The episode begins at the Krusty Krab. It's a very slow day with no customers and Mr. Krabs is not pleased with the emptiness. However, SpongeBob is heard shouting his possession of eight gold doubloons. Upon hearing this, Mr. Krabs jumps over to SpongeBob to take the supposed coins for himself. SpongeBob explains to him that he and Patrick are merely playing a board game called The Flying Dutchman's Treasure Hunt, which is based on a real treasure map.
Mr. Krabs sits down to play with them and wins the game. He instantly becomes addicted, even throwing a potential paying customer out and calling the restaurant closed as he continues to play with them, winning 17 times in a row. They play until late at night, when Patrick is passed out and a tired SpongeBob wants to go to bed. SpongeBob goes home, but finds Mr. Krabs there. Despite Mr. Krabs' attempts to persuade him to play more, SpongeBob soon shouts that he wants to sleep, but apologizes as he tells his boss it's only a game. Disappointed, Mr. Krabs stops and realizes he got carried away and leaves, apologizing for his behavior.
The following morning, SpongeBob wakes up to hear Mr. Krabs' voice and finds him in a pirate ship outside his house. Mr. Krabs tells him that they're going to be real pirates and go on a real treasure hunt, as Patrick appears to eagerly join them. However, the two struggle to learn how to act like "real" pirates and end up causing the ship to crash. The trio is forced to continue on foot, following instructions from the map, read by Mr. Krabs, who also tells them that they're not allowed to look at the map. Eventually, the map tells them to go 10,000 paces east from the seaweed with two leaves on it, and Mr. Krabs asks Patrick which way east is. He looks at a compass and points west. After walking 10,000 paces west, they realize that they have taken the wrong direction because Patrick thought Mr. Krabs said, "weast," and begin walking back.
After going around 9,552 paces east, they're exhausted and set up a camp to stay for the night. While trying to fall asleep, SpongeBob and Patrick get excited and find Mr. Krabs gone and the map all alone. They decide to look at the map but when they open it, they realize that it's actually their board game taped to a piece of paper. Mr. Krabs catches them, and they beg for mercy outside. However, his anger is forgotten when they realize that they're standing directly on top of the "X" that marks the spot and start digging. SpongeBob and Patrick use their hands to dig instead of shovels before they find the treasure, and SpongeBob and Patrick ask each other what they will do with their shares.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Krabs greedily says that, since he is the captain, all of the treasure belongs to him. SpongeBob and Patrick get angry and state they deserve a share, since they found it. The trio begins fighting over the chest, as their arguing wakes up the Flying Dutchman, who appears and questions who dug up his loot. Scared, Mr. Krabs quickly blames SpongeBob and Patrick, the Dutchman questions this and they nervously confirm it. The ghost pirate congratulates SpongeBob and Patrick for saving him a lot of digging. He takes the treasure, and gives them two gold coins as a reward, to their joy. Jealous, Mr. Krabs asks for a reward, but only receives a tiny plastic treasure chest, which the Dutchman explains is "based on a real treasure chest!" as he disappears, laughing maniacally.
After he leaves, Patrick remarks Mr. Krabs looks sweaty again, somewhat hinting that he now wants revenge on the Dutchman for taking back his treasure while the episode concludes.
Production
Script
On November 14, 2016, recording scripts for every episode from season 1 were publicly released, found on one of the asset discs for the PlayStation video game, SuperSponge. This included the recording script for "Arrgh!," then known as "Argh!"[1]
The odds of Patrick rolling a 5 (4/36), SpongeBob rolling a 4 (3/36), and Mr. Krabs rolling a 2 (1/36) consecutively with a pair of standard six-sided dice is 1 in 3888.
This episode won as the letter "X" in the SpongeBob Z to A Countdown marathon because "X marks the spot."
"My leg!:" Mr. Krabs throws Fred out of the Krusty Krab.
The opening credits for this episode are in light blue instead of the regular navy blue. This also happens with its sister episode, "Rock Bottom."
The discoloration might have been caused due to an improperly-applied fade transition between the title cards and the credits.
The word "weast" as said by Patrick after he misheard Mr. Krabs saying "east," has become a popular internet meme.
SpongeBob yelling "Mr. Krabs, I wanna go to bed!," has become a popular internet meme.
The first episode that Vincent Waller worked on, although not as a creative director.
The first episode in which Patrick gets hired at the Krusty Krab, although he gets fired immediately afterwards.
This and "Rock Bottom" make up the first packaged pair of episodes to not feature Template:Data:Links, though his house is briefly seen in both episodes.
When Mr. Krabs looks through his telescope at the beginning of the episode, the Chum Bucket across the street is missing.
File:Arrgh! 012.pngPatrick is not positioned properly in relation to the table.When Patrick is holding the Flying Dutchman's Treasure Hunt box, he is offset so that it looks like he's somehow sitting in front of the red stripe of the table yet behind the yellow stripe.
After SpongeBob says Mr. Krabs is all sweaty again towards the beginning of the episode, the X seems as if Mr. Krabs had not dug yet.
When SpongeBob wakes up to find Mr. Krabs yelling, a bell sound is heard, yet there is no visible bell on the ship.
Patrick rolls a five when he sends Mr. Krabs to the brig, but a close-up of the card reveals the dice showing only two.
When SpongeBob and Patrick first spot Mr. Krabs' map in the tent, there is a compass next to the map. When they go over to touch the map, the compass is gone. It does not reappear.
When SpongeBob and Patrick are looking over the map, it appears flat as their eyes smoothly go over it, but when they take a closer look, it is their game board with several pieces like a tree and sand where the treasure is.
The map could not have rolled up as the game board was cardboard and had the game pieces on it.
When SpongeBob wakes up the next morning, his pupils are miscolored.
When Mr. Krabs asks Patrick which way east is, Patrick thinks that Mr. Krabs said "Weast." Furthermore, he looks at the compass and points in the direction the compass was pointing, which was north at the time, so they end up going 10,000 paces north to the X. When they do not find the X, they go back 10,000 paces east to the X, but they would have had to have made an additional 10,000 paces south to reach the X, so they would have ended up going 30,000 paces in total.
While SpongeBob and Patrick are looking at the map, SpongeBob's eyelashes disappear for one frame.
In one scene in SpongeBob's house, Mr. Krabs is floating behind the chair, rather than sitting on it.
When SpongeBob originally looks out the window to see Mr. Krabs in his pirate ship for the first time, he is in his underwear. However, in the scene after the ship is shown for the first time, SpongeBob is in his normal clothes.
