This wiki doesn't properly explain why an episode is ScumBob and also treats popular opinions as facts as well.

ScumBob Wiki is a Fandom wiki focused on discussing episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants that are considered bad. The wiki used to be good, though after Golfpecks256 implemented a policy that all episodes should be on the wiki (despite the non-infamous episodes being removed from the wiki in December 2024), the wiki began to decline in quality.

Why It is ScumBob Itself Nowadays

  1. The biggest problem with this wiki is, as mentioned above, that it contains pages about episodes that aren't even hated.[1]
  2. Almost non-existent quality control, as many of the pages are very short and/or don't even have images.[2]
  3. A tongue in cheek page about ranks of ScumBob, which was made by Bluba in response to an overflow of categories, was taken extremely seriously and people now act as though they are official rankings of ScumBob, even though there was no consensus or decision made to make them official rankings.[3]
  4. The type section on the infoboxes used on the episodes' descriptions in some pages use rather insulting descriptions[4][5][6], which makes the pages look hateful as well as nullifying the purpose of a reception wiki, which such wikis are supposed to be about criticism and not hate.
    • They also called Patrick "FatPrick Man!" on the Patrick-Man! page[5] as well as having a page called Fatprick and His Fake Parents Infamous Laugh Scene[7], which is fat shaming. Thankfully, the latter page was deleted.
  5. A lot of the admins have been inactive for years.[8]
  6. As a result of Golf's policy, the wiki remains extremely divided and thus there is a lot of arguing in comments sections.
  7. Since 2022, it has become a ripoff of the now-deleted Terrible Shows & Episodes Wiki and to an extent, Qualitipedia itself (both old and new).
    • In fact, some pages even copy content from those wikis.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
    • This is hypocrisy because their policy says that linking to New Qualitipedia is prohibited.[15]
  8. Its sister wiki, Anti-ScumBob Wiki (despite having some good articles about episodes that are good such as the Band Geeks one[16]), which is about good episodes of SpongeBob, suffers from the same problem, but is even more severely affected, as the wiki was practically abandoned for a while until Bluba built up the wiki, though after he was demoted and blocked the wiki went back to being abandoned, with no active admins[17] and short pages[18], some of which are about stuff that isn't even liked.[19]
  9. Hypocrisy: The references on articles remind users to not change the rankings after the poll and they keep changing them without the person who created the poll such as this.
  10. It has lots of unnecessary categories and pages such as Squidward Abuse (we already have a Squidward Torture category[20][21]), Evil Episodes[22], SCUMBOB[23], Viewer Torture[24], and Worst of the Worst[25].

Anti-ScumBob Qualities

  1. The wiki used to be good before June 2020 when Golf's policy was implemented as it went downhill after.
  2. The wiki still does have good explanations as to why certain episodes are bad such as the Plane to Sea article.[26]
  3. There are still many articles on episodes that are actually disliked that are also well-written and many users can find helpful such as:
    • A Pal for Gary[27]
    • One Coarse Meal[28]
    • SpongeBob You're Fired[29]
    • Summer Job[30]
    • Pet the Rock[31]
    • Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie (despite being copied and pasted from New Qualitipedia)[13]
    • Ink Lemonade[32]
    • SquidBird[33]
    • Plane to Sea[26]
    • Don't Make Me Laugh[34]
    • Stuck in the Wringer[35]
    • Your's Mine and Mine[36]
    • The Cent of Money[37]
    • Someone's in the Kitchen with Sandy[9]
    • The Splinter[38]
    • Boating Buddies[39]
    • Choir Boys[40]
    • Pet Sitter Pat[41]
    • SpongeBob Simulator[42]
    • Behind Closed Doors (despite having redeeming qualities on the page)[43]
    • Squidiot Box[44]
    • Smoothe Jazz at Bikini Bottom[45]
    • Demolition Doofus[46]
    • Squid Baby[47]
    • Little Yellow Book[48]
    • Truth or Square[49]
    • Atlantis SquarePantis[50]
    • To Love a Patty[51]
    • All That Glitters[52]
  4. Despite the toxic community, there are still some good users here and there such as Anthony2306 and SquidTron C.
  5. Since December 2024, some nonsensical pages are being removed[53][54]. Also, the wiki slightly improved on that month as SquidTron C would save the episode rankings by removing the non-infamous episodes from the ScumBob Wiki and the non-famous episodes from the Anti-ScumBob Wiki[55]. But that is not saying much.
  6. At least they made SquidTron C a moderator after returning to the wiki.
  7. The new logo in December 2024 is an improvement over the original.[56]
