    So, I guess some of us like these episode discussion topics, right? so I thought to make one with a purpose. Comparing two of the best SpongeBob episodes, and well, they both have something to do with a box

    I personally like Idiot Box better. It's more of a classic, I mean you can go to anyone and say "IMAGINAAAATION" and they'll know what are you talking about.

    Both of them were great, But I liked Idiot Box better because I thought the Secret box was a little on the boring side.

    There's a lot of reasons why Idiot Box is awesome! Imagination! Sound effects! Squidward's TV! And him pretending to drive a racecar!

    It is a classic, I agree.

    The Secret Box is better. I would say Idiot Box though, if it weren't for the ending.

    I still didn't get how they made all those sound effects. But maybe it wasn't Spongebob and Patrick...maybe it was Squidward's imagination!

    hmmm, good point. But why would he hear the sounds on the first place? Now that I think about it, here's my theory (based on what you said)
    After Squid sees that SpongeBob and Patrick prefer to play in a dumb ol' box instead of watching their giant new TV, Squid subconsciously starts hearing these noises because in his mind he can't make up the idea of someone doing something as dumb as playing with a box, but he is so curious to know what they are doing in there that he starts to have these auditive illusions. The world may never know....

    That's a good point. Squid's gone crazy!

    the wat, why would you throw a GIANT SCREEN T.V, for a box? That sounds childish, but then again Spongebob, and Patrick are childish, but they wasted money, for a box, they could have just gotten a box anytime, but no they ordered a GIANT SCREEN T.V, and then thre it away, and gave it to Squidward and kept the box for IMAGINATIONS! Thats sounds very childish, but funny.

    Here's what I don't get...if you were the one imagining what's goingon...like the space launch or the Robot Pirate Island thing, for example, then you might hear it in your mind very loudly. But if it was SpongeBob and Patrick who were imagining it, and not Squidward, then how did he hear it??

    maybe its just coincidence that they were imagining the same thing. oooooooooooh...
