Plot
SpongeBob and Squidward star in Mrs. Puff's educational driving film.
Qualities That Are Bad Driver
- A sequel of "Boat Smarts", which was already average at best and wasn't any better either.
- The episode can be summed as filler, especially since it's longer than "Boat Smarts".
- Just like "Boat Smarts", SpongeBob is unlikable and a reckless driver.
- This may make some fans angry and bring back bad flashbacks, but a track (Roger Roger version) from the Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" episode "Ren Seeks Help" was used, especially with how bad that one episode was and with the incredibly disturbing material "Ren Seeks Help" had.
- This episode is also a torture episode for Squidward and is treated very poorly, especially the painful scene where SpongeBob mess with Squidward broken neck.
- It is a big rehash from "Boat Smart", while yes this is a sequel episode, it mostly feel more like a rehash due to takong a lot of elements from that episode such as SpongeBob being a bad driver.
Qualities That Are Good Driver
- A few funny and creative gags here and there, such as the slow-motion children scene.
- All thanks to the storyboarders as well as Eddie Trigueros' over-the-top face expressions and poses here, the animation is still well-done and is very colorful.
- SpongeBob's "film" is pretty creative to look on.
- Much like Boat Smarts Mrs. Puff, Squidward, and the Bikini Bottomites are still likeable.
- Good ending: Unlike Boat Smarts, it's did give SpongeBob a proper comeuppance by Ms. Puff.
Reception
- While better received then "Boat Smarts", IMDb rated this a 6.7/10 overall with its sister episode, Ma and Pa's Big Hurrah.
Trivia
- This episode premiered as part of the 2023 event "Friday Nights on Nick."
- This episode's premiere preceded a new episode of the Nickelodeon animated series Monster High.
- The title card background is the same as "Driven to Tears," but with the tire marks being removed and in widescreen.
