Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter SpongeBob explains how great old people are, there's a live-action shot of an old guy in a captain's hat giving a thumbs-up. This is Don Newhouse, a parking lot security guard for Nickelodeon. He would later appear as a Nickelodeon security guard in the "Slime Day" segment of Slime Day/Boog Zapper (2012), and was the model for the "Old Kid" character in Invader ZIM (2001).
- GoofsWhen Spongebob and Patrick pull out donuts to "unite", Patrick is clearly seen to pickup a donut, leaving the chocolate one in the box. When they "unite" he is shown having a half eaten chocolate donut. The switch continues to repeats throughout the show.
- Quotes
Squidward: Let me guess, tiny. A small salad?
Bubblebass: I want a Triple Bossy Deluxe on a raft, four-by-four animal style; an extra side of shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze; light axle grease, make it cry, burn it and let it swim.
Squidward: We serve food here, sir.

Featured review
Above average entertainment
These two episodes are enjoyable but mostly unremarkable
Mermaidman and barnacleboy (7) This episode introduces two elderly superheroes. It's an interesting look at people past their prime and they're both enjoyable characters with fantastic voice acting. The jokes are quite hit and miss but the story hits most of the right beats and it never drags on for too long, throwing at least one good joke per scene.
Pickles (7) Pickles starts off poorly and ends brilliantly. The plot is a bit too unbelievable for someone like spongebob and the jokes miss quite frequently during the first half. When Mr Krabs enters, it shows that he can be a rather helpful person even when he's still a greedy jerk and the last two minutes are hilarious, topping off with one of the funniest jokes in the season. It's rough, but it nails the landing.
The episodes are more inconsistent than previous ones, though they're still of a high quality, even if far from the best the season has to offer.
