"Pat No Pay" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season 5. In this episode, Patrick must work at the Krusty Krab because he can't pay for his food.

Characters[]

Synopsis[]

In the beginning of the episode, it's a slow day at the Krusty Krab and Mr. Krabs checks the empty cash register. Just then, Patrick walks in and develops (what SpongeBob calls it) Krabby Patty withdrawal. Mr. Krabs is eager to have a customer and asks Patrick if he could pay for the Krabby Patty. Patrick says he could and proceeds to eat 50 Krabby Patties with extra cheese. When Mr. Krabs gives Patrick the bill, he realizes Patrick didn't have any money, so he puts him to work to pay off the Krabby Patties as punishment for not paying for his meal.

Pat No Pay 047

"I accidentally tried the hand soap."

However, Patrick messes up on all of the jobs. He tries cleaning the bathroom floor, but Mr. Krabs catches him eating the hand soap (and commenting that it doesn't taste as good as it smells). He tries placing ice cube trays into a barrel, but he destroys the freezer and the ice cubes. So Mr. Krabs places him in a room with a large trash chute and threatens to never give him another Krabby Patty if he messes up this job, so Patrick places full trash bags into the machine, an easy job that he handles well until SpongeBob walks in to check on him. SpongeBob is carrying a bag of money that Mr. Krabs wants him to put in the safe. When Patrick is struggling to finish the job of getting rid of the garbage, SpongeBob tells him that he didn't flip the power switch down, so when he did, all the trash bags went down. Patrick thanks SpongeBob, but then he notices the money bag over SpongeBob's shoulder and immediately thinks he forgot one. He takes the sack, and despite SpongeBob's loud protests, places it into the shredder. Since it is full of money, the shredder cannot slice the bag up, so Patrick flips the power switch up and down, causing the compactor to expand just as Mr. Krabs walks in.

Suddenly, the compactor and the Krusty Krab explode, and the sack of money, which was launched into the air, lands in the compactor, where it is shredded. As bits of paper money fall like snow, Patrick asks an unamused Mr. Krabs if he can eat again, as the episode ends.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • This is the tenth season 5 episode to be shorter than the 11-minute or 6-minute runtime. The first nine are "Rise and Shine," "Waiting," "Good Ol' Whatshisname," "Boat Smarts," "Money Talks," "SpongeBob vs. the Patty Gadget," "The Donut of Shame," "The Krusty Plate," and Picture Day."
    • This is also the twelfth episode to be shorter than the 11-minute or 6-minute runtime. The first two that were not part of season 5 were "Help Wanted" and "Reef Blower."
      • This is also the last episode so far to be shorter than the 6-minute runtime.
  • SpongeBob says that Patrick needs a Krabby Patty or he will whine about it for the next three-and-a-half minutes. That is about the amount of time remaining in the episode by that point. SpongeBob breaks the fourth wall by saying this.
  • The things that Patrick does wrong:
    • Eating all the hand soap
    • Destroying the refrigerator
    • Making the trash compactor back up, causing the restaurant to explode and be destroyed, and then slice up Mr. Krabs' money.
  • This is the second episode where Patrick eats large quantities of food without paying. The first is "Rule of Dumb."
  • Much like in the short "The Endless Summer," Tom Kenny, Clancy Brown, and Bill Fagerbakke are the only voice actors in this episode.
  • This is the first episode where no new APM Music or original music tracks are introduced.
  • The title card is the same as the "4 to 6 weeks later" time card from "Hocus Pocus."

Errors[]

Mr

Mr. Krabs' weirdly colored lashes.

  • Right before Mr. Krabs pulls out a Krabby Patty with extra cheese, his eyelashes are colored beige instead of brown.
  • When Mr. Krabs is offering a Krabby Patty with extra cheese and Patrick tries to get it, the cash register between them is missing.
  • When the camera pans down to the filthy floor in the bathroom, Mr. Krabs talks but his mouth remains open.
PNP Errror

Patrick's left eyebrow is missing.

  • When Mr. Krabs catches Patrick eating the hand soap, Patrick's left eyebrow is missing for a few seconds.
  • When Mr. Krabs says to Patrick "I got another job that even a nimrod like you couldn't mess up.", his voice is a little bit muffled.
  • Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to put the bag of money into his safe and he goes into the trash room where Patrick is putting the bags in, even though the safe is right over Mr. Krabs' left shoulder in his office.
  • When Patrick is throwing down the trash bags, the trash compactor switch cannot be seen.
  • When SpongeBob pulls the trash compactor switch and he and Patrick watch the trash go down, it looks like an endless hole but when the back of Patrick is shown with the whole dollar $ bag that shreds, the trash from before can be seen at that point.
  • The trash compactor should have also exploded at the end because it was what caused the Krusty Krab to explode in the first place.
  • The trash compactor should not have destroyed the trash; it should have compacted it into cubes like it does in real life.
