Ghoul Fools is a low semi-infamous episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. In this episode, SpongeBob and Patrick find a houseboat haunted by ghost pirates.
Why It's A Fool Instead Of A Ghoul[]
If you want to tell a story about ghosts, that's fine. But you should know how, because this is just a mess... For starters, it has almost no plot, and it's a 22 minute special. At least shorten it to 11 minutes! And the episode literally jumps from one thing to another, from Patrick not knowing where he is, to our heroes going to the Krusty Krab for some reason, to Mr. Krabs wanting to steal the doubloons from the ghost, and they just throw the Flying Dutchman into the mix followed by a random chase sequence, and at the end some random new version of the Krusty Krab in the void. If you don't have an interesting plot and you just throw random things into the 22 minute runtime, you won't keep our attention.
Not to mention that it's boring, a problem that MANY specials face in the later seasons.
