The SpongeBob Episode Where Patrick Turns Into a Squirrel 
The SpongeBob episode where Patrick turns into a squirrel is one of my favorite episodes. Not only does SpongeBob eat Patrick, but he also tells mean squirrel jokes! In this episode, we meet the Mermaidman, Neptune’s Moon, and Neptune’s Moon’s sister, the sea cucumber! It is the perfect episode to laugh at SpongeBob and all his silly mishaps.

SpongeBob eats Patrick before he eats him
The film begins with a confrontation between the two characters. SpongeBob, a nerd, is preparing to eat Patrick, who has promised to fight him. When Patrick tries to stop him, SpongeBob calls him tubby, which makes Patrick think he is being serious. But SpongeBob did nothing wrong, and Patrick did not deserve the black eye he is getting.
The episode is filled with gross-out gags. The patty is a bit gross in its own right, but the fact that it’s actually a part of an anglerfish’s tongue makes it even more disturbing. This episode is a classic example of how disgusting the show can be. Thankfully, there are far less disgusting episodes in the future.
SpongeBob tells mean squirrel jokes
In the SpongeBob episode titled “Squirrel Jokes”, SpongeBob decides to make fun of himself and others in the town. This includes making fun of Mr. Krabs’ greed and the stupidity of people. He also makes fun of citizens who smell and act weird. The episode is not without its flaws, however, as SpongeBob breaks his promise to stop telling squirrel jokes. However, he learns from his mistakes and attempts to make amends.
In “Tea at the Treedome”, SpongeBob’s belt buckle is a reference to the fact that he doesn’t need a teapot. During a sequence where Patrick and Sandy are sitting at a table, the image behind them alternates between a wall and a window. In the same episode, Patrick also says, “I’m an invertebrate!” This is true, but he still has bones.
Neptune’s Moon
In the spongebob episode “The Night Before Patrick’s Birthday,” the Neptune’s Moon is visible in the sky, giving the characters a realistic sea creature look. Despite Sandy’s warning, none of the Bikini Bottommites seem to notice the unusual occurrence. In fact, the entire island of Bikini Bottom turns into a realistic-looking sea creature for two hours. During this time, Patrick sleepwalks and SpongeBob cannot wake him up. At one point, he even spots him twice, but he still cannot wake up Patrick.
The episode also introduces King Neptune, a powerful merman god based on the Roman mythological deity of the same name. King Neptune lives in the ancient ocean city Atlantis. The character is arrogant and selfish, and wears a gold wristband, a matching crown decorated with a scallop ornament, and a seahorse emblem belt.
Mermaidman
The Mermaidman in the spongebob episode where Patrick turns into a squirrel has a very interesting back story. It begins with the history of the universe and then switches to a story about a washing machine, and ends with a marathon preparation. The name Man Ray is a pun on the name of twentieth-century surrealist Man Ray, who inspired the character. This episode also includes the appearance of an elf who looks like a giant crab in a sea shell.
The Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are recurring characters in the show. The two creatures, who are based on comic books and animated films, ask SpongeBob and Patrick to house-sit for them in exchange for a few pieces of information. After finding the clues, SpongeBob and Patrick unfreeze an evil super villain, Man-Ray. However, when the pair realize that Man-Ray is only acting, they decide to take up the Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy’s roles and return him to his lair.
Art Shift
In “The Secret Box,” Patrick is a tormentor to SpongeBob, who spends a grueling ten minutes trying to sneak a peek. The writing of “SpongeBob” has been notorious for throwing in whatever cracks them up, and the reading by Bill Fagerbakke elevates the scene. “SpongeBob” has long been a favorite among children, and this episode is no exception.
SpongeBob has been accused of harming squirrels. His infamous standup comedy routine, “Squirrel Jokes”, explains his past career as a professional comedian. The episode is one of the most famous in pop culture, and has been shared millions of times! But the best part is that SpongeBob has been known to hurt squirrels throughout the years.
Rating: B-
Is the episode where Patrick turns into a squirrel really worth watching? This week’s episode of “SpongeBob SquarePants” is an enjoyable B-grade comedy. It has a nice premise, and is funny enough, but the plot is a bit forced. The plot of the episode is a twist, and the twist itself is kind of stupid. But the whole point is that it’s still a fun episode!
SpongeBob and Patrick get stuck in the forest after sneaking onto Sandy’s jeep. Patrick then decides to change himself into a squirrel to save Sandy from the jellyfish, but he is forced to hide his new identity. Patrick is also confused and frightened when he sees the statue covered in poop. The episode is a fun ride, but it’s very long and hard to get through.
