Fanon Discontinuity: None of the episodes in this trio receive positive reception from fans. "Rise and Shine" and "Waiting" are often labeled the worst of the Season 5 "shorts" due to both having their boring and frustrating elements. "Fungus Among Us" has unsettling imagery and the plot is played too seriously to be enjoyable.
Waiting:
Memetic Mutation: "I waited... so long... and you... broke it."ExplanationConsidered by fans to be the funniest line from the episode due to the sheer Tranquil Fury in SpongeBob's voice, it's often used in response to either a wait being All for Nothing or a project getting ruined towards the end.
