Plankton has seemingly won, now that he has SpongeBob, the Krusty Krab's greatest fry cook (remember, in the song later in the episode, it sees Mr Krabs failing at making Krabby Patties) working for him, and seeing as how he'd know how weak-minded SpongeBob is, this would make for the perfect opportunity to have him make a Krabby Patty and attain the formula. Overall, this scene is very dramatic, and why shouldn't it be?
Of course he had to use a crowbar and shove SpongeBob into a flying device. Also how did Squidward get into the Krusty Krab before Mr Krabs unlocked it? Plankton comes around to confirm the deal was true to SpongeBob, and then SpongeBob and Mr Krabs share one last hug before Plankton literally seperates them. I like how Squidward comes out of the Krusty Krab pleasantly shocked at the news, because if you didn't know who Squidward was (which would be hard to believe in 2002), you'd still see it as a joke about unfriendly co-workers. With that, the grief that Mr Krabs goes through, though not shown onscreen that much, can be a message on the dangers of gambling,as you could lose something extra valuable, which is a great lesson for a show like SpongeBob to use, as it's target audience would have a very light grasp on what gambling really is (outside of Pokémon Gen 1, which by this point would've become a bit outdated for most Pokémaniacs), and would have to be taught about it while showing it's cons and it's cons only. Mr Krabs lost SpongeBob through, not just a bet, but by basically gambling SpongeBob. Mr Krabs then says that he lost SpongeBob, and further elaborates that he bet SpongeBob's contract, and here is part of the reason that this episode really works. Mr Krabs says that he lost the previous night's hame, but isn't able to finish his sentance and say what he lost twice because SpongeBob interrupts asking just what he lost out of shock. They both walk home laughing, and the next day, Mr Krabs walks back to the Krusty Krab crying while SpongeBob is still laughing, which is rather funny, but also dramatic, as Mr Krabs knows something that SpongeBob, and by proxy the audience, doesn't. SpongeBob is shocked that Mr Krabs would want to do such a thing (especially after SpongeBob has had countless bad experiences with Plankton, and by countless, I mean 4), but then leans that it's okay because Mr Krabs always wins. The Krusty Krab is closing down for the night with SpongeBob and Mr Krabs walking outside, with Mr Krabs saying to SpongeBob that he's going to be gambling with Plankton. How can I tell? Because it's set at night, and in most cases (I'm not saying all), that means that there is going to be a bit more drama in a SpongeBob episode (see Pizza Delivery and Scaredy Pants). Does it get old quickly or is it a rather interesting location? Well, I already spoiled it in the first sentance, so I'll just explain why this episode is good.įrom the beginning, this episode sets itself up to be a little bit darker than most SpongeBob episodes. Yes, there was a scene or two set inside the Chum Bucket previously in episodes like Plankton! and F.U.N., which are the only two episodes I could think of from the top of my head (just goes to show how unused the location was in the show's early days), but never for an entire episode. This is the first episode to be primarily set in the Chum Bucket, and oddly enough, the only Season 2 episode to show the interior of the Chum Bucket at all as far as I know. Written by Walt Dohrn, Paul Tibbitt and Mr LawrenceĪnd what a warm (and by that I intend to mean cold) welcome it was. Plot: Plankton takes SpongeBob off of Mr Krabs and has him work at the Chum Bucket Welcome to the Chum Bucket (Season 2, Episode 14a)Įpisode 67 in broadcast order, Episode 78 in airing order
