Synopsis

The episode starts with Squidward's clock ringing. He pokes his head in the kitchen and yells at SpongeBob to go home. SpongeBob was obliviously not paying attention. A minute later SpongeBob's watch beeps and says it's quitting time. He asks Squidward why is he still here and Squidward, frustrated, runs out yelling angrily. He stuffed the Krabby Patty in his wallet. Then SpongeBob takes out the trash. SpongeBob is then confronted by Sandy, who he thinks is a garbage monster. Sandy then pulls out a book that holds all of the records in Bikini Bottom. Sandy claims she wants to beat every record in Bikini Bottom. After beating two records, SpongeBob realizes he forgot his camera, angering Sandy. When he returns, Sandy had constructed many robots to help keep track of her records. After SpongeBob leaves Sandy to clean Gary's litter box, he finds out Sandy has become obsessed with the record book. He then attempts to grab the book, only to be crushed in a robot machine for another record. Sandy then finds out and says she is done with the book anyone. The author for the book then enters the treedome and verifies the book is over 30 years old and that the records have already been broken. Yet, he claims SpongeBob had broken a record for having so many injuries from helping a friend. At the end, SpongeBob crumbles to pieces and the author takes a picture.

Trivia

Template:Trivia

• It is revealed that Sandy has 100 woodchuck cousins, with one named Earl.
  • Ironically, woodchucks are a type of ground squirrel, which is also known as groundhogs.
• This is the first time Plankton has a customer by selling chum without any assistance.
• The way SpongeBob is sliced by the chainsaws slightly resembles his sliced body shown in the intro of the cartoon.
• This is the second time Sandy's robots are seen. The first being "House Sittin' for Sandy."
  • However, in this episode, the robots roll on wheels instead of walking.
• This is the second time someone plays Solitaire. The first was in "Bucket Sweet Bucket" in which was played by SpongeBob on the computer of Karen, but in this episode we see how Patrick plays Solitaire.
• This episode and "Extreme Spots" are both part of Season 9, but aired while Season 8 was still airing.
• It is unknown how Sandy got the cobras in her treedome. It's also strange why the cobras are smaller than Sandy when in real life cobras are larger than squirrels, but it's possible she shrunk them or it simply follows cartoon logic.
• Running Gag: Sandy trying to break records and SpongeBob getting hurt.
• This episode is similar to "Prehibernation Week." In both episodes, SpongeBob assists Sandy but gets injured many times in the process.
• There is a game based on this episode called "Guinness O'Ripley's Extreme Arcade of World Records".
• There was originally a scene where Sandy finds a record saying World's Fattest Body. This was cut because it was rather similar to the inflation Sandy had in "Bubble Troubles."
• The second time Squidward use megaphone. The first was "Squid on Strike."

Cultural References

• This episode's title is a pun of "World Record".
• Sandy's record book is a parody of the Guinness Book of World Records & Ripley's Believe It Or Not.

Errors

• In an advertisement for this episode it said Sandy and SpongeBob perform the "110 yard tongue pull". However, on Sandy's tongue it shows inches, not yards.
• SpongeBob tells Sandy that he smells Gary's sandbox, but when SpongeBob is talking to Gary he calls it his litter box.
• When SpongeBob puts a patty in his wallet there is his milkshake dispenser card, but in the next scene, when SpongeBob took out the patty after Sandy had raw chum, it had a picture of a cowboy saying "Yee Haw!".
• When SpongeBob measured Sandy's tongue, he fell and his sleeves, arms, and camera were shown outside his helmet after, but in the next scene, they were inside his helmet.
• After SpongeBob was crushed on the machine, he did not wear a helmet, but was able to breathe.
