    Since I'm late today, I'll post 5 episodes at a time.

    30. The Secret Box

    Comment: A classic that I just saw again recently and it was better than I remembered
    Favorite Quote: It's the embarrassing photo of Spongebob from the Christmas party!

    29. Rock-A-Bye Bivalve

    Comment: It's controversy makes this episode underrated. It's hilarious and I'm glad to see it so high up.
    Favorite Quote: Let's have another one.

    28. The Paper

    Comment: It may be a bit overrated because of it's rarity, but it's still funny and a classic.
    Favorite Quote: Hey, little Squidward, what's gray and ugly and has six arms? I don't know, have you looked in the mirror lately?

    27. Plankton's Army

    Comment: A great episode, Karen's reaction to hearing Plankton's real name was great.
    Favorite Quote: Why aren't you running? Well I can't read.

    26. I Had An Accident

    Comment: Another fantastic episode with some great forth wall humor.
    Favorite Quote: Chip has such a beautiful voice.
    I have no complaints.

    25. Pranks A Lot

    Comment: I remember the first time I saw this episode, I was laughing through almost the entire thing.
    Quote: And on your right, if you look, you'll see two naked guys fighting over a can of paint.

    24. Dying For Pie

    Comment: Ah, the episode that made me the most nervous the first time I saw it. For a while, this was entirely off the Top 50 but it made a big comeback to get to #24 on the list.
    Favorite Quote: THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT YOU BARNACLE HEAD!!!
    Ooh, good one.

    23. Sailor Mouth

    Comment: Tons of adult humor in this one, but perfectly disguised for kids not to understand what is supposed to replace the dolphin noises.
    Favorite Quote:
    Hi, Patrick, how the (squeak) are you?
    Pretty (squeak) good, SpongeBob.

    22. Big Pink Loser

    Comment: Ironically, this is the only episode that I didn't see months until after it aired.
    Favorite Quote: Patrick, that's a pickle.
    Yes.

    21. Single Cell Anniversary

    Comment: The newest episode to make the list (Technically) and for good reason. This one was fantastic and to see such a new episode ranked so high really says something.
    Favorite Quote: Why are you so obsessed with my internal organs?

    There are still 10 episodes left today and in about 2 hours, the Top 20 will begin to be posted. That's right, the average rankings of everyone's list. This is where it will start to get really good.

    20. Wet Painters

    Comment: One of my favorite episodes. In one of those that just keeps you laughing non-stop through the whole thing. Even though 20 is great, I would have put it up even higher. It's hard to pick only one favorite quote.
    Favorite Quote: Hey, Squidward, check this out. Two ordinary Krabby Patties, but when expertly tossed with the skill of a champ, they become... A one-way ticket to pain!!

    19. Just One Bite

    Comment: Ah, the famous edited episode. Completely worthy of the spot. And there were a lot more great parts in addition to that one.
    Favorite Quote: This is our burglar alarm? A bucket of water? That was too easy! Hey. This isn't water. This is...gas!

    18. Goo Goo Gas

    Comment: It hasn't even aired yet and it made the Top 20. What does that say?
    Favorite Quote: Hold it right there! Old people are out greatest natural resource! I salute you, old citizenry!

    17. SB-129

    Comment: Really good episode, mixing past and future. One thing that made it great was Squidward actually missing Spongebob and Patrick. A great Spongebob moment. And a great ending...
    Favorite Quote: Jellyfishing? No!! Ohh...who's the barnacle head who invented that game anyway?
    You are, Squidward!

    16. The Sponge Who Could Fly (The Lost Episode)

    Comment: This one surprised me a little bit. I thought it was really good, but I didn't think many people liked it they didn't think it lived up to the hype.
    Favorite Quote: If we were meant to fly, uh... hey, I'm not your grandfather!

    15. Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy V (Superfriends)

    Comment: I love the concept of this episode. Superpower episodes are always fun to watch.
    Favorite Quote: Every Villain Is Lemons

    14. Pizza Delivery

    Comment: And the #1 episode from this morning finally is listed. I love this one not only for the humor, but because Squidward stood up for Spongebob. Favorite Quote: SpongeBob, will you forget the stupid pioneers? Have you ever noticed that there are none of them left? That's because they were lousy hitchhikers, ate coral and took directions from algae!

    13. Party Pooper Pants (Spongebob's House Party)

    Comment: Great episode with lots of jokes and even though Spongebob got kicked out of his own house, it ended up turning out well for everyone. Also, Scooter got his name in this episode! So I dedicated my favorite quote to him.
    Favorite Quote: Mine says, 'What came first?: the oyster or the pearl?'

    12. Graveyard Shift

    Comment: Another one of my favorites. It perfectly mixed horror and humor and I love creepy episodes. And it still scares me a little even after I've seen it so many times.
    Favorite Quote: Nosferatu!

    11. Snowball Effect

    Comment: I love Winter-Themed episodes just as much as creepy ones. And this one is no exception. It had tons of great moments like the whole slow-motion sequence.
    Favorite Quote: Squidward, that wasn't a peace treaty. It was a copy of the peace treaty.

    And that's all for tonight! There are only 10 episodes remaining! Tomorrow I will reveal them 1 at a time to build up the suspense.

    So far, I'm agreeing with everything except The Graveyard Shift, I don't see what's so good about that episode, but that's just me...

    10. Club Spongebob Comment: It took a while for this episode to even make the list actually, but it sparked a huge comeback to make it to #10. I think it's a really good episode, maybe a tad overrated. Survival episodes are usually good, especially when they're as funny as this.
    Favorite Quote: The shell has spoken!

    9. Idiot Box

    Comment: This one moved around a ton in the Top 10 before finally stopping at 9. Another one of my favorites. Some great humor and originality. Besides, I always loved playing in boxes when I was little.
    Favorite Quote: Imagination

    8. Spongebob Meets The Strangler

    Comment: This one started low on the list and just kept going higher and higher all the way until #8. I first saw this one on a DVD when it was unaired. It was great then and it is great now.
    Favorite Quote:
    Get your feet out of my eye sockets!
    I'm trying, but my cleats are stuck in your corneas!

    7. Krusty Krab Training Video

    Comment: The KK Training Video was always near the top of the list. As I've said before, the two behind it and the one ahead of it were all incredibly close together. This video teaches you everything you need to know about working at the Krusty Krab. Well... almost.
    Favorite Quote: Hoopla!

    6. Shanghaied

    Comment: This is a fantastic episode and one of my favorites. I love Flying Dutchman appearances and this episode had great humor and plot.
    Favorite Quote: But the door is locked and the only way out is through the....perfume department.

    Amazing list! Specially the last 5 who almost all of them got my vote. Higher on the list, Graveyard Shift and SB-129 overrated as usual, but oh well. Can't wait for the top 5!

    5. Krusty Towers

    Comment: While most of the Top 10 was moving around a lot, this one stayed in the same place pretty much the whole time. After a long hiatus from Spongebob, this episode kicked it off again with a bang. It is by far the best Season 4 episode.
    Favorite Quote: Sorry Mr. Krabs, we were all out of cheese.

    The next 2 episodes flip-flopped a ton of times before finally deciding 3rd and 4th.

    4. Christmas Who?

    Comment: I love almost all Christmas specials and out of all of them, this is one of my favorites. It represents the true meaning of Christmas.
    Favorite Quote: My wish is that the people of Bikini Bottom will stop paying any attention to the inane dribble that is constantly streaming out of this dunderhead's mouth.
    Gee, Squidward, maybe Santa will bring me a dictionary so I can understand what you just said.

    3. The Camping Episode

    Comment: After Christmas Who lead it for almost the entire time, The Camping Episode barely overtook it in the last few lists. This is a perfect example of the Squidward sabotage working. And like many other episodes, it sure helped to have such a great song.
    Favorite Quote:
    What'd I do that time?
    I don't know, I guess he just doesn't like you!

    So I'm sure that you can all guess that Chocolate With Nuts and Band Geeks are the Top 2. But which one is the winner? I'll say this. Chocolate With Nuts had a commanding lead for a while as a few people put it significantly higher than Band Geeks. But when one list left CWN off completely, the race was neck and neck. Find out the final results in about an hour.

    These last 3 are time-less classics, and I'm glad I can say that about a season 4 episode. Bring on those top 2!

    EDIT: Dar these glitches didn't let me see your last post

    ahmm.

    I;m SOOO glad and happy that my all-time top 2 are also everybody's top 2, only I'd flip the positions, but these two episodes are perfect examples of the true essence that is SpongeBob and I could never get tired of watching them.

    Overall, this was a fantastic and very much accurate list, The_Cartoon, thanks for going thru all this work
