Crush County
Template:LTab Template:Location Crush County is a place located deep within the bottom of the ocean. It makes an appearance in "Squid's on a Bus."
Description
It is a large area with a small city and several geysers. The area is located 80,000,043 fathoms below the ocean's surface, and the pressure found at that depth causes everything to be crushed into a flattened state, hence the name. Several signs that are littered about warn of the massive pressure.
Role in episode
Template:Data:Links, Template:Data:Links, and Template:Data:Links end up at the county by crashing their bus through the end of a freeway and falling down to it. The pressure found within the county start to compress them, and Squidward tries to drive out to safety. After a close encounter with the Grim Reaper, SpongeBob tries to help Squidward find his way by unfolding a large map. This causes Squidward to drive into one of the many geysers, launching the bus and everyone on it to the Krusty Krab.
