Plot

It's Gary's bath-time, but he doesn't want to take a bath. SpongeBob thinks of countless ways including subliminal messages, bombs and treasure hunts to get Gary in the bath, but they don't work. Finally, it's SpongeBob that has to take a bath because HE falls in the mud when he falls off a tree.

Cultural References

It is also somewhat similar to Martin Stellman's for Queen and Country. As Denzel Washington's character, Reuben James, turned vigilant to clean up his crime-infested neighborhood in London which he did as he would walk off into the night, SpongeBob tried anything to get Gary clean but he ends up getting dirtier and has to take a bath instead.
