SpongeBob SquarePants/Awesome

• The end of the episode, "Band Geeks". You know what we're talking about. They rock out for Squidward after he gives up on the entire town. This ultimately ends with Squidward rocking out with them, and Squilliam getting a heart attack and being take away. That scene, combined with the usual hilarity, is why many fans consider this the best episode ever.
  • During a four-day marathon of Nicktoons programming held throughout Thanksgiving 2007 called the Nicktoons Superstuffed Weekend, a countdown was held of the top 100 Nicktoons moments of all time (as voted on by users of Nick.com). This was number one, as it should be.
  • Best of all, after that spoilered line, is the instant when both SpongeBob and Plankton join forces on the mic for that big "YEAH!". Frequent enemies working together for a common (good) cause? AWESOME.

Don't ever look back, on the world closing in
Be on the attack, with your wings on the wind
Oh, the games will begin
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory...

• In the movie, two rednecks bet that SpongeBob and Patrick couldn't last 10 seconds beyond the county line, which is in the middle of nowhere. All of a sudden, a thug comes up and takes their vehicle. How many seconds was that? 12.
  • Also, at the end, SpongeBob singing "I'm a Goofy Goober" and breaking everyone free from Plankton's control.
• The episode called, "No Weenies Allowed", which featured SpongeBob trying to get into a tough bar, and failing. At the end, SpongeBob pretends to get into a fight with Patrick, and the ensuing fight that follows is pretty awesome. The man is so impressed, he finally lets SpongeBob in.
• The SpongeBob Christmas special. Half of the episode was made up of awesome. Espcially the song and at the end, with Squidward being nice and giving away everything for the sake of making SpongeBob happy after he made him upset in the first place. Also could count as a Heartwarming moment.
• SpongeBob serving up all those patties at the end of the first episode. There must have been over a thousand or so!
• The fight scene in "Sand Castles in the Sand".
  • They just had enough badassery to create all of that with nothing but sand.
  • Indeed. The battle also ends in the most awesome way possible. After Patrick nukes Spongebobs castle, Spongebob kamikazes his fighter jet into the giant robot head Patrick was piloting! That is Crazy Awesome right there!
• Getting Pantera to lend their music to the Extreme Sports episode.
• SpongeBob killing an entire flock of scallops because they threatened to eat his beloved Krabby Patty. It's also a source of Nightmare Fuel, due to the rather family unfriendly way he massacres them. Call Dethroning Moment of Suck on it if you want, it's still awesome! And really cute too.
• Okay, so SpongeBob is weak enough to barely lift 2 stuffed animals, right? But in "Pets or Pests", when he is left with a litter of worms, he gets so protective of them that not only does he tackle Larry, one of the strongest sea creatures around, when Larry threatens to eat them, but when a speeding truck is about to run the worms over, he stops it by ripping open the grille to get into the hood, then removing the entire engine block! SpongeBob was pumped up with Pure Awesomeness right there.
• Then there's SpongeBob taking on a King Jellyfish when the incredible Jellyspotters couldn't.
  • Everybody loves pie!
    • (Gasp) Warp waarp waaaaaarp...
• You are truly forgetting the episode "Can You Spare A Dime" where, after years of Squidward's abuse he goes to Mister Krabs to get Squidward his job back and when Mr. Krabs doesn't SpongeBob takes 800 levels in pure badass and grabs Mr. Krabs, lifts him over his head and chokes the living hell out of him.

"LISTEN YOU CRUSTACEOUS CHEAPSKATE, SQUIDWARD'S BEEN LIVING AT MY HOUSE DRIVING ME CRAZY, AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA HIRE HIM BACK ALL BECAUSE OF A STUPID DIME?!
 *A giant stone wheel drops out of Mr. Krabs' back pocket*

• Squidward got one in "Pizza Delivery." After going through hell, SpongeBob finally got the pizza to the customer, who proceeds to bitch and scream about how they didn't bring him a drink (which he totally didn't order) and refuses to take the pizza. SpongeBob returns to Squidward in hysterical tears, and Squidward -- who, mind you, despises SpongeBob -- goes back to the customer...

Customer: Another one? Look, I told your little friend I ain't payin' for that!
Squidward: Well, this one's on the house! (slams pizza box in the customer's face, knocking him out)

• In the episode One Krabs' Trash, Mr. Krabs has to get back the #1 hat from a graveyard. This leads to him beating up an entire army of undead skeletons with one of the skeleton's (a swordfish) heads.
  • "LOOK AT ME! I'm Errol FIN!!!"
• In a more recent episode, Mr. Krabs discovers Gary has a "talent" for finding spare change, so he begins to take Gary around Bikini Bottom, stealing all the spare change he can find while keeping SpongeBob distracted by assining him multiple tasks at the Krusty Krab. Eventually, one of Mr. Krabs' victims bumps into SpongeBob on the street, indirectly claiming his change was stolen by Mr. Krabs. The writers could've easily made SpongeBob dismiss the whole thing, but instead, he goes full Papa Wolf, confronts Mr. Krabs at his next heist, and straight up stands up against his own boss for abusing Gary. Considering how he seldom does that, it was great seeing that SpongeBob was setting that Jerkass straight. Unfortunately, this glorious moment is cut short considering that during the whole confrontation, Gary was collecting an entire tidal wave of change, distracting Mr. Krabs and prompting SpongeBob and Gary to make a break for it. Mr. Krabs ended up in the hospital, and all the change he heisted was used to pay his health bills. Served him right.
  • Made even more awesome if you remember that Spongebob has been acting like a doormat to Mr. Krabs in the later seasons.
• For this troper, it was the entire SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. It was probably the best-written kids-show movie this troper's seen, with all of the right humor that made SpongeBob popular to begin with, a pretty gripping story involving Plankton finally getting his wish to rule the world, and it added in a lot of great character development for both SpongeBob and Patrick, who wind up growing up quite a bit in the film. And, to top it all off, the movie ends with a rather heartwarming moment for SpongeBob as he gets his well-deserved promotion and topping off the end of the series(for this troper AND the creators) with a good little pop song by Ween with a montage of SpongeBob enjoying his new position. Apparently, the creators have stated that even though they've continued making episodes, the movie is basically where the SpongeBob story ends.
• In Born Again Krabs when Mr. Krabs sold SpongeBob's soul for 62 cents, Squidward, who usually hates SpongeBob with a passion, called out Krabs on this:

Squidward: "Mr. Krabs, I can't believe I'm saying this, but how could you sell SpongeBob for 62 cents?"
Mr. Krabs: "You think I could have gotten more?"

Squidward: "He stuck up for you and you sold him out?" *Points at Krabs* "YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED AT YOURSELF!"

• For this troper, this scene in "The Abrasive Side". Even though SpongeBob is desperately trying to hold off his abrasive side, when he tries to apologize to Mr. Krabs after his abrasive side requests Krabs pay him overtime, this happens:

SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs! Mr. Krabs!
Mr. Krabs: (panicing) What do you want now, Mr. Pottymouth?!
SpongeBob: But Mr. Krabs, I never use immoderate language, like-(transforms into abrasive side) OVERTIME!
Mr. Krabs: (screams in terror)

• • Even though it was supposed to be serious and accidental, SpongeBob standing up to Mr. Krabs and striking such fear into him earns it this spot.
• Patrick in "The Great Patty Caper" manages to outrun the train not once, nor twice, not even thrice, but 4 TIMES, and managed to THROW A BOULDER IN FRONT OF THE TRAIN ON HIS LAST ATTEMPT!
• Pretty much, half of the stuff Sandy Cheeks does counts.
• What about in "Krusty Love", where after Mr. Krabs has Spongebob going to store for something and then get on him for spending his money, Spongebob snaps and actually swears (all we hear is gibberish and we see Mrs.Puff pull out a dictionary and blush at what he's saying, but it's still awesome).
• Jack Kahuna Laguna, as played by Johnny Depp is awesome incarnate. While staying perfectly calm throughout his appearence, it turns out he is the sacrifice required to get them back home. He survives!
  • Decidedly Your Mileage May Vary. This Troper found Jack (my, what a clever name) extremely dull. Was there ever any doubt that he was somehow going to survive? Come on, you don't hire freakin' Johnny Depp to kill him. It all reeks of sycophancy. Davy Jones, as played by Davy Jones in the same episode, is way more awesome, purely because he's, well, Davy Jones.
• Mr. Krabs gets one in "Mr. Krabs Takes A Vacation". While Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob tour the Ocean Mint, at one point, two robbers try to rob the money, and try to harm the other tourists. Mr. Krabs defends for them, and uses SpongeBob to lasso them out of the Mint and into a police boat. This shows Mr. Krabs can care about others, not just money. If you want a redeeming example from his mean actions in the past few seasons, this should do it.
• P.O.O.P. That's just all. P.O.O.P. People order our patties. Just...P.O.O.P. A funny acronym indeed.
