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.
In the credits, Mrs. Gristlepuss 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. Gristlepuss meets Mr.Krabs, his belt is missing but the next shot, he was wearing his belt.
Spongebob has a fear of breaking the law.
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 sqiudward 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 Haight of San Francisco in the 80's
Mrs. Gristlepuss's husband strongly resembles Duke Nukem.
This is the 100th episode in the series.
Ms. Gristlepuss may be based off Ms. Hubbard from the adult cartoon "The Oblongs...".
Miss Gristlepuss is voiced by SCTV alumna Andrea Martin.
