Plot

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are holding up the line at the Krusty Krab, trying to decide what to order. Finally, Mermaid Man orders a Krabby Patty and a Pipsqueak Patty for Barnacle Boy. Barnacle Boy demands an adult-sized burger, claiming that since he is very old, he should no longer be treated as a child. When Mermaid Man, Squidward, and the Krusty Krab patrons begin to tease him, Barnacle Boy breaks his friendship with Mermaid Man and joins Man Ray and the Dirty Bubble to form a villainous group known as "E.V.I.L." (Every Villain Is Lemons), a group that does immature criminal acts.

IJLSA

The "International Justice League of Super Acquaintances"

Mermaid Man cannot defeat this new threat on his own, so he recruits SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and Squidward (who wasn't willing to join) to reform the "International Justice League of Super Acquaintances".

SpongeBob becomes the "Quickster", and is able to run at amazing speed. Squidward becomes "Captain Magma", and gains the power to produce fire and lava. Patrick becomes the "Elastic Waistband", and gains the power to stretch his body to incredible lengths. Sandy becomes "Miss Appear", and can become completely invisible.

The Chief {which his name is suppose to be John} (a live-action character who appears on a monitor) informs them that E.V.I.L. is at a teenage gathering spot called Makeout Reef, where they are harassing the teenagers by shining a flashlight on their parked cars while they are making out (including a boy who is kissing his own pillow). Mermaid Man and his team go to Makeout Reef and confront the villains, and, despite numerous advantages, the incompetent Super Acquaintances defeat themselves. Squidward accidentally shoots hot lava on SpongeBob's head, and the later starts running around in circles at super-speed as he burns in pain. Patrick tries to stop him from running, but he gets caught onto SpongeBob, and is launched into a rock. Mermaid Man tries to put out SpongeBob, but mistakes Squidward for SpongeBob and washes him up with a water ball, disintegrating him. Sandy disappears in order to catch E.V.I.L. by surprise, but is hit by a boat from behind and knocked off the cliff. By this time, SpongeBob has completely disintegrated, and all that is left of him are his shoes. Mermaid Man simply falls over backwards.

Having "defeated" the heroes, Barnacle Boy demands 3 things of Mermaid Man: that he be treated as a superhero, not a sidekick; that he be called "Barnacle Man"; and that he be allowed to eat an adult-sized Krabby Patty. He then immediately rejoins the side of good, though when the heroes return to the Krusty Krab, Barnacle Boy admits an adult-sized Krabby Patty actually is too big for him. Everyone begins laughing as the episode ends, including SpongeBob and his friends, who are severely injured and supported by medical equipment, Man-Ray and the Dirty Bubble, who are in prison, the man who was kissing his pillow, and the Chief.

Transcript

Trivia

  • This is the first and only episode Barnacle Boy ever becomes evil.
  • This "International Justice League of Super Acquaintances" is a parody of the Justice League, The Avengers, The Fantasic 4, The X-men, and the Super Friends.
  • This episode is featured on the Fear of a Krabby Patty and Pet or Pests DVDs.
  • Barnacle Boy wanted to be called "Barnacle Man" which resembles the name of the song "Particle Man" by they may be giants.
  • When Mr.Krabs is talking to Squidward and says "No world means no money", his right arm is gone.
  • This is the last episode to use the classic "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" styled title cards. For Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture, a new title card is used.
  • After Mermaid Man yells, "To Make-Out Reef", he falls over in his chair. In the next shot, when the Elastic Waistband says, "Does this mean we're not getting pizza?," his chair is upright again.
  • After the narrator introduces the International Justice League of Super Acquaintances, he quickly adds, "A subsidiary of Viacom". Viacom owns MTV Networks, which in turn owns Nickelodeon, which produces and airs SpongeBob. The narrator breaks the fourth wall saying "A subsidiary of Viacom". This is also the first time in SpongeBob history someone mentioned Viacom.
  • Man Ray is seen wearing the tickle belt as though it were part of his regular costume.
  • When Barnacle Boy claims he will turn to the dark side, this is a parody of Star Wars.
  • When Squidward is Captain Magma, his catchphrase is "Krakatoa!", which is a reference to an actual volcano called Krakatoa. Krakatoa is mountain in Indonesia.
  • This episode is mistakenly titled on many program guides and cable and satelite providers as "Superfriends".
  • On the Krusty Krab menu in this episode there is "Kelp Shake" on the menu. Yet in Best Frenemies, Mr. Krabs is against the selling of it.
  • In a deleted scene, a plane is shown exploding.
  • Strangly, The Ponderor from The Bad Guy Club for Villains is not in this episode, and in return, the Quickster is not in The Bad Guy Club for Villains.
  • In The Bad Guy Club for Villains The Super Acquaintances had different uniforms, and appearances then they did in this episode.
  • When Dirty Bubble and Man Ray's boat was driving out from the dark side, the license plate was yellow and had black writing. However, when it was shown up close, it was black and had red writing.
  • Captain Magma is a parody of the The Human torch and Firestorm.
  • Elastic Waistband is a parody of Mr. Fantastic, Plastic Man, and Elongated Man.
  • The Quickster is a parody of The Flash and Quicksilver, complete with the lightning bolt logo.
  • Miss Appear is a parody of Invisible Woman.
  • In the beginning, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy cause a long line at the Krusty Krab, but when Barnacle Boy claims that he is crossing over to the dark side, the long line is gone.
  • Mr. Krabs says "why should I waste money lighting the whole restaurant?" In the next scene, the dark is gone.
  • When Spongebob is introduced as portraying the Quickster, he has five fingers but he usually has four.
  • Old Man Jenkins sounds like Plankton when he yells at the villains.
  • When the "mobile" comes out of the Krusty Krab's dark side - it is shown with a yellow number plate which isn't even attached to the vehichle. In the next shot however, which is a detailed zoom-in on the number plate, it is black, and now looks as if it is attached to the vehicle.
  • This is the fourth and final time Mermaid man's belt is yellow.
  • In this episode, Barnacle Boy wants a Regular Krabby Patty but in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV, he wanted a Silly Meal.
  • Before Barnacle boy decided to come back to the good side he said he wants to be called "Barnacle Man" instead of "Barnacle Boy" but in the next episodes where the heroes showed up, it was fine for him to be called "Barnacle Boy"
  • The Krusty Krab is never half-dark except for in this episode.
  • This is the first time Sandy gets injured.
  • This is often considered the best of the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy episodes because of a twist in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's relationship, many good jokes like the fish making out with a pillow, and the superhero portrayals.
  • It's strange that Mermaid Man would treat Barnacle Boy like a baby, since they first met when Barnacle Boy was between his teens and young adulthood.
  • After Mermid Man and Barnicle Boy make up, Mermaid Man calls Barncle Boy "Kyle"
  • Mermaid Man also did what Plankton uses Karen's plan plagiaristically when Spongebob plans to join him with Patrick, Sandy and Squidward.
  • Patrick was just like Elastigirl from the Disney Pixar movie The Incredibles, who in turn has abilities based on Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four.
  • Sandy was just like Randall Boggs from the Disney Pixar movie Monsters Inc, and Violet Parr from The Incredibles, who in turn has abilities based on Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four.
  • SpongeBob was just like Dash Parr from the Disney Pixar movie The Incredibles, who in turn has abilities based on The Flash.
  • In The Bad Guy Club for Villains, one of the IJLSA is called Doctor Magma. Squidward's title is Captain Magma.
  • If you look closely, the background around the lunchbox shows the sky of Bikini Bottom. Even though its inside a Cave
