The Splinter
Here it is,the most infamous Spongebob episode! And one of the most hated,mainly for the reason that 75% of the episode consists of disgusting and cringe-inducing moments. And for the fact that it tries to be FUNNY using those.
Anyways,the episode starts with some filler,and then Spongebob twirls his spatula into the air,getting it stuck in the ceiling. Spongebob stacks boxes of swords and tartar sauce up to the ceiling,gets the spatula,the box tower breaks,but luckly,a sword saves him. And this is where the horror begins. One of the most cringe-inducing scenes in the show:Spongebob trips and slowly gets a splinter stuck in his thumb. And Spongebob's attempts to pull the splinter off are really hard to watch.
Whooooaaaa! Hey, a splinter. Okay, well, it's been nice knowing you but you have got to go. Now. Okay, out we go. [he cannot take it off] Oh, that kinda hurts. Come on. Ooh, that really hurts. Oh, barnacles, this hurts! Conch-shelled manatees, this is painful! [tries to use Spat to take it off but fails] [ screams and pants] Okay, you're tough, you're smart, and you're charming, but you are still no match for me! Look! A bald eagle with a mustache! [tries to pull it off with his teeth, but his face skin rips off revealing his skeleton] Okay, fine, stay. But I hope you like making Krabby Patties.
Wow. Spongebob screaming in agony while painfully trying to remove that splinter is NOT FUNNY. Then,Spongebob tries making Krabby Patties with the spatula tied to his nose. He makes the Krabby Patties,and then Squidward asks him why the spatula is tied to his nose.
Squidward: [growls and goes in the kitchen] SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: Yes?
Squidward: Can I ask you something?
SpongeBob: Yes.
Squidward: [smiling with a calm, relaxed voice] What's that? [pointing to the spatula tied to SpongeBob's nose]
SpongeBob: What's what?
Squidward: You know. [flicks the spatula]
SpongeBob: Know what?
Squidward: This.
SpongeBob: What?
Squidward: This thing here.
SpongeBob: What thing where?
Squidward: The spatula [shouting] tied to your nose!!
SpongeBob: [laughs] This! Well, you see, this got stuck up there [points to the ceiling but hits Squidward in the nose] so I stacked stuff and I climbed up to reach it. I reached the grip [holds out his hand but pushes Squidward to the ground] and I got it but then I fell and I screamed! I was sure I was dead but then I wasn't but then I tripped and I got this splinter... Squidward? Squidward, were you listening at all? [shows Squidward the splinter] I got this really bad splinter, you see? [some pus falls from the splinter into Squidward's left eye] And I couldn't hold the spatula with my hand so I used my nose. [Squidward gets up] Makes sense now, huh?
Just in case "Pet or Pests" wasn't disgusting enough! Then,Squidward tells Spongebob that he has to go home because he got that splinter.
Squidward: [grumbles] Injury. Your brain is injured! [stops and gets an idea] Wait a minute. Did you say that you got that splinter injury at work?
SpongeBob: Yeah.
Squidward: Oh, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. That's not good.
SpongeBob: I know, it hurts so bad.
Squidward: Yeah, when Mr. Krabs finds out, oh, man.
SpongeBob: Finds out what?
Squidward: Finds out about this injury.
SpongeBob: You mean my splinter?
Squidward: He'll be forced to send you home.
SpongeBob: H-h-h-h-home? But I'm fine!
Squidward: Here, let me take this for you. [takes SpongeBob's hat and spatula]
SpongeBob: Why? Hey, wait, I'm fine!
Squidward: It was a good shift while it lasted. [walks into the bathroom. SpongeBob follows him]
SpongeBob: While it lasted? What are you doing? [both of them walk into a stall. Squidward flushes his hat and spatula down the toilet.] W... What are you...?
Squidward: I know it's hard to say goodbye.
SpongeBob: But, but, but, Squidward, I'm fine! [starts tap dancing] I'm fine! I'm OK! Look at me, nothing's wrong! See? See? [takes some toilet paper and wraps it around his splinter] See? See?
Squidward: Oh, I believe you, SpongeBob, but, unfortunately, [the toilet paper falls off] the rules clearly state that you must be sent home.
SpongeBob: No, anything but that. [goes onto Squidward] Please, Squidward, you can't let this happen! [cries] You can't let them force me away!
Squidward: Sorry, the rules are the rules. [SpongeBob continues crying as he clings onto Squidward, who goes into the kitchen] Yeah, it'll be pretty quiet around here with Mr. Krabs sending you home early and all. I just hope we'll make it through the whole rest of this day without you here. [smiles. SpongeBob takes deep breaths so hard that he blows air in his face]
SpongeBob: Please, Squidward! Don't tell Mr. Krabs!
Luckly,that's the only mean-spirited scene in this episode. Actually,IT'S NOT. Because Spongebob asks Patrick for help,and then we get one of the most vomit-inducing scenes in the show.
SpongeBob: Please, Patrick! I don't want to go home early! [cries]
Patrick: Okay. But we play by my rules, SquareBob. [SpongeBob smiles and nods. Patrick inspects SpongeBob's splinter with a magnifying glass] Well, here's your problem. Don't you worry, buddy. [takes out a huge wooden spike and a hammer] We're gonna make it go away.
SpongeBob: Phew, thanks, Patrick, you're a lifesaver. [Patrick places the spike ontop of the splinter and lines up the hammer, then he slams the splinter further into SpongeBob's thumb] Ow! [his thumb swells up horrifically and grows ten times in size. Patrick is looking down at it. It reaches up to his face]
Patrick: There appears to be a little bit of swelling. [Patrick picks up a lump of trash] This garbage compress should help that go down. [Patrick drops the garbage on the swollen thumb. The garbage slides off of it and the area where the splinter is inserted fizzes a sickly green ooze and turns SpongeBob's thumb a dark purple] That doesn't look good. [Patrick's watch beeps] Yeah, but my shift is over. [takes off the outfit and puts his hat on] Call me in the morning... if you can still dial the phone. [walks away. SpongeBob walks back inside]
Absolutely DISGUSTING. Why would anybody find this funny? But the horror doesn't stop here.
Mr. Krabs: Uh, SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: Yes?
Mr. Krabs: Have you always had three legs?
SpongeBob: [SpongeBob has a sock and shoe covering his splintered thumb] Yes.
Mr. Krabs: [believing him] Interesting... Well, what's this about a splinter that Squidward's been telling me all about? [SpongeBob screams] All right, boy, let's see it. [SpongeBob whimpers] Come on, SpongeBob, it's just a little splinter. I mean, how bad could it...? [SpongeBob reveals his massive, swollen thumb which has a slight area of pale green fizz around the impaled center. His thumb is now red. Mr. Krabs gags] Oh, merciful Neptune! [Squidward moans and faints] Okay, no problem. No problem. [easily picks out the splinter. There is a brief pause and the tip of SpongeBob's thumb pops and shoots out confetti] Problem sol... [green pus shoots out of SpongeBob's thumb onto Mr. Krabs' face. He takes out an umbrella as it dies down. There is a close-up of SpongeBob's free hand, bending his splinter-free thumb] Whew. For a second there, I thought I was gonna have to pay you workman's "compersation."
WHY?!?!? That is one of the most DISGUSTING things I have ever seen in my entire life! Squidward slams his head with the cash register,wanting to get worker's compensation,but his shift ended 2 minutes ago,and then the episode ends.
In conclusion,this episode is MORE disgusting than "Pet or Pests"(at least in my opinion). Not to mention,this episode is also an unfunny Spongebob torture!
