Any episode of SpongeBob SquarePants in which the character, Squidward Tentacles, is unfairly injured/stripped of any dreams or hopes for that episode for the sole purpose of him being
Squidward and being the "bad guy" when in
reality, he's the character we sympathize with. Also noted by an abnormally large
IQ drop in SpongeBob or Patrick just for those episodes as well.
