[edit] Plot
SpongeBob and Patrick discover a swear word scribbled on the Krusty Krab dumpster. Although SpongeBob is unsure of its meaning, Patrick assures him that it is a 'sentence enhancer' that will make them sound "fancy." The two repeat the word incessantly throughout the Krusty Krab, including over the loudspeaker, offending many of the Krusty Krab patrons (the sound the viewing audience hears is the vocalization of a dolphin). However, the two regret their utterings after Mr. Krabs informs them that the word is highly inappropriate, being number eleven in a list of thirteen bad words total. Later, SpongeBob loses a game to Patrick and says the word again. Patrick races to the Krusty Krab to tell Mr. Krabs, but SpongeBob tries to stop him. Patrick reminds SpongeBob of the word he used, actually saying it himself, so SpongeBob runs to tell on him. Mr. Krabs is outraged, and punishes both of them by having to paint the Krusty Krab. While they are painting, Mr. Krabs trips, which hurts his foot, and says all 13 bad words. SpongeBob and Patrick, followed by Mr. Krabs, rush to Mama Krabs' house to tell on Mr. Krabs. In unison, all three begin tattling on one another to Mama Krabs, creating a constant stream of profanity. Mama Krabs, overwhelmed by the barrage of expletives, faints and falls to the ground. Mr. Krabs weeps while pulling money out of his mother's pocket. After regaining consciousness, Mama Krabs tells the group, "If you're going to talk like sailors, then you're going to work like sailors," and puts all three to work painting her house. While watching them paint Mama Krabs hurts herself, and as she begins yelling out in pain, an old-fashioned car horn sound is heard over part of her shouting. The three look at Mama Krabs in shock, thinking that she is using one of the swear words. However they all begin to laugh when they discover that a neighbor was honking the horn of his old jalopy, which happened to correspond exactly with her outburst.
[edit] Cultural References
- "Nematodes are people too" is a reference to another Nick cartoon, Doug, where the Nematode was part of the town of Bluffington's mythos.
- Squidward's quote, "Don't you mean there're only seven?", could be a possible reference on George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say on TV"
- The board game SpongeBob and Patrick play, Eels and Escalators, is a spoof of Snakes and Ladders.
[edit] Trivia/Goofs
- This isn't the first time a Nicktoon has explored the concept of swearing from a comedic standpoint; Rugrats explored it in the episode Word of the Day.
- When Spongebob goes behind the Krusty Krab where the dumpster is, on the dumpster it says "Patchy was here".
- The word they used was the F-word as it is the only word that fits with everything they say.
- If you look closely, you can read the characters lips.
