PlotEdit

SpongeBob begins the episode by failing one of his many boating exams. Mrs. Puff, tired of administrating boating exams for SpongeBob, makes SpongeBob take a (what she calls) extra credit exam, where SpongeBob has to write about one thing he learned in boating school. SpongeBob cannot decide, gets nervous, and starts having a spaz attack. But Mrs. Puff, completely tired of SpongeBob, lets him pass anyway. After SpongeBob leaves, Mrs. Puff considers that she has done the wrong thing, and starts feeling guilt. Later when Mrs. Puff gets home, she opens the door and SpongeBob and his parents are inside with a huge cake yelling "SURPRISE!" Mrs. Puff, surprised, starts feeling guilt again when SpongeBob's parents thank her for teaching SpongeBob how to drive. Then, SpongeBob gets a surprise when he sees that his parents bought him a brand new boatmobile. Suprised, SpongeBob falls into the cake. SpongeBob's parents drive him home (as seen in the picture above.) They tuck him into his bed and tell him that he cannot drive anywhere that night. When his parents are gone home, he sneaks out his bedroom window, gets into the car, and falls asleep. Not long after, Mrs. Puff highjacks SpongeBob's car and steals it. SpongeBob then wakes up constantly saying "You're not gonna get away with stealing my car" and him and Mrs. Puff start to fight. Then, he finds out that the thief is Mrs. Puff, and then the car crashes into a police car, and Mrs. Puff is arrested and put in jail for a short term. As for SpongeBob, he gets his license taken away.

APM Music IdentificationEdit

• Hen Pecker - Title card, SpongeBob tries to get Mrs. Puff out of his boat.
• Gaggle Girls - "Hi, Boaty..."

TriviaEdit

• Boaty appears years later in the video game Spongebob's Boating Bash under the name woody its unlockable via points or cheats
• The accident company has the same phone number as the Tattletale Strangler (555-1234).
• The 4th Wall is Broken when the French Narrator is run over by SpongeBob at the beginning of the episode
• This is the 3rd episode where Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Sandy are all absent. The 1st was Walking Small, and the 2nd was Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy ll.

• SpongeBob and his parents hold a surprise for Mrs. Puff. When Mrs. Puff enters, a small picture of her standing at the door in the same shot can be seen. In addition, the same picture is seen within this picture. This is an example of a recursive image, one that is repeated infinitely within itself.
• When Mrs. Puff gives SpongeBob his drivers license, he licks it and comments "It tastes just like I dreamt it would". Incidentally, he dreams he holds a drivers license and licks it in "Sleepy Time".
• After SpongeBob and his parents leave her house, Mrs. Puff says, "I gotta move out of town and change my name! ... No, not again." This implies that she has actually done so in the past which means that Mrs. Puff mightn't even be her real name.
• When SpongeBob is being grated by cheese graters, his eyes come out the graters twice.
• When Mrs. Puff yells, "Extra Credit!", runs to SpongeBob with his unicycle, and leads him back into the classroom, the unicycle disappears.
• When Mrs. Puff imagines the news report on the destruction caused by SpongeBob, it says "Live", but at the end the of the report, when SpongeBob runs over the reporter, the reporter says "let's not use that take..."
• If looked upon closely, SpongeBob has written on his paper, "What I learned in Boating School is how to drive" and if you look in the manga it says pays off.

• This is the last episode to use the running gag "My Leg!" until "Krusty Krushers", and as well the very last episode with the "MY LEG!!" gag in the Hillenburg era (1999–2004).
• The cliff that the police car is parked next to disappears in the next shot.
• Although SpongeBob is seen coming out of the radio slot in the car, earlier on in the episode this same radio is shown (when Mrs. Puff is first stealing the Boat) it still had a SpongeBob-like appearence before the event occured.
• There are candles on top of SpongeBob's bedposts that are lit. When SpongeBob's mom turns the lights out in his room, the candles go out too.
• In this episode, SpongeBob's room is missing his clock, the top part of his bed, and has a new wallpaper.
• When SpongeBob climbs inside Boaty, he is wearing socks. Although, seconds before, his socks fell on Boaty's floor.
• Boaty is much wider than Mrs. Puff's front door, though it still ends up in Mrs. Puff's house.
• This is the 2nd time Mrs. Puff goes to jail. The first was in Hall Monitor.
• 18th time Patrick doesn't appear.
• The episode's name was mentioned in Gary in Love.
• MY LEG: SpongeBob crashes into the table just as somebody having a birthday party.
• Even though it is the final boating school exam for the year, SpongeBob says that he will see Mrs. Puff next Tuesday.
• A scribbled out word that says "Pat" can be seen at the bottom of SpongeBob's paper.
• In the scene where the cops look at the boat, it is downhill, but when the boat comes towards them it goes off a cliff. When it focuses on the cops again, it is back downhill, making the boat look like it got into the air from nowhere.
• The title card is the same as when SpongeBob is chasing Patrick from Big Pink Loser.
• Mrs.Puff said that Spongebob had -224 points during the test, but later she says the final score was 6 points.
• SpongeBob's wallpaper on his room looks so different.

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

• In the scene where Mrs.Puff starts driving faster with Spongebob's boat the scene is in 3-D
• The radio station that Spongebob hosted was called K.R.U.D.
• In the episode Spongebob says his first line (in the episode) "What happen?" but to some people it looks like Spongebob saying "Whapping".
