10 Best SpongeBob SquarepPants Episodes
6. Mermaid Man And Barnacle Boy III (Season 2, Episode 11a)
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, Nickelodeon's answer to Batman and Robin, are two of the show's standout side characters, with multiple episodes centered on them. Yet, ironically, the best Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy episode is one in which they hardly feature at all, but is instead centered on one of their greatest archenemies, Man-Ray!
When Patrick sets Man-Ray free (because he's an idiot, as usual), the villain is set to take over Bikini Bottom...except there's a tickle belt strapped to him that he can only be set free by if he becomes good...or at least, trick SpongeBob and Patrick into thinking he's good. So he must take "goodness" lessons from the two which, as you might expect, doesn't go so well for him. But it's good for us because it's hilarious!
Best Moment: The whole "it's not my wallet" exchange.
