Unreal Estate

Original air date: 6/3/2017 (produced in 2016)

Squidward tricks SpongeBob into fearing that he is allergic to his pineapple house and offers to help him find a new home, and trouble ensues.

Unreal Estate contains examples of:

  • Banana Peel: One of the houses Squidward offers to SpongeBob is a giant banana, but he finds he cannot leave the house without slipping on a peel.
  • Evil-Detecting Dog: Gary witnesses Squidward adding pepper to SpongeBob's room, realizing he's behind it all, and attacks him.
  • Fat Slob: SpongeBob becomes one when he is shown living in a chicken Parmesan hero sandwich due to eating parts of the house.
  • Failed a Spot Check: When SpongeBob begins sneezing nonstop, he fails to take notice of the pepper in the cracks of his home, and especially when it sprinkles atop his head.
  • House-Hunting Montage: Squidward acts as a realtor trying to get SpongeBob to move out. He shows him a banana house, a pepper house, and a chicken parmesan hero house. All of them play a variant of the show's introduction, and highlight said house's issues. SpongeBob promptly rejects all three of them.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Squidward is forced to live in Patrick's rock at the end of the episode, which comes after Squidward trying to get SpongeBob to move out and using pepper to make SpongeBob think he's allergic to his pineapple house.
  • Letting the Air out of the Band: Happens when SpongeBob becomes fat up from eating the Chicken Parmesan house.
  • Man on Fire: One of the houses Squidward offers SpongeBob is a giant hot pepper. When SpongeBob emerges from the front door, his whole body is on fire and needs to be put out with a fire extinguisher.
  • Medium Blending: One of the houses Squidward shows SpongeBob is a castle inside an aquarium- which also resides in a seafood restaurant. SpongeBob rejects the house, claiming it to be in a "bad neighborhood".
  • No Ending: The episode ends with SpongeBob, Squidward and Patrick all switching homes, with no explanation how they switched back.
  • Opening Shout-Out: The intro repeats a few times as SpongeBob briefly imagines himself living in a few different houses, but finds something wrong with each of them: the first is a banana (where he slips on a banana peel), followed by a hot pepper (where he comes out on fire), and finally, a chicken Parmesan hero sandwich (where he becomes fat and out of shape). He ends up rejecting all three houses.
  • Pepper Sneeze: Squidward does this by putting pepper all over SpongeBob's house to trick him into thinking he's allergic to his pineapple house. The sponge never found out the truth, but Gary sees him doing it.
  • Plot Allergy: Squidward tricks SpongeBob into believing that he is allergic to his pineapple in order to make him want to move.
  • Shout-Out: When an obese SpongeBob emerges from the chicken parmesan club hero sandwich house, Hans pokes him in the stomach, and he giggles like the Pillsbury Doughboy.
  • Unknown Rival: SpongeBob is unaware his allergies are being caused by Squidward.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: It is unknown whatever became of the pepper Squidward used to trick SpongeBob into thinking he was allergic to his house.


Code Yellow

Original air date: 6/3/2017 (produced in 2016)

Squidward plans to get a nose job at the hospital and SpongeBob decides to tag along.

Code Yellow contains examples of:

  • Black Comedy: SpongeBob performs surgery on Squidward by chopping him up with a spatula, causing him to squirt ink (in place of blood), accidentally pull out his heart, and chopping him up into sushi.
  • Body Horror: SpongeBob chops of Squidward into sushi at one point, and gives him his normal nose back at the cost of his arms and legs.
  • Candy Striper: SpongeBob volunteers as one, and proceeds to eat the candy stripes off his uniform, which causes him to be mistaken for a doctor due to his white uniform.
  • Faint in Shock: One of the doctors faints at the end upon finding out that SpongeBob (who has been performing surgery) isn't a real doctor.
  • Friendly Tickle Torture: SpongeBob tickles a catfish to make him spit out his keys, curing him of his sore throat.
  • Gross-Up Close-Up: A close up of Squidward's nose, showing why he wants a nose job.
  • Instant Sedation: A nurse sedates Squidward before surgery when he tries to protest about SpongeBob performing his surgery.
  • Medium Blending: One of the new nose's SpongeBob gives Squidward is a live-acting squid.
