  • Great pair, but boring in either of them

    Dying for Pie: I liked/laughed at Squidward's dream, Spongebob (both of his tears and some itchy one), the pie exploding parts of KK, SpongeBob doing stuffs for Squidward, Mr. Krabs on the thought then SB said hi, Squidward counting the sunset and the last part. I didn't laugh very much in this episode. It was just boring in the beginning. Overall score 9/10.

    Imitation Krabs: I only laughed at SpongeBob putting a man's disguise, Squidward getting a day off, "I will not let you down,". Plankton as robot Krabs, the robot turns into a toaster, SpongeBob trying to know the real Mr. Krabs and Hans eating Mr. Krabs. This episode was boring in some of the parts, I kinda enjoyed the episode and plot. Overall score 8/10moreless

    What I liked (Dying for Pie)- Squidward spending the day with Spongebob, Squidward remembering what Krabs said, and Spongebob saying hi to him, and him walking off crying, Spongebob crying over the sweater.

    What I liked (Imitation Krabs)- Plankton as the robot krabs laughing and having the Krusty Krab sign fall on him, the ending of the episode.

    Both were good, but I honestly felt Spongebob was a bit TOO stupid in Imitation Krabs which brings my score down a little. Both were good plots and had funny parts but I just can't help but feel Spongebob acts a little too stupid here. Still worthy of a B or so as a final grademoreless

    Dying for Pie: I thought that this was an excellent episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants". This episode also happens to be my brother's favorite episode (right next to "Band Geeks"). The plot to this whole episode was absolutely hilarious. It was funny when SpongeBob made Squidward a sweater made out of his eyelashes. Squidward buying a pie from the pirates to give SpongeBob was very funny but Squidward didn't know that it was a BOMB pie which SpongeBob ate and Mr. Krabs and Squidward fear that it could be SpongeBob's last day to live so Squidward wants to give SpongeBob the best last day ever. All of the things that SpongeBob had on his fun list or something like that for him and Squidward to do together was absolutely hilarious especially the scene with SpongeBob introducing Squidward everywhere in Bikini Bottom. It was turned out that SpongeBob didn't eat the BOMB pie and saved it for him and Squidward to share until it exploded everywhere in the Bikini Bottom (that was the ending and it was hilarious). Overall, this is what I call a "CLASSIC" episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants". 10/10

    Imitation Krabs: Just like "Dying for Pie", this was a "CLASSIC" episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants" that made me laugh so hard. That "Plankton" "Krabs" "Plankton" "Krabs"... "SpongeBob" scene in the beginning of the episode was very funny. It was funny when Plankton went inside the robot Mr. Krabs so he can steal the krabby patty secret formula. SpongeBob being gullible and thinking that robot Krabs is the actual Mr. Krabs was very funny. SpongeBob and Plankton (in robot Krabs) doing the Bikini Bottom National Anthem with chocolate milk on their heads was very funny. SpongeBob giving a test to the actual Mr. Krabs and robot Mr. Krabs because he was confused on which one was real was very funny. The Robot Mr. Krabs self-destructing on Plankton after SpongeBob put a penny in there was absolutely hilarious. Overall, a "CLASSIC" episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants". 10/10moreless

    9.3/10

    Imitation Krabs:

    In another attempt to steal the Krabby Patty formula, Plankton makes a robot that looks just like Mr. Krabs. But in order to get the formula, he will have to do some odd things as part of the "secret handshake." This is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very ugly!

    • In "Imitation Krabs", when SpongeBob was asking both Krabs that last question, why didn't he ask the robot Krabs the question, how could he guess that he was the real one without asking him the question? Edit
    • In "Imitation Krabs", during the storage room scene Plankton has imitation crabs use heat vision on the trash SpongeBob was supposed to take out. But when they show the door again, the trash is back. Edit
    • In "Dying for Pie," blood squirts out of Squidward's heart when SpongeBob is poking it. It is the only SpongeBob episode with bloodshed. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES

    • The explosion at the end of the episode has become an internet meme. It has been mostly used in SpongeBob SquarePants YouTube Poops.

      Edit

    • Mr. Krabs seeing the whole bomb-eating pie thing about 11 times could be a reference to the running time of each episode. Other episodes that reference the running time are "Nature Pants" and "Missing Identity".

    • Squidward: Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow? This was originally a line used by the comedian Janeane Garafalo. Edit
    • Spongebob: How much does a Krabby Patty cost? Krabs: $2.99! SpongeBob: On Wednesday. Plankton: $.99 The prices in that question above are the same prices used at McDonald's: $2.99 for burger, $.99 on Wednesday Edit
    • The Explosion: N/A As mentioned, Stephen Hillenburg said that the creatures of Bikini Bottom were affected by radiation from nuclear tests. In 1946, extensive atomic bomb testing by the US occurred in and around a small island in the PACIFIC known as Bikini Atoll (which is where the got the name for the swimsuits from). The explosion actually shown here is from the H-Bomb tests of the 1950s (I have seen it on the History Channel in a program related to this subject, along with numerous other places), which rules out it being from World War II, which lasted from 1939-5 (and the only A-Bombs in that war were used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the films of those bombings look nothing like the explosion seen in Dying For Pie.
