Six words. Squidward Tentacles was a big jerk!

1.0

I would say that this is the worst episode of Season 9. This episode was all about Squidward reading SpongeBob's diary, and leaving him to cry. What a jerk! Even the citizens were making fun of him. And then, when SpongeBob cried, they suddenly felt sorry for him. Squidward and the citizens should have been put in a mental hospital because of this! The only good thing that happened in this episode is Squidward got his karma. If I was the taxi driver, I could have ran over Squidward instead of not letting him in. That way, Squidward will die and burn in hell

Final Grade: 1.0/10 Fmoreless

Awful.

SpongeBob season 9 had some decent episodes admittedly, but there was absolutely nothing funny about this episode. Unless you find Squidward making SpongeBob miserable by reading secrets, that aren't at all funny (dancing when he says a word -- if that makes you laugh you should get your brain gouged and replaced), then you'll probably hate this episode. I wish let us give 0s as ratings, that would be amazing.

SpongeBob seems to have 0 IQ now. He had like 20 IQ before, but now he has none. He gives Squidward his second diary for who knows why, like he can't get that Squidward hates SpongeBob, now he trusts him with his eternal secrets which makes him even sadder. The resolution also was disappointing. Squidward gave zero ***s about that he was being pelted by disgusting things like tomatoes. He had no guilt, he was reading and it made me hate the characters even more.

The writers definitely proved that they can shape characters awfully, but now it just doubled my hatred, for the NEW Squidward.

This episode reminds me of why I hate Patrick, the citizens, and (sometimes) Squidward

I didn't like this episode at all. It was too bland and I also hated how Squidward read Spongebob's diary behind his back and got the citizens and Patrick to laugh at him. The citizens are also hypocrites because they turned against Squidward after they saw Spongebob cry after laughing at Spongebob. It was satisfying to see Squidward get his just desserts for what he did, but he didn't deserve to get his house taken away. Spongebob was a BIGGER idiot for showing his REAL diary to Squidward and then Squidward reads his diary AGAIN! Didn't he learn his lesson? Squidward is sometimes sympathetic, but this episode? Umm no. I give this episode a 6.5/10.moreless

Ugh..... Squidward, why?

After hearing from others that this episode is one of the worst episodes of SpongeBob yet, I had to see it. While I do think it is a bad episode, it's not one of the worst episodes of SpongeBob I seen; that honor goes to Squid Wood. However, I do agree that this a very poor episode with very few redeemable ideas found in it. In this episode, SpongeBob is seen writing in his diary, where Squidward catches a glimpse of. He finally takes it, and starts reading it to everyone. SpongeBob eventually finds out, however. The plot was kind of bland, and it didn't have much to do with it. The beginning was OK, starting off with the usual routine of SpongeBob and Squidward; however, it seemed more like a filler. Then things start to go downhill when Squidwards gets hold of SpongeBob's diary. The first entry that SpongeBob wrote was pretty funny, but then Squidward's views come along. Squidward starts making a fool out of SpongeBob in front of everyone, by doing things that cause SpongeBob to perform ridiculous. To be honest with you, they weren't funny at all. It was just SpongeBob looking like a moron. The joke with the spatulas was funny, though. And then things really take a turn for the worst. SpongeBob finds out that Squidward read his diary while doing a ridiculous dance, and runs off crying in humiliation. Then the same citizens that were laughing with Squidward shun him after they realize he read SpongeBob's diary, which doesn't make sense, consider the fact that another fish wanted to know more about the diary Squidward was reading; he even said it was terrible move on Squidward's part. But guess what the best part is? After Squidward makes SpongeBob cry, he LAUGHS about it! Yes, I said it. He laughs about ruining Spongebob's day. How sick and twisted on Squidward's part. Yes, I get that Squidward hates SpongeBob, but to not even show a single feeling of guilt towards his actions.... it's inexcusable. What about all those other times Squidward showed remorse for SpongeBob, such as in "Christmas Who?" and "Pizza Delivery"? Nope, none here. Again, inexcusable. Eventually, after being a complete douchebag and continuing to show no remorse for SpongeBob whatsoever, Squidward gets what he deserves and loses everything, including his house and image, which is a part rushed. Because for nearly the entire episode, they just show SpongeBob's secrets and how much of jacka** Squidward was being towards SongeBob, even after being treated like crap from the townspeople. After being locked up and getting bombarded with tomatoes, he asks for forgiveness from SpongeBob, who which, for some reason, forgives instantly. SpongeBob reveals that the diary Squidward read was his work diary and became a bestseller novel, which is what SpongeBob should get after being treated like baloney. SpongeBob then reveals he has a secret personal diary, and the customers are about to chuck tomatoes at Squidward again until SpongeBob attempts to protect Squidward. But (you should've guessed it by now), Squidward takes his personal diary and SpongeBob runs off, crying again. This episode was just poorly made. Not only was Squidward completely out of character, but the plot was bland and rushed, and they're weren't very many jokes, aside from the scenes in which Patrick was in. This was without a doubt one of the meanest episodes of SpongeBob yet, and one of the worst episodes of Season 9 so far.

FINAL SCORE: 4/10 Poormoreless

I know you'll hate me for this but I thought this episode was pretty good... but why?

Well I'll tell you the episode in a nutshell. Squidward finds spongebobs diary and starts to tell his entrees to everyone at the Krusty Krab, and Spongebob is devastated. On the surface, it would seem to be a pretty bad episode, but I see it from a different perspective. To me it almost felt like an older episode. Squidward does a mean thing and ends up punished for his bad deeds. Also the townspeople (and the people at the Krusty Krab who read the secerts originally not knowing it was Spongebobs) defend Spongebobs side. A good amount of the jokes in the episode worked and although Squidward had no remorse for what he did (and after read Spongebobs second diary), he still got what he deserved, even if he didn't take it into account. It's funny to think of how many episodes prior to this Squidward would often get bad karma from doing nothing wrong (like in "Squid Baby" for example) and then the writers make an episode that has Squidward being rightfully punished for his misdeed and he doesn't even care. Maybe I had checked my brain at the door when I watched this epiosde or maybe I'm just plain stupid to everyone else, but honestly, I thought it was a good episode.moreless
