==Synopsis==
[[File:Banned in Bikini Bottom 033.png|thumb|200px|♪I love Krabby Patties! I think they're swell.♪]]
The episode begins with SpongeBob singing about Krabby Patties in the Krusty Krab kitchen. He then takes in a large amount of air and yells the next verse to his song out loud, knocking Squidward to the ground, along with cups he stacked in the shape of a pyramid. Soon after, a tour bus full of old ladies pulls up to the [[Krusty Krab]]. An elderly woman named Miss Gristlepuss enters the Krusty Krab with her accomplices, and being unhappy with what they see, they ban Krabby Patties.

[[File:Banned in Bikini Bottom 073.png|thumb|200px|The Krusty Krab has been closed.]]
The Krusty Krab is closed down when Mr. Krabs, offscreen, was threatening Miss Gristlepuss with a french fry strainer and insulting her by calling her a disgusting old prune, not knowing her husband, Al, is the police chief. Meanwhile, Plankton at first thinks Mr. Krabs has changed the name to "The Closed Krab," but soon figures out he can take advantage of the moment and goes out to celebrate. Plankton soon discovers in surprise that the Krusty Krab has [[Secret Krusty Krab|secretly been reopened]] at {{Link|SpongeBob's house}}. Patrick, serving as a guard, asks Plankton for the password to enter, to which Plankton responds with a series of threats. Surprisingly enough, these threats constitute the password and Plankton is allowed in.

While Mr. Krabs scans to make sure the area is clear of police officers, he goes to check on SpongeBob, who is afraid of getting arrested for making an illegal product. Mr. Krabs forces him to work, threatening to make him take weekends off. Plankton discovers Mr. Krabs is doing his regular business "under the table" and calls the cops. In the blink of an eye, they arrive to clean up the Krabby Patties and arrest the employees.

However, Al is caught eating a Krabby Patty and before Miss Gristlepuss could stop him, she trips on her loose shoelaces and a Krabby Patty drops into her mouth, instating her love for the burger and apologizing to the [[Krusty Crew]]. She decides not to send SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs to jail and unbans Krabby Patties, also deciding to reopen the Krusty Krab.

Once again, Plankton's plan has failed; he hides inside one of the Krabby Patties, only to be eaten by Miss Gristlepuss, as a "The End" card is shown, followed by a gulping sound, ending the episode.

==Production==
This episode was in production on {{Time|June 1}}, {{Time|2007}}.<ref name="clark">[https://www.andyclark.us/Image.asp?ImageID=3015986&apid=1&gpid=1&ipid=1&AKey=HJXCH6TA Andy Clark - SpongeBob SquarePants]</ref>

The Viking hat that Mr. Krabs wears when he greets [[T.U.O.O.F.A.T.T.A.F.A.D.]] was originally going to have a joke surrounding it. It would have been something to do with whom Mr. Krabs expected to be on the bus.<ref name="commentary">[[Banned in Bikini Bottom (audio commentary)|Audio Commentary for this episode]]</ref>

Andrea Martin's line were either recorded through the phone or in New York and was sent to [[Nickelodeon Animation Studio]].<ref name="commentary"/> The commentary this information comes from is not very clear on which it was.

Al Gristlepuss' design was based on casting director, Maryanne Dacey's late brother-in-law, whom was also a cop. It is implied that he died sometime before this episode premiered.<ref name="commentary"/>

A deleted scene featured {{Link|Pearl}} singing at the [[secret Krusty Krab]].<ref name="pearl">[https://archive.org/details/spongebob-bibb-commentary-pearl Audio commentary clip: Pearl deleted scene]</ref> [[Steven Banks]] mentions Pearl's deleted scene in the audio commentary, which can be watched [https://archive.org/details/spongebob-bibb-commentary-pearl here].

*SpongeBob has a watch when Mr. Krabs is standing outside of the Krusty Krab, saying that Krabs was standing there for four days.
*Mr. Krabs calls the [[Krusty Krab cash register]] "Betsy" in this episode, but in "[[SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One]]," "[[Sponge-Cano!]]," and "[[The Krabby Patty That Ate Bikini Bottom]]," he calls it "Cashy."
*The [[Galley Grub]] menu is not seen in the Secret Krusty Krab.
*Patrick saying, "What's the password?" and the cops breaking into SpongeBob's house have become popular internet memes.
*This is the first instance where the Krusty Krab moves to SpongeBob's house. The second instance is [[SpongeBob's Place (restaurant)|SpongeBob's Place]] in the [[SpongeBob's Place|episode of the same name]].

===Dub facts===
*In the [[SpongeBob SquarePants (Indonesian, GTV)|Indonesian dub]], the scene where three incidentals fleeing from the couch, as well as S.W.A.T. team running over Gary were omitted due to time constraints.
*In the [[Спанч Боб Шаршы Шалбар (Kazakhfilm)|Kazakh dub]], the first part of Miss Gristlepuss' singing is undubbed.

===Cultural references===
*The {{W|Watusi (dance)|Watusi}} was a solo dance from the early {{W|1960s}} that was popular in the United States.
*Al Gristlepuss strongly resembles [[w:c:dukenukem:Duke Nukem (character)|Duke Nukem]].
**Duke Nukem is a confident and aggressive action hero in the ''[[w:c:dukenukem:Duke Nukem franchise|Duke Nukem]]'' video game series.
*The scene where Plankton has to guess the password is based on a gag done by the {{W|Marx Brothers}} family comedy act where they would make someone guess the password, which was "Swordfish."<ref name="commentary"/>
*The scene where Squidward says, "Do you want to 'Secret Size' that for two dollars more?" is a parody of {{W|McDonald's}} and their former policy of allowing their customers to "Super Size" their meal for more money.
*The episode is heavily based on the Prohibition era in American History,<ref name="commentary"/> which was a time when alcohol was illegal in America. The references are:
**The banning of Krabby Patties is similar to the outlawing of alcohol.
**The Secret Krusty Krab is a reference to Speakeasies, which were a place where people would secretly get alcohol.<ref name="commentary"/>
**The raid towards the end of the episode is a reference to the raids of speakeasies.<ref name="commentary"/>

===Errors===
*When SpongeBob first starts singing, there are four patties on the grill. Later, there are eight.
*When SpongeBob inflates himself, his belt breaks. After he deflates back to normal moments later, his belt is intact as if nothing ever happened.
*Towards the end of SpongeBob's self-inflation, the two spatulas he was gripping disappear.
[[File:Banned in Bikini Bottom 023.png|thumb|260px|Mr. Krabs' missing belt.]]
*When Mr. Krabs greets Miss Gristlepuss, his belt is missing. In the next shot, he is wearing his belt.
*When Mr. Krabs greets Miss Gristlepuss, the Krusty Krab door handles are blue instead of yellow.
*When everyone is standing by the cash register boat, they are larger than normal, being bigger than the boat and the "Galley Grub" sign.
*When Mr. Krabs goes to the cash register to Squidward for joking at Miss Gristlepuss and her sisters, he is standing behind the boat and his body is overlapping the cash register part.
*When Miss Gristlepuss blows her whistle and lets go, the black lanyard and whistle ends at her chest. But when the next scene cuts, her whistle is connected to the thread of her shirt without the black lanyard.
[[File:Banned in Bikini Bottom 081.png|thumb|260px|Mr. Krabs' eyelashes are missing.]]
*When Mr. Krabs screams, "I'm ruined!," his eyelashes are gone.
*When Plankton looks out his window to see the Krusty Krab, the road following to the Chum Bucket doors are not there.
*{{Link|Squidward's house}} is not shown when the police arrive at SpongeBob's house.
**In the same scene, incidentals 107 and 46 are cut off when running towards the left and right sides of the screen.
*When the Secret Krusty Krab is found by the cops, SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs are handcuffed, but when Miss Gristlepuss accidentally falls down and eats a Krabby Patty, they are not handcuffed. Later, Mr. Krabs appears handcuffed again.
[[File:Banned in Bikini Bottom 193.png|thumb|260px|A Krabby Patty with no seeds.]]
*The Krabby Patty Plankton is seen hiding under has no seeds, unlike the other Krabby Patties.
*Even though she calls herself '''Miss''' Gristlepuss, she should be called '''Mrs.''' Gristlepuss because she is married.
[[File:Banned in Bikini Bottom credits.png|thumb|260px|"Miss Priss" in the end credits.]]
*In the end credits and in some cable descriptions, Miss Gristlepuss is mistakenly called "Miss Priss."
**The same mistake goes for Al Gristlepuss, where his name is written as "Al Priss."
**She is also called Miss Priss in the YouTube description of the episode.
*When Ms. Gristlepuss' bus pulls up to the Krusty Krab, the pathway to the Chum Bucket is missing.
**The same error is present when Plankton sees the Krusty Krab closed through his telescope.
