Synopsis
Mr. Krabs creates a "promotion" to the Krusty Krab by selling Regular, Large and Viking Sized Drinks (which really are all the same size) in a bid to save the restaurant money, yet at the same time, to fool the customers into paying more money for the same size drink. He also states that whoever purchases a Viking Sized cup tries on a cardboard helmet (that he found in his attic) which is also a gimmick to obtain money. This gets SpongeBob interested in Vikings. Squidward then teaches him about Vikings, though nothing he said was true. Then SpongeBob sends a letter to the Vikings although it is immediately thrown out, as the letter doesn't have a valid address on it (SpongeBob wrote "To Vikings" with a heart).
Meanwhile, at the post office, a garbageman (who is a Viking) notices it and delivers the letter to the Viking Chief. He then sends his men to the Krusty Krab to teach them about the Vikings (which is redecorating, appropriating, and liberating) and they kidnap SpongeBob and Squidward. The Vikings bring SpongeBob and Squidward to their ship where they then introduce themselves as Gordon and a bunch of Olafs. SpongeBob then asks what they do for fun (which is just throwing a shield), then one says they like to sing songs, even though they actually don't. The Vikings proceed to make SpongeBob the head chef, and Squidward the bathroom attendant. Soon afterward, Squidward complains about the poor lifestyle, which results in the Vikings tying him to a catapult in an effort to launch him off of their ship. Soon, the Vikings discover that they have hit a rock and that their boat will leak, which gives SpongeBob an idea. He then plugs up the boat with his porous appearance, and saves the Vikings, claiming the events to be "a viking sized adventure."

Trivia
General
- The title card background for this episode is similar to "Pull Up a Barrel." The only difference is the thin metal is horizontal in this title card, while in "Pull Up a Barrel," it is vertical.
- This episode premiered as one of seven in the Super Stuffed Nicksgiving Weekend. Additionally, it premiered seven years before "Pull Up a Barrel" would premiere in Russia, and eight years before "Sold!" and "Lame and Fortune" would premiere in both Germany and Poland.
- This episode was available on the iTunes store before this episode aired, and it was paired with "Ditchin'" for just $1.99 the pair.
- SpongeBob mentions the episode title when he reads his note out loud.
- SpongeBob's letter:
- Dear Vikings, I am writing to ask you guys about your lives and stuff. If you had take the time to answer all my neat questions, then that would be really swell.
- In Germany, all the Vikings are called Olaf except Gordon, who is called Günther.
- List of facts about Vikings way of life:
- Like to redecorate (demolish things)
- Do appropriate things (steal loot)
- Liberate (take hostages)
- Fun activities:
- Shield toss
- Flaming shield toss
- SpongeBob should have already known about Vikings, because in the episode "Bubble Buddy," he celebrates Leif Erikson Day, meaning that "Bubble Buddy" takes place after this episode.
- There is also a reference to (an) Olaf in "Bubble Buddy," with one of the Krusty Krab menu items being Captain Olaf's Special Super Seaweed Shake.
Cultural references
- All the Vikings being named Olaf may be a reference to the Bruces sketch by Monty Python's Flying Circus.
- When the ship hits an iceberg and almost sank, it could be a reference of the real-life ship RMS Titanic which sank when it hit an iceberg on April 15, 1912.
Errors
- When SpongeBob said the cups were the same size, the regular size cup is slightly smaller.
- When Squidward is first shown, there are cobwebs on him. But later, there are no cobwebs on Squidward when he is shown again.
- During the scene where SpongeBob says "I'll let you know if I think of anything," his nose looks like Squidward's. When the camera switches then switches back to SpongeBob, his nose is normal again.
- When the ship hits the iceberg, the head fell off, but later, it is still there.
