    Valentine's Day: This episode start off with SpongeBob giving everyone Valentines. He goes over to Sandy's house to ask if she has Patrick's big surprise ready. Later, SpongeBob takes Patrick to the fair to wait for the big surprise. While they are on top of the ferris wheel, SpongeBob gets a message from Sandy saying that the present might not make it, because Sandy and the present are being attacked by clams. Because SpongeBob feels sorry for his friend, he gives him his backup present, a friendly handshake, making Patrick all upset, as he thinks it's barely a present. Then he takes him to all sorts of rides. When Patrick gets angry from all of the citizens complimenting SpongeBob on his gifts, he goes crazy and starts being destructive until Sandy comes with his huge candy Valentine's Day present! The Paper: Squidward tosses away a useless gum wrapper, but SpongeBob is unhappy about it. He tells Squidward that the paper is a goldmine of recreation. Squidward finds it stupid at first, until he sees that SpongeBob can actually do anything with it! When SpongeBob wraps it up by playing a perfect piece of music, Squidward has finally had enough! He demands back the piece of paper by trading SpongeBob everything he owns. When Squidward tops it off by giving him his shirt, SpongeBob finally gives him the paper. That is, Squidward cannot use the paper like how SpongeBob can, so Patrick just takes it and throws it away. So now Squidward is standing in a circle of floor tiles with absolutely nothing.

    Valentine's Day: I love this episode, I love it when SpongeBob passed out hearts to everyone in the beginning and it made me smile because it was a cute and funny episode. I also liked when SpongeBob and Sandy were discussing the Valentine's Day surprise gift for Patrick. It was funny when Patrick thought SpongeBob was stuck inside a rock, when Patrick kept on falling off the cliff, and when Patrick was getting angry and destroying the Valentine's Day carnival and when the announcer said "Attention everyone, there's a chubby pink starfish on the loose". I thought the ending was very cute and I liked it when Patrick bit on the chocolate balloon and everywhere was chocolate and Patrick said "Oh SpongeBob, you didn't have to get me anything?". Overall, it was a perfect episode and one of my favorite SpongeBob episodes, it's too bad that they only air this episode once or twice a year. 10/10

    The Paper: This episode was also my favorite episode of SpongeBob but it's too bad that they only air it once or twice a year since this episode airs along with "Valentine's Day", I liked how SpongeBob was just being creative with a piece of paper and uses it as an instrument or a puppet or anything Spongebob used the paper with. I also thought that it was funny when Squidward traded in everything just for a piece of paper. Overall, it was a creative episode that was funny and just like "Valentine's Day", it was one of my favorite SpongeBob episodes. 10/10moreless

    SpongeBob makes a great toy out of a gum wrapper, much to Squidward's grave annoyance. This episode is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very boring and ugly!

    These are two of my favorites! Patrick is hilarious in Valentine's Day. Spongebob is his usual, sweet self. He wants to give Patrick the best Valentine's gift ever and his attempts are thwarted by a set of circumstances beyound his control. Patrick gets upset when he sees the gifts that Spongebob has given others...including a bike. To hold Patrick at bay, while waiting for Sandy to deliver the gift, SB offers Patrick a handshake in lieu of a gift. Patrick spends the rest of the episode getting angrier and angrier, holding up his hand, as if he can't believe it. Finally, his anger turns toward the unsuspecting crowd of Amusement goers and it looks like it's going to turn brutal. Sandy arrives just in time, though, and saves the day!!!
    The Paper episode goes down as one of my all time favorites, also! Spongebob finds a piece of bubblegum paper and has all kinds of fun with it. He fashions it into (MSU WON their game against TN!!! Onto the Final Four!!) oh sorry. This review was interrupted by a whole bunch of celebrating!!!!! Ok, so SB finds a piece of paper, makes all kinds of fun things out of it from a helicopter to something called 'oral'gami! It was creative genius on the part of the writers/artists and so much fun to watch. When squiddy sees all the fun Spongebob is having, he wants the paper. He finally convinces SB to hand it over, and his attempts to be creative fall flat. It's just a piece of chewing gum paper and he's traded Spongebob everything he owns to have his chance of fun. Poor Squiddy....even though we knew what would happen, we still feel bad for Squidward by the end of this episode. And to make his day even worse, Patrick comes by and sees the paper Squidward is holding, grabs it and wraps his gum in it! So the circle of gum life is complete as is our dose of entertainment!
