The Ballad of Filthy Muck is a high semi-infamous episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. In this episode, Patrick tries his grime to a new extreme, playing around in so much trash that he becomes unrecognizable.
Why It’s Smelly And Filthy[]
People consider this episode ScumBob because it is boring and a little gross. This episode can also be considered to have pretty childish humor, compared to other SpongeBob episodes at least. It is also not only a rehash of Something Smells, it also takes elements from the even more infamous The Thing.
Redeeming Qualities[]
- It's well animated and well made.
- When Old Man Jenkins says "I don't have a nose", it's really easy to get a good laugh.
- It's Bikini Bottomites torture done right.
Trivia[]
- YouTuber Ricky Berwick reacted negatively towards a scene of the episode where one of the characters confirms that the town is pet-friendly, and his partner gives him walkies.[1]
