Characters[]

Synopsis[]

Patchy prologue[]

At his home in Encino, California, Patchy the Pirate tells the audience that they will be watching his favorite episode, "Shanghaied," but Potty shoots him out of a cannon.

"Shanghaied"[]

One morning, SpongeBob starts his morning off by opening a box of Kelpo for breakfast, featuring "one of eight essential prizes inside." He pours out the whole box and searches, but cannot find any prize. Suddenly, a giant anchor crashes into SpongeBob's house, which SpongeBob naïvely believes to be a "baby" that came from the sky. He then alerts Squidward, who explains that it is merely a giant anchor while Patrick comes up and has the same stupid conclusion of the anchor being a baby. Squidward ceases their idiotic talk and tells them to get lost on the anchor. Suddenly, the anchor shifts, crashing into Squidward's house as well. An annoyed Squidward begins climbing the anchor's rope to complain to the owner about dropping his anchor in the wrong place, with SpongeBob and Patrick following behind him.

Shanghaied 073

SpongeBob and his friends on board the Flying Dutchman's ship.

They find out that the anchor was dropped from the Flying Dutchman's ship. As the trio investigates the ship, the Flying Dutchman emerges from his cabin, terrifying Squidward. Unperturbed and oblivious, SpongeBob tells the Dutchman of Squidward's intentions to complain to him, earning Squidward a scorching. The Dutchman prepares to do the same to SpongeBob and Patrick, and they attempt to jump overboard but land back on the ship every time they try. The Dutchman explains to them that for setting foot on his ghost ship, they shall be forced to work as his ghostly crew for all eternity.

Shanghaied 123

Squidward in the fly of despair.

Squidward proceeds to complain about this, so the annoyed Dutchman tosses him into the Fly of Despair, a zipper-like portal leading to a chaotic dimension. Watching their screaming friend disappear in the unknown realm, SpongeBob and Patrick are frightened into submission, helping the Dutchman in his quest to terrorize the citizens of Bikini Bottom. However, the pair's idea of terror proves incompatible with the Dutchman's, so the ghost reveals that they won't be his crew. SpongeBob asks if they will be released, but the Dutchman states his true nature of informing them that they will be eaten as their reward. Locked in their room, SpongeBob and Patrick's only avenue of escape is the dreaded "perfume department." Surviving this ordeal, they manage to steal the Flying Dutchman's dining sock, which they overheard that he cannot eat without.

Shanghaied 207

SpongeBob and Patrick scared.

The Flying Dutchman catches the two as they try to escape. However, he is unable to hurt them without damaging his sock. Therefore, SpongeBob and the Dutchman begin fighting over the sock until the elastic threatens to give. The Flying Dutchman decides to grant them three wishes in exchange for the sock's safe return. Patrick wishes he knew about this earlier, thus setting the clock back one minute and using up the first wish. Although initially irritated, SpongeBob, in his excitement, wishes that Squidward was with them. Squidward, who managed to pass through the Fly of Despair and arrive safely home, is immediately transported back to the Dutchman's ship, in which the two see he is still alive, realizing that he escaped from the Fly of Despair. The trio begins arguing over who shall get the last wish until the Dutchman uses his method of choice, which he calls his "mystic other-worldly powers," to decide (which is actually the eeny-meenie-minie-mo method).

SpongeBob is chosen to receive the last wish, and so he defeats the Flying Dutchman by wishing that he turns into a vegetarian. Pronto, he does as punishment for his true colors and SpongeBob and the others are transported in front of a familiar-looking pineapple, but before they could celebrate the Flying Dutchman's defeat, they soon realize that they have been turned into fruit and are chased by the Flying Dutchman who is now a hippie around his ship that is now a hippie van with a sail while the episode finishes.

Patchy epilogue[]

Patchy returns to greet the audience. After a totally random outburst in which he tells the audience to walk the plank, he announces that they are going to read a fan letter. Unfortunately, Potty shows up, adorned with a burning fuse from an unplanned explosives stunt. Potty and Patchy are blown up and the latter decides to close the show.

Development / deleted scenes[]

The episode is nearly 16 minutes long, longer than an average length of an 11-minute episode but shorter than a 22-minute special. The episode was later featured on the Sea Stories VHS and DVD releases, after being shown on television. The Sea Stories DVD release featured all three endings (see below).

When this episode was first aired, segments with Patchy the Pirate were shown to announce a poll that was held that lets viewers decide between three possible endings to the episode, with a different character receiving the final wish in each end.

After the commercial break, Patchy introduced the two alternate endings that were shown before SpongeBob's ending.

Patrick: He wishes that he had gum that never lost its flavor, and thus, they are eaten by the Flying Dutchman, begging him to let them out.

Squidward: He wishes that he had never met SpongeBob and Patrick. They get eaten and are still introducing themselves in the Dutchman's belly.

Patchy then states that if the viewer watches the episode "Land Lubin' style" (as a rerun), Nickelodeon will only play the voted ending. He also calls the viewer an official big-time decision-maker and a video of monkeys playing instruments is shown. Patchy says not to let it go to the viewer's head and signs off.

Since then, the Patchy voting footage has never aired again. The Patchy segments without the voting mentions are called "Patchy's Pick" which was shown on the Sea Stories VHS and The Complete 2nd Season DVD, and the footage with the voting was shown on The First 100 Episodes DVD eight years later and on The Best 200 Episodes Ever DVD ten years later. The footage with the voting was once again shown on Paramount+, until it was replaced with the 15-minute version sometime after.

In all future airings of this episode, only the SpongeBob ending is shown. The episode is paired with "Gary Takes a Bath," which is shorter than a regular 11-minute episode.

Release[]

Trivia[]

Original Airing/The First 100 Episodes/The Best 200 Episodes Ever Releases[]

You Wish title
  • This episode has two titles: "You Wish" and "Shanghaied." The original Patchy segments were called "SpongeBob's You Wish Spectacular Special," with "You Wish" appearing within the beginning segment, and on the Season 2 DVD box set, the episode itself is listed as "You Wish/Shanghaied."
  • The original airing of this episode has a full length of nearly 23 minutes.
  • In the original airing, this episode stops at the point the Flying Dutchman is deciding who will get the last wish, and Patchy then tells viewers to call up and vote who the Dutchman would pick. The winner was SpongeBob.
  • This is the only episode with three endings. However, the alternate endings are only shown on the original American TV airing on March 9, 2001, TV airings in Latin America, the Sea Stories DVD, The First 100 Episodes DVD, the Nick.com website in 2011, The Best 200 Episodes Ever DVD, and both alternate endings have the Flying Dutchman eating SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward.
ShanghaiedOriginal

Original phone number in the original airing.

Yikes Matey

"Yikes Matey! Original 800 Number As Aired Has Been Retired to Davey Jones' Locker!"

  • On The First 100 Episodes and The Best 200 Episodes Ever DVD releases of this episode and Paramount+ (for a brief amount of time), the original title card bearing the phone number to call and vote now reads "Yikes matey! Original 800 number as aired has been retired to Davy Jones' locker!" The original phone number was 1-800-624-4094. Also, the title card font and color are completely different between the two versions.
  • The Patchy voting sequences are no longer played on the air. The commercial break warnings from the original airing were also removed, including on the VHS/DVD releases.

General[]

  • This is the second episode from the series to have two non-consecutive production codes following "Christmas Who?," with the You Wish segments of the episode having the production code of 999, and the SpongeBob segments having the production code of 5571-165.
    • This is also the first non-double length episode to have this occur.
  • This is the first episode for a few things:
  • On the Sea Stories DVD and on the March 10, 2001 airing, the Patchy segments are cut out.
  • After the March 10, 2001 airing, it did not air again on Nickelodeon until its sister episode premiered on Nickelodeon in 2003. Considering this version was delivered in May 2001, it is unknown why its airing was delayed for two years in the United States.
  • The format of a 15-minute episode being paired with a 7-minute short was brought back in season 10, and has been used once every season since, starting with "Feral Friends" and "Don't Wake Patrick."
  • The Flying Dutchman can apparently open inter-dimensional portals on his ship, such as the entrance into a human perfume department that SpongeBob and Patrick use to escape and the Fly of Despair that Squidward is thrown into.
  • Patchy's voting sequences of Squidward and Patrick winning were never released on TV in English, but both sequences were broadcast in Spanish on Mexican channel Canal 5.[4][5]
    • As a result, all endings have aired at least twice and are randomly chosen each time the episode airs in reruns on TV in Latin America.
    • The original English versions of the Squidward and Patrick winning segments were leaked on YouTube in 2023, though with varied video and sound quality.
SpongeBob_Ending_and_KCA_promo

SpongeBob Ending and KCA promo

The KCA ending on the March 11, 2017 airing.

  • On the March 11, 2017 airing, the same day as the 2017 Kids' Choice Awards, at the episode's ending John Cena punches the screen sending the pieces to fly down and one-piece transitions to the KCA crowd. If one were to listen closely, the episode ends as normal.
  • The Flying Dutchman states that who gets the last wish will be determined by his "mystic other-worldly powers." Since the outcome was determined by a vote in the real world, it is technically accurate that other-worldly powers were used.
  • The method of the Flying Dutchman choosing who gets the last wish gives Patrick the greatest chance of winning, as he receives one point of the finger for every other point SpongeBob and Squidward get.
  • The Flying Dutchman mentions his mother in this episode. However, his mom only makes one physical appearance in SpongeBob Comics No. 43 with the comic strip called Mommy Dearest.
  • Patchy mentions the episode title when he announces, "We're gonna see me favorite show, "Shanghaied"! Ta-da!"
  • The Flying Dutchman's ship is featured in the PC version of Lights, Camera, Pants! It even features the ice skates in SpongeBob and Patrick's bunk room from this episode.
  • The title refers to shanghaiing, the use of coercive techniques such as violence, threats, or kidnapping to force men into joining a ship's crew. In addition, the city of Shanghai, in China, was one of the destinations for shanghaied victims.
  • Squidward was in the Fly of Despair for about 7 minutes of the episode.
  • SpongeBob and Patrick's plan to flee the ship was flawed, due to it already being established that they would be unable to escape.
  • This is one of a few episodes with a graphically animated sequence.
  • Excluding the Patchy segments, this episode is 13 minutes long.
  • Spaghetti can be seen in the background during the second scene of Squidward in the "Fly of Despair."
  • The part where Patrick continuously yells "Leedle Leedle Leedle Lee" has become an internet phenomenon.
  • After SpongeBob is chosen to get the last wish, Squidward knows that they are about to be eaten, even though he wasn't present when SpongeBob and Patrick were informed.
    • The Flying Dutchman is feared by many sea creatures, so Squidward could've realistically guessed that he is about to eat them.
      • Also, before SpongeBob wishes for the Flying Dutchman to be a vegetarian, he is seen holding a fork and knife, which would likely prove to Squidward that he is going to eat them.
  • When SpongeBob and Patrick return to their cabin on the ship after their scaring spree, their ice skates, which they used during their final "scare," are hanging on the wall.
  • Because of alteration between the original airing and the reruns and The Complete 2nd Season release, the scenes in the latter versions are cut down and some are redubbed to act as simple introductions to the cartoon.
  • In the French dub, the episode is called "Le Hollandais Volant," which translates to "The Flying Dutchman." [citation needed]However, "Shanghaied" was also translated as "Shanghai Tada."[citation needed]
  • In the Croatian dub, the episode name is "Loši Mornari," which translates to "Bad Sailors."[citation needed]
    • Also, it is sometimes called "Jednooki Bira," which translates to "Patchy Chooses."[citation needed]
  • This is the only episode where "Horlepiep" plays, but neither Mrs. Puff nor her boating school appear.
  • The viewer-chosen ending with SpongeBob is the only ending that doesn't end with SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward getting eaten.
  • Squidward believes in ghosts here, but does not in "Ghost Host."
  • Several behind-the-scenes details are revealed by C.H. Greenblatt, Aaron Springer, and Frank Weiss in the audio commentary for this episode that is featured on the Complete 2nd Season DVD.
    • According to Frank Weiss on the audio commentary for this episode, the Flying Dutchman and his ship are animated using double exposure.
    • The long pan inside the Fly of Despair was done by Zeus Cervas.
    • The Flying Dutchman's line about "mold growing on the ceilings and bugs in the sink" was a direct reference to Paul Tibbitt. Paul would often have some of the crew over to hang out and play video games at his home after work, and according to one of the writers, his bathroom had literal mold on the ceiling and spiders in the sink.
    • SpongeBob's "magic trick" gag was written by Stephen Hillenburg. According to Carl, Nick Jennings did it once and Steve thought it was the "funniest thing in the entire world" so they "had to put it in the board." Carl and Aaron later joke that they were "happy to oblige."
    • It's revealed that movie passes and coffee mugs were actual gifts given to the writers by Nickelodeon. One writer jokes: "Instead of pay, here's a mug."
    • In the audio commentary for this episode, it is revealed that the perfume department was filmed at a Macy's. Macy's West is given a special thanks in the closing credits along with Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show.
    • Carl admits to walking through the perfume department being a longtime fear of his.
    • Aaron and Carl comment that they originally wanted for there to be reggae music playing in the final shot of the Flying Dutchman's van.
    • Patchy flying through the air was accomplished using a blue screen.
  • In the scene of Fly of Despair, the English dub is where Squidward still screams, but in Latin Spanish dub, the line has been added and it says, "¡¿Oigan, qué es esto?! ¿¡Acaso algún acto de magia!?", because the translation says: "Hey, what is this?! Some act of magic!?"[citation needed]
  • The "Leedle leedle leedle lee" quote from this episode was used in SpongeBob Simulator as a chat line.

Episode references[]

Cultural references[]

  • The scene where the Flying Dutchman's head turns 360 degrees around is a reference to the 1973 horror film The Exorcist.
  • The Fly of Despair is a parody of the Pit of Despair.
  • The Red Baron is a German fighter pilot of the German Air Force during World War I. He is known for being a flying ace, having 80 aerial victories.

Errors[]

Shanghaied 070

The doorbell is inverted and facing the wrong direction.

  • When Squidward first grabs the anchor's rope, it is much thicker than when the group actually begins climbing.
  • When Squidward is shown angrily ringing the Dutchman's doorbell, the bell appears to have been inverted horizontally, facing the wrong way on the wall.
Shanghied Bengali

Shaghied.

  • In the Bengali dub, the title card, "Shanghaied" is misspelled as "Shaghied."
  • As the Flying Dutchman picks the recipient of the last wish, his finger moves to SpongeBob before the final selection. However, in the viewer-chosen ending with SpongeBob, the Flying Dutchman then points to Squidward, skipping Patrick. In Squidward's ending, the finger points to SpongeBob twice before ending with Squidward. It leaves only Patrick's ending as matching the order of the previous scene, going from SpongeBob to Patrick to Squidward and ending on Patrick.
  • At the beginning of the episode, it is morning. However, when SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward get on the ship, it is the night, as it is for the rest of the episode.
  • When SpongeBob first finds someone to scare, the sound of rushed feet-pattering can be heard just before the Flying Dutchman comes into the shot; however, the Dutchman does not have feet.
  • When Patchy crashes into the house after being shot out of the cannon by Potty, a few bubbles appear when the house was going down to the ground despite the scene taking place on land.
  • When Patrick steers the Dutchman's ship "behind the rocks," obviously, he is behind the steering wheel. But when the ship comes out of the rocks all scratched up, Patrick is standing next to SpongeBob on the opposite side of the ship, and no one is shown at the wheel.
  • In the SpongeBob ending, when Squidward is pointing, his arm disappears for a few frames.
  • At one point while Squidward falls through the Fly of Despair, two of his four legs are missing.
Shanghaied 284

The cable is missing.

  • In the SpongeBob ending when the Flying Dutchman says, "Fruit prevents scurvy" there is the blender cable. In the next shot, the cable has disappeared.
  • Due to the current episode being an edit of the original special, the live-action scenes had to be redubbed by Tom Kenny and Stephen Hillenburg in order to remove any ties to the original special. This process resulted in the new lines not syncing up properly with the footage.
  • When the Flying Dutchman's ship heads to Bikini Bottom, the ship flickers one time, then continues to fly.
  • In the Italian dub, the time card "A Few Inches Later" is missing, and was replaced by Flying Dutchman's ship zooming in.
