— Patrick talking about testing his and SpongeBob's life insurance, "Life Insurance"
|
The Sushi-Maker is a dangerous obstacle course that appears in the episodes "Life Insurance" and "Friendiversary."
Description[]
The Sushi-Maker is made up of various dangerous objects, which include lava, spikes, a wheel of coral that crushes against anything that is on the conveyor belt, boxing gloves punching downwards towards the conveyor belt, and mechanical hands that stretch whoever is on the conveyor belt, then turn them into a ball shape and put them in a cannon that shoots them towards a bell on a school.
Role in series[]
"Life Insurance"[]
It appears when Patrick and SpongeBob want to put their life insurance to the test and show Squidward that it works. However, before trying it, SpongeBob and Patrick hand over their life insurance to Squidward as they think he needs it more than they do. Squidward does not believe it works at first but after he does not get hurt by some devastating coincidences, he finally decides to try the sushi maker.
Mr. Krabs then arrives and explains to SpongeBob and Patrick that life insurance doesn't protect someone from anything but is actually money the beneficiary receives when someone die. SpongeBob grabs the life insurance from Squidward's pocket and gives it to Mr. Krabs to sign as he is interested in the money. Mr. Krabs then enthusiastically chants "Go Squidward" so he could get the money if Squidward dies while attempting the course.
Realizing their mistake, SpongeBob and Patrick try to get Squidward down by shaking the ladder but he falls off the diving board into the course. He lands in a tub of boiling lava, jumps out in pain, hits the spring, and flies into a steel wall. He falls onto the spiky conveyor belt's lever, which turns it on. He then falls onto the conveyor belt and it takes him to the rolling wheel with sharp corals on it. Squidward gets rolled on by the sharp corals, leaving his face bruised. Next, he gets pummeled by boxing gloves until he becomes liquid. The liquefied Squidward falls onto a chair. Four robotic arms grab him, stretch him, and roll him up into a ball.
He is placed into a cannon which fires him far off into the distance until he hits the high school bell. He falls in front of the front doors just as the high school students march out and trample him, leaving him badly injured in the end, but still alive.
"Friendiversary"[]
Squidward uses the sushi-maker as a last resort to help SpongeBob regain his memory of the combination to the Krabby Patty secret formula. Successfully retaining his memory of it, SpongeBob shakes the ladder letting him know, which causes Squidward to fall into the sushi-maker and get injured by it as SpongeBob recites the combination as "three impacts to the right, five punchings to the left, six stretched limbs to the right, and 57 school children to the left."
