Plot
For Pearl's birthday, Mr. Krabs gives her a pair of fishing boots that only cost $2. After Pearl doesn't accept the gift, Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that the boots are special, and only worn by the best official fry cooks in the world. SpongeBob, excited, exchanges his paycheck for them, and starts wearing them all day and night. The squeak annoys Squidward so much that he leaves on vacation and Mr. Krabs has to fill in for him. After a sleepless night because of a squeaking window, Mr. Krabs can't stand the squeak of SpongeBob's boots anymore. At his wit's end, he steals the boots and buries them underneath the Krusty Krab. However, he feels guilty and starts going crazy, believing that he hears nothing but the constant squeaking of the boots (every word he sees in his restaurant is even replaced by the word "squeak"). He unburies the boots, shrinks them and eats them in a bout of insanity. He thinks he finally has peace and quiet and goes on vacation with Pearl, until he hiccups, making the boots (inside his body) squeak.
Trivia
- This episode is based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story, The Tell-Tale Heart. Mr. Krabs even references the famous quote "the beating of the hideous heart".
- During a Nickelodeon movie promotion in 1999, a set of scratch and sniff stickers were released at specified fast-food restaurants to be used with certain Nicktoons. One of them was used when Mr. Krabs dropped the boots in the boiling water. Also, the symbol that signaled you to "sniff" at the bottom right part of the screen was accidentally filmed along with the episode, and not edited over until late 2002, almost 3 years after the scratch and sniff packs were put out of circulation.
- The customer, Tom, never actually said what the order was (according to the voice actor). But, judging by his lip movements, he could be saying "squeaky squeak".
- When SpongeBob asks Mr. Krabs "Could the world's greatest frycook do this?", SpongeBob moonwalks across the floor like Michael Jackson. The second time he did this was in Squidtastic Voyage.
- This is the second episode to feature computer-made sequences.
- If you listen for it, Spongebob's shoes usually squeak anyway.
- SpongeBob's original name (SpongeBoy) was used in this episode ("SpongeBoy me Bob!").
- First time Mr.Krabs is the main character, and not have minor roles earlier including:
*Plankton!
*Pizza Delivery
*Sandy's Rocket
