1	'''Original air date:''' 11/23/2007
2
3	'''20,000 Patties Under the Sea'''
4
5	Mr. Krabs converts an old submarine into a mobile Krusty Krab, and a jealous Plankton tries the same thing.
6
7	!!"20,000 Patties Under the Sea" contains examples of:
8	* BrattyFoodDemand: The sea monster keeps nagging [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick for more sandwiches. He does the same thing with them when he wants dessert, but he then mistakes Plankton for a chocolate eclair.
9	* TheDogBitesBack: Plankton insults family members one by one, but then they buy rocks (which are burnt Krabby Patties) from the mobile Krusty Krab and throw them at Plankton.
10	* FloweryInsults: Plankton resorts to some pretty colorful insult-slinging when pushed to his limits:
11	-->'''Plankton:''' (''to a little boy'') Aw, come on, kid, you asked me that already, now quit wasting my time!\
12	'''Mom:''' Hey! You can't talk to my son that way! Who do you think you are?\
13	'''Plankton:''' I'm Plankton, you old hag, and your son smells like boogers!\
14	'''Dad:''' Hey! You can't talk to my wife that way! What do you think this is?\
15	'''Plankton:''' I think it's time for you to [[YouAreFat lose some weight, fatty]], ''that's'' what it is!\
16	'''Grandma:''' Hey! You can't talk to my grandson like that! Someone oughta put you in a mental hospital!\
17	'''Plankton:''' Someone should put you in ''[[ImpliedDeathThreat a box floating down the river]]'', '''''grandma!'''''\
18	'''Grandma:''' You're probably right...
19	* GladIThoughtOfIt:
20	-->'''Squidward:''' Well, since you can't bring any customers into the Krusty Krab, have you ever thought about bringing the Krusty Krab to the customers?\
21	'''Mr. Krabs:''' Quiet, Squidward, I'm brainstorming! Ooh, ooh! What if instead of bringing customers to the Krusty Krab, we could bring the Krusty Krab to the customers?
22	* GrowlingGut: This happens with the Sea Monster after eating a lot of chum patties.
23	* LiteralMetaphor:
24	-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Nothing like a little manual labor to put some hair on your chest, eh Patrick?\
25	'''Patrick:''' I'll say! ''(close-up of Patrick's hairy chest, accompanied by monkey noises)''
26	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: All Plankton really manages to do in sinking the mobile Krusty Krab is simultaneously give [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick ''another'' meal idea for the sea monster thanks to the chum flying through the window.
27	* {{Portmanteau}}: After Plankton bombs [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick’s submarine and then crashes his own, a piece of chum flies into a hole in [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's sub:
28	--> '''Patrick''': [=SpongeBob=] look!\
29	'''[=SpongeBob=]''': What is it?\
30	'''Patrick''': It's a liquid!\
31	'''[=SpongeBob=]''': ''(chum goes through hole and lands on bun)'' No, it's a solid, it's a solid!\
32	'''[=SpongeBob=] and Patrick''': ''(in unison)'' It's a ''lolsquid''.
33	* RecycledAnimation: The scene of the jellyfish flying at the beginning is reused from "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS1E3JellyfishingPlankton Jellyfishing]]", and it's glaringly obvious due to the more primitive designs featured in that scene compared to what is shown afterwards. There is also a recycled scene of Plankton's telescope shaking from "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS5E5NewDigsKrabsALaMode Krabs à La Mode]]", although the frame of the telescope is recolored.
34	* ShoutOut: The title is a spoof of the novel ''Literature/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea''.
35	** [=SpongeBob=]'s line "I like Squidward" is clearly a reference to ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', wherein the original repeated line was "I like rape".
36	** When Patrick says, "Ringo" this is a reference to former Beatles drummer Music/RingoStarr.
37	* SpecialGuest: [[Series/GeneSimmonsFamilyJewels Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed]] as the sea monster and the mother Plankton insults, respectively.
38	* StalkerWithoutACrush: This dialogue confirms [=SpongeBob=]'s rather strange obsession with Squidward:
39	-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Bye Squidward! Bye Mr. Krabs! (seductively) Bye, Squidward.\
40	'''Patrick:''' You said 'Bye, Squidward' twice.\
41	'''[=SpongeBob=] (remaining somewhat seductive):''' I ''like'' Squidward...
42	* UnknownRival: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are unaware Plankton is in the same area as they are and is trying to compete with them.
43
44	'''The Battle of Bikini Bottom'''
45
46	[=SpongeBob=] and Patrick end up in an all-out war between clean and dirty.
47
48	No relation to ''[[VideoGame/SpongeBobSquarePantsBattleForBikiniBottom Battle FOR Bikini Bottom]]''.
49
50	!!"The Battle of Bikini Bottom" contains examples of:
51	* AnAesop:
52	** You can disagree with someone over ideals, and it doesn't necessarily mean either side is right or wrong. It can be a matter of opinion and it doesn't always warrant war.
53	** Even with that, it's important to stay clean and healthy.
54	* AnythingButThat: Patrick says this when [=SpongeBob=] gives him a pedicure.
55	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: After the Bikini Bottomites realize that historical reenactments are "lame", they decide to do more manly things like football, hockey...or ''knitting fluffy sweaters''.
56	* BaitAndSwitch: At one point, we see a close-up of a knife on a cutting board, then [=SpongeBob=] says, "Careful, Patrick, I've got a weapon!". He then reaches for something, but not the knife...he [[OnionTears throws raw onions into Patrick's eyes and makes him cry]].
57	* BigNever: By the dirty side in the flashback.
58	* BreathWeapon / YouNeedABreathMint: Patrick's bad breath causes [=SpongeBob=] to literally shatter into tiny pieces. [=SpongeBob=] strikes back by brushing Patrick's rotting and decaying teeth.
59	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Those on the side who are clean wear red uniforms while those who would rather be dirty wear blue uniforms.
60	* EyeScream: When [=SpongeBob=] gets dirty, some of the dirt gets on his eyeballs.
61	* FeudEpisode: Between [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick, over their respective hygiene.
62	* GloveSlap: In the flashback, Patrick's colonial ancestor pulls off ''one of his own hands'' and smacks the guy next to him.
63	* GrossUpCloseUp: This episode has several:
64	** After Patrick's colonial ancestor uses the bathroom, we see a close-up of his unwashed hands.
65	** The various objects sticking to Patrick's chest after [=SpongeBob=] removes his "coat" (actually his outermost layer of skin).
66	** Patrick's dirty toenail before [=SpongeBob=] gives him a pedicure.
67	** Patrick's teeth before [=SpongeBob=] brushes them.
68	** Patrick's hairy armpits before [=SpongeBob=] sprays him with deodorant.
69	** Patrick picking his nose, which is [[MediumShiftGag animated in a hyper-realistic style]].
70	* HighPressureEmotion: [=SpongeBob=] turns red with anger when he sees Patrick's "patty socks".
71	* MediumShiftGag: When we get a [[GrossUpCloseUp close-up]] of Patrick picking his nose, the art-style changes to a hyper-realistic style.
72	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick stop their feud once the former becomes dirty and the latter clean.
73	* NoseNuggets: Patrick threatens [=SpongeBob=] with some of his boogers. As he runs into the Krusty Krab, we get this exchange.
74	-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Run, Mr. Krabs! Patrick is digging for gold!\
75	'''Mr. Krabs:''' [[LiteralMinded Gold?]] [eagerly runs after them, comes back]\
76	'''Squidward:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Did you get any of Patrick's "gold"?]]\
77	'''Mr. Krabs:''' He's not digging for any gold I'm looking for.
78	* OcularGushers:
79	** When Patrick grabs [=SpongeBob's=] eyes, they turn into little bombs and squirt him.
80	** When [=SpongeBob=] throws onions into Patrick's eyes, [[OnionTears you can pretty much guess what happens.]]
81	* RealMenWearPink: At the suggestion of knitting fluffy sweaters, there is a beat, before the rest of war reenactors agree enthusiastically.
82	* SeriesContinuityError: Patrick says he doesn't wash his hands or brush his teeth, but a few older episodes confirm otherwise.
83	* SillyReasonForWar: According to Patrick, the Battle of Bikini Bottom was fought over whether it was right to be clean or dirty. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in that the reenactment society said after hearing this that Patrick was being an UnreliableNarrator.
84	* SmellyFeetGag: Complete with a GrossUpCloseUp of Patrick's dirty toenail.
85	* SuddenAnatomy: Patrick is shown to have toenails, and [=SpongeBob=] lampshades the fact that Patrick has no nose. Then, of course, Patrick grows a nose and picks it.
86	* SuddenEyeColor: When Patrick becomes clean, his eyes turn blue.
87	* WarReenactors: The plot begins when [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick run into reenactors for the titular battle.
88	* WordSchmord: "Booger schmooger, you don't even have a nose!"
