13* {{Foreshadowing}}: When the krabby patty is in the mouth of the Goofy Goober mascot, the latter is clearly struggling to get it out of his mouth, hinting the patty's desire to be eaten.

16* TerribleIntervieweesMontage: Occurs when [=SpongeBob=] tries to help the Krabby Patty find the perfect person to eat him.

17* UnfulfilledPurposeMisery: In a twist, the Krabby Patty actually ''wants'' to be eaten, seeing it as his life's purpose, and is very unamused with [=SpongeBob=]'s attempts to save him. He gets his wish at the end of the episode when he is eaten by Gary.

21'''Krabby Patty''': Oh, I've gotta say, it hasn't been what I thought. No matter ''how'' many times I jump in someone's mouth, they still won't swallow me.\
22'''[=SpongeBob=]''': ({{Beat}}) [[DelayedReaction WAIT!]] You were jumping into their mouths ''on purpose''!?
23* YouNeedABreathMint: The Krabby Patty rejects being eaten by Bubble Bass due to his bad breath.
