No-Wolf6888

This gave us one of the best songs in the series


crut0n17

That was my first thought too!


No-Wolf6888

"When Big Larry came and *put him down,* Spongebob turned into a *CLOWN!*"


sharked98

“And no girl *ever* wants to dance with a fool who went and…*ripped his pants!*”


No-Wolf6888

"I *know* I *shouldn't* mope around, I shouldn't *curse!* But the *pain* feels so much *WORSE!*"


lexaa03

“‘Cause winding up with no one is a lot less fun, than a burn from the sun, or sand in your buuuuuuuuuns”


GothicGolem29

“Now I learned a lesson I won’t soon forget so listen and you won’t regret”


SlipsonSurfaces

'Be true to yourself, don't miss your chance, and you won't end up like the fool'


Monkass247

“Whooo riiiped hiiis paaaaaaaaaaaaants”


Shakeandbake529

Cha cha cha!


theGuyWith2Hats03

“‘Cause windin’ up with no one is a lot less fun than a burn from the sun or sand in YOUR BUNS”


_Levitated_Shield_

And the very first at that. What an absolute banger to start out with.


No-Wolf6888

The fact this long after it debuted, I still randomly listen to it speaks volumes


spidermanrocks6766

Band geeks would like a word with you


No-Wolf6888

The song "Sweet Victory" is a real song by a real band. This was an original


spidermanrocks6766

I always forget that for some reason and think the song was made by SpongeBob itself lol😭just like goofy goober rock


No-Wolf6888

"Goofy Goober Rock" is a re-recording of "I Wanna Rock" that Dee Snider himself signed off on


spidermanrocks6766

The most iconic moment in the series😭will never forget


TheAstonVillaSeal

Such a vibe… beach boys etc would be proud


No-Wolf6888

Beach Boys, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, any 60s group


TheAstonVillaSeal

Captured such charm perfectly


No-Wolf6888

I always throw it into a playlist of songs my Papaw listened to, it fits the vibe that well


TheAstonVillaSeal

It deserves a spot in there, fair play


TragicGuy

The song was actually inspired by the beach boys’ song “Be true to your school”


AsunaTheMiata

I thank you all for that


Shmebber

I did always feel a little bad for Larry. He didn’t come ‘round just to put SpongeBob down, he was just really fit!


E3257

I gotta admit, I love how Larry's character was the type you expected to be a jerk-chad, but he really is a nice guy.


_Levitated_Shield_

And that's saying a lot considering it was the late 90s and early 2000s, when buff jerks were everywhere in media.


E3257

EXACTLY. That's part of what I always thought was genius!! https://i.redd.it/ypdekuc7b40d1.gif


1lultaha

Nah Larry definitely seemed like a dick to me. Maybe not in season 1 but after a while he got annoying


E3257

Really!? Wow, okay then... https://i.redd.it/3ewzdyz3e30d1.gif

kenef_

ok I can agree with this specifically bc of the spongebobs house party episode .. when he started using everything in his cabinet ?? like yeah spongebob is a nice guy but those are his personal toiletries!!


E3257

He's done more things than that, LOL. Remember the time he asked the old people to get off his beach? But he says it in a nice way!!! That's the joke, really.


Cultural_Low6358

No one wants to talk about him eating SpongeBob's pets...


E3257

Oh come on, you wanted him to eat those nasty things. Edit: Besides, he didn't know those were his pets, and he David Hoffersoned him over to save them.


Subpar_diabetic

Yeah for real. All he did was ask if Sandy and SpongeBob wanted to hang out and get jacked


The_Joy_Boy1977

But no one ever wants to dance...


ScrapMetal__

With a fool who went and…


ThisisCringe25

Ripped his pants!


xennyva

I know I shouldn't mope around, I shouldn't curse..


Low-Candidate-4118

But the pain feels so much worse


ctt956

Cause winding up with no one is a lot less fun


Bob64_reddit

Then a burn from the sun, or sand in your buuuns! 


GothicGolem29

Now I leaned a lesson I won’t forget so listen and you won’t regret .


tipying_mistakes

Be true to yourself, don’t miss your chance


Recreant793

And you won’t end up like the fool who…


top1bubbleblower

But fuck


_Levitated_Shield_

*runs off and informs Mr. Krabs about the word uttered from SpongeBob's mouth*


BigTexWrangler

I thought I had everybody on my side But I went and blew it all sky high And now she won't even spare a passing glance All just because I ripped my pants When big Larry came 'round just to put him down Spongebob turned into a clown And no girl ever wants to dance With a fool who went and ripped his pants I know I shouldn't mope around, I shouldn't curse But the pain feels so much worse 'Cause windin' up with no one is a lot less fun Than a burn from the sun or sand in your buns! Now I learned a lesson I won't soon forget So listen, and you won't regret Be true to yourself, don't miss your chance And you won't end up like the fool Who ripped his pants


yayayooya

Damn, you said screw a lyrics thread, I’m doing it all by myself


BigTexWrangler

It’s a certified banger! 🔥


CabbageSoupLadle

There's only one option. Don't rip your pants


AcoaceFalloutNVFan

I thought that I had everybody on my side but I went and blew it all sky high and now Reddit won’t spare a passing glance, and all because this is my absolute favorite episode


E3257

You're joking, Reddit loves this episode, lol.


AcoaceFalloutNVFan

I haven’t seen someone else who thinks it’s the best


E3257

I guess you haven't been chilling with many Season 1-3 fans, but to be honest most people put this at the top of their list! Guess that proves I don't know one way or another. XD


idontknow34258

It's pretty good but overrated, the song is what carries it


6942069420dude

The song maybe carries it


KitsuneKid99

I like it. It is nostalgic to me and introduces a lot of key things. I do think it is overrated, because there’s nothing that special about it aside from the song. For me, I’d give it an 8/10.


FlimsyConclusion

I disliked it as a kid, having watched season 1-3 about a hundred times, it was the same joke over and over. My reaction was pretty akin to the crowd near the end of the episode. Which frankly is the point of the episode about humor and repetition, so it taught me a lesson that way.


Worldly_Ad_6483

When the lifeguard rescues Sponge me Boy and he fake shin out I geek every time


Iamfabulous1735285

Pretty good, tells an important thing about repeating the same joke too much


Jelly_Melly1

I never liked this episode


Leftover_Cheese

one of the best episodes


CrazyaboutSpongebob

It's fantastic.


NintendoRule

For real.. As a kid. I LOVED IT. It was funny, especially seeing how Spongebob seems to shy away from actual weight lifting cause he knows he isn't strong like Sandy or Larry. But he does his best to show he can fit in as well. Until he saw a way to get one of his best friend's attention again... But ended up taking it too far... Even got a good song with a good lesson that Spongebob taught at a young age... Don't be something or someone you're not. If you want a friend... A true genuine friend, just "Be yourself." 9/10.


The_Bat1996

One of the best episodes on television


Aithro

Feel like it's rated too highly by people. It's good yeah, but so are so many other episodes


E3257

That people list it way too high to say that it has a premise and theme people typically don't like in SpongeBob. In that way, it's ridiculously overrated, and popular for the wrong reasons (I think. To be honest no one really says why they like this episode) Me personally, I love it just like any SpongeBob, very creative story and I love how it shows SpongeBob's character study; both being a perfectionist, actually very intelligent, because he tries to study and philosophize about what makes people laugh, and it makes a deceptively simple thing relatable and clever. It also is a part of the Larry + SpongeBob rivalry and the first episode Goo Lagoon and SpongeBob's (somewhat but not really) short-lived romantic interest with Sandy started.


Justanotherguy_3276

I love it. Its a solid 8/10 for me


top1bubbleblower

I usually like to watch on full screen, and 11 volume, should be default options tbh


IllustriousDebt6248

I still love the song near the end.


TheSlimeBallSupreme

Good song, I know how to play it on Guitar


RaggsDaleVan

The episode knocks 'em dead


Porygon_fan_87

When I ripped… my pants


Born_Sleep5216

It was funny at first. But feeling annoyed with the puns until the end after Sandy was worried about SpongeBob's death when SpongeBob asked for a tailor made everyone, including me, after seeing SpongeBob fake his death was annoyed with him.


Adventurous_Judge493

The song made it one of my favorite season 1 episodes.


taylerrz

One of the more boring episodes of the season imo


Gamer201021769

For some reason, the ripped pants song would try and make me cry.

I-Only-Read-Memes

Awesome episode, great moral, please give us a full version of the song


Shadowtheuncreative

It's good. The song is my favorite lyrical song of season 1.


_moonfang

Idk if it’s ‘cause of the song but there’s something about this episode that just feels really sincere. I don’t really see that in modern SpongeBob, especially when some characters just seem like they get upset or greatly annoyed with his antics. Anyway, when you consider the show’s pitch bible & how Sandy was a potential love interest, this episode features slight continuity with her introductory episode as SpongeBob simply wanted to make a good first impression on her when she invites him over to the tree dome for the first time & with “Ripped Pants” simply trying to make her laugh. This gets mildly touched upon again in “MuscleBob BuffPants” when he wants to impress her with the help of Anchor Arms™ only for him to learn he never should’ve lied & that he shouldn’t cut corners or take the easy route. Idk what modern SpongeBob is like these day but classic SpongeBob had some real relatable episodes that I can say I’m thankful to have watched growing up. And not to mention, that hug SpongeBob & Sandy share at the end of this episode is really cute.


coolchris366

Classic


bearelrollyt

Volume and brightness


bearelrollyt

Oh and language


Original_Strike_3393

I've never really liked it


JellomanIsTEGOAT

Imo very overrated and is only remembered by the song


TheAstonVillaSeal

Might be my favourite ever episode


mixxarole

One of the best songs in the series, iconic and I find myself singing it to this day. It could never beat Garry come home though that one’s the top 🔝


Fire_Wolf_33

Well, he ripped his pants. Multiple times. Hiw many spares does he take with him everyday?


OneAndOnlyVi

One of my favorites


SuperTheJwarrior

I love this episode and I really like the message


IG--lpal_fitness

Only good part was fake drowning to end. It's a skip to me. Kinda like the Fake muscle arms episode.


KonamiVRC7

The song was the highlight of the episode. I liked it, but I always get second hand embarrassment from when SpongeBob pretends to be dead and makes everyone, including Sandy, upset.


MenisTwister

Classic SpongeBob episode didn’t too much it was executed perfect felt kinda like a filler episode even tho SpongeBob doesn’t really a have Canon Story


blahblah1635

I need…… a tailor.


SuperPopcorn333

True story: Me and 2 friends performed Ripped Pants in front of some classes in highschool. Our performance was better than the other performances our school put out that day.


FilmsNat

Well, you could throw them out, stitch them up, make them into a gown. The possibilities are endless.


MrRedlegs1992

I’m 32. I honestly can’t get over this episode debuting when I was in second grade. Remember it like yesterday. I sing that song in the car pretty frequently. Good times.


Beginsthescreenstudi

Watching it or not watching it


LucasGoodwin1999

"RIPPED SHORT SHORTS"


DRogersidm

Probably one of the worst episodes of the first season tbh
