'''Original air date:''' 4/22/2010 ''(produced in 2009)''

When a new superhighway is being planned to go straight through Jellyfish Fields, [=SpongeBob=] launches a crusade against the construction company responsible in order to save his favorite hangout.
!! Spongebob's Last Stand contains examples of:
* AccidentalMisnaming: [=SpongeBob=] refers to Sandy as "Sandy Squirrel" even though we all know that her last name is actually Cheeks.
* BerserkButton: The Jellyfish were outraged that their natural habitat was converted into a superhighway.
* BigNo[=/=]EyeScream: When Plankton gets attacked by the jellyfish, he screams, "NOOOO! Not the eye! Not the eye!"
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When the Bikini Bottomites boo [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's song, [=SpongeBob=] thinks that they are booing the Shelly Superhighway.
** Then when a Bikini Bottomite grabs Patrick's tambourine and stomps on it, [=SpongeBob=] misinterprets it as a hatred of tambourines.
* CommunityThreateningConstruction: The Shelly Superhighway goes straight through Jellyfish Fields, over the Krusty Krab and straight to the Chum Bucket. However, everyone (save for [=SpongeBob=], Patrick and Mr. Krabs) supports Plankton's plan.
* DarkestHour: Plankton successfully builds the Shelly Superhighway over Jellyfish Fields, resulting in him taking customers away from the Krusty Krab, and Mr. Krabs decides he could no longer stay in business and is ready to sell off the Krabby Patty Secret Formula.
-->'''Mr. Krabs:''' Plankton, I'm ready to negotiate a price for me secret formula.\\
'''Plankton:''' Oh, sure! Let me just wind my watch!\\
'''Mr. Krabs:''' What for?\\
'''Plankton:''' 'Cause I'm gonna love every minute of this!
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Mr. Krabs was all for the superhighway...until he learned that the highway would go over the Krusty Krab and put it out of business.
* EarthDayEpisode: The episode had even aired on Earth Day.
* EarthSong: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick sing a protest song defending Jellyfish Fields from the impeding superhighway construction, but the connection to the environment is a bit flimsy in practice, since it's mostly done as a nonsensical ListSong and doesn't really win anybody over. It's also a parody of Music/JohnLennon's "Give Peace a Chance" and ends with the duo dressed as hippies.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Squidward hates his job, but even he shows concern about the Krusty Krab getting destroyed.
* GreenAesop: Take care of the ecosystem and don't disturb animals' natural habitats.
* GrossUpCloseUp: Gary's toes and Patrick's armpit hair in the "Give Jellyfish Fields a Chance" sequence.
* ILoveTheSmellOfXInTheMorning: Right as Plankton is about to pave Jellyfish Fields, he says, "I love the smell of tar in the morning."
* IWarnedYou: [=SpongeBob=] continuously tries to tell everyone that if Jellyfish Fields is demolished, the jellyfish will have no place to live, [[OnlySaneMan but nobody listens to him]]. His concerns end up being verified when the jellyfish come into town.
* TheLastTitle: The episode title itself.
* ListSong: "Give Jellyfish Fields a Chance" lists several objects in rhyming couplets [[WordSaladLyrics that don't have anything to do with [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's mission]].
* LiteralMinded: After Mr. Krabs decides they're gonna give Plankton a piece of his mind, [=SpongeBob=] tears off a large piece of his head.
* LookMaIAmOnTV: One Bikini Bottomite overdoes it while the news reporter is not amused.
-->'''Bill''': Hi Mom! Hi, Dad! Hey, Dr. Slieen! [''[=SpongeBob=] is seen running away from jellyfish in the background''] Hey, Jennifer! Hey, Sally! Hey, Francis! Hey, Mable! Hey, Julie! Hey, Abigail!
* MistakenConfession: When [=SpongeBob=] and Mr. Krabs confront Plankton about the highway, he confesses that he's been stealing Mr. Krabs' mail for the past five years. Mr. Krabs was visibly shocked.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Mr. Krabs does this when he realizes that he was one of the people who voted of the superhighway to be built.
* NearVillainVictory: Plankton has successfully run the Krusty Krab out of business and is on the verge of getting the Krabby Patty secret formula from a willing Mr. Krabs.
* RunningGag: Patrick misunderstanding [=SpongeBob=]'s questions and [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder answering something that SpongeBob already knows]].
* ShoutOut: The song "Give Jellyfish Fields A Chance" is a parody of [[Music/JohnLennon John Lennon's]] "Give Peace A Chance". The scene that the song plays over is a parody of the music video for "[[Music/BobDylan Subterranean Homesick Blues]]".
** The middle of the jellyfishing song has a slight rewrite of The Toyes' "Smoke Two Joints" (replace "two joints" with "jellyfishing").
** The line "Frankly, my dear sponge, I don't give a barnacle" is a parody of the line from ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'', "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
** When Plankton says "I love the smell of tar in the morning," it is a parody of the famous line "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" from ''Film/ApocalypseNow''.
* TheSomethingSong: The Jellyfishing Song.
* TemptingFate: After [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are abandoned right on the edge of nowhere, [=SpongeBob=] remarks "At least it isn't raining." It then shows a single cloud pouring rain onto [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick.
* TimeForPlanB: With Mr. Krabs actually losing his business to Plankton thanks to the Superhighway, he decides it's time to activate Plan Zed-Niner-Niner. Unfortunately for [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward, it means that he's going to sell the Krabby Patty Secret Formula to Plankton.
* TradeSnark: "Plan approved by Sheldon J. Plankton Enterprises, a division of No Fun Incorporated."
* TriumphantReprise: Everyone sings a reprise of "The Jellyfishing Song" as the highway is demolished and Jellyfish Fields is restored.
* UnsoundEffect: When [=SpongeBob=] tries to get Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy to help him stop the construction of the Shelly Superhighway: "APATHY!!!"
* WorldWreckingWave: When the superhighway is being built, it sucks out the life in Jellyfish Fields as it progresses through.
* YesMan: Mr. Krabs loves saying "aye". He regrets it later, after he realized that he unwittingly said it during a vote for the superhighway.
-->'''Mr. Krabs''': Oh, why did I say "aye"?
