Synopsis

The episode begins with SpongeBob and Squidward cleaning the Krusty Krab. Squidward finds an old Krabby Patty and tries to throw it away, but SpongeBob tells him all Krabby Patties should be wasted. He eats the patty, only to gag. When he goes outside, he meets a giant hamster named Cuddle E. Hugs and becomes friends with him.

SpongeBob and Cuddle E. Hugs do several activities until they go to SpongeBob's home to sleep. In the morning, Cuddle E. Hugs is gone, but when he eats the moldy Krabby Patty from earlier to make himself feel better, the hamster appears again. Afterwards, SpongeBob tries to show Cuddle E. Hugs to his friends, but nobody sees him as SpongeBob is hallucinating about the hamster.

Cuddle E. Hugs tells SpongeBob the secret that the moldy patty allowed him to see Hugs. He tells SpongeBob he should feed the moldy patty to the citizens of Bikini Bottom, so he goes to the Krusty Krab to sell tiny pieces of the moldy patty for free. After everyone eats it, they see Cuddle E. Hugs and start cuddling his soft fur.

However, he starts to eat all of them and when the citizens wake up the next morning, they are angry at SponegBob for doing this. SpongeBob eats the moldy Krabby Patty to ask Cuddle E. Hugs why he ate everyone. He says that he ate everyone as the E in his name stands for Eat. Thinking he's still hungry, SpongeBob makes Cuddle E. Hugs eat a leftover part of the moldy Krabby Patty, transporting him into a girl's bedroom in the surface world.

Production

Trivia

General

Sandy makes an imaginary rainbow like SpongeBob does in "Idiot Box" when he says "imagination."
The title is a pun on "cuddly hugs."
Gary and Squidward are the only characters in this episode who do not eat the moldy Krabby Patty.
The title is similar to "Stanley S. SquarePants," as both have a character's first and last name and their middle initial.
The Krusty Krab dumpster has a different design in this episode, as it is usually depicted as having a green top and bamboo edges, while in this episode it is entirely blue.
This is the first episode to use the APM track "Lonely Heart's Club (a)" since "Married to Money."
This is the fifth episode to feature a moldy Krabby Patty. The previous ones are "Nasty Patty," "The Algae's Always Greener," "Born Again Krabs," and "To Love a Patty."
This episode premiered six years after "Patrick's Staycation" premiered and SpongeBob's Surf & Skate Roadtrip was released.
The track "Borborygmus" is played eight times. This is the most an APM track has ever played in an episode.
- The track is a strong fit for this episode, as the actual definition of borborygmus is "a rumbling or gurgling noise made by the movement of fluid and gas in the intestines."
