"Gullible Pants" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season 6. In this episode, SpongeBob is left in charge of the Krusty Krab for a few minutes, and Squidward takes advantage of his gullibility.

Characters[]

Synopsis[]

At the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs is counting coins in his office when he splits his fingernail. He dials his phone and books an appointment for a manicure, and as he attempts to leave without SpongeBob or Squidward seeing him, the former stops to ask where he is going. Mr. Krabs answers that it is secret, and appoints SpongeBob in charge while he is gone, much to his excitement.

SpongeBob wakes up Squidward, who claims that Mr. Krabs usually lets him sleep on the job. Later, SpongeBob has to serve a patty but also cook food, and unclog the sink. Not wanting to listen to them, Squidward realizes he can use SpongeBob's idiocy and proceeds to tell him a "secret" Mr. Krabs told him, that customer Incidental 105 wants to be a fry cook. Being a total gullible idiot, SpongeBob is foolish enough to believe this and approaches him and takes him into the kitchen to cook. As he is about to deliver a patty, Squidward lies that SpongeBob's feet are cleaner than his hands. This causes him to serve the food while walking on his hands, to the disgust of customer Incidental 107.

Delivery fish Incidental 119 arrives with supplies that SpongeBob ordered so he can redecorate the Krusty Krab, making it all pretty. Squidward claims that Mr. Krabs likes when the Krusty Krab is dirty, so SpongeBob covers it in trash and grime. When the customers begin to leave, Squidward tells SpongeBob that he has to entertain them, so he starts dancing for them, frightening them.

Mr. Krabs returns from his manicure and is shocked to find the Krusty Krab a mess. When he asks SpongeBob what happened, SpongeBob explains he was following everything Squidward said and he told him all his "secrets." Mr. Krabs, believing he told someone about his manicure, while still in charge, SpongeBob appoints Mr. Krabs to clean the dishes. The episode ends as Mr. Krabs again splits his fingernail, as Incidental 105 is still behind the grill, Squidward is sleeping, and SpongeBob is dancing for the customers.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • This episode's original titles were "GulliBob"[1][2] on the pitch storyboard and "Gul-I-Bob."[4]
  • The title card background for this episode is similar to that of "Pickles," but it is flipped sideways and its brightness is turned up.
  • This episode has a similar plot to "Squid's Day Off," as both episodes involve Mr. Krabs putting someone else in charge of the Krusty Krab while he is temporarily away. Except in this episode, SpongeBob is the one who is put in charge and not Squidward.
  • One of SpongeBob's ways of ruining the Krusty Krab is using his feet to deliver the food; later on in "The Clash of Triton," it is revealed there is a "Work Without Your Hands Day" at the Krusty Krab.
  • A clip of SpongeBob saying, "You don't want to miss... this!" and then dancing was used during the "Up next" Nickelodeon bumpers in 2009-2011.[5]
  • The stuff that Mr. Krabs sees when he returns to the Krusty Krab:
    • SpongeBob dancing like a goofball near the front doors.
    • The customers cowering in fear due to being unable to leave the building.
    • The entire dining area of the Krusty Krab covered in a filthy mess.
    • Some stranger cooking Krabby Patties.
    • Squidward sleeping on the job, although this is usually normal.
  • Stock footage of SpongeBob dancing at the end of this episode was used for his appearance in "The Official BBC Children in Need Medley."
  • SpongeBob's dances are similar to a Russian and Irish dance.
  • This is the second episode in which Squidward takes advantage of SpongeBob's idiocy. The first was "Naughty Nautical Neighbors."
  • This was the fifth and last episode to premiere during Nickelodeon's "Deep Sea Danger Zone" marathon.
  • In the Indonesian dub, the part when Squidward laughs until Incidental 105 gives Incidental 104 food is always skipped.[citation needed]
  • In the German dub, this episode is called "Chef vom Dienst," which translates to "Head of Services."
  • The "Wake me up when I care!" quote from this episode was used in SpongeBob Simulator as a chat line.

Errors[]

  • In the opening shot of the Krusty Krab dining area, Incidental 92 is shown eating with Incidental 151, but in the scene where it pans past the dining area while Mr. Krabs is under the floorboards, he is shown eating with Incidental 4. In the scene where Mr. Krabs looks at the dining like a periscope, Incidental 92 is back with Incidental 151.
  • In the opening shot of the Krusty Krab dining area, Incidental 48 is shown eating with Incidental 41, but in the scene where it pans past the dining area while Mr. Krabs is under the floorboards, Incidental 48 is shown eating with Incidental 64.
    • Incidental 64 is later shown eating with Incidental 47.
  • In the opening shot of the Krusty Krab dining area, Incidental 114 is shown wearing a light blue shirt, but in the scene where Mr. Krabs looks at the dining like a periscope, Incidental 114 is wearing a brown-green shirt. It returns to the light blue shirt in the shot where Incidental 105 first appears.
  • When SpongeBob stops the customers with his dancing, and when Mr. Krabs returns to see the Krusty Krab ruined, the Chum Bucket is missing from across the street.
Gullible Pants 187

The ordering boat is tipped sideways, despite standing up in every other scene it's shown in.

  • When Mr. Krabs catches Squidward sleeping on the job, the ordering boat is tipped sideways even though the ordering boat is not shown being tipped over and is standing up in every other scene it's shown in.
  • When the episode ends with SpongeBob doing the Russian-Irish dance to the scared customers, the mud and slime are missing in the background.
  • In some shots, the screen flickers black for a second.[citation needed]
  • In one scene, an incidental lip-syncs to SpongeBob's dialogue.
