"Slide Whistle Stooges" i an episode of the sixt season of SpongeBob SquarePants.

Plot
SpongeBob and Patrick are enjoying with their slide whistles, but the sounds that them make annoying Squidward. Actually, Squidward will enjoying too to the whistle, but his antics they will soon unleash a serious revolt.

Why should it swallows the whistle and chokes

 * 1) Like the most part of the episodes of these seasons, is a generic Squidward torture episode.
 * 2) The episode heavily abuses of obnoxious slide whistle's sound effects which can easily get on your nerves and want to turn off the tv right away. In fact, the main characters never stop playing them, so much so that there is not even 5 minutes of silence in the episode.
 * 3) There are various problems with the characters:
 * 4) *SpongeBob and Patrick are very heinouses and in this episode they touch the bottom, when they annoying Squidward without stopping. They are also very stupid, because they don't realize Squidward's attitude and even though he told them to stop, they continue and throughout the episode they act like stalkers.
 * 5) *It's impossible to sympathize with Squidward even though it should be his torture episode, because he eventually joins up with SpongeBob and Patrick, only to become a selfish and self-righteous neighbor who does nothing but torture innocent people literally for no reason, to the point of being able to easily be the antagonist of the episode.
 * 6) *Bikini Bottomies can be sympathetic, but this does not mean that they are extremely hypocritical, because they declare revenge to Squidward, despite the main problem being the slide whistles, so they do not also threaten Patrick and SpongeBob, who should be the cause of Squidward's bad abit. This becomes more glaring when Squidward, when drives a truck, falls in a pit and both SpongeBob and Patrick play a funeral tune with the slide whistles, in that moment, neverbody want to accuse the two for playing the instruments.
 * 7) **Instead of calling out Squidward for his actions, it seems like they want to arrest or even kill him, showing a rather dark side to the people of Bikini Bottom.
 * 8) Simply unlistenable soundtrack. There is no need to say why.
 * 9) Indeed, seeing Squidward suffer from the duo and then unite and become the antagonist of the aforementioned episode shows how hypocritical the show can be. By the way, Squidward himself has the problem of being oblivious to the risk he takes every time he annoys people, only to finally realize the damage he has done.
 * 10) Humor is not funny at all in this episode, not only because it is repetitive, but also because it practically does not exist any other form of fun that is not annoying whistles.
 * 11) Looks like a rip-off of "The Paper" of the first season and "Pranks a lot" of the third.
 * 12) The infamous scene where SpongeBob and Patrick chasing Squidward, which is enough to give you the last nerve.
 * 13) Horrific ending.
 * 14) *By the way, the final scene where everyone jokes with slide whistles should be hilarious and comical, but it feels not only stupid and annoying, but also a huge kick in the balls, because both SpongeBob and Patrick don't learn any lessons and keep playing their cursed tools and somehow they make everyone happy, except Squidward.
 * 15) *Seeing Squidward with his slide whistle stuck in his throat and only capable of making squeaky sounds is very disturbing, especially on a children's show.
 * 16) *And to top it off, SpongeBob and Patrick are not being punished for their actions.
 * 17) Bad Moral: this episode in fact teaches that torturing or annoying a person can be hilarious for both you and her, when in reality it could get you in seriouses troubles.
 * 18) Speaking of morals, this episode had the opportunity to teach the problem of addiction, a very useful thing especially among gamers and smokers, since the protagonists continue to play the whistles non-stop as if they were their own drug, which would have led to the two to face Suiddi and the rest of the people who hate their behavior, but instead, the writers chose the wrong path and did this.
 * 19) Finally, this episode tries to be a parody and love letter to The Tree Stooges, but instead turns out to be very offensive to the original trio.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Squidward at least gets his punishment in the finale.
 * 2) Dub and animation still good.
 * 3) There is a slightly funny scene in which Squidward with the truck destroys the Chum Bucket, which leads Mr. Krabs to cheer, only for the first to destroys the Krusty Krab.

Reception
This episode, like his twin, was universally panned by critics and public. Has a 4.1 on IMDb.
