock was perfect. I don't understand anyone not getting the fact that it's great Squidward is booed off the stage while Spongebob is thrown roses for mopping. After Squid treated Spongebob like a doormat isn't that just good karma? These reviews sound like they're coming from a four year old. I'll be theyre all the same person.

Why are you mad at Clancy Brown?????? What did he do to you?!?!

Brilliant

[ramossebastian-65482 · 9/10 · 27 June 2020]

You have to really appreciate the nature and spirit of this program. The true sense of Spongebob and the genius writers my respects. Adding super nice and original stand up performances from special characters that make the final act beautiful for a GOAT animation show.

Culture Shock / F.U.N

[iratecartoons · 9/10 · 11 April 2021]

Both of these episodes are really entertaining and funny!

9/10 to both.

These Reviews

[VenVes · 28 December 2019]

What the hell is up with these reviews? Were these people on drugs, or just bombing this episode's ratings for meme purposes?

Anyway, here's an actual reasonable review.

Culture Shock didn't make too much sense, but it was fun to see the characters showing other sides of themselves (especially squidward, who's always shut off from the world). F.U.N. was a really interesting episode where you get to see a more serious take on Plankton and his motives. Too bad for the ending making him out to be some sort of sociopath; it would have been interesting to see some character progression for him here, even if for just one whole episode.

An incredibly F.U.N episode

[aspieducklover-02304 · 9/10 · 9 February 2023]

Both episodes in this are classics.

Culture shock (9) Culture shock is mainly a montage of events in a talent show, but these events are not only incredibly creative, they're also incredibly funny. Each character gets a moment to shine and the jokes are some of the best yet. It's simple yet immensely effective.

F. U. N (9) The song is a bit overrated, but the episode is great. Spongebob and plankton counter each other perfectly and the story has some good drama and comedy. It's brilliantly paced and has some really good character moments, though it isn't quite as funny as some of the other episodes.

This episode is better than all those that came before it and it has two classics. What's not to love about it?

My Favorite Episode

[StephenBurg · 10/10 · 5 August 2012]

Culture Shock is my favorite episode of SpongeBob SqaurePants. In this episode, the Krusty Krab is having an unsteady lack of customers and Mr. Krabs asks SpongeBob and Squidward ways to improve their publicity. After many bizarre but funny ideas from SpongeBob, Squidward agrees with Mr. Krabs that they should do a Krusty Krab talent show, with SpongeBob as the janitor and Squidward as "the show stopper." However, not everything works out as planned. Pretty funny episode, good story, well done. I actually thought that Squidward's act was the best part of the episode.

F.U.N is another great episode of SpongeBob. As his latest attempt to steal the secret formula to the Krabby Patty, Plankton hangs out with SpongeBob. SpongeBob teaches Plankton about fun (via a catchy song) and believes that Plankton gave up on being evil in general. But Mr. Krabs is as suspicous as ever. This episode has a good song and a story.

Episode 10: Culture Shock/F.U.N.

[TVGuy3 · 10/10 · 27 May 2010]

Two brilliant episodes.

"Culture Shock" Squidward hosts a talent show at the Krusty Krab where most of the acts bomb. Several hilarious moments in this episode, like when Plankton uses the show to try to steal a Krabby Patty, and when Patrick laughs uncontrollably for no reason at all. 10/10

"F.U.N." Easily better than most episodes, this episode not only has "THE FUN SONG" which it is known for, but it's actually a really funny episode. The humor in this episode in nonstop, but yes, people will argue with me if I don't say that the funniest line was Plankton's line in the fun song. 10/10

Whole Episode: 10/10

All 1-Star reviews were left on July 15, 2019.

[ExPresidents · 10/10 · 11 August 2023]

.....over 20 years after the episode aired, which I find very suspicious. Also, they seem to.have the same stylogy and grammar usage.

Clearly 80% of the reviews are left by one deranged person, one not even psychiatric meds can alleviate I'm afraid.

All the positive reviews we left years apart, too l, by the way, and seem to be written with wildly different styles and rating numbers that actually differentiate.

The only thing that puzzles me as to why someone would systematically abuse the rating system over a 20-year-old episode of a children's show totaling no more than 22 minutes.

That's the real f--ing mystery.

Dumb talent show/ Friends

[tylerlafleur · 7/10 · 6 July 2021]

The talent show ep was a bit boring honestly, the ending was great though and funny. I also like how squid-ward's pranks always backfire on him.

FUN ep was just great nostalgia from when I was a kid, me and my little brother used to love that song.

disgusting!

[amitycooper · 2/10 · 15 July 2019]

Who the hell would not want any talents?! At least mopping saved he day! The F.N.N episode was fine, but culture shock was disgusting!

dumbest episodes ever!

[rnobloom · 1/10 · 15 July 2019]

Dumbest episodes ever! who the heck could watch these!

Bad script, bad actors

[barbarawbuv · 1/10 · 15 July 2019]

Bad script, bad actors - the series is for people over 80+ or people without a high school diploma. Too bad that public funds are spent. Unworthy.

Spongebob is a kid's version of the Simpsons, south park, and family guy.

[amolikauguu · 2/10 · 15 July 2019]

Due to spongebob running for a long time with no end, It's just like the Simpsons, South Park, and Family guy all together in a kid way. But I don't think this is for kids! A lot of horrendous ideas for culture shock. F.U.N was fine.... BUT I HATE CLANCY BROWN FOR RUINING MY LIFE!!!

Spongebob infected the world

[faustineywvy · 1/10 · 15 July 2019]

In light of the events that occurred, magical series like PreCure will bring true love to our planet, and series like Spongebob will be a tv show wasteland.

Filthy and forgotten. If that's how those developers want him to be, then let him stay that way.

[jacinthabuu · 1/10 · 15 July 2019]

What kind of tv show would turn fun talents show into people hating talents? The developers filled Spongebob with black comedy. But was the "new" talent shows a suceess and made huge popularity? No.

Spongebob infected the whole world. it must fully die and be forgotten!

[faustineywvy · 1/10 · 15 July 2019]

In light of the events that occurred, Anime such as Precure will bring joy to our planet while tv shows like Spongebob, will end up in the tv show wasteland.

One Of The Ugliest Things I've Seen In Video Games

[amyibi · 2/10 · 15 July 2019]

If there's anything I hate, it's turning a nice friendly critter to a deranged sicko.

WHAT THE HELL?!

[poppygrace · 1/10 · 21 September 2019]

I love talent shows, but this is abominable! I wish Spongebob was NEVER born! Ever! Even if a business ever hosted a talent show due to lack of customers, it should never end up humiliating like all of it!
