    I LOVED THIS SPECIAL. It was downright creative in every way, there were very memorable moments (Such as Patrick's attempts to trap Santa), and there were some flaws ( Like Sandy afflicted by Jerktonium, which freaked me out) and Santa's pig-like appearance. But overall, I love it, but it's not as good as Christmas Who.

  • Why the heck is it made of clay

    This episode looks awesome from the promos and I'm glad that there's a second Christmas special. Obviously, the two lowest scored reviewers are affected by Plankton's"jerktonium" fruit cake, but screw them, they're just not true SB fans. So, this Christmas special was as awesome as the first one. I even liked the stop motion animation in this episode. This is the first special Patchy and Potty are used since Truth of Square. IMO, their segments here were tolerable. There were no flaws in this episode. Even though the writers are overusing Plankton, I didn't mind his involvement here. There isn't that much funny moments in this episode but there were some like SpongeBob feeding everyone in Bikini Bottom with the fruit cake which made every jerks, a few part from the Patchy segment, Patrick hanging from the sleigh, and robot SpongeBob. As for the musical they were very enjoyable especially Don't Be a Jerk. All in all, this was an awesome Christmas special and I am defiently seeing again today. Worth watching every holiday season. 10/10moreless

    I started watching this and it was ok. I would rather see Patchy live because the animation of him in between was an awful touch. I don't get why Santa looked like a troll. They made Santa look like Santa in Rudolf. I understand the whole clay animated thing but they could have done it a lot better. I watched the show long enough to see the jerk song which I do love afterwards I lost interest as did my son and I turned the channel. I can't wait to see the other Christmas episode.moreless
