Plot

It is an average day at the Krusty Krab, until a man named Bubble Bass comes along and makes an order. Spongebob quickly serves him, but he complains about there being no pickles on the patty, much to Spongebob's horror. Mr. Krabs takes it out of his pay because Bubble Bass reads the microscopic print below the menu that says "Money Back Guarantee" on it. SpongeBob loses his confidence (and his mind), and cannot remember how to do anything. Mr. Krabs tells him to go home and get some rest. He has Squidward take over the grill, which leads to disaster, with Squidward burning all the food and driving away customers.

Mr. Krabs is worried about losing money, so he goes to SpongeBob's house, where everything is mixed up (such as eggs being nailed to the walls). Mr. Krabs explains to SpongeBob that if he remembers how to make a Krabby Patty, he will be back in order. It takes days, but SpongeBob eventually learns how to make a Krabby Patty properly again. He returns to the Krusty Krab, where Bubble Bass confronts him again. Spongebob serves him his meal confidently, but Bubble Bass announces again that there are no pickles. However, Spongebob reveals that Bubble Bass has been hiding the pickles under his tongue the whole time, as well as one woman's car keys. Bubble Bass runs away, and everyone cheers at Spongebob's return.

Trivia/Goofs

  • Before SpongeBob makes the second Krabby Patty, he looks at his reflection in the spatula. In all other episodes his spatula has slits, but here it is solid.
  • This episode and "Help Wanted" are the only two that show SpongeBob's bed is on the right side of his room.
  • Closed captions misspell "Bubble Bass" as "Bubble Bath".
  • Bubble Bass is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
  • In this episode, SpongeBob says the ingredients of the Krabby Patty, although he does not mention the secret ingredient. In Plankton!, SpongeBob also lists the parts of the patty, but says them differently.
  • SpongeBob goes back to the Krusty Krab, he is wearing his hat. When he looks into the spatula, the hat is gone, but is back on in all other scenes.
  • On the menu, Krabby Patty is mispelled as "Krabby Pattie".
  • Bubble Bass asks for his money back, although he was never seen paying in the first place.
  • Bubble Bass reappears in "F.U.N.".
  • When Spongebob regains his knowledge of making Krabby Patties, the order of his ingredients is switched around. For example, at the beginning of the episode, he had ketchup and mustard immediately following the patty, but when he unknowingly makes a Krabby Patty correctly in front of Mr. Krabs, the ketchup and mustard is more towards the top.
  • Bubble Bass tells Squidward he is ordering, "a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe on a raft, 4x4, animal-style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.". He never received his order, however, beecause Squidward replies "We serve food here.".
