Plot

Mr. Krabs finishes painting a sign that says that the Krusty Krab is going to be open from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm. Naturally Squidward is furious and SpongeBob is furious too, but only because he wants to start working earlier. He sees Plankton's sign on the Chum Bucket that says 'Chum Bucket open 23 hours'. Mr. Krabs makes the Krusty Krab open 24 hours. When Squidward hears it, he complains but SpongeBob is delighted. Mr. Krabs rings a bell and announces the number day it is of the non-stop service each day. Days later, Plankton calls and orders thousands of Krabby Patties. Each day SpongeBob makes patties and counts the patties. As the days go on different scenes fly across the screen including Old Man Jenkins saying "Hey, what the..." SpongeBob can't do it and begins to think that everyone is a Krabby Patty. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to see a psychiatrist. SpongeBob goes to the Chum Bucket because it says 'Dr. P. Lankton: Psychiatrist, specializing in Krabby Patty phobias'. Plankton tries to make SpongeBob say the Krabby Patty formula including arranging names of common kitchen ingredients, but not all methods work. Finally, Plankton hypnotizes SpongeBob and tells him to say the Krabby Patty formula when he wakes up. However, SpongeBob doesn't wake up when Plankton tells him to. SpongeBob is dreaming about a Krabby Patty. It gives him a cookie pizza and some chocolate milk so SpongeBob is not scared of Krabby Patties anymore. He wakes up, thanks Plankton and runs to the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that the Krusty Krab will be open for 23 hours. After that, the episode ends.

Trivia/Goofs

• This is the first episode in 2005, and after The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
• Many fans believe this was the episode that started the show's decline in quality.
• Ever since this episode and the movie, SpongeBob's voice has gotten much higher pitched.
• What happened to the 10,000 patties Plankton ordered? If they were delivered to the disguised Chum Bucket, Plankton could analyze them to find out the secret formula.
• When the giant Krabby Patty in SpongeBob's dream says "I'll always be with you...right here" it pokes SpongeBob in the chest. You will also see that its finger is lit up. This is a reference to the movie E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, because E.T. did the same thing to Elliot in the movie.
• This is the first episode where things float across the screen to show time passage. A similar one is featured in Skill Crane.
• Why would Mr. Krabs think Plankton was a spider? Spiders hang on web not on rope. Spiders occasionally hang on one web line.
• This is the second episode for the Krusty Krab to be open 24 hours. The first is Graveyard Shift
• How would SpongeBob not know that the doctor's office is the Chum Bucket? Same with Plankton, he doesn't know Plankton's the doctor.
• As SpongeBob enters the Chum Bucket for treatment, we see him walk by the menu. In the next shot we see that he still has not walked passed the menu.
• If SpongeBob has a fear of Krabby Patties, then why didn't he get scared of the picture of it on the paper telling him to go to Dr. P. Lankton? Maybe he didn't look at it.
• How can SpongeBob be afraid of Krabby Patties just by getting not much sleep? Maybe his dreams keep him loving them.
• In one scene Mr. Krabs paints the new hours of the Krusty Krab, later he changes it using a pencil.
• The gray-colored pencil to colors gag was used on this episode.
• The opening credits are supposed to read as follows: Storyboard Director: C.H. Greenblatt, Storyboard Artist: Zeus Cervus, Written By: C.H. Greenblatt, Paul Tibbitt, Supervising Producer: Paul Tibbitt, Technical Director: Vincent Waller, Animation Director: Alan Smart. However, when this episode airs on Nick, the credits read like this: Storyboard Director: C.H. Greenblatt, Written By: C.H. Greenblatt Paul Tibbitt, Technical Director: Vincent Waller, Animation Director: Alan Smart, Supervising Producer: Paul Tibbitt. Same goes for the next episode.
• This is the second episode in which the name of the episode on the title card has 2 fonts. The first was Home Sweet Pineapple.
• Ironically, many episodes in Season 4 are centered around the Krusty Krab, even more so than Patrick.
• How would Mr. Krabs think Plankton was a spider if most spiders don't live underwater? How would he even know what a spider is?
• in the tittle Card, The A's in Krabby Patty Are different than The A by itself
