Krusty Krab

Revision as of 14:09, 3 September 2007

The Krusty Krab usually has two employees: SpongeBob SquarePants, the restaurant's fry cook, and Squidward Tentacles, the restaurant's cashier. Both employees have difficulties with working together: Squidward dislikes SpongeBob, and SpongeBob in turn exacerbates any situation that occurs by remaining completely naïve toward Squidward's spiteful attitude (although Squidward appears to dislike SpongeBob, in fact he considers him a friend most of the time, albeit an annoying one). The restaurant's menu consists of the usual fast-food products, with its specialty being Krabby Patties, similar to hamburgers in appearance. Plankton, the owner of the Krusty Krab's rival restaurant, The Chum Bucket is always trying to find out the mystery ingredients of the Krabby Patty. The way to make a Krabby patty is in this order: put a patty on a bun then as followed: mustard, ketchup, lettuce, cheese, onion, tomato, pickles then the top bun. Then the secret ingredient which is a sauce of some kind, which Spongebob yells out in a episode but not revealing the secret ingredient. The recipe for one of these patties was, which was created 800 years ago by King Krabs, viewed in dunces and dragons. King Krab's great great great great great great great great grandson Eugiene H. Krabs and his familly plus Spongebob Squarepants are the only characters that know the secret ingredient. Plankton has numeriously tried to steal the Krabby Patie formula, but when he does succeed, he is given a prank, a wrong formula, and is caught or fooled. But mostly when he tries he is stepped on, flushed down the toilet or he mostly flung on a saucer back to the Chum Bucket(which he owns). The Krabby Patty is the most loved burger in Bikini Bottom, while the Krusty Krab is the most loved restaurant in Bikini Bottom. Unless the patty is grilled at 298 degres fahrenheit, it will not be perfect (as revelaed by Spongebob in the episode Bummer Vacation. Spongebob specialises in drawing faces on the pickels, covering them up and telling them bedtime stories before he gives the patty to the customer like he did in a number of episodes. The Krusty Krab is known for being established to sell the Krabby Patty burger. In one episode, A "nasty patty" was served.This almost put Mr. Krabs out of business. He was later sued and lost 12,000 French Fries.

After the war, Eugene H. Krabs stayed secluded in a deep depression that seemed endless. He inherited his family's secret recipe for the Krabby Patty. Krabs was also a financial wizard, which made his business successful. The building is known to have been converted from a retirement home known as the "Rusty Krab." Krabs merely painted a "K" in front of the word "Rusty," thus leading to the name "Krusty Krab."[1] In 1959, the Chum Famine occurred, which caused Krabs to stop giving breaks to his employees.[2]

The Krusty Krab was almost run out of business from a minor competitor known as the Shell Shack, and once from SpongeBob's short-lived Pretty Patties stand. It also faces continual problems from its main competitor, the Chum Bucket and its owner, Plankton.

Stephen Hillenburg's original name for the Krusty Krab was the "Crusty Crab," but he thought the K's were funnier.

Today, the Krusty Krab uses the latest achievements in fast food technology; "Modernization is the heart of the Krusty Krab.", a slogan from the Krusty Krab Training Video.[1] Some examples of this technology are as follows:

Spatula: An advanced patty-control mechanism. Cash register: An automated money-handling system. Mr. Krabs advises customers to not touch the register. Ice Cubes: Imported high quality temperature devices. Straws: Prototype liquid transfer machines. Ketchup packets: State of the art condiment dispersal units In the episode "Bossy Boots," Mr. Krabs hires Pearl to help the Krusty Krab while she is on summer break. With the help of SpongeBob, she changed the Krusty Krab into the Kuddly Krab. It was a teen hangout restaurant, which sold only tea and salad. The floor was carpeted, and there were stuffed animals and other cuddly knick-knacks as decorations. The business venture failed because Pearl wanted to be fired, as she felt that it cut too much into her social life. SpongeBob took all the decorations home for one year's salary and the Krusty Krab went back to normal.

In the episode "Squilliam Returns," Mr. Krabs lets Squidward temporarily transform the Krusty Krab into a fancy 5-star restaurant. It was created so that Squidward could impress his highly successful unibrowed rival, Squilliam Fancyson. This plan failed due to SpongeBob's loss of memory and subsequent temporary insanity, which caused him to tear up the restaurant.

In the episode Selling Out, Mr. Krabs was offered a large sum of money to sell the Krusty Krab. He accepted the deal and retired. The new management, the Blandy Franchising Company, transformed the Krusty Krab into the Krabby O' Monday's. It was a diner that generated Krabby Patties by machine. However, the secret ingredient was grey sludge. When Mr. Krabs took a job there as a result of retirement-boredom, he found this secret and eventually the diner was destroyed, with Blandy selling it back to Mr. Krabs for full price.

In the episode Krusty Towers, Mr. Krabs transformed the restaurant into a hotel in order to gain more profits. He created the Krusty Towers, which was a 17-story hotel that included an outdoor swimming pool, an indoor swimming pool, a lobby, guest elevator, and an employee elevator (actually a staircase). The hotel was later destroyed when Patrick Star dived into a swimming pool (actually an oversized bathtub) and the swimming pool cracked and burst, destroying the entire tower, with the exception of the top floor (the actual Krusty Krab).

In the episode Krabs a la Mode, the restaurant is converted into an indoor ice rink, and later a swimming pool, all the while keeping its restaurant status.

In the episode The Krusty Sponge, the restaurant is reviewed by food critic Gene Scallop (voiced by movie critic Gene Shallit) and everyone leaves after a scathing review. But after praising SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs renames the restaurant to the "Krusty Sponge" and has SpongeBob-themed rides, napkins, sauces, and the like. The Krabby Patty was also replaced by the Spongey Patty (actually rotten Krabby Patties that Mr. Krabs charged $2.98 for after Squidward told him no one would pay $1.98 for a rotten patty), but it turned the customers into sponge zombies. Mr. Krabs was sued, and was losing until he noticed that the judge was a huge SpongeBob fan. The Krusty Krab was returned to normal, except Squidward was put on train duty.

In the episode Mermaid Man vs. Sponge, Mr. Krabs Made the Krusty Krab Mermaid Man and Barnicle Boy-themed in an attempt thought of by Spongebob to lure in customers.

Like the other buildings in Bikini Bottom, the Krusty Krab does not have a constant floor plan. In most episodes, the Krusty Krab's floor plan consists of the main eating area (front part of building), Mr. Krabs' office (back left of building), bathrooms (back right of building) and the kitchen (back center of building). The kitchen features a back door which leads to the dumpster, a walk-in freezer, and a door leading to Mr. Krabs' office. Next to the restroom there is a storage closet, as seen in Imitation Krabs. In addition, the Krusty Krab has a two-story ceiling. The kitchen, restrooms, and Mr. Krabs' office are all one-story. On top of these three rooms is a storage area, as seen in most episodes. Also, in one episode it was shown that there is a furnace and a Patty Vault in the kitchen which contains a supply of pre-made Krabby Patties. There is also a vat full of tartar sauce in the kitchen in "Imitation Krabs." There is also a safe in Mr. Krabs' office where he keeps the secret formula to the krabby patty. Another difference is in one episode, there is a condiment center. But the later episodes don't feature it when it has those "full main eatery scenes or shots".

In SB-129, the future Krusty Krab has a similar, yet somewhat different layout. The walk-in freezer is still the same, but there is a door to the right of it, which could be the back door. There is a hallway with a can-opener and a time machine, which is behind the far right door. Another door leads to the main eatery area, although it was never shown.

The building's design is based on a New England lobster trap. There is a LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants set based on the Krusty Krab. In the episode, "Bummer Vacation," Spongebob is seen playing with it in his home when missing the Krusty Krab.

In the front, the Krusty Krab has a parking area, even though cars are usually not seen in it, as well as 5 International maritime signal flags on the roof of the Krusty Krab. These flags spell out R, I, (non-existent flag), U, K. In the back of the Krusty Krab, a dumpster is seen in most episodes. (One episode featured the dumpster across the street.) The Krusty Krab is usually open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Saturday, excepting Tuesdays, on which it stays open until 8:00 p.m. On Sundays, the Krusty Krab is usually closed, although in Squid's Day Off it was open on Sunday, but SpongeBob and Squidward forgot to change the "CLOSED" sign to "OPEN" (which left them with no customers). The restaurant was twice open for 24 hours: first occasion shown in the episode Graveyard Shift, and the other for at least 43 days, as a result of Plankton's plan to keep the Chum Bucket open 23 hours a day. It is uncertain how long the streak lasted after the 43 days because Mr. Krabs was too tired to remember. After SpongeBob had a mental breakdown due to exhaustion, and Plankton's plan was thwarted, the Krusty Krab was open for 23 hours a day. It's assumed that the Krusty Krab returned to its usual hours, since later episodes show the employees closing at 6:00 p.m. In "New Digs", a rule is shown that all employees must arrive on the premises and be punched in by 9:00 a.m. There are various ways Mr. Krabs uses to advertise the Krusty Krab. The Company's slogan is "Come spend your money here."

Besides having a large sign nearby the building to advertise to road travelers, the Krusty Krab is featured on billboards throughout Sand Mountain.

Mr. Krabs once filmed a television commercial in order to gain customers. Squidward Tentacles was the director at first, but then Mr. Krabs directed it to save money since Squidward was too expensive. Mr. Krabs got a primetime special to run the 90-second commercial, at 3:28 AM. The commercial featured Pearl (playing Amy) and Squidward (in a wig, playing Jennifer) as teenagers getting their first Krabby Patty served by Mr. Krabs. It only showed SpongeBob's pants by the grill and forehead inside the kitchen window. Even from this, he was excited to be in the commercial. See episode: "As Seen on TV".

Mr. Krabs always tries to find ways to get more customers, by trying to have an addition to the Krusty Krab. His additions are usually cheap and junky. One example is Krabby Land, where kids can have fun. It had a slide (which broke down), hose land (hoses over a stick), and other junky playground equipment. He built it so that kids would come and buy Krabby Patties since they were hanging out at the new playground instead. Another occasion is when he built a wishing well, in order for customers to just "give up their money for a wish." But SpongeBob and Patrick "found the magic" and everyone's wishes came true. In the episode short The Endless Summer, Mr. Krabs attempts to pollute the environment in order for the temperature to rise, thereby having an endless summer. He did this so he could charge people to use the "Krusty Pool." In the episode Driven to Tears, Mr. Krabs transforms the Krusty Krab into a drive-through since Patrick had a new boatmobile (similar to a car.)

Another commercial was made in Mermaid Man vs. Sponge to announce new Mermaid Man-themed Krusty Kids Meals.

Another way Mr. Krabs tries to attract customers is to hold social events in the Krusty Krab. In Culture Shock, Mr. Krabs held "The Squidward Tentacles Talent Show" and in Squirrel Jokes, Mr. Krabs held a comedy show called the Komedy Krab. The food served at the Krusty Krab consists of its specialty, the world-famous Krabby Patty burgers, as well as a host of other meals off the Galley Grub, with food ranging from Kelp Fries to Coral Bits to Diet Dr. Kelp (derived from the Diet Dr Pepper soft drink) and more, including Silly Meals. This is enough evidence that the menu is similar to that of Checkers Drive-In, McDonald's or Burger King/Hungry Jack's. They have also sold pizzas ("Pizza Delivery") and a once-free salad bar (now $1) at times. The Krusty Krab menu is always featured differently in different episodes. The Galley Grub is the menu of the Krusty Krab. The menu is shown differently at times. The menus contain meals, sides, and beverages. The Krabby Patty is present on every menu ever shown. In various other episodes, there are foods and drinks mentioned, but not shown in the Galley Grub. Some of the products are even mentioned more than once, whether or not they are in the Galley Grub.

Krabby Patty Double Krabby Patty Krusty Combo Krusty Deluxe Crying Jonnie Bubble Bass Special Minnow Meal Oyster Skins Fries Seaweed Salad Coral Bits Salty Shakes Dr. Kelp Diet Dr. Kelp The owner of the Krusty Krab has always been Eugene H. Krabs. However, ownership changed in "Patty Hype" when Mr. Krabs gave SpongeBob the restaurant temporarily. In "The Algae's Always Greener," although this was an act of changing time, if Plankton were successful, he would be owner of the Krusty Krab. Howard Blandy bought the Krusty Krab in "Selling Out" but he sold it back to Krabs at the end of the episode The Krusty Krab has had many different employees; some employees have had more than one job at the Krusty Krab. As shown in the episode Krusty Krab Training Video: "Employees are the liver and gall-bladder of the Krusty Krab." There are two types of Employees: good and bad. A good employee is poised, confident, and has a smile on his face that says, “Hello world! May I take your order?” SpongeBob is an example. A bad employee is inattentive, impatient, has a glazed look in the eyes, and wears an “I Really Wish I Weren’t Here Right Now!” button. An example is Squidward. The Krusty Krab has two full-time employees. SpongeBob SquarePants, who is mainly the fry cook, and Squidward Tentacles who is mainly the cashier, Patrick Star has filled in as a janitor from time to time, usually to repay a debt to Mr. Krabs.

Squidward Tentacles is the oldest known employee. He works full-time as the head cashier in most episodes. Squidward was the fry cook in "Bubble Buddy" during SpongeBob's day off, and in "Pickles" when SpongeBob lost his confidence. His on time percentage is twelve percent.

SpongeBob SquarePants is the second oldest known employee. He works full-time as the fry cook of the restaurant. SpongeBob has janitorial duties as well. SpongeBob was a temporary cashier when Squidward was put in charge of the Krusty Krab in "Squid's Day Off". He was hired by Squidward as a waiter in "Squilliam Returns". SpongeBob was the Parking Lot Litter Patrol in SpongeBob Meets the Strangler. He was also the bellhop of the Krusty Towers in "Krusty Towers". He was also the well money-retriever in "Wishing You Well". In addition, he was hired as manager of the Krusty Krab 2 in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. His on time percentage was 100% in "SpongeBob Meets The Strangler, compared to Squidward's 12%. In addition, SpongeBob, as of the movie, had been the Employee of the Month for 374 months straight, or about 31 years. There are ten temporary employees and one whose employment status is unknown. These jobs were available due to increase sales, a change in the actual type of business, and a strike.

Patrick Star joined the "Krusty Krew" as a waiter in the episode "Big Pink Loser," quitting after the episode. He was hired at the Krusty Krab in the episode "Arrgh!," only to be immediately fired. In addition, he was hired by Squidward as a hat-taker in "Squilliam Returns" when Squidward took over the restaurant to impress Squilliam. In "Bummer Vacation," he took over for SpongeBob as fry cook, while he was on vacation. Also In That's No Lady, while disguised as Patricia, Patrick was the waiter/waitress of the Krusty Krab. Sandy Cheeks was recruited by Mr. Krabs as a Krabby Patty chopper for a brief period of time as seen in "Karate Choppers" Pearl Krabs was the idealist for the Krusty Krab in "Bossy Boots". Eugene H. Krabs was hired by Squidward as head cook in "Squilliam Returns," but was found to be a horrible chef, creating a monster appetizer that destroyed the Krusty Krab.Mr. Krabs also worked as a bus boy for the Krabby O' Mondays during retirement King Neptune - After SpongeBob wins the Krabby Patty tournament in "Neptune's Spatula," King Neptune becomes SpongeBob's trainee. Three teenagers were given jobs after SpongeBob and Squidward went on strike, leaving both their positions available. A teenaged fish asked for a job application in "The Graveyard Shift". Jim, also known as the Original Fry Cook In the episode "The Original Fry Cook" and probably retired in between the 1970s - 1990s. Clown worked with the Krusty crew during the filming of the commercial to relieve stress. Karen the Computer once worked at the Krusty Krab in a Spongebob comic, because Plankton was treating her unfairly. Throughout the entire series, the amount Mr. Krabs pays his employees varies. According to SpongeBob in Big Pink Loser, when he started working Mr. Krabs charged him $100 an hour, but when Patrick began working he charged him $50 an hour. It is unclear whether SpongeBob and Squidward get different pay, but in many episodes it is almost clear how much they get paid. In "Squeaky Boots," SpongeBob's paycheck consists of an envelope of money. In "Dying for Pie," Squidward mentions that he gets paid at minimum wage. In "Bossy Boots," when Mr. Krabs attempts to get rid of all the stuff he bought for the Kuddley Krab, he sells them to SpongeBob for one years salary. This includes music, carpet, furniture, and stuffed animals. In "Skill Crane," Mr. Krabs gives SpongeBob and Squidward their paychecks, which consists of an envelope of money for SpongeBob and a bag of quarters for Squidward. In "Bummer Vacation", Mr. Krabs holds up a quarter and SpongeBob says that is more than what he makes in a year. It is confirmed that payday is not on Monday. In Squid on Strike, SpongeBob's salary was to pay Mr. Krabs. At the end of Welcome to the Chum Bucket, SpongeBob said he worked all day for free. The amount that Mr. Krabs pays his employees seemingly decreases throughout the series. This could be a possible money value change in Bikini Bottom or Mr. Krabs becoming more cheap.

It is important to note that SpongeBob's claims in Bummer Vacation that he earns less than a quarter every year have been contradicted at least twice throughout the series. For example, in the episode One Krab's Trash, SpongeBob is able to produce $5.68 in order to buy a soda drinking hat. Also, in Skill Crane, on payday, Mr. Krabs produces a large bag of quarters for Squidward, rather than just the one. Krusty Krab employees have surprise uniform inspections at any given time. The requirements to pass include: Must have nametag on, must be clean, and must be shaven. If an employee does not pass inspection, they have to wear a very stinky boot throughout the entire day. Employees follow a carefully orgainized code, which is known as "POOP:" People Order Our Patties. Employees are required to maintain personal hygiene. They must scrub their hands thoroughly. Get under their fingernails, scrub the knuckles, and have squeaky clean palms. In addition, shoes must be polished, face must be clear of any blemishes or boils, and hair must be neat and tidy. The work station of the employee must be tidy and free of droppings. They need to keep supplies clean and organized. Employees must be aware of an emergency situation. They must watch out for Plankton. In the episode Krusty Krab Training Video, Spongebob runs around destroying everything in a panic while Plankton is about to get away. The Krusty Krab is the most successful restaurant in Bikini Bottom. It usually attracts customers (referred to as "Krustomers") from Bikini Bottom because it's cheap, has the good food, and Mr. Krabs is less cruel than his rival counterpart Sheldon Plankton. It is here where the customer always comes first and it is the customers who keep the restaurant afloat. In fact, there's even a POOP (People Order Our Patties) policy. When King Neptune accused and froze Mr. Krabs, the customers abandoned the restaurant and were lured into the Chum Bucket and then into evil, under the hands of Sheldon Plankton. Plankton also lured customers in by hypnotizing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and making them say they prefer the Chum Bucket in front of the whole Krusty Krab in Mermaid Man vs. Sponge. There have also been times when the customers have abandoned the restaurant due to minor incidents. Regulars here include Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks, Larry Lobster, Mrs. Puff, Scooter the surfer, Fred, Mermaid Man, Barnacle Boy, and others. For employees The Krusty Krab Employee Manual; Second revised edition; page 35; section 19; Clause 3A: All staff must remain on the premises until the day's receipts are fully accounted for. The Krusty Krab Employee Manual; Second revised edition; page 35; section 19; Clause 3B: The proprietor reserves the right to be unfair. Krusty Krab policy clearly states that once the patty has reached the customer, it is his/her responsibility. The customer/money is always right. Think of the customer. For customers Money back guarantee (seen only in microscopic print). At the Krusty Krab, we serve all kinds. No free napkins. No free refills. A standing fee will be given if a customer does not buy anything. Spanish version - Even if you do not buy, we will STILL have you pay. No outside drinks. No exceptions. Enacted in "Best Frenemies." For everyone The Krabby Patty formula is the sole property of the Krusty Krab and is only to be discussed in part or in whole with its creator, Mr. Krabs. Duplication of this formula is punishable by law. Restrictions apply, results may vary. Everyone's money is good here. The Krusty Krab had only one location until Mr. Krabs opened a second restaurant, the Krusty Krab 2, located next to the original. Mr. Krabs was inspired by money, as he has said in an interview with Perch Perkins of the Bikini Bottom News. Mr. Krabs held a grand opening ceremony regarding the opening of this new location. Episodes shown after the movie was released show the Krusty Krab 2 is not there, since the movie takes place after the entire series. The Chum Bucket, owned by Sheldon J. Plankton, a competitor, is across the street. The Krusty Krab is far more successful than the Chum Bucket due primarily to the good food of the Krusty Krab, but also to the cruelty of Plankton to other residents of Bikini Bottom. Plankton has consistently tried to steal the "secret recipe" for the Krabby Patty so as to duplicate it and gain more customers, but he was always unsuccessful, until he gained control of the Krabby Patty secret formula (and the minds of Bikini Bottom's citizens) with his "Plan Z" in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Plankton also lured customers in by hypnotizing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and making them say they prefer the Chum Bucket in front of the whole Krusty Krab in Mermaid Man vs. Sponge. The Shell Shack is mentioned by Tom and Fred in one episode, "Patty Hype," because it has atmosphere and a talking/singing dog. The Shell Shack is likely the Krusty Krab's main competition. A fancy restaurant is featured in a few episodes, yet probably is not to much of a competition to the Krusty Krab because only rich people can afford to eat there, with prices ranging from $100 to $100,000. Howard Blandy Franchising probably have some restaurants throughout Bikini Bottom. In the episode Best Frenemies, another restaurant competed with The Krusty Krab called Kelpshake. The Krusty Krab has been destroyed in fourteen episodes.

Employee of the Month: SpongeBob and Squidward's excessively competitive battle for Employee of the Month leads to them making thousands of Krabby Patties, causing the Krusty Krab to become pressurised, like an aeroplane cabin. Eventually, a massive decompression causes the restaurant to explode. Suds: SpongeBob's case of the suds leads to one massive sneeze near the Krusty Krab, which leaves the restaurant in pieces. Squid on Strike: SpongeBob takes Squidward's advice regarding trade union action too seriously, and "dismantles the establishment." Skill Crane: Squidward was not as skilled with a real crane as he expected. Selling Out: The computer screen that clogged the processed Krabby Patty machine made the restaurant explode. Texas: When Sandy is pulling SpongeBob (and SpongeBob is trying to open the door to the Krusty Krab) the whole front of the Krusty Krab eventually gets pulled off. Spy Buddies: Both the Krusty Krab and the Chum Bucket are destroyed in a war between Mr. Krabs and Plankton near the end of the episode. The Krusty Plate: When Spongebob was washing a dish, he crossed the lasers on his cleaning device and turned it to maximum power, and when Krabs was about to open the door, an explosion took place destroying the restaurant, but the dish was clean. Pat No Pay: Patrick clogs the trash compacter, which explodes, destroying the Krusty Krab. In these episodes, the Krusty Krab is assumed to get destroyed because the entire town gets destroyed.

Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm: An Alaskan bull worm crushes the entire town. Dying for Pie: SpongeBob trips on a rock and throws a pie (which is really a flavored bomb) at Squidward's face. The bomb is about as strong as an atomic bomb, and the entire town is destroyed. Wormy: As Bikini Bottom residents try to escape the "monster," the whole town is mistakenly destroyed by citizens that are attempting to escape Wormy. Mrs. Puff, You're Fired: SpongeBob destroys the entire town with his crazy driving during his boating test. Along with getting destroyed, the Krusty Krab also takes a good amount of abuse in episodes.

Help Wanted: The anchovies run rampant in the Krusty Krab and tear down the beams that support the edifice. Your Shoe's Untied: SpongeBob punches both his feet through the floorboards and drags them to the kitchen in order to avoid Patrick seeing him with his shoes untied. Dying for Pie: Mr. Krabs takes a piece of the aforementioned bomb pie (see above) and trips through a book while on his way to get a glass of milk. The tiny piece destroys a wall in Mr. Krabs's office, injuring himself along with Squidward. Just One Bite: Squidward sneaks into the Krusty Krab late at night to eat Krabby Patties in the Patty Vault. On doing so, he sets off the restaurant's security system (which is a bucket of "water" dropping to the floor). Squidward scoffs at this until he realizes that the liquid is not water, but gasoline. Just then, a robotic hand holding a lit match comes out and drops the match, igniting Squidward and a section of the Krusty Krab. This later happens a second time when Squidward enters the kitchen. This scene was cut out from the episode for reasons unknown(Possibly so that nobody would attempt this). Also, Squidward explodes inside the Patty Vault from eating hundreds of Krabby Patties. Krusty Towers: Patrick does a cannonball in the pool inside Squidward's hotel room and the Krusty Towers implodes pancake-style, leaving only the original Krusty Krab standing. Squilliam Returns: When SpongeBob cannot remember his name, his brain has fine dining overload and he goes crazy, tearing down the decorations in Squidward's "5-star restaurant" and leaving the Krusty Krab a mess. Culture Shock: When Pearl is doing her cheerleading routine, she jumps up and down, causing the Krusty Krab tables to go flying in the air. Krusty Krab Training Video: Plankton enters the Krusty Krab to steal the secret formula. SpongeBob reacts by running around, screaming, and knocking down every table. Employee of the Month: Before getting destroyed by Krabby Patties (see above), Squidward and SpongeBob make a mess of the Krusty Krab first. Big Pink Loser: When Patrick celebrates his accomplishment of removing the lid from a jar, he spikes the jar into the kitchen floor (similar to the way a football player does following a touchdown), making a hole in the floorboards. Squeaky Boots: Mr. Krabs goes to retrieve the boots from under the floorboard. In doing so, he violently lifts the entire Krusty Krab restaurant, finds the boots, and then lets the restaurant slam to the ground. SB-129: When Squidward wants to travel back in time, he uses the future Krusty Krab's time machine. When the time machine departs, a whole chunk of the Krusty Krab is used as the machine. Best Day Ever: The Krusty Krab is condemned due to a nematode infestation. The Algae's Always Greener: All of the people in the restaurant run around tearing things up and knocking over tables when the evil Mr. Krabs comes into the building. Once Bitten: Everyone takes the tables and uses them as a barricade in order to shield themselves from the "zombies". Big Pink Loser: SpongeBob breaks several dishes when he slips on the wet floor. Since Patrick is copying SpongeBob in the episode, he also drops dishes. Krabs a la Mode: Plankton freezes the Krusty Krab and causes damage, until patty skates arrive. Bucket Sweet Bucket: While remodeling the Chum Bucket, Spongebob and Patrick steal parts from the restaurant, even the pipes, which ends with the Chum Bucket being parts for the new Krusty Krab, including Plankton's wife. The Krusty Plate: Spongebob destroys the rear when his tank crashes. Mermaidman vs. Spongebob: Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy walk through the walls, breaking them attacking the restaurant as Plankton's minions.
