Moving Bubble Bass
Original air date: 3/16/2018 (produced in 2017)
SpongeBob and Patrick help Bubble Bass move out of his mother's basement.
Moving Bubble Bass contains examples of:
- Basement-Dweller: Bubble Bass is revealed to have been living in his mother's basement. The episode's events center around him moving out of his mother's basement in order to live with his grandmother; by moving into her basement.
- The Cake Is a Lie: Bubble Bass offers Spongebob and Patrick his lunch if they will move his stuff to his new house. By the time Spongebob and Patrick have finished moving the furniture, Bubble Bass weasels out of the deal, eating the lunches he promised Spongebob and Patrick. Given he was playing them from the start, it's obvious Bubble Bass never intended to give them the food.
- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Everything bad that happens to Bubble Bass in this episode is completely his fault. Faced with the hard work of moving out? Could've been avoided if he had been a decent son and done requested chores and not thrown a fit when asked to do them. All of his possessions have been ruined? Could've been avoided if he had not been too lazy to pack them and move them himself, or at least with SpongeBob and Patrick's help. The only thing that's not his fault was how his mother got packed into his boxes, and by then, he's certainly earned a good thrashing for scamming his movers.
- A Day in the Limelight: For Bubble Bass, the picky customer from "Pickles". Subverted, as the episode mostly focuses on SpongeBob and Patrick moving his furniture, rather than Bubble Bass himself.
- Disproportionate Reward: Bubble Bass's reward he offers to SpongeBob and Patrick is a free lunch of Krabby Patties. It's a little palatable when they are set to help Bubble Bass move his stuff, but it loses water after he tricks them into packing and moving his stuff for him. It's only because of Patrick's big appetite and SpongeBob's naivete that they agree to help him. Even then, SpongeBob presumably would've made the fresh patties himself, meaning they're eating the fruits of his labor already, and as he notes at the end of the episode, he can easily make him and Patrick more food himself.
- Dope Slap: SpongeBob nails Patrick with one after the latter gets distracted by the idea of Bubble Bass' free lunch one too many times.
- Failed a Spot Check: SpongeBob and Patrick both fail to notice Bubble Bass' house right across the bridge from them, even though Bubble Bass himself is clearly waiting outside for them.
- Fan Disservice: Particular attention is paid on Bubble Bass's jiggling rump as he goes up his stairs after successfully tricking the boys into moving his stuff alone.
- Fat Bastard: Bubble Bass is as corpulent as ever, and he is nothing but unpleasant to everyone around him.
- Food as Bribe: Bubble Bass promises a free lunch for SpongeBob and Patrick if they help him move out. He eats it while they're away moving his stuff, and he probably never intended to give it to them in the first place.
- Hidden Depths:
- The start of the episode reveals that Bubble Bass fantasizes about having his own talk show called Snark Chat with Bubble Bass.
- In a Freeze-Frame Bonus moment, during the scene where Patrick packs away Bubble Bass' toilet, a picture on the wall reveals that Bubble Bass has graduated from university.
- Ignored Epiphany: Subverted. Bubble Bass gets the impetus to move out of his mother's house to seemingly start his own life somewhere else. But it's only because he doesn't want to do simple chores like taking out the trash, which is something he'll inevitably have to do anywhere he lives. Furthermore, he decides he's going to move into his grandmother's basement, which is even more pathetic than how he was a lazy Basement-Dweller at his mother's house.
- Jerkass:
- Bubble Bass, due to tricking SpongeBob and Patrick into moving his furniture, and eating the lunches he promised the two. Laser-Guided Karma gets him in the end.
- Lady Upturn refuses to move a few feet in order to let SpongeBob and Patrick pass.
- Laser-Guided Karma:
- Bubble Bass promises SpongeBob and Patrick free lunches as rewards for helping him move; Bubble Bass soon fakes breaking his back to make the duo do the heavy lifting for him, and he later eats the lunches he promised them. SpongeBob and Patrick inadvertently destroy several of Bubble Bass' belongings while packing them up, ruins his mother's house, and accidentally pack his mother with his belongings, who then packs him into a box and starts ramming him into stuff as payback for what she had to endure.
- After Lady Upturn steps on Patrick and leaves her high-heel in his mouth, she is soon flattened by Bubble Bass' furniture, giving Patrick the opportunity to step on her and leave her high-heel in her mouth.
- Lazy Bum: The plot is kicked off when Bubble Bass refuses to take out the trash for his mother for the umpteenth time. Bubble Bass then recruits and cons SpongeBob and Patrick into moving all his things across town, unwilling to put in the hard work to do it himself or even just with their assistance.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: SpongeBob and Patrick leave Bubble Bass's grandmother's house thinking that Bubble Bass has won, having eaten their lunches and having gotten his things moved for free, even after Patrick violently threatens Bass into submission. However, once the boys leave, Bubble Bass's mother erupts from his belongings and proceeds to take her revenge, and Bubble Bass will inevitably discover his things were ruined anyway.
- Kick the Dog: After risking life and limb to move Bubble Bass' furniture to his grandmother's house, SpongeBob and Patrick find out that the lunches promised to them were eaten by Bubble Bass.
- Mundane Made Awesome: SpongeBob and Patrick show how moving someone's furniture can become quite an adventure.
- Oh, Crap!: Many.
- SpongeBob and Patrick have several over the course of the episode, from losing control of Bubble Bass' furniture and barely stopping it from crashing into traffic to the bridge falling apart while the babies and Lady Upturn weigh the bridge's rope down.
- Lady Upturn, when she realises that Bubble Bass' furniture is about to run her over.
- Bubble Bass has one when he realises that his mother was part of the furniture that SpongeBob and Patrick packed up.
- Rich Bitch: Lady Upturn.
- 6 Is 9: The address Bubble Bass gave SpongeBob and Patrick was house #166, but because they were holding the paper upside down, they mistake house #991 for the proper address, much to the chagrin of the house's owner.
- Sudden Name Change: The rich fish was called Ms. Mildred when she was introduced; now her name is Lady Upturn the 333rd.
- Synchro-Vox: Happens when Patrick threatens Bubble Bass after the latter reveals that he ate the lunches he promised.Patrick: If my friend SpongeBob doesn't get his free lunch, (sudden live-action face closeup) THINGS ARE GONNA GET CRAZY.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: While Lady Upturn did show some signs of snobbishness in "Krusty Katering", she was never outright mean. In this episode, she is so full of herself that she refuses to move a few feet in order to let SpongeBob and Patrick pass.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Bubble Bass fakes breaking his back in order to make SpongeBob and Patrick do all the dirty work for him.
