I swear, I could get a headache from listening to Spongebob's "Ooh, try again!" comment. I never understood Sandy's part in the story. It's wrong for a squirrel to be naked for one day, while almost everyone else is naked ALL THE TIME? The way people threw things at her and yelled at her bugged me. All I like is how people mistook her for a ferret. And, it also bugs me how stupid the cops are. They sit there for thirty minutes trying to remember a name, completely ignore theft of food, and accuse people for all the wrong reasons. It's as if the show is trying to imitate real life, which I think it shouldn't. | FINALLY, somebody else agrees with me about how completely screwed up this episode is! I guess the "Try again" scene you mentioned did kinda drag on, and about a squirrel being naked while almost everybody else is naked, all I can say is, what were the writers thinking?! However, I guess I can understand Sandy being mistaken for a ferret since ferrets are rodents too, but what really bugs me is that, even if they knew Sandy was a squirrel, it's just another example of how completely stupid a lot of residents in Bikini Bottom are!And above all that, I completely agree with you about the way the cops are portrayed on this show! A lot of shows on Nickelodeon (and I guess a couple of other channels) portray cops that way! Additionally, they don't listen to reason, they don't know who's the real criminal, they don't let people tell their sides of the story, they don't act nice all the time, and they don't even let people off with warnings! What is Nickelodeon thinking?! And I don't care if it's just a cartoon. Even cartoons have to have some sense of realism. | "SpongeBob" is just a simple cartoon that has no continuity nor is to make sense at all. I mean, the show stars talking sea animals who walk rather than swim and are never completely accurate with their actual species' anatomy (i.e. SpongeBob being able to walk and talk when real sea sponges stay in one place and can't move). The show is chalkful of inconsistencies, so trying to analyze each one is just ridiculous. If you really don't like the quality of the show, just don't watch it. | That's the trouble with some of today's cartoons. They hardly have any consistencies at all, and trying to analyze each one is not ridiculous. Besides, the first seasons of Spongebob were better and had better sense than today's seasons. Also, I'm not trying to keep everything realistic, all I'm saying is that this show is becoming pretty hard to figure out, and with that being said, it kinda makes you wonder why or how the writers would come up with ideas that are twisted and unpredictable. | 1. When were cartoons EVER realistic? Maybe a very select few like Doug and As Told By Ginger, but those were actually supposed to be realistic, not comedic. 2. SpongeBob is meant to be LAUGHED at, not analyzed. 3. Once again, SpongeBob is meant to be LAUGHED at, liking a season better for being more realistic than comedic is crazy. 4. SpongeBob is a silly show, and being twisted and unpredictable are parts of being a silly show. Clearly you should not watch SpongeBob. You are clearly watching it for realism, which is a sense you should completely forget while watching a show like this. | 1. Okay, I'll admit that cartoons aren't ENTIRELY realistic, but keep in mind that some cartoons, such as SatAM (we all know that one!), had SOME sense of realism, despite all their fantasy satires. Besides, even realism can be put to comedic use.2. I understand, but being a critic, I feel it's only fair that I point some stuff that some people should know about. 3. Well, you may think it's crazy, but I don't think it's crazy at all. We all have different points of view. 4. I'll take your word on the show being twisted and unpredictable, which is fine as long as it doesn't get twisted and unpredictable enough to the point where it becomes less and less innocent, unlike Warner Bros. cartoons such as Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, and Pinky and the Brain. At least Warner Bros. manages to keep its cartoon twisted and unpredictable without losing innocence. If I'm watching Spongebob for realism, so sue me. I can't help being a critic. | 1. I did say that some cartoons were realistic. But SpongeBob is one of them. At all. 'Nuff said. 2. Yes, but your criticizing points that the show doesn't try too well, like realism, because it isn't that type of show. 3. Sigh, not liking a comedy for lack of realism is like not liking a drama for lack of comedy. It just plain isn't what the show is trying to do, and SHOULDN'T try to do. 4. SPONGE. BOB. ISN'T. MEANT. FOR. REALISM. Gosh, if I wrote a report on the history of a certain town, would the teacher fail me for not giving any info on another? You can't criticize something for the lack of a thing it's not trying to do. Let's end this argument. We're just repeating the same things. |
