Giant Squidward
Original air date: 6/3/2008 (produced in 2007)
SpongeBob and Patrick's frivolous playing with Squidward's plant spray turns the latter into... well, a giant.
Giant Squidward provides examples of...
- Agony of the Feet: One of the ways the Bikini Bottomites attack Giant Squidward is by slinging a rake on his foot.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: When the Bikini Bottomites attack Squidward, they use a giant slingshot rake that pierces his foot. They then set up a giant rake that Squidward backs into and causes him to fall over. Then one guy puts lipstick on Squidward's lips.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Squidward when he gets sprayed with his own kelp grow.
- Bittersweet Ending: Played with. While Squidward does end up losing his kelp garden, he did get to enjoy his giant clarinet as an apology gift...until he shrinks again. Either way, at least he is back to normal and is safe from being hunted down.
- Blatant Lies: "I'm a lamp post".
- Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs:Patrick: We made you a monster!
SpongeBob: And a giant!
SpongeBob and Patrick: A giant monster! - Butt-Monkey: Squidward, naturally.
- Chased Off into the Sunset: The episode ends with Squidward chasing SpongeBob and Patrick who used his kelp to make the clarinet.
- Chekhov's Gun: SpongeBob and Patrick use Squidward's kelp to make a kelp mâché clarinet to turn him back to normal.
- Disproportionate Retribution: After proving to be nice, the townsfolk all attempt to kill Squidward all because he didn’t say bless you to a fish who sneezed.
- Furry Reminder: Squidward inks when SpongeBob and Patrick deform him with plant growth.
- Genius Bruiser: While he's only out to "bruise" SpongeBob and Patrick, Squidward completely fools the other fish with "Uh, I'm a lamp post".
- Gentle Giant: Played with. The citizens of Bikini Bottom don't recognize their own neighbor and think he's a "monster", but a little boy insists he's this and so Squidward has to do helpful things in order to win their favor. Only when he doesn't say "bless you" when a fish sneezes do the citizens turn hostile again.
- Giant Squid: Squidward becomes a giant, but doesn't really play into that monster stereotype, though the Bikini Bottom residents say otherwise.
- Informed Kindness: The townspeople ask Squidward if he is a friendly giant like the one in a little boy's storybook. When SpongeBob and Patrick tell them that he is and ask him to name instances, Squidward yells at them.SpongeBob: Squidward is the nicest giant of them all.Patrick: Hey, Squidward. Tell them about the time when you didn't punch me in the face.SpongeBob: Even though you really wanted to.Squidward: OH, QUIET, YOU MORONS!!!
- Lack of Empathy: Downplayed with Squidward. Not that the townspeople weren't still overreacting, but it's one reason why he wouldn't immediately know to say "bless you" to a sneezing fish.
- Lame Pun Reaction: "There you go, Mr. Krabs. You always wanted to make..."big money"! (Cue live action audience jeering)
- Law of Disproportionate Response: The citizens of Bikini Bottom convert back to angry mob mode when Squidward doesn't say "bless you" to a sneezing fish.
- My God, What Have We Done?: SpongeBob and Patrick feel guilty about what they've done for once.
- Rake Take: The Bikini Bottomites attack Squidward by setting up a giant rake for Squidward to back into and fall over...after using another rake to pierce his foot.
- Shout-Out: A character growing to absurd degrees due to being sprayed with stuff meant for plants is the same in King Size Canary though Squidward doesn't get fatter.
- The scene of Squidward growing giant is similar to the scene of Ursula growing giant in The Little Mermaid (1989).
- Squidward being tied to the ground by the Bikini Bottomites is a reference to Gulliver's Travels.
- Sudden Anatomy: Squidward has toenails again for a brief moment.
- Torches and Pitchforks: Played with three times by the citizens of Bikini Bottom. First, they surround Squidward for chasing SpongeBob and Patrick until a kid assumes he's a nice monster. Second, Squidward yells at SpongeBob and they start torturing him until he proves to be a nice monster. Lastly, they chase him out of town after he didn't say "bless you" to one of the fish who sneezed.
- Ungrateful Townsfolk: After everything Squidward did for them, the Bikini Bottomites want to kill Squidward just for forgetting to say "bless you."
- Yank the Dog's Chain: When SpongeBob and Patrick give Squidward a giant clarinet, he actually plays it well...until he shrinks and discovers that they used up all his kelp to make a kelp-mâché clarinet.
