Synopsis

The episode begins with Patrick freaking out over a sea spider, he is seen trying to climb a chandelier but it crumbles because of the sand, he is then wrapped into a web then flung. He crashes into a chair and finds a coupon for free ice cream under it. He leaves his rock and finds SpongeBob. Patrick tells him that he will buy SpongeBob an ice cream using his coupon. When he finds out that SpongeBob already has an ice cream, he quickly throws it on the ground and tells him that he would buy a new one since he is a nice guy.

Patrick goes out to get the ice cream but is caught by Mr. Krabs' crane and Mr. Krabs says he felt the presence of something free. Mr. Krabs tries to con Patrick out of the coupon and nearly succeeds in obtaining it from the gullible sea star in exchange for a handshake but Squidward appears and intervenes by admonishing his boss for taking advantage of Patrick's naïve nature. A defeated Mr. Krabs walks off, as Patrick is angry at Squidward for stopping his deal but Squidward releases Patrick from the crane and leaves while telling Patrick that Mr. Krabs was really trying to steal his coupon.

Hearing this, Patrick becomes paranoid and believes that everyone is after his coupon causing him to run around the town getting caught in various situations like being stomped on and being attacked by toddlers until he falls off a cliff ending up in ice cream land.

At the park, Patrick orders a large amazing ice cream sundae and tries to sample it before giving it to SpongeBob. However, the ice cream coupon is out of date causing Patrick to throw a tantrum resulting in him being kicked out by one of the staff employees.

Outside the park, the employee tells Patrick if he wants to redeem his coupon he would have to go to the Ice Cream King who lives at the top of the hill outside the park.

Patrick's Coupon 126

Patrick meets the Ice Cream King

Patrick goes to see the King who is revealed to be a starfish as clueless as him (so much that all the coupons are expired as he doesn't know the year). The Ice Cream King makes Patrick a deal, if he were to beat him in competition he would redeem the coupon and give Patrick the free ice cream. The two engage in series of meaningless contests, including hair growing and ice-cream cone boxing which ends with Patrick obtaining victory over the Ice Cream King who agrees to honor the coupon.

Patrick's Coupon 171

Patrick gets an armpit ice cream from the King

However, he gives Patrick a cone out of his armpit with the ice cream coming out hairy to Patrick's surprise and disgust.

Patrick returns to SpongeBob saying he wanted to give SpongeBob an ice cream but it melted so he got him a hearty-handshake (using Mr. Krabs' arm). However, SpongeBob lifts his dejected friend's spirits by showing he obtained a better looking Ice Cream (similar to the one Patrick tried to get earlier) and the two friends proceed to dine on the ice cream.

Production

The episode name was confirmed in a tweet by Vincent Waller on November 12, 2016.[1]

Release

Trivia

General

  • SpongeBob has very few lines in this episode, as little as eight, in fact, and only appears in two scenes: after Patrick comes out of his rock and in the final scene.
  • When Patrick tells Mr. Krabs that SpongeBob loves handshakes, this is a reference to "Valentine's Day."
  • This is the third time SpongeBob and Patrick indulge in massive quantities of ice cream, the first being The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and the second being "Atlantis SquarePantis."
  • Nancy Suzy Fish makes a reference to SpongeBob SquarePants being a cartoon and slightly breaks the fourth wall when she says "Looks like some sort of kids cartoon."
  • This episode is a rare time that Squidward unselfishly helps Patrick or SpongeBob, since he stops Mr. Krabs from tricking Patrick.
  • Patrick using cups as glasses to read the coupon is similar to him using cups as glasses in "Idiot Box."
  • Irony: Squidward chastises Mr. Krabs for taking advantage of how naive Patrick is when he himself has done so in the past.
  • This episode reunites Tom Kenny and Peter Browngardt, who are known working on the Cartoon Network series Uncle Grandpa.
  • Patrick's fear of spiders from "Home Sweet Pineapple," "The Pink Purloiner," and "Life Insurance" returns.
  • The is the first episode to have a "The End" screen since "Planet of the Jellyfish."
  • This episode premiered 12 years after The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie was released in Norway, three years after the premiere of "Skill Crane" and "Good Neighbors" in Poland, two years after SpongeBob Comics Annual Super-Giant Swimtacular No. 3 was released, and one year after the premiere of "Patrick! The Game" and "The Sewers of Bikini Bottom in Canada."
  • In the German dub, this episode is titled "Patricks Coupon," without the apostrophe. This makes the title card of the German dub almost identical to the original English dub.
  • In this episode, it confirms that Patrick still has Arachnophobia.
  • In the German dub, the Ice Cream King is voiced by Marco Kröger, the original German voice of Patrick. Kröger was fired in 2011 after a disagreement with Nickelodeon and was replaced by Fritz Rott.

Cultural references

  • The inside of the Ice Cream store in this episode is a reference to the film Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. The design is extremely similar, even having the chocolate "river" from the movie, as well as an eccentric owner.

Errors

  • Inside the Ice Cream store, there are some fish sitting on air.
