Plot
At the Krusty Krab, Old Man Jenkins grabs a bottle of ketchup and heads to a table. Since he is old, he accidentally shoots it at a wall. Plankton is inside a capsule that is inside the bottle of ketchup, and does not expect this. He has been fired through the wall, and landed in Eugene H. Krabs office. Mr. Krabs throws him back to the Chum Bucket, and he tries to think of a new plan. His W.I.F.E insist him to use the machine he made last Tuesday. So he used the machine to swap lives with Mr. Krabs (and gets rid of Mr. Krabs), then he woke up in Mr. Krabs' desk. There is a name plate reading Mr. Plankton, and there is a photo of him with Mr. Krabs' teenaged daughter, Pearl. He only cares about the Krabby Patties, and neglects everyone else. SpongeBob is promoted to co-cashier, where he lets the restaurant down. Squidward Tentacles is at the grill and makes horrible trash-filled burgers, while Pearl only gets $1 a week for pocket money. Plankton is so confused and his life is just worse as before so he went back to his own life and eats holographic meatloaf prepared by him W.I.F.E. <NOT YET FINISHED>
Trivia
- The title is a parody of the reference The Grass Is Always Greener on the other side of the hill
- There was an actually real live shrimp in this episode.
- When Plankton is talking to Karen about the life swapper device when he is drinking, his soda cup moved across the table without Plankton touching it.
- Plankton reveals in this episode that his restaurant, The Chum Bucket does not
have any food.
- Mr. Krabs appears naked in this episode.
- The patty that Plankton takes a closer look at resembles the nasty patty from the episode Nasty Patty.
- It seems that although Plankton had switched lives with Krabs, the restaurant is still called the Krusty Krab.
- The quote Plankton says to Karen before he switches lives with Mr. Krabs (Rolling stones gather no algae) is similar to an old saying, Rolling stones gather no moss.
- When SpongeBob says he is around here somewhere the captions say he's around here somewhere.
- Krabs says and the next day 17 times.
- You never find out what happened to Squidward after he made the tainted Krabby Patty, or why he even did it in the first place. But, it could be because he is a terrible cook.
- The magazine Squidward was reading was the same one in Culture Shock.
- After switching lives with Krabs, Plankton is shown without sleeves. After looking through the office window, he looks down and sees his clothes, now with sleeves.
- Plankton reverses places with Mr. Krabs. If that were to really happen, it would also be in reverse in Friend or Foe and both would do what the other did.
- If Plankton eats holographic food every night, then how is he alive? He cannot actually eat it and you cannot live with only on drinks.
- Plankton can afford holographs but not food.
- Spongebob acted like he wanted to hear if he needed improvement on anything. But when *Plankton said he did Spongebob was sad and crazy.
- The mask Plankton wears as he tries to steal the Krabby Patty looks similar to the one worn by The Gimp in Pulp Fiction.
- Plankton had the perfect chance to get the Krabby Patty formula the entire time he switched lives with Mr. Krabs.
- There was a drink on the other side of the table and Plankton said something. He kept talking and a few seconds later it was right in front of Plankton.
- This is a spoof off a song called Reunited played by Peaches and Herb in 1978. The lyrics actually go Reunited and it feels so good.
- The Algae's Always Greener
- A take off on the quote the grass is much greener on the other side. By the way, that line is used in the theme song to another Nicktoon, "As Told By Ginger".
