SpongeBob is the goat actually let me rephrase that early SpongeBob is the goat whether it be the fried cook games episode or pizza delivery or chocolate with nuts and of course let's not forget the incredible bang Geeks episode it's very safe to say that those early season episodes of SpongeBob are iconic it's also safe to say that there are some early episodes that are how should I say it creepy as hell at least when we were kids they were creepy as hell Tom Kenny created some of the most chilling episodes in cartoon history and we're
going to go over a few of those chilling episodes right now doing time the fifth episode of season 3 begins with a police chase involving SpongeBob on his driving test with Mrs Puff once it's over Mrs Puff is sent to jail for the incident doing time may not be the scariest episode we cover but it sure has its creepy moments especially if you're a child watching it once in jail Mrs Puff realizes that she doesn't have to deal with SpongeBob anymore payment's no more SpongeBob no more SpongeBob making her enjoy her stay on the inside
on the outside SpongeBob enlists the help of Patrick to help break Mrs Puff out of jail what follows is a depiction of Mrs Puff where she begins to lose her mind with the guards believing she's having virtually a mental breakdown there's some Eerie visuals throughout the episode like when SpongeBob is in the chili SpongeBob and Patrick impersonating the police officers and the real police officers getting their faces ripped off but the creepiest part of this episode comes when Mrs Puff gets thrown into solitary confinement once in inside Mrs Puff thinks she's safe only for SpongeBob
to appear all throughout the room on the walls with a Sinister laugh and score accompanying it doing time explores the kind of psychological breakdown of Mrs Puff in ways that are more than capable of chilling the spine in the end there really isn't an explanation for what happened maybe it was all the dream maybe it wasn't procrastination tasked with writing a paper on what not to do at a stoplight SpongeBob finds himself with a major case of writer's block this leads to to like the title suggests procrastination from feeding Gary to cleaning his home and
trying to strike up a conversation with the mailman SpongeBob does everything he can to put off his essay then things take a pretty dark turn after the TV news calls SpongeBob out for not working on his essay we get a scene where the news fish comes right out of the screen in a pretty off-putting shot but it's not until the power goes out that really hits the fan hey SpongeBob over here come on take a seat feet put your feet up and relax this chair sequence is creepy as hell and freaked me out a lot
as a kid soon after we get SpongeBob running down his hallway which leads him right to his desk but now he's tiny everything about this feels like a fever dream his pants run away from him his clock says some menacing things and to finish it off his house catches on fire we're left with one more creepy scene where his pineapple home starts to talk why did you set me on fire SpongeBob why didn't you just write your essay eventually it's revealed that SpongeBob was just dreaming this is a super relatable episode about procrastinating I've been
there you've been there happens to all of us but the way that SpongeBob's procrastination comes to haunt them here is extremely spooky if you're still in high school maybe just write your paper so your house doesn't talk to you rock bottom a trip back home from glove world goes wrong it leaves SpongeBob stranded and Rock Bottom a dark and scary sort of Underworld a bikini bottle or he has to figure out how to get back home Rock Bottom is an iconic episode and is also referred to as one of the scariest for a multitude of
reasons once in Rock Bottom SpongeBob is greeted by tons of scary creatures including one who seemingly tries to steal his balloon the setting of Rock Bottom in itself is terrifying it's dark drab and has its haunting presence after missing the bus about a dozen times SpongeBob resorts to the bus station for help where he goes to the back of the line where we get in my opinion one of the more weird and skin crawling visuals one of the creatures in line coughs up a damn egg which hatches several Offspring soon after the bus station closes
for the night the SpongeBob is left in the dark after his glove light craps out on them this isn't your average everyday Darkness this is Advanced Darkness kids hate the dark and the way this episode has built up Rock Bottom we're creeped out for SpongeBob after leaving the bus station we hear an odd noise from the background SpongeBob fearfully runs before being cornered by a character from earlier who gives him back his lost glove world balloon and sends him on his way home this episode is a perfect example of using something simple like the dark
to frighten us and putting the viewer in this menacing world it's a nostalgic 12 minutes of prime and creepy SpongeBob SB 129 SB 129 might be the most discussed SpongeBob episode theories are always floating around as to what this episode means exactly in this episode we see Squidward try to escape SpongeBob and Patrick who want to go jellyfishing Squidward just wants to play clarinet in private and decides to sneak into the closed crusty crab to play after SpongeBob and Patrick follow him there he hides in the freezer but he's locked inside for 2,000 years I
believe what follows is one of the darkest themes that SpongeBob has ever presented after arriving in the future and meeting SpongeBob and Patrick's descendants Squidward hops into a time machine to go back to the past instead he goes too far into the past and meets caveman versions of SpongeBob and Patrick he teaches them how to jelly fish but is chased off by them after irritating them with this music Squidward freaks out and breaks the time machine which sends them to Nowhere there's nothing it's exactly what Squidward wants after saying that he's found a place where
he can be all alone we get this Eerie sequence alone alone alone alone alone Squidward panics he's too alone this episode tackles what people fear and what I believe some don't realize they fear autophobia the fear of being alone Squidward realizes that even though he wants peace and quiet this nothingness realm is worse than being annoyed by SpongeBob and Patrick there's a great video by Carson runquist that goes over this episode also in the comments of that video there's a great comment left talking about how since Squidward showed caveman SpongeBob and Patrick how to jellyfish
he in turn years later caused his own prison s SP 129 is such a thought-provoking a dark episode for a Nickelodeon show and one that is hard not to mention when it comes to the darkest and scariest episodes in SpongeBob history thanks for watching and stay safe this Halloween I'll catch you at the next one peace
