Template:OTab Template:Object Anchor Arms are a pair of inflatable, muscular arm-shaped balloons that SpongeBob uses on his arms in the episode "MuscleBob BuffPants."
Description
The settings are as follows:
- Strong
- Veiny
- Hairy (for the ladies)
The levels of air pressure are as follows:
- Normal (Green Zone)
- Strong (Yellow Zone)
- Super (Orange Zone)
- Jerk (Red Zone—Never inflate to this level as it will cause over-inflation. SpongeBob blows them to this level as he's struggling against the anchor lifting, causing them to explode)
Role in the series
MuscleBob BuffPants
SpongeBob notices that he is very weak compared to Sandy and she offers to give him exercise training. After failing at it, SpongeBob goes home with painful arms. He lies in his arm, when a commercial on TV starts. Donald the Shark tells the audience why to buy the product. SpongeBob is then convinced and buys some. He goes to Goo Lagoon to show off his fake muscles. He convinces everyone, including Sandy. Thinking that he is really strong, she signs them up for an Anchor Toss competition. When it is SpongeBob's turn to go, the Anchor Arms start to broke down due to SpongeBob overinflated them while struggling to lift the anchor (even the Arms can be seen over-stretching). Eventually, they popped and deflate, revealing that the muscles are just fake.
Battle for Bikini Bottom
A variant of the anchor arms is used to repair SpongeBot SteelPants, after the real SpongeBob temporarily destroys him.
