Not because I don’t want them to enjoy the show, but because they need to learn about the horrors of employment and doing taxes early, right? There’s also quite a bit about free-form jazz, office supplies, and taxes, which is going to sail right over kid’s heads and I think that is great. And what a better arbiter for this shift in tone away from children’s content than an episode about being an adult? It’s esoteric, strange, filled with stereotypical ‘baby’ things, and laden with nostalgia. Right around this point in the show’s life there was a turn towards writing certain material for adults, like including marine biology references, bending the laws of physics, and playful jabs at classic TV and film genres. But much like that sweater with love in every stitch, this entire episode is intricately planned, executed, and loaded with in-jokes and meta writing. Like, to such a degree that I really do not know what drugs the writers were smoking when they wrote this. Let’s get this out of the way right now: for as weird as SpongeBob is, “Grandma’s Kisses” is extraordinarily weird. So just know that you are not crazy, and that I am purposefully being weird about the jargon. But some episodes are only one long segment, and sometimes there are three in one, since this show doesn’t like being pinned down to one structure. Really, an episode of SpongeBob is two segments put together with commercials, and so technically this is a list of the 100 greatest segments. You may notice the interchangeable nature of the word “episode” in this list. We here at Geek Binge love SpongeBob, and we hope you do too. So read around, comment, bask in the nostalgia, and enjoy all the funny images, memes, videos, and memories from the last fifteen years in one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Ten episodes will drop here every single day for the next two weeks, culminating in the final spots near the 15th anniversary of the show’s premiere. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the official list of the best episodes of SpongeBob Squarepants! In this article, we’ll dive into the rich history of the show and give you a definitive list of the greatest episodes.
