I'm giving this episode a 5 star review because it doesn't stick to it's title. After Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy give impersonating costumes for SpongeBob and Patrick to wear, this would be the scene that they would go shuffleboarding. But no. After the bubble transition it shows what appears to be SpongeBob and Patrick walking, and them talking about how fun it was shuffleboarding, and how fun it is to say it and what not. Then after that, they were supposed to return the costumes back to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, but instead SpongeBob and Patrick decide to go turn people in for dumb reasons. And since the jail was so full, it had exploded, therefore having people (fish) fall to the ground. After that, SpongeBob and Patrick go back to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy to return the costumes. And the whole town comes after Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Why title the episode "Shuffleboarding" if it doesn't match the events of the episode? That's why I gave this episode a 5 star review.

Shuffleboarding-In this episode, SpongeBob and Patrick cause injury to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, just as they're about to have a guest appearance at a shuffle boarding contest, so they give SpongeBob and Patrick very bad costumes to fill in for them. Now, it's up to the mindless replacement dynamic duo to arrest perfectly innocently oblivious townspeople for no reason at all. They arrested kids for playing outside, a gullible jail warden for not finishing a Krabby Patty, an elderly lady for being too old (I never imagined SpongeBob doing that)and, finally, their hardest foe, Man Ray and his old lady friend who are just talking and getting their clothes clean at a laundromat. Really, that's exactly how this episode plays out. Three minutes in, Patrick is ready for the shuffle boarding contest, but SpongeBob tells him that they already won the contest. Patrick, just like the audience, has no recollection of this at all, but were both forced to say that it all happened when we see a trophy. Then, starts off an unoriginal and very clichéd story that gets no worse this time around. There aren't any good jokes in this episode at all. SpongeBob and Patrick were justified in being suspicious of Man-Ray, but they should have realized that he was legitimate when he was at a laundromat; well, the normal SpongeBob would have. Here, SpongeBob and Patrick are acting completely out of character. For example, as I mentioned before, SpongeBob arrests an old lady for being too old, but the normal SpongeBob has a deep respect for the elderly.Here's another thing, SpongeBob and Patrick are never punished for their misdoings, the real Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are! The episode ends with SpongeBob saying a very meaningless and poor joke. 0.5/10 Professor Squidward- In this Squidward torture episode, Squidward is at one of Squilliam's concerts for some reason when he's mistaken for the real Squilliam, which he points out that he's not, but takes it back when he hears that Squilliam gets to teach a music class. In Squidward's music class, are a couple of normal children...and,guess who, none other than SpongeBob and Patrick. Squidward tells them that he "legally" changed his name to "Squilliam," as an excuse. Then, we see a couple of cheesy gags from SpongeBob and Patrick. But here's the worst part, the climax: it's very offbeat and SpongeBob and Patrick find a very strange interest in using a metronome and they move in its exact movement while a newscrew is going to interview Squidward. Then, comes a very bad ending that proves once again that everyone in Bikini Bottom is a moron except for Squidward, but Squidward is a victim of everyone's idiocy. 1/10
