Plot

When SpongeBob is informed that the annual jellyfishing convention in Ukelele Bottom is on this weekend, he replies that no-one will be here to take care of Gary, and that he can't come. He asks Squidward, who refuses. However, Squidward changes his mind when he hears that this means SpongeBob and Patrick will be gone. SpongeBob shows Squidward how to take care of Gary, but he isn't listening. When SpongeBob and Patrick go away, Squidward forgets all about Gary. Gary the Snail is a character in the Nickelodeon animated series series SpongeBob SquarePants, which first aired in July 1999. ...


Three days later, he hears Gary meow, and realizes that he forgot the snail. He quickly tries to feed him, but Gary refuses to eat. SpongeBob calls the vet, and says Gary has to have an injection of snail plasma. Squidward tries to poke the syringe into Gary while SpongeBob is holding him up, but SpongeBob keeps snatching Gary away, saying that Squidward is doing it too fast. He continues to do this, until Squidward accidentally injects SpongeBob. Squidward tells SpongeBob that nothing will happen to him, but something does. In the night, as SpongeBob tries to serve Gary some dinner, he eats all of it himself. When SpongeBob looks in a mirror, his eyes stretch, his arms and legs shrivel up and fall off, and his body stretches. He realizes that he is turning into a snail, and goes to Squidward for help. Squidward is terrified at the sight of the SpongeSnail and runs around his house trying to escape him. After a few minutes of this, he accidentally gets injected with the syringe and turns into a snail. In the next scene, Gary, SpongeSnail and SquidSnail are singing "Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow" (to the tune of "Yo ho blow the man down") and Patrick yells " Will you clam up?!" and throws a shoe at SquidSnail. Blood plasma is the liquid component of blood, in which the blood cells are suspended. ...


Trivia/Goofs

  • This is the first episode of six that Gary is portrayed as a main character. The others being Dumped, Gary Takes a Bath, The Great Snail Race, Have You Seen This Snail? and Once Bitten.
  • This is one of the least seen episodes seen on TV, probably because it is paired with a holiday episode.
  • On the following DVD containing this episode, there is a deleted scene where Squidward is turning into a snail.
  • SpongeBob has fallen asleep in his chair. When the rooster crows he has what seems to be the beginning of a growing beard. When he jumps off the chair the beard is gone.
  • The Doctorfish in this episode is the same as the one who treats SpongeBob in the 'Suds' episode. That means he is a veterinarian also.
  • When SpongeBob transforms into a snail, he just loses his limbs and grows eyestalks, and his pants act as his shell. But when Squidward becomes a snail, he looks more like a real one.
  • SpongeBob says "That's okay, I'm a lefty anyway.", even though it was his left arm that retracted first.
  • Another town named Ukulele Bottom is mentioned in this episode.
  • All the nets on the bus to Ukulele Bottom are square.
  • The title of this episode refers to the 1957 Michael Landon film I Was a Teenage Werewolf.
  • When Squidward gets in bed he says he hopes that he never sees a snail again, but in The Great Snail Race, he adopts Snellie, who is a snail.
  • In this episode, SpongeBob tastes Gary's food. However, in Missing Identity, he says, "I've been feeding this to Gary for years and I don't even know what it tastes like". Perhaps this could have been a different type of Snail Food, or he doesn't remember the events of this episode.

I Was a Teenage Werewolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (554 words)
I Was a Teenage Werewolf is a 1957 horror film starring Michael Landon as a troubled teenager and Whit Bissell as the primary adult.
In November of 1957, less than five months after the release of I Was a Teenage Werewolf, and coinciding with the release of I Was Teenage Frankenstein, AIP released Blood of Dracula, a film which bears more than a passing resemblance to their summer box office hit.
I Was a Teenage Werewolf likely paved the way for Walt Disney to do his version of a Felix Salten shapeshifting novel, The Hound of Florence, (with Disney favorite Tommy Kirk as the hapless teenager and A-lister Fred MacMurray as the answer to B-lister Whit Bissell) released in 1959 under the title, The Shaggy Dog.
