'''Tattoo Hullabaloo'''

'''Original air date''': 5/20/2024

Two of Bunny's tattoos, a sailor named Skip and a hula dancer named Leilani, get separated after a day at the beach. It's up to Bunny and Cecil to help reunite them.

!!Tattoo Hullabaloo contains examples of:
* ADayInTheLimelight: The episode focuses on two of Bunny's tattoos, Skip and Leilani, whose only previous appearance was a minor unnamed role in "Mid-Season Finale".
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Leilani cries ink, staining the couch, although Bunny does not realize who did it. She suspects Squidina, who is embarrassed and claims she hasn't done that in years, then runs off upset. Given that ink is usually treated as urine, the situation comes off like Bunny thinking Squidina had a PottyFailure.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Skip and Leilani are drawn in a different style and resemble more stylized humans than usually seen on the show.
* TakingTheBullet: Cecil jumps into the way of the tattoo-removal laser that is about to kill Skip. Fortunately, it only removes a mole from his chest, leaving him unharmed.

Added DiffLines:

* BrickJoke:
** Bunny throws away a bunch of raw meat. At the end of the episode, Patrick sees some of it and mistakes it for a new ice cream flavor, scooping it up and eating it.
** Plankton kicks out the group at the Chum Bucket for not buying any chum. When they meet up again at the end, he once again kicks them out.
--->'''Plankton''': Maybe next time you should ''BUY SOME CHUM!''


Added DiffLines:

* NothingIsFunnier: Gladys is currently reading an expose called ''Secret Evil: The Untold Truth of the EasterBunny''. Exactly ''what'' this is "untold truth" is never explained and left to the viewer's imagination.


Added DiffLines:

* RampJump: The ice cream man is driving his truck away from Patrick. The only exit is to launch off a drawbridge that's going up. He jumps out of the ocean and crashes the truck front-first into the ground. Patrick ''still'' manages to catch up to him somehow.
* RewatchBonus: It's difficult to notice on first watch, but when Gladys is first seen, she's reading the Easter Bunny expose that she brings up later. Also, while Squidward, Fentin, and the Grim Reaper specifically mention their enemies as "[X] Star," Gladys just says "Ooh, that Bunny!" [[{{Foreshadowing}} This hints that she wasn't actually in on it for revenge like the others.]]

'''Best Served Cold'''

'''Original air date''': 2/29/2024

The local ice cream man hates Patrick for always ruining his business, Squidward hates that Cecil never pays for his newspapers, the GrimReaper has been eluded by [=GrandPat=] for centuries, Fentin is jealous of Squidina's success, and Gladys has a grudge against Bunny. They join forces to take down the Star family for good.

!!Best Served Cold contains examples of:
* CallBack: Patrick's feud with the ice cream man originated in "Enemies a la Mode."
* DoubleMeaningTitle: A play on "revenge is a dish best served cold" and Patrick's enemy being an ice cream man.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Squidward sets a trap for Cecil: Cecil will pull the newspaper and end up pulling a stake that drags him into a newspaper press. However, Cecil winds up pulling the paper with his teeth, frustrating Squidward. Squidward demonstrates how it's supposed to work and gets caught in the trap himself.
* IWillShowYouX: When the ice cream man chases after Patrick in a spiked ice cream cone vehicle:
-->'''Ice cream man''': What's the matter, Patrick? I thought you ''wanted'' ice cream!\\
'''Patrick''': ''(crying)'' I ''do'', but ''not like this!''
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Gladys runs off saying that she'll "never tell anyone about this" after realizing she accidentally joined a revenge scheme.
* NoNameGiven: The ice cream man is not given a proper name throughout the episode.
* OverlyLongGag: Patrick spends 25 seconds trying to decide which flavor of ice cream he wants... even though the only choices are chocolate and vanilla.
* PokeThePoodle: The Grim Reaper's revenge on [=GrandPat=] just amounts to pranking him into getting whipped cream in his face.
* SelfDeprecation: Fentin articulates an emotionally devastating review for Squidina:
-->'''Fentin''': ''The Patrick Star Show'' is an assault on every viewer's taste! Shoddy production values, awful comedy, inane and pandering, it's an insult to the medium of television! Worst show! 0 out of 10 stars! Whoever runs this show should be ashamed!
* SpecialGuest: Gracen Newton returns as Fentin.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Fentin tries to write a bad review of the ''Patrick Show''. However, since he's still very young, he can't actually write and it just comes out as an incomprehensible series of scribbles, which Squidina believes is a fan letter.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Gladys is the only one who doesn't actually have a grudge against the Star family. She thought they were talking about the ''Easter'' Bunny, not Bunny Star, and thought it looked like fun so she stayed. She nervously leaves and promises not to speak of it again once she realizes everyone else is getting revenge.
* UnknownRival: Patrick doesn't realize that Fentin, Squidward, and the Grim Reaper are also after the Stars. When he gets into the van, he asks if they're running from the ice cream man too, unaware that they were actually working with him.
* WingdingEyes: When Patrick tries to eat the giant ice cream vehicle, his eyes turn into ice cream cones.
