"Sanitation Insanity" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season 11. In this episode, when Mr. Krabs gets in trouble for littering, he makes SpongeBob and Squidward clean up Bikini Bottom.

Characters[]

Synopsis[]

The episode begins with Mr. Krabs' trash bag exploding with all the trash going all over town due to him not buying more than one bag. This causes the trash inspectors to come and task Mr. Krabs with cleaning the entirety of Bikini Bottom. However, Mr. Krabs doesn't want to do this, so he makes SpongeBob and Squidward do it instead.

The 'creepy doll'.

The two use a garbage truck to collect trash, with Squidward driving and SpongeBob picking up the trash. After a while, Squidward makes SpongeBob drive, but because he doesn't have a license, he lets the truck drive on its own. This causes havoc in Bikini Bottom and Squidward to have a rough time.

Eventually, they stop the truck and pick up large heaps of trash and put them into the truck. While cleaning up trash, the two find a creepy doll. When Squidward tells the doll to start doing than wanting, the doll says it wants to destroy him, scaring him and throw the doll out. Eventually they clean all of Bikini Bottom, and just need Patrick's trash. However, Patrick won't give it up, forcing Squidward and SpongeBob (who activate the truck's battle mode, transforming it into a combat robot) to battle Patrick (who is using trash as a battle armor) for the trash. The battle causes so much mess Bikini Bottom becomes filthy again.

SpongeBob, Squidward and Mr. Krabs cleaning up trash.

Mr. Krabs then gets mad at them for doing this and claims they were ruining his hard work, but Squidward complains that Mr. Krabs didn't do anything and dumps trash on him. The trash fight continues until the trash inspectors come again and make the Krusty Krew pick up trash manually along a road. As the group cleans up trash, the creepy doll appears in a boat and throws a drink at Squidward before driving away. Squidward then complains that he hates the doll as the episode ends.
