Pulling 102: How to Escape the Friendzone - Ripped Pants

Hey Everyone, It's been a couple weeks but I found some time to knock out an episode.  Honestly I needed some time to prepare for this episode because Ripped Pants is ICONIC and proves just how legendary SpongeBob as a character is.  So let's get it. RIPPED PANTS Right off the bat, the title sticks out.  Going into this episode, there must have been some parents who had their trigger finger ready to change the channel in case this episode went south.  And one could argue it was mildly inappropriate at times, but it was 1999; a simpler, less sensitive time, so a little sponge nudity wasn't something to worry about. That being said, the episode opens on a new location known as The Goo Lagoon, which is, according to the French Narrator, a "stinky mud puddle".  To the casual viewer, it looks like a normal beach...in the ocean....underwater...I don't even know what to say...who in the world thought of this?  What does underwater water feel like to them?
