Synopsis

During an intense day at work a customer orders a monster Krabby Patty and SpongeBob tries to make flip it. As a result, Spat is crushed and smashed and than SpongeBob starts crying like crazy. With his favorite kitchen implement out of commission, SpongeBob searches for a temporary replacement (even though he thought death fate spatula could replace Spat.) SpongeBob finds "Le Spatula", the latest in state-of-the-art cooking tool. The sleek and modern Le Spatula dazzles SpongeBob so completely that he will do anything to own one. But will this fancy gadget fill the void that was left by his old trusty spatula? After selling everything, SpongeBob attains Le Spatula from the man from the store. He shows him off to Mr. Krabs, and, later, before he flips a patty, he refuses. He says it is disgusting, and that he and SpongeBob aren't friends at all. He then suddenly grows robotic legs and runs off. Mr. Krabs confronts SpongeBob, and SpongeBob runs off to the hospital, where old Spat lays. He suddenly runs out of life as SpongeBob watches, and SpongeBob cries in agony. Then a doctor appears, and, after some conversation, tells him that's not his spatula, and that Spat is in the infirmary. SpongeBob runs over to Spat, but Spat turns away from SpongeBob. SpongeBob cries he's sorry for buying Le Spatula, claiming it was his moment of weakness. SpongeBob rolls in a fit of tears as he goes back to the Krusty Krab. He cries in the kitchen, but suddenly, he hears patties flipping, and sees Spat flipping Krabby Patties on the grill, and he cries in joy. Apparently, he forgave him. Suddenly, another Monster Krabby is ordered. The two try to hopefully succeed in flipping it. Suddenly, SpongeBob's arms break off. He ends up laughing, and the episode ends.

Production

Deleted Scene

According to the storyboard, after Mr. Krabs said "Go before I lose all me customers", he would cry a tear drop saying "Me Money", then Squidward would ask "What Happened?" and then Mr. Krabs replays "I don't know". This was mostly cut to save time.

Trivia

• The store owner, Fred, who sells the spatula is dressed the same way when he offered Mr. Krabs one million dollars for the soda drink hat in One Krabs Trash, which could indicate that he is wealthy.
• When the hands dump the Monster Krabby Patty onto the grill, it's dumped on top of Krabby Patties already being prepared.
• Running Gag: People saying "Monster Krabby Patty", SpongeBob wails over his spatula breaking, SpongeBob looking for money to buy Le Spatula.
• It's unknown whether the person who first ordered the Monster Krabby Patty ever got his order.
• This episode re-aired with Squidtastic Voyage for its premiere.
• When SpongeBob appears at the screen saying "All that glitters, is not gold", he breaks the fourth wall in two ways by directly talking to the viewer and reference the title of the episode.
  • Also, this quote (and possibly the episode title) is a possible reference to a line in one of Smash Mouth's songs, All Star (the line referenced being "all that glitters is gold").
• When SpongeBob wails over his spatula breaking, he cries to:
  • Squidward
  • Mr. Krabs
  • Two customers (Tina Fran and another fish)
  • Someone in the bathroom stall
  • Police officers
  • A woman, and her baby in a stroller who cries along
  • Himself in the mirror
  • A psychiatrist while on a couch
  • Himself, soon joined by Patrick who also cries along
  • His wailing sounds like the Timesplitters character Gingerbread Man
• This episode was originally titled Obession but it was later changed to All That Glitters.
• SpongeBob's spatula was wrecked before, and he didn't get upset over it.
• SpongeBob's spatula seems to be alive in this episode.
