Well I just rewatched Squid Baby for like the 70th time in my life. Guess what? Finalized opinion: IT’S ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. I don’t know how it took me this long to feel about it, but this episode actually irritated me.

I mean my God, not only is it Squidward torture which is already tiring, but it’s also harsh and abusive, and if he’s suppose to be an infant here, then that means this “child” is getting physically hurt and is played for laughs!

Not only that, but it’s highly annoying too. Squidward’s crying is just like SpongeBob’s when he’s overly upset. IT’S NAILS ON CHALKBOARD.

I’m not even gonna wait to reveal, here’s my new rating: Abysmal episode (0/100)

Is it worse than Little Yellow Book? I’m actually not sure. That episode is still bottom of the barrel for season 9, but the worst? That’s gonna be a debate for sure. But this is still some of the worst episodes the show has. And you know it’s bad when the diaper fettish implications aren’t the worst part.

I know this might be controversial but I liked the scene where he tortures not SpongeBob but Patrick as well from his crying! Ultimate payback on what Squidward has to deal with everyday.

I will say the “72 hours later” scene serves SpongeBob and Patrick right after how stupid they were being before they got him injured. And as a matter of fact, Mr. Krabs was ZERO help at all! The “My face! Also my leg but mostly my face!” was the only good thing. Everything else, bleuck! 1/100!

Even the screenshot of SpongeBob looking out the window proves how everyone felt after watching this.

It’s clear the writers had their barely disguised fetish at its ABSOLUTE WORST here. The only redeeming quality I can think of is that Squidward thankfully returns back to normal at the end of the episode. A Pal For Gary is the most universally hated SpongeBob episode, but this a REALLY close second. Overall, this episode should get Head-Go-Boom-Boom-itis itself.

Now, if I had to repair this episode, it would be a bit like "Mid Life Crustacean" and "Rock-A-Bye Bi-Valve", as Squidward wished to feel young. So he bought a drink called "The Fountain of Youth". But he drank it too much, making him an ACTUAL baby. So SpongeBob and Patrick would have to take care of him until they can find an antidote.

Honestly, the only people who needed to get a clue were the writers of this travesty.

It shouldn't have taken you that long to realize that if you watched it 70 times.

Yeah, fair. This episode really does make the show feel like it never improved since the end of season 7 and season 8, but it really has. Due to my biases of season 8 though, that season would never make an episode like this. Early season 7 and season 6 would though, but not season 8.

My advice: STOP watching bad SpongeBob episodes KEEP watching good SpongeBob episodes By doing this, you won’t have to experience trash.

Fun Fact: This is LS Mark’s worst episode of the entire show.

I still consider Little yellow book worse than Squid baby because not only Squidward was mean spirited but also the residents were hypocrites.

Ikr, I was like “Wow whenever SpongeBob and Patrick are gonna get a break?!” I just felt bad for Squidward as well since he was blamed by Mr.Krabs and the customers at the Krusty Krab, I know taking care of a little child or kid is hard work, but this was just the worst episode. 0/10 Terrible

Honestly, this is my least favorite in the entire show, MULTIPLE leagues below my 2nd least favorite Normally, I don't care whether Squidward deserves to get kicked to the curve or not. If they can find a way to make it entertaining, that's all i care about. The problem is that Squidward is a BABY here, meaning he CANNOT fight back, and he's thrown EVERYWHERE Also, the baby stuff is gross, I'm not gonna accuse the staff for fetishes or anything like that. If anything, I will always see it as a coincidence, but that doesn't mean i don't find it disgusting, i don't need close-ups of that, thanks The Rainy Atmosphere was neat, though. The show looks pretty cool when it's raining 9A is my least favorite season by a longshot. Due to there only being 20 Segments, episodes that are genuinely awful can really drag a season down, and this is one of them If you SOMEHOW like this episode, I genuinely have nothing but respect for you. As someone who adores this show to death, this is one of the few i cannot sit through

This episode and Little Yellow Book FRUSTRATE me because in concept? Squidward being a baby could’ve been a spiritual successor to when SpongeBob and Patrick raised the baby clam BUT NOPE! SpongeBob’s diary could’ve been used for something better than just “oh he’s being made fun of HAHA SO FUNNY” BUT NOPE! IT’S AWFUL!
