Top 10 Episodes Of Spongebob Squarepants

When Spongebob Squarepants premiered on Nickelodeon in 1999, the world knew little about the always-optimistic, yet naive, sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea with his pet snail Gary, neighbors Squidward Tentacles and Patrick Star and money-hungry boss Mr. Krabs. With nostalgia at an all time high thanks to TeenNick's The 90s Are All That, it's time to take a closer look at the last remaining Nickelodeon cartoon to begin in the 90s and still be making new episodes in 2011, Spongebob Squarepants.

6. Opposite Day – season 1, episode 9b:

Nothing short of a classic, Opposite Day is one of the older episodes on this list, clocking in at episode nine of the entire series. Squidward is trying to sell his house to escape his neighbors, and so he tells Spongebob that it’s “opposite day,” in hopes that his natural personality won’t distract the realtor.

Little did he know what Spongebob’s complex reasoning would lead to:

“I don’t get it. I made my house a mess, which was making it clean, which made Squidward clean my yard, but that really means he’s messing it up. But the opposite of clean is filth, which means filth is clean, that means Squidward is really making my yard a wreck, but I normally wreck my own yard which means, Squidward is being the opposite of Squidward which means he’s SpongeBob! A-ha! I understand everything now! I must be the opposite of SpongeBob! By being… Squidward!”

Similar reasoning makes Patrick and Gary impersonate Squidward as well, terrifying the realtor and dooming Squidward to a life on Conch Street. Opposite Day is one of the best episodes of Spongebob because of the perfect blend it has of silliness, uniqueness, and in 2011, nostalgia.
