Plot
SpongeBob and Patrick board a bus to get home from Glove World, a glove-themed amusement park, they have apparently gotten on the wrong one and head off a large cliff. The cliff leads to a sort of aphotic zone called Rock Bottom, inhabited by anglerfish-like creatures. Patrick gets on a bus home but accidentally leaves SpongeBob behind. After several unsuccessful attempts to get on the bus, he heads to the bus station and gets in a very long line. By the time he gets to the front, he finds out that the last bus to leave for the night is already gone, and he's stuck there until morning. He gets scared by a raspberry sound coming from nowhere, and he dashes back to the cliff. The raspberry sound's maker reveals himself to be a friendly-looking anglerfish creature, which has SpongeBob's balloon from Glove World. The creature blows up the balloon, ties it to SpongeBob's wrist, and allows him to float up the cliff and back to Bikini Bottom. Unfortunately, Patrick thinks SpongeBob is still in Rock Bottom and goes back, causing bad luck for Patrick!
Trivia/Goofs
- When SpongeBob looks at the vending machine, it is facing him. But when he is choosing the candy he wants, it is facing the opposite side of the road that is at a 90 degree angle.
- When SpongeBob is yelling at the man at the bus station, a sign that reads "Information" can be seen above the window. But when the lights shut off, the sign disappears.
- The background of the title card is similar to that of "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost" and "Graveyard Shift," only it is forward instead of upside down.
- This is the first of two episodes SpongeBob’s grandfather has been mentioned. The other is the episode The Sponge Who Could Fly.
- When SpongeBob is getting his Kelp Bar from the machine, when he chases the bus, he goes right through it.
- The person that worked at the bus station is the same person who came out of the men's bathroom and stole SpongeBob's Kelp Bar.
- This is the first pair episode not to feature Squidward.
- When SpongeBob says, "Another funtastic day at glove world.", his mouth closes on the words "Glove World". In the next shot, when SpongeBob and Patrick are about to get on the bus, you'll see that SpongeBob's right arm is gone but immediately returns.
- In SpongeBob SquarePants: SuperSponge for GBA and PS, Chapter 4 takes place in Rock Bottom.
- Rock Bottom has since appeared in many of the SpongeBob video games including Plankton's Robotic Revenge and Battle for Bikini Bottom.
- First appearance of Glove World though in this episode only the exterior is shown; when it makes its second appearance in Roller Cowards the interior is shown.
- In the video game Battle for Bikini Bottom if SpongeBob goes up to the vending machine the bus will show up then leave, a reference to this episode.
- It is revealed that the residents of Rock Bottom speak by blowing a raspberry as evidenced when the person at the counter does not understand SpongeBob's "accent".
- After departing the bus from Rock Bottom, Patrick is absent for the majority of the episode until the end.
