Synopsis

File:Allergy Attack! 040.png

SpongeBob catches the allergy.

SpongeBob is prepared to cook his one millionth Krabby Patty, with a large audience spectating. Perch Perkins narrates the process, although Bubble Bass and Squidward are unenthused. After SpongeBob picks out a patty and puts it on the grill, he breaks out in a rash and sneezes. He tries to work through his allergies to finish the patty, but becomes so badly ill that the patty ends up messy and unsanitary. When he tries to serve it to Bubble Bass, he refuses to eat it, and the crowd leaves. Krabs kicks SpongeBob back home, where he suddenly notices that the rash is gone. He heads back to work, but suddenly swells up with allergies again. Since his allergies only activate when he is in the Krusty Krab, Squidward believes SpongeBob is allergic to Krabby Patties, and he sadly says goodbye to one.

A group of allergists want to help SpongeBob, but upon seeing how dangerous their methods are, Sandy interrupts and gives SpongeBob treatment herself. She gives him a giant, bulky suit to avoid patty particles. SpongeBob accidentally injures Squidward repeatedly when trying to operate the suit's arms. Krabs notices that SpongeBob is stuck in the suit, and he cannot get out, so he stays in the kitchen. Sandy brings him some of his items from home, including Gary.

All the customers getting allergies.

Several days later, SpongeBob has become accustomed to living in his suit. When Squidward serves Krabby Patties to the customers, they suddenly swell up with allergies. Believing they have the allergy to Krabby Patties as well, SpongeBob sucks them all up into his suit to keep them safe, which makes their symptoms disappear. Squidward gets Krabs' attention and they go into the kitchen, where Krabs suddenly gets a rash. SpongeBob sucks him into the suit, and the rash is cured.

SpongeBob wants to protect Squidward and tries to get him into the suit. Squidward then runs away, but slips on a Krabby Patty and SpongeBob captures him. Sandy arrives and asks SpongeBob if the customers are okay. Squidward is bothered by the smell and sprays some cologne into the suit, which triggers the allergies of everyone except Squidward. This makes Sandy realize they are truly allergic to Squidward's cologne and not Krabby Patties. Offended, Squidward denies this and sprays more cologne, but this causes everyone inside to swell up more, pushing the suit past capacity and making it burst.

Much later, SpongeBob is back to serving Krabby Patties as normal. Squidward is now behind the register in the protective suit. He sprays some cologne, but when he smells it, his head explodes.

Trivia

General

• This episode was originally titled as "Allergy Attack" before having an exclamation mark added.
• A clip of SpongeBob kissing Squidward was used in a SpongeBob Commercial Free Zone promo on Nicktoons.
• This episode was originally going to premiere at 5:00pm, but it was moved to 4:00pm.
• This will be the first episode from the franchise to premiere in the U.S. at 4:00pm (excluding "The SpongeBob SportsPants Countdown Special," which was a clip show.)
  • If the original airdate for "Pineapple RV" didn't get pulled, it would be the first episode to premiere in the U.S. at 4.00 pm.
• SpongeBob does not sneeze bubbles, unlike in "Suds".
• SpongeBob's allergies were a previous plot point of "Unreal Estate," where he thinks he is allergic to his pineapple house after Squidward infiltrated it and infested the home with pepper.
  • Coincidentally, in this episode, SpongeBob's allergies were also caused by Squidward due to his cologne, although this time Squidward didn't mean to.
• The title card background is similar to the one used in the season 4 episode "Squid Wood."
• The only characters not to get allergic in this episode are Gary and Sandy. Squidward is allergy-free for most of the episode, but at the end he eventually sneezes so hard from his cologne that his head explodes.
• The plot of this episode is similar to the season 4 episode "Fear of a Krabby Patty," as both episodes involve a problem related to Krabby Patties that occurs after SpongeBob cooks too many of them.
• Foreshadowing: there were several clues hinting it wasn't Krabby Patties causing the allergy.
  • When SpongeBob first gets his allergy, he doesn't start to break out in hives until Squidward sticks his head through the window.
  • When everyone in the restaurant starts to get the allergy themselves, they don't start reacting until Squidward walks past them.
• This is the first episode to use the track "Sad Sack Shanty" since "Married to Money" in season 9.
• Incidental 14's hot pink fin variant makes her comeback in this episode ever since her debut appearance in "Pickles."
• This episode's premiere, alongside the other three in its premiere week, will be simulcasted on Nicktoons.
• One of the incidentals' signs showing support for SpongeBob features the original sketch drawing of him found in the series' intro.
