Plot

At the Krusty Krab, it's 'Employee Brotherhood day'. Squidward doesn't know this. On 'Employee Brotherhood day', all employees must exchange gifts (they have to make the gifts themselves), and SpongeBob gives Squidward a sweater made out of his eyelashes. When Squidward scoffs at his heartfelt gift, SpongeBob begins to cry copiously, eventually handing Squidward a sweater made from his tears.

Squidward wishes he could buy a gift instead of make one, and sees a group of pirates outside with a sack of pies. He goes outside and his crew says that they're bombs, but after Squidward offers to buy one, the pirate says they were kidding, and Squidward buys a pie for $25. He lies to Mr. Krabs, saying that he made it. Mr. Krabs inspects it, and says he has to eat a bit to see it wasn't horrible. He breaks a tiny bit off the crust and says "This would go great with some milk!" As he gets the milk, he trips over and the bit of the pie explodes and wrecks the back of the Krusty Krab. Squidward and Mr. Krabs are blown far away. When they arrive at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob acts as if he ate the pie, even though he actually ate a different one. Mr. Krabs tells Squidward that the pie would explode when it reached SpongeBob's lower intestine (which is around sunset), so Squidward decides to make SpongeBob's remaining hours fun. After being asked what the funnest things he could do are, SpongeBob presents a list of the funnest things he could do. Pirates may refer to: A group of people committing any of these activities: Piracy at sea or on a river/lake. ... Wikipedia does not yet have an article with this exact name. ...

SpongeBob's list:

  • Show my best friend Squidward to everybody in town
  • Show my best friend Squidward to everybody in town wearing a salmon suit (That's Squidward wearing the salmon suit)
  • Knock-knock jokes
  • Reverse

  • All-you-can-do
  • Trade faces
  • Peel-a-guig
  • Open-heart surgery
  • Dismemberment (not seen, mentioned by Squidward)
  • Watch the sunset with Squidward

Upon hearing this, Squidward remembers that SpongeBob will explode at sunset. So he builds a brick wall between them. At sunset, there is an explosion, but it's actually a bubble that SpongeBob blew (It's in the shape of a bomb and explodes). There is another explosion which knocks the wall down, crushing Squidward. Squidward comes out and finds that SpongeBob is still alive. He says he's supposed to explode. SpongeBob tries very hard and finally yells, "GARY! YOU ARE GOING TO FINISH YOUR DESSERT, AND YOU ARE GONNA LIKE IT!!" Squidward tells him that he means SpongeBob is supposed to blow up into a million pieces, and Squidward tells him about the pie. SpongeBob doesn't seem to remember, then says 'Oh, this pie!" He takes the explosive pie out of his pocket and says that he was saving it for them to share. He trips over, and the pie/bomb hits Squidward in the face and goes off, demolishing all of Bikini Bottom. The (extremely huge) explosion, here portrayed by actual live action footage of the nuclear test Operation Crossroads, can be seen above the sea. Squidward gets the full force of the explosion, and manages to utter out, "Ow."

Cultural References

  • The Operation Crossroads nuclear test, footage of which is used to represent the explosion near the end of the episode, was conducted at Bikini Atoll. SpongeBob SquarePants is set in the fictional city of Bikini Bottom, which is named after this atoll (possibly indirectly, via the bikini swimsuit).
  • Between Operation Crossroads in 1946, and 1958, Bikini Atoll was the testing ground of more than twenty hydrogen bomb/atomic bomb tests, meaning that Bikini Bottom must have been vapourized or burned down several times in those twelve years. A possible reference to this is made by Mr Krabs who says, "I've seen this before. Eleven times as a matter of fact." Mr. Krabs was in the Navy,(revealed in Shell of a Man, possibly an underwater version of a ground force division) so he should have experienced these events.
  • Camp Lazlo has a similar episode called The Big Cheese. Scoutmaster Lumpus eats a deadly cheese and he is going to die in 13 minutes. At the end, just like the episode, Lumpus doesn't die. Here are the reasons and the unfortunate events: In Camp Lazlo, the cheese is made in China and Lumpus goes to jail. In SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob kept the pie in his pocket and he trips causing a big explosion.

Trivia/Goofs

  • In the scene where the hole created by the bomb going off is seen, we see some of the metal wall curls inwards, whereas it should curl outwards, because of the direction of the blast energy.
  • On YTV airings of this episode, the title card isn't shown.
  • When Squidward parks his car, you can see that his bumper sticker says "Don't ask me about my day".

  • When Squidward asks what the coat is made of, Spongebob replies, "Eyelashes!" However, in the comic version of this episode (from "Who's Hungry?") he replies, "Eyelashes and eyebrows!" A similar mistake was made when Squidward asks what flavor the pie is. In the episode, the pirates say, "Apple!" "Cherry!" "Raspberry!", but in the comic, they say, "Apple!" "Cherry!" "Boysenberry!"
  • When SpongeBob trips and lets the pie hit Squidward's face, the explosion takes place at the center of Bikini Bottom rather than on the hill they were on.
  • This was considered to be when SpongeBob began it's glorious years, as season one wasn't as popular. These years of glory end after season three.
  • This episode is the first SpongeBob episode to allow blood to be seen. The second is in Karate Island, and third in Born to Be Wild.
  • The rock which trips Spongebob when he drops the bomb pie only appears in the scene where he actually trips. Other times, the rock has vanished.

Life of pie - The Boston Globe (1067 words)
Perhaps an indicator that the art of pie baking is dying is seen on grocery shelves.
Pie may have originated in Europe, but Americans have spent 400 years making pie their own, filling them with everything from key limes and sweet potatoes to lemons, chocolate, bananas, and cream.
A pie begins with the crust, which can be decoratively fluted or boast latticework or even intricate stencils, but the most important thing is to strike the elusive balance of tender, flaky, and crisp.
