Strange episode...

4.0

By PrettyinPink, May 08, 2013

This episode is a bit weird and doesn't really seem to have a point. Patrick and SpongeBob just act out of character in my opinion (SpongeBob thought Squidward was using the bathroom? SpongeBob putting on the rubber glove was also pushing the limit). There was no clever humor and it didn't have any laughs to speak of.

Squidward compose a symphony

8.5

By fsaenz0125, Jan 07, 2013

This episode was great but to me it isn't as superb as the Not Normal and Gone episode pair. At least it is praised very well here. I liked the story to the episode and it was great to see Squidward getting successful towards the end (he already did in House Fancy and Band Geeks) since he thought his music was terrible. My only con was the usual antics of SpongeBob and Patrick distracting Squidward (this is why I focus when no one's along) but it was surt of funny in some parts. Although it was funnier that Squidward actually compose the symphony based on what he heard earlier. The ending as said before was great. IMO, this episode was great but could have handled a little bit better for SpongeBob and Patrick. 8.5/10moreless

Great episode BUT not my favorite episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants"

8.5

By tigerdude22, Nov 12, 2011

I thought that this was a great episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants". It may not be my favorite episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants" but it was overall great in my opinion. I thought Squidward wanting to compose music for the Bikini Bottom Symphony Orchestra was very funny. It was very funny when Squidward dropped SpongeBob and Patrick out of his window and then Patrick broke his butt. The doctor scene in this episode was a little too gross for my taste but some of it was funny. It was funny when Squidward has rainbow on his head when he came up with a new idea to compose his music. I thought Squidward conducting his music at the Bikini Bottom Symphony Orchestra and he finds out that whatever he heard from SpongeBob and Patrick that he wrote on his music. The gag when SpongeBob was squishing the rubber duck was funny. It was funny when SpongeBob was tickling Patrick was funny. Patrick blowing the air like balloon around the concert and falls on Squidward was funny. The very ending was also funny when Squidward has a swelled head which was because of Patrick for inflating it. Overall, not my favorite episode and it kind of dragged in some parts BUT it was overall great and I believe everyone would enjoy this episode. 8.5/10moreless

This episode was very bad!

1.0

By NathanJR94, Jun 08, 2011

I dont like this episode at all. It should never have existed! You may not hate it, but I do. Squidward is having a typical day of practicing his clarinet, when he spots a billboard. It said something about a bikini bottom symphony orchestra. Squidward tries to write down his "masterpiece", but spongebob and patrick are making a racket when they are playing doctor because patrick broke his bottom. After hours of spongebob and patrick constantly annoying squidward, he finally finishes his song. At the concert, spongebob and patrick are still playing doctor. They ruin the concert for squidward, but the crowd loved it. At the end, squidwards head explodes. This episode is worse than whale of a birthday! At the end, when squidward`s head explodes, that was total squidward advantage. The writers have got to stop doing that! Message to writers: Dont ever make an episode like this ever again, and dont ever cause squidward advantage ever again. This episode should have never existed. Dont ever make an episode like this ever again! For the final time, dont ever cause squidward advantage ever again! When this episode comes on next, I am going to turn off the tv. Advice: Dont watch this episode. What a long review.moreless
