The Main Drain is a mid infamous episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. In this episode, SpongeBob and Patrick seek out the drain that once destroyed Bikini Bottom.
Why It'll Make You Go Down The Drain[]
People call it ScumBob because this episode is very boring and lots of filler. It is mostly just SpongeBob and Patrick trying to look for the main drain.
The twist makes no sense at all: if no one was heard from again, how did Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and every other citizen still survive? Despite being no survivors, someone had to have lived to tell the tale. Other than that, the copout ending makes this episode even pointless, the conclusion is that Mr. Krabs' story is just a story of a story, and the "it was all just a dream" ending is clichéd.
This episode is a rip-off of "Hooky" since in both episodes, Mr. Krabs tells a story warning SpongeBob and Patrick to not do something, just for them to be curious to do so anyways and get themselves in more trouble because of it.
