Mmm...they're both okay, I guess...

I'll be honest: when I read some reviews for "Slumber Party" blaming Pearl for what happened, I was surprised. Quite honestly, I'm on Pearl's side on this one. All she wanted was to have a simple slumber party with her friends. While some of Mr. Krabs' rules were reasonable (such as "No Boys"), him not giving Pearl any pizza money and relentlessly spying on her and her friends was not. That, and he completely dominated SpongeBob's house. If Krabs and SpongeBob had just left Pearl and her friends alone, there probably wouldn't have been any damage to Krabs' house. In my opinion, Krabs brought Pearl's anger down on himself.

"Grooming Gary" was a little better. It took Gary some time to get it through SpongeBob's thick head that he wanted NO part in the pet contest, and SpongeBob ultimately accepted Gary's decision, which was good. Overall, no real complaints with this episode.

"Slumber Party" was okay, though I do think Mr. Krabs was more at fault than Pearl was. "Grooming Gary" was an okay Gary episode.moreless

the slumber party: this was an amazing episode,there is finaly a pearl episode, which are the ones i love because there arnt really many pearl episodes, but this isnt the only reason why i like it. starts off when mr krabs is sleeping on the couch with food on him, lol tht was classic, then when he was forces by pearl to go up stairs hes putting a padlock on the frige. theres 2 funny parts in a couple of seconds, im not going to go through all the parts that i liked because i liked all of it. and it isnt one of those stupid endings like laughing or something it has a good ending with a beach party and mr krabs kept behind a rope guarded by a then spongebob asked if he wants root bear but that didnt help 1 bit.

grooming gary: this is eppy that was good but ruined the score. it was okay.... but unoriginal, gary was behaving odd and that speach over the microphone gary was saying, what is the point of that, you dont know what he is saying so why put it there and this is what i call a bad ending, funny i admit, but still stupid patrick one it because he acted like a pet. well if these episodes where seperate i would give the slumber party a 10 but grooming gary a 5. i think the slumber party was twice as good. still it was okay but not wat i expected.moreless

Once again,more bad Spongebob episodes

1.0

By Woahwoah312, Jul 27, 2011

At this time,the new Spongebob episodes are bad. However,these will be the worst out of all of them. And I will never get why people like these ones. First off,let's start with the Slumber Party:

Oh my god,this has got to be on of the worst episodes of Spongebob. It's about Pearl having a slumber party,and she wants Mr. Krabs out of the house. That's the first problem with the episode. Pearl herself. She was a complete selfish brat who had no right to kick her own dad out of the house. She's right up there with the people from My Super Sweet 16. After seeing a movie with thugs destroying everything,Mr Krabs fears that Pearl will do that exact same thing. So he sends Spongebob to spy on her. During his plans,those scenes gave me more reasons to hate Pearl. She dropped a piano on Spongebob,made him into pizza and even worse,made a girl cry that wasn't him. So Spongebob goes into the house,but ends up destorying the root beer cellar. So Pearl gets angry,and tells her dad that he owes her money. Umm,no he doesn't. You deserve to be grounded. So she throws a party with Mr Krabs' money. Now,this has got to be the worst episode of the new seasons. Pearl was a selfish brat who deserves to be grounded for a year. I just wanted to cook her into chowder. What happened to the old Pearl who was sweet and sucked at cheerleading. Mr Krabs didn't do anything to punish her. What a bad father he was. Overall,never watch this episode again.

0\10

Next,Grooming Gary

This was just as bad as The Slumber Party,but it gets even worse. So Spongebob enters Gary in a pet show,and tries to train him. So this is basically a recycled version of The Great Snail Race,another bad episode. He dresses Gary in a horrible fashion. So at the pet show,Gary gets mad,and declares a war. He looks disturbing in that scene,especially with arms sticking out of him. All of the snails act out of hand and were cruel. So at the end,Spongebob wins the whole thing,but it was only for Patrick as a pet. So this episode was disturbing to look at. Don't even watch it.

1\10

These episodes were just horrible. Never watch them again.moreless

The Slumber Party is my favorite episode of the season, but Grooming Gary is just okay.

9.0

I love the episode The Slumber Party so much! There were so many good parts! I laughed when Mr. krabs threatened Pearl and she's like, "what're you gonna do, take away my allowance?" and she throws the crackers and ketchup at him. Then, it was so funny when Mr. Krabs destroyed all of Spongebob's things to show Spongebob what he's afraid boys might do to his house, and then, while Spongebob's ruined things are shown, he says, "it must be horrible to invite someone into your house and have them treat your property with so little respect," or something like that. But wait, it gets even better! A female sponge with a valley girl accent shows up at Pearl's door and says she just moved there from, um, Faraway ville, and we are supposed to think it's Spongebob, but it isn't! It was also hilarious when she runs away crying and says, "I am so moving back to Faraway ville!" and then Spongebob sees her and says he doesn't know who she is, but she's uglyyyyyyyy! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

This episode is going to be hard for the writers to beat! Grooming Gary was okay, but not that good. The only part I liked was when Gary gets up and gives his speech, and somehow he gets hands! Other than that, the episode was just kind of silly. Ordinarly I would have given the overall show an eight, but The Slumber Party was so good I'm giving it extra credit. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!moreless
