Synopsis

The episode begins as Squidward happily hums to himself while gleefully tossing out newspapers to his customers. Everybody seems to love the cephalopod, with even a neighborhood guard worm approaching him and surprisingly acting extremely friendly. All seems to be well, until he encounters Cecil Star, who snatches a paper without paying money and trips him up so much to the point where his limbs fall apart. Template:Section-expand

Trivia

General

This episode was originally going to be titled "Payback's a Squid."
- Similar to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Moving Bubble Bass," the original title was most likely changed due to containing an innuendo.
This episode was originally scheduled to premiere on Friday, November 11, 2022 in the United States at 7:00 PM,^[2]^[3] but it instead briefly got replaced with the premiere of the Monster High episode "Witch Hitch"^[4] before being replaced again with the premiere of the 2016 Illumination Studios movie The Secret Life of Pets.^[5]^[6] The episode was then postponed for a second time, originally being scheduled to premiere on Friday, February 17, 2023 in the United States at 7:00 PM, but it was replaced again with the premiere of "Host-a-Palooza."^[2]^[7]
In Canada, this episode was also originally going to air on February 25, 2023, but was later postponed, and got replaced with a rerun of "The Yard Sale."
This segment establishes that Granny Tentacles and GrandPat are in a relationship, quietly telling their relatives (Squidward and Cecil) that they are dating while planning warfare against each other.
The newspaper comic strip that Squidina reads at the end of the episode is nearly identical to the near-opening of it.
The episode's writer, Doug Lawrence, is listed as the author of the comic strip Mr. Star and the Paper Boy under his Mr. Lawrence name.
This episode marks the first time the Realistic Fish Head physically appears (as opposed to being on a TV screen) and directly interacts with characters.

Episode references

Squidward saying, "Ya-ta-ta-ta" references the episodes "Who R Zoo?" and "Under the Small Top," where Squidward does the exact same singing while going outside and making cereal, respectively.
Walls identical to the ones in the SpongeBob episode "Wallhalla" can be seen when Cecil uses them to hide from Squidward and Granny Tentacles.
