Band Geeks is easily one of the best episodes of Spongebob. To many fans, it's the best of the show, and with great reason. There are a ton of fantastic jokes. Every character is in character. Squiward, who was written often as a karmic butt of jokes, had an entire episode dedicated to him wanting to triumph over his rival, Squilliam. Each character had a great role, from Plankton to Sandy to Patrick to Patrick. When it was doomed to fail, Squidward had every reason to feel hopeless, but did it anyway.

But there's one more ingredient that puts Band Geeks over the top (this user disabled embedding, so you must watch it on YT).

Sometimes we tend to use "payoff" a little liberally, but this is exactly what a payoff should be. The tired work to try to get the band to work, Squidward's despair, and ultimate surprise over how everything went even better than he and every single Spongebob fan thought.

Sometimes teams won't go the extra mile to create a memorable experience. Here, Spongebob's team at the time really dedicated themselves to creating a great episode and ending it as an amazing episode. And it's all thanks to such a bang that you'll remember it forever.

Here's the full song, BTW:
