Texas (SpongeBob SquarePants)

Texas is an episode from season 1 of SpongeBob SquarePants. It is named after the state in the U.S., and is Sandy Cheeks' home state.

Why This Episode About Texas Isn't Dumb

 * 1) It reveals that Sandy is from Texas, and that she misses her home.
 * 2) The song Sandy sings is sad and well written. The other music has got spunk as well.
 * 3) The jokes are quite clever, such as the ten gallon hat joke.
 * 4) It gives a valuable lesson about how home is not a place, it's where you are the most comfortable.
 * 5) The cel animation is good, like usual.
 * 6) The dialogue/quotes are very good, funny, and memorable.
 * 7) *"Hey, Patrick, what am I now?"
 * 8) *"Uh, stupid?"
 * 9) *"No, I'm Texas!"
 * 10) *"What's the difference??"
 * 11) *"Patrick! You're genius is showing!"
 * 12) *"Where!?"
 * 13) Sandy crying is really sad and gets you feeling for her even before the song.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Though SpongeBob's way of getting Sandy to stay worked, the insulting of Texas (though he didn't mean it) was mean, and it might be offensive to Texan viewers because of how often SpongeBob and Patrick calls Texas "stupid" or "dumb".
 * 2) Sandy gets overly aggressive towards Patrick and SpongeBob; she goes as far as to pulverize Patrick and lasso SpongeBob, which would cause rope burn.
 * 3) While hilarious at the same time, the scene where SpongeBob said "Patrick, your genius is showing" to which Patrick responds "Where?" might be an inappropriate innuendo, especially considering that "genius" and "penis" sound similar enough.

Trivia

 * The scene where SpongeBob is shaped like Texas and asks Patrick what he is became a popular Internet meme.
