Squid Wood:
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Instead of having SpongeBob be an Idiot Houdini who goes so overboard with his act that it almost feels like he's intentionally trying to ruin the real Squidward's life, the whole Preferable Impersonator premise would have been both funnier and more poignant if they emphasized Squidward being a massive bore and condescending Jerkass who looks down on everyone, leading to the others preferring Mini Squidward purely because the real Squidward is so unlikable that they would literally take a hunk of wood over him, instead of just shunning and ridiculing Squidward because he's Squidward. It would also make Squidward trying to compete with Mini Squidward and fail (as well as the Downer Ending) a case of Laser-Guided Karma.
