    The Pink Purloiner: This episode was one of the best of season 4. I thought the story was good, and I laughed hard at many parts, such as the Confess-a-bear scene, the cutaway with Patrick breaking the carrot in half, Patrick doing nothing for eight hours, and Spongebob almost running out of his house without his pants. I also thought the ending was hilarious when it is revealed that Patrick comes close to leaving Bikini Botton a lot. My final grade for this episode is an A. The Gift of Gum was not as great, but it was still alright. I actually like it a little better now than I used to. It was pretty disgusting at times, but I guess that was the point. My biggest gripe about this episode was probably the storyline. There just wasn't that much to it, and the ending felt lazy and predictable. Also,the only part I remember really laughing at was when those people who had been stuck inside gummy for all those years escaped. Still, this wasn't that bad an episode, and I'll give it a C- for my final grade. Marebear2009, out!

    The Pink Purloiner:

    This episode was awesome! I loved it so much! It had lots of funny jokes. I loved the part where Patrick said that he dropped Spongebob's toothbrush in the toilet and put it back without washing it! LOL! I loved the Confessa-Bear! That was hilarious! I thought Patrick was being a jerk, but he had a funny part in this episode. I loved the plot for this episode. I mean Spongebob just leaves his net on the bus! LOL! The funniest part was when Spongebob watched Patrick stand for 8 hours straight! I have to say this is one of the greatest Season 4 episodes EVER!

    The Gift of Gum:

    Thsi episode was not funny, horrible and disgusting. There were no funny parts at all. I mean the whole plot of this episode is just Spongebob trying to get rid of this ball of gum. It was disgusting because Patrick ended up eating all of the gum and he blew a gigantic bubble that splattered all over Bikini Bottom. This has to be one of the worst season 4 episodes next to dunces and dragons and The Best Day Ever. Just horrible!

    The Pink Purloiner: A++++(100%)
    The Gift of Gum: F------------(-1,000,000,000,000%)

    Overall, these episodes get an...F----(42%)!moreless

  • The gift of gum was okay, but I hated the pink purloiner.

    The pink purloiner: I dont get why you guys like this episode. This was completely stupid. I did not laugh once! Not even when patrick admitted that he knocked spongebob`s toothrush into the toilet, and that he put it back on the counter without washing it. That was spongebob advantage. Bad episode. Final grade: F

    The gift of gum:
    It was okay. Not the best episode ever, but okay. I thought it was kind of gross too. It wasnt that bad. Just not that good either. I did not vomit like you guys probably did. Final grade: C-

    Final grade: D. Not very good. could have been a lot better.moreless

  • I loved both of the episodes

    The Pink Purloiner: First of all, I thought the title of this episode was a good reference from "The Pink Panther". Second of all, I really enjoyed this episode and it's one of my favorite SpongeBob episodes. I thought SpongeBob losing his jellyfish net was a good idea and it was funny how he thought that Patrick has his net. I kind of didn't like SpongeBob because he accused his own best friend Patrick that he stole the net and trust always comes first. It was also hilarious when SpongeBob used a teddy bear that had a microphone to hear what Patrick says and then Patrick confesses that he dropped SpongeBob's toothbrush in the toilet and put it back on the counter without washing it and then SpongeBob gets grossed out and tries to get it out of this tongue... that was a hilarious scene. It was also funny how Patrick was doing nothing for 8 hours. It was also hilarious when SpongeBob dressed up as some business man and then he makes a fake $1,000,000,000 for Patrick's net. Patrick saying that he wouldn't trade in the net for $1,000,000,000 was very sweet because Patrick really is SpongeBob's true friend. It was very sweet when Patrick made a new net that says "SpongeBob" just for SpongeBob but Patrick is now upset because SpongeBob called Patrick a thief. It was nice how the two of them forgave each other and then the bus driver says that they do this all the time. Overall, a very cute and funny episode of SpongeBob. 10/10

    The Gift of Gum: I thought that this was another perfect episode of SpongeBob but it was kind of gross because it's Patrick's giant ball of gum that he gave to SpongeBob for Best Friend's Day. SpongeBob gave Patrick a robot that will serve Patrick anything and will do things with Patrick. SpongeBob trying to get rid of the giant gum and making excuses to Patrick was very funny. It was also funny when SpongeBob dressed up as a burglar to get rid of Patrick's gum but ends up falling inside it. It was hilarious when all those fishes were trapped inside Patrick's giant gum and then they're all free and then that one fish says "I'm free". It was also funny how Sandy tried to get rid of the gum but that didn't work also. Squidward ending up being stuck in the gum was also funny. The ending of the episode was hilarious when Patrick eats his sticky giant gum to get SpongeBob, Squidward, and Sandy out of the gum and then Patrick blows a giant gum bubble and it splatters all over Bikini Bottom and then Patrick says "This was the best Best Friend's Day ever"... haha funny stuff. Overall, another perfect episode of SpongeBob. 10/10moreless
