Mr. Krabs opens the door to his house to find the lights turned off. He turns them on and sees his house is tidy, and no bubbles. SpongeBob and Patrick are about to leave, but Mr. Krabs panics, and they think Mr. Krabs finds out about the stained dollar. They apologize, but Mr. Krabs is just surprised that they dusted his knickknacks. He panics again, SpongeBob and Patrick apologize again, but he is surprised about the painted floor molding. He panics again because he finds out that they messed up with his [[Mr. Krabs' Doll-a-Rama|dollar...rama]]. One of his dolls in the doll collection isn't upright. He says that they can go home now, but then runs into a pile of paintings where his dollar usually went and moves away each one to find SpongeBob covering the dollar.

Mr. Krabs soon takes him out of the way to find his first dollar stained by paint and drawn on by crayon (Patrick thinks Mr. Krabs will buy it). SpongeBob and Patrick are afraid to have their rear ends cut off, but he licks the dollar, and the paint (including the crayon marking) comes off of the dollar. The two are confused, and Mr. Krabs says the paint actually comes off with saliva. SpongeBob concludes that Mr. Krabs said that the paint was permanent so they would be extra careful, but Mr. Krabs said he tricked them just for fun, and laughs at his own jest, causing SpongeBob and Patrick to storm out in disgust. Unfortunately, Mr. Krabs laughs so hard that he spits all over the place, causing all the paint to melt from the walls. He groans in disappointment as he realizes this and mutters to himself that he really needs to learn how to "say it, not spray it."

Characters

Synopsis

SpongeBob and Patrick are tearing the Krusty Krab down and getting themselves hurt because Squidward tricked them into thinking it would attract customers. Mr. Krabs figures this out and sentences the two to do a super, special, secret assignment--to paint the inside of his house. But Mr. Krabs tells them that the paint they are using is permanent. So if they get paint, even a drop, on anything except the wall, he will cut off their butts and place them above his fireplace. SpongeBob sees that Mr. Krabs has so many possessions, and tells Patrick he decides to move them first. Patrick says that there is no need to move the things because they are not paid to move them.

Then they place a tarp, but it is just a small tarp, so they put down more tarps. SpongeBob takes out a huge brush but decides to use a tiny brush. SpongeBob takes it out, and then, six hours later, carefully paints a drop onto the wall, which begins dropping. SpongeBob (in a panic that it may get onto an item) blows on it to change direction, and blow dries it off the wall, only to have created a giant paint bubble. Patrick blows another giant bubble shortly after, and the two merge. SpongeBob assures that the bubble cannot get any bigger, but Patrick says "Nonsense!" and inflates the bubble, causing it to pop, covering Mr. Krabs' whole house in paint, without getting a drop on anything... except on Mr. Krabs' first dollar

SpongeBob tries wiping the stain off with his tie, but only ends up covering the entire dollar in paint.

Then they try a couple more things to get it off, including washing it in a washing machine, spraying it, using a saw, beating it up with a club and using a computer (which Patrick just uses to smash it), but all fail. Then they decide to put another dollar on the wall. Patrick takes out a dollar from his wallet, but Patrick uses it to buy a candy bar from Mr. Krabs' candy machine instead. SpongeBob looks into a mirror, assuring that he shall overcome panic through strength... just as Mr. Krabs approaches his door, thus making SpongeBob's reflection leave him on his own. SpongeBob panics, but comes up with an idea to hide the stained dollar.

Mr. Krabs opens the door to his house to find the lights turned off. He turns them on and sees his house is tidy, and no bubbles. SpongeBob and Patrick are about to leave, but Mr. Krabs panics, and they think Mr. Krabs finds out about the stained dollar. They apologize, but Mr. Krabs is just surprised that they dusted his knickknacks. He panics again, SpongeBob and Patrick apologize again, but he is surprised about the painted floor molding. He panics again because he finds out that they messed up with his dollar...rama. One of his dolls in the doll collection isn't upright. He says that they can go home now, but then runs into a pile of paintings where his dollar usually went and moves away each one to find SpongeBob covering the dollar.

Mr. Krabs soon takes him out of the way to find his first dollar stained by paint and drawn on by crayon (Patrick thinks Mr. Krabs will buy it). SpongeBob and Patrick are afraid to have their rear ends cut off, but he licks the dollar, and the paint (including the crayon marking) comes off of the dollar. The two are confused, and Mr. Krabs says the paint actually comes off with saliva. SpongeBob concludes that Mr. Krabs said that the paint was permanent so they would be extra careful, but Mr. Krabs said he tricked them just for fun, and laughs at his own jest, causing SpongeBob and Patrick to storm out in disgust. Unfortunately, Mr. Krabs laughs so hard that he spits all over the place, causing all the paint to melt from the walls. He groans in disappointment as he realizes this and mutters to himself that he really needs to learn how to "say it, not spray it."

Release

Reception

  • "Wet Painters" was ranked #92 during the Best Day Ever event from November 9–10, 2006.

Trivia

General

  • This episode premiered in Canada on October 25, 2002.
  • Here is the order the paintings on the stack:
    • A clown with a teardrop (similar to one of Squidward's self-portraits in "Squid's Visit")
    • A car race with the red car winning
    • Some shapes that are similar to art made by Piet Mondrian
    • A banana
    • Painty The Pirate
  • In this episode, Mr. Krabs is heard saying "You messed up my dollar," rather than his usual pirate-like "me."
  • This is the second episode where SpongeBob and Patrick are given the job to paint something by Mr. Krabs. The first is "Sailor Mouth."
    • However, this time they actually do paint something after Mr. Krabs instructed them to do so.
  • It is later revealed how Mr. Krabs got his first dollar in "Friend or Foe."
  • The scene where the paint gets everywhere is very popular in YouTube Poops.
  • "Two giant paint bubbles!" has become an internet meme.
  • At one point, Mr. Krabs sings "Blow the Man Down," the sea shanty on which the "SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song" is based.
  • A picture of Popeye is visible among the pictures in Mr. Krabs' house.
  • The way that SpongeBob says "yeah" after blowing the steam with the hairdryer is the same way he says it in "MuscleBob BuffPants" and "Prehibernation Week."
  • In the storyboard version featured on the Sponge for Hire DVD, SpongeBob says, "I dedicate this crash to my best friend Squidward!"[1] This scene was cut possibly because it would make it seem as if Squidward was dead.
  • Irony: SpongeBob and Patrick could've just taken everything off the wall. SpongeBob initially suggested this but Patrick disagreed.
  • Only two drops of paint (SpongeBob's single-strand brush and Patrick's bubble) are used to paint the whole room.

    Patrick holding a time card.

  • A pink version of Mr. Krabs and a yellow version of Pearl can be seen in one of the photos in Mr. Krabs' house.
  • This is the first episode to feature a normal computer. The computer featured has a CRT monitor.
  • Mr. Krabs window doesn't have a hole when it's broken during the wall hit at the start.
  • After a long line of time cards, Patrick is shown holding the last one, breaking the fourth wall.

Cultural references

  • One of the pictures on the wall is very similar to the paintings of the 1920-1930's Dutch painter Piet Mondrian.

Errors

  • Due to an error, the 1998 Klasky Csupo logo from Nickelodeon's animated TV series Rugrats was seen instead of the normal logo on airings of the episode from 2002 to 2006. See the sister episode "Krusty Krab Training Video" for more information.
  • After SpongeBob rubs the dollar with his tie the second time, there is still some green on the dollar. In the next shot, it is completely covered with paint.
  • The paint gets smeared on both sides of the dollar.
  • While SpongeBob and Patrick say "but" after the paint on the dollar is removed by saliva, SpongeBob's front teeth appears to be one rather than two.
  • When Patrick crashes into the wall at the Krusty Krab, the window on the wall in Mr. Krabs' office breaks off to reveal solid wall behind it, which does not make sense due to the fact that the outside could be seen through the glass.
    • This is most likely used as a joke.
  • The door at Mr. Krabs' house switches left to right. When he advises SpongeBob and Patrick, he opens the door, but after, the handle switches to the right.
  • When SpongeBob and Patrick try to wash the paint off of the dollar with the laundry machine, the wall is not painted. When they use a fan, the wall is painted. When SpongeBob uses a bat on Patrick, the wall is not painted again, and when Patrick smashes the dollar with the computer, the wall is painted again. The reason why the wall is not painted is because of that early shots animate before going outside.

The dollar was drawn with a green crayon.

  • When SpongeBob sprays Patrick with the hose, it looks more like water than sulfuric acid that's coming out. This is because while water looks blue, sulfuric acid looks to be more of a yellowish color.


Running gags

  • SpongeBob and Patrick trying to get the paint off of the dollar.
