Plot
At the Krusty Krab, Old Man Jekins gets ketchup and misses. Plankton was inside the ketchup and darts around Mr. Krab's office, and ends up in faliure, like always. Karen gives him holigraphic meatloaf, but Plankton dosent like it because he wants real food, so Plankton goes to the Switch-Lives-You-Know-Morgifier he built last Tuesday. Plankton wakes up at the Krusty Krab and reads his name tag that says "Mr. Plankton."
Plankton goes to a table where SpongeBob is serving two Krabby Patties to a customer. He asks SpongeBob if he can use them for bun inspection, and SpiongeBob gives him two. Plankton drools on the patties until SpongeBob comes in his office for a weekly performance review and Plankton gives SpongeBob Squidward's job as a cashier, making Squidward take SpongeBob's job as a fry cook. Pearl comes in for an allowance and Plankton only gives her one dollar. Pearl starts crying and Plankton avoids her tears until one comes into his mouth making him a circle. Nat flattens Plankton up, turning him back to norma, and Nat yells at Plankton about his Krabby Patty and Palnkton calls Squidward over, but dosen't come. SpongeBob shoes up telling Plankton that a customer wanted a medium drink and SpongeBBob gave him a large, and yells "Soiled It!" An alarm blares and Plankton dosen't know it's his arche enemy, Eugene Krabs, nut Krabs was naked. SpongeBob turns the register over to a place were a cannon is located at shootes clothes at him, but misses. Krabs realizes that he he's wearing a bra and give SpongeBob back the patty. Krabs calls Plankton saying "And the next day, and the next day." Plankton screams and everything goes back to normal. Plankton finds himself sitting in the table with the holographic meatloaf in front of him and starts eating it.
Trivia/Goofs
- The title is a parody of the reference The Grass Is Always Greener on the Other Side of the Hill.
- A live shrimp features 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.
- Some people call this episode "The Kelp's Always Greener" sometimes.
- 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.
- Plankton can afford holographs but not food.
- SpongeBob acted as if 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, though he possibly didn't think he would be turning back to normal.
- 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 is 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".
- How can Mr. Krabs get on the telephone if he doesn't have a phone or has some clothes to have the phone inside?
- This is the first time Mr. Krabs is completely naked. The second is Best Frenemies.
- Nancy said the same (not exactly) line "He ate my children's homework!" from Sandy, SpongeBob and the Worm. If she means the Alaskan Bull Worm, she said it instead of he.
- This is the one and only episode with a shrimp.
