Season 1, Episode 17
9/10
From buried treasure to an entire buried city
22 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Arrgh! - When Spongebob and Patrick bring a board game to the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs joins in and quickly becomes obsessed with it. It spirals into Mr. Krabs creating a mock treasure hunt and eventually they do find treasure. This is Mr. Krabs being greedy done right. He bosses the boys around and tries keeping the treasure for himself only to get what's coming in the end as Spongebob and Patrick get gold but he doesn't. There's also plenty of gags such as Patrick misreading the compass in a hilarious fashion and is very quotable as always. (8/10)

Rock Bottom - Ah, Rock Bottom. Perhaps one of the most famous episodes of the first season. This golden episode involves Spongebob and Patrick accidentally taking the wrong bus and ending up lost in another town. Quotable doesn't even begin to describe it. It's got atmosphere, it has gags, and it has Spongebob trying to survive on his own which, in moderation, can be a lot of fun. It's no secret why this episode is a fan favorite. (10/10)

Overall - Once again, another classic duo with one amazing episode back-to-back with one that's still great in succession with each other. Another fine piece of early Spongebob Squarepants!

Score: 10 + 8 = 18/20 -> 9/10 Would highly recommend.
