Took me long enough, after a long hiatus, but I'm finally back on GameSpot. Hehe, missed you guys. Anyways I know I've been a jerk to put up a list of the best SpongeBob episodes ever and not even put up No. 1, so I think I'll do it now.

AND "THE BEST SPONGEBOB EPISODE OF ALL TIME" AWARD GOES TO...

[spoiler]

PLOT SYPNOSIS: Bubble Bass is in Bikini Bottom and he's hungry for a Krabby Patty at the Krusty Krab. Being the picky diphthong that he is, Bass ruins SpongeBob's self-confidence as a fry cook by telling him that he forgot the pickles on his order, and that "You [SpongeBob] lose". Disappointed, Bob tries to retrace the steps to making a Krabby Patty, but his hurt pride prevents him from being able to work. Mr. Krabs sends Bob home and gets Squidward to replace the duty of fry cook. All goes well, initially, but since Squid can't make a simple Krabby Patty right, Mr. Krabs is desperate for Bob to come back to satisfy the angry, hungry customers. But when Krabs visits Bob's home, it is in shambles. Bob can't seem to do anything "because, pickles" and so Krabs is forced to have Bob re-learn the formula (or "formuler", as how Krabs would say it). Eventually Bob picks up on the formula again, and returns to the Krusty Krab, with a score to settle with Bubble Bass, western style. Once the town knows that Bob's back on the job, so does Bass and so he challenges Bob again by asking him to make another Krabby Patty, and "this time, don't forget the pickles."

"I didn't," Spongebob replies, twirling his spatula like a boss. Bass chews obnoxiously on the Krabby Patty, feeling for pickles in his mouth, but "still no pickles!" he exclaims. Bob is surprised at this, as he knows that the pickles were in there for sure. When Bass performs his victory laugh, however, Bob notices that the pickles were hidden underneath Bass' tongue the whole time. The crowd of customers is angry at Bass and so Bass flees the scene.

CLICK BELOW FOR EPISODE TITLE

[spoiler] If you haven't noticed by now, the No. 1 Episode in SpongeBob SquarePants history is Season One's "Pickles". This episode has always been dear to me, as it's always been my favorite SBSP episode since I first saw it. The plot is so classic and it shows the manly side of SpongeBob, and the natural occurence of trial and error. In short: IT'S EPIC! [/spoiler]
