| ==Plot==
| |
| At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob reminds Squidward that today is the beginning of judging for the Employee of the Month Award. However, Squidward tells SpongeBob that the award is a scam, and Mr. Krabs is only giving it to him so he'll work harder for less money, but SpongeBob doesn't believe him. Mr. Krabs warns SpongeBob that Squidward might get the new Employee of the Month Award, and since SpongeBob has 26 consecutive awards (and wants a 27th), he starts worrying. Squidward says that he could get the award if he wanted to, and SpongeBob asks him to prove it.
| |
| | |
| After they both decide that they will arrive at the Krusty Krab earlier than the other; that night, SpongeBob tries to destroy Squidward's alarm clock so he won't wake up, but Squidward has 28 more in his closet. They both set several traps for each other as they both desperatly try to reach the Krusty Krab first, and, after a temporary truce, both get there at the same time, just as Mr. Krabs opens the doors. They begin overworking in an attempt to impress him, doing more harm than good in the process. They then begin trying to make as many Krabby Patties as possible, eventually causing the Krusty Krab to explode. Krabby Patties rain down from the sky, to the delight of the citizens of Bikini Bottom, and while Mr. Krabs tries to makes the people pay for them, SpongeBob and Squidward ask him who is the Employee of the Month.

| ==Trivia/Goofs==
| |
| *There is a PC game called Employe of the Month which has the same name as this episode.
| |
| *SpongeBob imagines a drill sergeant version of himself in one of his Employee of the Month pictures, who demands him to work as hard as possible so that Squidward does not win. He appears in the March picture, a reference to an army march.
| |
| *The drill sergeant design of SpongeBob is the same design as the design on the cover of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants:Battle for Bikini Bottom|SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom]].''
| |
| *SpongeBob says that he has won the Employee of the Month award 26 times in a row, which means that if he had gotten his first within his first month of working, he has been working at the [[Krusty Krab]] for at least 2 years and 2 months. Also, this episode aired in the same year as [[Help Wanted]].
| |
| *When Squidward and Spongebob barge into the Krusty Krab, the handlebars on the door are clear instead of gold.
| |
| *When SpongeBob sneaks into Squidward's house, all of Squidward's furniture is in the room. But while SpongeBob is running back and forth from the closet with the clocks in it, the room is empty.
| |
| *10th time Patrick doesn't appear.
| |
| *This episode marks the first and one of the few times SpongeBob had any anger or tension towards Squidward.
| |
| *SpongeBob's calendar said it was "[[March]]" but on the picture frame it said it was [[January]]. Also, the calender had 28 as the last day of the month, meaning it must have been February.
| |
| *This Is The 25th single episode.
| |
| *10th episode with its title in it.
| |
| *SpongeBob's employee of the month portraits will again talk to SpongeBob in "[[The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie]]".
| |
| *'''Running Gag:''' Squidward yelling "baloney" then getting drenched with Krabby Patty puree.
| |
| *This is the 1st time that Krusty Krabs is damaged or destroyed. It's repeated in "Suds", "Texas", "Dying for Pie", "Squid on Strike", "Just One Bite", "Skill Crane", "Selling Out", "Spy Buddies", "The Krusty Plate", "Pat No Pay", "20,000 Patties Under The Sea", "The Battle of Bikini Bottom", "Gone", "Slide Whistle Stooges"...
| |
| | |
| ==[[List of errors in Spongebob continuity|Errors]]==
| |
| *Even though [[Spongebob]] says that he won Employee of the Month for 26 months, there are actually 43 frames.
| |
| *When [[Spongebob]] goes to [[Squidward]]'s closet it is filled with alarm clocks. In the next scene, he is breaking them, the others disappear, and is seen breaking one clock.
| |
| *When [[Spongebob]] is crying "How could the quality of my work slip so much?", the frame on the picture of [[Squidward]] says "January". But the frame before it said "Februrary", then changes back to December.
