SpongeBob himself isn't much better in that episode.

Squidward was completely in the right in calling Mermaidman and tell on SpongeBob (even if it was out of spite and revenge). SpongeBob shrinks Squidward to stop him and selfishly ignores Squidward's demands to get Mermaid Man's help, fearful that he'd get kicked out of the fan club.

Well, I say SpongeBob totally deserved to be kicked out of Mermaid Man's fan club, even if Mermaid Man wasn't angry with him. He only made one single attempt to return the belt and later caused nothing but chaos with it.

I know what you're are thinking. How can I say that stuff towards SpongeBob? According to TV tropes, it's called Unintentionally Unsympathetic. Look it up.
