The best episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants are visually hilarious and innovatively animated (“Wet Painters,” season three) While I could easily recommend dozens of episodes to the Sponge-curious, I’ve instead opted to highlight three that embody the main elements that make SpongeBob so great: the show’s visual gags, surreal sensibilities, and most importantly, its charming and lovable cast.

Viewers who grew up with the character have, over the past four years or so, isolated some of the show’s most memorable moments into some of Twitter and Tumblr and Facebook’s best (and weirdest) jokes. Part of that life is online, as SpongeBob has been woven into the fabric of the internet by way of a number of popular and transformative memes. Now he’s a very rich, very famous kid whose persona has essentially taken on a life of its own. The quirky yellow sponge - whose daily life includes working as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, hanging out with his friends, and occasionally fending off a killer, sentient doodle or building campfires underwater - is no longer just the bright-eyed kid he was when the show premiered on May 1, 1999. The character and his eponymous Nickelodeon cartoon have spent the past 20 years working their way into nearly every corner of popular culture, spawning a multimedia franchise that spans nearly 300 episodes and counting, two movies, several video games, endless tie-in merchandise, and even a well-received Broadway musical.
