To drive the reference home, Gary is given the special spatula [=SpongeBob=] had to buy in that episode.

When "Gary's Playhouse" recreates the episode, however, there's some clear differences. Instead of shopping for the spatula, Mr. Krabs' bunny counterpart gives Gary the spatula and tells him to start cooking, but Gary is so overwhelmed by the responsibility of satisfying the nematodes' hunger that he decides to call it quits, bulldoze his entire neighborhood, and go back to his normal life.
