The only 3-4 minutes of the episode with any effort. His hijinx were in-character and his exploits were nicely animated. There's even a doodle squad here so they could have fought their counterparts. Following up on Sandy not meeting Doodlebob, why did it have to be just Spongebob and Patrick again? A sequel should have a new hook to it, the idea of the larger cast helping defeat Doodlebob could be promising. There were more creative ways to introduce that dimension. Do a Sandy episode some other time if you aren't going to let her meet Doodlebob.

Including that "gimme my nuts" wet fart of an ending.

This could have been easily solved if the pencil was just laying out in the open of the dimension void. Here? Spongebob pulls it out of his head in perfect shape as if it were nothing. In the original the pencil is given a mystical backstory, is sent back up, and breaks. For all the episode makes clear, Spongebob only coined that term for him on the spot. The insistence on being as vague as possible as to whether Doodlebob has been encountered before. Perhaps the show should stop doing sequels to older episodes, unless they are actually gonna remember the events of the original episodes. I didn't expect this episode to be in the same quality as that one but I could at least expect some callbacks and the characters remembering DoodleBob. Overall, a good episode but such a disappointing sequel to Frakendoodle, one of the funniest and most creative episodes in the show. I liked seeing doodle versions of Sandy, Squidward, Mr. Those parts were awesome and the animation of this episode was on point. What made me like the episode was obviously the excitement of SpongeBob and Patrick battling against DoodleBob. First minutes were annoying and none of the gags worked for me, except for the nuts gag but the humor afterwards was acceptable. So I found SpongeBob and Patrick not knowing DoddleBob was so jarring to see. I understand this show isn't a show with a good continuity and I don't expect it to be, maybe they thought the new viewers don't know DoodleBob, so they reintroduced him but if you are gonna bring back a character from the past, you can at least acknowledge its history. I really enjoyed watching this episode, couple of minutes after the episode started anyway but I couldn't help but find this episode disappointing because it was a sequel to Frakendoodle but it didn't even bring up the events of that episode.

However, as much as I appreciate the crew for bringing him back, I think Doodlebob was best left as a one-off. Again, not a bad episode, and I could see others enjoying it. I also like how "squeaky" came into play and helped defeat Doodlebob's forces, that was clever use of a random gag. If nothing else, I did enjoy the drawing war that went on, it was visually interesting and the best part of the episode. It was also still unclear if the two even really recognized Doodlebob, which makes this one kind of iffy in being a "sequel", but whatever. However, SpongeBob randomly having the pencil inside of him felt pretty contrived and out of nowhere. Not to mention it went on way too long and felt like a padded out setup. SpongeBob and Patrick were so stupid beyond belief and it wasn't even funny. To start, I did not like the first half of the episode. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't get my expectations too high or I would've been more negative on this. It wasn't bad, but I can't really say I loved it either.
