"The Other Patty" is a semi-infamous episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. In this episode, Mr. Krabs and Plankton must team up to steal a new competitor's secret recipe.
Why it doesn't need any sense for the Flabby Patty[]
People call this episode ScumBob because it has a nonsensical story, and it rips off the episode "Best Frenemies". Firstly, the story makes no sense, why does SpongeBob hope both Mr. Krabs and Plankton will team up after the Flabby Patty shack has already opened? What makes this even more nonsensical, the ending twist reveals that the owner is SpongeBob. That just makes the beginning even more confusing. So who's running the Flabby Patty Shack when SpongeBob is telling them to team up?
Secondly, it has a similar premise to the one in "Best Frenemies". Both episodes are about Mr. Krabs and Plankton teaming up. However, in here, both of them don't even wanna team up until SpongeBob really steals their job. Also, as mentioned above, it seems it's SpongeBob who forces both of them to team up. Oh, sure, they actually team up... at the very end. But, how is it called "team up" if it's about both of them chasing SpongeBob? This episode, however, is an improvement over its previous episode, Accidents Will Happen.
Redeeming Qualities[]
Even though there was some sandbagging to SpongeBob's pho-warning, the townspeople's reaction to the fish hooks was funny; depending on your point of view.
Mr. Krabs and Plankton did team up and work well together
How to fix this episode?[]
- The episode should’ve made SpongeBob to get the secret formula from Flappy Patty by himself if both Mr. Krabs and Plankton can’t cooperate.
