Episode 11: MuscleBob BuffPants/Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost

[TVGuy3 · 8/10 · 28 May 2010]

These were two good episodes.

"MuscleBob BuffPants" This episode has a great premise. SpongeBob is a total weakling and Sandy's work-out regimen isn't working for him, so he buys inflatable muscles. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver the way I hoped it would. The ending is great, but it's slow in parts. 8/10

"Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost" Another hilarious premise. Squidward makes a wax sculpture of himself. SpongeBob and Patrick destroy it and think that they killed Squidward. The way this episode unfolds is hilarious. Mr. Krabs has the best line, but it would be a spoiler. A great episode. 9/10

Whole Episode: 8.5/10

Muscle bob was great, I really like how they included him seeing the ad on tv. Really added to the ep.

Ghost squid is a ep that I can watch over and over again, good in every aspect.

A pretty good episode

Neither episode is great, though they both have their moments

Musclebob buffpants (7) This segment is interesting in how it shows Spongebob's more unlikable side while still making him a complex and sympathetic character. It's not that funny, but it has some very creative visual gags and good animation.

Squidward the unfriendly ghost (7) The middle of the episode drags on and is very unfunny but the opening and ending have some great moments as well as an entertaining plot that either soars or sinks depending on what joke they're running with.

All in all, it's one of the weaker episodes of the season, though still worth watching if you've exhausted all the better ones.
