Synopsis

This episode begins with SpongeBob and Patrick singing at The Krusty Krab. Squidward becomes very annoyed, so he goes to tell them to stop. Just as he reaches the door, Squidward's face is hit by SpongeBob who accidentally slammed the door to his face. Squidward needs surgery after what SpongeBob did. After undergoing plastic surgery for two weeks, Squidward suddenly becomes handsome.

At first, everything was going fine, like getting comments from both females and males, signing autographs and getting a ride home in a limousine.

But all that changes when Squidward's fans go crazy and take his stuff and won't leave him alone. Everything is too much for Squidward so he goes to SpongeBob for help. Squidward wants to become his normal self, so he and SpongeBob race to the Krusty Krab with the crowd following them. Mr. Krabs becomes overjoyed to see everyone at the entrance, and begins to name all the prices. While he does that, Squidward tells SpongeBob to slam the door against his face in order to make him normal again. SpongeBob doesn't want to do it, but Squidward threatens to hurt SpongeBob if he doesn't hurt him. So he begins to slam the door against Squidward's face repeatedly, but it only makes Squidward even more handsome. Suddenly, the flying fish's other bowling shoe, falls out of the top, and SpongeBob, who was alarmed by it, pushes Squidward out of the way. SpongeBob's push sends Squidward flying dramatically and causes him to hit a pole, while the shoe just bounces off of SpongeBob's head. The blow from the pole causes Squidward's face to become normal again. The crowd, who is disappointed to see Squidward not handsome anymore, begins to walk away miserably, but Mr. Krabs, who is unhappy to see his beloved customers go away, tries to return Squidward's handsomeness by slamming the door repeatedly against his face.

Production

In this episode, SpongeBob says, "Handsome. But she spelled it wrong." after Squidward asks what Sadie had called him a moment before. This was an inside joke, where the word, "Handsome" was missing the "d" on the storyboards of that scene.

Originally, the thing that was going cause Squidward to get a broken face was a truck.

Reception

• This episode has been banned in some countries, because both of the new "handsome" Squidwards, especially the second "even more handsome" Squidward, really terrified younger viewers.
  • Another reason is because of the constant hitting Squidward in the face with the door, which a lot of places don't tolerate. 
• Ironically, the "even more handsome" Squidward has also become a popular Internet phenomenon.

Release

• This episode is available on the WhoBob WhatPants?, Season 5 Volume 2, The Complete Fifth Season, and First 100 Episodes DVDs.

• This is the first time Squidward is on a title card.
  • The second was in the later episode called "Oral Report."

  • It is returned to normal after being smashed with a wall.
• In the Emergency Hospital, when SpongeBob watches television, it shows Fred with a female fish.
• When SpongeBob is hitting Squidward repeatedly with the door, you hear some cracking noises.
  • This could mean he is breaking some bones or his face.
• Squidward's second "handsome face" became a famous meme and running gag on the internet, being especially used as Facebook profile picture or in other social sites and galleries.
  • It has also been used in the One Direction fandom, where a mathematical formula shows One Direction's Zayn Malik being added to Squidward's "even more handsome" stage, resulting in one of the guys from The Wanted.
