I am quite surprised of how many high ratings this episode gets. To me it is tied with Party Pooper Pants for the worst pre-movie episode.
Most of the episode is very bland, Mr. Krabs is mean-spirited and to me this seems like one of the first episodes where Mr. Krabs has been flanderized to the point that he cares more about money than life (which is VERY frequently seen in post-movie episodes).
Furthermore, the humour in this episode is very bland. Much of the 'humour' consists of Mr. Krabs being mean-spirited or SpongeBob getting tortured for no reason.
And that makes me wonder, is the way the kids in this episode react to SpongeBob being tortured similar to how we should react to Squidward being tortured in Choir Boys/Boating Buddies/others according to the writers? Because to me, it is NOT funny how SpongeBob is being tortured in this episode just to 'amuse' those kids.
And other than that, I find the rest of the episode just plain boring. Mr. Krabs applying over-the-top methods to get money, like we haven't seen that before...
To me this episode is actually worse than Born Again Krabs, The Sponge Who Could Fly and perhaps also The Great Snail Race (haven't made up my mind about this one).
