I really like the “Secret Box” episode. Simple, yet effective.

I once watched an episode in French, seeing as how I was traveling in France at the time. The French dubbed voices did a good job of duplicating the characters’ personalities. The episode I saw remains a favorite, although I don’t know the title.

It was Spongebob and Patrick can’t wait to get a new TV delivered, but it turns out what what they really want is the big cardboard carton so they can get in and pretend it’s a tank or a jet airplane or whatever. Squidward happily nabs the TV but is puzzled by the real aircraft and military noises coming from inside the box (and they are real recordings; that’s why it’s so funny). But every time he opens the box, he just sees Spongebob and Patrick sitting inside looking innocent.

We saw an episode in Germany.

I was translating verbatim – with inflections. No my German is not that good.

I had just seen that episode soooo many times in english. [Season 1 Episode or so, I want to say the Anchor Toss episode with the inflatable arms.]

> Lots of choice SpongeBobs. Once you start thinking of good ones it’s hard to stop. I’ll throw in “Wet Painters,” “Just One Bite” (which, unlike “Procrastination,” is still enjoyable and sensible in its censored version), “Club SpongeBob” (praise the Magic Conch), and anything with Mermaidman and/or Barnacleboy.

1.What episodes have been censored? Any chance on seeing the original?

2. **Club Spongebob** : Just me, or is that too close to Lord of the Flies?

“Just One Bite” removes a [brief scene](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu_50_K5JkI) with the Krusty Krab’s security system. It’s a funny scene, but the cartoon still plays well without it.

“Procrastination” loses a [good chunk of footage](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOxtSasFGgM)- presumably to remove a brief scene of a real-life car crashing, but edits out more than it should (in my opinion)- in between, a brief scene of SpongeBob looking out the window at his friends playing on this “super-sailorific day” as well as a brief scene of him doing calistenics are also removed. The edit is so abrupt, that one moment SpongeBob sitting at his desk despondent saying “This is harder than I thought,” the next he’s standing up for no apparent reason saying “I can feel those juices pumpin’ now!”

That’s my favorite! Aahhh…the paradise promised by Tentacle Acres–as much canned bread as a cephalopod could want.

Anyone know what that one’s called?

My 9-year-old informs me that it’s called “Squidville.”
