SpongeBob - "Prehibernation Week!" Review

Now, let's review my favorite second season episode, "Prehibernation Week!" For those who don't remember, this episode came on a while after The Fairly OddParents first premiered, and when the Fairly OddParents were airing new episodes around that time, Stephen Hillenburg and his crew had to take a break for a while after doing Shanghaied and Gary Takes a Bath. Luckily in May 2001, they went back to work with this episode. Now, let's begin the EXTREME!

The plot is that Sandy is preparing for hibernation, which is strange because in airing order, this came on after Survival of the Idiots, but that's another story. And with the hibernation only a week ahead, For the next seven days, SpongeBob and Sandy do a lot of stop that is EXTREME! Like sand-boarding, catapulting out of bed, EXTREME jacks, giant ear cleaners on the sea needle, a bike ride through the industrial park, and finally, finding the hay in the needle-stack! These thrill seekers are really EXTREME TO THE MAX! Until SpongeBob gets so exhausted and sick of all this that he decides to hide from Sandy in, where else? Under Patrick's rock.

I did feel bad for SpongeBob in this one because he's just SO forced into doing these things that are so EXTREME before Sandy could go into hibernation, however, just because SpongeBob was dragged into all of this, doesn't mean that Sandy was out of character. Because, if I didn't know any better, being a thrill seeker is just what she does in her spare time, let's just say she's a Adrenaline junkie, look it up, Wikipedia that. Or to be more precise, she's more of a novelty seeker who is so EXTREME! Even going so EXTREME as to turn Bikini Bottom upside down while looking for SpongeBob.

One thing I do have to question was that who was doing all the fry-cooking at the Krusty Krab while SpongeBob was stuck with Sandy, oh well, who cares, the customers' foods came out right. This episode is EXTREMELY funny, especially with the joke of fly fishing (cue rimshot), Squidward's dead-pan reactions are well timed as well, and I like Mr. Krabs calling out "MAN THE LIFE BOATS!" I have to give the writers for this episode, Aaron Springer, C.H. Greenblatt, and Merriwether Williams for going a different route with this episode into something SO exciting. Also, I would like to mention that this was the last episode Edgar Larrazabal served as the animation director for the show.

I wonder what he went on to do after this. Oh well, I guess we'll never know. Either way, this episode is pretty good........TO THE EXTREME!!
