[edit] Plot

Mr. Krabs wakes up, and looks in the mirror as he hears a song on the radio crooning "You're Old." In a satire of a "mid-life crisis", Mr. Krabs begins to worry that he's older than he thought, and asks Pearl if he's still cool. [Pearl] says that no-one says cool anymore, they say 'coral', and that when he says it, it sounds so un-coral. At work, he overhears SpongeBob and Patrick planning a night out, so he joins them. However, they don't do one single cool thing, until the panty raid. Everything goes fine, until Mr. Krabs finds out that he's in his mother's house, and he gets grounded. At least he feels younger.

[edit] Cultural References

• This episode's name is a parody of "mid-life crisis".

[edit] Trivia

• There is a black and white picture (it's an old picture) on Mama Krabs's house that shows an old crab with fancy coat and mustache. Perhaps this is Mr. Krabs's father.
• At the top of the episode, Mr. Krabs hears a song on the radio called "You're Old." The song is sung by writer Martin Olson, who appeared as a live-action character "Chief of the Superheroes" in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V.

[edit] Quotes

• Pearl: Open up. It's time for the pill. (takes out a huge pill and puts it on the table.)

Mr. Krabs: Oh, barnacles! I hate the pill. (Pearl stuffs the pill into his mouth. However, he has no difficulty swallowing it.)

• SpongeBob: Are you feeling it, Mr. Krabs?

Patrick: (camera switches to him) I'm feeling it, SpongeBob.

SpongeBob: (from off-screen) Pat, that's not a ride!

Camera zooms down to show that Patrick is actually riding a customer with a cart.

Customer:Get off of me!!

• Pearl: Morning, Daddy! I made you breakfast today!

(shows pancakes, milk, and fork made from Bran Flakes)

Mr. Krabs: I see you got creative with the bran again.

• (Spongebob, Patrick and Mr. Krabs all sitting in a wading pool)

Spongebob: Are you feeling it Mr. Krabs?

Mr. Krabs: I'm feelin' a warm spot.

Patrick: Sorry.

• Mr. Krabs: Pearl,do you think I'm old?

Pearl: Of course I do! But that's okay. Daddies are supposed to be old.
