Characters

Synopsis

While SpongeBob makes 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 inhales air. Right after Squidward finishes the triangle of cups, SpongeBob (full of air) looks to his left and exhales all of the air, which wrecks the cup pyramid. Miss Gristlepuss then enters, and is unhappy with what she sees, causing her and her organization to ban Krabby Patties.

Mr. Krabs causes the Krusty Krab to be closed by threatening Miss Gristlepuss with a French fry strainer and insulting her by calling her a disgusting old prune, not knowing her husband was the Police Chief. Meanwhile, Plankton at first thinks Mr. Krabs has changed the name to "The Closed Krab," but soon figures out he can take advantage of the moment and goes out to celebrate. Plankton soon discovers in surprise that the Krusty Krab has secretly been reopened at SpongeBob's Pineapple. Patrick, serving as a guard, asks Plankton for the password to enter, to which Plankton responds with a series of threats. Surprisingly enough, these threats constitute the password and Plankton is allowed in.

While Mr. Krabs scans to make sure the area is clear of cops, he goes to check on SpongeBob who is afraid of becoming arrested for making an illegal product. Mr. Krabs forces SpongeBob to work, threatening to make him take weekends off. Plankton discovers Mr. Krabs is doing his regular business "under the table" and calls the cops. In the blink of an eye, they arrive to clean up the Krabby Patties and arrest the employees.

However, Miss Gristlepuss trips and a Krabby Patty drops into her mouth, making her love the sandwich and forgive the Krusty Crew. Her decision is also influenced by the fact that her husband, Al the policeman, appears to love Krabby Patties as well despite their state of illegality. She decides not to send SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs to jail and unbans Krabby Patties, also deciding to reopen the Krusty Krab. Again, Plankton's plan has failed; he hides inside one of the Krabby Patties, only to be eaten by Miss Gristlepuss.

Production

The Viking hat that Mr. Krabs wears when he greets T.U.O.O.F.A.T.T.A.F.A.D. was originally going to have a joke surrounding it. It would have been something to do with whom Mr. Krabs expected to be on the bus.[1]

Andrea Martin's line were either recorded through the phone or in New York and was sent to Nickelodeon Animation Studio.[1] The commentary this information comes from is not very clear on which it was.

Al Priss' design was based off casting director, Maryanne Dacey's late brother-in-law, whom was also a cop. It is implied that he died sometime before the episode premiered.[1]

Pearl was originally going to sing at the Secret Krusty Krab.[1]

  • In the beginning, SpongeBob mentions how he sang the song 90 times. By the end, he sang the song 92 times.

  • The Galley Grub is not seen in the Secret Krusty Krab.
  • When SpongeBob is under his table, Mr. Krabs says that he will make SpongeBob take weekends off if he does not continue cooking Krabby Patties, but in "SB-129," he is off on Sunday, which is part of the weekend. Mr. Krabs must have meant the entire weekends.

Cultural references

  • Miss Gristlepuss' husband, Al Priss, strongly resembles Duke Nukem.
  • A banner in SpongeBob's house says "Keep it secret. Keep it safe." This is a reference to a line said by Gandalf the Grey in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
  • The scene where Plankton has to guess the password is based off a gag done by the Marx Brothers did, where they would make someone guess the password, which was "Swordfish."[1]
  • The scene where Squidward says "Do you want to 'Secret Size' that for two dollars more?" is a parody of McDonald's and their policy of allowing their customers to 'Super Size' their meal for more money.
  • The episode is heavily based off the Prohibition era in American History,[1] which was a time when alcohol was illegal in America. The references are:
    • The banning of Krabby Patties is similar to the outlawing of alcohol
    • The Secret Krusty Krab is a references to Speakeasies, which were a place where people would secretly get alcohol.[1]
    • The raid towards the end of the episode is a reference to the raids of speakeasies.[1]

Errors

  • In reality, Miss Gristlepuss has no power of closing down the Krusty Krab and banning Krabby Patties just for the reason of it being "fun and delicious", even if her husband is the chief of police. They must have a better reason, like it being poisonous would be a reason for it getting banned. But if the previous is true, and the Krusty Krab is still closed down, they can be arrested for false accusations.
  • Even though she calls herself Miss. Gristlepuss, she should be called Mrs. Gristlepuss, because she is married.
  • The police cannot make a food illegal, as the police only enforce the law. It is the government that makes the laws. And even then it would take some time to get it passed (if it is even passed). While here, it only took one day to pass.
  • Squidward's house is not shown when the police arrive at SpongeBob's house.
  • If one were selling an illegal product in secret, it would be a dead-give away with a banner at the location in plain view.
  • Mr. Krabs' and SpongeBob's hands were cuffed in front of them, when it should have been behind them.
  • In the end credits and TV guide description, Miss Gristlepuss is mistakenly called "Miss Priss."
  • When SpongeBob had first started singing, there were four patties on the grill, later, there were eight.
  • Towards the end of SpongeBob's self inflation, the two spatulas he was gripping disappear.
  • When Mr. Krabs went to the cash register to Squidward for joking at Miss Gristlepuss and her sisters, he was standing behind the boat and his body was overlapping the cash register part.
  • When Mr. Krabs is seen greeting Miss Gristlepuss, the Krusty Krab door handles are blue instead of yellow.
  • Miss Gristlepuss blows her whistle and lets go, the black lanyard and whistle ends at her chest. But when the next scene cuts in her whistle is connected to the thread of her shirt without the black lanyard.
  • When Miss Gristlepuss meets Mr. Krabs, his belt was missing. In the next shot, he is wearing his belt.
  • On American airings, after Mr. Krabs meets Miss Gristlepuss, the closed-captions say "Mr. Grabs" instead of "Mr. Krabs."
  • When Mr. Krabs screams, "I'm ruined!," his eyelashes are gone.
  • When Plankton looks out his window to see the Krusty Krab, the road following to the Chum Bucket doors aren't there.
  • When Plankton asked Harold and Nat what was going on, he was wearing a suit. When he went up to SpongeBob's door and talked to Patrick, his suit was gone. It's possible Plankton took off his suit off-screen.
  • When the police are breaking into SpongeBob's house, Plankton is briefly seen hiding under a Krabby Patty. It is unknown why Plankton did not steal the Krabby Patty like usual.
    • It is possible that because the Krabby Patties were illegal, he did not want to steal it because he would have gotten arrested for selling them.
  • The Krabby Patty Plankton is seen hiding under has no seeds, unlike the other Krabby Patties.
  • When the Secret Krusty Krab was found by cops, SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs are handcuffed, but when Miss Gristlepuss accidentally falls down and eats a Krabby Patty, they are not handcuffed. Later, Mr. Krabs appears handcuffed again.
