Wow! This is probably one of my most favorite episodes EVER! Everything's great about it. The music, the humor, the characters, the return of Squilliam(from Band Geeks, Squilliam Returns, House Fancy and Proffeser Squidward)Go Squilliam! Anyway, one sunny morning in Bikini Bottom, Spongebob starts dancing on his way to work. Much to Squidward's dismay, because everything Squidward loves, Spongebob does a LOT better. While dancing at the Krusty Krab, a talent agent loves Spongebob's dancing. She invites him to a Dance Audition. When Squidward finds out, he decides to "train" Spongebob. They start dancing on tradmills, with ribbons and canes. Soon Spongebob tires out, so Squidward runs to the audition. He dances horrible, but the agent loves it. Soon Squidward finds out who he's dancing for: Squilliam Fancyson, his college rival! Squilliam dances like Spongebob, and hates Squidward's moves. 6 words for haters of this episode Who put you on the planet! Final grade:Amoreless

The most classical episode of SpongeBob SquarePants I've ever seen

"Perfect"

I love this episode even though Squidward tried to get SpongeBob out of his audition because he got jealous. I love this episode too much so I'll be generous enough not to take away points. I thought SpongeBob showing off his dance moves on his way to work and during work was funny and it was funny when SpongeBob was dancing at the Krusty Krab and serving the customers, the one customer gets pizza on the table and then a knight on the table. It was cool when SpongeBob got an audition but I didn't like it that Squidward tried to ruin SpongeBob's audition just because he was jealous. SpongeBob showing off all of his dance moves at Squidward's house because Squidward was helping him practice (which he just trying to get SpongeBob tired) was classical. I loved SpongeBob's dance moves and it was classical, brilliant, and it felt like any classic cartoon should be and the big bump on Squidward for a brief second that I can tell that writers got it from "Tom and Jerry", I guess the writers wanted this episode to feel like a classic old cartoon which it did. I didn't like it when SpongeBob got tired but I was happy that Squilliam was the auditioner because it was about time that Squidward got payback and it was funny when Squilliam at the end of this episode insulted Squidward's dance moves. Overall, despite Squidward, I'm not gonna take away points because I love this episode. 10/10moreless

"Bad"

One morning, Squidward is walking to work with Spongebob, who is dancing. Squidward is annoyed by the dancing. When Squidward asks Spongebob, "Where's the music?" Spongebob replies, "in my mind!" Spongebob plays some music from his head, the music considered to be from title screens. When they are at work, Spongebob does dance routines while he is giving people their orders. He happens to be giving an order to a dance searcher and she thinks he has talent, so she gives Spongebob a card for the dance auditions. Squidward hears and he gets jealous that Spongebob was invited and he wasn't, so he has an evil plan, to make Spongebob collapse so he can take Spongebob's audition. To Squidward's annoyance, Spongebob seems to dance better than he does. So Squidward has Spongebob perform a series of moves that Spongebob can't perform correctly. Spongebob continues through the night leaving him feeling exhausted the next morning. After hours of practice and yelling from Squidward, Spongebob finally performs the moves right. However, Squidward isn't convinced and has him do it again. When Spongebob attempts the move again this time he finally passes out from exhaustion and Squidward heads to the audition. He passes, and he ends up with the prize: being in Squilliam Fancyson's play. Squidward is upset that he is being taught by his rival. Squilliam does the exact same thing that Squidward did to Spongebob and does his dance from the beginning. Meanwhile, Spongebob and Patrick are in the stands, watching and eating snacks, watching Squidward perform. The only good thing in this episode is the music.moreless

I really did not find this episode good at all. It wasn't really funny and the plot was really poor. The end would have been better off without Squilliam being in it. Since they put Squilliam in House Fancy, they have been starting to use Squilliam in episodes a bit too much. He's been in like 3 Season 7 episodes (2 are ones released in 2010 although they were great episodes). He would definatly be better in fewer episodes. Anyways, I just did not find this a great episode.

I know a ton of you will disagree with this review, but this is my opinion. Overall, I give it an F-.moreless
