Plot

When SpongeBob finds out that Squidward has never tried a Krabby Patty, he starts begging for him to try it until he does. Squidward tries a tiny bite of the patty and instantly falls in love with it, although he denies it to SpongeBob, saying he hates it and literally burying the patty. This disappoints SpongeBob.

When SpongeBob leaves, Squidward gets the Krabby Patty out from underneath the grave and says "Still alive!" before devouring it. Squidward now craves more Krabby Patties, but is unwilling to admit his love of them to Spongebob and attempts to do so secretly, first by placing a fake order and then trying to eat one out of the garbage. Both attempts fail.

That night, Squidward has a dream that a giant Krabby Patty enters his house. In the dream, he marries the Krabby Patty, has children with it (the result is a Krabby Patty with tentacles), and lives happily ever after with it into old age. Upon waking up from the dream, Squidward decides that he must have more Krabby Patties.

Squidward runs to the Krusty Krab and breaks in. While entering, he discovers a burglar alarm — a bucket filled with gasoline, which, at first, Squidward assumes is water, until a robotic hand drops a lit match on the puddle, causing a big explosion. This type of alarm is also present on the door to the kitchen. These alarms do not stop Squidward, who reaches the "Patty Vault".

As Squidward is about to begin eating, SpongeBob arrives at the Krusty Krab to "count the sesame seeds" and sees Squidward holding a Krabby Patty behind his back. SpongeBob then realizes what Squidward is doing and smiles at the fact that Squidward actually likes Krabby Patties. Squidward admits this and locks himself in the patty vault, where he begins devouring hundreds of patties. However, Squidward begins to eat too much and SpongeBob tells him that he must stop eating. Squidward asks "What's gonna happen? Am I gonna blow up?" SpongeBob replies "No, worse, it'll go right to your thighs…" "My thighs?" Squidward asks, and looks down at his thighs, which now appear to be filled with Krabby Patties. SpongeBob then says "…and then you'll blow up."

Squidward explodes and is shown in an ambulance, with only his head still intact. The episode ends with a paramedic saying "Yeah… I remember my first Krabby Patty."

  • Squidward: Try one of those radioactive sludgeballs you call food?!? Next I suppose you'll want me to go square dancing with Patrick!
    SpongeBob: (to Patrick in a cowboy suit). Sorry, Patrick...
    (Patrick moans and sulks away.)
  • Squidward: GOOD FOR YOU?!? That thing is a heart-attack on a bun!
  • SpongeBob: No Squidward, I meant... good for your soul!
    (SpongeBob turns into an angel, with heavenly music playing and a cloud background).
  • Squidward: Oh, PUH-LEEZE!! I have no soul.

Scene Removal

The scene in which Squidward triggers a burglar alarm consisting of a bucket of liquid gas which is spilled upon opening the door and is then lit on fire, causing an explosion, is cut out in later airings of the episode, although a reason was never officially announced by Nickelodeon. The generally accepted explaination for the removal is because the episode aired on October 5, 2001 the month after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In the months following this disaster, many companies began to cancel, delay or censor media that contained anything even remotely resembling the attacks.

The version included on the "Tales From the Deep", "The Complete Third Season", and the "10 Happiest Moments" DVD compilations is the edited version, but VideoNow versions still have this scene intact. Today, the uncut episode is still aired only on YTV.

When the uncut version was/is aired, "The Bully" was aired first and Just One Bite second; however, in all showings of the edited version, the order of the two episodes is reversed.

The deleted scene as is follows:

  • Squidward: There it is, unguarded! All I have to do is... wait. It's too easy. There must be some kind of (liquid drips)... security? This is our burglar alarm? A bucket of water? Ha-ha! (opens the door thus spilling the bucket over) That was too easy! (sniffs the liquid) Hey, this isn't water. This is... gas! (A robot arm drops a lit match into the gas, resulting in a huge explosion. Squidward enters the kitchen setting off another burglar alarm. The kitchen bursts into flames for a few seconds. Then, he walks over to the Patty Vault.)
    Edited version:
  • Squidward: There it is! (cuts to interior of Krusty Krab with camera zooming in through window to the Patty Vault. Squidward approaches it as he did in the original version. The rest of the episode goes normally).

Trivia/Goofs

  • The first act of the episode, where SpongeBob attempts to make Squidward try a Krabby Patty in different locations, is similar to the popular children's book, Green Eggs and Ham.
  • In the Latin American second season DVD box set, "Just One Bite" is replaced with "Frankendoodle" and "The Bully" with "Welcome To The Chum Bucket".
  • In this episode, Squidward says he never had a Krabby Patty, but he was previously shown eating Krabby Patties in "Your Shoe's Untied".
  • This is the first episode to show the inside of the Krusty Krab that does not feature Mr. Krabs.
  • All the Krabby Patties in Squidward's thighs look normal-shaped. Weren't they digested and turned into another shape? Or did Squidward just swallow them all without chewing them? 
  • Patrick appears but has no dialogue.
  • The Triple Krabby Supreme on a Stick is a reference to a corndog.
