Plot

SpongeBob visits Patrick's house and tells him he got in the mail a video of the lost episode of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. They begin watching. It begins with the Mermaid Man theme song.

After the narrator announces the name of the episode (The Secret Meeting) it shows Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy spying on the Dirty Bubble. He is taking a bus to Bikini Bottom. The two heroes decide to stop whatever evil he is doing. Then the scene cuts to the Dirty Bubble coming out of the bus, laughing, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy watching. Then, Man Ray, Jumbo Shrimp. Atomic Flounder, and Sinister Slug join the Dirty Bubble. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are worried at this team up. The Dirty Bubble welcomes the villains to the B.G.A.T.F.B.C, which shall be held at the Evil Hotel, April 3, at noon.

Patrick's television becomes filled with static. Patrick yells angrily and SpongeBob quickly repairs the tape. They start watching again.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy discuss what to do. Mermaid acknowledges that they are out-manned, but they are one step ahead of the villains. He takes a shell and uses it as a phone. He asks for the 'Ocean's greatest heroes' and is told to hold.

The narrator then says "Meanwhile, outside motel Evil," and the scene shows the villains gathering around the building. They enter the building to find two men in white coats sitting at a long table reserved for the villains. The Dirty Bubble says the two men have to leave. One man, who is really Mermaid Man says he thought it was set aside for the I.J.L.S.A. The Dirty Bubble demands to know what it is, and Mermaid takes off the white coat, revealing who he is. The villains are surprised. Mermaid Man introduces the villains to the I.J.L.S.A. First the Elastic Waistband is seen, then Professor Magma, followed by Miss Appear, and the Pi-Right Ponderer. They begin to battle. Barnacle Boy is touched by the Atomic Flounder, and grows an evil arm, and is knocked out. The Dirty Bubble shoots Man Ray out of his mouth and fires at the Elastic Waistband, who blocks with his stretching belly. Mermaid Man jumps to the Evil Arm on Barnacle Boy, who taunts him. The Evil Arm forces Barnacle Boy to swing fists at Mermaid Man. The Elastic Waistband asks what they should do, and Mermaid Man jumps and swings on a chandelier and spins several times in mid-air. He jumps on Barnacle Boy's shoulder and starts wresting with the Arm. It continues to taunt Mermaid Man, and he pulls Barnacle Boy past Professor Magma, using him as a shield, and attacks the Atomic Flounder, who collapses. The Sinister Slug is seen crawling up a wall behind Mermaid Man and SpongeBob screams to "Watch out!" The Slug spits at Mermaid Man. He jumps out of the way and the glop lands on the Slug. SpongeBob and Patrick are happy. The slime from the Sinister Slug hardens and Mermaid Man makes the Evil Arm touch the Atomic Flounder. It explodes and Barnacle Boy wakes up. Mermaid Man then uses the hairnet on the Pi-Right Ponderer as a net and gathers the villains in the hairnet. Mermaid Man demands to know what their group villains' name is, which turns out to be the Bad Guys All Together for Book Club. The Villains sneer, saying they can't arrest them for reading. Mermaid Man confirms this, and tells the audience that no one can arrest you for reading. The show end. End credits begin to show.

Patrick asks SpongeBob what is happening. SpongeBob explains end credits, and Patrick and SpongeBob thank Neptune for the rewind button.

Trivia

• When casette end and closing theme start (on sand tv, (not Back to the Past and The Bad Guy Club for Villains theme )) theme is same but just no CIERRE BOB ESPONJA and image quality is lower.
• The episode's title is a pun on the Hair Club for Men.
• Click here to see the source.
• This episode will be based on a VeggieTales episode "LarryBoy and The League of Incredible Vegetables". The end credits for that video are based on the credits for a Nickelodeon's educational program - "Team Umizoomi." It will be directed by Mike Nawrocki and written by Mark Steele and produced by J. Chris Wall. There are so many refereneces to this:
  • The lost episode's name is "The Ultimate Secret Meeting".
  • The moral "Nobody can be imprisoned for reading."
  • They meet at the hotel gates around 3:00 p.m on July 4 (the 4th of July (or Indepence Day)) instead of 12:00 p.m. on April 3.
  • During the film's conclusion, LarryBoy made a reference from Scooby-Doo rementing "You would've taken over the hotel if not a meddling hero." while the villains from those earlier episodes are caught in a butterfly net.
  • The villians from LarryBoy's classics: The Fib from Outer Space (the Fib), The Rumor Weed (the Rumor Weed), The Bad Apple (The Bad Apple and her sidekick Curly), The Angry Eyebrows (Awful Alvin), Leggo My Ego (The Alchemist and Mother Pearl) and The Yodelnapper (Greta von Gruesome) return in this.
  • The staff of Big Idea decided to reuse the 2D Larryboy Theme Song in that episode with clips from Larry-Boy! & the Fib from Outer Space, Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed and LarryBoy and the Bad Apple.
• This episode premeired with "Back to the Past". However, in "Back to the Past", the younger Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's voices are different from their older versions' voices, while in this episode they have the same voices as their older versions.
• On the villains' cards it says they are gathering at the Evil Hotel, but later, they are at the Motel Evil, also, when they are in front of Motel Evil, the narrator says Hotel Evil
• While Mermaid Man contacts the other heroes, the narrator says 'Meanwhile' and shows the Book Club beginning. However, the meeting was supposed to take place the next day. It must be that the club was early.
• The team of The International Justice League of Super Acquaintances looks much different. Captain Magma is changed to Professor Magma and is just a pile of lava, Miss Appear looks similar to Wonder Woman, and has color changes, and Elastic Waistband has the power to puff up and a different costume. The Quickster has also been replaced by "the Pirite Ponderer." This may be due to it being a lost episode.
• When the I.J.L.S.A. are introduced The Quickster is not there but is replaced by The Pi-Right Ponderer.
• The credits at the end of the lost episode and the actual episode has credits just like the actual show's except the music, Cierre Bob Esponja, is replaced with an action music.
• Pi-Right is a spoof on the mineral "pyrite".
• In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V", the team of superheroes were called the International Justice League of Super Acquaintances, but in this episode they are called the International Justice Lodge of Super Acquaintances. They both stand for I.J.L.S.A.
• Mermalair is called Mermacave.
• The Jumbo Shrimp has claws just like Mr. Krabs.
• If you look closely at the video of the lost episode that SpongeBob is holding at the start of the episode, you'll notice there is a small crack on it.
• Probably the younger Barnacle Boy was about to say a bad word, so they added the static, as they cut him off when he says "Holy --". This may also have been the average Spongebob censorship, "shrimp", "fish paste", "Dear Neptune" or the dolphin chirp censoring only in Sailor Mouth.
• Stephen Hillenburg made Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
• When Mermaid Man is flipping, planning on how he could get Barnacle Boy back, his mouth mever moves.
• Some of the bad guys were seen on MM&BB 2.
• This is the 2nd time Spongebob gets a VHS in the mail. The 1st was Karate Island.
• This is the 2nd time the 1st episode was 15 minutes & the 2nd episode was 6 minutes in a half-hour. The 1st was Shanghaied & Gary Takes A Bath.
• The end credits on the video look just like the credits for the SpongeBob SquarePants show.
• This episode and Back to the Past have Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy appear.
• The Atomic Flounder and Jumbo Shrimp both look different than they do in the episode Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II. In addition, unlike in the previous episode, the Atomic Flounder's incarnation this time looks nothing like a real life flounder.
• The Mermaidman and Barnacleboy Theme Song is simillar to the 1960s Spiderman Theme Song.

Errors

• When SpongeBob was rewinding the tape, you can see that he actually pressed the "Eject" button.
• When the Villians are about to enter the building where their headquarters is taking place, the narrator says that "the sinister hoard congregates outside Hotel Evil", but on the sign outside the building it says Motel Evil.
• The song is an error because the speed of light is 186282 miles per second and a human can only run 20 mph.
