Characters

Synopsis

At SpongeBob's house, SpongeBob and Patrick engage in a thumb war and SpongeBob wins. He gives Patrick a thumbs up, making him feel good. He then goes to work at the Krusty Krab and gives some customers thumbs up. He gives Mr. Krabs a thumbs up and Squidward two thumbs up. He later talks to Sandy on the street and gives her the thumbs up as well. Sandy asks SpongeBob if he feels like he is using the thumbs up too much, but he says "no" and goes to cross the street, giving everyone a thumbs up. However, after he does that for a long time, people get creeped out.

He does another one and breaks both his thumbs. He goes to the hospital and Dr. Manfish tells him he cannot say for certain if he will be able to use his thumbs again. He goes to the Krusty Krab where he cannot cook Krabby Patties anymore due to his injury. Mr. Krabs then puts Patrick as fry cook until SpongeBob can cook again. SpongeBob is upset and walks through Bikini Bottomites using their thumbs. He then mopes around his house. Sandy finds him and tells him he needs to find a purpose in life again.

Thumbs Broken

SpongeBob then mends his thumbs through training and goes to the Krusty Krab where Patrick has taken his job. They then have another thumb war to determine who gets the job. SpongeBob wins and gets his job back happily.

Trivia

General

Cultural references

  • The video game controller SpongeBob uses borrows elements from the SNES controller (multicolored buttons) and the PlayStation controller (overall shape and layout of the analog sticks and D-Pad).

Errors

  • The red parachutes on the thumbs that showed when SpongeBob fell down with his broken thumbs are already burned in the next scene.
  • The mother and the baby on the bench appear during the "Thumbs Song," but they disappear when they zoom out and show the Thumb Con convention.
  • There is a scene where SpongeBob is shown walking outside of Bikini Bottom. Then the next scene shows him immediately walking to his pineapple house, which is located in Bikini Bottom.
