Plot

SpongeBob is at boating school, and Mrs. Puff announces that there's a new student. His name is Flatts the Flounder, and he tells Spongebob that he is going to "kick his butt". Spongebob at first assumes him to be joking, but Flatts soon makes it clear that he really means to beat up Spongebob. Spongebob, who takes this extremely seriously, tries to seek help and to reason with Flatts, but to no avail. He eventually runs away into town, where Flatts attempts to run him over with a garbage truck, while he eventually drives over a banana peel, causing it to flip over. Flatts awakens in the hospital, where he learns that Spongebob saved his life by performing CPR on him for five hours straight. Despite this, Flatts continues to pursue Spongebob. Eventually, he corners Spongebob in his own home, where he proceeds to beat him up. However, SpongeBob's spongey body absorbs the blows, and he is unharmed. Flatts continues to hit Spongebob nonstop throughout all of next week, until he finally faints from exhaustion. His classmates cheer for SpongeBob. However, pitying Flatts, SpongeBob starts a speech, which ends with him making a fist. Mrs. Puff enters and sees SpongeBob making a fist, and believes SpongeBob beat up Flatts. Mrs. Puff then tells Spongebob that she is going to "Kick (his) butt!"

Trivia/Goofs

  • Spongebob's dialogue, as well as the fact that Flatts at one point tries to run him over with a truck, implies that Flatts actually intended to kill Spongebob.
  • While SpongeBob and Flatts are talking, Mrs. Puff is saying "blah blah blah red light blah blah blah green light blah blah speed" in the background.
  • Flats is seen driving a dump truck in the episode, which makes the fact that he is in boating school seem illogical.
  • When the students are clapping for Flatts when he first enters the class, SpongeBob cannot be seen.
  • Flatts also appeared in Texas and Sandy's Rocket.
  • The drawing Flatts makes of himself beating up SpongeBob can be seen on Squidward's chalkboard in "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" video game for PC.
  • When Flatts first walks into the classroom, it shows that the school leads outside. Later, SpongeBob is standing in a hallway, where the door would lead to.
  • When SpongeBob slams against the window of Mrs. Puff's door, there is a window. But when it shows SpongeBob on the ground while talking to Mrs. Puff, there is no window.
  • Flatts apparently recovers from his injuries to chase Spongebob out of the hospital within less than a minute.
  • When SpongeBob smacks into Flatts's dad's car, there is only one seat, later it shows Flatts in the car, too.
  • When the Garbage truck is idling behind SpongeBob, it says "Bikini Bottom Garbage". Later (when running behind SpongeBob) it is blank.
  • When spongebob asks to be excused for the rest of his life, Mrs. Puff denies it, despite desperately wanting to be rid of Spongebob.
  • SpongeBob and Patrick talk on the phone in one scene students aren't allowed to have phone conversations during school hours.
