Characters

Synopsis

During the evening at the Krusty Krab, Squidward is sleeping at the cash register until his clock starts ringing, which causes him to wake up and stop it with his hand. Squidward then pokes his head in the kitchen window and tells SpongeBob to go home since it is quitting time. However, SpongeBob is obliviously not paying attention to anything as he cooks a Krabby Patty, but his watch beeps immediately and he notices that it is quitting time. He then sees Squidward and asks him why he is still here, making Squidward run out of the Krusty Krab screaming. Still in the kitchen, SpongeBob does not want to throw away the patty, so he puts it in his wallet and saves it for later. He then smells garbage and decides to take out the trash, but while dumping it in the dumpster, SpongeBob notices a book covered in garbage and claims that no one should throw away books. Suddenly, SpongeBob sees a big green slimy monster emerging from the dumpster. He then throws the book at it, causing the slimy monster to fall over and the slime to dissolve, revealing that it was actually Sandy. Sandy states that she is was just trying to break the record for rooting around in a trash bin, showing SpongeBob that the book he was holding is called The Guinness O'Ripley Enormous Book of Curiosities, Oddities, and World Records. She then shows SpongeBob some of the world records in the book and vows to beat every single record in the book.

The scene cuts to Sandy's treedome, where SpongeBob and Sandy try to break the record for world's longest tongue. Sandy holds her hand on her door while SpongeBob pulls on Sandy's tongue, and the record is broken after the tongue is stretched up to 110 inches. The next record is to eat raw chum, so SpongeBob and Sandy go to the Chum Bucket and ask Plankton to give them raw chum. Plankton, however, warns them that no one can ingest raw chum and survive, but SpongeBob and Sandy do not care, mentioning that the current record holder survived for 30 seconds. Later in Sandy's Treedome, SpongeBob wears a special germ suit and feeds Sandy a spoon of raw chum, causing her to freak out; she is informed by SpongeBob that she survived over 30 seconds and broke the record. However, Sandy suddenly becomes unconscious, so SpongeBob helps revive her by feeding her the patty that he saved in his wallet earlier. Sandy finally recovers and says that she can't wait to show the photos of the records she broke, but SpongeBob suddenly realizes that he forgot his camera, so he goes home to get it.

When SpongeBob returns, he sees Sandy's treedome filled with a bunch of robots setting up a lot of things. Sandy comes up to SpongeBob and asks to take a picture of her throwing a woodchuck to break the woodchuck chuckin' world record. SpongeBob takes the photo as she breaks the record with 100 woodchucks chucked, as all the woodchucks are then sent back to where they belong. Afterward, Sandy explains to SpongeBob that she has decided to scientifically come up with a way to complete the maximum number of records broken in the least amount of time, saying that she can do it with careful planning and precise delegation of appropriate tasks. She asks for the book from a robot, grabs the picture of her woodchuck chuckin' from SpongeBob, and puts the picture on the appropriate page. Sandy flips the page to see what the next record is, which the world's longest tooth. A robot gives Sandy the calcium infusion she needs for the record, as she administers the shot, causing her tooth to grow until she hits her head on the ceiling of the treedome. The robot uses a tape measure and reaches 35 feet, which breaks the record, and SpongeBob takes a picture of the accomplishment. Sandy then saws off the long pat of her tooth and slides down.

The next record is spiciest chili gargle, so Sandy gargles on chili as SpongeBob takes a picture before she swallows it (but not before the chili causes her to breathe fire on SpongeBob). The next record is largest rubber band ball, which SpongeBob takes a picture of as Sandy lets go, leading the ball to crush him. The record after that is most cobras milked, where SpongeBob takes a picture of Sandy milking the cobras before two of them choke him. After that, the next record is most walnuts in mouth, so Sandy gets a lot of walnuts in her mouth, before SpongeBob places one more and she spits them out on him. After that record, the next one is most chainsaws juggled, so Sandy does this with robots giving her more to juggle. SpongeBob takes a picture of her juggling the chainsaws and asks how she can stop; to answer his question, Sandy throws the chainsaws aside and runs away, but, SpongeBob accidentally gets cut into pieces because he ran the wrong way.

After SpongeBob puts himself back together and says that this is getting dangerous, Sandy then takes him and herself outside the treedome and shows him the world's largest house of cards. They go up to the top of the house of cards so that they can take a picture. Meanwhile, Patrick is walking along until he sees that the house of cards is made with Solitaire cards, as he grabs a baseball bat and hits the house, causing it to collapse as SpongeBob and Sandy fall from the top. Thereupon, SpongeBob tells Sandy that he can smell Gary's sandbox and goes home to clean it.

The scene changes to SpongeBob's house, where SpongeBob is cleaning Gary's litter box. While cleaning the litter box, SpongeBob tells Gary that he has broken the record for "World's Stinkiest Litter box." He finds that Sandy has become obsessed with the record book and claims that the book must be destroyed. Therefore, he goes back to Sandy's treedome and disguises himself as one of Sandy's robots so he looks like the rest of them. He then asks one of the robots if he can hold on to the record book, and it gives the book to him. After that, Sandy does not recognize SpongeBob's robot disguise, and she puts him into a line where robots are getting destroyed to break the record for most robots built and destroyed in a day. While the robots are getting built and destroyed, a robot standing next to Sandy is counting the total amount of destroyed robots in order to break the world record. In the line of robots getting crushed, SpongeBob tries to sneak out, but one robot grabs him, and they both get crushed and sent though the conveyor belt, as Sandy finally breaks the most robots built and destroyed in a day. One of the robots comes out the machine and says his stomach feels funny, so Sandy looks inside and sees SpongeBob, who is puked out by the robot

SpongeBob states he came to save Sandy from the record book, but she tells him she is done with it and has beaten every record. The author of the book comes to see what Sandy has done but reveals that she has not actually broken any records, and that is because the book was published three decades ago, so all the records in it had already been broken (several times over probably). However, the author adds that SpongeBob has set a new record: most injuries sustained from helping a friend. As Sandy congratulates SpongeBob, he cracks into pieces, and the author takes a picture of him, ending the episode.

Trivia

General

  • Accoording to the defunct German site SpongeNews, this episode was originally packaged as 180b,[4] but was moved ahead to 179b.
  • According to this episode's production number, (325-901) this was the first episode of season 9 in production order, and the first to begin production with the permanent 16:9 aspect ratio (not counting special episodes like "Truth or Square" or "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!").
  • The huge bucket of raw chum has the biohazard symbol on it. This means that the raw chum is a threat to health.
  • It is revealed that Sandy has 100 woodchuck cousins, with one named Earl.
    • Earl is a woodchuck, also known as groundhogs, which are a type of ground squirrel.
    • Fittingly, the track "Earls Revenge" plays at the same time when Sandy refers to Earl by name.
  • The way SpongeBob is sliced by the chainsaws slightly resembles his sliced body as shown in the theme song.
  • All of the "Hot Steel and Slide Licks" are low-pitched in some way in this episode.
  • This episode marks the first instance of Plankton having a customer by selling chum without any assistance.
  • A clip from this episode was used during Nicktoons bumpers in 2013.[5]
  • This is the second episode where someone plays Solitaire. The first was "Bucket Sweet Bucket," in which it is played by SpongeBob on the computer of Karen, but in this episode, it is revealed how Patrick plays Solitaire.
  • This is the second episode where Sandy's robots are seen, with the first being "House Sittin' for Sandy."
    • However, in this episode, the robots roll on wheels instead of walking.
  • There is an online game based on this episode called Guinness O'Ripley's Extreme Arcade of World Records.
  • This episode marks one of few times an allusion to a real brand is used with the title of the book used throughout the episode.

Cultural references

Errors

  • When SpongeBob puts a patty in his wallet, his milkshake license is seen, but in the next scene, when SpongeBob takes out the patty after Sandy had raw chum, it has a picture of a cowboy saying "Yee Haw!"
  • When SpongeBob measures Sandy's tongue, he falls and his sleeves, arms, and camera are shown outside his water helmet after, but in the next scene, they are inside his helmet.
  • In an advertisement for this episode, it says Sandy and SpongeBob perform the "125-yard tongue pull."
    • However, on Sandy's tongue it shows inches, not yards.
  • Although Sandy's treedome does not have water in it, when SpongeBob pulls the Krabby Patty out of his wallet to revive Sandy, there are bubbles that appear courtesy of his hand in motion.
  • SpongeBob leaves his helmet inside the treedome when he leaves to get his camera, but is shown running back with it on again outside the treedome.
    • It could be that he got some in his house and decided to use one of these.
  • The world record pages from The Guinness O'Ripley Enormous Book of Curiosities, Oddities, and World Records have the persons' names that they were responsible for what record they hold, but in the next scenes when Sandy places the picture in into the record pages when she beat, the names are missing.
  • SpongeBob tells Sandy that he smells Gary's sandbox, but when he is talking to Gary, he calls it his litter box.
  • After SpongeBob is crushed by the machine, he is somehow able to survive inside Sandy's treedome without wearing a water helmet for the rest of the episode.
  • SpongeBob backs up from the dumpster and mouths "Trash monster!" However, no audio is heard.
    • However, the line is actually heard in DVD and digital releases, along with the Nick+ version and other dubs.
      • Tom Kenny confirmed he recorded the line, but on TV, there was a small malfunction that caused the line to be muted on TV airings.
  • When SpongeBob finds the record book in the dumpster, he takes off his mask and throws it on the ground. But when he is backing up from the dumpster, the mask is not visible on the ground.
