Synopsis

File:Doodle Dimension 044.png

SpongeBob and Patrick about to enter the Doodle Dimension.

The episode starts with SpongeBob and Patrick going to Sandy's house for presenting to her Squeaky, an orange balloon, only to see that Sandy is working on a portal that takes you to any dimension. When Sandy goes to get something, SpongeBob and Patrick play with the controls of the machine, eventually clicking the button to open it. Despite Sandy's warnings, they accidentally enter the portal and travel to a completely white dimension. The two get scared at first, but realize they can draw whatever they want in the dimension. However, they still miss their friends, and Patrick, missing SpongeBob despite being next to him, draws his old nemesis DoodleBob.

SpongeBob and Patrick in the doodle dimension.

DoodleBob goes onto Patrick's belly and duplicates into smaller versions of himself to bite Patrick. When SpongeBob washes off the doodle with a doodle hose, DoodleBob lands on the puddle made by the doodle hose and becomes huge. Enraged, Doodlebob starts attacking SpongeBob and Patrick, so the two try to use doodle versions of their friends to defeat him, but DoodleBob makes them turn on SpongeBob and Patrick.

DoodleBob ties Patrick on a rope and takes him to a castle, forcing SpongeBob to save him. SpongeBob starts going to DoodleBob's castle, but gets hit with several objects, including Patrick. DoodleBob draws up many smaller DoodleBobs to attack them, but SpongeBob draws a door to hide from the doodles. Unfortunately, Patrick accidentally calls them back, and the two are now surrounded by doodles.

SpongeBob comes up with the plan to make a doodle version of a balloon to get away from the doodles. When the doodles tower themselves to reach SpongeBob and Patrick, they decide to give the balloon to the doodles so they float away. Then SpongeBob draws a doodle version of Sandy so they can go back to their own dimension.

SpongeBob and Patrick return to their own dimension, with Sandy's confusion, and the episode ends with the old coot claiming to her for giving back his nuts.

Production

The episode was confirmed by Vincent Waller on March 7, 2017.

Release

• This episode is available on the SpongeBob SquarePants Vol. 18 and The Complete Eleventh Season DVDs.

Trivia

General

• This is the first episode appearance of DoodleBob in the series since "Frankendoodle."
  • However, he has appeared in numerous video games and five books and one comic book such as Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition, Don't Pencil Me In!, and Stick Together!
• When the episode originally aired, it was paired with "Grandmum's the Word." On the next day, it was paired with "Fun-Sized Friends."
• This is one of the few episodes to have a "The End" card.
  • This is not the only episode in season 11 with a "The End" card. "Patnocchio," "ChefBob," and "Library Cards" also have one.
• In the Nintendo DS game and the online game based on "Frankendoodle," Doodle Patrick, Squid Doodle, Doodle Plankton, and the other doodles are DoodleBob's employees and best friends, but they are not seen or referenced in this episode.
• The old coot in the live-action segment is portrayed by co-showrunner Vincent Waller. However, he is uncredited.
• This episode marks the first usage of the following tracks:
  • "Gag 12" since "The Abrasive Side."
  • "Death Trap" since "To Save a Squirrel."
  • "Battle March Link (d)" since "Spongicus."
• When DoodleBob splits into multiple smaller copies of himself, he says "you Doodle," which is part of the line "you Doodle, me SpongeBob" from "Frankendoodle."

Episode references

• This episode contains several references to "Frankendoodle":
  • Instead of recording new audio for DoodleBob for this episode, archival recordings of Paul Tibbitt's DoodleBob lines from "Frankendoodle" are reused, and in some cases edited. Tibbitt himself was not called back to provide the voice again.
  • The title card track for this episode is the same as "Frankendoodle."
  • The way DoodleBob draws angry eyebrows before he charges at SpongeBob and Patrick is a callback to when he draws angry eyebrows before he chases SpongeBob with the magic pencil.
  • In both this episode and "Frankendoodle," they both involve a live-action pencil a character uses to draw doodles of various other characters or objects.
• The way SpongeBob and Patrick run through a blank dimension, only to end up right back where they started, is similar to how Squidward runs through Nowhere in "SB-129."
• The sound that is briefly heard when SpongeBob and Patrick are flying through the vortex is the same sound used for Mermaid Man and Barnicle Boy's time machine from "Back to the Past."
• The music that plays when SpongeBob and Patrick try to find an exit is the same as the one in "Squidward in Clarinetland" when Patrick plays the pinball game, marking its first usage since that episode.

Errors

• SpongeBob does not recognize DoodleBob upon Patrick drawing him, but refers to him as such once he begins terrorizing them.
• In various scenes, SpongeBob's writing shoe reappears and disappears either on his feet or him writing with it. After SpongeBob says, "Cover me!," he gives his shoe-pencil to Patrick.
  • Patrick never gave it back to him, and after DoodleBob ties a doodle rope around Patrick, SpongeBob's shoe-pencil is back on his left foot.
  • In the scene when Doodle Sandy draws a doodle vortex, SpongeBob's shoe-pencil disappears. But when SpongeBob and Patrick return to the treedome, SpongeBob's shoe is back on his foot.

SpongeBob's missing eyelashes.

• SpongeBob's eyelashes are missing when Patrick is jumping up and down while the mini-DoodleBobs are running all over him. They reappear when the mini-DoodleBobs are biting Patrick.
  • This error also occurred when SpongeBob says "Too slow, DoodleBob!"
• Old coot (portrayed by Vincent Waller) was uncredited, although he can be seen and spoken in that episode.
