Momageddon

Original air date: February 14, 2024

The Krusty Krew become lazy after their moms take over the Krusty Krab.

"Momageddon" contains examples of:

  • Basement-Dweller: The Krusty Krew take up residence in the Krusty Krab basement after Bubble Bass teaches them how to live off their moms.
  • Call-Back: Bubble Bass mentions that one of the things he likes to do is complaining on the internet, which we see him do in The Patrick Star Show episode "Bubble Bass Reviews".
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: When SpongeBob, Squidward, and Krabs are playing a video game, SpongeBob's controller isn't plugged in to the console.
  • Here We Go Again!: By the end when their mothers leave, the Krusty Krew's fathers take over the Krusty Krab since its "Bring Your Father to Work Day".
  • Out-of-Character Moment: SpongeBob, a known Workaholic who loves his job, flat-out admits to not making his food with love.
    SpongeBob: My mom doesn't understand fast food—not the way I do. Her cooking takes forever, because she adds love.
  • Portmantitle: Of "mom" and "armageddon".
  • Shout-Out: The videogame SpongeBob plays is a parody of BurgerTime.
  • "Take Your Child to Work Day" Plot: Inverted. It's "Bring Your Mom to Work Day", and SpongeBob's mother takes his place in the kitchen while Squidward's and Krabs's mothers nag them about how they do their jobs.
  • You Don't Look Like You: Squidward's mother has a different design in this episode, likely because her previous design ended up being reused for his grandmother on The Patrick Star Show.

Pet the Rock

Original air date: February 14, 2024

After Patrick gets a new pet rock, it quickly becomes the target of a rock collector.

"Pet the Rock" contains examples of:

  • Bait-and-Switch: Patrick looks in an aquarium at a pet and excitedly claims he knows what he wants to get. The next scene, he's dragging a rock on a leash, since the rock was one of the decorations in the aquarium.
  • Continuity Cavalcade:
    • The pets seen in the pet store all come from previous episodes.
    • Patrick's house is full of items from previous episodes.
  • Cross-Referenced Titles: The title references "Pat the Horse" from season 11 and "Pat the Dog" from season 13.
  • Extreme Omnivore: Patrick likes the taste of dry cement.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Percival spends the entire episode trying to steal Patrick's rock to crack it open and get what's inside. When the rock turns out to be an egg and hatches into a dragon, it swallows Percival in one gulp.
  • Special Guest: Malcolm McDowell as Percival.
  • Split-Screen Phone Call: A black line running down the screen shows SpongeBob and Patrick calling from their respective houses.
  • Unknown Rival: Patrick has no idea that Percival is actually after his rock. He just thinks Percival wants to play with Rolly at the pet park, doesn't notice him when he crushes him downtown, and doesn't recognize Percival's Paper-Thin Disguise at the rock groomer.
  • Water Is Air: To feed his pet rock, Patrick has to pour water on concrete so it hardens. He takes out a glass and swishes it in the middle of the air to fill it with water.
