An episode I fancy

Warning: Spoilers
House Fancy:
Squidward gets ready to watch his favorite show House Fancy, but is distraught when he discovers his arch nemesis cousin Squilliam is on it. Desperate to prove himself, he claims he has the fancier house. But can he make that lie a reality in just 2 hours?
I thought this was a very enjoyable segment. Squilliam is always a fun rival, and his incessant bragging when he shows off his mansion is amusing. The 130-foot unibrow statue is also a wonderfully ridiculous item. SpongeBob also has a good role when he tries to help Squidward redecorate the house. I don't know why, but him just casually admitting he's been spying on him made me chuckle.
SpongeBob absorbing and accidentally painting the entire house with thick paint and vacuuming himself inside are good gags. I especially like the part where Patrick gives him back the brain he borrowed for the weekend through the vacuum cleaner. We also get one of the strangest jokes the show has ever done when Patrick uses the toilet and it in pain climbs up in Squidward's arms and dies. It's so crazy you gotta laugh.
Everything blows up due to SpongeBob's incompetence, but Squidward still wins when Nicholas Withers sees his "house" as a post-modern work of art. It pokes fun at pretentious modern art, but is also a satisfying ending since we rarely get to see Squid go out with victory.
All right, you all came here to hear about it: the toenail scene. While it's definitely gross and a pointless addition, it doesn't last long enough to ruin the whole thing. And SpongeBob's reason for continuing to move the couch was amusing. I think if they didn't go for grossout and just made it a regular pain gag it would've worked better.
Krabby Road:
Plankton escapes from prison and returns to his humble abode, but Karen doesn't want anything to do with him. He gets a bit nostalgic seeing an old guitar he used to play. Then SpongeBob comes walking singing about the task of making Krabby Patties. This gives him a devious idea...
SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward coming together to form a band (unaware of Plankton's devious master plan) was an entertaining story. The initial part with SpongeBob singing is a little too lengthy, but I laughed at him nearly chopping Plankton in half as he describes his work task.
The obliviousness from the band members over the name Plankton And The Patty Stealers is my favorite joke. Sometimes it's unbelievable how dumb SpongeBob and Patrick are. Plankton trying to read Sponge's mind through mind control so he can sing out the formula, but getting mundane nonsense such as feeding Gary and brushing his teeth made me chuckle too.
Squidward of course takes this more seriously than anyone, assuming the band's success will make him famous. He looks even more handsome buff than he did in The Two Faces Of Squidward. The designs of the other band members are cool too.
SpongeBob eventually catches onto the plan though and the police come to arrest Plankton. Not sure how they managed to arrive so early considering no one told them where he was or even called them, but I'll bite. What does disappoint me a bit however is that we never get to hear a full song before he gets caught. I don't expect Sweet Victory, but at least something would've been nice. Nevertheless, a very good segment.

Review for House Fancy (I have no memory of Krabby Road)
KalloFox347 December 2020
First off, let's get the elephant out of the room: THE TOENAIL SCENE DID NOT AFFECT THE EPISODE'S QUALITY IN ANY WAY. It was a scene that lasted ten seconds at most and had no importance to the plot. I personally found it pretty funny, all things considered.
But House Fancy is actually a pretty solid episode. I mean, Squidward actually managed to score a victory, which is rare for Seasons 6-8 of SpongeBob. Despite everything he went through, it was all made worthwhile.
And there were plenty of funny jokes like the golden toilet (hats off to the writers for making toilet humor actually work).

Two awesome episodes with 1 issue
j-7268321 February 2024
While both of these episodes are awesome the only issue I have is the toenail scene but after rewatching a few times its not that gross now just weird. Aside from that this is a great duo a awesome way to start with a mixed season honestly its awesome the visual coolnes of house fancy and the comedy of crabby road make this super awesome! I don't wanna make a spoiler of both of these episode but just go watch this duo you might not like the toenail scene but aside from that gross weird scene this is a awesome duo a absolute cool way to open up with season 6 probably the 2nd worst season hope you like it.
