SpongeBob wakes up, drinks a cup of coffee made by Gary and also eats French toast looks at his calendar. It says "You are a winner", and SpongeBob hugs himself. It also says "first day of summer", and SpongeBob gets excited, and when he goes to work, he sees Mr. Krabs even more excited for summer. SpongeBob asks him why, and he says (incorrectly) that on summer vacation, children go around spending money, and the [[Krusty Krab]] will get more profits through kiddie meals (which he raises the price of from $1.99 to $4.99). However, he sees that the children are all at a new playground, and decides to make a playground of his own, [[Krabby Land (place)|Krabby Land]].

One morning, SpongeBob looks at his calendar and realizes that it is the first day of summer, and he gets excited. When he goes to work, he sees Mr. Krabs even more excited for summer. SpongeBob asks him why, and he says that on summer vacation, children go around spending money, and the [[Krusty Krab]] will get more profits through kiddie meals, which he raises the price of from $1.99 to $4.99. However, he sees that the children are all at a new playground, and decides to make a playground of his own called [[Krabby Land (location)|Krabby Land]].
   
−
At work the next day, Mr. Krabs reveals the grand opening of Krabby Land, which he proudly built himself. Krabby Land is little more than a dopey-looking assembly of cheap (and dangerous) attractions such as Fort Adventure, which is nothing more than a collection of big stinky mattresses and other junk. The Dumpster of Doom is another disgusting gem in Mr. Krabs' new nightmare playground. The other attractions are even more terrible, yet bordering on laughable.

At work the next day, Mr. Krabs reveals the grand opening of Krabby Land, which he proudly built himself. When it is uncovered, it is revealed to be little more than an unbelievably dopey-looking assembly of cheaply made and dangerous attractions that will definitely collapse under their own weight. The children are horrified, yet speechless with disappointment, but Mr. Krabs gives them coloring books/liability waivers and says that whoever hands theirs back gets to meet "Krabby the Clown." He tells them that the clown will come soon, and tells SpongeBob to stall the kids while he counts the money.

The children are horrified, yet speechless with disappointment, but Mr. Krabs gives them coloring books/liability waivers and says that whoever hands theirs back gets to meet "the one and only Krabby the Clown". He tells them that Krabby the Clown will come soon, and tells SpongeBob to stall them while he counts the money. SpongeBob pretends to be Krabby's sidekick "the Krabby Patty Burgular", and the children hate him. He accidentally injures himself while trying to amuse them, which makes them laugh. He realizes that they like pain, and begins intentionally harming himself, even hiring two thugs to torture him by feeding him lima beans.

SpongeBob pretends to be Krabby's sidekick, "the Krabby Patty Burglar," but the children hate him. He accidentally injures himself while trying to amuse them by blowing [[bubbles (object)|bubbles]] and getting soap liquid in his eyes, which makes the kids laugh. He realizes that the kids like it when he is in pain, and begins intentionally harming himself, even hiring two thugs to torture him by feeding him lima beans.

After a while, SpongeBob goes to Mr. Krabs, who is sorting through a large stack of money, presumably the children's, and tells him that he can't stall anymore, being horribly beaten and missing limbs. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob he's being selfish and tells him to "get back to work", but upon seeing SpongeBob's limbs flying around (the children were using them as boomerangs), he fears that his windows will be smashed, and soon, Krabby the Clown (Mr. Krabs in a tie and tomato nose painted blue) comes out, and says "Hey kids! Thank you all for coming! Thank you! Eat plenty of [[Krabby Patties]]! Ar, ar, ar!" and then walks back into his office. This latest rip-off is the last straw for the children.

After a while, SpongeBob goes to Mr. Krabs, who is sorting through a large stack of money, and tells him that he cannot stall the children anymore, being horribly beaten and missing limbs. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob he is being selfish and tells him to "get back there and stall," but upon seeing SpongeBob's legs flying around, he fears that his windows will be smashed and broken, so he tells him to let the crowd of children enter the restaurant for Krabby the Clown's arrival. Excited, the children and SpongeBob rush in front of Mr. Krabs, who welcomes Krabby the Clown. However, it turns out that Mr. Krabs turns around and immediately puts on a bow tie and a blue-painted tomato on his nose, and does a cheap imitation of the clown. He then walks back into his office, leaving the children and SpongeBob jaw-dropped in confusion. This latest rip-off is the last straw for the children and SpongeBob.
   
−
An extremely disappointed SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs, saying that he expected Krabby the Clown, but all he saw was "Cheapy the Cheapskate." Mr. Krabs undresses from his costume and finally says to SpongeBob that he does not care about the children but for their money and is willing to do whatever it takes to get their money (even if it means having to scam them with a cheap and dangerous playground and a talentless clown) and even calls the kids stupid and foolish enough to be the victims of his scam. He then taunts SpongeBob for being unable to stop him in time by saying twice, "Survival of the fittest."

An extremely disappointed SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs, expressing his disdain for such a rip-off and called him "Cheapy the Cheapskate." Mr. Krabs undresses from his costume and finally admits that he does not care about the children, but for the money of their parents and is willing to do whatever it takes to get their money, and even calls the kids being the victims of his scam no skin of his nose. He then taunts SpongeBob for being unable to stop him in time by saying twice, "Survival of the fittest."

Mr. Krabs tries to go to the bank with the money he has made but he is confronted by an angry mob of children who have overheard his confession and are planning to punish him. Mr. Krabs, realizing that he is about to be punished and has given the kids his confession which was not taken well; tries to reconcile but fails as the kids charge, beat him up, destroy the playground, take back their money and distribute it back to themselves. They also pay the thugs that SpongeBob worked with earlier, to tied up Mr. Krabs and feed him lima beans and to face the other tortures they made SpongeBob face.

Inside, SpongeBob is disappointed that he will never learn the true meaning of summer. Monroe then calls SpongeBob over about the summer miracle, where the kids take back all their money and distribute it back to themselves. SpongeBob guesses it is the true meaning of summer, but he asks Squidward where Mr. Krabs is, who is missing out the summer fun. The scene cuts to Mr. Krabs, tied on fours between wooden poles, who wants the return his "green stuff" and begs for freedom. However, the thugs, paid by the children for his swindling, only reply to him with a can of lima beans and a truckload of them, causing him distress by the torture like what SpongeBob did earlier.

**This episode and "[[The Camping Episode]]" were the second episode pairing to premiere on the same day as the Kids' Choice Awards. The first was "[[Help Wanted]]"/"[[Reef Blower]]"/"[[Tea at the Treedome]]" in {{Time|1999}}.

**This is the second episode where SpongeBob calls Gary "Gare-Bear." The first is "[[Krab Borg]]."
⚫
}}
  
  ⚫
*The title card is shown on a small poster during the middle of the episode.
−
*The final scene with the kids rioting against Mr. Krabs and taking his money for making a poor character as Krabby the Clown is a likely reference to a 1993 incident at a shopping mall where [[w:c:barney:Barney the Dinosaur|Barney]] was billed, but the children became enraged and destructive when a skinny impostor appeared on stage. This may also be akin to the Simpsons episode "Kamp Krusty" when Bart spearheads a revolution against Mr. Black's oppression after seeing [[w:c:simpsons:Barney Gumble|Barney]] hired to be a knockoff Krusty.
  
  +
**This episode marks the first time the title card is shown in the episode itself.
−
*The attractions in Krabby Land include: "Rocketship Fantistica" (a garbage barrel hanging by a rope), "Dumpster of Doom" (a bashed-in dumpster with the name spray painted on the side), "Hose World" (hoses hanging from a bar), "Fort Adventure" (a pile of nasty mattresses and other junk), "Toaster Rodeo" (toasters attached to springs), a stack of tires, an old rusty slide, and a bowling ball pool.
  
  +
*This episode was foreshadowed in "[[Squid on Strike]]" when SpongeBob holds up a sign that reads "Krusty Krab Funfair" due to mishearing Squidward, which attracts a line of customers who think there is an amusement park at the Krusty Krab.
−
*One of the children goes down a slide at Krabby Land and the slide ends up breaking and the kid is thrown off, to the ground. He must have sustained some head trauma, which lead to apparent memory loss, as he inquires, "Where am I?" In real life, if this happened, Mr. Krabs would inevitably been sent to prison for child endangerment.
  
  +
*The attractions in Krabby Land include:
⚫
*On October 28, 2007, the [[Best Day Ever marathon]] in the Netherlands named this episode number one.
  
  +
**"Rocketship Fantistica" (a garbage barrel hanging by a rope)
−
*This episode, and its sister episode, "[[The Camping Episode]]," were the last episodes where the closed captions were ahead of the characters' speech.
  
  +
**"Pit of Doom" (a bashed-in dumpster with the name spray-painted on the side, it appears to be full of lima beans)
−
*The time card is designed the same as the title card for "[[Reef Blower]]," but with black color in the background.
  
  +
**"Hose World" (hoses hanging from a bar)
−
*SpongeBob had no arms or legs when the kids took them and used them as boomerangs, but in other episodes they grow back right after he loses them. When he walks out the back door to the children, his arms and legs are back.

If you were looking for the article about the playground, then see Krabby Land (location).

"Krabby Land" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season 3. In this episode, Mr. Krabs builds a children's playground.

Characters

Note: Most of the incidental characters in this episode are kid versions of themselves.

Synopsis

Krabby Land 023

"Tell me more about summer break."

One morning, SpongeBob looks at his calendar and realizes that it is the first day of summer, and he gets excited. When he goes to work, he sees Mr. Krabs even more excited for summer. SpongeBob asks him why, and he says that on summer vacation, children go around spending money, and the Krusty Krab will get more profits through kiddie meals, which he raises the price of from $1.99 to $4.99. However, he sees that the children are all at a new playground, and decides to make a playground of his own called Krabby Land.

At work the next day, Mr. Krabs reveals the grand opening of Krabby Land, which he proudly built himself. When it is uncovered, it is revealed to be little more than an unbelievably dopey-looking assembly of cheaply made and dangerous attractions that will definitely collapse under their own weight. The children are horrified, yet speechless with disappointment, but Mr. Krabs gives them coloring books/liability waivers and says that whoever hands theirs back gets to meet "Krabby the Clown." He tells them that the clown will come soon, and tells SpongeBob to stall the kids while he counts the money.

SpongeBob pretends to be Krabby's sidekick, "the Krabby Patty Burglar," but the children hate him. He accidentally injures himself while trying to amuse them by blowing bubbles and getting soap liquid in his eyes, which makes the kids laugh. He realizes that the kids like it when he is in pain, and begins intentionally harming himself, even hiring two thugs to torture him by feeding him lima beans.

Krabby Land 154

After a while, SpongeBob goes to Mr. Krabs, who is sorting through a large stack of money, and tells him that he cannot stall the children anymore, being horribly beaten and missing limbs. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob he is being selfish and tells him to "get back there and stall," but upon seeing SpongeBob's legs flying around, he fears that his windows will be smashed and broken, so he tells him to let the crowd of children enter the restaurant for Krabby the Clown's arrival. Excited, the children and SpongeBob rush in front of Mr. Krabs, who welcomes Krabby the Clown. However, it turns out that Mr. Krabs turns around and immediately puts on a bow tie and a blue-painted tomato on his nose, and does a cheap imitation of the clown. He then walks back into his office, leaving the children and SpongeBob jaw-dropped in confusion. This latest rip-off is the last straw for the children and SpongeBob.

An extremely disappointed SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs, expressing his disdain for such a rip-off and called him "Cheapy the Cheapskate." Mr. Krabs undresses from his costume and finally admits that he does not care about the children, but for the money of their parents and is willing to do whatever it takes to get their money, and even calls the kids being the victims of his scam no skin of his nose. He then taunts SpongeBob for being unable to stop him in time by saying twice, "Survival of the fittest."

Mr. Krabs tries to go to the bank with the money he has made, but he is confronted by an angry mob of children who have overheard his confession and are planning to punish him. Mr. Krabs, realizing that he is about to be punished and has given the kids his confession which was not taken well, tries to reconcile, but fails as the kids charge, beat him up, and destroy the playground.

Inside, SpongeBob is disappointed that he will never learn the true meaning of summer. Monroe then calls SpongeBob over about the summer miracle, where the kids take back all their money and distribute it back to themselves. SpongeBob guesses it is the true meaning of summer, but he asks Squidward where Mr. Krabs is, who is missing out the summer fun. The scene cuts to Mr. Krabs, tied on fours between wooden poles, who wants the return his "green stuff" and begs for freedom. However, the thugs, paid by the children for his swindling, only reply to him with a can of lima beans and a truckload of them, causing him distress by the torture like what SpongeBob did earlier.
