Spat in the Hospital after he is broken while trying to flip a Monster Krabby Patty.

Spat is SpongeBob's spatula. In the episode, "All That Glitters," Spat breaks when someone orders a Monster Krabby Patty. SpongeBob brings Spat to the Bikini Bottom Hospital to recover.

When the doctor recommends that SpongeBob get a replacement spatula, he buys a new intelligent spatula named "Le Spatula." Dissatisfied with the food sold at the Krusty Krab, the new spatula runs away. Afterward, SpongeBob returns to the hospital to check on Spat. SpongeBob assumes that Spat died at first, but he was looking at the wrong spatula. The doctor points out that Spat was actually in the infirmary. Due to SpongeBob's betrayal of Spat when he purchased Le Spatula, Spat rejected SpongeBob. When SpongeBob goes back to work, Spat forgives SpongeBob and comes back to him. The next customer to order a Monster Krabby Patty, SpongeBob breaks his arms.

Looks

He was broken by a Monster Krabby Patty.
