YMMV / SpongeBob SquarePants S 1 E 18 "Texas" / "Walking Small"

Go To

Texas:

  • Crosses the Line Twice: Patrick being lassoed into the horizon while screaming? A scary indicator of how out for blood Sandy is. Him exploding into a mushroom cloud when he's out of sight? Gut-busting!
  • Demographically Inappropriate Humour: When SpongeBob says, "Patrick, your genius is showing!", Patrick immediately covers his crotch. In other words, Patrick misheard the word "genius" as... well, something a bit less kid-friendly.
  • Heartwarming Moments: Backwards as his understanding of Texan culture may be, SpongeBob clearly put a lot of effort into his goodbye party for Sandy. It's no small wonder that it all convinced Sandy not to leave Bikini Bottom.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "Hey, Patrick! What am I now?" "Uh, stupid?" "No, I'm Texas!" "What's the difference?"Explanation 
    • When Superstorm Sandy hit the east coast in 2012, various social networks were flooded with comments like, "Uh oh, looks like somebody insulted Texas!"
  • Squick: Two customers at the Krusty Krab during Sandy's song use a Krabby Patty to dry their tears and blow their nose, respectively.
  • Tear Jerker: Sandy's Texas song, both In-Universe and real life.

Walking Small:

  • Jerkass Woobie: The eel was definitely an asshole for snagging SpongeBob's ice cream, but it's hard to not feel just a little bad for him when Plankton gives him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech that's extremely malicious. This happens seconds after, from his perspective, SpongeBob forgave him for the offense.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • Steppin' on the BeachExplanation 
    • "You used me... FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT! That wasn't nice!"Explanation 
    • "It's too cute! I-It's disgusting!"Explanation
