5
6	Plankton gives Karen a birthday gift: tango lessons for the both of them. Plankton is able to overcome his small size with a leg-lengthening invention, but what will it take for them to become top of the class?
7
8	!! "Tango Tangle" contains examples of:
9
10	* AlliterativeTitle: '''Tang'''o '''Tang'''le.
11	* AsYouKnow: Plankton and Karen have some unnatural exposition on what Ray-Ray is and why Plankton becoming him will help, coupled with [[PlayedForLaughs them looking at the camera with goofy expressions]].
12	* BirthdayEpisode: The episode takes place on Karen's birthday.
13	* BodyHorror: In order to keep himself from being stepped on by other dancers, Plankton uses a device that stretches his legs through a series of cogs, which is ''extremely'' painful for Plankton.
14	* BorrowedCatchphrase: Defied. After Plankton's tall legs are saw all the way down, Plankton is about to shout "My Leg!" until Fred suddenly shows up and covers Plankton's mouth so he can shout his [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrase]].
15	* HiddenDepths: [[FatSlob Bubble Bass]] of all people is an excellent tango dancer, having won tango competitions with his mother for three years in a row.
16	* KindnessBall: Plankton and Karen are HappilyMarried in contrast to their usual AwfulWeddedLife. Plankton doesn't need any external motivation to be nice to her, and dancing is something they genuinely love doing together. Even though they do get aggressive during the dance, it's encouraged by their instructor and everyone takes it in good fun.
17	* ManOnFire: Plankton uses himself as the candle for Karen's birthday cake. But when the flame burns all the way down his antennas, his whole body catches fire, and he runs around screaming until Karen puts him out in the cake frosting.
18	* SlasherSmile: Both Plankton and Karen sport one when they learn that tango requires aggression, which results in them sabotaging the other dancers while they dance.
19	* SpecialGuest: Creator/RosiePerez is Suzie Groove, Plankton and Karen's tango instructor.
20	* SynchroVox: Happens when Plankton believes that tango requires ''lips'' rather than hips.

28	Mr. Krabs decides to start selling breakfast at the Krusty Krab. But [=SpongeBob=]'s breakfast cookbook gets mixed up with an eldritch spellbook, creating dishes with unintended side effects.
29
30	!! "Necro-Nom-Nom-Nom-I-Con" contains examples of:
31	* CrazyPrepared: Mr. Krabs has all the unusual ingredients that [=SpongeBob=] asks for from the spellbook.
32	--> '''Mr. Krabs''': What? I can't pass up a sale.
33	* HereWeGoAgain: At the end of the episode, Mr. Krabs says that rather than sending [=SpongeBob=], he went to pick up the cookbook himself. Turns out he ''also'' got a spellbook, with imminent danger for the Krusty Krab.
34	* ILoveTheDead: One of the spells in the spellbook is titled "The Undead and You", which shows a fish running with a skeleton in a bikini.
35	* NonIndicativeName: The Evil Witch isn't actually evil at all. She lends [=SpongeBob=] her magic to help save the Krusty Krab and even offers to let him be her apprentice afterwards.
36	* OneNoteCook: [=SpongeBob=] is only used to making Krabby Patties. When he tries to make breakfast, he makes pancakes that taste exactly like Krabby Patties. Mr. Krabs sends him to get a breakfast cookbook to expand his selection.
37	* OverlyLongGag: The bookstore clerk spends 20 seconds looking back and forth between two books, [[RuleOfFunny even though it's obvious which is which]]. He does it ''again'' not even a minute later, when there's only one book.
