[=SpongeBob=] and Patrick want to see the new ''Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy Pets'' movie, but since all the theater staff took the day off, they have to work the entire theater and follow their MeanBoss's orders to get to watch it.
!!Movie Stars contains examples of:
* AmusingInjuries: While tearing tickets, [=SpongeBob=] accidentally tears two of the ushers in half.
* AssholeVictim: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's boss gets beaten up because, as Mermaid Worm points out, he exploited their stupidity by making them do a stressful job for no pay.
-->'''Manager:''' What? Why is the boss always the bad guy?
* GainaxEnding: The episode ends with Bubble Bass being [[BrickJoke eaten by rats]] and reduced to a skeleton.
-->'''Bubble Bass:''' The ending felt random.
* JerkassBall: The Goofy Manager in previous episodes was more often than not a DesignatedVillain who had a right to be upset with how people were messing things up. Here, he's a MeanBoss who hires [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick just so he doesn't have to pay them, and constantly yells at them to do things without giving them any proper training or instructions.
* {{Malaproper}}: Patrick pronounces "preferential treatment" as "perforation treatment."
* MondegreenGag: When [=SpongeBob=] says, "Sir, look no farther!", Patrick follows it up with "And no mother!", having misheard "farther" as "father".
* MovieTheaterEpisode: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick get a job at the local movie theater. While they just want to see the movie, their boss keeps ordering them around to do things like throw things at the audience to make a 3D short feel realistic or figure out which movie reels to use.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Even Squidina tries to sneak snacks into the movie theater. When Patrick catches her having taped a pizza slice to the back of her head, she points out, "I learned that one from ''you''!"
* SanityBall: When he's made to throw stuff at the theater patrons to sell the illusion of 3D, Patrick actually hesitates and points out to the manager that some of the objects look dangerous.
* {{Snacksploitation}}: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are tasked to prevent people from sneaking in food to the theater. Patrick catches Cecil trying to sneak in an entire Thanksgiving feast. Later on, [=SpongeBob=] is supposed to charge Bubble Bass for a napkin.
* SequelSnark: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick go to see a ''Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy'' SpinOff movie about their ''pets'': in particular, episode 6, part 2. The title is so long that [=SpongeBob=] can barely say it in one breath.
* TemptingFate: Squidina responds to ProductPlacement for soda in the movie with "This is the most blatant product placement I have ever seen. Good thing that stuff doesn't work, right, Dad?" Pan over to Cecil promptly drinking the soda from a hat.
* TheEnd: The manager gets hit teeth knocked out by a punch from Mermaid Worm. His loose teeth spell out "The End" to signal the end of the movie.
* TicketLineCampout: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick had been camping out in a tent overnight outside the movie theater, so they can be some of the first people in.

'''Original air date''': 11/16/23
When Patrick is giving a lecture on the WesternZodiac as a means to shill healing crystals, Sandy immediate detects pseudoscience. She decides to give him lessons on how ''real'' science works.
!!Dr. Smart Science contains examples of:
* AsideComment: When Patrick goes into his belly button and eats a piece of pizza already in his stomach, Sandy is left baffled. She turns to the camera and says:
-->'''Sandy''': Kids, I don't know how he's doing this, but that is absolutely ''not'' how the digestive system works!
* EurekaMoment: [=GrandPat=] saying that his day is going just as his horoscope predicted it what reminds Patrick of pseudoscience, giving him the strength to call him out.
* FreezeFrameBonus:
** The words flying past Patrick in the intro are "E = MC^2", "Space-Time Continuum", "Flatulence", and "Gravity".
** You can pause the "How Does That Work!?" slide to read the text, which includes some references to previous ''[=SpongeBob=]'' episodes.
* FunWithHomophones: When Sandy points out their volcano is a model, Patrick says "Nuh-uh, ''this'' is a model!" and points to a fashion model right next to them.
* IdeaBulb: A sputtering lightbulb appears above Patrick's head on the "How Does That Work?!" slide.
* IronicEpisodeTitle: Patrick is [[KnowNothingKnowItAll not smart]], nor does he know anything about real science.
* {{Malaproper}}:
** Patrick mispronounces the Sagittarius sign as "Saggy Terry".
** When Patrick finally calls out pseudoscience, he pronounces it as "Strudel science!" Sandy shrugs and says it's close enough.
* MandatoryLine: Squidina only gets one line in this episode, at the very beginning: "Alright, that's a wrap on the intro!"
* MythologyGag: Patrick's astrology lecture contains some of the same signs as ''[[WesternAnimation/NickelodeonShortsAndInterstitials Astrology with Squidward]]'', a series of shorts that aired on Nickelodeon from 2000 to 2001.
* OfficiallyShortenedTitle: The episode's title card and opening narration read "Dr. Smart Science, with Professor Patrick!" However, the credits and TV listings shorten it to "Dr. Smart Science".
* PuffOfLogic: Sandy tries to spray Patrick with water, but since he's in space, there is no water. Once Patrick hears this, he promptly shrivels up and dries out.
* RunningGag: Whenever Patrick says something that isn't real science, Sandy spritzes him with water.
* TheEnd: The episode ends with "The End" chiseled on a giant crystal that drops on Old Man Walker.
* {{Satire}}: The episode has some choice words about pop psychology and pseudoscience. Patrick preaches astrology on his show, describing, "if you've ever thought, 'coming up with my own personality is too hard,' you're gonna ''love'' this!" He then launches into a prediction for Sagittarius: they will be very unlucky unless they purchase his products and healing crystals. [[RefugeInAudacity Old Man Walker excitedly dials in, planning to cancel his doctor appointment.]]
* ShoutOut: The opening to Patrick's show is a reference to ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy''.
* SimilarItemConfusion: Throughout the episode, Patrick confuses astronomy with astrology.
