“crustaceous cheapskate” but i gave it a better ending

this thing got so big it's in my recommended now

[doobiousyt]

The fact that Spongebob can strangle Mr. Krabs through his shell really shows that he has had it

[MatthewCampbell]

Come to think of it, this episode is kind of like a weird mirror of Spongebob's normal status quo:
-Mr. Krabs is acting on principle even against his financial gain.
-Squidward is driving Spongebob crazy.
-Spongebob gets angry.

Y'know, this was one of the few episodes where Spongebob's amiable and overall helpful nature was really tested. Even at similar points where Spongebob got really pushed, like when Sandy put him through a virtual gauntlet of extreme sports before she was forced to hibernate, Spongebob never really exploded like he did here.

I like how SpongeBob took all the power he could to shake his boss until he dropped his damn inventory

Spongebob flipping out fits so much better in the episode than how it actually plays out. He literally chokes his boss and then finds out Mr. Krabs had the missing dime all along. How did he not explode even further?

Hearing this without being set to death by glamor isn’t the same anymore

[dannybrezelhorner]

It's so weird to see spongebob angry.

[brycewoodford]

So we gonna ignore Mr. Krabs pointlessly zooming in on the dime Spongebob gave him while knowing that his original dime was several times bigger?...aight, just making sho

Ah, a far better time for Spongebob
Where he was still naive and chipper, but had limits to how much of one thing he could handle. He could cry, he could get angry, he could scream.
Nowadays, he's nothing more than a bottomless cup. He can take anything and everything, and still be as chipper as the day he was born.

spongebob getting pissed off was the best thing about the earlier episodes

[dylanzlol]

Spongebob be like: "Seriously? you had it all the time and you made me suffer for nothing!?"

[shipgirllover]

Ngl, I was expecting to hear a bunch of punching noises and Mr. Krabs screaming at the end.

back when spongebob was allowed to be a character and have other emotions besides obnoxiously happy

[JackofNoTrades]

I just realised this episode is basically the roles of the relationship betwern spongebob and squidward but in reverse

[kyleschwartz]

This is one of the few times spongebob was legitimately pissed off.

[superdimentiobrolyX]

Its funny how in some epis9des spongebob seems like the dumbest guy in bikini bottom, and in others he seems like the only sane person

[Noratcat]

I miss this version of Spongebob. He was friendly and childish, but he had breaking points, and could get angry. The Spongebob today is just perpetually happy.

[eriksimmons]

The pure rage in Spongebob’s voice after he picks Mr. Krabs up honestly shocked me as much as a kid as it does now just compared to how happy-go-lucky Spongebob normally is no matter what. Squidward must’ve REALLY dug in deep.
