 * The show is very good, my first new show with Matchy since our team up at the beginning of the month. I'm kinda glad I didn't anticipate this one as much as futurebob because this is similar to some other spin-offs yet it has its own twists by removing characters from SpongeBob SquarePants (fanon series) like Krabs, Shicowa, Adam, Maja, MermaidKid and BarnacleBean, and (later) Plankton! -
 * The show's pretty good. It's unique and has enough elements to keep you wanting more. I hope it gets more episodes in the future. 8.5/10 so far. - Somematchyguy19
 * *smack* Noice. - RTehNoobv2
 * Unfamiliarity with the new characters will either keep away new readers, or invite new readers as the unique setup and unique lineup of well-rounded characters is sure to bring a new twist to each episode. 8/10 - SwitchPlanters
 * 8.5/10 – A fresh take on the retired genre of spin-offs, a call back to Reckless and Retired with a mix of SpongeBob SquarePants (Fanon).  Flag500.gif Luis~SBCA  M  C    #Laban Pilipinas!     15:32,03/19/2018
 * 8/10 - A great reboot of another show on this Wikia known as "Reckless and Retired", like my man above me said, and a mix of new and old characters from SpongeBob SquarePants (fanon) and the mind of Jasbre. - Gene Scallop
 * 7/10 - Can be a pinch better, but it is already pretty good. A Fallen  Power   ( Talk •  Contributions )
 * 8/10 - it's a good spinoff, but i feel like it could've gone without removing some characters from the fanon series. Squidsponge
 * 9/10 - Better than anything Pence can pull off - George Bush Jr.
 * 9/10 - Better than anything than that bushy boy can pull off - Mike Pence
 * 1/10 -
