The Dying for Pie Theory! - SpongeBob Conspiracy

The Dying for Pie Theory! - SpongeBob Conspiracy

In theory I talk about the mixed feelings that Squidward has for Spongebob, the episode dying for pie is ranked one of the saddest Spongebob episodes and I can see why. The main character was about to get killed by his best friend. The pirates in the episode are using a special technique to slowly conquer Mr Krabs by selling pies to Squidward

All clips used fall under fair use.

Fun fact: disguising weapons as food or children's toys is a war crime

[connorbeith]

If Squidward was able to survive a pie bomb to the face, who's to say SpongeBob wouldn't have been able to survive if he had eaten one?

[thetheorizermoore]

It means that deep down squidward sees spongebob as a good freind

[darkhunter]

That theory about Mr. Krabs Hiring those Pirates to Teach Squidward a lesson actually makes a lot of sense.

[BoredBingewatcher]

There was no guarantee that the pie would end up at SpongeBob’s tho, and Jim also survived being chef. I’m pretty sure the ‘11 times’ refers to events Krabs witnessed in his pirate career and the explosive pies are a common thing in the pirate sector to kill an unsuspecting enemy from the inside out. They were loading at the Krusty Krab because either they had paid a visit to Krabs as old acquaintances and dropped the pies or they actually use his ingredients to make the pies, hence Krabs is so knowledgeable about it despite the pies being silent killers

[ryanjanson]

Mr Krabs spending money to teach someone a lesson? No, that's not realistic. As long as his workers are making him a profit, he's good.

[allisoncurtis]

The thing that strikes me as a clue is that they are LOADING the pies INTO the ship at the Krusty Krab. Personally I find it plausible that Me. Crab MADE and SOLD the pies to the pirates who could be contacts from when he was himself a pirate.
When he was in the navy as a cook he could of developed the bomb pies for war use.

Favorite moment of Squidward caring for spongebob, when a customer yelled at spongebob for forgetting his Drink in pizza delivery.

I once had a co-worker that annoyed the piss out of me.

I still didn't want her to die.

[itsMakkura]

Mr Krabs was in the Navy, so it makes sense he would have a grudge against pirates.

[Yoshikarter]

In hindsight, this episode doesn't make sense because of two specific scenes.

SpongeBob: "(smacks lips) Mmm, mmm, mwah. (rubs stomach) Thanks for the pie, Squidward!"

Also SpongeBob: "jk, I never ate any of it, I was saving it to share with you."

[tnips]

Never thought I’d hear the sentence, “The shape of the pies would fail aerodynamically”.

[reymorr]

Mr Krabs seeing 11 different times where a pie was used as a bomb Doesn't really mean that he was the caused of it, Correlation doesn't mean causation. And if Mr Krabs was the one who hired the pirates to give the pie to SpongeBob, then why didn't they sell the pie earlier rather than them not even caring about Squidward until he mentioned the 25$? The pirate captain was clearly just trying to earn a quick buck based on the way he spoke to Squidward in the episode

[MegaGABSAM]

i believe the explosive pies were actually meant to be used in a battle. as poorly aerodynamic they are, they're very explosive. accuracy wouldn't matter, just getting them away from you. I appreciate all theories tho, since there's no hard evidence for any final answer

[rebajoe]

Spongebob has the memory of a goldfish, i hope it all really was a set up cos for some reason he still wanted to share/eat the pie despite being told it was a bomb. Also apparently he ate a different pie that we didn't know about. *shrug* oh well.

[matti.]

I can see Mr. Krabs finding out about the pie early and telling Spongebob not to eat it (without explaining why), then playing along so he can force Squidward to bond with his coworker and appreciate him more.

Straight up hiring the pirates feels a tad excessive. Specially since they are canonically his enemies (given their second appearance in the show)

[SuperHorsey]

After watching dying for pie, I use the plot of the episode to describe if I really hate someone. For example, if I really hate my siblings, would I try to make their final hours good before they die? If it’s a yes, that means I secretly care about them

[middleman]

The way Squidward says “Two” just hits me every time, the voice actor puts in such emotion into it, I can feel his guilt, sorrow, and regret all in one word.

[raahipatel]

This the theory is so plausible. Well done. Keep up the good work

[arieltales]

I've always thought Mr. Krabs used these pies to m*rder enemies in the war. He was a cooker when he was young at the SS. Diarrhea, so he basically used to cook food to cause illnesses and even d3ath.

Personally, I have never seen the "brother" relationship between SpongeBob and Squidward. K1lling is a terrible act that leaves a great scar in your soul to most people even though it was accidental. Squidward would have been very sad and regretful if he hadn't met the person who ate the cake.
