  • SpongeBob become hall monitor and jellyfish wrecks SpongeBob's house

    Hall Monitor-I liked/laughed the very beginning, SpongeBob making a speech, SpongeBob moving the traffic, Patrick thinking the ice cream is alive, SpongeBob and Patrick getting ice cream, Patrick freaking out about the maniac, and SpongeBob runs after founding out he's the maniac. It is not perfect because I thought some of the parts were boring. Overall score 9/10.

    Jellyfish Jam-I liked/laughed SpongeBob as a stone, SpongeBob making the jellyfish as a bread, the jellyfish following SpongeBob, jellyfish doing stuffs in front of Squidward's house, SpongeBob dancing to the music, the jellyfishes at SpongeBob's house, Squidward playing the clarinet, the part with The music and the last part. Overall score 10/10moreless

    Probably the second worst spongebob pairing in season 1 while both episodes had their moments they did not really feel done right. Like with Hall Monitor a few things seemed too predictable like the first part where spongebob was doing terrible at the job i literaly guessed that in a whopping 3 seconds! plus most of the jokes were not that funny like how patrick kept saying things in the walkie talkie over and over! As for the second one most of it seemed to drag on and squidward did not deserve a part like that there is not a whole lot to say about the second one either
    Both episodes get A 5/10 D-moreless

    In the first of these two episodes, Hall Monitor, it is finally Spongebob's turn to be Hall Monitor at Mrs. Puff's Boating School. But will he end up doing a good job, or will he go over board?

    In the second, Jellyfish Jam, Spongebob notices a jellyfish is following him home, and Squidward warns him against keeping it, but Spongebob decides he knows what he is doing. Does he?

    Good episode. Jellyfish Jam is the better of the two, I think in both humor and plot, but both episodes are decent enough for my to give it a B+ or so as my final grade.moreless

    Both episodes were very bad.I hate watching this episode.Hall Monitor was bad.Spongebob became a hall monitor because everyone else did it.So he goes around town doing rules.Hello?It's Hall Monitor,not Town Monitor.And everybody was being so stupid that they believe that Spongebob was a maniac.Oh come on,he was wearing a mask,people!A part that I really hated is when Spongebob destroyed the city.That part was horrible.Jellyfish Jam was even more terrible.Spongebob keeps a jellyfish,causing it to throw a wild party.Why on earth would anybody wanna adopt a jellyfish?That's how Steve Irwin died!I hated the part with the party and Spongebob's tv and flower was destroyed.That was horrible.Jellyfish Jam was a good song.The only scenes that was good is when Spongebob makes a jellyfish like a cow and the ending.The episodes were horrible and the creators could do better than this.moreless

    • Jellyfish Jam: Music The music featured in "Jellyfish Jam" is a reference to the early 90's music of 2 Unlimited, which was all the rage at the time, and continues to be used in commercials and films even to this day. The song in question that is parodied is "Get Ready 4 This," right down to the crowd cheer samples. Edit
