"Selling Out", these episodes were from Season 4, but I could have sworn I saw every episode from that time. Anyway, this episode features Mr. Krabs selling the Krusty Krab only to find out he's bored with retirement. As a post movie episode released before Stephen Hillenberg came back, this wasn't bad. It did portray Mr. Krabs as kind of sympathetic. At least he wanted to give people quality food. Okay, it's kind of negated at the end, but not bad. ***
"Funny Pants", Squidward gets annoyed at SpongeBob laughing and tells him if he laughs too much, he'll hurt his laugh box. There is in fact one scene where it looks like he has hurt part of his body and it does kind of make sense at the end. Also, the ending, while not the best for Squidward is kind of heartwarming when you think about it. This was before the characters were really flanderized. Flanderization means a certain character's trait is exaggerated and after awhile, the SpongeBob characters started to be jerks, but recently they got better. ***
