SpongeBob: ... and what I wanted to say was that a Krabby Patty doesn't make itself, because there's a secret formula that only Mr. Krabs and I know and Plankton would like to know, but he doesn't know..
The fish who Squidward tries to serve the rancid Krabby Patty to doing backflips out the restaurant after smelling the horrible patty.
Never Live It Down: Mr. Krabs selling SpongeBob to the Flying Dutchman for 62 cents is constantly brought up in YouTube comments for SpongeBob videos, even when it's irrelevant to the video's topic.
Squick: Mr. Krabs trying to serve a rancid Krabby Patty. To prove it's still good, he eats it.
Strawman Has a Point: Mr. Krabs may have a cheap lifestyle, but it's implied to be what's keeping him from going bankrupt, so the Flying Dutchman has basically doomed him no matter what he does. To be fair though, the Dutchman never said Krabs had to be exceedingly generous, so much as simply not a cheapskate.
Woolseyism: In the German dub, the fake name Mr. Krabs gives the Flying Dutchman is changed from "Harold Flower" to "Benjamin Blümchen"; not only does this still fit the Line-of-Sight Alias nature of the English version's name (as "blümchen" means "blossom" in German), but it also doubles as an Actor Allusion, as Jürgen Kluckert, who voiced Mr. Krabs in the German dub, was also the second voice of Benjamin.
I Had An Accident
Bizarro Episode: SpongeBob breaking his butt and becoming a recluse is certainly out there but that's nothing compared to what happens in the final minutes. Patrick and Sandy try to get SpongeBob out of his house but a live-action gorilla beats them up and rides away on a pantomime horse when SpongeBob invokes Fridge Logic regarding a gorilla being underwater. The episode ends with a live-action family seeing the end of the episode looking quizzically at the camera before turning off the TV in disgust.
Broken Base: While it has its admirers, the reception among fans regarding this episode is somewhat polarizing, mostly due to its bizarre ending.
