Synopsis[]

The episode starts on a dark and stormy night at Bikini Atoll, which reminds the narrator of the time when Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob thought they murdered a health inspector, and decides to tell the story.

One bright sunny morning at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is cooking and Mr. Krabs is having a "money bath" as the health inspector arrives for a surprise inspection. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to get him one of everything on the menu, which he does. After a few dishes, he orders one ordinary Krabby Patty before he can pass judgment. Meanwhile, a television report reveals that an impostor is passing himself off as a health inspector conning restaurants in order to get free food. Outraged at the prospect of giving away free food, Mr. Krabs believes that the one in their venue is not genuine and schemes to play a nasty prank on him. He and SpongeBob concoct the "Nasty Patty" using Volcano Sauce, seahorse radish, and toenail clippings. For good measure, SpongeBob drops it in the toilet and Mr. Krabs dries it with his gym socks.

However, before the health inspector could consume it, a fly goes into his mouth, causing him to choke and spill the patty on the floor. He then slips on the patty and hits his head on the table, knocking him out, and the fly comes out of his mouth. As SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs enjoy watching him suffer from the kitchen, thinking he already ate it, another TV report come on and says the impostor has been arrested. His picture is then shown, revealing him to be a different individual. Realizing the inspector in the restaurant was real, and believe that their patty killed him after noticing his unconscious body, SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs begin to panic and blame each other. Mr. Krabs ultimately decides to take the body out and bury it so that nobody would discover what they did.

SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs take the health inspector out to the top of a hill and quickly bury him. In the process of doing so, the health inspector, who begins to regain consciousness, gets hit in the head by a large rock SpongeBob dug up. The police then show up, offering to take them back to the Krusty Krab. Then it starts to rain, causing the dirt covering the health inspector (who was buried upright) to turn to mud and the health inspector slides back down the hill. Mr. Krabs has SpongeBob put him in the trunk of the police car with the shovel. On the way back to the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to bring the health inspector to the back door and put him in the freezer, using shovel as code for the body. SpongeBob thinks he is talking about the actual shovel and attempts to ask him what he wants him to do with the inspector, nearly revealing what they did. Mr. Krabs cuts him off and makes it look like he was asking about bottles of soda, which makes the cops suspicious.

Back at the restaurant, SpongeBob tries to take the body out back and hide it in the freezer. However, the back door is locked, leaving SpongeBob to carry on his most difficult task: he marches through the front door with the body stuffed inside his hat, making him lose his balance as he struggles to walk over to the kitchen door. The officers ask Mr. Krabs about SpongeBob's strange behavior, only for him to attempt to stall them and bribe them with money. The officers are then called through their walkie-talkies and receive a sudden report about two people burying a body on the hill on Shallow Grave Road, obviously Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob with the health inspector.

As they are about to leave, one of the cops asks for a soda and Krabs quickly hands it over. But then the cop wants ice as well and Mr. Krabs grows really nervous, prompting the officer to go inside the freezer and get the ice herself. Mr. Krabs freaks out, barricades the door, and makes excuses about not having any ice. The officer simply shoves him aside and she about to get the ice herself, when Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob confess that they have committed a murder and say the body has been hidden in the freezer.

When the police open the freezer however, they discover nothing and deem it as a hoax. One of the officers jokingly suggests that the health inspector became a zombie and walked out if he was killed and hidden there in the first place. Soon after, the health inspector shows up and the terrified officers savagely attack him, only stopping after they realize he's not zombified. The health inspector, still disoriented, informs Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob that they have passed the inspection. They all go to have Krabby Patties to celebrate, and the inspector is hit by the door. The narrator ends the episode by deeming the characters to be idiots.

Trivia[]

General[]

• This episode originally had the packaging code of 46b, and was paired with "Snowball Effect."^[2]

• This episode's title card was originally different, appearing with a more swampy and grotesque background than the final mysterious background.
  • The music on the title card was also originally going to be "Moon Walk" before being changed to "Hercule Poirot."
• In this episode, the Krusty Krab has a green neon sign in the rain as opposed to its normal red color.

  • Seahorse radish

  • Miscellaneous revolting items
• In the video game Lights, Camera, Pants!, there is a level called "Flippin' Out." In it, there are enemies called "Chum Bucket Patties," which resemble the Nasty Patty itself.
• A portion of SpongeBob's laughter during the scene where the Health Inspector chokes is recycled from "The Paper."
• In the video game SpongeBob HeroPants, Nasty Patties can be used for throwing at enemies.
• The Nasty Patty can be seen in a cabinet in the PC game Employee of the Month, in the Krusty Krab.
• Mr. Krabs calls SpongeBob a "loony loofah," implying that he resembles a household sponge material rather than a true sea sponge.
• The menu item Diet Red Tide is based on red tide, a large, poisonous concentration of algae which discolors the water, usually into a reddish color.
• In real life, a health violation can result in closure for a restaurant for a while until the problem is fixed.
• This the first episode for two things:
  • The first episode where the title card has its own shadow.

  • The second appearance of Volcano Sauce. The first was "Karate Choppers."
  • The second episode where a disgusting-looking Krabby Patty is seen up close. The first was "The Algae's Always Greener."
• This is the only episode so far where there is thunder at Bikini Atoll.
• When SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs laugh and scream about killing the health inspector, the stove is sitting to the right of the order window. Normally, it is centered under the order window.

  • During the Bikini Bottom's Most Wanted marathon, this episode was paired with "Graveyard Shift."^[3]
  • On the November 10, 2006 airing, this episode was paired with "Missing Identity."^[4]

Dub facts[]

• In South Korea, the episode was banned on EBS due to its scary themes. However, it is available on South Korean DVD releases and the JEI TV dub did air it.

Cultural references[]

• Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob thinking the health inspector is dead and their attempt to bury the "body" is very similar to The Three Stooges short Three Pests in a Mess, where the titular trio does this when they accidentally shoot a mannequin and mistake it for a real man.

Errors[]

• After the health inspector drops the Nasty Patty, it looks like a normal Krabby Patty.

• While SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs, "But you told me to give it to him!," his nose and part of his left eyebrow quickly flash blue.

• When the health inspector begins the inspection and SpongeBob begins to blink, his eyelashes are visible when they should not be.
• When SpongeBob is dragging the health inspector to get him buried, the health inspector is not wearing his hat. But when he wakes up and gets hit in the head with a big rock, he is wearing his hat.
• When SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs bury the health inspector, his head is sticking out with the rest of his body in the ground, but when they are talking to the police, he is buried in the traditional way: horizontally.

• When the health inspector's body slides off the hill he was buried in, Mr. Krabs' shirt is white instead of blue.
• Sandy is listed in the credits, but she does not appear in this episode nor its sister episode.

• The opening credits say "storyboard director" instead of "storyboard directors."
  • A similar error also occurs in "Rise and Shine."
  • This also occurs in "Enchanted Tiki Dreams."
• In the French dub, the inspector does not groan when the fly comes out of his mouth.
  • The exact same error happens minutes later after the rock hits him.
