It appears that a certain number of fans out there hate this episode because its "crappiness". Well, I hardly find anything wrong with this episode. It has no crappiness at all. It's an episode that actually makes sense for a change, and it's actually very thought out. In "Whale of a Birthday", Mr. Krabs wants to make sure that Pearl has a "coral" birthday party, so he uses Spongebob to buy Pearl a present using his credit card. In "Karate Island", Spongebob and Sandy go to Karate Island where Spongebob is hailed as "king of karate" but not without knowing that there's a scam behind it. I think one of the reasons some fans hate this episode is because it's not very humorous, but that's alright because most of the humor on this show is completely immature and childish. This is one of the very few episodes that strays from it and uses drama to actually make it good. I don't care what anybody says, I still say that this is one of the actually good episodes. And I'm glad it was voted #1. For those of you who can't stand the immature humor of this show, I highly recommend this one.
