Synopsis[]

SpongeBob's Place 007

Customers enjoy their Krabby Patties made by SpongeBob.

The episode begins at the Krusty Krab, where the customers are all enjoying their Krabby Patties. One customer states he could die and go to heaven and kisses SpongeBob's feet, to SpongeBob's discomfort. Mr. Krabs tells Squidward that the customers love their Krabby Patties, to which Squidward tells him that some people are calling it the "SpongeBob Patty." Mr. Krabs calls that ridiculous, as it has always been the Krabby Patty, only for a customer to come up and order a "SpongeBob Patty." Squidward smugly tells Mr. Krabs that he should change the restaurant's name from the Krusty Krab to SpongeBob's Place.

One of the customers overhears him and states that it is a great idea. The other customers agree, and they start chanting "SpongeBob's Place!" A jealous Mr. Krabs tries to get them to chant "Krusty Krab" instead, but they ignore him. SpongeBob tries to give the chant some juice, but this only makes the customers resume the chant of "SpongeBob's Place!" Squidward tells Mr. Krabs that he would be nothing without SpongeBob. Mr. Krabs asserts Squidward that that is not true, as he is the one who created the Krabby Patty, only for the customers to carry SpongeBob by on a throne, singing "Let's all go to SpongeBob's Place." This makes Mr. Krabs jealous at SpongeBob's success.

Later, Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that the Krusty Krab is haunted and needs ghostbusting. SpongeBob agrees to stay away until the ghost busting is done. Squidward easily sees through Mr. Krabs' lie and quickly deduces the real reason for sending SpongeBob home, which Mr. Krabs confirms by announcing that he is going to be doing the cooking from now on.

Meanwhile, at SpongeBob's house, SpongeBob quickly gets bored and decides to make Krabby Patties at home. He sees nobody, so he puts them on the window. People smell the patties and, after eating them, insist that he make more.

Meanwhile, at the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs is having no such luck. The customers keep sending back their Krabby Patties. Squidward tells him that it is because they are not as good as they used to be, to which Mr. Krabs retorts that it is the same formula. One of the customers looks inside the kitchen and afterwards announces to the other customers that the problem is that SpongeBob is not in the kitchen. This announcement makes the other customers angry to the point where they decide to leave. To keep them from leaving, Mr. Krabs dresses up like SpongeBob and the customers actually fall for the paper-thin disguise.

Unfortunately, his food is still poorly made to the point where it tastes disgusting. However, the customers say they like it for "SpongeBob's" sake. Not realizing that they are not being sincere, Mr. Krabs reveals himself and states that it is his food that they are "enjoying." This angers the customers to the point where they drop the act and flat out tell him they find his food disgusting and once again try to leave. Mr. Krabs tries to stop them by making a moat and filling it with molten lava, stating that anyone trying to leave will have to go through him. The customers use him as a drawbridge and leave. Squidward follows suit, and Mr. Krabs gets burned by the lava.

When Squidward gets home, he finds a crowd eating Krabby Patties at SpongeBob's house, which has a sign that reads "SpongeBob's Place" on it. This angers Squidward, so he decides to call the health inspector. Meanwhile, in an ambulance, Mr. Krabs is having his burns tended to by paramedics. He gets out and looks around when he sees SpongeBob's home as the restaurant. This has made SpongeBob so rich he does not know what to do with all the money.

He gives Mr. Krabs a Krabby Patty and the taste makes Mr. Krabs realize why everyone prefers SpongeBob's Krabby Patties over his, despite the fact they use the same formula: SpongeBob's food is delicious because he prepares his Krabby Patties with tender-loving care and is in most ways an excellent cook, while Mr. Krabs is in most ways a horrible cook and prepares his food with selfishness-induced carelessness to the point where his Krabby Patties are poorly prepared and disgusting. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob he deserves his own place, but SpongeBob tells him he needs a boss, and Mr. Krabs happily obliges. Mr. Krabs takes 99% of the business and money while SpongeBob agrees to have 1%.

The next morning, Squidward walks into the empty, destroyed Krusty Krab and starts to sing in happiness because no one will be there to bother him. However, the health inspectors shut SpongeBob's Place down for violations, so they go back to the Krusty Krab. Just as everyone arrives, they hear someone singing inside. Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob peek inside and see Squidward dancing and singing about how much he hates his job and people, Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, and the Bikini Bottomites. Mr. Krabs is outraged at Squidward's insults and gets very angry at him while the customers laugh. Squidward shrinks in embarrassment. Afterwards, Mr. Krabs gives SpongeBob a very special surprise: he decides to share the name with his restaurant by adding "SpongeBob's Place" on the Krusty Krab sign, much to SpongeBob's delight, as the episode ends.

This episode was pitched as an idea on November 23, 2015.[1] The episode name was confirmed in a tweet by Vincent Waller on October 24, 2016.[2]

French title card.

  • The French title of the episode is "Chez Bob l'éponge," which translates to "At SpongeBob SquarePants' House."
    • Since the French dub actually translates the title cards into French, the dubbers had to flip the title card upside-down so the words could fit in the glow effect.
