Synopsis

The episode begins with Mr. Krabs making new business hours for the Krusty Krab until he sees that Plankton has the Chum Bucket open for 23 hours every day as part of his plan to get the formula. This prompts Mr. Krabs to keep the restaurant open 24/7.

Plankton calls Mr. Krabs using a fake name to order 10,000 Template:Data:Links so he can get SpongeBob's mind to crack from exhaustion and make him tell him the formula. Mr. Krabs gives the order to SpongeBob, but after 42 days of cooking, he starts cooking Krabby Patties the wrong way.

When Mr. Krabs comes to check up on SpongeBob, he sees his boss as a Krabby Patty, scaring him. When he goes outside, he visualizes everyone as killer Krabby Patties and starts panicking. When Mr. Krabs sees that SpongeBob is not right, he tells him he sho

​​​​​​​uld go to a psychiatrist.

At the same time, Plankton secretly gives a flier to SpongeBob to come to his place so he can get the formula, with him thinking he is a psychiatrist. He tries several methods, but fails to get SpongeBob to tell the formula.

Eventually, Plankton uses hypnosis to get the formula out of SpongeBob, but this ends up curing his phobia. He goes back to the Krusty Krab, where Mr. Krabs is now opening the Krusty Krab for 23 hours a day instead of 24.

Deleted scenes

On the storyboard featured on the Fear of a Krabby Patty DVD, Plankton is shown waiting for SpongeBob instead of him having to get him up immediately after sitting down. There was another one when a bunch of Krabby Patties from a cave bring SpongeBob to his bed after he gets eaten by a Krabby Patty in his dream. Yet again, SpongeBob says another "K-R-A-B-B-Y-P-A-T-T-Y says I" during the day/night montage. Also, SpongeBob talks to Krabby Patties more in the storyboard animation. Squidward having bags in his eyes was originally going to be the ending theme.

Trivia

General

  • The Krusty Krab was opened 24 hours a day, for 43 days, with no breaks.
    • This means that SpongeBob, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs stayed awake for an astounding 1,032 hours, which is logically impossible as they would have died from a severe case of sleep deprivation.
    • In the Russian dub, Squidward says they have been working for 48 days straight, meaning the Krusty Krew has been up for an even longer period, which is 1,152 hours.
  • The drive-thru that was installed in "Driven to Tears" is seen when Mr. Krabs announces Day 10 of non-stop service.
  • Old Man Walker breaks the fourth wall by asking why is he moving.
  • Plankton's eye seems to be much smaller in the last half of this episode, due to his beard.
  • Plankton is revealed to have a cell phone.
  • Irony: Plankton's last attempt to get SpongeBob to tell him the formula is hypnotizing him to sleep so he can subconsciously tell it to him, yet this is what cures his fear of Krabby Patties moments later.
  • Starting with this episode, the cast list in the end credits is listed separately for both segments instead of all together.
  • This is the first episode to be PAL Pitched in some countries.
  • This is Alan Smart's first episode as an animation director since the Template:Data:Links episode "Jellyfishing."
  • This is the first episode to have Paul Tibbitt as the showrunner and executive producer, replacing Stephen Hillenburg. Hillenburg later returned to the position in 2015, starting with the Template:Data:Links episode "Lost in Bikini Bottom," until his death.
  • This is the second episode where the Krusty Krab is open 24/7. The first is "Graveyard Shift." However, unlike in the aforementioned episode, Mr. Krabs stays at the restaurant with his employees and thus suffers from the same lack of sleep that they do.
  • This is C.H. Greenblatt's final episode on the show as a writer and storyboard director before leaving to create the show Chowder.
  • In the French dub, this episode is called "Ouverture Non-stop!," which translates to "Opening Non-stop!"
  • In the Polish dub, the episode's title is "Kraboburgerofobia," which translates to "Krabby Patty Phobia."
  • This episode was paired with "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm" during the Massive Monster Mayhem Marathon.

Cultural references

  • The episode's title card is similar to the start of the Heisei Godzilla movies.
  • When Plankton and SpongeBob say two different ways to say the words "potato" and "tomato," it is a reference to the song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" from the 1937 film Shall We Dance.
  • In SpongeBob's dream, the Krabby Patty tells him that he will always be with him in his arteries, a reference to the 1982 Universal Pictures movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, complete with the glowing finger.

Errors

  • Despite Robot Krabs saying that the Krusty Krab opens at 9:30am in "Imitation Krabs," Mr. Krabs' sign says that it opens at 6:00am.
  • In the Greek dub, in the beginning, Mr. Krabs says, "The Chum Bucket will open for 24 hours" instead of saying "The Krusty Krab will open for 24 hours." It was a mistake from the Greek voice actor.[citation needed]
    • In the Russian dub, Squidward says that they are working for 48 days instead of 43.
      • Also, when Mr. Krabs says that they are working for 15 days, the Russian dub says 10; 30 days instead of 23; 35 instead of 30.

  • When SpongeBob gets up from his trauma, his tie is missing and it reappears seconds later.
  • When SpongeBob sees killer Krabby Patties everywhere, the Chum Bucket across the street is gone in the window.
