Trenchbillies (SpongeBob SquarePants)
Redneck rampage, without the fun.
Series: SpongeBob SquarePants Part of Season: 7 Episode Number: 15a Air Date: January 29, 2011 Writer: Aaron Springer Richard Pursel Previous episode: The Main Drain Next episode: Sponge-Cano!

Trenchbillies is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season seven, and is the fifth episode of the Legends of Bikini Bottom special.

Summary

SpongeBob and Patrick are held prisoners by a backward gang.

Why It's ScumBob

1. It's another example of why Legends of Bikini Bottom was a bad rating trap.
2. The trenchbillies look hideous and are some of the worst-looking characters in an animated show.
3. The episode is full of redneck stereotypes, most of which are generic.
4. Bad ending: Mr. Krabs ends up being forced to marry Ma Angler.
5. Considering that the trenchbillies are in an isolated place, it would not be out of the realm to assume that they're committing incest.

Redeeming Qualities

1. The trenchbillies are somewhat funny depending on your view.
2. The dueling banjos were the highlight of the episode.
3. Despite what's mentioned in WISB#5, at least there's no evidence or insinuation by any of the characters.
4. SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs are all likeable in this episode.

Reception

• IMDB rated 5.4/10 on their site.
• The fan edition version of MoBrosStudios worst episodes ranked this as the 11th worst episode.
