No doubt in my mind, this is one of the most insulting episodes in the series.

Oh god do I hate this episode. I think I should get this out of the way first. If you're a real artist and you've found this review do not, I repeat do not watch this crap, or else you'll feel like your brain got lobotomized. If you have already watched this episode I pity you.

Oh Jesus where do I begin, I guess I'll just start off with the good things in the episode. Well I wouldn't call them good, but decent enough. SpongeBob is close to his original personality, and half the jokes in this episode are decent or tolerable. The bad: An insulting ending, a terrible episode for Patrick's retarded personality. I'm serious he's actions are beyond stupidity and aren't funny at all. It's another Squidward torture porn, and the citizens of bikini bottom act more stupid than the usually do nowadays. Oh goodie this is going to be a fun episode The episode- The episode starts off with Squidward being egoistical about his artwork of his face on an already famous piece a waiting to be judged by an annoying fish critic. Before he comes Squidward hears and sees SpongeBob and Patrick making crafts. Squidward and SpongeBob have an actually entertaining conversation, and the filler during it is actually short enough. During the talk SpongeBob reveals to Squidward that he's good at basket weaving. Patrick tries to basket weave with a hammer and yes it's mildly entertaining. His basket brakes and then starfish starts to feel sad that he's not as good of an artist, or crafts maker like Squidward, and SpongeBob. Seeing that he's sad SpongeBob wants to help him discover what type of art he can do. They start with putting googly eyes on a rock. So within the first three minutes we have a good set up, likable enough characters, and surprisingly okay comedy during SpongeBob's crappy era. But after that all it goes downhill extremely fast. I'm talking light speed here people. When the critic shows up Patrick is done making his rock, and I swear to god on this a four year old could do better. The critic decides to judge both Squidward's and SpongeBob's work and says they're lame. However when he sees Patrick's rock glued with I believe 16 or 17 eyes the critic is instantly in love with it. The critic decides to act like a d0ouchbag and takes away Squidward's beret and thinking that an artist of Patrick's caliber deserves it, and then he just leaves. Mistake #1 Patrick is not a real artist. There's a difference between making art and an artistic accident if you will call it. One was made with a purpose, and the other wasn't. Patrick's work is soon noticed by a by fish that looks like he's on drugs. He says he has a strong interest in artwork, and says he wants to see what Patrick has. Patrick makes another googly eyed rock, and the fish buys it for 50 D@LLORS! 50! I think I should mention this now, this episode's comedy has the potential to be great if not fantastic. I'm not trying to say that because this is SpongeBob the comedy will be Bull crap. Because of how they are portraying the comedy makes this Bull crap. People from all over are coming to buy his crap work, at some point he runs out of rocks and heads to the Krusty Krab for a lunch break. He annoys Squidward at work by taking forever to order a meal. Instead of a burger, he orders for artistic advice. Who knew a restaurant could sell that for 25 bucks. So the squid and Patrick go to a table, and SpongeBob serves Patrick a burger that he technically didn't order. Squidward tells him just to focus on his burger, and then he goes back to work. Apparently that inspired Patrick to create a googly eyed Krabby patty. Out of a ketchup bottle the critic fish from before returns and says that this is the next big thing. Now everybody in the restaurant wants on. Really!?! Near the end of the episode Patrick buys Krabby patties for 3 dollars, and put eyes on them to sell them for 50. Mr.Krabs gets angry saying that he's not getting any profit from it, even though he technically is. At the end Mr.Krabs is now illegally selling the patties to Patrick for 50 bucks, and forces Squidward to help Patrick put googly eyes on them. In the end Patrick says that one day Squidward could be as good as he is. Should I even continue this episode is bull. The plot is an insult to both artist and actual mentally retarded people. I know it's weird for me to nitpick something this short, but as an actual self-taught artist this episode ticked me off to the point of disgust. score 2.5/10
