Band Geeks

Writers: CH Greenblatt, Aaron Springer, Merriwether Williams

Date: September 7, 2001

Synopsis: "Squidward tries to put together a band to impress Squilliam at the Bubble Bowl."

This is an episode I really love, but there's another reason I love it that most people don't know about. It does Squidward torture correctly. He lied to Squilliam saying he had a band, but he also wants to prove his worth. He's sympathetic, but he brought the consequences on himself. Plus, with a high stakes scenario at risk, you want to see him succeed. Everyone else is portrayed well. Their screw ups aren't annoying because they're over the top and don't overstay their welcome. There's a lot of fun gags with how everyone messes up playing their instruments. Of course, we have the ending. The song is awesome and the live action and animation mix well. It's a good episode.
