Except DoodleBob turns out to be very violent and beats Squidward up on sight.
They draw SpongeBob and plan to use “DoodleBob” to prank Squidward. When they draw something with the pencil, it comes to life. I guess we’re just rolling with the assumption the in the SpongeBob universe, pencils that come from land are magic. The pencil is of course found byĪaaw, look how big the pencil is compared to them! They’re so tiny!!Īnyway, the pencil is apparently magical? I don’t know why, and the episode never explains it. The episode begins with a live action shot of an artist at sea who drops the one pencil he brought with him in the ocean. And he calls himself a genius, bless him. He knows from experience that it wouldn’t have worked and he tried it anyway. It’s still decent enough, it’s funny and cute and I do enjoy watching it.Ī funny thing that I think goes unnoticed a lot is how when Plankton brings up the robot chef when he’s alone with Karen, she says “You know that never works.” This implies that not only has Plankton taken people’s brains to put in robots before, it’s also never been successful. As far as Plankton episodes go, I don’t think Welcome to the Chum Bucket is anything great, but since this season doesn’t offer much Plankton anyway, I’ll take what I can get. Actually, there’s only this one and Imitation Krabs.
There’s really not that many Plankton episodes in season 2. Plankton decides that this whole bet was a bad idea and it wasn’t worth it, so he lets SpongeBob return to the Krusty Krab. So when he asks his new robot chef to make him a krabby patty, the robot chef replies that he doesn’t feel like. One would expect that if the robot has SpongeBob’s brain, it would also have SpongeBob’s personality, right? Plankton doesn’t anticipate that, I guess. Though either way it raises the question of why SpongeBob would act this way if he knew it meant having his brain taken out but let’s just disregard that.Īnyway, here’s the problem with the robot chef. I like to think it’s the latter, partially because that’s funnier to me and partially because I like to imagine that SpongeBob has at least some control over his situation. Something I like about this episode is that it never really makes it clear whether SpongeBob was legitimately being a brat or if he was on to Plankton’s scheme the entire time and was just playing him. Plankton gets angry, SpongeBob back sasses him hilariously, and Plankton decides his brain is going in the robot chef after all. I just think that’s a cool detail.Īfter an unspecified amount of time, during which SpongeBob’s demands have becoming increasingly more ridiculous, Plankton casually asks SpongeBob to make some krabby patties. I like how when Plankton reveals the new kitchen, the Krusty Krab theme plays but it has a slight echo effect. To start with, he turns the Chum Bucket kitchen into an exact replica of the Krusty Krab kitchen. Plankton does everything he can to make SpongeBob feel more comfortable. The computer screen in Plankton’s lab that won’t be given a name until season 3 suggests that Plankton win SpongeBob over by being nice to him, and that SpongeBob will give Plankton what he wants then. Plankton threatens to take SpongeBob’s brain and put it in a robot chef if SpongeBob doesn’t comply, but the threats don’t exactly help SpongeBob feel more relaxed. Of course Plankton just wants SpongeBob to make krabby patties for him, but SpongeBob is so terrified and Plankton’s kitchen is so strange and unfamiliar that he isn’t able to. So SpongeBob has to go and work for Plankton. Krabs bets SpongeBob’s contract to Plankton and loses it. But still, I like the idea that despite how much they deny it, Plankton and Krabs do still enjoy each other’s company on some level.
Krabs only playing because he knows Plankton is a terrible card player, and Plankton apparently throwing games on purpose to build Krabs’ confidence so he’ll eventually slip up. The episode makes their card games sound shady, what with Mr. Krabs and Plankton get together to play cards once a week? Because according to this episode, they do! That’s actually pretty cute.
