Characters

Synopsis

Patchy the Pirate is waiting on SpongeBob to show up at the TV Extravaganza, with no reply, he thinks back to all of the time SpongeBob gave him no reply, so he goes to find SpongeBob, and ride his boat to Bikini Atoll. SpongeBob wakes up in the morning, with the help of many alarm clocks lined up to the foghorn clock, only to blow out more clocks, this wakes SpongeBob up, he then reveals that it is the eleventy-seven year anniversary since Mr. Krabs opened the Krusty Krab, he then rushes the way of the restaurant when, he bumps into other fish in line to get to the restaurant, and he knows that he cannot be late for this, so he jumps over the crowd's heads.

SpongeBob arrives at the Krusty Krab and Mr. Krabs reminds them to keep a close eye on all of the doors, and entrances, that includes the air vents, to make sure that Plankton does not sneak in. Meanwhile Plankton was talking to his computer wife about how he was a failure for 50 years of business, so he decided that he would sneak in while the Employees and Krabs were distracted by the festivities. After Patchy ran off, P!nk and the other celebrities were waiting for their turn in the extravaganza, so they sang a song titled, We've Got Scurvy.

He then gives SpongeBob the ability to decorate. Squidward reminds Krabs what had happened the other time SpongeBob got to decorate, but this time he was going to use the resources that he already had in the restaurant, and made it look great, they then went to see the ice sculpture that he had made for the Krabby Patty, but the door locks them in the freezer, so they hire Patrick Star, who had been hired for Security, were locked in the freezer, so they climbed into the duct system to escape, and make their way through a giant maze of air ducts. SpongeBob then remembered the first time he ate a Krabby Patty, and he apparently loved it, even though when he had it he wasn't born yet.

Mr. Krabs found a wrapper, from an older Patty, Krabs then had a flashback from the old Krusty Krab commercial. SpongeBob and the gang then go into another room, and it has many cameras, and they saw that SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward's houses were on camera, Krabs doesn't know what to say, but there is also two men recording them at that very minute, Meanwhile Plankton was having trouble trying to find the Krabby Patty Formula, and eventually he fell right to the duct the gang was in, while Krabs had split up to find another way. Patchy is almost to Bikini Bottom when he is eaten by a whale. He then remembers the time that Krabs told him the formula, and Plankton failed to find out what it is because the Krabs in the flashback threw Plankton down an air duct.

Then they eventually came to the point where SpongeBob was being remembered by Squidward, the times before he moved in and the day that it happened. Krab's wallet was going crazy about all of the loose change, so Krabs let it go to get some money, only to be picked up by an unsuspecting man. After they failed an attempt to call her on a radio transmitter to come and rescue them when Patrick destroys it and all of Bikini Bottom came to the play. SpongeBob then remembered a play where him and Sandy are married.

Now Patchy the Pirate was stuck in the belly of a whale, and he played the Scenes of SpongeBob before it aired (including the Squidward, Patrick & Mr. Krabs theme song), his camera goes haywire and the whale spits him out, right back into the studio, where he is knocked unconscious and he believed he was meeting SpongeBob, he then was knocked out again, and it was just a dream, the celebrities in the studio then told him he can see SpongeBob everywhere, and he is knocked unconscious again.

At this point SpongeBob used all of the gang as a battering ram, and got them out, only to discover that all of the customers were gone, and then SpongeBob sang the Krusty Krabs song "Oh, Krusty Krab", which brought all of the customers back and they started singing in a circle, and then the Krusty Krab was in business, and everyone was happy. Plankton, on the other hand, was discovered by Krabs and was blown into a balloon after he pleads with him to not launch him.

The episode ends with SpongeBob wishing the Restaurant a happy 'eleventy seventh' anniversary.

Reception

This episode is highly hated by fans due to all the celebrity cameos being deemed "pointless", having way too many Patchy segments and all the lies in the commercials like SpongeBob and Sandy get married and the revealing of the Krabby Patty Formula.

Release

Trivia

Template:Trivia

  • This episode celebrates the 10th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants, however, this episode aired on November 6, instead of May 1.
  • At the beginning, when Patchy arrives, a Dora the Explorer poster can be seen outside of Nickelodeon Studios. Also if you look closely, you can see a poster of Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
    Dora Can Be Seen!
  • This is the first episode with the new Nickelodeon change-orange lowercase letters that spell "NICK."
    • The new logo was adopted in 2009.
  • Running Gag: Characters Favorite number is 21.
  • Patchy is told that Tom Kenny plays SpongeBob, which is ironic because Patchy is played by Tom Kenny as well.
  • When Patchy asks where Spongebob is, one of the things he says is "getting his boat waxed". This isn't possible because Spongebob doesn't even have a license and therefore wouldn't own a boat. It's odd Patchy asked that since he's been the president of the Spongebob fan club for a decade at the time and would know better. However, he could've been just using that as an excuse.
  • In Latin America and Spain, the title was called "Stuck in the Freezer."
  • This is the third episode to have an alternate theme song: The first is "Christmas Who?" and the second was "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?". It will happen for the fourth time in "It's a SpongeBob Christmas".
  • It is revealed that Tina Fey is also a fan of SpongeBob when she said, "I'm not much of a singer, but I love SpongeBob."
  • This is the first time in the series that stop motion was used: The second time was "Frozen Face-Off" (Creature) and the third time was in "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" (Throughout except the intro.)
  • This is the very first special to be broadcasted in widescreen (16:9 or 1:78:1) format to fit a HDTV.
  • The original title of this movie was The Great Escape!. The book still labels this title.
  • This continues the theme of every SpongeBob movie premiering in November (Atlantis SquarePantis and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie also premiered in November, with the exceptation of The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water which comes in Febuary 2015.)
  • Apparently, Mrs. Puff is good at playing the "Wedding March" according to Spongebob's flashback.
  • This episode premiered on Friday, November 6, 2009, to an audience of 7.7 million viewers, making it the third highest viewed Nick premiere of 2009, behind iFight Shelby Marx and iQuit iCarly.
  • This episode preceded the series premiere of the Nickelodeon animated show, Fanboy and Chum Chum.
  • In the German version it aired on the 7th of November, a day after it airs in the USA on the 6th.
  • This is the second TV movie of the series. The first was "Atlantis SquarePantis."
  • It is revealed that SpongeBob did not grow up in Bikini Bottom, and Squidward dislikes him so much because his house landed on his garden (which wasn't even SpongeBob's fault). Although, some episodes state that he and his friends did grow up together.
  • Besides the clips showing Squidward sleeping on duty where it proves Squidward lied he never sleeps on duty, he was sleeping on duty in "Wigstruck," "Gullible Pants," "Krusty Krab Training Video," and the PC-Random video game Operation Krabby Patty, also in To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants.
  • The old SpongeBob cartoon is similar to the old Disney and Fleischer cartoons (e.g., Mickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie).
  • At the very beginning of the episode instead of playing his nose as a flute, SpongeBob plays it as a trombone.
  • The Nick Mag with the SpongeBash party on it has the lyrics for the other characters' theme songs inside.
  • In the U.S., this episode was originally going to air on November 9 but later it was moved to November 6.
  • Even though SpongeBob and Sandy's wedding was a play, SpongeBob calls it "...the time me and Sandy got married."
  • When Sandy was in her wedding dress, the patch of tan fur on her torso didn't extend to above her breasts, as it normally does.
  • During the credits for this episode, instead of the usual theme music, Squidward sings the song "Beautiful Dreamer", with some lyrics changed.
  • For some reason Truth or Square (episode) and Truth or Square (video game) have different stories. In the episode, SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward and Mr. Krabs get locked in the freezer and get lost in the vents. But in the video game, SpongeBob keeps the Krabby Patty formula somewhere safe but forgets where he kept it.
  • It is revealed that SpongeBob has 3 moles and a birthmark on his back.
  • In the beginning, when SpongeBob leaves his house after singing he bumps into Harold, who is in a line going all the way to the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob declares he cannot be late and jumps on the fish heads. If you listen and watch closely you can hear that the men fish have women voices and the women fish have men's voices.
  • Patchy doesn't have a peg leg here, he actually has two legs. Despite the earlier appearances of Patchy using a peg leg. It's possible that the cast realized how hard using the peg-leg was for Tom Kenny (Voice actor for SpongeBob and actor for Patchy) was and just let him walk on two legs.
  • The theme song is sung by Cee-Lo Green.
  • Even though it was just a dream, this is the second time Patchy the Pirate meets the real SpongeBob. The first was "Atlantis SquarePantis." (which as also a dream in that episode)
  • A deleted line in the marriage scene after the priest says he didn't know the wedding was play, SpongeBob says, "It doesn't have to be", which causes Sandy to slap him.
  • On August 18, 2012, a version of this episode premiered in which the episode was ended after the marriage scene, cutting out the final part of the special. It was just to show off more things in the commercials (such as the complete Big Time Rush music video).
  • If he said that, this could revealed that SpongeBob has a crush on Sandy.
  • Krabs breaks the fourth wall twice by mentioning flashbacks.
  • A Dunces and Dragons poster can be seen in the room Patchy was in.
  • This special has three opening parodies, with Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward replacing SpongeBob. Also, there was different mouths that Painty had (there wasn't Steven's mouth because they were the voice actors of the three characters).
  • Oh-Krusty Krab was a parody of the song "Oh Christmas Tree."
  • The 117th anniversary was based on Lord of the Rings where Bilbo says it is his 111st birthday.
  • There are 4 versions of this episode:
    • Version 1: The original version of the episode, that aired on Nick the day it premiered and on Netflix.
    • Version 2: An alternate version of the episode, that is used in reruns. This version removes the Patchy scenes at the beginning, as well as celebrity cameos by Rosario Dawson, Lebron James, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Craig Ferguson, and Robin Williams. This version starts with the extravaganza portion, and there are various lines that version 1 doesn't have. In recent runs, the credits were shown at the ending, along with the normal logo combo at the bottom-right corner.
    • Version 3: The extended version of the episode, that was only released on DVD. It is a combination of versions 1 & 2, and it also contains extended material that are not found in either versions. The extended version includes a cameo by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, a scene with Robin Williams in the bathroom, and an extended epilogue, where the narrator compares Patchy to Blackbeard the Pirate. In that version, the Nickelodeon lightbulb logo was used after the United Plankton Pictures, Inc. logo.
  • When SpongeBob is talking about when he first moved in, you can also see a part where he says, "Hey Patrick! Guess who just moved in next door!". This is weird because SpongeBob actually knew Patrick's name even though he just moved in. However, according to "The Secret Box," he has been Patrick’s best friend since they met in the hospital they were born in.
  • If a baby was able to pull out its umbilical cord in real-life, it will die because the cord is acting like an oxygen tube.
  • When SpongeBob laughs after saying "Yee-haw!" in a flashback, his laugh sounds gargled but on the next scene, his laugh is normal.
  • When they flashback to every time SpongeBob decorated, the two fish at the Krusty Krab are the same.
  • When Patchy was driving the boat past the studio, you can see a drawing of Squidward on the wall of the studio.
  • In the flashback of the time SpongeBob first visited the Krusty Krab SpongeBob's mother is pregnant with SpongeBob, but in "Your Shoe's Untied," SpongeBob is shown to have been in an egg before he was born.
  • If this episode ever has a sequel, the year would be 2019.
  • This episode would be only 22 minutes long without the Patchy segments.
  • When Patchy yells "What?! What do you mean he is not coming!" his hook is on his left hand but when he leaves the studio, the hook is on his right hand
  • This is one of the few episode's Patrick's fighting ability is shown.
  • This is the longest episode of the series, lasting 51 minutes.
  • In the Brazilian version, this episode is called "Bob Esponja entrando numa fria"(SpongeBob entering a cold).The explanation for this is that "Fria"(Cold) is a Brazilian slang that means "go wrong".
  • The flashbacks have some similarities to the cutaways shown in other television shows.
  • The Krusty Krab was founded in 1892, because 117 years before 2009 was that year.

Cultural References

  • The title is a spoof to the game and movie "Truth or Dare".
  • The old Krabby Patty jingle and commercial was a reference to the doctor cigarettes scam, where the commercial said that nine out of ten doctors recommend smoking doctor cigarettes for your health.
  • This episode is similar to the Family Guy episode "Griffin Family History", as both episodes feature the main characters getting stuck somewhere, and both feature a security monitoring computer, with cameras placed at some areas of the Griffin house/houses in Bikini Bottom.

Errors

  • Towards the beginning of the episode, Patchy is dropped off by his mom and his boat-car is not there. But later in the episode he drives away in his boat-car.
  • When Plankton falls down an air duct and lands in the one that SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward are in in their last scene in the duct system, that duct is underground, but later in the episode, when Mr. Krabs throws his wallet out through the peephole, and when they escape, the duct is above the ground.
  • When Krabs writes a "0" on $3.99, he says "$39", instead of "$39.90"
  • SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward follow the underground map of the Krusty Krab. However, they appear to over ground the whole time, as they traveled through the air duct in the ceiling. They also appear to be over ground when Mr. Krabs looks out a hole in the roof to see the customers. It is possible they went underground when they fell through one of the air ducts and then traveled back up to the roof off-screen.
  • When SpongeBob's pineapple comes to life in the 30's-style segment, the pipe disappears.
  • Plankton said that he had been launched every time that he failed (excluding his failure in the end of this episode). However in "Plankton's Army" it was shown that he was flushed down the toilet instead of being launched.
  • When Squidward points out that Patrick left his TV on, Patrick's mouth is red for a couple seconds. When he replies to Squidward with "Well, duh! I don't wanna miss my shows!", his mouth is black again.
  • During the wedding play when Sandy walked by an anchovy, his eyes are gone.
  • When SpongeBob got to lead Patrick and Squidward down the air vent, in the zoom-in he wore sock guarders. When it pops out of the zoom, they are gone.
  • In the room of cameras, some cameras would be highly visible to people,such as the camera in Sandy's bathroom.
  • The alarm clocks towards the beginning says 5 P.M..
  • At one point, Krabs and the rest split up, but after SpongeBob tells Plankton about the first time Krabs told him the Krabby Patty secret formula, Krabs appears out of nowhere.
  • In the surveillance room, what is on the TVs change from shot to shot.
    • The size of the TVs also change, as well as what tubes are connected to what TVs.
  • When SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs enter the surveillance room there is a chair but when they look at the TV with them on it and also when they look at the camera men the chair is gone.
  • in some airings, "P!nk" is spelled as "Pink."
