10 Best SpongeBob SquarepPants Episodes
7. Naughty Nautical Neighbors (Season 1, Episode 4a)
Don't you just hate it when you trick two best friends into hating each other, but then you almost die and one of them saves your life, and the other fixes an injury later on, now they're competing to be your best friend and you have to figure out how to get them back together so they'll leave you alone? That probably never happened to you, but it sure did happen to Squidward.
Seeing SpongeBob and Patrick go from best friends to rivals for Squidward's friendship is a recipe for some of the funniest shenanigans we've seen these two get into. And that's why one of SpongeBob's earliest episodes still holds up as one of its funniest and best.
Best Moment: Patrick is ecstatic to hear Squidward play the clarinet in E minor, only to fall asleep immediately once he starts playing.
