Stuck on the Roof
Original air date: 11/6/2017
SpongeBob struggles to live his life once his fear of heights prevents him from getting off the roof.
Stuck on the Roof contains examples of:
- An Aesop: Don't confine yourself to one location otherwise you'll miss out on everything.
- Arduous Descent to Terra Firma: Due to an accident involving the fall of a Krabby Patty SpongeBob intended to retrieve from the roof of the Krusty Krab (plus Mr. Krabs' anger due to SpongeBob's fall also resulting in nearby people being filled with ketchup), he develops a fear of heights and becomes unable to come back down. Patrick and Sandy employ different methods to attempt to help him return to the ground but fail miserably. SpongeBob spends much of the night yearning for his good moments with friends. He later builds a new dining room (which attracts the customers placed below), but a rainstorm occurs and many people get blown off of the roof. He builds a new Krusty Krab on top of the old one to give shelter to the customers and entertains those getting bored with a dance he learned earlier in the episode. Finally, due to a massive erosion caused by the rain, the floor sinks the old Krusty Krab and lowers the new one to level ground, effectively allowing SpongeBob and company to leave the old building's roof (as it is level ground now).
- Buried Alive: Squidward is still in the old Krusty Krab when it gets pushed underground by the new one.
- Butt-Monkey: Squidward isn't an incredibly lucky character in this episode. He explodes due to Sandy accidentally kicking him, gets frightened when SpongeBob's giant finger shadows are in his house, and he's still in the original Krusty Krab when it sinks underground.
- Chekhov's Skill: When the customers are about to leave, SpongeBob starts a dance party to the same music he danced to at the beginning. The dancing helps the new Krusty Krab fall back to the ground.
- Cue the Rain: Mr. Krabs turns the roof into an outdoor dining area to accommodate SpongeBob working from the roof, but then a wind storm picks up, and then rain starts pouring.
- Facial Horror: When the krabby patty gets sucked up the chimney, SpongeBob tries to reach it by standing on Squidward's head, pressing his face onto the hot grill. When he finally gets up, Squidward's face is peeled off and is stuck on the grill.
- Lampshade Hanging: When a rain storm starts while everyone is on the roof, Fred starts to say, "Rain? But we're under-" before being blown away by the wind.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Fred does this by pointing out the fact that it is impossible to have rain underwater. Patrick did something similar in "Life of Crime" by questioning the possibility of having fire underwater.
- Oh, Crap!: Squidward, when he sees the shadows of SpongeBob's giant fingers in his house.
- One-Episode Fear: This is the only episode in which SpongeBob is afraid of heights.
- Shaking the Rump: SpongeBob does this while dancing.
- Unsatisfiable Customer: SpongeBob being stuck on the roof causes complaints for the customer. He manages to get the krabby patties to the customers, but then they complain they're too cold. They solve the problem by going up to the roof to get them fresh off the grill, but then it starts to rain. SpongeBob helps them by building an entirely new Krusty Krab for shelter, but then the customers complain that it defeats the purpose of eating outside and try to leave.
- Vertigo Effect: Used when SpongeBob is looking down over the Krusty Krab from the roof to show just how high up he is and how scary it seems.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Sandy disappears from the episode after she fails to rescue SpongeBob with her "extendo-boots."
