When Mr. Krabs turns the Krusty Krab kitchen into an open kitchen, a stage fright-stricken SpongeBob invents a new persona, a puppet named ChefBob, that becomes a hit from insulting the Krusty Krab customers and staff.
"ChefBob" provides examples of:
- An Aesop: Be Yourself, which is said by Mr. Krabs, along with don't hide behind a puppet.
- Berserk Button: SpongeBob finally stands up to ChefBob after he horribly insults Squidward.
- Big "SHUT UP!":
- Bottle Episode: The majority of the episode is set inside the Krusty Krab.
- Continuity Nod: This is the second time SpongeBob develops Performance Anxiety after "Oral Report".
- Demonic Dummy: ChefBob becomes this when he starts heckling SpongeBob and his friends.
- Extreme Doormat: SpongeBob acts like one to ChefBob despite the latter being a puppet.
- Faint in Shock: SpongeBob, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs do this when they see that ChefBob has his own show.
- Hand Puppet: ChefBob. Squidward and Mr. Krabs use hand puppets of themselves to "fire" ChefBob.
- Insult Comic: ChefBob becomes this, much to SpongeBob's displeasure.
- Karma Houdini: Played with. At first, ChefBob gets his comeuppance through a beatdown by SpongeBob and getting fired by Mr. Krabs, and taken up to eleven by getting run over by a steamroller. However, this gets double subverted when ChefBob ends up getting his own successful cooking/insult comedy television show, which leaves the Krusty Krew utterly horrified.
- Money Slap: When ChefBob requests bigger accommodations from Mr. Krabs, he refuses to grant them, causing ChefBob to pull out a wad of $100 bills and slap Mr. Krabs across the face with them.ChefBob: What's the matter, Krabs? (flicks Mr. Krabs' nose) Ya' don't like money?! (slaps Mr. Krabs with wad of cash)
Mr. Krabs: (on the verge of tears) What? ...Of course I like money! - One-Episode Fear: SpongeBob has never been afraid to cook for a crowd before, like how he did in "As Seen on TV".
- Performance Anxiety: SpongeBob gets this when he forced to cook in front of everyone, leading him to create ChefBob.
- Reflective Eyes: When ChefBob tries to pin SpongeBob with his spatula, SpongeBob is reflected in ChefBob's eyes.
- Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue...: ChefBob recites his own version of this at two points in the episode.ChefBob: Roses are red, violets are blue, I was born pretty, what happened to you?
- Series Continuity Error: SpongeBob gets stage fright but in other episodes ("Squirrel Jokes" for example), he performs onstage with no problem.
- Shameful Shrinking: Squidward does this after ChefBob humiliates him in front of everyone. Squidward eventually grows back after SpongeBob calls him "one of my best friends" while calling out ChefBob for it.Squidward: That's even more insulting
- Single Tear: After ChefBob insults a customer at his request, the customer laughs in amusement and cries a single tear while smiling, hinting that his feelings were probably hurt.
- The End: The episode ends with curtains that read "THE END" closing over the screen.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Squidward insulting one of the customers is what causes ChefBob to become self-aware and insult everyone for comedy, which SpongeBob doesn't find fun.
