Plot

SpongeBob is in his kitchen, karate-chopping a pineapple to look like Gary. He puts it on the floor so Gary is eye-level with it. It attracts flies and one flies into SpongeBob's mouth and he begins to choke. Patrick walks in and asks for some cheese before realizing SpongeBob's choking. Once it becomes clear to him, he punches SpongeBob. SpongeBob flies across the room and lands against the wall and the fly leaves his mouth. He offers anything in return and gives Patrick the cheese. Patrick decides that he wants to learn Karate. SpongeBob is skeptical but gives in since that was the deal. He tries to teach Patrick the "reverse whirlpool," a move identical to the reverse whirlpool in Squidtastic Voyage, and then to fly into a brick wall and destroy it. Patrick succeeds in this but ends up unable to stop flying. Next, SpongeBob tries to teach Patrick a move where he spins around on one foot. Patrick then starts spinning uncontrollably. SpongeBob gives up, and Patrick perfectly karate-chops a cinder block in half out of anger. He chops a steel sword and a boat as practice and then almost chops Baby Rechid. SpongeBob stops and warns him not to chop any living organisms or their property. He reminds him that "with power comes responsibility," but has to go to work and leaves Patrick, who starts chopping everything from arcade games to spinach. A man runs into the Krusty Krab screaming that there is a "chopper" on the loose, and SpongeBob, knowing the man is referring to Patrick, sets off to stop his friend. Meanwhile, Patrick is in an ice-cream shop. He is buying a cone stacked high with every flavor they have. He owes them over eighty dollars but tries to trade him for a lollipop. The ice cream man refuses and threatens to call the cops when Patrick chops the glass, cracking it, and tips the ice cream into his mouth while the ice cream man holds onto the money from the tip jar. He gains considerable weight, and no longer fits through the door. He chops it, and exits while the manager yells at the ice cream man for holding the money in the tip jar. Spongebob comes and tells Patrick to stop destroying Bikini Bottom, but by that time, Patrick's arm can not stop chopping. He eventually makes his way to the Barg'N-Mart and destroys the structure and crushes Spongebob. He finds a pack of kitchen sponges, and believes that this is SpongeBob's carcass. He becomes very mad at himself and rips off his own hand. The real Spongebob, who was trapped under a pile of rubble, wakes up and Patrick grows his hand back. Patrick badly rebuilds the Barg 'N-Mart. Patrick's hand grows into a new starfish and SpongeBob reprimands it for karate-chopping the rebuilt Barg'N-Mart, which falls down.

Trivia/Goofs

  • This is the second time SpongeBob chokes, the first time was Procrastination.
  • In the show, SpongeBob's karate gear was red & Sandy's karate gear was green. In this episode, it's reveals that Patrick's gear is blue.
  • This is the first time Barg N' Mart is destroyed.
  • This is the third time Patrick is cloned at the end of a episode, the first time was in Spy Buddies and the second was in Back to the Past. Actually, in Spy Buddies, it was never explained how Patrick was cloned, and thus the Spy Buddies clone and the Karate Star clone could be the same clone. Another reason that would make sense is because the show has a REALLY bad habit of making episodes that air after a certain episode take place before it, or the other way around.
  • This is the second time Patrick grows an arm, the first time was in The Pink Purloiner.
  • The kitchen sponge design is almost the exact same design as SpongeBob's design because Spongebob's based off of a kitchen sponge.
  • At first the pineapple Gary looks clean, but then it has flies.
  • If you look closely on the pineapple Gary, you can see that there is a leaf in between the pineapple slices.
  • The pineapple SpongeBob sliced may be miniature, since he lives in either a normal-sized one or a wood one of indeterminate size.
  • This is the fourth time we see SpongeBob's unicycle. The first time being in Boating School, the second time being in No Free Rides and the third time being in Choir Boys.
  • There are flies, even though they are under water.
  • The story of Patrick not being able to control his hand when it chops is similar to the film "Idle Hands".
  • The fish that ran into the Krusty Krab for SpongeBob's help was revealed to be the lifeguard from Ripped Pants.
  • Even though this episode is loosely based around Karate, Sandy does not appear in this episode. In real life it is impossible to slice metal.
  • On the menu board at the ice cream store, there is a food that looks like poop.
  • This is a spoof to the movie The Karate Kid.
  • The exterior Bikini Bottom Arcade sign is misspelled as "Bikini Botton Arcade".
  • When Patrick slices the cinder block in half, the halves look similar to rick blocks from the Super Mario series.
  • The Arcade in this episode looks different from the one in "The Cent of Money."
  • When SpongeBob says "Patrick!" while riding his unicycle, his mouth does not move.
