Characters

Synopsis

The episode opens with a sitcom-style intro for The Patrick Show. After, SpongeBob and Patrick walk downtown, questioning what to do for the day. SpongeBob suggests they cheer up a senior and comes to Shady Shoals Rest Home with a bouquet and letter. Patrick promptly throws them in the garbage and leaves to find something to eat, disappointing the old man. After looking around, SpongeBob suggests the Krusty Krab. Patrick's view is blocked by a kid with a balloon, so he decides to visit the Chum Bucket instead.

Patrick orders and devours a giant amount of chum. Afterwards, he notices that Plankton forgot his second order of chum fries, and rampages around the restaurant. SpongeBob suggests they check the kitchen, but they see Plankton pouring a poisonous substance into a batch of chum, with dead bodies around it. They leave in horror, only for it to be revealed that Plankton is using cleaning solution to unclog a sink, and the fish are actually mannequins that Karen owns.

Patrick's bucket list.

Mistakenly believing that Patrick has eaten poisoned chum, SpongeBob wants to take him to the doctor. That turns out to be the last item on Patrick's bucket list, and he has a list of things he dreamed about doing first. After checking off the first four items, which he had accomplished earlier in the day, he goes with SpongeBob to fight a robot. Sandy's robot effortlessly beats Patrick. He spits out his bucket, and after deliriously completing his "struggle to make sense" task, moves onto the next one: scaling the tallest building in Bikini Bottom.

SpongeBob climbs the building with plungers as Patrick gets dragged behind. When Patrick stops in the building to buy one of Plankton's chum dogs, the rope stretches and sends Patrick smashing into SpongeBob, landing them both on top of the building. SpongeBob plants the flag, only for Patrick to notice a slightly taller building next to them. SpongeBob screams in exasperation, the sheer volume pushing the building into the neighboring Seaweed City.

Patrick tells his audience that he is nearing death.

Patrick accomplishes his next few tasks: winning a gold medal by stealing one from an awards ceremony, singing on Broadway and getting squashed in the process, seeing a sunset by watching a billboard in front of a toxic waste dump, and skydiving. After they survive, Patrick's last goal before the doctor is to give the performance of a lifetime on his show. He sets up a giant obstacle course and rides it down. Afterwards, Patrick dramatically shares the news to the audience that he is about to die.

Squidina suddenly notices that Patrick has something stuck in his teeth. She picks it out, and it turns out to be the entirety of the chum he ate earlier that day, which splatters all over town. While enthusiastic at the news, Patrick suddenly realizes he is hungry and eats another bucket of chum, poisoning him. SpongeBob takes him to the doctor, where it is revealed that while the Plankton did not poison the chum, it contains dangerous bacteria anyways. Patrick has a cone put over his head to prevent him from eating more chum.

SpongeBob thanks the doctor, but sees that Patrick has disappeared. He runs off to the Chum Bucket, ordering Plankton to fill his cone with chum, to which Plankton complies. SpongeBob takes out his own bucket list, the only item on it being to save Patrick's life.

Trivia

General

  • This episode was originally titled "The Chum Bucket List," and its working title was "PatrickShowCHUMBUCKETLIST."[1]
  • When SpongeBob and Patrick are walking downtown, storyboards show he was originally going to say "I'm tellin' ya, Patrick, the whole day is our oyster!"[1]
  • This episode's title is a pun on the phrase "the bucket list," which is term that refers to a list of things where someone tries to make achievements in their life.
  • Despite being copywritten in 2024, this episode was produced, completed, and released in Australia and New Zealand in 2023.
  • This episode breaks the fourth wall twice:
    • Patrick rips through multiple outfits to get ready for his fight, from a tutu, to a recreation of the episode's storyboard, to the track recording script.
    • When SpongeBob tells Patrick if they can go to the doctor after he puts on the show of a lifetime, Patrick replies, "I don't know. Let's see how much screentime this gag takes up first." During his sentence, the scene zooms in to reveal a black background with a duration time, as well as the episode's production code and the scene number.
  • Patrick's pitched up voice during the scene where he orders chum is similar to his Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years voice at certain points.
  • The "World of Friendship" montage reuses backgrounds from earlier episodes:
    • The ice cream background is taken from "Enemies à la Mode," during the scene after Patrick tastes his first ice cream.
    • The lawn background when SpongeBob and Patrick are jellyfishing was previously used in "Patrick's Alley."
    • The S.S. Super Minnow background is taken from a scene in "Terror at 20,000 Leagues" where Quasar runs from the alien invader.
    • For the scene of SpongeBob and Patrick watching a movie, the background used is from the theater in Cecil's RV in "Survivoring." In this episode, it is recolored to be daytime and horizontally flipped.
  • When Patrick says that he can cross off the first three items off his list, he is seen crossing off four.
