Binging with Babish: Bubble Bass' Order from Spongebob Squarepants

Bubble Bass is notorious in Bikini Bottom for three things: his hideous laugh, his pathological dishonesty, and his sophisticated palate for Krabby Patties. Follow along this week as we examine his soundboard of secret-menu jargon and take a crack at the almost-impossible-to-recreate patty melt - from the all-new BwB kitchen!

Thing is, I could totally believe that if Squidward actually understood that entire order, his response of "We serve food here sir" is pretty much appropriate, cause the end result of that order was less a burger and more a colossal towering monstrosity.

"light butter" good to see bubble bass is making healthier descisions

[WoobyMe]

Since no one else is saying it: I love how Babish deliberately forgot the pickles until the very end since it was the premise of the conflict of the episode

[firebeatle]

I like how babyish will commit to any fictional dish, no matter how outrageous

[j-cool-guy]

Bubble bass is like one of those boss customers you get in papa’s freezeria

[RoninCatholic]

He says "deluxe" (mayo, lettuce, and tomato) but doesn't say "everything" (mustard, ketchup, pickle, and onion). He does explicitly ask for mustard ("animal style") and for onion ("make it cry") but you know what he forgot?


_He never asked for pickles._

[Tayvin]

Wow. The fact that this was an actual order and not pure nonsense gives me more respect for the writers of classic SpongeBob, I didn't think that was possible.


Also, I now want a burger, thanks.

0:13 the most underrated part of that scene is that sponge Bob already made that sandwich directly after squidward told BB off

[coddycopeland]

I imagine Spongebob doing all this, I bet he had no problem.

[Fake-rtuk]

I love how he talks to us like we're gonna do this shit lmao

[ironbeagle]

I have had full length, intense arguments with my chef father over the best possible configuration for a burger. This came up after we noticed that some places were putting the tomatoes on the bottom of the burger, sogging out the bottom bun. All we can agree on is that tomato belongs on top and cheese should be underneath in order to insulate the bottom bun from moisture.

And Spongebob managed to condense his entire order in the form of a Krabby Patty that was only missing pickles. (That he technically didn't ask for. So it still had everything he wanted)

“We serve food here sir”-
Squidward tennis balls

[Nekotaku]

ok at this rate he HAS to do Big Smoke's order one day.

I like how when his words were translated, it did not mention the use of pickles. So it’s likely he wanted Spongebob to not put pickles in his burger so he can blame him easily.

For the assembly section of making the sandwich, I would personally recommend using several spits (the kind used for kebabs) to add some structual integrity to the sandwich. I would add about 4 for each section, as well as 4 between each section. Of course you would have to remove them as you eat, but you can work your way down from the top.

When squidward was a savage

"Lemme guess tiny, a small salad."

[Ruvikon]

"Not too much butter"

Right. Wouldn't wanna be *unhealthy* now would we?

[brianwalters]

I like the name of it. The Bubble Bass Burger. Very catchy and fun to say. I think that should be a real thing.

[weebandgaminginc.]

It’s amazing how this guy translates this bass’ order that sounds like an ancient Atlantic quadratic formula
