7----
8!!Krabby Patty Creature Feature contains examples of:
9
10* ActionSurvivor: By the climax of the episode, [=SpongeBob=] ends up being the only citizen in Bikini Bottom not to become a Krabby Patty Creature. As such, he's the one who ends up curing everyone else.
11* BodyHorror: Almost everyone in Bikini Bottom gets turned into a horrifying Krabby Patty monster. And we get to see every grotesque detail of their transformations.
12* EliteZombie: When Bubble Bass turns, he has double the girth, meat and teeth than any of the others. Plankton ends up the inverse.
13* TheEndOrIsIt: Patrick ends the episode by having reverted to his Zombie-Patty self and then trying to infect the viewer.
14* EnemyMine: Plankton was willing to team up with [=SpongeBob=] once he sees the zombie apocalypse for himself, but it's too late when he is distracted by Karen being captured and he himself gets captured as well by Mrs. Puff and turned into one of them.
15* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Patrick is not seen among those being turned back to normal when eating chum, hinting at TheEndOrIsIt.
16* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: As the episode begins to IrisOut at the end, a still-zombified Patrick suddenly appears through it and rips out his eyeball before holding it up the audience and saying "Have some..."
17* IdiotBall: Patrick eating the secret patty ''right after burping it out'' from the chum. [=SpongeBob=] promptly chews him out.
18* LetsMeetTheMeat: All Krabby Patty Creatures want others to eat from their burger-bodies. It's how TheVirus spreads.
19--> '''Krabby Patty Creature''': BITE MY BUNS.
20* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sandy and Mr. Krabs are entirely at fault for the apocalypse. The former for experimenting with Krabby Patties, the latter for trying to use science for his financial gain.
21* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Plankton's chum is what's able to stop the zombie apocalypse as [=SpongeBob=] feeds it to the zombies, allowing them to vomit the zombie patty formula out of their systems.
22* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The Krabby Patty Creatures can sluggishly talk, express themselves and seem vaguely aware of their situation. Also, they're, y'know, giant living burger-fish.
23* ShoutOut: The title is a reference to a generic name used for horror television shows that aired from the 1960s-80s.
24* SkewedPriorities: A police officer is seen on-break in his car when he's warned of the Creatures. He's more annoyed than terrified when three of the Creatures attempt to cap-size his vehicle.
25--> '''Officer''': Aw, come on! Not right now! I'm on my break!
26* SoleSurvivor: [=SpongeBob=], who was the only one not to eat Sandy's new Krabby Patty (see ActionSurvivor, above).
27* TechnicallyLivingZombie: The Creatures are all living beings. Their bodies just undergo burger mutation. After eating Plankton's Chum, they're cured like it never happened. Except for Patrick, who everyone ends up forgetting about.
28* TwoBeingsOneBody: One Creature demonstrates an ability to fuse with a victim after it feeds itself to them in one gulp, re-spawning immediately as a gestalt of both.
29* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Krabs and Sandy's attempts to make a new Krabby Patty secret formula end up transforming the town into the Creatures instead.
30* ViralTransformation: Shown in [[BodyHorror shocking detail]] when Mr. Krabs. Squidward and Sandy end up infected. All of them grow seeds on their backs as their bodies swell or stretch into burger-like forms. Some Creatures later in the episode drool mustard.
31* WouldntHurtAChild: Played with. While the Creatures have no problems infecting and converting a child that falls into their midst, none of them use physical force to do so.
32* ZombieApocalypse: This episode is a parody of this trope, natch.

35'''Teacher's Pests'''
36
37'''Original air date''': 10/21/2017
38
39Mr. Krabs and Plankton have to take boating school classes. Thankfully, [=SpongeBob=]'s there to show them the ropes.
40
41!!Teacher's Pests contains examples of:
42
43* AppleForTeacher: Exaggerated when Mr. Krabs and Plankton force-feed Mrs. Puff various fruits to get on her good side. At one point, Plankton pours a bagful of apple seeds down her throat, resulting in an ''entire apple tree'' growing from inside her.
44* BodyHorror: After [=SpongeBob=], Mr. Krabs, and Plankton are caught in an explosion, they wake up in the hospital where the doctor reveals that due to being unable to determine which body part goes where, the three had been sewn together. Plankton is now replacing one of Mr. Krabs' eyes, and Mr. Krabs' head is sewn to [=SpongeBob=], who's [[EyelessFace missing the top of his head where his eyes normally are]].
45* CallBack:
46** The Good Noodle Board from "New Starfish Student" makes a reappearance.
47** The ending, where [=SpongeBob=], Plankton, and Mr. Krabs are attached together after an explosion, is a reference to the ending of "[=SquidBob=] [=TentaclePants=]", albeit cartoonier and less grotesque.
48* CirclingBirdies: When Mr. Krabs and Plankton complain about wanting Good Noodle stars, a fed up Mrs. Puff shouts, "You want stars? [[IWillShowYouX I'll give you stars!]]" and hits Mr. Krabs and Plankton with a tree, causing them to see circling stars. [=SpongeBob=], deciding he wants some as well, drops a tree on his head until he sees stars and Mrs. Puff takes them away.
49* ClassClown: Mr. Krabs and Plankton both act like one.
50* EveryCarIsAPinto: Or rather, boat. When [=SpongeBob=] announces he's finished the test, his boat lightly brushes the wreckage of Krabs and Plankton's boats, causing a ''nuclear explosion''.
51* ICantBelieveImSayingThis: Mrs. Puff says this when she gets tired of Mr. Krabs and Plankton destroying the boats with their competing.
52--> '''Mrs. Puff:''' Now these are my last boats and if you wreck 'em, none of you will pass my class. I can't believe I'm saying this, but be more like [=SpongeBob=]. He hasn't acted out once.
53* MediumShiftGag: After [=SpongeBob=] lightly crashes his boat into Mr. Krabs and Plankton, it results in a live-action nuclear explosion.
54* OutOfCharacterMoment: Besides the driving safety video and not setting his parking brakes, [=SpongeBob=] was shown being a competent driver in this episode.
55* ReactiveContinuousScream: Plankton and Mr. Krabs when they see [[BodyHorror themselves and SpongeBob stitched together in the hospital]].
56* SeriesContinuityError:
57** Mr. Krabs somehow doesn't recognize Mrs. Puff, despite meeting her in "Krusty Love" and has been secretly dating her for 16 years as of "Whirlybrains".
58** [=SpongeBob=] is shown to have no stars on the Good Noodle board, but in "New Student Starfish", he has loads of stars.
59* ShoutOut:
60** [[KilroyWasHere Kilroy]] can be seen in the title card.
61** Mrs. Puff says "[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis You want stars?! I'll give you stars!]]"
