Characters[]

Synopsis[]

The Yard Sale 012

The yard sale.

The episode begins with GrandPat dreaming that he is fishing. His dream self wakes him up, and he sees the family setting up a yard sale in the front lawn. GrandPat scoffs at the idea, not wanting to sell his precious belongings, and suddenly realizes that the family must be selling them without his consent. He rushes downstairs and catches Patrick giving away a treasure chest of gold. He steals it back from the buyer and gives him a lollipop in return.

Cecil tells GrandPat that everyone in the family contributed items to the yard sale, and Patrick says that he simply had the most "old junk" to sell. GrandPat explains that each of the antiques represents a memory of his. He takes a foam finger from a buyer and says that he got it in ancient Rome. He starts having a vision.

The Yard Sale 111

GrandPat distracts Moronicus.

GrandPat recalls his days in ancient Rome, where a feared gladiator named Moronicus fought in the Clamiseum. While strong, Monoricus could not tell the gladiators from the actual Clamiseum staff. It was GrandPat's job to dress like a clown and distract him, to the crowd's disapproval. GrandPat makes a balloon animal as a distraction and places a barrel over Moronicus's head, leading him to smash headfirst into a column and fall into a dazed state. The crowd applauds and showers GrandPat in the thumbs, which accidentally hurts him since they are made of concrete.

Patrick had not listened to the story, and GrandPat sees Bubble Bass trying to buy a "vintage nose hair puller." He says they were teeth-pulling pliers from his medieval dentistry days. GrandPat was the only "toothsmith," a blacksmith who operates on teeth, in the kingdom. After pulling out a patient's tooth, he gets a message from Princess Pearlina, and goes over to her castle with his horse, Bicuspid. Although it initially seems like Pearlina has a toothache, it is actually her pet dragon, Mr. Boots. GrandPat goes inside the dragon's mouth, and gets burned multiple times by his fire breath. With the help of a knight he meets, and Pearlina's strength, he manages to pull out the tooth. In the present day, GrandPat takes back his pliers and prevents his dragon tooth furniture from being sold.

The Yard Sale 271

GrandPat shows off his vacuum.

Slappy shows up with a disembodied brain, which neither GrandPat nor Patrick recognize, so GrandPat lets him have it. Mr. Krabs shows up, wanting to buy a vacuum cleaner, and GrandPat explains that it is from his job as a vacuum salesman in 1849. In the flashback, he goes up to an old prospector and cleans his mine to demonstrate. When he turns up the power, he sucks up all the gold in the mine, and the miner himself. While GrandPat is in his trance, Mr. Krabs buys the vacuum from Patrick.

The Yard Sale 349

GrandPat returns to the Clamiseum.

GrandPat then catches a little girl trying to buy a hula hoop, which he claims is an "oldie-o" he got in the future. A flash-forward to GrandPat in 3000 A.D. shows him buying an oldie-o, a device meant to assist old people. He returns to his job at the Clamiseum, where an elderly Moronicus is still employed. GrandPat, again dressed as a clown, puts an oldie-o over him to get him to sleep, getting applause from the crowd. The girl refuses to believe his story, but it turns out to actually be one of his oldie-os. GrandPat yells at Patrick to stop selling his items, and confiscates all of them from the customers.

A mother and her son show up and want to buy a new grandpa, since their old one is "on the fritz." They pay GrandPat 50 bucks and a lollipop to be their grandfather. GrandPat enthusiastically leaves his family, and Patrick wishes for a new grandpa. A man advertises Pappy Farms to him, a place where customers can buy new grandfathers. Patrick tries to buy a chicken, and Bunny scolds him. The family waves towards the camera as the advertisement ends.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • This is the ninth episode from the SpongeBob franchise to have two non-consecutive production codes, following "Christmas Who?," "Shanghaied," "Ugh," "The Sponge Who Could Fly," "Swamp Mates," "Squirrel Jelly," "Handemonium," and "Krusty Koncessionaires," with the second half of the episode having the code of 325-010, and the first having the code of 325-021.
    • This is also the first and only The Patrick Star Show episode to receive this treatment.
    • It is likely that this episode was originally written as a 11-minute segment, but was later expanded into a 22-minute special.
  • Mr. Krabs' Wild West ancestor looks similar to Great Grandpop Krabs.
  • This episode was supposed to air in the UK and Ireland on November 21, 2021, but got replaced with a rerun of "Terror at 20,000 Leagues."
  • Although GrandPat was a vacuum cleaner salesman in 1849, vacuums were not actually invented until 1908.
  • The only item GrandPat has that are successfully sold are the vacuum cleaner and the oldie-o.

Cultural references[]

Background design featuring the rocket van from the series.

  • One of the items on sale is a figure of the rocket van from Breadwinners. This was added as an intentional reference by the episode's designer, Sterling Richter, as it was the first Nickelodeon show she worked on.
  • A store in the future is called "Forever 87," a reference to real-life clothing store Forever 21.
  • A little girl assumes that GrandPat's oldie-o is a "loopy-hoop," a reference to hula hoops. The name "hula hoop" is trademarked.
  • The old prospector has a mime named Marcel. Marcel Marceau was a real-life mime.
  • When the prospector is trapped in the vacuum, he says "Has the West been won yet?", referencing the 1962 Western movie How the West Was Won.

Errors[]

  • When GrandPat is ordering his oldie-o, his tooth turns brown for a frame.
