Coming home from school to watch SpongeBob was a major part of my childhood. Over the past 25 years, we've seen some truly hilarious and heartwarming episodes, complete with iconic quotes and memes that have traversed generations.
So, in honor of the show's 25th anniversary, I decided to rank the top 25 episodes of all time.
Let's start with some honorable mentions. Honestly, the first few seasons of SpongeBob were so strong it would be easy to argue for any episode to make the top. Here are some that came thiiiis close to making the list: • Ripped Pants (Season 1, Episode 2) • Jellyfishing (Season 1, Episode 3) • F.U.N. (Season 1, Episode 10) • Walking Small (Season 1, Episode 18) • Life of Crime (Season 2, Episode 7) • Frankendoodle (Season 2, Episode 14) • Krab Borg (Season 3, Episode 9) • Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V (Season 3, Episode 12) • Mid-Life Crustacean (Season 3, Episode 15) • Dunces and Dragons (Season 4, Episode 6)
25. "Texas" (Season 1, Episode 18) Sandy Cheeks in a cowboy hat plays guitar with a jellyfish floating nearby United Plankton Pictures, Nickelodeon Animation Studios / Via static.wikia.nocookie.net Best Quote: "I wanna go hoooommme..." A homesick Sandy wants to return to Texas, and SpongeBob attempts to throw her a surprise party to convince her to stay. To get her off the bus, SpongeBob and Patrick throw a series of jabs at her home state, leading to a chase scene that gives us one of the greatest memes the show has to offer.
The ending at the Krusty Krab, when Sandy realizes home is where people care about you, really warms the heart. The chase scene is an iconic meme moment:

I’m partial to Frankendoodle.
“Wait… D,ya smell it….? It’s a smelly kinda smell….?”
“ANCHOVIES!!!!!”
“This is the end, Mr. Squidward!!!!!”
“Eateateateateateateat…”
One of my kids favorite episodes …
Actually… Reminds me of the Democrat national convention
I think the Republicans consult the Magic Conch.
“What do we do now, Magic Conch?”
“Nothing.”
“The shell has spoken!”
My whole family are big SpongeBob fans since the babies were babies. That was 25 years ago.
Preach!

Squidward (to Patrick): Don't you have to go be stupid somewhere else?
Patrick: Not till four...
He finally came out of the closet in 2020:
SpongeBob SquarePants Is Gay! Nickelodeon (Finally) Confirms His LGBTQ Status for Pride.
That was his number one episode:
1. “Band Geeks” (Season 2, Episode 15)
If they did, they waited until the creator of Spongebob passed away.
Aritcles and reading are your friend.

Addressing issues raised last week after at least two conservative Christian activist groups said the hugely popular TV cartoon character and his best friend, Patrick Starfish, are being exploited to promote a homosexual lifestyle, SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg, 43, scoffed. He said the allegations are far-fetched, and that his agenda does not go beyond entertainment.
“It doesn’t have anything to do with what we’re trying to do,” Hillenburg tells Reuters. “We never intended them to be gay. I consider them to be almost asexual. We’re just trying to be funny and this has got nothing to do with the show.”
Indeed, you so don’t care that you took the time to find a meme, copy names of FReepers, hit reply, paste the names into the To window, copy the meme url, paste it into the Your Reply window, hack html code, press Preview, and then Post after any clean up.
Yep, you really don’t care. Got it.
