Porous Pockets is a high semi-infamous episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. In this episode, SpongeBob and Patrick get rich after selling a pearl.
Why It's Not Rich[]
People call it ScumBob because SpongeBob becomes an arrogant jerk towards Patrick when he becomes filthy rich after trading in a clam pearl. To make matters worse, he took all the credit despite the fact that both he and Patrick turned it in.
And to make this blunder even worse, it’s paired with the universally Panned SCUMBOB!-infamous episode Choir Boys.
Redeeming Qualities That Aren't Rich Enough To Afford Being a ScumBob[]

- This episode has a good moral of teaching the importance of valuing money and friendship, and watching out for fake friends.

- "Rule of Dumb" done right.
