[[File:SBDemolitionDoofus-1-.jpg|thumb|Mrs.Puff flatened.]]
SpongeBob goes to boating school and then continues to crash into two cars, inflating Mrs. Puff every time he continues to crash into an obstacle. Mrs. Puff then inflates so much, she sends the car airborne. SpongeBob then crashes the car into the lighthouse, injuring Mrs. Puff. In the hospital, Doctor Forrest clarifies that Mrs. Puff's inflation sac was popped in the collision and she will not be able to "puff" again. Mrs. Puff has to be tranquilized after she leaps on to SpongeBob and man-handling his nose. SpongeBob then begins to ramble and the doctor tranquilizes him as well. SpongeBob then visits Mrs. Puff with a bouquet of flowers along with the hundreds of other flowers he sent her, which she appears to be allergic to. After forcing her into a wheelchair, he pushes her down the hallway. Doctors are seen sprinting through the hallway with muscular men on the gurneys. SpongeBob stops Purple Doctorfish and asked what was going on. He replies the Demolition Derby are about to battle in the hospital room. It appears that they are hitting each other with wheelchairs. Mrs. Puff imagines them smashing into SpongeBob and killing him. Her laughing attracts SpongeBob's attention, and she claims she has a way for him to earn "extra credit". After talking to Captain Lutefisk, she shows him how much damage SpongeBob can do with a boat, though he is just using a steering wheel. Lutefisk says he is perfect for the derby. At the derby, Mrs. Puff is enraged at how SpongeBob is defeating the competitors only by serendipity. She then grabs a tractor and starts to chase after SpongeBob, trying to smash him. They then collide into the boating school, where Mrs. Puff regains her "puff", before they get crushed by the school.

===Reception===
 
===Reception===
*This episode is hated massively by many fans and critics, mainly due to Mrs. Puff, as the episode made abundantly clear, was trying to have SpongeBob murdered (the line "Why are you still '''ALIVE?!'''" also clarified this moreso). Her transformation in this episode was dark and she hadn't resorted that far to attempting to killing SpongeBob in the past. SpongeBob's behavior and insults to Mrs. Puff (combined with the fact that he was the one who crippled her) were also criticized, as was the episode not showing Mrs. Puff getting any comeuppance for her actions.

Synopsis

File:SBDemolitionDoofus-1-.jpg

Mrs.Puff flatened.

SpongeBob goes to boating school and then continues to crash into two cars, inflating Mrs. Puff every time he continues to crash into an obstacle. Mrs. Puff then inflates so much, she sends the car airborne. SpongeBob then crashes the car into the lighthouse of the boating school, injuring Mrs. Puff. In the hospital, Doctor Forrest clarifies that Mrs. Puff's inflation sac was popped in the collision and she will not be able to "puff" again. Mrs. Puff has to be tranquilized after she leaps on to SpongeBob and man-handling his nose. SpongeBob then begins to ramble and the doctor tranquilizes him as well. SpongeBob then visits Mrs. Puff with a bouquet of flowers along with the hundreds of other flowers he sent her, which she appears to be allergic to. After forcing her into a wheelchair, he pushes her down the hallway. Doctors are seen sprinting through the hallway with muscular men on the gurneys. SpongeBob stops the Purple Doctorfish and asked what was going on. He replies the Demolition Derby members are about to battle in the hospital room. It appears that they are hitting each other with wheelchairs. Mrs. Puff imagines them smashing into SpongeBob and killing him. Her laughing attracts SpongeBob's attention, and she claims she has a way for him to earn "extra credit." After talking to Captain Lutefisk, she shows him how much damage SpongeBob can do with a boat, though he is just using a steering wheel. Lutefisk says he is perfect for the derby. At the derby, Mrs. Puff is enraged at how SpongeBob is defeating the competitors only by serendipity. She then grabs a tractor and starts to chase after SpongeBob, trying to smash him. They then collide into the boating school, where Mrs. Puff regains her "puff," before they get crushed by the school.

Reception

  • This episode is hated massively by many fans and critics, mainly due to how Mrs. Puff, as the episode made abundantly clear, was trying to have SpongeBob murdered (the line "Why are you still ALIVE?!" also clarified this moreso). Her personality's transformation in this episode was dark, and she had never resorted to attempting to kill SpongeBob in the past. Additionally, SpongeBob's insensitive and insulting behavior to Mrs. Puff (combined with the fact that he was the one who crippled her in the first place) was also criticized, as was the episode not showing Mrs. Puff getting any comeuppance for her actions.
    • Debatably, the fact that this episode was rated PG in Canada is a reflection of these criticisms.
