Just rewatched the episode BUT....in my own language, Greek :D , it premiered today, oh men...how much I love this episode...I had the opportunity to understand it better since Greek is my main language! Again, the ending was really funny..I really liked the plot and it seemed really unique..Something I also liked was when Squidward was ready to go to his home and suddenly there's a huge thunderstorm that gives Mr.Krabs the opportunity to tell his old navy stories...Love it..10 :D

from the sb wikia, a good headcanon.

It is very likely that the ship Mr. Krabs was on in "Pull Up a Barrel" was actually the S.S. Diarrhea. However, Mr. Krabs knew how to cook food on that ship; though, the food probably caused cramps and diarrhea, hence the name.

This is my favorite episode in season 9. The plot of Mr. Krabs in his navy days while he fights another pirate crew is fun on its own, but the fact that they incorporate prototypes of the main characters give the episode the typical SpongeBob charm that made a slight comeback with episodes like this. 10/10

I Liked this episode; It focuses less on Krabs' Flanderized Love of Money, and more on his navy Days; Which harkens to the Real Life Bikini Atoll with all the Radiation(Fun Fact: Bikini Bottom is Under the REAL LIFE island of Bikini Atoll)

I Also liked his hair

A very cool episode. It was very action packed and it kept me interested all the way through. I like how Krabs' crew mates were played by the main cast, and Scarfish's line of "My personality!" when his scar gets slapped off is just great. Overall a really fun episode.

“Pull Up A Barrel” is a very unique episode, I really don’t think we’ve had one like it before. The closest thing is “Friend Or Foe”, but even that doesn’t quite fit this episode about Mr. Krabs’ dramatized past. And that’s a good thing, because it makes this episode stand out.

This episode starts out with Mr. Krabs being the money-hungry crab that he is, and again this is another example of the rapport between Mr. Krabs and Squidward. One day they’ll do something more with this, like an episode with just them, one day. Anyway, I feel Squidward in my very soul when he’s forced to wait for someone to leave so that he can leave, because that’s exactly what it’s like to work in service. And of course, once Squidward is able to leave early, the nastiest storm ever decides to roll in (bringing with it some wonderful atmosphere). I love when Squidward gets the short end of the stick, yeah I said it. It’s funny!

We then move to Mr. Krabs’ old navy tale, and this is a fun one. I love the inclusion of the characters we know and love (with neat designs too), and I love how they’re in places we might not expect (like Patrick being the captain of the ship, or Squidward being a guard). And seeing Mr. Krabs actually be a cook, and be good at it too, is great. I like when Mr. Krabs is portrayed this way, getting into the restaurant business not just because of money, but because he does actually like food. Hopefully I’m making sense. Basically what I’m saying is that Mr. Krabs’ portrayal in this episode is good.

This episode was simply fun and enjoyable. Not super funny, but it definitely did the job where it needed to. And I just loved seeing Mr. Krabs narrate all of this, Clancy Brown did a great job as always. And so this is why I really don’t have much to say about this one, it was just a very entertaining 11 minutes. It’s fun to explore Mr. Krabs’ navy days, let’s do more of that! Oh, but maybe get rid of that romance-toned stuff with Pirate Sandy. Just…no. On so many levels.

Episode Tier: Amazing
Episode Score:
9/10
