** Earlier, Squidward begins taking advantage of Spongebob. But Spongebob isn't having that and a large part of the episode consists of Spongebob standing up to him. To me is the ''real spongebob''. Someone with a backbone and isn't stupid.

** Earlier, Squidward begins taking advantage of Spongebob. But Spongebob isn't having that and stands up to him, while trying to give less than settle hints that Squidward needs a job. To me is the ''real spongebob''. He's not stupid, he knows when someone's taking advantage.

** Earlier, seeing Spongebob have just about enough of Squidward's bullshit and trying to ''bash him over the head'' with the fact he wants Squidward to get a damn job and move out. To me this is the ''real'' Spongebob. He's not stupid, he knows when someone's taking advantage.

** Earlier, seeing Spongebob have just about of Squidward's bullshit, to me this is the ''real'' Spongebob. He's childish but he certainly isn't stupid. He knows when he's someone's taking advantage of him.

Examples from the first [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie two]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater movies]] have their [[Awesome/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie own]] [[Awesome/TheSpongebobMovieSpongeOutOfWater pages]].

!!Movie 1

* [[TheMovie The]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie movie]] in general, as it has all of the right humor that made [=SpongeBob=] popular to begin with, a pretty gripping story involving Plankton finally getting his wish to rule the world, and it added in a lot of great character development for both [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick, who wind up growing up quite a bit in the film.
* Squidward easily finds out about Plankton's plan. How he did it is unknown, but him finding out and calling Plankton out...that was kinda cool.
* Two rednecks bet that [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick couldn't last 10 seconds beyond the county line, which is in the middle of nowhere. All of a sudden, a thug comes up and takes their vehicle. How many seconds was that? [[spoiler:[[HilarityEnsues 12 seconds]]]].
* At the end, [=SpongeBob=] singing "[[ThePowerOfRock I'm a]] [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Goofy Goober]]" and breaking everyone free from [[spoiler:Plankton's]] control.
** He also [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu defeats]] [[PhysicalGod Neptune]] using ThePowerOfRock. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcsI6eD2CmQ It's especially obvious in the GBA game]] but is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt3z5WEhex0 in the movie as well]]
** And, to top it all off, the movie ends with a rather heartwarming moment for [=SpongeBob=] as he gets his well-deserved promotion and topping off the end of the series with a good little pop song by Music/{{Ween}} with a montage of [=SpongeBob=] enjoying his new position. Apparently, the creators have stated that even though they've continued making episodes, the movie is basically where the [=SpongeBob=] story ends.

* [=SpongeBob=] serving up all those patties at the end of the first episode, "Help Wanted". He '''earned''' his place as the Krusty Krab's fry cook.

* Squidward trying to get [=SpongeBob=] to cry in "A Day Without Tears", but amazingly, [=SpongeBob=] manages to resist every move and hold in his tears all the way until midnight, with plenty of [[MoodWhiplash Mood Whiplashes]] when he instantly snaps out.

* The end of "OppositeDay" must be mentioned. Squidward chasing [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick with a tractor, while laughing maniacally.

-->'''Squidward:''' Well, this one's on the house! ''([[LaserGuidedKarma slams pizza box in the customer's face, knocking him out]])''

* The stand-off at the end of "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS1E6MermaidmanandBarnacleboyPickles Pickles]]". After going into a funk for forgetting to put pickles in a Patty, [=SpongeBob=] loses his confidence. This leads to a HeroicBSOD sequence of him failing the order of simple tasks (from word order to cooking). After days of help, he eventually remembers the order, and we get the badass sequence. With [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqvq_B5WeH4 this]] music playing, we see the epic western-esque stand off between Bubble Bass and [=SpongeBob=]. The facial expressions, [=SpongeBob's=] cool, confident demeanor vs the roars of Bubble Bass, the tension, it was all worth it in the end as [=SpongeBob=] figures out that [[spoiler: Bubble Bass was hiding the pickles for both confrontations (along with, inexplicably, someone's car keys) under his tongue.]] He deserved all the cheers at the end.
** [=SpongeBob=] also gets a subtle one at the beginning of the episode. For not only managing to decipher the Double Triple Bossy Deluxe effortlessly but also actually ''managing to construct'' the damn thing!

* The [=SpongeBob=] Christmas special. Half of the episode was made up of awesome. Espcially the song and at the end, with Squidward being nice and giving away everything for the sake of making [=SpongeBob=] happy after he made him upset in the first place. Also could count as a Heartwarming moment.

** Almost as awesome are Mrs. Puff playing the guitar (complete with rock star movements during her solo), Plankton's keyboard solo as the band members part to reveal [=SpongeBob=] standing in a spotlight with a microphone, and a sunglasses-wearing Patrick on the drums. (And honourable mention goes to Sandy on bass, Mr. Krabs on keytar, Pearl on sax, and the various fish extras for the opening trumpet fanfare.)

* The jellyfish in the episode "Jellyfish Hunter" get one when they are freed and give Mr. Krabs his [[LaserGuidedKarma just deserts]].

* The climax of "Can You Spare A Dime" where, after ''months'' of Squidward's abuse, [=SpongeBob=] goes to Mister Krabs to get Squidward his job back and when Mr. Krabs doesn't [=SpongeBob=] ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes takes 800 levels in pure badass and grabs Mr. Krabs, lifts him over his head and chokes the living hell out of him.]]''

* In "Krusty Towers", Mr. Krabs gets the idea of running a hotel just so he could charge extra for a Krabby Patty. Squidward is put through hell and back by Patrick making many absurd requests of services after checking in, as "[We] shall never deny a guest even the most ridiculous request". Eventually Squidward turns this against Krabs by quitting, checking in as a regular customer, and making a variety of ridiculous requests himself at Krabs's expense.
* Plankton finally getting his dream to grow an extra hundred feet [[spoiler: or rather, centimetres, considering his scale]] to be able to crush his enemies in "Wishing You Well". One of the very few episodes to leave him on a happy note, merrily smashing large buildings to a pulp.
* In "Rule of Dumb", Patrick becomes king after it's discovered that he is of royal descent, then he proceeds to be an asshole by taking other peoples' things and do whatever he wants. Then, when he attempts to destroy Squidward's house in order to build a personal amusement park, wait for this...[[spoiler: '''SQUIDWARD,''' ''the biggest ButtMonkey in the show,'' is able to get the construction workers to stop messing with his house and convince them that Patrick is an imcompetent ruler, so he shouldn't be listen to!]] Then, when [=SpongeBob=] tries to get Squidward to comply by signing a treaty,[[spoiler: Squidward (non-fatally) puts it through [=SpongeBob=]'s forehead.]]

* Mr. Krabs gets one in "Mr. Krabs Takes A Vacation". While Mr. Krabs and [=SpongeBob=] tour the Ocean Mint, at one point, two robbers try to rob the money, and try to harm the other tourists. Mr. Krabs defends for them, and uses [=SpongeBob=] to lasso them out of the Mint and into a police boat. This shows Mr. Krabs can care about others, not just money. If you want a redeeming example from his mean actions in the past few seasons, this should do it.

** Admit it, Krabs immediately seeing though Plankton's baby desguise is awesome.

** In response to the outcry from the lack of "Sweet Victory" at the Superbowl, the full scene (albeit with changed colours some new live-action footage) was played at [[https://www.reddit.com/r/BikiniBottomTwitter/comments/amz9ej/its_no_superbowl_but_they_played_this_at_the/ a Dallas Stars hockey game]] the day after.

* Despite the SeasonalRot, {{Flanderization}} and [[BrokenBase the divided fanbase]] it went through, this show was still popular enough with the kids to win 15 Kids Choice Awards for Favorite Cartoon! As of now, it was only beaten once--by [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]].

[[LongRunner Considering that it’s Nickelodeon’s longest running show,]] it has spawned [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome many awesome moments throughout its lifespan.]]

* At the end of "Enchanted Tiki Dreams", [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick, even after ruining the paradise they created for him, still try to make Squidward relax by building him a swinging pirate ship and hurting themselves when it sways. If that's not [[ButtMonkey Squidward]] [[ThrowTheDogABone finally winning for a change]], then nothing is.
