Plot

In the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is making Number five's order, and when he is finished, he gives it to Squidward so that he can give it to the fifth customer. The fifth customer is revealed to be SpongeBob, who grabs the order, and eats it. Meanwhile, outside the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs calls SpongeBob to go to his 'Hidy Hole', where he keeps his old Navy stuff in a treasure chest. They drag it into Mr. Krabs's office. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob about the Navy reunion and also tells him about his old Navy buddies and his nickname "Armor Abs Krabs". After he has heard all about the Navy, SpongeBob goes to the kitchen to get it in "shipshape." After a few minutes, he makes a perfect Krabby Patty. Meanwhile, Mr. Krabs molts his shell, leaving him a fleshy pink mess, and very fat and not strong. With his exoskeleton still intact, he puts SpongeBob in it and tells him to go to the reunion, and take Mr. Krabs' identity.

When he gets there, he almost reveals his identity by telling a jellyfishing and bubble-blowing story. So he goes to leave, but an old Navy friend of Mr. Krabs (Torpedo-belly) wants to do a body-slam, to test if he still has "armor abs". When he punches SpongeBob, he flies around the room, cracking the exoskeleton, revealing SpongeBob. When they get angry, the real Mr. Krabs pops out (he was watching from the bush the whole time) and reveals himself. He then talks about how he is still the same person even though he is what he is now. It then turns out everyone has had a drastic change of themselves. For example, Torpedo Belly had his torpedo removed. Mr. Krabs is still fleshy, pink, and fat, but he tells SpongeBob that his shell will grow back.

Trivia/Goofs

  • This episode was originally titled "Molting".
  • This episode is very similar to the The Fairly OddParents episode, "Truth or Cosmoquences".
  • Mr. Krabs had no nose when he was out of his old shell. His shell didn't have it either. Somehow his nose disappeared when he molted!
  • When SpongeBob spits out his skeleton, his teeth are both in the skeleton and still in his mouth, not that he should have any of those things, as he is a sponge.
  • When Mr. Krabs molts, his shell doesn't have eyes or a nose. However, in the Spongebob comic in Nickelodeon Magazine for October 2006, Mr. Krabs molts and his shell looks just like him.
  • Before Mr. Krabs molts, his eyelids are red. When he molts, they turn pink. Somehow, his eyelids change color when he molts.

SpongeBob almost revealed his identity because of 3 things he said. 1. SpongeBob said that he lived in a pineapple. 2. He told a story about being in the Jellyfish Fields. 3. His story had something to do with blowing bubbles. However, the last 2 things he said are what started making the men suspicious.

  • The title is based on the phrase "Hell of a man" mixed in with TMNT humor.
  • This is the second episode with crabs on the title card. The first one was Krusty Love.
  • When Mr. Krabs defends Spongebob, his size is taller for the rest of the episode.
  • Mr. Krabs mentions at the end that his shell will grow back.
