    I don't care about Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful but it's sister episode is one the worst things TV has to offer. So this episode starts out with Spongebob feeding Gary later he goes to work. While he's at work Gary spends most of his time watching westerns. Spongebob starts to get worried that Gary is home alone. So he decides to "buy" a pet (He doesn't really buy a pet he just steals one) Named puffy fluffy who hates Gary and wants to kill him. But does Spongebob care HELL no! Instead he blames it on Gary. Remember when Spongebob actually CARED for his pet. Now He's like "Gary? Screw him". Eventually puffy fluffy turns into a monster and starts eating through the fridge. Gary sees this and puffy fluffy attacks Gary. The next day Spongebob wakes up and sees that his house has been wrecked so he goes downstairs and sees the monster puffy fluffy attacking Gary but does think puffy fluffy is evil? No! He thinks puffy fluffy is Gary. So anyways puffy fluffy attacks Spongebob. But Gary saves the Spongebob form puffy fluffy and he never since again. But Spongebob is still mad at Gary. So he decides form now to take Gary wherever he goes. This episode is just cruel to Gary. Why does this episode even exist?

    The first episode I could care less about. But it's sister episode. Oh. My. God. A Pal for Gary is freaking horrendous. In fact, I'd consider it the worst SpongeBob episode out there. Gary is tortured for no reason, SpongeBob is completely oblivious and annoying, and Puffy Fluffy is one of the scariest things I've ever seen from this show. This episode is so sadistic to Gary, it makes you wonder if this episode was made by Satan! So overall, it is one of the worst episodes of ANY Nickelodeon show I've ever seen. So whenever you see A Pal for Gary on TV, Either change the channel, turn off your TV, or smash your TV. I don't understand how this episode got a 3.7 rating. It deserves a 1.0 but even that's pushing it!

    Come on guys, there are some things too enjoy about this episode , Fluffy's design, The animation, the fight scenes, gary saving the day. The first half is more dull than anything else. Sure spongebob is oblivious but thats part of his character, even though he is overly oblivious, and it's at the cost of gary's life, which does make this episode bad, but not bottom 10 bad. BTW, is spongebob any worse than he is in episodes like boating buddies or choir boys?, overall this episode gets a 4/10 for me, Keep bikini bottom beautiful is pretty Ok, squidward wins over squilliam, although that cop pisses me off, i give that episode a 6/10, pushing both the episodes with an average with a 5/10

    A Pal for Gary is just horrendous! It's about SpongeBob gets Gary a pet to play with him when SpongeBob's at work, but it's not a pet! It's a monster! It was even about to eat Gary and SpongeBob STILL blames Gary! That's what TV Tropes calls Ungrateful Bastard! Seriously, it was trying to eat Gary, then SpongeBob comes in and it almost eats SB, and Gary STILL saves him! But does SpongeBob care? NOOOO! Oh no! Like I said it's what TV Tropes calls Ungrateful Bastard! It's such a stupid and cruel episode and I'm GLAD it has 4/10 thanks to 49 other users! I wish it was 1.6 like Ratatoing! Yes it's as bad as Ratatoing! AND it's worse than Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale! Which says a lot because Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale is not only one of the most hated animated films of all time, but one of the most hated FILMS of all time! No one likes it and it has 1.9/10 from 80 IMDb users! As for the other episode Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful, it gets a 4.5 from me. It was almost a 6 or a 7 but I hated the part when Squidward was eating garbage and the part when the cop officer ate the gum that was stepped on! So I give that one a 4.5 but A Pal for Gary doesn't even get zero! It gets -97! Yes it's THAT bad. I wouldn't even be surprised if The Legend of the Titanic is better and it's rated 1.3! Same for Son of The Lion King and that's rated 1.1! And then about five days ago my friend OldNickolodeon34 send me a message at TV.com regrading some awful piece of crap show I've never heard of called Greeny Phatom, I read what I can only assume was his review of it here at IMDb since it's the only review, and I rated it 1 just based on what he said about it alone! And it went down from 2.8 to 2.5. Out of six votes, one of them was a 10 for that awful show! That's just more proof that some people on this site might rate ANYTHING a 10 no matter how bad it is! What is wrong with those morons! If you've read my other reviews you'll see I get really mad when people rate shows like Sanjay and Craig or Breadwinners 10! But then I see some people think shows like Liv and Maddie are just as bad, I even saw one user called Freezeflame718 rate Liv and Maddie AND Breadwinners with 1, really? I mean how can it POSSIBLY be as bad as Breadwinners? Unless it was like Sam & Cat which it's NOT! Yeah, you can probably tell my blood pressure is really high right now. OK, I think I've said enough but yeah my final score for this episode is 1/10 because I can't rate it separately and because A Pal for Gary was so horrendous that even if the other episode was 10/10 A Pal for Gary STILL gets -97 so that averages out to about a 1/10 at best.

    UPDATE ON September 5: Well said spyingdudetv! You totally read my mind! And so did just about everyone who reviewed this atrocity at TV.com! I wonder the exact same thing. Why does this episode even exist? It's seriously atrocious! Like I said it's down there with Breadwinners, Rabbids Invasion, and all the other crappy new Nick shows created since 2008.

    "Keep Bikini Bottom", this episode is mostly bland and forgettable. It features Squidward doing community service after littering too much. Some of the gags get used too often. At least we see Squilliam get his comeupannce at the end. It's just weird how no one cares about this because of the next episode. I'm glad Stephen Hillenberg came back. **1/2

    "A Pal For Gary", this is ranked as the worst episode of the whole series and it's easy to see why. SpongeBob gets a new pet to keep Gary company, but the pet turns out to be a sharp toothed monster. It sheds it skin revealing a giant fish monster with razor sharp teeth and tongues that have mouths and sharp teeth of their own! SpongeBob is too stupid to realize how obviously monstrous this thing is and instead blames GARY for not wanting to be its friend. It sickens me to see this horrible thing in a kid's cartoon and be amazed at how neglectful SpongeBob is. It's needlessly cruel and it's insane how adults would think shows like "Invader Zim" and "Courage The Cowardly Dog" are bad for children while allowing filth like this to air. *

    OK so for the pilot of my new series cartoon crimes I am reviewing a pal for Gary. OH MAN is this episode bad it starts with filler which goes on for 30 seconds of the episode So the plot which I use very loosely is about spongebob feeling that Gary will be lonely when he's at work even though he's had the snail for years and hasn't felt it before but oh well I'm I'm just being nitpickey so yeah so blah blah blah filler at work and random garbage that sets the awful plot into action then on the way home he sees a gypsy selling pets and buys one literally ignoring the shopkeeper and walking off without paying man I hate this episode so suddenly in a sweep of graceful animation the thing grows a thousand teeth and spongebob starts being an oblivious jerk and there's the problem it's nothing more then the sponge being a jerk to his favorite pet so after a lot of spongebob is a jerk moments then the creature evolves into the night and man is the animation disgusting later sponge bob crosses the line BY TELLING GARY TO PUT THE CREATURE FROM HECK DOWN EVEN THOUGH IT IS GLARINGLY OBVIOUS THAT GARY IS BEING EATEN then we get a kick in the Pants ending where SPONGEBOB CHEWS OUT GARY AND DEPRIVES HIM OF HIS TIME awful episode 0/10

    These two are definitely without a doubt the worst SpongeBob episodes ever. The first of these two to start with is Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful. The episode starts of with Squidward walking to work until he steps on a piece of gum and throws it aside and then a police officer gives him a penalty of being a litterbug and Squidward is forced to do community service and the worst part of that is every time Squidward litters again, he keeps getting extra work of community service. This is also the worst Squidward torture porn to watch here. Also his arch rival Squilliam Fancysome makes fun of him for being a litterbug. Well jokes on him, Squidward already did something successful for once and that was being the conductor for that marching band with the help of SpongeBob and that is still my most favorite episode of the show. The other SpongeBob episode that we come across to dislike is A Pal For Gary. In this episode SpongeBob gets another pet so it can be friends with Gary, but little did he know that the pet was actually a rampaging snail eating monster. The worst part about that is that SpongeBob doesn't notice it and almost lets Gary be eaten alive by being stupid and telling Gary that he's being a bad influence on the other pet/monster and then the monster tries to eat SpongeBob and then Gary saves him and the monster runs away and SpongeBob blames it on Gary for chasing it away. Hello! Earth to SpongeBob. That thing tried to freaking eat you for Christs sake. You should be thankful for Gary that he saved you instead of being a total jackass about it. SpongeBob is totally out of character in this episode and the writer of this should be ashamed of writing this atrocity. The writer must've felt pretty dumb after writing this anyway. The old writers of the earlier episodes did great, but most of these newer writers are stupid and should be fired. These two episodes are episodes that I'll never ever watch again. So I recommend to every other SpongeBob fan to skip these two. Worst SpongeBob episodes ever. Enough said.
