Plot[]
When SpongeBob catches a rare jellyfish in Fancyland, it gives Mr. Krabs a shady idea to sell jellyfish to the black market.
Synopsis[]
SpongeBob is grabbing Ol’ Reliable from his closet.
“Ol’ Reliable, the most reliable net I've ever had,” he says. “Catching jellyfish for 21 years and counting.”
He goes outside, and starts skipping happily.
“Hey, Squidward!” SpongeBob yells.
“No.”
“Darn. Maybe tomorrow.”
SpongeBob continues skipping happily until he sees a patch of grass.
“That reminds me of…” SpongeBob looks ahead to see a whole new land with jellyfish.
“JELLYFISH FIELDS!”
He rushes towards the fields and sees a variety of jellyfish, including:
“Pink jellyfish, blue jellyfish, orange jellyfish, twin jellyfish, and sea bears, oh my!”
A sea bear roars at SpongeBob, but this doesn’t intimidate him. The sea bear retreats to his cave, and SpongeBob sneakily follows. When inside the cave, SpongeBob sees something glow green in the distance. He takes a few squeaky steps forward, and sees a:
“Glowing Green Jellymongerer! I’ve never seen one in person before!”
SpongeBob pulls a jellyfish jar out of his pocket, sneaks up behind the jellyfish, and puts it in the jar. The jellyfish glows brighter in the jar.
“This’ll make a good light source back at home. No amount of money can fix that darn lantern in my bedroom,” SpongeBob says. “Believe me, I've tried.”
Cut to SpongeBob’s broken lantern in his bedroom. The room is so dark that even Gary cowers in fear during the day. Gary is currently scared of a sea spider that has crawled its way up to the bedroom.
Cut to SpongeBob opening up the door to his pineapple home.
“Gary, I’m home!” he calls.
Gary sighs in relief as he hears SpongeBob’s footsteps. SpongeBob pushes the broken lantern out of the way and puts the jellyfish jar in its place.
“I’ll have to give you a new name. Hmm… Glowy!”
Glowy buzzes and glows brighter than before.
“Let's shake hands, buddy,” SpongeBob says. He opens the jar, and lets Glowy “shake” (sting) his hand. He then closes the jar.
Zee next day…
At the golden Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs is pacing back and forth with a whip in his hand.
“Monthly inspection time, folks!” he announces.
“Oh boy, the inspection!” SpongeBob says excitedly.
“Whoopee…” Squidward says unenthusiastically.
Krabs goes over to Squidward and sniffs him.
“For once you actually smell fine. What's yer secret?” Krabs asks.
“That sir is the smell of an existential crisis,” Squidward responds.
“Ohhkay then... Now time for me golden boy.”
Krabs sniffs SpongeBob, and winces in disgust. He notices that there is a sticky green substance on his right hand.
“What in Neptune’s name is that green stuff? Money?” Krabs says.
SpongeBob laughs. “No, it's just goop from my new jellyfish. Her name is Glowy.”
“That brings up more questions than answers,” Squidward says. “How do you even know its gender?”
“Hush, Mr. Squidward,” Krabs says. “Let me speak to the boy meself.”
“What do you want from me, sir?” SpongeBob asks.
“Where did ya get that jellyfish?” Krabs demands.
“Oh, near Finch Street. Simple. There's a big grass plain there.”
“Perfect.”
Krabs walks back into his office while SpongeBob scratches his head.
“You have no idea what just happened, did you?” Squidward says.
“Nope,” SpongeBob replies.
Krabs is in his office, crafting something. He hammers away at his gold bars until it resembles a giant jellyfishing net.
“Ol’ Profitable, don't let me down,” Krabs says.
Krabs walks out of his office, and is approached by the sponge.
“What're you doing with that giant net, boss man?” SpongeBob asks curiously.
“Just going on a jellyfish spree, that’s all, boy,” Krabs answers. “Maybe make some money.”
“Mr. Krabs, you have all the money you could ever desire. Why would you want more?”
“You can NEVER have enough money, me boy! Never!”
Krabs walks out of the Krusty Krab heartily laughing. SpongeBob scratches his head again while Squidward gives him a glare.
Mr. Krabs approaches a sign that says “Fancyfish Fields”.
“‘Fancyfish Fields’. How original,” Krabs remarks sarcastically. He walks onto the grass, and instantly sees several types of jellyfish.
“Holy Poseidon, that's a lot of profits!” Krabs exclaims.
Krabs is seen catching several pink, blue, and even purple jellyfish. He catches 69 in total before stopping.
“Wow, nice number there,” he says to himself as he chuckles. “Okay, no more acting like a 12-year-old. Gotta sell these jellyfish back at the Krusty Krab.
Cut to the Krusty Krab, where Krabs has set up a jellyfish stand.
“You know we can buy whatever we want, right?” a rich fish says.
Krabs’ face goes pale as he hides the stand with his claws, then destroys the stand.
A few hours later, Krabs is seen drawing a new plan in his office. A crudely drawn image of him holding jars of jellyfish and giving them to a shady person is seen. Krabs is also mumbling to himself about the black market. After some time, he puts down his pencil and looks at his plans.
“Perfect,” he says to himself. “If I can't get money from greedy customers around here, I'll just have to sell the jellyfish to people in the black market.”
He then hears a knock on his office door. Krabs swiftly rolls up his plans and opens the door to reveal SpongeBob.
“Oh, hey boyo,” Krabs says, sweating. “What're ya up to?”
“Nothing, nothing,” SpongeBob says as he gives a suspicious look, and then leaves. “Guess I'll take this diamond jewel elsewhere.”
“Why don't you shove it up your-” Squidward is interrupted by SpongeBob.
“Squidward, how rude! We can't say that, there's children here!”
Fred is seen eating with his son at a table.
“They don't seem to care,” Squidward says.
“Still, we're in Fancyland!” SpongeBob yells. Everyone else glares at him, and his eyes widen.
Cut to Krabs, who goes up the vent in his office. He goes out the other end and ends up near a shady looking guy in a green hoodie.
“You got the goods?” the guy asks.
“Indeed I do, sir,” Krabs responds.
“Gooooood.” The guy gives Krabs a giant wad of cash while Krabs gives him some jellyfish. They both part their ways, and Krabs is back in his office. Meanwhile, the mysterious guy brings the jellyfish to a mysterious house.
“You got the goods?” the new mysterious figure asks.
“Indeed I do,” the hooded man says as he brings his jars to the figure.
“Peeerffect…”
The mysterious figure stores the jars behind him, and cackles. He also gives a bag of cash to the hooded man, and he goes on his way.
Cut to SpongeBob riding a Roomba in the Krusty Krab, laughing as he keeps bumping into the walls.
“You're gonna get hurt you know,” Squidward says. “On second thought, keep doing it.”
Krabs walks by SpongeBob on the Roomba, which distracts the sponge, causing him to fall off the Roomba, making him face plant on the floor.
“Hey there, Mr. Krabs,” SpongeBob mumbles from the floor.
“Sorry kiddo, I'm floor deaf,” Krabs quickly says before going back outside. “I need to catch me some more jellies.”
SpongeBob gets up from the floor, leaving an indent in his face. “Mr. Krabs, there aren't an infinite number of jellyfish, you know.”
“Who cares? As long as it makes me money, I don't care!” Krabs says.
“Mr. Krabs, I think this has to stop. Who are you selling these jellyfish to anyway?”
“Uhh… that's classified.”
“I see.”
SpongeBob glares at Krabs before getting back in the kitchen.
Cut to Krabs catching more jellyfish, and then bringing them to the hooded man. The hooded man then gives him a bag of cash, and the mysterious figure is given the jellyfish, who also gives the hooded man cash. This scene plays over and over again progressively quicker each time, with the jellyfish population sign in Fancyfish Fields slowly decreasing until it eventually reaches 0.
“Oh. Guess the boyo was right…” Krabs says disappointed. “Guess I'll have to tell the hooded guy the bad news.”
“There's no more WHAT?!” the hooded man yells. “That was a good source of income for me! What am I gonna say to... the Jellien King?”
“Frankly I have no idea. But I wish you the best of luck,” Krabs says before quickly disappearing. The hooded man sighs.
“I see,” the Jellien King says in response to the bad news. “I see I'm gonna have to find other sources for food. I'm really picky so I'll just have to try everything.”
“Please don't eat me,” the hooded man says.
“Oh, I've seen what you look like, you shriveled up sponge thing. Maybe use some deodorant and just MAYBE I'll eat you.”
The hooded man gulps. The Jellien King stands up and goes outside. He first goes for Fancy!, where Squilliam is eating golden ham. The King pulls the roof out from the building, making Squilliam freeze mid-bite. The King swipes the ham from Squilliam’s mouth, and eats it.
“Blech! I'm appalled!” the King says in disgust.
On a nearby TV, Perch Perkins is reporting the news.
“A giant green gooey creature wearing what seems to be a crown is terrorizing the restaurant Fancy! Your restaurant might be next,” he reports.
Krabs is watching a flat screen TV in his office, and gasps in fear.
“BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES!” he yells as he opens the office door. “IT’S THE APOCALYPSE!”
“Hey didn't this already happen befo-” Squidward is interrupted by Krabs putting a claw over his mouth.
“Not now, Mr. Squidward. We need to go into full lockdown!”
“Well at least Squilliam finally got his comeuppance. No more ham for that guy,” Squidward remarks, laughing.
Krabs presses a button and the entire Krusty Krab gets reinforced in golden metal bars.
“Shiny,” SpongeBob comments.
Cut to the Jellien King, who is looking for another restaurant to raid. He sees the Krusty Krab surrounded in gold jail bars, but he isn't deterred. He rips apart the lockdown protocol in an instant.
“Well this stinks,” Krabs says.
“I DEMAND FOOD!” the King shouts.
“Food, eh?” SpongeBob says.
“Yes, indeed. I heard crab is expensive, so say goodbye to this fool.”
Krabs panics. “Wait, no! I have so much to exploit people for! I MEAN-”
“SILENCE! Only I get to decide what I want to eat.”
SpongeBob is in the kitchen, cooking up some quality Krabby Patties.
“Oh, the oven’s broken. Stupid overheating feature…” SpongeBob mutters.
Krabs keeps hiding underneath objects that the King keeps pulling out from underneath him.
“You can't stall forever!” The King shouts. “I can smell the delight from here!”
Krabs hides inside the cash register, and the King grabs him out of it.
“Lunch is served,” the King says as he eats Krabs whole.
“Oh no, who's gonna NOT pay us?” Squidward says sarcastically.
Just then, the King smells a Krabby Patty.
“That smells even more delightful! Whatever it is, I want it NOW,” he says.
“Twelve fresh Krabby Patties, extra laxatives!” SpongeBob shouts as he uses a cannon to shoot them into the king’s mouth. The King swallows all twelve of the patties, and Krabs ends up coming out of him.
“Holy Neptune, that was disgusting,” Krabs says. “I need to take a shower and rethink my life decisions.”
“These are delicious!” the King says in delight. “However, hold the laxatives next time.” He gives SpongeBob a bag of cash, much to Krabs’ dismay.
“WHAT?!” Krabs shouts.
“Toodle loo! See you tomorrow!” the King says as he leaves.
Krabs swipes the cash from SpongeBob’s hands, and stores it in his office safe.
“Well, that was an episode,” Squidward says. “So is this the new normal now?”
“There's always a new normal, Squidward,” SpongeBob says. “There always is…”
