==Synopsis==
SpongeBob and Patrick are playing with the rubber bands from their newspapers . They then hear chirping and both say they didn't make the noise. They spot a baby scallop in a coral tree who was making the noise. They name him "Junior " and decide to adopt, with SpongeBob as the Mom and Patrick as the Dad. However, the next day patrick eats breakfast and then explains that he has to go to work as he is the dad thus leaving SpongeBob to do all the house work. He promises to give SpongeBob a break when he gets home. He eventually returns home only to be exausted from work, and then decideds to sit on the chair and watch TV for the rest of the night. This goes on for several days until SpongeBob can't take it anymore. Eventually, SpongeBob angrily lashes out at [[File:Rock-a-bye_bivalve.jpg|thumb|left|150px|SpongeBob and Patrick, walking out of his house and taking Junior for a stroll.]]Patrick. He then shows all the diapers that junior used. Patrick then realized the error of his ways and promised to come home at 6:00 and give SpongeBob the whole night off. However he returns at 12:00 Midnight from a party at work. SpongeBob isn't happy and follows Patrick only to find out that "work" consists of Patrick watching television under his rock.

Reception

  • "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve" was ranked #89 during the Best Day Ever event from November 9–10, 2006.

Release

Trivia

Template:Trivia

  • When SpongeBob is wearing hair rollers on his head, he has orange hair.
  • Normally in the show, worms are parodied as dogs, while snails are parodied as cats. Yet in this episode the worm was really a real worm. This is possibly because it is from the land, not the sea.
  • This is  the most controversial episode to date due to the homosexuality references (SpongeBob and Patrick living together, having a child - possibly a reference to gay marriage).
  • Due to SpongeBob and Patrick's "relationship" in this episode many people accused this as promoting gay marriage.
  • This episode has the most time cards with a total of five time cards.
  • For some reason, when SpongeBob and Patrick are trying to save Junior from falling out the window, SpongeBob tells him to jump into his pocket.
  • The SpongeBob puppet in the episode blinks his eyes and looks at Patrick while SpongeBob doesn't.
  • When SpongeBob shows funny faces, you can see the side of his head before he reveals he is using a puppet.
  • The word "bivalve" is another name for a mollusk, an oyster, or a clam.
  • When Patrick realizes what's wrong, the puppet appears to be living just like SpongeBob as he made a regular face. This could be related to SpongeBob's budding as seen in Pressure.
  • Patrick reveals he has worn diapers for almost a year after changing Junior for the first time, but in most of his other appearances he is shown wearing briefs. Another time he was seen wearing diapers was in "Money Talks."
  • In certain countries, Patrick's line "Let's have another." along with SpongeBob's shocked reaction to the quote were cut out.
  • SpongeBob stores used diapers in the refrigerator, the couch, and the walls. While these are all weird places to put diapers, the refrigerator is the worst, as it's never a good idea to put used diapers anywhere near food.
  • Patrick went off to his "job" while SpongeBob stayed home with Junior. He could have just made Patrick stay home with Junior while he went to his own job at the Krusty Krab, or brought Junior with him to work. But this episode might possibly take place sometime before SpongeBob got his job at The Krusty Krab.
  • Running gag: Patrick watching someone getting hit on the head with a coconut & keeps breaking promises with SpongeBob also, SpongeBob works on chores.
  • SpongeBob's "OVERTIME?!?!" scream has become a popular meme on the Internet due to the fact that it has hilarious outputs and it also has the stereotypical Asian face.
  • When the last pile of diapers is shown, it is on top of Squidward's House.

Cultural References

  • When the worm says "We will bury you!" It is a reference to a famous speech by a Russian leader, Nikita Kruschev in which he took off his shoe and slammed it on the podium saying in Russian "America, we will bury you."
  • While doing chores and caring for Junior, SpongeBob has multiple arms, a possible reference to the Hindu god, Vishnu.
  • The title is a pun on the traditional lullaby "Rock-a-Bye Baby" since the title is referring to the baby clam.

  • When SpongeBob and Patrick are trying to grab Junior before he fell to the ground, there are various closed captioning errors.
    • Junior's mouth stops moving when he's crying and it doesn't match the lip sync on his mouth.
    • When SpongeBob and Patrick are trying to catch Junior, SpongeBob says "come to daddy," but SpongeBob was the "mommy".
  • After the tomorrow time card SpongeBob is using his foot to vacuum, but when he comes into the door when Patrick watches TV, he is using his hand.
  • In the scene after the tomorrow time card, SpongeBob is shown with a black tie, and changes back to red in the next scene; this also happened in "Plankton!".

  • When Junior was in SpongeBob's pants, SpongeBob was in his underwear. When he goes to feed him, SpongeBob's pants are back on.
  • Unless the motor on Gary's skateboard was connected on the wheels on the underside, then it shouldn't have been able to move.
