Ugh… THIS episode!
This is what you’d get if you took Have You Seen This Snail and Yours, Mine and Mine, mixed them up in a blender, and took out almost EVERYTHING that made Have You Seen This Snail good. It’s THAT bad!
In this episode, Spongebob and Gary are playing tag, before accidentally bumping into Patrick. Gary seems to be fond of Patrick, and Patrick asks Spongebob to let Gary sleep over with him that night. So, Spongebob does exactly that, and Patrick and Gary have a blast that night.
The next day, Spongebob asks for Gary to come back, but Gary doesn’t want to. He seemingly wants to stay with Patrick, and because of this, Patrick actually turns into a jerk and concludes that since Gary wants to be with him, that he claims him as his OWN pet!
• SpongeBob: Fine, but I would like to remind him who it was who fed him and housed him and sat on his bedside when he was sick and massaged his eyestalks when his eyes were sore! OK, Gary, go ahead, show him. OK Gary, come to me! Come on, come on, Gary! Come on, come here, Gay! [Gary turns around to Patrick] Uh, wrong way Gary. [Ignoring, Gary is crawling toward Pat] G-Gary, turn around! Gary, no, Gary, no, no, no! Don't do it, Gary! [he collapses as Gary crawls up to Pat]
• Patrick: Well, well, well… I guess that answers that question. So long, SpongeBob. Me and Gary got stuff to do.
• SpongeBob: [angrily] OK, fine, if that's how you want to thank me… [sadly] For all that I've done?
Am I the only one who finds that a little mean of Patrick to just take Gary away from him like that?
Out of jealousy, Spongebob tries to play with some new pets to show that he doesn’t need Gary, and both of which who don’t seem to like him very much (one is a worm (Rex) who immediately abandons Spongebob and the other is a snail (Larry) who is rather mean and vicious).
Eventually, Patrick and Gary visit Spongebob to do some laundry. Spongebob, at first, tries to act neutral, but eventually he bursts into tears, begging Gary to come home. He promises to Gary that if he comes back, changes will be made and he will have anything he wants. And this is what Patrick says after that: “How pathetic.”
Honestly, that line HURT me a little. Patrick notices that Spongebob is morbidly depressed because Gary has been taken away from him, yet he doesn’t care. He just treats him horribly without sympathy. What makes it worse is that it’s not like Spongebob and Patrick broke up as friends because of a fight like in Naughty Nautical Neighbors and The Frycook Games (both much better episodes). Patrick just acts like that. His horrible attitude comes out of nowhere! You should’ve listened to his “speech”:
Patrick: I'm sorry, SpongeBob. But Gary's with me now. [he takes off his shorts and puts them in the machine] You had your chance and you failed. You have to stop living in the past. Face it SpongeBob, you're only hurting yourself. [he takes off his shorts and puts them in the machine, Gary crawls in after them] It's what Gary wants, and what Gary wants is me!
So first you take Gary away from your best friend, leaving him miserable, then play with Gary RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, show absolutely no sympathy for him whatsoever, and tell him how pathetic he is for wanting Gary back, and you even tell him to get over it?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! DON’T YOU REALIZE THAT YOU’RE HURTING SPONGEBOB? WHAT KIND OF FRIEND ARE YOU TO TAKE HIS OWN PET AWAY, PLAY WITH HIM RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, THEN TELL HIM TO GET THE HECK OVER IT?
When I was younger, I always felt uncomfortable when THIS episode came up. Now I know why! Patrick, Spongebob’s supposed best friend, is supposed to be a sympathetic, nice character to Spongebob. But here, he acts nothing like that. He absolutely ruins the episode, and the two word line he delivers (“How pathetic”) feels like a middle finger to both the audience and poor Spongebob!
So after that infuriating speech, Gary crawls inside the laundry basket, where Patrick puts his shorts. Spongebob and Patrick see this, and find that Gary just wanted a cookie that was inside one of the pockets all along. And the episode ends with Spongebob and Gary reunited, leaving Patrick heartbroken.
Some people have stated that a later episode, Have You Seen This Snail?, came out as a rip-off of Dumped. So let me ask you this (to quote my friend E.V.I.L. from Spongebuddy Mania):
“An episode where Gary is forced to be taken away from SB and both are morbidly depressed and can't do anything about it (Dumped) vs. one where Gary feels mistreated and SB realizes how bad he was and goes out of his way to find gary and eventually lets him know that changes will be made (Have You Seen This Snail?)
lol how the heck can you choose the first one I'm sorry”
I respect opinions, but I’m actually quite a bit surprised that some people would choose Dumped over Have You Seen This Snail (which is one of my favorite episodes). Well, to each their own, I guess! But, to be perfectly honest, if the ending for this episode hadn’t come along, then this would actually be on my Bottom 3! Thank god they gave Gary back to Spongebob.
