Plot

SpongeBob and Patrick board a bus to get home from Glove World, a glove-themed amusement park. They have apparently gotten on the wrong one and head off a large cliff. The cliff leads to a sort of aphotic zone called Rock Bottom, inhabited by anglerfish-like creatures. Patrick gets on a bus home but accidentally leaves SpongeBob behind. After several unsuccessful attempts to get on the bus, he heads to the bus station and gets in a very long line. By the time he gets to the front, he finds out that the last bus to leave for the night is already gone, and he's stuck there until morning. He gets scared by a raspberry sound coming from nowhere, and he dashes back to the cliff. The raspberry sound's maker reveals himself to be a friendly-looking anglerfish creature, who has SpongeBob's balloon from Glove World. The creature blows up the balloon, ties it to SpongeBob's wrist, and allows him to float up the cliff and back to Bikini Bottom. Unfortunately, Patrick thinks SpongeBob is still in Rock Bottom and goes back; causing bad luck for Patrick! The aphotic zone is the depth of the ocean that is not exposed to sunlight. ...

Trivia/Goofs

  • When the bus heads toward Rock Bottom, SpongeBob says, "I think we're on the wrong-- AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!", but the original captions read, "I think we're on the wrong bus!"
  • When SpongeBob's shoe comes untied, he ties it back up. But in Your Shoe's Untied, he doesn't know how to tie them. This episode was shown before the episode Your Shoe's Untied
  • At the beginning of the episode, SpongeBob says "Another fantastic day at Glove World." When he says 'at Glove World', his lips don't move.
  • When SpongeBob pulls coins out of his pocket to buy a candy bar, it seems like he has easy access to change, however when he was on the bus he couldn't find any money.
  • On the bus, SpongeBob has his pants ripped off, but when he is smashed into the windshield, he has them back on.
  • When SpongeBob screams "Fish paste!", the original captions read "Fish face!".
  • SpongeBob says "Mmmmmmmm... Kelp Nougat Crunch." when looking at the vending machine, but the original captions say "Mmmmmmmm... Kelp Nugget Crunch.".
  • Rock Bottom is also seen in the video game, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom.
  • The citizens of Rock Bottom speak English while blowing raspberries in between sentences.
  • Look close: When SpongeBob is floating back to Bikini Bottom, his pineapple can be seen to the very left of the city. By the poor blending, you can tell the pineapple is composited into the image.
  • The design of the clock in the bus station resembles a Poké Ball from Pokémon, but actually is a common red and white fishing bobber.
  • When SpongeBob looks at the vending machine, it is facing him. But when he is choosing the candy he wants, it is facing the opposite side of the road that's at a 90 degree angle.
  • As the bus carrying SpongeBob and Patrick descends down the cliff face, the dramatic incidental music is from the song "Whirlpool", performed by the Detroit, Michigan surf band, The Volcanos.
  • The title of this episode is a reference of the same title of the song by the band KISS.
  • When SpongeBob told Patrick "50¢", Patrick said "Nope" (he doesn't even have that much money). Regular closed captions excluded Patrick's line, and it is a little hard to hear it.
