This poll is dedicated to the memory of SPongeBob SquarePants' creator Stephen Hillenburg (1961-2018), who sadly passed away from ALS last October. Thank you, Stephen. You brought laughter and happiness into so many people's lives.
Before we begin, here's a few tidbits and trivia about the results:
[*]As was to be expected, Seasons 1-3 dominated, with only two episodes from Season 4 on even receiving votes.
[*]Despite their eligibility, no two-part episodes made the Top 20. Only "Christmas Who?" even received a single vote.
[*]In the Top 20, there were six episodes from Season 1, five from Season 2, and nine from Season 3.
[*]There ended up being four ties, including for #20. But I decided to leave them be as I had no convenient way to break them.
[*]I wanted to compare this poll to a critics' list, but couldn't find a thorough enough one. I had to settle for the Best Day Ever Poll from Nickelodeon in 2006. It's not that great (their #1, "Karate Island", didn't even place here), but it is perhaps the most prominent and readily available list we have.
[*]Only ONE episode made every ballot.
I received lists from seven voters:
[*]BleuPanda
[*]Cold Butterfly
[*]Dexter
[*]Nick
[*]Krurze
[*]Prosecutorgodot
[*]whuntva (myself)
