Wigstruck
"Wig-suck" is a more appropriate title.
Season	4
Episode No.	74b
Main Reason for being ScumBob	SpongeBob acting stupid and oblivious The Bikini Bottommites are unlikable and hypocritical. This tries to make 2 plots and combine them but fails.

Wigstruck is a mid infamous episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. In this episode, SpongeBob finds an old powdered wig and starts wearing it.

Why It Wig-Sucks

1. This is an episode where SpongeBob is acting stupid and oblivious, as he can’t see that everyone is making fun of his new wig. Even when people bluntly tell him they're making fun of him, he completely ignore them.
2. Almost every character (except for Patrick, and Sandy) is unlikable in this episode
   • Mr. Krabs banned SpongeBob's wig from the restaurant which is so out-of-character for him, even if he did have a reason to.
   • The Bikini Bottomites are the worst in this episode. They constantly make fun of SpongeBob for wearing a wig that conveniently blew away in the wind and landed on his head. Then in the cinema, they chase him and start a riot all because his wig was blocking the movie screen.
3. The subplot with Ned and the Needlefish isn't any better. In the first scene, once Ned reveals his new wig to the members of the band, they start throwing it around until they throw it out of the window (which is how SpongeBob finds it). In their next scene, their manager fires them from the band just because Ned isn't wearing his wig and doesn’t have hair. That's stupid. Even worse, the members blame Ned for getting them fired even though they were the ones that threw his wig out of the bus in the first place. Furthermore, Ned even thinks it's his fault given the ashamed faces he makes when being blamed. Also not to mention A LOT OF FISH ARE BALD!
   • However, Ned didn't even realize it was their fault that they got the band fired since he didn't even point it out.
4. A couple gross out jokes are shown here in this episode like the infamously disgusting "hairy patty" close-up.
5. Nonsensically terrible ending: As SpongeBob sadly walks without his wig, he notices a lot of the Bikini Bottomites are suddenly wearing the same wigs. They explain to him that "they're cool now" which is so stupid, mean-spirited, and confusing because they made fun of SpongeBob's wig earlier, so why are they wearing the same wigs as him?
6. This episode is boring.

Redeeming Qualities

1. Patrick and Sandy are the only likable characters in this episode.
2. Mr. Krabs was right to dislike the wig because of the hair from it contaminating the food.
3. After SpongeBob throws his wig off a mountain, it flies to Ned, and his career is restored once again, giving him a good ending. It's just a shame that SpongeBob got a bad ending for no reason whatsoever.
4. Some funny moments, like:
   • "So I can't have a wig or a butt?"
     • "No, SpongeBob, it means until you get rid of that wig, get your butt outta here!"
   • "I told you that movie was terrible."
5. Ned and the Needlefish would later get a better episode, "Hello Bikini Bottom”.
