6	'''Original air date:''' 10/11/2004 ''(produced in 2002; first aired in Canada on 11/19/02)'' [[note]]"[=SpongeBob=] Meets the Strangler" and "Pranks a Lot" were also both released on the ''Seascape Capers'' DVD set on 1/6/04.[[/note]]
7
8	A dangerous criminal known as the "Tattletale Strangler" has escaped police custody after [=SpongeBob=] rats him out for littering. To help heighten security for himself, [=SpongeBob=] hires a bodyguard. However, unknown to him, it's the Strangler in disguise!
9	----
10	!!"[=SpongeBob=] Meets the Strangler" contains examples of:
11	* AssholeVictim: If the Strangler wasn't established to be a violent criminal beforehand, all of the mental and physical torment [=SpongeBob=] puts him through would be a lot crueler.
12	* BadCopIncompetentCop: Not only were the police too stupid to keep a close eye on the Strangler ([[EpicFail resulting in his escape]]), but they proceed to callously abandon [=SpongeBob=] in his time of need.
13	* ABirthdayNotABreak: Though not revealed until later, the episode takes place on [=SpongeBob=]'s birthday, and he has to deal with an assailant who's out to murder him.
14	* BrickJoke: Towards the end of the cartoon, [[TooDumbToLive Patrick becomes convinced that he's the Strangler]] and decides to turn himself in. At the end of the episode, the Strangler finds out Patrick's his cellmate.
15	* BystanderSyndrome: The police refuse to help [=SpongeBob=] when the latter is getting menaced by the Strangler, saying it's not their job ([[PoliceAreUseless even though it actually is]]) and leaving him to his fate. They even go as far as ''teasing'' him over it:
16	-->'''Officer Slugfish:''' Give us a call if you see him again, ''tattletale''!
17	* TheCatCameBack: The Strangler finally gets fed up with [=SpongeBob=] and tries to flee from him, only to keep running into [=SpongeBob=] wherever he goes.
18	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Strangler reveals his identity while screaming and ripping off his fake mustache. [=SpongeBob=] asks him how he got rid of his mustache without shaving cream.
19	* ContinuityNod: [=SpongeBob=] throws constant house parties multiple times a day, that even people like Squidward genuinely enjoy; after a previous episode established his reputation as a great host.
20	* DiggingYourselfDeeper: As [=SpongeBob=] and the Strangler (disguised as the bodyguard) make it to [=SpongeBob=]'s house:
21	-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Bodyguard, let me just be the first to say you're the best bodyguard a fella could hope to have.\
22	'''Strangler:''' Alright, enough with the sappy talk! Open the door so I can strangle you... I mean, uh, choke you... I mean, uh, crush your windpipe... GAH! I mean...\
23	'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Protect me?\
24	'''Strangler:''' Thanks.\
25	'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Don't mention it, Strangler. ''(gasp)'' I mean, Bodyguard.
26	* DisproportionateRetribution: The Tattletale Strangler strangles his victims after they rat him out.
27	* TheDreaded: The Tattletale Strangler. When [=SpongeBob=] approaches several characters, such as Mr. Krabs and Larry, for protection, they refuse to help and flee in fear. Even the thugs at the Tough Tavern are terrified of him. Yet, none of [=SpongeBob=]'s friends seem to mind him when they show up at [=SpongeBob=]'s house.
28	* EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop: At both of [=SpongeBob=]'s parties. And yet, someone forgot to animate Sandy, Larry, and some of the background fish.
29	* EvilLaugh: The Strangler. And [=SpongeBob=] joins him in the laughter.
30	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin:
31	-->'''Patrick:''' We just do what the invitations say. Let's-a boogie some more!
32	* EyeScream: [=SpongeBob=] gets his cleats stuck in the Strangler's ''eye sockets''. It lasts for ''six hours''.
33	-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' With these spiky cleats, anything is possible!\
34	'''Strangler:''' Cleats?! ''[[=SpongeBob=] jumps onto his eye sockets, and he screams in pain]'' Get your feet out of my eye sockets!\
35	'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' I'm trying, but my cleats are stuck in your corneas!
36	* FelonyMisdemeanor: Not only does the Strangler get arrested for littering, but he also gets chained with dozens of handcuffs. This is actually justified as the Strangler is also a serial killer and has been wanted for a while, and later on, even with dozens of handcuffs, he still escapes.
37	* FromBadToWorse: Even though the Strangler finally gets away from [=SpongeBob=] in jail, he finds himself stuck with Patrick for a cellmate.
38	* GrossUpCloseUp: Of the Strangler's dirty hands.
39	* HereWeGoAgain: After the Strangler ends up in a cell away from [=SpongeBob=], he's initially relieved to be away from the "yellow idiot"... but then discovers that he's sharing a cell with Patrick. Just think of all the trouble Patrick will give him...
40	* HighPressureEmotion: The Strangler steams with anger when [=SpongeBob=] can't find the key to his house. And when he finds out [=SpongeBob=] keeps a key under his mat after getting spiky cleats stuck in his eyes for SIX HOURS, his head opens on a hinge to release a ''mushroom cloud''.
41	* HumanLadder: When the Strangler can't reach [=SpongeBob=]'s window to get into his house, he asks him to climb on his shoulders. Unfortunately, it's at that moment that [=SpongeBob=] decides to wear spiky cleats.
42	* ImpactSilhouette: Patrick leaves [=SpongeBob=]'s house [[ThereWasADoor by going through the wall]], leaving a star-shaped hole. When the Strangler reaches his breaking point, he does the same and leaves a hole beside Patrick's.
43	* ImplausibleDeniability: At the dry cleaners, the cashier gives [=SpongeBob=] his pants, but he's hesitant to take them because, even though they look like any of his other pairs, he's not sure if they're his pants.
44	* {{Jerkass}}: While nowhere near to the point of PoliceBrutality, the cops are complete jerks to [=SpongeBob=] when he asks them to protect him. They do congratulate him when he lands the Strangler behind bars later, though.
45	* KarmicButtMonkey: The Strangler spends most of the episode being tormented by [=SpongeBob=]'s naivety, but he totally deserves it.
46	* KeyUnderTheDoormat: After failing to get into [=SpongeBob=]'s house, [=SpongeBob=] tells the Strangler he keeps a key under his mat for emergencies... [[HighPressureEmotion which enrages the Strangler]] as he just got cleats stuck in his eyes for nothing for the last ''six hours''.
47	* TheKillerInMe: Played for Laughs. Patrick becomes convinced he's the Strangler and runs to the police. [[BrickJoke He's still incarcerated at the end of the episode, sharing his cell with the real strangler who wanted to escape SpongeBob.]]
48	* LampshadeWearing: Squidward, of all people, at [=SpongeBob=]'s parties.
49	* MasterOfDisguise: Discussed. While the Strangler's [[PaperThinDisguise actual disguise]] is only a fake mustache, he mentions unlikely suspects like an old man or a baby as being the Strangler in disguise. [=SpongeBob=]'s suggestions get even more outlandish.
50	-->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': ''(Pointing at random objects)'' Or that pebble! Or that stick! ''(Pointing at paper near Strangler's foot)'' Or that receipt from the Phony Baloney Mustache Emporium!\
51	'''Strangler''': ''(Flinching before hurriedly snatching it up)'' Uh, that’s mine!
52	** Later on, while still trying to get [=SpongeBob=] alone, the Strangler tries to throw Patrick out of the house after the second party. When [=SpongeBob=] protests that they can trust Patrick, the Strangler insists that they can't take any chances and halfheartedly claims that Patrick could be the Strangler.
53	--->'''[[TheDitz Patrick]]''': [[TheKillerInMe I'M the Strangler?! Oh, I should've known!]] I'm gonna go turn myself in!
54	* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: When [=SpongeBob=] tells the Strangler that he needs to run a few errands, the Strangler tells him to make it quick, to which [=SpongeBob=] replies, "'Quick' is my middle name!"
55	* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: The Strangler wears a PaperThinDisguise consisting only of a fake mustache, and when he hands [=SpongeBob=] his card, we see that he's drawn a mustache on his photo, crossed his name out and written "Bodyguard" underneath.
56	-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Hmm, looks good to me. You're hired!
57	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [=SpongeBob=] is only in this mess because he reported the Strangler for littering. Then again, he spends most of the episode blissfully unaware of who his sudden bodyguard is and accidentally makes him suffer instead.
58	* ObfuscatingStupidity: {{Implied\|Trope}}. For much of the episode, [=SpongeBob=] seems to be convinced that his [[PaperThinDisguise mustachioed "bodyguard"]] isn't the Strangler, but unintentionally puts him through a lot of comic suffering. But at one point, [=SpongeBob=] calls him "Strangler", but then corrects himself with a VerbalBackspace, implying that [=SpongeBob=] knew all along that that was the Strangler. Though, him being horrified when his "bodyguard" points out he's the Strangler (while he's behind bars, no less) otherwise says he genuinely didn't know. [[AmbiguousSituation Then again]], he just as likely could've been doing that to push the Strangler's buttons even further. So, who knows?
59	* OhCrap:
60	** [=SpongeBob=] when he realizes his bodyguard was the Strangler, just after he gets behind bars.
61	** The Strangler just after hearing [=SpongeBob=] was wearing spiky cleats when getting up on him.
62	* OutOfCharacterMoment: In order to emphasize how the Strangler keeps failing, not only do Squidward, Mrs. Puff and Plankton show up to ''both'' of [=SpongeBob=]'s parties, but Squidward is shown clearly having the time of his life.
63	* PaperThinDisguise: The Strangler's disguise consists of a fake handlebar mustache and nothing else. [=SpongeBob=] even notices the price tag and the Strangler's receipt, but is none the wiser.
64	* PoliceAreUseless: Are they ''ever''! Not only does the Strangler escape their custody only about a ''minute'' after apprehending him, but when [=SpongeBob=] asks if the police will provide protection for him, they tell him it's not their job (even though it actually is) and leave him to his fate. They even go so far as to ''tease'' him over it:
65	-->'''Officer Slugfish:''' Give us a call if you see him again, ''tattletale''!
66	* PreferJailToTheProtagonist: By the end of the episode, the Strangler has been driven so crazy by [=SpongeBob=]'s antics that he's actually ''relieved'' to be in jail and away from him. Unfortunately, he finds that Patrick is his cellmate.
67	* RageBreakingPoint: When the Strangler finally explodes and reveals his identity.
68	* RunningGag: The various parties at [=SpongeBob's=] house.
69	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Squidward is there when the Strangler is being arrested and informs [=SpongeBob=] who it is. When [=SpongeBob=] comments on how angry the Strangler looks, Squidward immediately makes himself scarce.
70	* SerialKiller: The Strangler is basically one, but to keep the show's G-rating, he's never shown killing anyone.
71	* SpannerInTheWorks: The Stranger's plan is to kill [=SpongeBob=]. It's a simple plan that is repeatedly ruined by various acts of idiocy from [=SpongeBob=] and his friends.
72	* TakeAThirdOption: [=SpongeBob=] wonders whether the paper towels that say "Best Around" or "Best in Town" are ultimately the better option. The solution? He buys both.
73	* TemptingFate: The Strangler when he ends up in jail.
74	-->'''Strangler:''' At least I'm safe from that yellow idiot.\
75	'''Patrick:''' ''(in the same cell as the Strangler)'' Hey, Mac. ''[[OhCrap (the Strangler turns to face him)]]'' What're you in for?
76	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Trying to get in through the window, the Strangler tells [=SpongeBob=] to climb up his back. [=SpongeBob=] says that'll be easy since he's wearing spiky cleats. The Strangler nervously asks "Cleats?" mere seconds before EyeScream.
77	* ThrowTheDogABone: Squidward, Plankton, and Mrs. Puff, easily the show’s three biggest ChewToy characters who tend to go through lengthy TraumaCongaLine situations in almost every single appearance they have, get to simply attend [=SpongeBob=]’s parties and have fun throughout this episode. This is because the Strangler takes on the CosmicPlaything role for the episode, meaning they get to just join the rest of [=SpongeBob=]’s friends in having fun to drive home the point that he is the only miserable person in this episode. In the scope of the series as a whole, this is a notable BreatherEpisode for all three of them.
78	* VillainousBreakdown: The Strangler is an infamous criminal that terrifies everyone. After almost 11 minutes (or in-universe, a couple of hours for errands, twenty minutes of waiting for a key that had a spare, ''6 hours'' of spiky cleats in his eyes, another couple of hours worth of parties) of [=SpongeBob=]'s various antics, he's reduced to a screaming wreck of a fish begging to go to prison.
79	* WhatAreYouInFor: Patrick asks the Strangler this question at the end of the episode.
80	* YourHeadASplode: After it's revealed that [=SpongeBob=] had a spare key all along, the top of the Strangler's head pops open as a mushroom cloud erupts from his cranium.

85	'''Pranks a Lot'''
86
87	'''Original air date:''' 10/11/2004 ''(produced in 2002; first aired in Canada on 11/19/02)'' [[note]]"[=SpongeBob=] Meets the Strangler" and "Pranks a Lot" were also both released on the ''Seascape Capers'' DVD set on 1/6/04.[[/note]]
88
89	[=SpongeBob=] and Patrick buy some invisible spray and use it to prank their friends.
90	----
91	!!"Pranks a Lot" contains examples of:
92	* ActuallyPrettyFunny:
93	** When Sandy recognizes the boys' voices, she laughs it off as she goes to unmask them until they apparently turn out to be real ghosts.
94	** Mr. Krabs claims this, insisting that since they had a good laugh and he was a prankster back in his youth, he'll let the boys get off easy -- and then he inflicts LaserGuidedKarma on them and then some.
95	* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Mrs. Puff was about to eat '''d'''ouble '''d'''ark '''d'''eep sea light '''d'''iet cake.
96	* AesopAmnesia: Downplayed. The episode has the exact same aesop as "Fools in April" from Season 1, in which [=SpongeBob=] was the victim of the PrankGoneTooFar, while here, he's the perpetrator. Unlike Squidward in that episode, however, [=SpongeBob=] isn't acting out of malice and isn't trying to cause any physical or emotional harm; he's simply getting carried away.
97	* AndADietCoke: Mrs. Puff tries to eat a "double dark deep sea light ''diet'' cake" by herself before the boys eat it out from under her.
98	* ArtisticLicenseBiology:
99	** Patrick's [[YourHeadASplode head explodes]] from chewing explosive gum and a bone, [[StockFemurBone not even a vertebrae]], is exposed. Starfish are invertebrates. But [[RuleOfFunny this is a cartoon]], so it's okay.
100	** Technically, [=SpongeBob=] sprayed Patrick's ''crotch'' when he said, "No guts, no glory!". He already sprayed the guts when he said, "Kinda gives you an ''empty'' feeling, huh?". Then again, as this is a children's show, he can't say "balls" or anything like that.
101	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Sandy becomes [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's first victim, she says that she hears voices, her glass of peanut juice was moved, a lamp she threw away was put back in its place, and there are portraits of Patrick hung up in her hallway.
102	* BedsheetGhost: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick disguise themselves this way to scare Sandy. Sandy knows it's them, but when she pulls the sheets away and sees no one there, she freaks out and launches herself back to Texas.
103	* BehindTheBlack:
104	** Within 10 seconds of entering the Krusty Krab, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick had already glued the doors shut, [[BeyondTheImpossible replaced all the glass with rubber]], and clogged all the toilets to keep Mr. Krabs from escaping.
105	** Five seconds after [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick leave Mr. Krabs behind a closed door, he reappears behind them in a crow's nest... along with everyone the duo had pranked.
106	* BerserkButton: While Krabs doesn't get outright ''angry'' like this trope usually entails, when [=SpongeBob=] tries to burn a dollar, that's when he musters enough courage to try to fight back against the "ghosts".
107	* BigNo: Unsurprisingly, Mr. Krabs lets out one of these when [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick nearly [[{{Greed}} burn a dollar]], before unwittingly exposing the two pranksters with a bucket of water.
108	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Among the things Frank offers [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are: a whoopee cushion, fake vomit, and even ''real'' vomit!
109	* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: '''''We should've bought the whoopee cushion!'''''
110	* DeadlyPrank: Exploding chewing gum ''literally'' [[YourHeadASplode explodes the victim's head]], leaving behind only a bone.
111	* DontExplainTheJoke: {{Discussed\|Trope}} after Frank shocks Patrick with his Joybuzzer.
112	-->'''Patrick:''' I don't get it.\
113	'''Frank:''' You don't ''have'' to get it! The prank is for the enjoyment of the prankster.
114	* EasilyForgiven: Subverted. Mr. Krabs exposes the boys as the Bikini Bottom ghosts, but says they had good laugh and claims he's going to let them off the hook. Then once the boys let their guard down, they're publicly humiliated as revenge.
115	* ElectricJoybuzzer: Frank uses one on Patrick when he shakes his hand:
116	-->'''Frank:''' That's your first lesson, son, the granddaddy of all pranks. The Joybuzzer!
117	* EyePop: When Nat hears an invisible Patrick talking, he freaks out and vamooses the scene as his eyeballs fall out. They then panic and drive off in a boatmobile.
118	-->'''Patrick:''' Oh, the nerve of that guy and his [[{{Pun}} driving eyeballs]]!
119	** This is also portrayed on the newspaper about their antics.
120	* {{Gaslighting}}: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's prank on Sandy initially seems to take this form, with them moving things in her house around without her knowledge and causing her to hear voices with no apparent source. This ends up being subverted, as their real prank was to make her think they were ghosts.
121	* HandOrObjectUnderwear: At the end, when [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are seen nude by everyone, they desperately try to cover their shame.
122	* HurricaneOfPuns: While fighting over the invisible spray, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick exchange a long string of puns.
123	-->'''Patrick:''' ''(sprays [=SpongeBob=]'s hand and it disappears)'' I gotta ''hand'' it to you, [=SpongeBob=]! You look kinda funny!\
124	'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' ''(sprays Patrick, making a hole in the middle of his body)'' Kind of gives you an ''empty'' feeling, huh?\
125	'''Patrick:''' Yeah. ''(sprays one of [=SpongeBob=]'s eyes)'' I ''see'' what you mean!\
126	'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' ''(takes the spray can and sprays Patrick's lower half)'' No ''guts'', no glory!\
127	'''French Narrator:''' [[LamePunReaction Several bad puns later...]]
128	* InvisibilityInk: The invisible spray.
129	* InvisibleJerkass: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick spend most of the episode tormenting everyone and pretending to be ghosts in Bikini Bottom while invisible, all for the sake of their own amusement.
130	* InvisibleMainCharacter: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick spend most of the episode being invisible.
131	* InvisibleStreaker: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick take off their clothes before using the spray to avoid staining them. (Naturally, they end up staining them anyway) When it's washed off, they are caught out in the open for everyone to see.
132	* IronicEcho: [=SpongeBob=] asking Patrick, "Any particular reason you took your pants off?", gets parroted back at him by Mr. Krabs asking, "Any particular reason you boys are naked?"
133	* KarmaHoudini: Mr. Krabs gets away with showing nude [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick on Live Television.
134	* LaserGuidedKarma: After the spray wears off, Mr. Krabs tricks [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick into stepping out naked on stage so that all their victims can laugh at the "Live Nude Pranksters".
135	* LaughWithMe: A non-villainous example. When [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are caught visible by being splashed in water, Mr. Krabs points out that he pulled his share of pranks when he was their age. He then says this trope before he starts laughing, and [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick follow along.
136	-->'''Mr. Krabs:''' Uh, any particular reason you boys are naked?
137	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: After they accidentally spray their clothes invisible, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick and seen by a tour bus, to [=SpongeBob=]'s embarrassment. After the invisible paint comes off, the pair are caught by the entire population of Bikini Bottom.
138	-->'''Mr. Krabs:''' The Krusty Krab presents: "Live Nude Pranksters!" Starring the Bikini Bottom Ghosts!
139	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If [=SpongeBob=] had not gone too far and made the critical error of trying to burn a dollar that belonged to Mr. Krabs, the old crab probably wouldn't have retaliated and exposed him and Patrick as the ghosts.
140	* PassingJudgment: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's joke competition deranges into the two of them roughhousing over a can of paint while being naked. A tour bus drives right beside them and the guide [[TourGuideGag describes what the passengers are seeing]]. When they recover from their brief shock, the passengers start taking pictures.
141	-->'''Fish Tour Guide:''' And on your right, if you look, you'll see two naked guys fighting over a can of paint!
142	* PlotHole:
143	** The whole show takes place underwater! How did the invisible paint stick in the first place?
144	** And how did the paint not come off when [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick were going surfing?
145	** How did the citizens of Bikini Bottom get inside the Krusty Krab to laugh at [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick if the entrance doors were glued shut and all of the glass was replaced with rubber? How did Krabs summon all the townspeople for the spectacle when he was ''just'' with the boys a moment before?
146	** Patrick took his clothes off because the invisible paint stains clothes, but [=SpongeBob=] didn't take his socks and shoes off and yet, it remained unstained.
147	** [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are somehow able to survive inside Sandy's tree dome without water helmets.
148	** How on Earth did Sandy get back from Texas on short enough notice to attend Mr. Krabs' "Live Nude Pranksters" show?
149	* PrankingMontage: The invisible [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick tricking everyone into believing they're being haunted by ghosts.
150	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After becoming convinced she's being haunted by ghosts, Sandy uses an EscapePod to flee back to Texas. She somehow ends up back for the ending.
151	* SeeTheInvisible: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's fun comes to an end when Mr. Krabs throws a bucket of water at them to stop them from burning his dollar, causing the invisible paint to wash off in the process.
152	* ShamSupernatural: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick take advantage of a can of invisible spray and scare the entire town. Then they get the idea to "haunt" Mr. Krabs. They end up regretting it after trying to burn a dollar right in front of the greedy crustacean.
153	* ShoutOut:
154	** [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!"]]
155	* StillGotIt: Mr. Krabs tells [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick he pulled a few pranks [[WhenIWasYourAge when he was young]]. By the looks of the one he pulls on them at the end of the episode, he's not a bit rusty.
156	* SuperWindowJump: To get away from the 'ghosts', Mr. Krabs attempted to smash through the window, but [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick somehow had replaced it with rubber.
157	* TemptingFate: Mr. Krabs brags that he has no fear of ghosts, even showing off various devices used to protect himself from them. Naturally, he's the next one targeted by the "ghosts". Then again, that may have been his plan all along.
158	* ToiletTeleportation: While running from the 'ghosts', Mr. Krabs attempts to jump down the toilet as a last resort, only to find that they had clogged it.
159	* TorsoWithAView: "Kinda gives you an ''empty'' feeling, huh?"/"No ''guts'', no glory!"
160	* TourGuideGag: While [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are naked, a tour bus passes them with the guide saying "And on your right if you look, you'll see two naked guys fighting over a can of paint!"
161	* YourHeadASplode: This happens to Patrick after chewing a piece of [[DeadlyPrank exploding chewing gum]]. [[ArtisticLicenseBiology A large, femur-like bone is exposed afterwards. And he's still able to say that he doesn't get it, despite his lack of a mouth.]]
