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'.
