Characters[]

Synopsis[]

Goofy Scoopers 016

The Goofy Scoopers performing.

The episode starts at Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat with SpongeBob and Patrick yelling for a Triple Gooberberry Sunrise. The manager then gives them the ice cream, but then the show starts and SpongeBob spills it and then Patrick eats it off his head. An announcer introduces the Goofy Scoopers, and SpongeBob and Patrick cheer for their appearance. They play the Goober Rag, with all the kids falling asleep and plugging their ears. The manager then tells SpongeBob and Patrick to leave. They get kicked out and want to go backstage for an autograph, with Patrick showing off his autographs on the back of his head.

The next morning, the manager tells SpongeBob and Patrick that the Goofy Scoopers are over, and they are replaced by DJ 2 Sc00pz. The two protest as the kids dance with DJ 2 Sc00pz. As Patrick dances to the music, SpongeBob gets angry at him for giving in to the seductive "womp-womps" and "wub-wubs." They then cry due to the fact the Scoopers were tossed in the trash and the two are kicked out again. SpongeBob then tells Patrick his plan to get the Scoopers back together. They disguise themselves as garbage cans and hijack the garbageman's truck. They crash into the dump and look for clues. They are noticed by the owner who then tells them a robot was going to the circus. They leave, while the owner chases Filthy Muck, who is seen in the background.

At the circus, SpongeBob and Patrick find Clem Clam, and they plead for him to join them. He agrees, stating he is terrified of clowns. SpongeBob and Patrick then go to the massage place and find Bongos Bear, claiming they are husband and wife. Bongos gives them a massage, while they state afterwards that they are still looking for Rock T. Puss and Bongos tells them that he works on the bridge to Shell City. At the bridge, Rock T. Puss tells SpongeBob and Patrick that he is done with music, and the only applause he needs is the honking of the boats. He refuses and tells them to leave.

The reunion show.

At Goofy Goober's, the two tell the robots they will play with them instead of Rock T. Puss. They perform Brain Freeze, with the kids booing them afterwards. Rock T. Puss comes back, stating he loved to support that bridge, but he was actually built to play music. They start to perform, with the kids hating it even more. DJ 2 Sc00pz arrives, and they play the Goober Rag Remix, with everyone dancing along. An end card is seen on Patrick's head, as the episode fades to a full black background.

Production[]

On both December 13, 2020 and January 24, 2021, Dave Cunningham said in interviews with both the Encyclopedia SpongeBobia and The Art of SpongeBob Discord servers that Goofy Goober's and its owner would return in a new season 13 episode.[1][2] Both would appear in this segment. Cunningham also said that he and Sherm Cohen supervised a few episodes prior to moving on to an at-the-time unannounced spin-off (The Patrick Star Show).[3] This episode was one of them, as it was directed by him and was scripted and storyboarded prior to that series' announcement, which was in August 2020.

The episode was subsequently confirmed by Nickelodeon's schedule on July 1, 2021.[4]

Vincent Waller confirmed most of this episode's credits on July 14, 2021, excluding its animation director.[5]

This episode was added to the US Copyright Office on September 27, 2021.[6]

Cultural references[]

  • The Goofy Scoopers are based on the famous animatronic band The Rock-afire Explosion.
    • The Goofy Scoopers being retired is an inside-reference to how Chuck E. Cheese's is gradually retiring the animatronic Munch's Make Believe Band, as part of its 2.0 contemporary remodel and the fact the animatronics appeared unsettling to some of the visitors.
  • The first time he asks SpongeBob and Patrick to leave, the manager recites a lyric from the Semisonic song "Closing Time": "Closing time, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here."

Errors[]

  • SpongeBob's right eye is misplaced before he sees Patrick dancing to the new band.
  • When the Goofy Scoopers perform the Goober Rag, Patrick flings his pants at Rock T. Puss's head. The next time Patrick appears, he is wearing his pants again.
  • When the Goofy Manager tells SpongeBob and Patrick "Well, that's your problem, it's closing time," SpongeBob's eyeballs are light blue just like the Manager's skin for a frame.
  • During a crowd shot, Incidental 40's mouth is missing.
  • During a close-up of Clem Clam playing the trumpet, the stripes on his shirt switch colors at the end.
