Editorial Review:

Tales from the Deep includes all nine episodes from the VHS releases Bikini Bottom Bash and Deep Sea Sillies. In the double-episode that begins this compilation of the Nickelodeon animated underwater series, SpongeBob buys a party planning kit. The porous party giver annoys his guests by scheduling their every second, until he accidentally gets locked out and the real party begins. Meanwhile, above sea level in an unfunny live-action segment, Patchy the Pirate hosts a revelry, forcing a marionette band to walk the plank, among other obnoxious gags. Back under the sea in the second episode, SpongeBob takes his hall monitor duties too seriously, directing traffic and disrupting life in Bikini Bottom. Next, following a sand-sledding accident that requires 20 hours of surgery, the boy sponge is so traumatized that he becomes housebound until a gorilla goes ape on Patrick and Sandy. Finally, SpongeBob plans a huge Valentine's Day surprise for Patrick, but a band of chocolate-eating mollusks delays delivery, inciting the seastar to throw a dangerous tantrum.

Mostly Funny.......2006-06-11

"Contains all episodes from the VHS titles 'Bikini Bottom Bash' and 'Deep Sea Sillies'

Deep Sea Sillies was funny, but Bikini Bottom Bash wasn't so great. Why I gave this DVD 4-Stars instead of 5, is because of the order in which the episodes play. It doesn't make sense that Sandy is invited to Spongebob's party, when he hasn't meet her yet. What I mean is, Deep Sea Sillies (specifically "Tea at the Treedome") should have been first, then Bikini Bottom Bash.

Frankly, I find Patchy the Pirate, more annoying that bad episodes of Ren & Stimpy. But otherwise this DVD is a must buy.

I personally recommend SpongeBob SquarePants - Sponge Buddies/Nautical Nonsense. "Dying for Pie," and, "F.U.N.," are my personal favorite episodes.

the best spongebob dvd collection.......2006-02-20

i own 12 spongebob dvd collection discs. this is, by far, the best. the party episode is brilliant-i have almost memorized it. admittedly, patchy the pirate is really irritating, but even this episode has a funny song during the patchy part. this entire episode is worth one of the beginning drawings of spongebob in the style of r. crumb, the "keep on truckin'" pose(i think that's the artist and title). i highly recommend this dvd, whether you're a perennial fan or if you are considering buying spongebob for the first time. it is an excellent cartoon for both children and adults (i am 28).

SpongeBob is to Me as Krabby Patties are to Squidward (Eventually). .......2005-09-18

A little riddle for the riddle lovers.
What's the similarity between SpongeBob SquarePants Tales of the Deep and Krabby Patties when it comes to Squidward?
Give up?
Gotta have more! Gotta have more! Gotta have more! Gotta have more! Gotta have more! Gotta have more! Gotta have more! Gotta have more! Gotta have more etc etc.
Anyways.
(Note: Since I don't want people to get put off by any aspect of SpongeBob anymore, and since it's my birthday, I am now only putting down the best 2 episodes for you to watch, and the worst for you to avoid.)

BEST EPISODE: Born Again Krabs.
The Krusty Krab hasn't been popular for the past few weeks. And no, it's not the new place mats. It's the old patty that SpongeBob found under the grill and tried to trash. And you know how Mr Krabs is with trying to throw patties out, no matter how old they are. But he can't find a buyer for this! Not even when he samples the patty... and gets put away for food poisoning and clashes with the Flying Dutchman, who comes to take him to Davy Jones' Locker for being cheap. They strike a bargain; he returns to life a generous krab or else. He lives up to the deal as long as possible (he even initiates naps at work and [gasp shock horror] free refills!), but the last straw comes when he reaches total bankruptcy. Now comes the ultimate bargain. SpongeBob, his best fry cook? Or all the money the Dutchman has in his pocket? (No prizes for guessing which.) A totally funny closing episode, including one of Squidward's finest moments! (Though a little pushing might be in order.) - 11 outta 10.

SECOND BEST EPISODE: Just One Bite.
Krabby Patties; the most delicious thing in Bikini Bottom. But they're the reason Squidward hates his job. Radioactive sludgeballs, he reckons. So when SpongeBob finds out, he eventually has to stoop so low to take just one bite. And to be frank, words like horrible, putrid, poultry prepared, vile, unappetizing and disgusting don't begin to describe it. But yet, the fresh meaty tangy taste is refreshingly addictive. And it tastes better on a Kelp Bun with extra sea pickle... Soon Squid's caught up in a patty-lurving frenzy. How to cure this craving? How about a trip to the patty vault after hours? Honestly a fantastic ep, and the ending is hilarious. But those who act along to Squid, beware! Now where did I put my King-Size Ultra Krabby Supreme Double Batter Fried on a Stick? - 10 outta 10.

WORST EPISODE: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. The first of 5.
SpongeBob and Patrick have been fans from day 1. They even have their own adventures, thus they learn of the location of the real things in a harsh duel with Reflecto (Squidward). Apparently they're working undercover in a retirement home. By working undercover I mean retired. But according to SpongeBob, old people are great, full of wisdom and experience. And he'll get married, cross-dress and paint an invisible boat mobile to get the duo out of retirement. It's too bad he doesn't take no for an answer. Quite good for a superhero epic. - 8 outta 10.
