Plot
While at the Bikini Bottom Mall, SpongeBob and Patrick find shirts that say Best Friend with an arrow pointing. The arrow points to the side (indicating their best friend). However, when either of the them face a different direction, the arrow points elsewhere, thus "sending out the wrong signals." So, they decide to look for new friendship clothes. SpongeBob finds a group of citizens who were putting on an annual event, which was reenacting the historical Battle of Bikini Bottom. Patrick believes it was a fight between cleanliness and dirtiness, but it was incorrect. SpongeBob soon learned that Patrick has never washed his hands, which bother him. SpongeBob and Patrick start to fight over hygiene. Spongebob tries to clean/ deodorize Patrick, while Patrick tries to dirty and gross out Spongebob. The fight doesn't last long, since they finally come together when Patrick ends up clean and SpongeBob ends up dirty and spongebob tell's the battlers that it's not on the outside, it's what's on the inside.
Trivia
- Patrick has washed his hands as seen in the episode "Something Smells" and although he never did wash his hands in "Naughty Nautical Neighbors" he still verified that he should have washed his hands. He also showed to Squidward that his hands were clean in "Shanghaied", and he took a bath in "Krusty Towers". Thus indictating that this episode took place before those episodes.
- The Battle of Bikini Bottom could be a parody of the Battle of Bunker Hill, judging from the military uniforms.
- This episode was set to premiere with "Banned in Bikini Bottom" but aired with "20,000 Patties Under the Sea" instead.
- This is the second time Patrick is in garbage. The first being "Missing Identity".
- SpongeBob said that Patrick didn't have a nose, but in "Opposite Day", he had one to be Squidward, in "Survival of the Idiots", he had one made of snow, in "Wet Painters", he pulled a lot of hair from the hole with the paintbrush, in "Missing Identity", he said that he wished he had one, in "A Flea in Her Dome", he had Squidward's nose, and in "No Nose Knows" he had one (but that was a future episode).
- Patrick, has brushed his teeth as seen in the episode "Dumped" and although he said "A clean mouth is a happy mouth." in "Rise and Shine".
- Patrick grew a nose in this episode Which he did not use these ability in "No Nose Knows".
- This is the second time Patrick gets a pedicure. The first being "Good Neighbors".
- A scene from this episode was shown in a Raving Rabids:TV Party commercial.
- The title of this episode may very well be a reference to the video game Battle for Bikini Bottom.
- It is revealed in this episode that Spongebob has his own built in self defense. He has 2 sets of eyeballs. one in the front and one in the back. The front ones are water spewing bombs.
- In Arrgh, Patrick said he hasn't bathed in weeks but this still means he has bathed.
- The soap that SpongeBob raises in the air is like the soap in the movie Fight Club. His pose is reminiscent of Brad Pitt holding the soap on the cover.
