Synopsis[]
Sandy capturing the ice cream man.
During a baseball game, the Goofy Goober ice cream truck comes to camp. The ice cream man skillfully serves all the kids, but Patrick and SpongeBob hold the truck back, scaring the man. When Sandy returns from using the outhouse, she sees the ice cream man's peanut costume and is driven feral, having the instinctive urge to bury him. SpongeBob and Patrick run into the crazed Sandy and chase after her, as the ice cream man tries to get away. The campers are unable to stop Sandy and she gets a hold of him, stuffing him in her mouth before running away.
Sandy returns to normal with no memory of what she did, and Patrick explains what happened. SpongeBob rallies the campers to dig up the ice cream man so they can keep getting more ice cream. Stuck underground, the ice cream man uses his scoop to tunnel out. SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy dig hundreds of holes, but Sandy is unable to remember where she buried the man. SpongeBob tries to jog her memory by turning into a peanut himself, making Sandy feral again. She goes after Patrick when he makes a peanut shape with his hands. Seeing everyone as peanuts, Sandy captures the entire camp to bury them.
The ice cream man offers Sandy an ice cream sandwich.
When she has come to, Sandy finds nobody in camp. The ice cream man burrows out and offers Sandy some ice cream. She is now okay with him being he is not wearing his peanut costume anymore. They sit and eat their ice cream, when the campers suddenly burst out of the ground. SpongeBob and Patrick eat Sandy and the ice cream man's ice cream, and the man burrows away, frightened by seeing them again. Sandy is still distraught over what she has done, but SpongeBob eases her mind with a joke. They laugh, and it turns out Elwood is still buried underground.

Trivia[]
General[]
- This episode premiered as part of the 2025 event "Friday Night Hits."
- In Germany, this episode was originally going to premiere on January 30, 2024 at 5:00 PM. It was then updated with the following chronologically:
- It was replaced with a rerun of "Mutiny on the Krusty."[11]
- After that, it was pushed back to premiere on February 4, 2024 at 4:50 PM, but it was pulled again, being replaced by a rerun of "Eye of the Hotdog."[12][13]
- It was pushed back once again to premiere on February 14, 2024 at 4:50 PM, but it was pulled for a third time, being replaced by a rerun of "Plankton's Old Chum."[14][15]
- In the UK and Ireland, the scene where Kevin lassos Sandy is cut on Nickelodeon airings due to dangerous behavior.[16]
- While this episode ends with Elwood being buried and stating "This is fun!", its sister episode, "Mermaid Men and Barnacle Boys," features Elwood's comic book being destroyed, and his first line early in the episode is "This is not fun."
Episode references[]
- Sandy's feral form resembles her hibernation form from "Survival of the Idiots," however she appears muscular instead.
- Patrick once again acts rabid when he's in reach of Walter the Waiter's ice cream truck, like in the The Patrick Star Show episode "Enemies à la Mode," even being banned from the truck.
- Both episodes were written by Andrew Goodman.
Cultural references[]
- The way that Sandy transforms into a rampaging beast by getting angered by peanuts is a bit similar the way that Bruce Banner from The Incredible Hulk turns into the titular monster by getting angered.
- The scene where the fish campers run from a feral Sandy is a parody of slasher films.[1]
- April "Pinkie" Davis' thumbnail drawing of a fish that tripped over a branch and brings out his arm for help is a parody of the 1948 painting by Andrew Wyeth, Christiana's World.
Errors[]
- When the campers run across the baseball field, some pop into the scene.
- When Patrick says he ate the truck, one of the fish in the scene is orange. After the shot of the truck, the fish is pink.
