'''What About Meep?'''
'''Original air date:''' 7/22/2021
All of the anchovies in the Barge cabin have the same lifestyles, hobbies, and appearances. However, one nicknamed Chovy [[IJustWantToBeSpecial wants to be his own person]]. [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick help him find a unique identity.
!! "What About Meep?" contains examples of:
* BittersweetEnding: The one unique thing Chovy can work with, wearing a mop on his head, is quickly appropriated by the other anchovies, leaving him the same as everyone just again. However, Chovy throws his mop away and realizes that being the only anchovy ''not'' wearing a mop once again makes him unique, while also letting him be his regular self.
* BusbyBerkeleyNumber: The anchovies perform an elaborate sequential dive into a pool. They surface forming the word "[[OneWordVocabulary MEEEEEEP]]".
* FailureMontage: A brief [[PhotoMontage montage of viewfinder slides]] shows some of Chovy's failed attempts to find a new personality.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Chovy wants to stand out from the others in his cabin. However, none of the other archetypes he tries work.
* MediumBlending: Live-action puppets are used for the song scene involving the anchovies.
* NarratorAllAlong: The episode has an opening and closing narration. At the end, it's revealed to be [=SpongeBob=] unknowingly putting on a voice, once Patrick points out that he's talking differently.
* SuddenlySpeaking: Chovy can only say "moop" in different tones, and once corrects [=SpongeBob=] by saying "isn't". Towards the end of the episode, he suddenly speaks a full sentence after seeing a mop:
-->'''Chovy''': Moop? ''(takes mop)'' Moop.\\
'''[=SpongeBob=]''': Moop? Huh, no. Mop.\\
'''Chovy''': ''([[SarcasmMode sarcastically]])'' Oh, yeah, mop. ''That's'' what I meant to say.

'''Hard Time Out'''
'''Original air date:''' 7/22/2021
Patrick wrecks Mr. Krabs' prized ship in a bottle, and [=SpongeBob=] gets sent to TimeOut for it. Not wanting his buddy to take the blame, Patrick has to break [=SpongeBob=] out before he goes insane from the isolation.
!! "Hard Time Out" contains examples of:
* BaitAndSwitch: We get a close-up of an angry-looking Patrick, which looks like one of the show's usual GrossUpCloseUp jokes. Then we zoom out to see that [=SpongeBob=] painted it in the previous scene and is currently hanging it on the wall.
* BigBallOfViolence: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick get into a brawl in the time out room, creating a huge cloud of dust. Mr. Krabs uses a fan to blow it away.
* BrickJoke: One of the things Patrick does to get in trouble is drive the outhouse into the lake. When [=SpongeBob=] needs to use the bathroom after his time out is done, Patrick tells him, "The lake's this way."
* CantGetInTroubleForNuthin: Patrick's antics get [=SpongeBob=] sent to TimeOut, leading Patrick to try to get sent there too to keep his friend company. When he spills a trash can, Krabs doesn't care because he found a fully wrapped candy bar inside. Patrick then releases a swarm of urchins, but they eat all the trash and leave the camp cleaner than before. Even him wrecking the outhouse by driving it into the lake doesn't bother Krabs because it needed to be cleaned anyways. Patrick then throws his neckerchief on the ground, and [[DisproportionateRetribution this]] is what gets him in time out.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Between lifting balloon weights, tattooing himself in crayon, and writing TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall, the way [=SpongeBob=] acts after a while in time out is clearly an analogy to a hardened criminal.
* PetTheDog: Even when sentencing [=SpongeBob=] to time out, Mr. Krabs at least gives him a pillow and offers some snacks.
* PrisonEpisode: Time out is treated as prison in this episode. Mr. Krabs asks [=SpongeBob=] if he's ready to "pay your debt to society" by doing it, [=SpongeBob=] is portrayed as a tough criminal after his time there, and Patrick refers to his attempts to get sent to time-out as a "crime spree".
* TallyMarksOnThePrisonWall: After a minute in time out, [=SpongeBob=] has begun tallying down the ''seconds'' he's been in time out.
* TimeOut: [=SpongeBob=] gets sentenced to time out, and undergoes SanitySlippage after being cooped up in there for less than a minute.
