Plot
At the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs rushes in shouting like a maniac, telling of the return of the (fishing) hooks. SpongeBob is confused, and Mr. Krabs tells him that he should not go near a hook, or he will be brought up to the surface and eaten or sold at a gift shop.
Patrick shows up, saying that the carnival has come to town and insisting that SpongeBob come with him. He agrees, assuming that he's not quitting work but just taking a break. Much to SpongeBob's horror, though, the "carnival" is actually the site of the hooks to Mr. Krabs warned everyone about. Patrick deliberately hooks himself, and shoots up towards the surface on it. SpongeBob cries, until he sees Patrick again, who explains that he jumped off and floated down before he reached the surface. Spongebob and Patrick continue to ride the hooks until Mr. Krabs catches them, and makes them promise to never go near the hooks again. However, the next day, Patrick persuades SpongeBob to play "hooky" again.
While playing, SpongeBob gets caught on a hook, and, terrified, runs to the Krusty Krab for help. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that the only way to get the hook off is to take off his clothes right in front of Pearl and her friends, who laugh very hard. SpongeBob gets so upset that he cries out loud and runs back to his house. It is then revealed that Squidward hooked SpongeBob in order to teach him a lesson, both Squidward and Mr. Krabs laugh sadistically. Meanwhile, Patrick is dropped off by a bus, trapped in a tuna can. He asks "Does somebody have a can opener?" and the episode ends.
Transcript
Trivia/Goof
- This episode is number 7 on Tom Kenny's Top 20 on iTunes. His description says:
"SpongeBob and Pat as 'rebels without a cause' (or a brain), riding fishermen's hooks and jumping off just before being yanked ashore. This episode inspired the song 'Riding the Hook' on 'The Best Day Ever' CD, with legendary punk rocker Tommy Ramone playing drums!"
- The events in this episode are a metaphor for skipping school or work. This is shown by SpongeBob skipping work to see the hooks and getting "hooked" by one the next day (Hooky is a slang term for truancy).
- While promoting The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, the title character of that show appeared in the lower-right hand corner on the day of its premiere, and using one of his inventions temporarily transformed the cartoon into a puppet show during the scene where Mr. Krabs is making SpongeBob and Patrick recite an oath he is giving.
- Character death is implied when a young fish's shoes are seen near the hooks.
- This is one of the few occasions that Spongebob acknowledges Patrick's stupidity. When Patrick asks "Are you going to listen to a big dummy, or are you going to listen to me?" SpongeBob weakly replies "Ummmm....".
- Mr Krabs says that nobody's taken a break at the Krusty Krab since the "Chum Famine of 1959", but SpongeBob took a break in "F.U.N" and many future epsodes, and Squidward even went on vacation in "Squeaky Boots".
- The music playing during one scene is actually from a short segment of Flubber.
- This is Patrick's last appearance with m's for eyebrows. In season 2 and on, they are z's.
- The usual French narrator has only one short line in the beginning of this episode: "Fishermen have quite an effect on our undersea friends."
- When SpongeBob comes out of his house for work, he says "I'm ready" four times, but closed captions show the line only three times.
- SpongeBob said that he always goes to work the way leading to Squidward's and Patrick's houses. In all other episodes, he is seen going to work the other way.
- When SpongeBob fruit snacks first came out, an advertisement for them featured the snacks acting out a part of this episode
- There is an online game to tie in with this episode.
