Barnacle Face
SpongeBob tries to remove a barnacle from Pearl's face.
Barnacle Face contains examples of:
- Chekhov's Gun: The diamond room in Krabs's house. At the end of the episode, SpongeBob uses diamonds from the exact same room to cover Pearl's barnacles.
- Continuity Snarl: SpongeBob is able to swim in this episode despite previous episodes establishing that he does not know how.
- Cutting Corners: Rather than buy soap or throw out leftover Krabby Patties, Mr. Krabs converts the patties into his own soap, which turns out to be the cause of Pearl's barnacles.
- Distant Reaction Shot: Upon first seeing the barnacle on her face, Pearl screams so loud it reaches most of the high school, and all of Bikini Bottom.
- Foreshadowing:
- Pearl gains more barnacles whenever she washes her face with the soap.
- SpongeBob loves smelling the soap that Pearl washes her face with, saying how "familiar" and "delicious" the fragrance is.
- Gross-Up Close-Up: When Mr. Krabs sees the barnacle, we are treated to a close-up of the barnacle while it oozes.
- Hidden Depths: Pearl apparently knows how to play the piano.
- Insistent Terminology: Mr. Krabs insists he's not making soap out of Krabby Patty grease, but Krabby Patty essence.
- Made of Indestructium: The barnacles on Pearl's face, which break all of the power tools SpongeBob uses to try and take it off.
- Overly Long Scream: Pearl's scream after seeing the barnacle on her face for the first time lasts for 10 whole seconds.
- Rise of Zitboy: Pearl's barnacle is the whale equivalent to a human zit.
- The Scream: Pearl when she sees the barnacle on her face for the first time.
The opposite of a wet watery bath.
Pet Sitter PatPatrick pet-sits Gary while SpongeBob is at his Grandma's birthday party, but Patrick proves to be horrible at such.
Pet Sitter Pat contains examples of:
- Ageless Birthday Episode: SpongeBob is invited to his grandmother's birthday. All was said about her age was "turning...even older".
- An Aesop: Be careful to who you leave your pets or young kids with, they may not be good babysitters.
- Babysitter from Hell: Patrick is portrayed in this light.
- Babysitting Episode: Pet-sitting variant. Patrick has to take care of Gary while SpongeBob is away at his grandmother's birthday party.
- Butt-Monkey: Gary until in the end of the episode where he's reading a book to Patrick.
- Continuity Nod: SpongeBob previously had someone watch Gary in "I Was A Teenage Gary." Also like that episode, Gary is shown to be weak when he is neglected by his pet-sitter.
- Continuity Snarl: Just like the sister episode, SpongeBob is somehow able to swim.
- Easily Forgiven: In spite of being horribly neglected and nearly killed by Patrick, Gary reads him a bedtime story at the end of the episode.
- Fire-Breathing Weapon: Patrick's idea for giving Gary a bath is by using a flamethrower.
- Happy Birthday to You!: SpongeBob sings his own birthday song when bringing out Grandma's cake.
- Hope Spot: Twice.
- Gary is excited when Patrick pulls out a leash and offers to take him on a walk, but Patrick gets hungry and is distracted.
- When Patrick takes out a bag of snail food while preparing Gary's bath, he proceeds to pour it all into the bath water.
- Idiot Houdini: Patrick, for all of the destruction he caused in SpongeBob's house.
- Never My Fault: Patrick takes his anger out on Gary for whatever goes wrong.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The last time SpongeBob calls Patrick, he realizes something is wrong forcing him to cut Grandma's party short and head back home.
- Special Guest: Marion Ross returns as Grandma SquarePants.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: Sure Patrick did cause hell for Gary, and SpongeBob is shocked at all the disasters he saw, but the only good thing about it is Gary is reading a bedtime story for Patrick, which SpongeBob finds cute.
- Took a Level in Dumbass: Patrick, for the umpteenth time.
- Tyop on the Cover: The book titled 'Snail Tails', which actually had the correct spelling on SpongeBob's list of things to do with Gary.
