Tales from the Deep includes all nine episodes from the VHS releases Bikini Bottom Bash and Deep Sea Sillies. In the double-episode that begins this compilation of the Nickelodeon animated underwater series, SpongeBob buys a party planning kit. The porous party giver annoys his guests by scheduling their every second, until he accidentally gets locked out and the real party begins. Meanwhile, above sea level in an unfunny live-action segment, Patchy the Pirate hosts a revelry, forcing a marionette band to walk the plank, among other obnoxious gags. Back under the sea in the second episode, SpongeBob takes his hall monitor duties too seriously, directing traffic and disrupting life in Bikini Bottom. Next, following a sand-sledding accident that requires 20 hours of surgery, the boy sponge is so traumatized that he becomes housebound until a gorilla goes ape on Patrick and Sandy. Finally, SpongeBob plans a huge Valentine's Day surprise for Patrick, but a band of chocolate-eating mollusks delays delivery, inciting the seastar to throw a dangerous tantrum.

In an undersea version of "Green Eggs and Ham," the persistent boy sponge discovers Squidward has never tasted a krabby patty and hounds him until an addiction is born. The patties are featured again in the final episode when restaurant owner Krabs insists on trying to sell a spoiled sandwich. Since no one will bite, Krabs does, leading to a near-death experience. In between, the tenacious sponge and his seastar sidekick Patrick lure aging superheroes Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy (guest-voiced by Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway) out of retirement to vanquish a maniac. In the remaining two stories, the "little square dude" has fun with a gum wrapper and later nearly suffocates in the air-filled home of Sandy the squirrel. Best for ages 4-12, but nothing more objectionable than vomit humor for younger siblings. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Spongebob is Back!!!
I want to start off by saying that I've been a fan of Spongebob since the beginning, and no I don't fit into the age bracket of 4-12 years old like Amazon suggests. There is just something about this show that can keep anyone entertained. Even one of my college professors is hooked on this show because of his children! Well, with that in mind I will try to explain what episodes will be on this DVD release. I don't know the official titles because they haven't been released but I will explain the episodes that I am aware of.

The episode where Spongebob discovers that Squidward has never eaten let alone tasted a krabby patty. Spongebob hounds Squidward until he is addicted, and humor ensues from there.

In one episode, Spongebob and his faithful sidekick Patrick Star lure the retired superheros Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy out of the retirement home to fight "eeeeeevviill" characters off. Dirty Bubble makes an appearance in this episode.

In another episode, Spongebob has endless imaginary fun with a gum wrapper until Squidward becomes so annoyed that he gives everything he owns to Spongebob so he can play with the gum wrapper. This leads Squidward to find that it won't work for him, just Spongebob.

In the next episode, Spongebob visits Sandy's air-filled home only to find that he can't breathe once inside. Always remember "pinky up", which is the only advice Patrick has for Spongebob.

In another episode, Mr. Krabs insists on trying to sell a spoiled krabby patty. He insists that it is ok, but no will touch it so Krabs tries it for himself. This leads Mr Krabs to a near death experience, which is quite humorous.

In the next episode, Spongebob purchases a party planning kit. Spongebob annoys his guests by planning every minute of the party. Then he accidentally gets locked outside, but that's when the real party gets started inside.

In another episode, Spongebob is unwillingly appointed the task of hall monitor. Well, he takes his duties too seriously after he leaves school by disturbing life in Bikini Bottom. Needless to say, Mrs. Puff goes to jail again!

Next, Spongebob gets in a sand-sledding accident that requires extensive surgery. He is so upset by this that he refuses to leave his house for fear of getting hurt again. That is until a gorilla attacks Patrick and Sandy. Will it be Spongebob to the resque?

In another episode, Spongebob plans a very big Valentine's Day suprise for Patrick. Sandy is supposed to fly in the giant chocolate heart but chocolate-eating mollusks try to prevent Sandy from making the delivery. Meanwhile, Patrick terrorizes the Valentine's Day carnaval trying to guess what his present is. Nothing like a crazed seastar to make things interesting. Will it be Sandy to the rescue, or Patrick the crazed seastar destroying Bikini Bottom?

Remember, I am not sure of the order of these episodes but these are the ones that will appear on the DVD...I can't wait. I hope everyone is looking forward to this release as much as I am! I also heard that there is another Spongebob DVD set for a March release. If you are a fan or watching for the first time, get this DVD! It has to be the funniest cartoon that is out now and I know you won't be disappointed.

Hillarious Spongebob DVD
Here's a rundown of all the episodes.

House Party 5/5 The episode is really funny, but the Patchy the Pirate stuff gets really annoying.

Hall Monitor 4/5 Has a few funny jokes.

I Had an Accident 7/5 Wow. This one's really funny.

Valentine's Day 5/5 Pretty funny. Patrick gets really dumb in this one.

Just One Bite 5/5 Squidward tries a Krabby Patty for the first time. Hillarious.

Mermaidman and Barnacleboy 3/5 Ok, not great, but ok.

Tea at the Treedome 3/5 This one's on TV too much, and it's not the greatest.

The Paper 5/5 "Look at me, I'm a guy with a mustache!" Funny. Spongebob entertaines himself with a piece of paper.

Born Again Krabs 5/5 Funny. Mr. Krabs tries to eat a spoiled Krabby Patty to prove it's still good.

Total: 42/45

I'd say buy it. Definately buy it. Really funny DVD with some great episodes.
