I'm surprised "Plankton's Pet" wasn't on the list, it's actually one of my favorite episodes (not just Modern Episodes). It actually does something different with Plankton as he gets a pet and interacts with Spot. It's a pretty cute episode with Plankton that doesn't involve the formula.
While not in my top 10, Plankton’s Pet was not only a sign of the show getting back on track, but it really gives a more positive side to Plankton. As a guy who loves his animals, episodes like these just give me the warm fuzzies
One of my favorites is New Leaf. Plankton finds a passion other than food and Mr Krabs doesn't believe it, but Plankton is so upset even when Mr Krabs literally tries handing him the formula that Krabs backs off and they become friends And then of course it was all a ruse which was stupid but still. If only Plankton DID reform, then he could be the "science character" instead of Sandy! I also like the Kelp Shake episode where Plankton and Mr Krabs team up to figure out what the deal is with the new Kelp Shake restaurants.
I think it would've been great if this episode came after Planktons Army so it would look like Plankton gave up after he discovered the formula was Plankton. At some point in the episode plankton can be told that the secret formula isn't really plankton and then the switcheroo at the end would make more sense
@@phantomstrider Oh I had meant it could allow for more things with Sandy, like a return of karate episodes. I know you've talked about how she's primarily become a science character and you didn't like it. But we could also have them collaborate again! That was really fun
Okay I laughed pretty good at the bit of Karen just ordering a crabby patty. I'd love to see Plankton's restaurant actually get some customers so we could see him happy. They could still do the restaurant feud but with him and Crabs trying to one up each other or messing with the other's supply.
I wish characters like Plankton Larry and Ms Puff would get more epsiodes dedicated to them. They have been in the series for years and we still haven't gotten a lot of episodes for them.
I agree. And for mrs.puff, have something good happen to her. In the older seasons, she doesn't get mistreated like she does now. It's not as bad as the treatment Squidward gets.
No one choses their own name unless you change it. There are kids and even adults named Karen who are nice. I am not defending the insults target (racist entitled people) but people are getting bullied and killing themselves because of this “meme” It would hurt for me if someone said “the only good person named (my name) is from (a ficitonal show)” because it is basically an insult to people who are innocent. Im not trying to argue, but inform
most “karens” arent even named karen why do people bring up a random name and then insult the people with the name? its not fair and does more harm than good
I always liked the episodes where Plankton interacts with other characters. Like when he gets Squidward to help him make chum edible and they do succeed for a time, it's nice to see them get to be happ,y or when he teams up with Sandy, they have a lot in common and they are shown playing chess in a later episode so they must get along to a point. The one where his grandma goes to the Krusty Krab is interesting, it shows where he gets the evil villain thing from, they must be close. I really want to see him interact with Pearl, which I think happens in a newer episode. Or Karen and Pearl, that would be fun.
Fun fact: A band made the music for the title cards “Plankton!” And “Walking small”. This band is called the surfdusters. Their music plays through “Plankton!”. Such as the scene where Spongebob meets plankton. That’s when the track “Haunted Surf” And their track “El Dementia” Technically plays 6 times (3 times on Tv, it replaces “Mavericks” on the DVD “First 100 episodes” and plays three more times).
In a way, Planktons motivation makes sence. Plankton wants what we all want, respect. He is looked down on (In more ways then one) by everyone, while his former best friend gets all the respect and money he could ever want. To add salt to the wound, it was TOGETHER they made the formula that made crabby patties. He just wants to be respected for once but is always foiled.
I kind of liked the one where Karen got a virus and Plankton and Spongebob worked together to help her, no attempt at the Krabby Patty, and showing how he does care for her without her being mad at him in the beginning.
I know I’m late, but here are the best 3: Plankton’s Pet: a charming, funny episode where Plankton and SpongeBob have a great dynamic. I think it should have made this list. The Algae’s Always Greener: a fantastic, hilarious episode that tells a great story about how sometimes your dream life can have consequences and that it’s sometimes better to stick with what you have. Honestly, the ending haunts me as Plankton realized that he doesn’t want the like Mr. Krabs has. F.U.N.: a fun episode where we see the good side of Plankton for a bit and the song is just amazing.
I agree that "The Algae is Always Greener" is a great Plankton episode, and I'd say that my favorite part of that episode in particular is Plankton's reaction to seeing Mr. Krabs naked, and the part that shows Spongebob managed to shoot a bra onto Krabs! Those two moments are incredibly funny to me.
What's really great about "Teacher's Pest" is that while Krabs and Plankton are doing the driving test and messing everything up, Spongebob is actually doing GREAT at driving. And that bit when his boat gently taps the other boats, it just resulted in a massive explosion... I just couldn't stop laughing! I definitely consider this to be one of the BEST Modern Spongebob episodes.
Karen 2.0 could've been actually pretty good. And I think it should've been the episode that replaced her old character model with the new one. Basically, Plankton is giving her an upgrade for their anniversary. But in order to complete it, he needs a few parts from her old model. So she gets scared, runs off, episode ensues, and eventually she gets into her new body. Then realizing what Plankton was doing the whole time. That'd be so much better
Fun Fact: "Plankton's Regular" and it's sister episode "Patty Caper" both have Krabs being despicable (The former you just mentioned had Krabs not let Plankton have 1 single customer and the ladder I just mentioned had Krabs frame SpongeBob for stealing his secret ingredient). It's like The Infamous Season 4 pairing ("Driven to Tears" and "Rule of Dumb"). Also both "The Inside Job" and "Someone's in the Kitchen With Sandy" are both sister episodes, both featuring Plankton trying (and failing) to steal the formula. Obviously The Inside Job is better whereas SITKWS was boring and downright cruel to wards Sandy. Very Interesting PhantomStrider, isn't it
Reasons why I love this guy: -He's nice -He's very honest about his opinions and doesn't force them onto others. -His videos usually are relatable to me, as one of the best episodes of Spongebob for me is 'Teacher's Pest'!
Here are a few more honourable mentions: The Other Patty, Best Frenemies, Goo Goo Gas, Krabs vs. Plankton, Fear of a Krabby Patty, Imitation Krabs, Plankton’s Pet, Welcome to the Chum Bucket, Enemy In-Law, New Leaf, Friend or Foe, and Krabs à la Mode. I really think these are also really strong Plankton episodes. 😊
I thought Karen’s Baby was a particularly good episode. I love his son Chip and they way it ends was just so hilarious. It was so nice to see Plankton grow and be both joyous and proud in the end.
I can think of three other good Plankton episodes, decent at least. The one where he falls in love with Mr. Krabs's mother, though he does backstab Karen, was another one where he was finding real happiness and was willing to give up the formula chase, until Krabs reveals that she knows it. Then there's the Chum Caverns episode, where his business is more about the caverns than the food. But another great one is Kelp Juice, where Plankton and Krabs actually team up when another business shows up next door.
dude, ive been suffering from wisdom teeth surgery and your spongebob videos are the only thing that's kept me entertained and happy. thank you so much for another video 💞💖
I had such a blast to the past with Inside Job because as a kid I used to watch Spongebob when seasons 6-8 were premiering and I remember this episode from long ago.
What a fun video. Mr. Strider, you surprised us all with this video. At first you said "probably not", and now - there you go, the video was made. What a nice surprise.
If it weren't for the ending, my favorite Plankton episode would have been when he opened the gift shop. That ending ruined it, though, when it turned out to be a convoluted scheme to get the krabby patty recipe. That and Krabs' overreacting and going out of his way to ruin Plankton's new life. We could have still had fun episodes without the food business rivalry.
Fun fact: Tom Kenny and Jill Talley can be seen in the video for the Smashing Pumpkins song "Tonight Tonight." They're the couple honeymooning on the moon.
I'm surprised since you said you liked Plankton having a hobby outside of the Krabby Patty, that you didn't at least mention Plankton's Pet, which is a very cute episode and shows how caring he really can be
Hey, Strider. Absolutely loved your tier list... glad to see someone appreciates Plankton's Character as much as I do! 😁👍 Edit: Wow. Thanks for the comments!
I feel like "Plankton's Pet" should've made the list because for once, Plankton has an episode where he tries to find something else that will make him happy like getting a pet, and it has a happy ending for him too. It's such a wholesome episode where Spongebob helps Plankton with something instead of stopping him stealing the Krabby Patty formula.
Of course Plankton's Army is in #1, I do actually laughed my ass off on when they Sheldon 'Plankton's first name' was heard and Karen keeps mocks him until he plugs her off.
@@SegaNintendoGuy64 one of the best SpongeBob jokes ever. Modern SpongeBob would never have those kinds of jokes anymore. And they wouldn't have best moments, like sweet victory from band geeks.
Come on, Patrick Star could be a perfect customer for Plankton, since Patrick seems to be the only Bikini Bottom resident that not only tolerates chum, but loves the taste as well.
Sponge out of water was probably my favourite moment of Plankton. His team dynamics with Spongebob was very wholesome and fun to watch ( he felt like the friend Spongebob deserves) , and the ending when he saved the day, defeated Burgerbeard and took the secret formula, yet decided to give it back to Krabs without any conflict wad really promising. It kinda felt like he finally moved on and it would've been great to see him continue on that path afterwards.
If I had to fix One Course Meal, how I'd do it may surprise you. Keep most of it but one: tone down the grossness and two: have more of Pearl herself in the episode, trying to help Plankton get over his fear of whales and try and stop Mr Krabs from stalking him. It could've been such a better episode if we got to see how Pearl reacted to all of it.
11:35 I once read a Spongebob comic that had a similar set up, Karen left Plankton and began working at the Krusty Krab, and she did such a good job that Mr Krabs pretty much fired Spongebob and Squidward. So Spongebob and Squidward teamed up with Plankton and they staged a scene where Squidward dressed up as a robot and tried to flirt with Plankton so Plankton could reject Squidward in an attempt to show his loyalty to Karen. However unlike this episode, Karen wasn't moved at all by the whole gesture and began shooting lasers at Plankton, and the comic ended there, kind of abruptly
I do agree, besides I just wanted to watch something doesn't make me mad or bored, like Grandma Secret Recipe and A Pal For Gary. ...god I hate those episode's.
Surprised you didn't talk about Plankton's Intern from Season 12 in this video, as it seems like the type of episode you'd really like. It feels like a personal apology for One Coarse Meal and Plankton and Pearl have such a good dynamic in the episode.
It's onnly right for Plankton to get his own set of amazing episodes. HE WENT TO COLLEGE. Also, another episode I think that deserves a special mention I feel is the episode where Karen and Plankton had a baby. That episode got very charming towards the end :3
Plankton’s Army was one heck of a episode I loved so much. Seeing him using is cousins to steal the formula is gold. I even love Karen laughing at his first name "Sheldon."
One of my favorite Plankton episodes is Chum Fricassee. It’s really cool to see Squidward and Plankton (probably my 2 favorite characters) team up against the Krusty Krab.
We need an episode where someone actually likes Chum. Like, genuinely enjoys eating it. I think that'd be nice. (Also, the fish would 100% be a creepy cannibal, considering chum is chopped up fish)
Thank you thank you thank you so much Josh. I've been wanting this forever ❤️ Keep being you. Keep being the fun, quirky, and kind man that you are! ♥️♥️♥️
Plankton's Regular: A shortcut to PhantomStrider's new video. Hm. That must be for me. *Ends up on the worst Plankton episodes list* This isn't the best Plankton episodes list.
According to the wiki krabs was born the 1930/40s making him nearly/over 80 years old and he andplankton grew up together making him around the same age, therefore the fact that his great grandma is still alive is astounding
Plankton's voice is one of my favorites to listen to from the show. It luckily doesn't get too much of a higher pitch in later seasons, og plankton's voice was villainous and low and then it would jump to the other characters who heard him all high pitched and squeaky. I love that realism
Honestly i love the episode where squidward kinda teams up with plankton and reveals that chum is actually delicious and plankton was just preparing it wrong.
I loved when boo asked for ice cream. So cute. Can we have a backstory of these two? Like maybe strider adopting boo. He seems to be boos parental figure.
IMO, Plankton’s Regular wasted a very interesting concept, and it’s sad that Nat was only pretending to like the Chum when Karen payed him and he had his stomach pumped twice. Plus, I just felt bad for poor Plankton. Not to mention, his wife was so callous and manipulative.
SpongeBob Season 7: Plankton disguises himself as Sandy to steal the formula. Plankton disguises himself as SpongeBob’s Gramma to steal the formula. Plankton disguises himself as Gary to steal the formula. Easy, Plankton! Sheesh! 😂😂😂
I'm guessing that in "Plankton's Regular", Mr. Krabs doesn't want Plankton to have any customers because of the following reason(s): When Krabs hears Plankton has an actual customer, he worries that this is just a small step from getting more customers until everyone in Bikini Bottom and literally the entire ocean comes to the Chum Bucket (Okay, maybe not the entire ocean), leaving Krabs permanently out of business. Other than that, I'm pretty sure Krabs knows what chum is made of (as proved in "The Hankering") and doesn't what every fish in town to be eating their own kind.
To be honest, I actually think that "Grandma's Secret Recipe" was incredibly funny, especially since it shows how Plankton reacts to all the different hobbies that elderly women enjoy.
I actually kinda liked Plankton's Regular. While I do agree with what you said, it was just one of those episodes were I simply didn't feel like changing the channel, like a lot of the "bad" episodes. It was just... comfortable to sit through, is all. There are a few "bad" episodes like this, like The Splinter, Slide Whistle Stooges, or To Love a Patty (yep, even the singing part).
Another great video phantomstrider keep up the good work. Also don’t forget about the episode special about the backstory of the rivalry of Krabs and plankton
Strider, I have to say something. You are one of the most charming, interesting, most well spoken people I’ve ever seen. Your jokes are spot on and you seem like you really like doin what you do! I’ve been a sub since like 2017 so I’m happy to see you still doing well.
I feel like the second SpongeBob movie should of been on this list because he shows that some times that the villain can be the hero by giving crabs the formula in the end other than taking it for him self and he generally feels bad for using Karen for the time machine and makes a good team with SpongeBob
