In season 3 of Spongebob, there is an episode called "The Bully", where Flats, a new student in Mrs. Puffs boating school, says that he is going to beat up Spongebob. I have an interesting theory about this episode.
Everyone knows how much Mrs. Puff dislikes Spongebob and sees him as annoying, much like others in Bikini Bottom. However, I find it odd and weird that everyone is aware of that Flats is a bully (considering the fact that he mentions that he literally likes to beat up people), while Mrs. Puff claps excitingly before giving him a seat next to Spongebob. She is completely oblivious to all the signs of Flats wanting to beat up Spongebob.
My theory is that Mrs. Puff actually put Flats in her class and told him about Spongebob, wanting him to get beaten up by Flats. Is it possible that Mrs. Puff was just acting when she said that she would make sure that Spongebob would be safe?
She only gets mad at the end of the episode where she believes that Spongebob had beaten up Flats, before exclaiming that she was gonna beat Spongebob up. Maybe since her plan failed, she decides to take matter into her own hands.
The only other person who is oblivious to Flats bullying is Patrick, but that's Patrick and he isn't the smartest person.
I thought about this years ago and it hasn't left my mind. What do you guys think?

Hello. I'm starting a new series today, which you can see in this posts title.
The whole point of this series is to get people talking on what they think on certain episodes without feeling shame.
This posts episode is:
So, what do y'all think about this episode?
For me, it's a B tier episode. I just rewatched this one before making this post, and I do love the comedy in this one. I love "I HAVE DIARRHEA" and "I'm going to kick your butt." The reason it's a B tier is the plot being overused in kid cartoons and how SB deserved better. The incidentals ganging up on that old man wasn't really that funny to me either.
But I also want to hear YOUR opinion. What do you think about this one?
When Mrs. Puff was explaining to SpongeBob on how Flats hometown has a different to butt kicking, her mouth doesn't move. My theory is that the particular scene was focusing on Flatts demonstrating butt kicking SpongeBob using sand made sculpture.
I hate Blackened Sponge and The Bully
I also find Good Neighbors decent
U know how special SpongeBob has no bones in this epsiode but other episodes he does and this made SpongeBob immune to flats punches but what if he just took his bones out to prepare for the pain and he took his bones out so he doesn’t get affected by the punches

When SpongeBob told the citizens of Bikini Bottom that guy is going to kick his butt, he actually meant Flats was, not the old man by the bus stop. Those citizens should be beating Flats up, not the old guy they accused over that. That's a scene that was a mess up. Like, seriously, they didn't realize that they were targeting the wrong guy. They should've targeted Flats, not that bus stop man they assaulted. What do you guys think of this scene? Because I know it was just a mess up.
