Return of the Stuffed Animals!

I finally got around to seeing No Nose Knows. I always come in right when it's going off, so I decided to park myself in front of the TV until it came on, no matter what was on. I can now tell you that My Life as a Teenage Robot is...odd.

So, how did the episode measure up? I have mixed feelings. The ending was a little gross, but not like, for example, the "toenail incident" on House Fancy. If you haven't seen it, be glad. Ooh, my feet hurt. Back to the episode, anyway.

So, Patrick has no nose. On the episode Something Smells (my personal favorite), it was shown he couldn't even smell, right? The premise is simple: Patrick wants to be able to smell like other people, so he gets plastic surgery to get a nose. This quickly poses a problem for his friends, as he goes out eliminating any bad smells, and is a jerk about it, too.

Honestly, this is the first time in a while that I have laughed out loud over a SpongeBob episode. It was an interesting twist to see Patrick of all people as a clean freak, since he had the motivation. The climax, as mentioned before, was kind of gross, but not like Plankton's Regular or anything. Still, it wasn't "good" gross, like The Appetizer.

The voice acting was also subpar. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the acting has gotten worse after season 4. Squidward and Patrick just didn't sound convincing, though.

In short: the episode was, overall, nothing special by my usual standards. However, it really did have it's funny parts, and the gag at the very end was funny. Nobody ever said every episode would be perfect, so just watch it already. :D

SPOILER ALERT!
The title makes no sense to anyone who hasn't seen the episode, I guess. There was one scene in which Patrick smelled something foul coming from SpongeBob's house, and heard SpongeBob grunting. My first thought: "He's sweating." I crossed my fingers and hoped he'd be working at his "gym" from the episodes Help Wanted and MuscleBob BuffPants.
Cut to SpongeBob at said gym, struggling to lift his "weights". He finally does succeed, only to drop them on top of himself. To add insult to injury, Patrick comes and tosses them away effortlessly. That one, due to being both funny and nostalgic, made me laugh SO HARD.

By the way, I'm going to start posting more.

My expectations were low...

...And I'm still disappointed.

SPOILER ALERT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

This wouldn't be half so bad if everyone I knew hadn't thought WhoBob WhatPants was a movie. The specials in general are pretty bad, and this one is no exception. The story was...

• SpongeBob annoys his friends, and they call him an idiot
• SpongeBob runs away and gets bonked on the head
• SpongeBob loses memory, and blows bubbles
• A gang threatens him for blowing bubbles. He drive them out
• He is appointed mayor
• His friends go find him. Krabs is bribing Squidward to get him back, so Squid takes him back
• SpongeBob gets hit on the head.

...And they all live cheesily ever after. There was a little humor, but not much. Some of the dialogue was pretty unconvincing, too. And, just to tick me off, after it was over, there came a commercial saying that I could see the whole thing tomorrow, talking about how it was SpongeBob's GREATEST ADVENTURE, and how I can see THE STUNNING CONCLUSION all over again!

"Stunning conclusion?!" He got bonked on the noggin for cryin' out loud! There was little pacing, and hardly anything interesting happened. It could've beena decent story if it was longer, but it was 22 minutes total, which is hardly enough.

It did have its good points, though; The opening was rewritten to say "WhoBob WhatPants" instead of "SpongeBob SquarePants", and there was one really funny part: Sandy pointed to a picture of SpongeBob saying, "It's SpongeBob!" Patrick runs up to the next person he sees, hugs her, and acts as though it's SpongeBob, saying he hasn't changed a bit.
Aaaaaand, it didn't have Patchy.

Overall, the story still seemed sloppy and rushed. Nothing happened after SpongeBob became mayor except that Squidward took him home and he got hit on the head. The end.

You're slippin', Nick...you're really slippin'.

THERE IS NO THIRD MOVIE

Ya'll're gonna kill me, I'm afraid. I looked it up on multiple websites, and they all said WhoBob WhatPants was a movie. It isn't. A few sites even said the running time was an hour and a half. That's what I get for using other fansites as my sources, I suppose.

I wondered why there wasn't as much hype as expected. But it's not a movie; pure and simple. It's an episode. I'm very embarrassed now, and I feel silly for trusting any of "sources". Excuse me while I go hide in the corner.

Thing is, I can't blame the sites I read it on, because they just repeated what they heard...like I did.

WhoBob WhatPants

FOUR DAYS

I just saw an ad referring to it as "WhoBob WhatPants". Since it's supposed to sound like SpongeBob SquarePants, I guess that makes sense.

I also noticed multiple commercials referring to it as a special, not a movie. The official website lists it under "Hot Shows" but not under "Movies". I know that WhoBob WhatPants is an hour and a half long, and all the specials are half an hour, but nobody ever said those were the specific, unwritten and unbroken rules, right?

But then, it's longer than Atlantis SquarePantis, which was only an hour long. It would be kind of silly to have an episode longer than your movie. I guess that's probably enough to count it as a movie....

5 days

I've really had little to post about lately. Except...IT'S FIVE DAYS 'TIL WHO BOB, WHAT PANTS?

Sorry the blog's been so boring lately. You can bet I'll be posting again after the movie airs
