Plot

When Plankton makes a surprise attack, SpongeBob reveals the Krabby Patty formula location to Plankton. Just then, Pearl comes and scares Plankton on accident. It turns out Plankton is afraid of whales. Mr. Krabs realizes this and makes a Pearl costume to scare Plankton multiple times. SpongeBob thinks Mr. Krabs took it a bit too far, so he tells Plankton that Mr. Krabs is afraid of mimes, yet lies that the formula was moved. Plankton soon hires a mime to scare Mr. Krabs off. However, SpongeBob tells Plankton that baleen whales showed up at the Krusty Krab for an annual feeding of planktons. Hearing this, Plankton escapes. What appears to be baleen whales, though, are actually holograms of a projector that SpongeBob set up.

Trivia/Goofs

The working title for this episode was Plankton Got Served, but it was later changed to One Coarse Meal.
In one shot, Mr. Krabs is in a towel, in the next he is in his clothes.
Plankton wasn't afraid of Pearl in The Algae's Always Greener.
This is the second appearance of Plankton's cousins. The first was Plankton's Army. Clem can be seen among them. However, Plankton calls them his ancestors.
This is the second time Plankton grows a beard. The first was Chum Caverns.
In this episode, Mr. Krabs is revealed to have an ATM on his chest.
Plankton calls SpongeBob "CheeseHead". This is the first time since WhoBob WhatPants he's been called that.
It's revealed that Mr. Krabs is afraid of mimes.
In the scenes where Mr. Krabs is scaring Plankton while dressed as Pearl, it looks much more like Pearl than in the scenes where he is putting on the costume.
In Plankton's dream, Pearl turns a much lighter gray and her voice sounds older.
When Plankton is laying in the middle of the road, SpongeBob says he can't step on him because of his "good nature" but in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie he steps on Plankton and the same in Dunces and Dragons. Also, SpongeBuck steps on him in Pest of the West. It should be noted though that all of these ocurrences were accidents.
Previously, a mime can be seen on The Sponge Who Could Fly.
If Mr. Krabs pays SpongeBob with "Wacky Bucks", then it is unknown how he pays back Mr. Krabs for the stuff from Bossy Boots.
The German title is Wer hat Angst vorm großen Wal?, which means Who is afraid of the big whale?, the episode's original title.
