Being a [[Long Runner]], [[SpongeBob SquarePants (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]] is bound to have moments we can't forget, moments we can't remember, and [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs|moments we wish we'd forget]]. Guess which of the three we're listing here.
Keep in mind:
Line 89:
* [[Tropers/Kashima Kitty|Kashima Kitty]]: The episode "Yours, Mine and Mine" was the one that made this troper finally give up the series. Patrick can't afford a Krusty Krab meal, so Spongebob helps pay for it, the two agreeing to share. Naturally Patrick eats it all. When he complains that there's no toy, Mr. Krabs hastily puts one together out of a Patty and some straws, charging extra. Patrick's response? Much like the episode "Sing a Song of Patrick" he steals Spongebob's money to pay for it. When our young Sponge reminds his "best friend" that they agreed to share it, Patrick goes from being a colossal, selfish jerkass when it's his turn with the toy, to whiny and needy the few seconds Spongebob gets ahold of it. Finally Patrick ends up snatching it, and after a lengthy chase, [[If I Can't Have You|eating it.]] But what luck, Mr. Krabs made more! Patrick then steals more of Spongebob's money, and when called on it, ends the episode with this gem. "Have you learned nothing about sharing?" The title sends an obvious message but there was room for at least an Aesop or comeuppance.
* [[Tropers/Bbitt|Bbitt]]: The episode ''Kracked Krabs''. It has perhaps the Most Triumphant example of flanderization by having Mr.Krabs and Spongebob go to a competition in which a bunch of crabs see who can be the cheapest. What!? Oh, and it gets worse by having Mr.Krabs and Spongebob win by stealing an entire hotel room! Basically, they're teaching our kids to [[Unusual Euphemism|"Exaggerate"]] people's belongings into their suitcases, and get rewarded for it. If Mr. Krabs really wanted to be cheap, he should have stuffed his own room into his suitcase. He'd have a free room and he wouldn't be... you know, 'stealing'. When I saw the episode, I gave up on the show and now hope it gets axed.
* [[Tropers/This Is Madness 91|This Is Madness 91]]: The episode that did it for me was "The Play's the Thing". Squidward spends most of the episode [[Ted Baxter|indulging his already inflated ego]] in the form of a play at the Krusty Krab, forgetting that he is supposed to be taking the customers' orders at the same time. Eventually, the customers decide they've had enough of his arrogance and start throwing burnt Krabby Patties at him (they're burnt because Spongebob got carried away with the play, and Squidward served them anyway just to make himself feel big). Krabs sees this as a way to make money, so starts charging people for the patties. Spongebob urges them to stop, but [[With Friends Like These...|Patrick says he likes throwing things]], and soon everyone is pelting both Squidward and Spongebob, and are even paying Krabs to let them throw larger, harder objects like freaking anchors. Krabs [[Karma Houdini|makes a fortune]] and decides to make the play a regular thing, causing Squidward and Spongebob to go insane and laugh like lunatics.
** I've got to say, isn't this just like Culture Shock?
** Sounds like it, except this time, even poor Spongebob gets the short end of the stick. Mr. Krabs is [[Sarcasm Mode|such a great boss isn't he?]]
