3Squidward builds a statue of Mr. Krabs.
4
5!! "The Masterpiece" provides examples of:
6
7* AllForNothing: The crew spends almost 24 hours working on a statue of Mr. Krabs, only for it to turn out horribly.
8* CallBack: There's something extremely [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie familiar]] about the way Squidward told Mr. Krabs to pose for his art {{sculpture|s}}.
9* DisproportionateRetribution: [=SpongeBob=] is thrown out of the Sea Chicken Shack just for wearing a headband, which isn't allowed for some reason.
10* HumanJungleGym: The Sea Chicken Shack has a statue of Mr. Sea Chicken for the children to play on while their parents order their food, which gives Mr. Krabs the idea for Squidward to make one of him. Squidward does so, but Mr. Krabs is not happy because Squidward's artistic vision is far too unsafe for the children to play on, so he goes with Plan B, which is painting himself gold and holding absolutely still while the children play on him. He does not enjoy this and asks Squidward how long he has to stay still. Squidward tells Mr. Krabs "As long as you want to keep making money", much to Mr. Krabs' dismay.
11* JerkassHasAPoint: Even though he wanted more customers and money, Mr. Krabs brought up a good point that he can’t let children play on the statue Squidward made because it’s too heavy and dangerous and would get sued by angry parents.
12* LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand: Heard when Squidward reveals the statue.
13* PetTheDog: Even though he cared about money too, Mr. Krabs was also concerned about kids playing on the statue Squidward made because he knows that they could get hurt playing on it.
14* PublicExposure: Mr. Krabs poses nude so Squidward can sculpt a statue in his likeness.
15* SoapWithinAShow: Squidward is watching one at the beginning called "[[Series/AsTheWorldTurns As the Tide Turns]]"
16* ThinkerPose: One of the poses Mr. Krabs suggests when modeling for Squidward.
17* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Squidward's statue of Mr. Krabs comes out grotesque and monstrous, but Squidward justifies it by saying it represents the gaping maw of consumerism.

23Sea Whelks attack Bikini Bottom, covering the citizens in slime before eating them whole.
24
25!! "Whelk Attack" contains examples of:
26
27* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In this case, whelks. The babies were big enough, but their mother was so big she could swallow up the Krusty Krab restaurant and break through Sandy's tree dome. [[spoiler: After they were cleaned from their sickness slime, they all shrink to about Gary's size.]]
28* BadVibrations: Happens right before the sea whelks stampede across [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick.
29* BlatantLies: During the news report on the whelk attack, [[DeadlineNews a whelk comes on screen and eats Johnny Elaine]]. After which, he reports that the newsroom is safe.
30* BodyWipe: Mr. Krabs tries to give Krabby Patties to the whelks. He walks out the Krusty Krab with a plate full of Krabby Patties and walks towards the screen.
31* BullyingADragon: To prove he isn't afraid of the whelks, Patrick walks up to one to blow a raspberry. It just roars back and he starts running.
32* CallBack: While everyone is trapped inside the whelk, [=SpongeBob=] brings up [[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS1E15SleepyTimeSuds the time he had the suds]].
33* ChekhovsGun: At the beginning [=SpongeBob=] absorbs the slime the whelks leave on his and Patrick's bodies. He does this again to help the whelks.
34* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Patrick makes a failed attempt at this with a whelk.
35* EatTheCamera: One of the whelks do this when they're causing havoc in the streets of Bikini Bottom.
36* EverybodyLaughsEnding: At the end, everyone laughs after Squidward gets sneezed on by a baby whelk.
37* EyeScream: Sandy asks [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick to lend her their corneas. They remove their corneas like contact lenses and give them to Sandy, then there's a shot of [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick with ''gaping holes where their pupils should be.''
38* GettingEatenIsHarmless: Everyone who is swallowed by the whelks survives.
39* GivenNameReveal: [=SpongeBob=] reveals that his mother's maiden name is "[=BubbleBottom=]".
40* SkewedPriorities: As usual, Mr. Krabs sees life-threatening danger as an opportunity for profit, trying to sell Krabby Patties to the rampaging whelks. He pays no heed to the danger, only caring about money.
41* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: In order to test if they're not whelks in disguise, Sandy asks [=SpongeBob=] what his mother's maiden name is and [=SpongeBob=] answers "[=BubbleBottom=]". Sandy asks Patrick what his first name is and Patrick doesn't know the answer.
42* StorefrontTelevisionDisplay: Right as [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick wonder what are the creatures that attacked the city, a news program on storefront [=TVs=] that happen to be right besides them reports that the city is attacked by whelks.
