Plot

While SpongeBob is making Krabby Patties, he sings a song about how much he loves them, but stops in the middle and while Squidward is stacking cups (in the form of a triangle) he yells the rest of the song out loud, causing Krabby Patties to be banned and Mr. Krabs causes the Krusty Krab to be closed by threatening Miss GristlePuss. Meanwhile, Plankton at first thinks Mr. Krabs changed the name to "Closed Krab," but soon figured out he could take advantage of the moment. Template:MTranscript

Trivia/Goofs

• This is the third time where the episode ends when "The End" is shown. The first two were I Had an Accident and Wishing You Well.
• She says her name is Miss Gretel Puss, but SpongeBob, Squidward, Karen, and Mr. Krabs call her "Miss Gristlepuss"
• In the credits, Mrs. Gretel Puss is called 'Miss Priss'.
• This episode was set to premiere with "The Battle of Bikini Bottom" but aired with "Stanley S. SquarePants" instead.
• When Mrs. Gretel Puss meets Mr. Krabs, his belt is missing but the next shot, he was wearing his belt.
• SpongeBob has a fear of breaking the law.
• When SpongeBob is under his table, Mr. Krabs says he'll make SpongeBob take weekends off if he doesn't continue cooking Krabby Patties, but in SB-129, he is off on Sunday, which is the weekend. Mr. Krabs must have meant the ENTIRE weekends.
• The episode alludes to the Prohibition Era, with the Krabby patties representing alcohol and the secret Krusty Krab representing a Speakeasy.
• A banner in SpongeBob's house says "Keep it secret. Keep it safe." This is a reference to a line said in The Lord of the Rings- The Fellowship of the Ring.
• When Squidward said "Do you want to 'Secret Size' that for $2 more" is a parody of McDonalds and their policy of allowing their customers to 'Super Size' their meal for more money.
• The lines "...said this ninety times", "you are a nuisance to my community", and "cops I need you" are are references to the Shut Up Little Man recordings, A set of recordings of drunken neighbors made in the lower Height of San Francisco in the 80's
• Mrs. Gretel Puss's husband strongly resembles Duke Nukem.
• Also, Miss Gretel Puss's husband say "Hello, This is Al G.", Which sounds like algae.
• This is the 100th episode in the series.
• Ms. Gretel Puss may be based off Ms. Hubbard from the adult cartoon "The Oblongs...".
• Miss Gretel Puss is voiced by SCTV alumna Andrea Martin.
• Mr. Krabs calls the cash register "Betsy" in this episode, but in SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One he calls it "Cashy"
• If one was selling an illegal product in secret, it would be a dead-give away with a banner at the location in plan view.
• Even though she calls herself Miss Gretel Puss, she should be called Mrs. Gretel Puss, because she's married.
• In one scene Mr. Krabs calls Squidward "Squidwart", to which he responds, "Did you just call me Squidwart"? This may be a reference to the Krusty Sponge when SpongeBob says "Like the time Squidward had that mole removed?"
• When SpongeBob is singing his song about Krabby Patties, the patties on the stove dissapear.
• When The Secret Krusty Krab is found by cops and then SpongeBob and Mr.Krabs are handcuffed but when Mrs.Gritle Puss accidentally falls down and eats a Krabby Patty their handcuffs disappear.
