"Ink Lemonade" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season 11. In this episode, Patrick's lemonade stand is unsuccessful until he gets a secret ingredient from Squidward.

Characters

Synopsis

In the beginning of the episode, Patrick is outside running a lemonade stand, yelling "Lemonade!" so he can attract some customers. Squidward comes outside to find Patrick with no customers, because his jugs are just water. Squidward decides to give Patrick old, rotten lemons, which make his eye red, and also cause his first customer to get sick. Eventually, Patrick decides to replace the lemons with the contents of a toy firetruck, however SpongeBob joins in with Patrick and yells in a megaphone, scaring Squidward and spraying ink out of his nose. Patrick finds this liquid and SpongeBob decides to drink it. SpongeBob gets sick at first but eventually finds it delicious. As customers starts to line up for black lemonade, Patrick has to get more ink.

"May I borrow a cup of squid squeezings?"

Squidward doesn't want to give anymore ink to Patrick, so Patrick resorts to scaring Squidward, including revealing his inner organs and letting a sea spider named Mildred enter Squidward's house. Squidward sprays a lot of ink out of his nose and Patrick gives the black lemonade to the stand.

Squidward, now paranoid, thinks about what could possibly happen to him next, and therefore starts to act crazy. Patrick's final plan is to create a haunted area in front of Squidward's house. As Squidward goes into the haunted area, it causes the now paranoid Squidward to spray lots of ink into a few vases and cups. Eventually, he runs out of the haunted zone and finds out that SpongeBob and Patrick were using his ink to sell lemonade the whole time. Squidward starts to get upset at Patrick and SpongeBob, however he comes up with a plan - opening his own black lemonade stand for himself.

Unfortunately, Squidward is unable to make more lemonade, so he chooses to have a customer scare him in order to get lemonade. Don the Whale does, and Squidward sprays ink like crazy over the customers. Eventually the customers find out the "source" and puke in Squidward's house. SpongeBob and Patrick also moved out of the lemonade business to sell cookies. As Squidward eats one of them, SpongeBob and Patrick say they used spider eggs as chips, resulting in Squidward literally screaming out spiders and spraying ink, as the episode ends.

Production

The episode was confirmed by Vincent Waller on December 31, 2017.[2]

In an interview with Animation World Network on July 8, 2024, Rodger Bumpass called this episode the hardest one he'd ever worked on, as there was a sequence where he had to "1. Be shocked and scream, 2. Violently spray out ink, (nose and mouth sounds), 3. Then scream again and run away." This sequence was repeated over and over, with Bumpass calling the process "exhausting."[3]

Trivia

General

  • Rodger Bumpass referred to this episode as "The Lemonade Stand" in an interview.[3]
  • Patrick is not shown to be afraid of Mildred in this episode, but he is implied to be afraid of spiders in the episodes "Home Sweet Pineapple," "The Pink Purloiner," "Life Insurance," and "Patrick's Coupon."
  • Squidward breaks the fourth wall at the end of this episode by squirting ink all over the screen.
  • In the scene where Squidward first enters the creepy nursery, there is a picture of the big red bug that the Flying Dutchman turned into in "Ghost Host."
  • According to Kaz on Facebook, cartoon liberties were taken because Squidward is actually an octopus, and since a real-life one inks from its bottom - as Squidward does in some previous episodes - he "didn't want to look like he was pooping. [They]'ve also had him ink from his head in the past. [They] have the lord's permission to change nature for a gag."[4]
  • There are four methods used to scare the ink out of Squidward for black lemonade. The first one was when SpongeBob yelled into a bullhorn from behind. The other three were done by Patrick. The first one was revealing his inner organs. The second one was using Mildred the sea spider. And the third one was making a haunted house.
