Synopsis

Mr. Krabs makes some new rules and goes to his office while Squidward imitates him behind his back but Mr. Krabs hears him and confronts him on this. However, Squidward lies that he was imitating him out of flattery and he is let off the hook.

Eat your patties.

SpongeBob believes this lie and decides to mimic/imitate people because he heard that "imitation plus flattery equals happy people." He first imitates a father yelling at his kids. The father and the kids become impressed with SpongeBob's mimicry. SpongeBob then imitates Squidward, who also likes his imitation. He then imitates Patrick, who thinks he's looking at his real self.

SpongeBob then imitates Sandy and Plankton, while they were playing a game of chess. Sandy admires the imitation, but Plankton says that "The voice is all wrong." He also imitates the French Narrator by saying "80,000 Impressions Later..." in his voice as the narrator complains about it.

SpongeBob's imitations go too far.

After a while, it starts to get annoying, as everyone tries to persuade him to stop, but he gets a thing called "mocking mimicry madness" and ends up forgetting who he truly is.

SpongeBob's friends, including Plankton, attempt to help, but they only make it worse, as SpongeBob happens to mimic all of them at once, much to their disgust and horror. Sandy tries to get SpongeBob to come back to his senses though his attempts cause him to have a breakdown of several imitations and he leaves town calling himself a freak.

SpongeBob goes to live in a cave in regrets of not remembering himself. His friends find him and end up mimicking him in order to bring back SpongeBob.

Everyone imitates SpongeBob

It ends up working, but the others get the mocking mimicry madness and end up acting like SpongeBob. At first, SpongeBob is shocked but gets around to it as they all laugh crazily like him.

Squidward begging to be released from his subconscious.

The episode ends with a focus of a laughing Squidward's eyes, as his distraught real self is demanding to be let out of his subconscious.

Production

The episode name was confirmed in a tweet by Vincent Waller on August 11, 2016.

Rough Board Mimic Madness

Rough version of the storyboard

Differences between the versions of the episode

Differences between the rough storyboard and the finished storyboard

1. In the opening shot in the finished storyboard:

• There is a foreground.
• The Krusty Krab, its sign, other buildings, road, kelp, and flower clouds look closer to the finished episode.
• The foreground replaces a circle in the area that is across the street from The Krusty Krab.
• The "Open" arrow sign, the flags and Krabby Patty sign on The Krusty Krab, boatmobiles, and some kelp and coral have been added.
• The position of the flower clouds have been moved, particularly, the one closest to the left of the screen.
• The bubble movement is shown.

2. In the rough storyboard, instead of going straight to Mr. Krabs talking to SpongeBob and Squidward, there is a scene where SpongeBob runs into The Krusty Krab. He then breathes heavily. He then happily walks towards the kitchen. He is then followed by Squidward, who is slouching and seems to dislike that he has to go back to work. It then shows Mr. Krabs talking to SpongeBob and Squidward, but it starts after the opening shot.

3. In the scene with Mr. Krabs talking to SpongeBob and Squidward:

• The angle of the first shot is slightly different.
• The characters are more complete looking in the finished storyboard.
• The pans in the kitchen appear in the finished storyboard.
• In the rough storyboard, Mr. Krabs is wearing the army hat on his head. In the finished storyboard, he is wearing it on his head.
• The top of the cash register appears in the finished storyboard.
• Squidward's hat is more slouched over in the rough storyboard than it is in the finished storyboard.
• There is a table in the rough storyboard that is not in the finished storyboard.
• In the rough storyboard, Mr. Krabs hits the stick in front of him and looks at SpongeBob and Squidward. In the finished storyboard, Mr. Krabs hits the stick next to him and looks in front of him.
• In the rough storyboard, when Mr. Krab walks back towards the right side of The Krusty Krab, he is holding the stick in his left hand. In the finished storyboard, he is holding it in his right hand.
• In the rough storyboard, when Mr. Krabs turns towards the left side of The Krusty Krab after going back towards the right side of the Krusty Krab, his "thumb" is in the wrong place. This is fixed in the finished storyboard.
• In the rough storyboard, when Mr. Krabs hits the stick on his hand, it is straight across. In the finished storyboard, it is at an angle, closer to ahead of him.
• When the shot is a close-up of Mr. Krabs, in the rough storyboard, he is holding the stick up next to him. In the finished storyboard, his arm is down, so the stick is not shown.

4. When SpongeBob has the "#1" claw on:

• The shot is closer to him in the rough storyboard than it is in the finished storyboard.
• The finished storyboard has SpongeBob doing a little dance before and after he rips his shirt off. The rough storyboard does not have this.

5. When Mr. Krabs takes off Squidward's mask:

9. When Mr. Krabs pops out of the cash register:

• The shot is different between the two versions.
• In the finished storyboard, money pops out of the register. In rough storyboard, it does not.

18.

He is also missing his freckles, which the final storyboard features.

19. Right after the super close-up of SpongeBob's face, he is leaning up against Squidward. In the final storyboard, he is smiling. In the rough storyboard, he is not.

• SpongeBob's hat pops off in the final storyboard. It does not do this in the rough storyboard.

22. When SpongeBob looks out the window Several fish walks by.

• In the rough storyboard, it is the first fish is a generic fish that resembles Nat Peterson. In the final storyboard, it is Sandals.
• In the rough storyboard, the second and third fish that walk by is a generic female fish that resembles Abigail Marge and a generic kid fish. In the final storyboard, they are Norma Rechid and Billy.

23. When SpongeBob is shown in the close up of him looking out of the window:

• At the end of the shot, in the rough storyboard, he looks to the upper left corner of the screen. In the final storyboard, he does not do this.

• When the soda is thrown, in the rough storyboard, only the soda itself appears being thrown. In the final storyboard, the soda with the cup and some idea appear being thrown.
• In the rough storyboard, it cuts to SpongeBob before the adult fish is shown smiling. In the final storyboard, the fish smiles and then it cuts to SpongeBob.

25. In the rough storyboard, SpongeBob's first morph is done differently than in the final storyboard. The end of the morph is also a lot shorter.

26. After SpongeBob morphs for the first time, he smiles. In the rough storyboard, his mouth is open. In the final storyboard, his teeth are shown.

27. In the final storyboard, when the kid fish laugh at SpongeBob, Harv is holding the soda. In the rough storyboard, Harv's counterpart is not holding the soda.

28. The close-up shot of Tom laughing is longer than the shot of his rough storyboard counterpart laughing.

29. When SpongeBob leaves the table of four, in the rough storyboard, SpongeBob's mouth is open. In the final storyboard, it is not.

30. After SpongeBob leaves, Tom's angrily telling the kids to eat appears to be more extreme than his rough storyboard counterpart.

31. Because there were only three patties delivered to the table, when the kids pick up the patties to eat them, in the rough storyboard, there are no patties left. In the final storyboard, there is one left as four were delivered.

32. When the line of customers is shown at the cash register:

• The shot is wider in the rough storyboard than in the final storyboard.
• In the rough storyboard, there are four generic fish. In the final storyboard, they are Charlie, Horace, Nancy, and Ivy.

33. In the rough storyboard, a female fish is having a hard time deciding what she wants on the menu. SpongeBob then mimics her. He turns back into his normal self. She laughs at this imitation. She then pinches his cheeks. It then cuts to Squidward telling SpongeBob to make the orders. In the final storyboard, this scene was cut.

34. When Squidward yells at SpongeBob to make the orders, in the final storyboard, Squidward is holding the side of the cashier boat. In the rough storyboard, he is not doing this.

35. When SpongeBob imitates Squidward:

• In the rough storyboard, SpongeBob looks more like a piece of toast. In the final storyboard, he looks more like Squidward.
• SpongeBob's imitation is shorter in the rough storyboard than it is in the final storyboard. He also doesn't look back at the crowd. This and the fact that in the rough storyboard, Squidward does not look pleased and there is no laughter like it is in the final storyboard, suggests that at that stage, he was just going to imitate Squidward, not make a joke.

36. In the opening shot of the kitchen, in the rough storyboard, the chopping station and the chimney are shown. In the final version, they are not there and the fryer is there.

37. When SpongeBob morphs into the human face/head, it is a different face in the rough storyboard than in the final storyboard. It is also just the face that morphs in the rough storyboard, instead of the full head like in the final storyboard.

38. In the rough storyboard, after the human face scene, Patrick is shown sleeping on his rock. It then zooms into him. It then shows him dreaming of a fence on a field. An ice cream cone with legs and arms jumps over the fence and out of the dream. It then leaps into his mouth. This repeats two more times. SpongeBob walks up to the rock. SpongeBob wakes Patrick up, which messes with the next ice cream cone's jump. It lands on Patrick's eyes. The dream cloud then disappears and Patrick falls down the side of his rock. SpongeBob then imitates Patrick. Patrick then thinks SpongeBob is himself. SpongeBob then reveals that he is SpongeBob, not Patrick. SpongeBob then starts laughing. Patrick joins him. Patrick still thinks SpongeBob is himself. In the final storyboard, the scene remains almost the same, except for the beginning and the setting of the scene. At the beginning of the scene, Patrick is digging through the Krusty Krab trash. He finds one patty and tosses it at the front window of The Krusty Krab. He then finds a soda cup and starts to eat it. SpongeBob then leaves The Krusty Krab as Patrick is looking the other way. He then imitates Patrick. SpongeBob tells Patrick that he is Patrick. Patrick looks up from the trash. The scene then proceeds as it does in the rough storyboard.

• In the rough storyboard, when Plankton is done moving the rook, there are two pawns behind him and a king near the rook. In the final storyboard, there is a pawn and a rook behind Plankton and a king and pawn near the rook that Plankton just moved.
• When the rook squishes Plankton, in the rough storyboard, Sandy peels it off of him. She also unsticks it in the final storyboard, but after Plankton lifts his arm.
• When Sandy tries to unstick the rook, Plankton is squashed and stretched differently between the two versions.
• When the close-up of Plankton is shown, in the rough storyboard, he has a face of fear. In the final storyboard, he has a face of defeat.

40. When SpongeBob morphs into Sandy, in the rough storyboard, he doesn't have the flower on the helmet. In the final storyboard, he does.

41. When Plankton tries to get up, in the rough storyboard, he is shown already up and then being pushed back by SpongeBob, who goes from the left of the screen. In the final storyboard, Plankton tries to get up and then is pushed by SpongeBob, who goes from the right of the screen.

47. After the time card, the rough storyboard cuts to the customer at The Krusty Krab. In the final storyboard, it cuts to the exterior of The Krusty Krab and then to the customer.

48. The scene with the customer after the time card looks almost completely different between the two versions. In the rough storyboard, the customer, who is just a generic fish, is seated near the window and is located on the left of the screen. In the final storyboard, the customer, who is Nathiel Waters, is seated near the restrooms and is located on the right of the screen.

49. Because of the last point, in the rough storyboard, SpongeBob moves from the right of the screen to the left. In the final storyboard, it is the opposite. Also, SpongeBob looks like the generic fish in the rough storyboard. In the final storyboard, he looks like Nathiel.

50. In the scene with the customer after the time card, in the rough storyboard, there is a part where the scene the shot zooms into the customer's face. In the final storyboard, this is cut.

51. When the customer/Nathiel throws the table, in the rough storyboard, he throws it to the right of the screen. In the final storyboard, he throws it to the left.

52. After the customer/Nathiel throws the table, in the rough storyboard, because the customer is faced towards the right of the screen, he turns around to leave. In the final storyboard, because Nathiel is already faced towards the left of the screen, he just runs that way.

53. When the customer/Nathiel leaves The Krusty Krab, in the rough storyboard, SpongeBob is already in the shot. In the final storyboard, he enters the shot after Nathiel leaves.

• SpongeBob's impression of Mr. Krabs lasts longer in the final storyboard than it does in the rough storyboard.
• In the rough storyboard, Mr. Krabs hides back into the register. In the final storyboard, he jumps out of the register and dives back into the register. This sends SpongeBob flying backward. Sandy then checks on him. SpongeBob then gets up.

• Because SpongeBob's version of the five guests sing with him in the rough storyboard, they have a determined look on their faces. In the final storyboard, because SpongeBob's version of the five guests don't sing with him in the final storyboard, they have a more saddened face.
• In the rough storyboard, he is not shown transforming into the fish's head, the face just appears. In the final storyboard, he is shown transforming. The same thing happens when SpongeBob transforms back into the five guests and when he transforms into Plankton.
• The two heads of the fish are different between the two versions of the storyboard.

117. When the scene is a close-up of Sandy after she tells the group that they all have to mimic SpongeBob, the movement is different between the two versions.

118. When SpongeBob's version of Mr. Krabs' head spits out SpongeBob's version of Squidward's head, in the rough storyboard, it is done to the front of SpongeBob. In the final storyboard, it is done upwards.

119. In the final storyboard, when SpongeBob gets his eyes back, in the close-up of SpongeBob's face, they have to come together. In the rough storyboard, they came together in the shot prior.

120. When SpongeBob gets his nose, in the final storyboard, his eyelashes come back shortly after. In the rough storyboard, SpongeBob's eyelids are half-closed, so they don't appear until he opens his eyes in the next shot.

124. After the group's heads transform into SpongeBob heads, in the rough storyboard, the scene shows a close-up of Squidward's head, where Squidward sheds a tear. It then cuts back to SpongeBob and group, where they start laughing together. It then cuts back to Squidward's head, where, inside Squidward's eyes, Squidwards appear, banging on the eye, like it is glass. In the final storyboard, these scenes are taken out is cut out. Instead, it is just one long shot of SpongeBob joining the group laughing.
