Nickelodeon provided product to facilitate this review. All opinions stated are my own.
Both my boys still like to watch SpongeBob SquarePants, and honestly it is one of the few shows they actually agree on watching. While it has never been one of my favorites, I must admit that it holds their attention and makes them laugh at loud. One thing I do know, is that SpongeBob would not be so funny, if it wasn’t for his best pal Patrick. In celebration of “Best Friends Day”, Nickelodeon recently released SpongeBob & Friends: Patrick SquarePants
Here is a list of episodes, and their synopsis, which are included on this DVD:
Big Pink Loser– Patrick feels like he hasn’t accomplished anything with his life and he decides to take SpongeBob on as his role model.
The Secret Box– Patrick has a box and he won’t show SpongeBob what’s inside of it because it’s a secret. SpongeBob can’t believe Patrick would keep something from him and he pretends not to care what’s inside the box, but secretly it’s driving him crazy.
I’m With Stupid– When Patrick’s parents come over for a Starfish Day, Patrick gets upset that they still think he isn’t very smart.
New Student Starfish– It’s another day of boating school for SpongeBob, and this time, Patrick wants to come along too.
Dunces and Dragons– After a freak jousting accident at a Medieval Times restaurant, SpongeBob and Patrick are transported to a medieval version of Bikini Bottom. Thes two are mistaken for great knights, and soon they are entrusted with the quest of saving King Krabs’ daughter, Princess Pearl, from the clutches of the evil wizard Lord Plankton. To keep them company, the KIng sends along Squidward, the court jester.
Patrick SmartPants– During a day of jelly fishing, Patrick gets conked on the head and loses consciousness. When he awakes, the starfish is suddenly speaking in complete sentenced- and making sense! Patrick is now not only smart, but brilliant.
That’s No Lady- A misunderstanding over a vacation getaway advertisement causes Patrick to think he must “get out of town” of face dire consequences. SpongeBob can’t bear the thought of his best buddy moving away, so he decides to do what he can to hide Patrick’s identity from his “pursuers”.
Driven to Tears– SpongeBob has failed his driving test- again. Patrick is so outraged by the injustice of it all that he storms into the testing facility and takes the test to prove that it is an unfair test and impossible to pass. Unfortunately, Patrick’s plan backfires.
The Gift of Gum– It’s Best Friends Day and SpongeBob and Patrick trade Best Friend presents.
Karate Star– Patrick learns just enough Karate to wreak havoc in Bikini Bottom.
Big Sister Sam– Patrick’s big sister Samantha comes for a visit.
Squidward’s School for Grown Ups– When Patrick suddenly grows a very grown-up beard, he decides it’s time to act like a grown-up and perhaps Squidward is the perfect squid to help him.
The Googly Artiste– Patrick tries desperately to supply everyone in Bikini Bottom with his highly demanded “rocks-with-googly-eyes,” after an art critic deems him a true artiste.
Pet Sitter Pat– The night before the big school dance, Mr. Krabs asks SpongeBob to help Pearl get rid of a barnacle on her face.
When my boys saw this DVD, they both immediately said, “Yeah, SpongeBob! Can we watch it?” While they had seen almost all of these episodes, it did not deter them from watching the whole thing and laughing away. They liked all the episodes, but I think The Secret Box is one of their favorites, because they love to tell secrets!
